Why head position mattersWatch it in action

Why head position matters

A quiet head. Predictable contact.

Head position is critical in the golf swing, for golfers of every level.

It is what top instructors, tour professionals and everyday amateurs all work on, and for good reason. Excessive head movement is both a cause of swing faults and a result of them. Slide, sway, lift or dip, and the low point of your swing moves with you.

Learning to keep your head level is the key to consistent, predictable contact. The challenge is that you can't feel a small slide or lift in your head. Level Head lets you see it.

Address through the backswing. The red box stays put in every frame, and the head stays inside it. That is what a level head looks like.

  • It can cause faults

    When your head slides or lifts, your low point and club path move with it. The result is thin, fat and wayward contact.

  • It can be a result

    Problems elsewhere in the swing often show up first as head movement, so a moving head is a clue to what needs fixing.

  • It can be trained

    Once you can see it, you can change it. A quiet ball means a quiet head, and a quiet head gives the rest of your swing a steady base.

How Level Head shows you

  1. Attach it

    Clip the reel to your cap brim with the magnetic ball-marker clip.

  2. Set the length

    Pull the cord until the ball hangs about 6 to 10 inches below the brim.

  3. Swing and watch

    If the ball swings away from center, your head moved. A quiet ball means a quiet head.

Watch Level Head in a real swing.

Three swings with Level Head clipped to the cap: an iron, a chip and a driver. The ball hangs in your line of sight, so any head movement shows up the moment it happens.

Five drills for Level Head

Three simple ways to practice, plus two for the days you can't get to a range.

Center Hold Swings

Train a quieter head through the swing.

  • 8 minutes
  • 3 sets of 10 swings
  • Garage, backyard, range or hotel room
  1. Pull the cord until the ball hangs about 6 to 10 inches below the brim, then settle into your normal address.
  2. Pick a spot on your shirt, like a button, that lines up with the ball at rest. That spot is your center.
  3. Make slow, half-speed swings. Keep the ball close to that spot as you turn back and through.
  4. After ten slow swings, build to a practice-speed swing. Watch the ball in your peripheral vision, or film it.

Goal: Ten swings where the ball stays near its starting spot. If it swings far away, your head slid or lifted.

Quiet-Head Chips

Build control and better low-point awareness.

  • 10 minutes
  • 20 chips
  • Backyard or range
  1. Pick a target 15 to 25 feet away. A towel works. Take your normal chipping stance with the ball hanging below the brim.
  2. Hit a chip and keep the Level Head ball quiet through impact.
  3. Hold your finish until your chip lands. If the ball moves, your head moved.
  4. Score a point when the chip lands within three feet of the target and the ball stayed quiet.

Goal: Six points out of ten, then change the club or move the target and go again.

Start-Line Putts

Improve stability and face control on the greens.

  • 10 minutes
  • 20 putts
  • Backyard, range or hotel room (no ball)
  1. Draw a line on a ball with a marker. Set it about four feet from the hole, or from a coin if you are indoors.
  2. Hang the Level Head ball below the brim and settle over the putt.
  3. Point the line at your target and make your stroke without moving the ball.
  4. Hold your finish until the putt stops. Score a point only when it starts on your line and the ball stayed quiet.

Goal: Ten points in a row from four feet. Then step back to six.

Record and Review

Film your swing so the ball's movement is easy to see. This is how the founder first spotted what his head was doing.

  • 10 minutes
  • 5 swings
  • Anywhere with room to swing
  1. Prop your phone at chest height, facing you, with your whole body in frame.
  2. Hit record and make five swings at practice speed with Level Head on your cap.
  3. Play the clip back in slow motion and watch where the ball goes.
  4. Write down the one thing you noticed, fix only that, and film again.

Goal: One clear thing to work on and a clip to compare against after your next session.

Mirror Check

Check your setup in a mirror before you swing. Good for hotel rooms and rainy days.

  • 5 minutes
  • 10 slow rehearsals
  • Hotel room or home
  1. Stand in front of a full-length mirror with plenty of clear space around you.
  2. Hang the ball below the brim and set up as if you were going to hit a shot.
  3. Make slow-motion rehearsal swings or putting strokes. Keep the club well clear of furniture and lights.
  4. Watch the ball's reflection and notice where it drifts.

Goal: The ball stays close to its starting spot through ten slow rehearsals.

Start with slow swings and a clear area. Practice results vary.

Add Strike Point.

Level Head shows what your head does. Strike Point training discs show what your club does. Practice them together in a garage corner.

Level Head questions

How long should the cord be?

Pull the cord until the ball hangs about 6 to 10 inches below the brim. Start near the middle, then adjust so you can see the ball without staring at it.

How do I attach it?

The reel attaches to the brim of your cap with the magnetic ball-marker clip. The clip also works as a ball marker on the green.

Does it work for chipping and putting?

Yes. It shows head movement in any stroke. Try the Quiet-Head Chips and Start-Line Putts drills.

Is it safe to swing with?

Start with slow, half-speed swings so you can see where the ball hangs and moves. Keep the cord clear of your club's path, and stop if anything feels off.

What's in the box?

A Level Head trainer with a retractable reel, a weighted ball, and a magnetic hat clip that doubles as a ball marker.

Does it work for left-handed and right-handed golfers?

Yes. It clips to the center of your cap brim, so it works the same either way.
