WHERE> Is the BOB originating from the PELVIS area, the CERVICAL spine(neck), THORACIC(mid-back),or LUMBAR(low back), or other?
Lagster,

To help with your research please consider the following.

On good days, I don't bob or sway. On bad days, I do both. Arms, hands, clubshaft, upper torso staying connected during takeaway and backswing = no bob. Arms takeaway = bob, but not always. I've had some very good days using right forearm takeaway and I prefer it. However, my body is much more stable with a connected takeaway.
