In reading through this thread, I would agree that Patrick came the closest to the root cause of DSBO....clubhead awareness. There was also a comment, I think from 6b, about the natural defense mechanism of the body.

All the suggestions for the cures of DSBO are perfect but I think they will work better with a more solid definition of the problem.

I'm seeing DSBO as a natural reaction of the body's defense mechanism when the clubhead is coming toward you, even in the slightest amount, during the swing. The eyes blink and the head moves away from that force. A natural reaction.

There is also the desire to move the club forward too soon and this causes the balance problem. Because, at some point we realise that we have to stop to let the clubhead catch up or redirected. When that happens it feels like it is a tempo problem because of the out of alignment and the feeling that everything is out of control. Again, the body then responds defensively by trying to get out of the way of that force.

I'd say then that the above suggestions will help keep the clubhead away from your head during the crucial moments of the "down/out to low point" concept. The rock at the end of a string kinda thing.
