Rotary instructors how much head movement is too much?

Hi Rotary instructors how much head movement is too much? I got a lot of head movement to the right but I think it stops roughly where it was and I’m getting really good smash factor. My whole lower body moves totally different to how it was once and I no longer use hand speed to generate power however my strike is getting unreal and especially with the clubs up to 7 iron I need to practice with the longer clubs more. Maybe I’m focusing too much on putting weight on the right side but it feels so fluid and right to bounce one way and then the other a really loose body feeling it worked great today this is a 7 iron with a 1.32 smash factor it feels natural. I guess the much improved lower body movement has affected the head movement also after googling apparently having my chin down can cause problems too however this I have fixed by using another pair of glasses with wider rims and yes it has helped although I only tried it quickly last night.

Hello Ronald. Unfortunately, you are correct about the head movement. The body/head move too far away from the target and need excessive motion back to rebound. I would dial the movement off the ball down. Also, the arms get pretty floppy. You need to focus on maintaining the width with the trail arm and not letting the wrists collapse as they have too much angle at the top of the backswing. Some of my students had to change glasses due to trying to find the ball and opting for more of a bifocal golf glass.
