Is your Head on straight?

When you look in a mirror do you notice that one shoulder is higher than the other, that one ear is lower than the other, that one hair line is not quite level with the other...well is your head on straight?

Of course your head is on straight, but why are you able to see these variations in the mirror. That is your body trying to make you see the world on a level plain. In order for your brain to function and "enjoy" being in your head it needs to get information from your eyes and put them in a level field to tell your body what to do next. Well if you are laking motion in the upper part of your neck, your nervous system can become less than fully optimized, in turn it starts sending compromised signals to your body to adapt, which often leads to a domino effect. That adaption is what makes it appear like your head is not on straight.

Does it make a difference in your golf swing?

YES!!!!!

1. Perceiving the next shot: If your "head is not on straight" or compromised with nervous system optimization the message from your brain to your swing can be alter. Your brain says you need to swing your hybrid with this club head speed in order to land on the back end of the green to sit near today's pin placement. Your body receives the message swing the club and hope it gets off the ground...well not that extreme but you get the point.


2. Perfect angles and arcs: Your body and golf can be thought of in angles and arcs. If your eyes want to be on a level field they will get to 90/90 from the horizon. Your shoulders, hips, legs, and feet may then sit at varying angles for that to occur. When you pull your arms back for a swing it should be in a perfect arc but if the angles from your body are altered your swing must adapt. Now if you are able to optimize nervous system function and get your head on straight, it allows your body to communicate properly and restore itself.

So is your head on straight?
