The cure for both is to keep your Head Stationary from Impact Fix -- where the Head Location is established prior to assuming an Adjusted Address -- to at least to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position).

Per 1-L-21, "The relations of all Machine positions and motions can be described by a geometric figure." And the relationship of the Head to the Feet is a Triangle. Ideally, it is an isoceles triangle with the Centered Head at the peak of the triangle. It is not a right triangle (which is what you get when you tilt your spine to the right in an exaggerated attempt to 'put your head over your right knee and get behind the ball.'

How do you learn to do this? You do it and do it and do it while you look, look, LOOK to make sure you are staying steady. Use a mirror in drill and your shadow on the Practice Ground.

The Moe Norman sequence below illustrates the correct triangular concept. Moe never Sways the peak of his Triangle -- either right or left -- from Address through the Follow-Through. However, proving the rule that nobody is perfect, note that he does Bob -- he lowers his Head -- through Impact. He does so because his Knee Bend increases as he moves into Impact. He could have solved this problem by establishing his Impact Head Location as part of his Address Routine, but like most players, he did not.

Professor Turnip Greens,

The "fix" for Moe would have been to establish his appropriate knee bend and tilt at Fix and thus his head position? Through Fix the angles of the tripod are established and maintained by keeping the stead head?

I'm liking this.
