The common but wrong advice I often hear from one amateur to another is "keep your head down" or "still" whilst topping the ball. While eye, ball coordination is important in any kind of sport it is possible and likely to hit the ball well with your focus is not on the ball. The problem comes when the distance you are from the ball created in you set up is changed by your legs or back angles changing during the swing. (Dia 1,2 and 3) show the different points in the swing with the back angle staying the same, helping consistent striking of the ball. The follow through (Diagram 4) is the only time you should allow the back angle to straighten to create a ballenced finish position

This lesson will be followed up next week with a lesson to show how swaying in the golf swing affects ball flight.
