i've been having issues, especially with driver not getting distance. I feel like I'm making good contact. In my simulator the flight looks good, feels good. After analyzing my swing notice my head moving towards the target. I know @Tom Saguto says this in many videos but I'd like to put emphasis on it. KEEP THE HEAD STILL!!. while watching all of Tom's videos notice his head staying where it starts. I noticed with driver my back spin was way to high up in the 4k area. if I keep my head back behind the ball (that's how i set up with ball forward) the club head shallows out a bit before the ball and the angle of attack goes down causing the back spin numbers to go into the mid 2ks. which is ideal... long story short. Don't overlook the head position during the swing. Thoughts?

Part 2 of the Best Contact Drill focuses on keeping the trail knee back. If we can do that then we will typically keep our head and swing center intact.
Also, here is one from the KFC Club on keeping a steady head.
And use video often!
thanks @Tom Saguto ..I thought I deleted that duplicate post :). Sorry about that. Any suggestions on a practice station or some drill to fix this?
I see that you made this same post in another thread, @Gerry_Lager. My reply was as follows:
It is that critical. If you keep your head and accordingly the center of your swing circle in place as the weight continues to load forward through impact (70% at the transition, 80% halfway down, 90% through the zone), you cannot help but to shallow the path. Conversely, let that upper torso go and it's then all we can do to save our shot from the perils of steepness. Nice self-discovery!
