Bobbing mentions the faulty movement of the back.
What is the faulty movement of the back?
On his Golf Channel video Yoda talks about the centred, stationary head may swivel, but must not sway or bob. So my understanding is that the back must not change its forward leaning spine position in the backstroke & downstroke in such a way that bobbing occurs.
I am curious why the bobbing of the head on the downswing is a big deal to playing high level exceptional golf. Watching most of the great players of all time on the down swing their head lowers as the body seems to compress into the ground. Tiger and Hogan did it considerably. You wont find many that dont drop it down to some degrees in the downswing.
backswing I agree that you want no bobbing.

I think its a big thing for us club players. We don't have the talent or the time to groove and learn the compensations that are needed. You have to remember El Tigre and Ben Hogan have spent hours upon hours on the practise tee hitting ball after ball.
We are trying to learn the uncompensated stroke with TGM and the less compensations you have the better your swing and your golf will be.

It could be that transitioning to the Elbow Plane from the Top of their Swings needs a very strong Downward Thrust, then Outward. Downward then Outward in a sequenced kind of way. Whereas, while Swinging on the TSP we need a Force (Right Shoulder) that's Downward on Plane; Down and Out Simultaneously.
Thanks you all for your coments. I was trying to help
a fellow gowing to Q School. He is concerned about his
head moving down on the downswing. I don't see it as a big
problem but the guy wants to be perfect.
