A common phrase heard on the
golf course is "keep your head down." Keeping the head down and still is the
number one cause of reverse weight shift in a golf swing.
With the head down, your leading shoulder cannot turn under your chin on the backswing. Therefore, the weight stays on the same side as your front foot. On the downswing, the weight moves back to the rear foot. It's impossible to hit a golf ball with any force with your weight moving away from the target.
The head should move with the swing, allowing a full shoulder and weight shift.
