In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf explain why your head goes up in the backswing and the three causes they see most often in lessons and on Swing Coach. You’ll learn why the face-on view is the one to trust for head movement, how over swinging pulls you out of your body angles, what the first brake has to do with it, and why the arm hoist makes the head pop up. They also share a simple club-on-the-shoulder drill and show how the tour average lets the trail knee add flex as the head comes down. Which cause sounds most like your swing?
