Annoying head movement problem I can't seem to fix

You have a point. It's whatever works for you. Look at Bubba Watson standing on his tip toes at impact! Lots of different ways to hit a golf ball!

Hi again,

Watching my swing on video I've noticed a bad habit I have with my head pulling back away from the ball on my downswing.  NOT UP, which I think most people struggle with, but back a good 6-8" (away from the ball, not away from the target).  A pro I've seen says it's because my left hip is spinning behind me;  if you draw a vertical line touching my butt at address at impact my left hip/butt cheek is well behind that line.  My misses are thin/toe shots and/or big/snap hooks (I have a tendency to flip/release my hands too quickly at impact).

I'd like some suggestions as to how I can address this as it's ingrained in my muscle memory.  I can't put my head against a wall and hit balls (obviously) and I don't have someone who I can ask to left me rest my head on their hand while I swing.

Thanks for your help. 

I have the same movement. My head moves posteriorly (in anatomical terms) a few inches at impact. Wonder if it is contributing to my thin shots? I just noticed I do this yesterday when I watched some video. I'll probably try the wall technique to try and keep my head in the same position.
