Still very still - as yoda once said (paraphrasing) - Homer used the word stationary for a reason.
Any head movement in the stroke would move the low point and impact point of your clubhead orbit. Your left arm and clubshaft and head form a radius., If you move your head, you will move your radius of that clubhead orbit
Last night I hit a couple bags of balls. My first few hits with my gap wedge were pretty good, then I started hitting down on a steeper angle. The ground was dry and hard so it was quite noticeable in difference in feel. I think as happens too often my first few swings are easier and smoother with little or no head movement or sway. Then I start swinging harder to hit it further. I may be pushing off with my back leg too much. But at any rate I get sway and head movement causing various direction and trajectory changes.
As a side question, do you focus on a specific point on the ball or look at the ball as a whole and swing through that place?

Only really specific to me - I actually put my eyes very slightly out of focus (very light fuzz) because of phychological reasons. I find im more consistant in my execution maybe because of nothing else I just feel more comfortable this way, the ball looks far less intimidating...something I have done for a long while....IMO I don't think it really matters as long as you understand the thrust is down and out till both arms straight and the clubface is slightly open at impact (dependant on Hinge Action) and square at seperation....
