Stationary Head - To be or not to be

[birdie_man]

1)Stationary head of course is the Uncompensated Version of the pivot, As long as the width caused by the bent right wrist, shoulder height position during impact head position is constant, its a more or less "perfect" impact.

This of course is the Golfing Machine answer. I think there is more to it tho.

We've been through this one already BTW.

other things like trying to coil the torso, the concious or unconcious need to feel positive weight and momentum transfer, such and such, either can be merely a matter of what you want to feel. Most of this type of head position will in evitably need to bob slightly to the correct impact alignments for a solid impact, or make other compensation. But it does not mean its wrong. alot of great legends does that.

Coolcool. I don't think it's just there to accomodate a feel I want to have in my stroke tho.

Assuming we're on the same page, we're talkin about a few inches of head movement here. (if we're still talking about a Centered motion..."base of neck" Center)

I'm usually not aware of or concerned about any head movement unless I stop and really try to monitor it.

So it really feels like nothing to me (err at least not like you describe it or for those reasons)...

If anything, I find it feels athletic. (and I mean the pivot that RESULTS in the head moving...the body position)

And I think its an acceptable preference and compensation. though I feel its still compensating. you do not need to do that as the less movement in golf is efficiency.

Coolcool. You can think what you want.

I don't think it's that simple tho as I've been saying all along.

You say compensation...I say "compensation."
