Comments: ttucker@rochester.rr.com Love your practice, own your swing, own your health, Tom Tom's Bonus Tip: Lifting Up For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective. One of the most common swing faults I see is lifting up on putts or full swings. Many times I've heard players that I play with say they hit a bad shot because they "lifted their head", when in reality they lifted their whole upper torso. Lifting your upper body or your head during the swing or stroke changes your posture, which changes your weight distribution and the point of contact with the ball. It compromises your alignment and swing plane in the middle of your swing. This in turn changes your swing path and your clubhead orientation to the ball. For full swings, this error often leads to lifting and pushing the handle of the club away from your body, opening the clubface, and causing either a blocked shot or a slice or fade. For putts, the most often miss associated with lifting up is a putt that ends up short and right of the target, although every now and then it can result in a pull if your hands try to over correct the error at impact. The cure is staying "down and through" on all swings until the clubhead is well past impact.
