"I regard keeping the head very steady, if not
absolutely stock still, throughout the swing as the bedrock fundamental of
golf... I believe that keeping the head still is one of the most difficult
things a golfer has to learn to do."
—Jack Nicklaus in Golf My way
"...there should never be any vertical,
up-and-down movement of the head during any part of the swing until well into
the follow-through. Vertical movement of the head and/or upper body can only
cause those frustrating bad shots-either fat or topped"
—Butch Harmon in The Four Cornerstones
of Winning Golf
"As you coil your upper body, be careful to
maintain your spine angle. That means keeping your spine tilted the same amount
at the finish of your backward coil as it was at address. Losing the spine angle
is a common problem... It's very important to keep that spine angle constant,
because that maintains the club's reference to the ground and the ball."
—Jim McLean in Golf School
"You need only raise your spine up about three
quarters of an inch to an inch from its starting pint at address, and assuming
you make no other adjustments, the result wil be a topped shot."
—Butch Harmon in The Four Cornerstones
of Winning Golf
"One of the biggest keys to a repeating swing,
and a fairly steady head, is to focus on maintaining the spine angle (as
established at address) until just after impact"
—David Ledbetter in Faults and Fixes
"If the spine angle you establish at address
should change appreciably during your swing, your head position will obviously
move in tandem with it, resulting in compensations having to made in order to
hit the ball solidly"
—David Ledbetter in Faults and Fixes
