Today we're going to talk about keeping your head still.

One of the biggest misconceptions and lies about golf is it's okay to move your head. This happened because of the rotational golf swing and is not based in fact or physics.

Back in the early 60's (when I started playing golf) and all the way up to the 90's it was an absolute “must” that you keep your head still. This keeps your spine in control which gives you a lot better chance of maintaining your angles.

But when the big rotational swing came, they started telling people it's okay to move your head “a little.” (Without any scientific data or details on how far a “little” was.)

Here's the problem with that:

If your head is attached to your shoulders by your neck (and there isn't a human being alive whose isn't!), and if you turn your shoulders 90 degrees or more along with your hips, it is anatomically impossible to keep your head still.

Instead, your head is going to get pulled off moving with the shoulders.

This is a disaster if you want to hit the ball straight!

Why?

Because that means you are taking your focus and vision away from the ball before impact.

And yet, with the Peak Performance Golf Swing our head stays dead STILL. So where we're looking at when we address the ball is where we're looking at at the top of the back swing, and therefore makes it much more easy and consistent to return the club back to the ball — since we've never taken our focus and our vision from there.

When you see what you've been looking at through the swing, and maintain your spine angle by keeping your head still, you have a better chance of returning the club to that ball and hitting it solid, straight and longer.

Best part:

It's easy!

Just don't move your head during the swing!

Tomorrow I'm going to teach a valuable lesson about swinging into the “mitt.”
