One Thing At a Time

[12 piece bucket]

I have a fellow who I'm fitting for new clubs. He has a nice swing but........

Looking at his club face we saw hits all over the place, no two in the same place, no groupings of hits. His ball path is releatively streight. There is no argument that he is paying a penalty in short distance because of this movement.

His head moves all over the place. There is no one direction that is worst than another.

What can he do alone, during his practice, to reduce his movement during the swing?

1. stick a couple of shafts together stick 'em in the ground at an angle and swing with his head on there

2. Make swings with his shadow where he can see what his head is doing . . . make sure it's not moving around

3. Pay attention to his perspective of the ball . . . is he losing site of the ball? Is he looking at a different part of the ball as a result of the movement.

4. make pivots with his head on a door jam so he can get a feel for what his hips spine and shoulders have to do to keep his head in place

5. Mirror work . . . stick some tape on the mirror where your head is make swings . . .

Thanks 12 piece and others.
I can put together a good list of things for this fellow to do.

1. stick a couple of shafts together stick 'em in the ground at an angle and swing with his head on there

2. Make swings with his shadow where he can see what his head is doing . . . make sure it's not moving around

3. Pay attention to his perspective of the ball . . . is he losing site of the ball? Is he looking at a different part of the ball as a result of the movement.
