In the Durant video, he appears to start rotating his head forward well before he completes his backswing, it seems like he gets his head pointing to Follow-Through long before his arms arrive there, like pre-setting his fulcrum to its most effective (and comfortable?) location ....

Annika Sorenstam and David Duval make a similar move through the Ball. As I recall, Andy Bean and Paul Azinger do so on the Backstroke as well. But check it out...I'm operating from memory here.
Yes, Annika, Duval, Zinger all rotate their heads as the club swings down, not sure about Bean. What's interesting to me about Durant is that he appears to rotate to pre-aim his head to Follow-Through where it stays until the momentum of his swing takes it around. Here's another video of Joe ....
I first saw Joe swing about five years ago, the sound and trajectory of his shots is a cut above his peers. The last three years he's ranked 2nd, 1st, and 3rd in Ballstriking. Worth studying, no?
Head rotation always made sense to me, but hard to do. When you move to turn around while walking does your head follow the bosy or body folow the head? If you get in a fight/wrestling match the best way to gain control is to go after the head. Last one, think abbout little kids and there big heads and how that controls them. i know it's not TGM but it makes sense.
The Head is the Pivot Center Homer recommends. And per 1-L-2, The Pivot can turn (i.e. rotate), but not sway or bob. So the most important thing is that the Head doesn't move up or down or sideways. Rotation of a rod does not change it's position.
