Head Dipping
The definition of frustration is knowing what you’re doing wrong, but not being able to fix it. Case in point – my spine angle. Here’s a video of a drive I hit about a month ago:
Here, I tried to show this in a side by side. The picture on the left is my backswing. The picture on the right is my downswing. I drew in the red line at my head and the yellow line on my shoulders. When I start my downswing, my head comes down, I bring the club up, and my shoulders come in.

That causes a number of things explained in this video:
During my practice sessions I’m trying to concentrate on keeping my spine angle consistent and my head up. It seems to work. The problem is when I am in the middle of a round and it happens. It’s not just on my full swings either. The head bob/shoulder dip pops its ugly head during chips and pitches too, causing either super fat shots or sculls.
Guess I’m going to research how to fix this and see what I have to do. Damn, how can hitting a little white ball be so tough!
