Ed,

The Stationary Head is extremely important and duly worth the attention you are now giving it. Three questions:

1. Do you establish your Head Position in your Impact Fix position?

2. Is that Head Position precisely between your Feet, i.e., the top of a Pivot Stroke Center Tripod?

3. While your Ball Location with the longer and shorter Clubs may remain constant with respect to your Left Foot, do you sense that it changes markedly with respect to your Left Shoulder as your Right Foot is drawn toward your Left and your Head Position remains Centered?

Give careful consideration to these questions and reply post. Thanks!
Below are my responses to your questions:

1. I do establish my head position for the Impact Fix position. Also I establish that my left wrist is flat and the left shoulder is higher at impact fix than at address.

2. My head position is precisely between my feet. The relationship of my head to my feet forms an isoceles triangle. Prior to reading TGM and the TGM related forums, my head position was closer to the right foot.

3. I never thought of this, but I do sense that the ball position changes relative to my shoulder when my head position remains centered. As my right foot moves away from the left foot, the ball position seems closer to the left shoulder. As I move my right foot towards the left foot, the ball positions seems to be more towards the middle of the stance, eventhough it is in the same position relative to my left foot.

I look forward to your response, I hope this info can help some of the forum members and I know it will help me determine what I am doing right and any misinterpretations of TGM I may be applying to my swing.
