Find Your Feel

Focus on fundamentals, then feel hands dropping into trail pants pocket as you rotate through. Don't manipulate—just drop hands to pocket and rotate.

Feel hands and belly button (core) move together as if one throughout swing. From halfway back to halfway through, imaginary line from butt of club should point at belly button.

Feel that when hands reach RIGHT THIGH in downswing, shaft is still PARALLEL TO GROUND—not released. Pause here in practice to ingrain.

At top of backswing, imagine pants zipper pointing at 4:30 (target at 12:00). First move down: feel zipper moving toward 10:30—diagonally away from ball. Bump tailbone further back along that diagonal.

Feel your shoulders rotating on the same angle as your spine tilt—not level to the ground, not overly steep. If your spine is tilted 30 degrees at address, your shoulders turn on that same 30-degree plane. They stay "parallel" to your spine throughout the backswing.
