Remember, when Jeff made that comment, he was talking about the potential for being 'ball bound' into the Finish. In other words, staying down 'too long.'
To prevent that, he wants his Head to swivel nicely into the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position) and then to come up naturally as he moves onto his left side into the Finish. He definitely was not talking about the need to introduce a Bob (up-and-down movement) or a Sway (side-to-side movement, with the Stroke or in reverse) into his Stroke.
And thank you, Matt, for picking up on that marvelous Stroke. If anyone thinks it's easy to look straight into the camera lens and rip an iron shot long and straight and with a beautifully-carved divot, just try it sometime.
Impressive?
You bet!
Thanks for the reply Lynn. I didn't infer from it that he wanted to introduce extraneous movement, but noticed that it was a 'different' way of phrasing things.
I would think that having your head stay down too long is a problem that doesn't develop overnight. Usually, when I Swing, the pivot rotation brings the head around and up automatically past impact. Perhaps too many Basic and Acquired motion strokes? Not really sure where I'm going with this other than to further my understanding of interdependency within a stroke.

Matt,
I know Jeff has been doing some work on this lately. I'm sure he will be happy to weigh in and share his thoughts on the subject.

Matt,
I have many "different" ways of phrasing things that often get taken out of context, so don't feel bad. My head stays "down" too long past impact in my opinion because of years of playing golf with a hang back, swing up motion. There are many bad habits that become engrained in our early years and this is one of mine.
I actually like the position of my head, I only wish it would swivel faster to finish. In fact, when I make practice swings and work on acquired motion drills, my head is in much better position.
Like I said in the video, the ball is long gone so its not something I am going to stress over, just practice a little more.
