Aimee Cho addresses the common issue of losing sight of the golf ball during the backswing. She explains that excessive arm tension and a rushed tempo pull the head out of position. By using the 'X-Drill' and 'Triangle Drill,' golfers can learn to rotate using their core muscles, leading to a stable head position and more consistent impact.
A fast or 'rushed' backswing is usually caused by over-using the arms and shoulders.
Tension in the neck and shoulders pulls the head off the ball, leading to inconsistent contact.
Rotation should be powered by the core (abs, obliques, and hips) rather than the upper body alone.
Keeping your shoulders 'away from your ears' helps maintain your spine angle and eye contact with the ball.
Practicing torso-only rotation without a club helps build the muscle memory needed for a steady head.
