2-F-7-C Bobbing

[Yoda]

Don . . . check your buddy's neck/head at address . . . imagine he's got laser beams shooting out of his eyes . . . where would the laser shoot if it were coming straight out of his eye sockets? Good chance that he needs to tilt his head down. He could be making that move so he can see the ball.

The "adding waist bend" can be a geometric problem because it can be a disruption of the "radius" . . . if his head is lowering there are implications in the orbit of the club and some sort of compensation will manifest it self . . . raising up . . . bending left wrist . . . bending the left elbow . . . could be anything.

Look at Adam Scott's address . . . his teach has for sure told him to "keep his spine straight" . . . look at where his eyeball laser would be shooting at adress vs. four frames back from the last frame . . . clearly he has tilted his chin down . . . look at the bill of his cap in the sequence . . it moves down that telephone pole in the back. You can't hit what you can't see.

Happily, this is not a recent sequence. Saw Adam at Doral this spring, and he's DEFINITELY changed his Head position at Address. He's now looking at the ball. Also, his Start Up is On Plane (and not 'outside'). Yay!

Agree . . . much much better now . . . Butchy teaches that head up stuff . . . ain't no good IMO.

Here's a swing sequence of a known bobber.

Natalie's cervical spine and left scapula stays very level despite lowering the top of her head.
Use the red flag in the driving range as a stationary reference point.
She does move her head up and down during the swing but the overall integrity of her upper spine and left shoulder remains level.

In a book where everything is important, it is amazing how 3-F-7-C makes an immediate improvement to any golf swing. A couple of rounds ago I found my contact on fairway woods and iron shots thin, with little compression. I moved those laser beams down at the ball, feeling a lot more head tilt. Next six holes, not one mishit shot. I recently tried more right hip clearing to trigger the backswing. My head bobbed, moving to the right and back to the heels as I turned my right hip. If I clear the right hip while my head stays in its address position, it is extremely difficult to hit a bad shot. Kevin Carter got me to pre-clear that right hip, never really clicked until I realized the head was moving with the right hip. Try it, turn the right hip while your head is against a door jamb, right between feet. Don't move it at all while the right hip clears. First you will notice the hip doesn't turn as much, due to flexibility issues and also you will note that the power package moves back, in and up. No out and over-rotation of the LFW like Mr. Scott exhibits above. My irons are going 15 yards farther, I am drooling like Brett Favre when I come to a par three.
