Head Still - Tiger

If you were watching the PGA Championship this week you may have noticed Tiger's caddie Steve Williams do this drill seen above over and over again. Steve would hold a club up against Tiger's head and he would try to keep his head as still as possible to maintain his swing center. Tiger picked this tip up from his rumoured new swing coach Sean Foley. Tiger has had a problem over the past couple of years of his head moving back on the takeaway and downward on the downswing. That assists Tiger in getting "stuck" and hitting large blocks to the right or he flips his hands and hits it left of his target.
This is a great drill for any golfer to work on. Have someone hold a golf club just beside your head as you hit a golf shot. Your goal will be to not have any pressure on the club helping you keep a still head and a consistent swing center. It will be very easy to tell if your golf swing has too much head movement.
Try this drill to maintain your swing center and help you create more consistency in your golf swing.
