Hard to find good info as this as searches have a lot of info about the head.
I've always struggled with swinging very flat in the backswing and suffering a boatload of follow-on problems.
It's been a huge problem over the years so that's why I'm posting about a solution I think I've found.
One thing I've never changed until recently is the feeling of where my head is - I always, as I thought I ought to do, kept my chin up off my chest and tried to let me shoulder get in under my chin in the backswing.
I have been experimenting with letting the arm swing over my chin and also with letting my head be in a more natural position with the eyes looking down at the ball.
I think Jack Nicklaus had a lot of advice to this effect - about keeping the chin up off the chest and making the shoulder go in under the chin. He also made a big move with his chin in the backswing at times.
But having looked closely, it doesn't seem to be happening at all with good players.
