My advice is focus on keeping your head as still as possible.  At Swing Surgeon Golf he talks about this exact point.  I agree with their points that keeping the head a still as possible (it will never be completely still) will allow for a more consistent swing.  And for most amateurs this is what we are looking for.  Keeping the your head as still helps develop and swing that can be duplicated and is more consistent.

There are many tricks and tips out there on how to keep your head still.  The one tip that works best for me is to swing at 90% strength, watch the club make contact and count to one, staying focused on the spot where my club hit the ball. You will be pleasantly surprised and the results.

Tomorrow is a special day for all my friends in the United States.  I wish everyone a fantastic 4th of July.  I hope you are spending it with friends, family and loved ones.  See you on the links;  I am a grateful golfer!
