Would you guys say that the goal of having every student to maintain a ‘zero tolerance’ Stationary Head will actually limit their potential to play their best?
No, to the contrary, I teach that the 'Zero Tolerance' Stationary Head is a worthy goal to which every Student should strive. And when I watch Ted Fort smash a drive past the 280-yard marker with a water bottle balanced on his head, I am reminded of what is, in fact, possible for Students who apply themselves to Principle, not Opinion.
But that doesn't mean the Student should think about keeping his Head Stationary on every Stroke. That way lies restrictive sorrow. Instead, he should learn the Stationary Head the same way he learns every other sound Stroke Mechanic: Translating Mechanic to Feel first in Drill, then on the Practice Tee and finally on the Course itself. This is 'learning to tie your shoelaces.' Once the technique has been ingrained, it is accomplished without conscious thought. This is simply 'tying your shoelaces.'
The golfer's goal should be to deliberately program sound Stroke Mechanics and then delegate their execution to the subconscious mind. Then, the more precise those Mechanics, the more precise the Golf Stroke.
