I’m thinking it might be the hips. Working on the program and keeping weight on front foot as well as not moving arms separately from shoulders and all as a unit. Definitely seem to go back to old swing habits! Thanks!
Those "ghosts of swings past" are certainly stubborn and are always looking for a way to come back and haunt us! Keep working those drills to ingrain the motions, and remember that you can always arrange for a V1 Swing Video Analysis Lesson so I can put my eyes on your swing and offer a specific diagnosis and action plan. In fact, scheduling a V1 on a quarterly basis will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis on this page of the Saguto.Golf site.
Welcome to this great forum community, @Kim Edgerton!!
Oftentimes, looking up is not a curiosity issue but is rather a result of something gone amiss earlier in the swing motion that caused the head to come up prematurely. For example, perhaps the hips stopped their lateral targetward move in the downswing and thereby allowed the rotational component took over, or the golfer's weight drifted back into the trail side, or a steep path caused the golfer to pull up in order to prevent the club from crashing into the ground, etc. Whatever the cause, it's best to try to reverse-engineer it through video as any advice to "keep your head down" is flawed as it does not get to the root of the problem
