Are you allowing your cervical spine (neck) to rotate freely through impact?

Trying to 'keep your head down' past impact forces your cervical spine into extreme flexion. As biomechanists have proven, cervical flexion acts as a physical brake on the thoracic spine (your upper back and chest).

If your chest stops rotating, the clubhead passes your hands, forcing a premature wrist cast. This 'casting' motion lengthens the radius of your swing too early, crashing the sole of the iron into the ground behind the ball.

Truth: Master instructors teach cervical release. As your right shoulder drives down and through impact, your head must be allowed to swivel naturally toward the target. This unfreezes the thoracic spine, allowing the chest to rotate fully through the shot without restricting momentum.

By allowing your head to release naturally with your chest, your body rotates fully through the shot to capture effortless, penetrating distance—replacing the humiliation of a chunked 8-iron with the pure, crisp sound of a flushed strike.
