A few days ago I think I figured out how to keep my head still whilst rotating my torso for backstoke... For me I imagined a counter-force in my neck to the opposite direction my torso was rotating. The result felt like a perfectly still head whilst the torso turned on it's axis. Before this my neck followed my torso and I couldn't figure out how to keep my head still. I'd be interested on your thoughts on how you achieve a still head in backstroke. Thanks

Like all the strokes, you’ve got to keep the muscles of your “deep core” engaged. It’ll help stabilize your hips and shoulders and your head.
