It sure is great when you have a breakthrough. Most people do lose it for a little while though. This is because they get excited and think they’ve “got it” so they start swinging way too hard and they get lazy and stop working on the positions.
When I hear people have a break through I tried to let them know so they are on the lookout for it.
Watch this tip and just remember … If you start losing it immediately slow down and build it back up again. Otherwise you can really get off track.
Sound ,solid lesson ,Paul.JIM Mc LEAN has a series of photos showing BEN HOGAN swinging :with a marker in the background ,it is very much apparent that his head moves as you say ;
With a narrower stance ,the head shift is less pronounced,and the risk of swaying is reduced ,and more important the rotation backward and forward is easier to acheive :so I have reduced the width of my stance,without losing my balance in the stronger shots
Yes, his head certainly did move and yet there are people still teaching people to keep the head still going back. No athletic movement has you doing this. How can you possibly shift your weight if your head is still.
Yes, a narrower stance would create less lateral in the swing and reduce swaying. Glad you are not too wide. Much easier to swing this way.
