Head and neck interference

[needham]

so what did we cross-eyed players need to do.

I write left handed, play golf right handed, and have a right dominate Eye

Nothing...

Generally, I'll be your backswing turn is limited by your vision and dominant eye. That doesn't mean you can't play great golf, it just means you may not maximize on your bodies power due to the limiting factor.

I'd love to check the Tour Players to see if they are cross dominant?? That would be cool.

I had a lesson yesterday with a fit and flexible 20 y/o. On his first swing I noticed a jack'd up backswing and sure enough, he was right eye/right hand. He could still compress it, but he didn't make a "Tour" quality backswing pivot.

Since he was an intermediate player, I didn't even go into the eye "thing" with him and generally don't with most students.

Aside from the eyes, is their consensus that rotating the head early provides for a greater range of motion in the down swing pivot?

I think so, but believe you can't leave the eyes discussion out of it..it all ties into the very complex human system.

So, if I were to teach a blind person, would I include both a backswing and downswing head rotation to provide the pivot benefits without worrying about seeing the ball or would that rotation make it more difficult to maintain spine angle?

Close your eyes and try it, video it, see what results you get.

Good question...I have no clue.

Not accurate..have you ever been blind for an extended period of time??

Actually yes.

Actually yes.

I stand corrected..Do tell/share your experience..

Why there's people with a lot worse problems and i'm ok now. Just an accident at work, i can tell you that not having your sight for awhile will heighten your sense of feel and hearing, enough said.

Do you think your feel/hearing to be permanently enhanced? Or do you just rely more on whatever senses you have (remaining) because you have to?

The only blind golfer I've come in contact with could flush a golf ball (with the help of his coach/Dad) and his head swiveled both directions...

I saw him 30 years ago in Toronto. George Knudson was his teacher and George didn't make a comment about his "odd" head swivel. He was the only teacher I knew that didn't tell a student to keep his head still (back in the day).

Just for the period that it took to recover, When one of our senses is taken you have to use the others to compensate for the loss.
