A book published by Jack Nicklaus in 1965.
Tournament spectators will notice that a great many Tournament pros turn their heads to the right just before starting the backswing, an action that is especially marked in myself and Sam Snead. This cocking of the head is something more than just a nervous twitch.
It serves 3 valuable purposes.
1: It's a positive move, like the forward press of the hands, from which to start the backswing.
2: Turning the head to the right makes it possible to take a longer, freer turn with the hole body.
3: A method by which we help brace ourselves against swaying to the left on the downswing and moving our body out ahead of the ball at impact.
Yes and it helps. I have the tendency to move my club 3 inches back from he ball and then stop. Then i start my backswing. Just helps me with my rythm.
