Talking Feeling in balance with Pitch/Chip Shots

While at the practice range, I finally reached some consistency with the short game, which brings me to post this note regarding the "why" I finally made it to this plateau. All the while when transferring my weight to my left side, I was also moving my head left, which made for occasional mishits and erroneous ball direction...probably because I was never really comfortable with the feeling that I was not balanced during both the backswing and the downswing. Now, while shifting to 70% of my weight on my left side, it dawned on me that I should keep the weight of my head back behind the ball, and.....wow what a difference ...consistent impact and consequent ball flight while reaching the distance I was picturing in my mind. The comfort with also feeling in balance on my feet throughout was also there. Some sense of side vision of ball direction/flight was also at the rendez-vous.
I hope being correct with this

Just a bit of warning...We believe the head should be part of the 70%, however, there is more than one way to skin a cat. MAYBE you had the 70% correct, but your head was too far forward...You fixed your mistake THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. Stay in touch.
