i'm pretty sure it's not a flexability issue as i can practice a 110 degree turn without a club with my arms across my chest and have no urge to lift my head. It seem to be directly related to the lifting of my arms.

I know it would be a lot easier if i had some video, but any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Danny,

The phrase above and your reference to tension on "lifting your arms" in your previous post are the clues to the cause of your problem.

The back swing is a positional move and NOT a power generator - we hit the ball on the down swing.

Try making an easy back swing that stops at the Top - hands shoulder high, roughly.

Searching for additional power by going on from the Top and raising the arms, your body and head in the process is your self-diagnosed problem.

Swing back shorter and easier, then cram on the power only after you have made a smooth transition to the down swing.

Club head speed between parallel back and parallel forwards on the down swing only should be your objective.
