It is a common problem and could be why you are having inconsistent contact. Having a good grip, shoulder turn, straight firm left arm, good weight shift, and staying down through impact with eyes on the ball is 99% of the golf swing.

Keeping your eye on the ball is the biggest myth in the golf swing, but your point is actually correct, IMO.
What you need to do is maintain your spine angle. When people say "he came out of that shot", what it really means is that the player lost the angle formed by their hips, not that they looked up. The technical term for it is early extension.
In actuality, I've had a productive week of practice despite not practicing much. I did so my noticing that my left arm was breaking down way too much, leading to really inconsistent contact. Shortening my back swing, making sure that my left arm stayed straight and that my right arm didn't fold excessively appears to have straightened me out.
