Head Position Is Key In A Good Swing
Posted by Kevin Phillips under: Golf .
I would be a rich man today if i had a dollar for all the times i have heard somebody say the immortal words "Your Head Moved during the swing, gotta keep that head down if you want to play good golf" This is not going to help your golf game at all, in fact i would go so far as to say it will ruin your day on the golf course. Keeping your head down is not what you want to hear ... it ought to be "Keep Your Head Still"
The reason your head positon should not be down is because this will restrict your backswing and not allow yourself the chance to turn you sholders correctly on the backswing. You will find yourself compensating some other way to get a full swing which in turn leads to additional faults. Bad shot after bad shot ensues as your head and your golf game descend lower and lower. Never fear because a solution and help is at hand.
Right, lets get to the heart of the problem as i know you will be wondering what you ought to be doing. The answer to the problem if your main swing thought is to keep your head down is simple enough and is about to be revealed.
An important part of your game should be a good posture which includes your head position. Hold your head up as high as possible when taking up your stance. Obviously make certain you can still see the ball. This will allow you to turn your shoulders correctly as opposed to having your head down, and we understand all too well the problem that creates. This new head position is going to let you make a backswing which allows you to keep your head still.
So there you have it. Yet again no magic pill need be taken, common sense prevails in golf and this is one tip you should follow if you want a golf swing that can generate consistent and better ball striking. As with most changes to a golf game you will need to apply this for a while before it becomes second nature to you.
I am sure all golfers who strive to keep their head down are doing this in an attempt to keep the head still. Which is for sure what you should be trying to do. I trust you can now understand that keeping your head down is only hindering your growth in becoming a better golfer.
