Do as the 'Greats' have done, Toolish. Heed the instruction of their own teachers -- often their fathers -- and, during your Stroke, keep your Head still.

Ignore all this hair-splitting 'Spine Center versus Head Center' controversy, and just do your best to keep your Head still from Address until well through Impact. It will help your game. Soon, 'staying still' will be a subconcious habit, you will Turn freely in both directions -- if you don't, it is a Pivot problem, not a Head problem -- and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Your Body will have become a Rotor and your Clubhead a 'Wrecking Ball.'

"The attempt and not the deed confounds us."

-- William Shakespeare

But this prescription is not license to become 'ball-bound.' Once the Ball is away, let your Head swivel with the Stroke and move toward your left side into the Finish.

Again quoting Harry Vardon:

"Keep your eye on the ball until you have hit it, but no longer. You cannot follow through properly with a long shot if your eye remains fastened on the ground. Hit the ball, and then let your eye pick it up in its flight as quickly as possible."
