There are many swing faults and many pros goes

around touting different swing philosophy like slow

swing, box swing, etc… These are all clever marketing

terms because golfers want to buy something to fix

their game. Even just buying a concept and may be a

book. Then there is another pocket of pros that

teaches drills and drills with bands attached to your

arms, hips, chest, ankles and even your head. Let’s

face the hard truth and the sooner that you realize the

earlier you game will get better. One it takes 1,000

hours if practice to groove a golf swing and make it

second nature. That’s a lot of balls to hit. Second, if

you still yourself with bands and whatnot then when

you take it away during a real golf game what

happens? You will forget how to swing and the

sensory inputs will be different without those

attachments.

There are many swing flaws and everyone has a

unique mix. That’s golf and that’s more importantly

being yourself. However, given the nature of physics

there is one mother of all golf swing flaw that no one

seems to have a gadget for. And that is moving the

head and loosing the posture. If you focus in keep

your head still then you will probably solve many of

the swing flaws such as early extension of the hips of

knee flex, sway to the left or right, and so on. Keeping

your head still is very important but the sad truth is

that the only way to know if your head has moved is

to ask someone to help check your head position

while your practice your golf swing. You remember

seeing those videos where Butch Harmon holds a golf

club behind ones head and ask you to swing. That

way you have good feedback if your head has moved

or not. For all of us weekend warriors if you want to

really improve on keeping your head still then you

either hire a golf coach for many hours of practice or

just convince yourself that it is not your probably as

you can sense it yourself. Then you go to fix other golf

swing flaws. Well, I have done that for a very long time

but my golf did not improve much. However, an old

guy and very seasoned golfer gave me on a very

simple piece of advice “don’t move your head and just

turn your hips”. But he did talk three hours about the

benefit of heavy shaft and not too heavy head and so

on. Long story short, it helped by leaps and bounds.

He watched my head as he was retired and had

nothing much to do. I think he wants to share his

knowledge too and I am in deep gratitude to him.

When Apple showed a

iPhone 5 with face

recognition being

hardware accelerated,

I immediately took to

XCode and started

mastering the APIs to

build my golf head

position app. Now my

finished product is

GolfXion which sounds like “golf action” and it is

completely free. It does not carry advertisements. Just

as the old guy shared his knowledge with me, I am

sharing this golden nugget of information. I hope your

golf swing can improve just like mine did. I used to be

a very high handicapper but now I am very close to

being single digit.

Another reason that I am wiring this is it makes me

angry to see those bull**** advices such as 5 ways to

fix your drive, 3 ways to cure your putting woes, 7

ways to get out of the rough, etc. There is only one

thing to work on when you want to improve your

swing, keep your head still (posture is implied by head

position).

One feedback from many people that I show GolfXion

to is “but I need to buy a stand”. Golfers will literally

do anything to improve their swing. A stand only cost

less than a wedge from your favorite golf company.

It’s easy to setup and bring around. My web site has

links to stands that you can order from Amazon. Click

here to go to those articles. If you need more battery

just get one of those battery packs. My personal

favorite is PowerGorilla as it can even change my Mac

Air too It’s impressive, if you don’t mind me saying.

I think I have said enough, please get yourself a stand

which probably cost less than a wedge and focus on

the fundamentals of golf. I am also a big fan of Ben

Hogan’s book the Five Fundamentals and I highly

recommend that you read this great book.
