Another frustrated bobber
Having been trying to learn the golfing machine i've realised bobbing is something i've always struggled with.

My head rises towards the top of the backswing and perhaps more worringly doesn't move down again on the downswing. I've tried to stop many times and failed. Having seen it listed on the TMG basic essentials i thought it was worth another shot at trying to cure.

Unfortunately it is easier said than done. I can concentrate on keeping the head level and can do so, but i can still feel the pressure wanting my head to rise. Consequently everytime i don't think about it i go back to bobbing.

For me i think the bobbing is caused by tension in the left shoulder created by the lifting of the arms in the backswing. I've tried experimenting with a shoulder turn takeaway, using the body to propel the arms to the top. I think this has help slightly but not as much as i'd like.
