Over Look The Ball

 

Web Tip: The Correct Head Movement Every Swing Needs 

 During a good golf swing, your head makes its own mini-swing. Certainly, it doesn’t remain rigid.

Your head should rotate in the same manner as your front shoulder—away from the ball during the backswing and toward it during the downswing. This rotation shouldn’t be confused with moving the head forward. Moving the head forward, or up or down during the downswing, can cause a myriad of problems. The head should rotate in its place until the power of your swing pulls your body forward and up into the finish.

Think of it this way: During the downswing, your head should release. When you release your head correctly, you’ll look “over” the ball as it flies away and track its path immediately from the point of contact. If you hold your head rigid, you’ll look “under” the ball and hinder your weight shift.
