20 feels found
As you start the downswing, feel like you're sitting your weight into your lead heel—like sitting onto a barstool positioned under your left butt cheek. Ground yourself before unwinding.
At two checkpoints—shaft parallel on the backswing and shaft parallel on the follow-through—feel the clubface toe pointing straight up to the sky. Like the club is giving a thumbs-up at both positions.
Feel HIPS AND SHOULDERS rotating significantly BEFORE arms fold in backswing. By hands at hip height, shoulders should already be turned 70+ degrees.
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.
As you take the club back, feel your lead arm staying on the same tilted plane as your shoulders. If your shoulders tilt, your arm matches. Picture a rod connecting your hands to your shoulder line—they move as one tilted unit, never lifting above or dropping below.
Feel the club swinging around your body on a tilted circle—not lifting straight up and chopping down. Like your arms are tracing a hula hoop that's tilted to match your spine. More rotary, less vertical.
Imagine your trail elbow is lightly glued to your rib cage from address to follow-through. It never drifts away from your side—it slides along your torso like it's on a track. On the backswing it folds against you; on the downswing it leads back down brushing your shirt.
Feel the weight of your arms (~40 pounds combined) hanging from soft shoulders. Let this weight swing like a sledgehammer or pendulum—back and through. Don't tug on club; SWING the mass.
