Losing Sight of the Ball in the Backswing? Most overswinging comes down to one thing: letting the head and neck rotate until you almost lose sight of the golf ball. That rotation removes all the slack from the system... but in the wrong direction. The fix is to establish your head position at address... you can rotate it slightly like Jack Nicklaus if you want, but then hold that position through the backswing. You'll feel a stretch in the neck almost immediately. That stretch is the governor. It creates a real wind-up instead of an overswing, controls backswing length naturally, and leads to better, more consistent shots.
