GOLF
A great deal has been written and verbalized about the movement of
the head in the golf swing. Here are some written comments and/or
observations from top golfers and from golf instructors.
Tiger Woods, from his book, How I Play Golf. “Impact should look like
address. My spine angle is the same and my head is in virtually the
same spot. It proves how uncomplicated the golf swing can be.
Tom Watson, in an article from Golf Digest. “Sam Snead was my
swing model. Sam told me late in his life that his secret was to swing
around his head. Sam was the best at keeping his head still. It
contributed to his great tempo and with good ball position, resulted in
consistent ball striking. In bad swings, the head moves up and down
too much causing the body weight to go to the heels or toes. Strive to
keep your head in place during the backswing and into impact.”
David Leadbetter, The Golf Swing. “Your spine angle at impact is
identical to the angle at which you set up at address. Your head and
spine are behind the ball.
