You have a point. But I think there needs to be a differentiation between who is dipping their heads! World class golfers or an average hack? I don't think we average duffers can get away with those moves!

In fact, there was something on the Open telecast today about how primo players would move their heads, and bodies, around in the swing. They framed the player's head in a vertical and horizontal axis, and showed how it moved and rotated relative to their swings. Very interesting.

But, we're talking players like Nicklaus and Woods! Hogan and Dustin Johnson! These are guys who live golf. Not an average chop!

Thanks for all the ideas and help!  Some of these tips definitely helped.  Played two rounds this weekend with my new sticks and while I didn't score spectacularly, I did hit the ball pretty well.  57% driving accuracy Saturday followed by 64% today.  GIR wasn't great Saturday, but it was also the very first round with new clubs and I'm still trying to figure yardages a bit better.  61% today though with none of the misses too extreme and really only 3 truly bad shots.

    • Day 555 - 2026-04-09 Played 17 holes (we skipped 6 to pass a group letting us through). Hit more good shots than I was expecting. 😄 
    • Day 233 4-9 flow drill while focusing on better hip/chest rotation. Used mirror. 
    • Comment:  Huh, I practiced regularly until 1/31, got busy in Feb-Mar (as I knew I would), and got reinspired today.  I have done some intermittent practice in the past two months, but let's get back on the daily practice wagon. Day 1, April 9 2026.  I worked on some pelvis turn limiting drills, doing one for several iterations before context switching to hit a few balls slowly (trying to retain that feeling), and repeating.
    • I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.
    • Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.
