23 feels found
Through impact, feel like you're squeezing a tube of toothpaste from the bottom up with your trail hand—pressing the "paste" (power) out toward the target. Trail palm pushes and releases.
Imagine a chain attached to the butt of your grip, running up through your lead arm to your lead shoulder. Start the downswing by "pulling the chain" with your lead shoulder—the clubhead follows last.
Feel like your back stays facing the target as long as possible during the downswing. Don't let your chest open until the very last moment. Back to target, then explode through.
In the finish, feel like your trail shoulder is trying to bury itself under your chin. It works DOWN and THROUGH, ending lower than where it started.
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.
Feel your trail shoulder "closing a door" behind you in the downswing—it moves DOWN and AROUND, not out toward the ball. The door closes as you rotate through.
Feel like your feet stay quiet and grounded while your hips do all the talking. Hips are aggressive and rotate fully, but feet stay calm and connected to the ground.
Feel like the clubhead is being thrown out toward right field (for a right-handed golfer) through the hitting zone. The sensation is of swinging OUT rather than around or across.
Imagine a laser extending both ends of the club. Keep the laser down the target line in both the takeaway and downswing.
At finish, trail shoulder should be closer to target than any other body part. Feel body rotating fully so chest faces target and shoulder has 'passed' everything else.
Feel like PUSHING STRAIGHT UP off ground with legs through impact—like jumping without leaving ground. Vertical force extends body through strike.
In downswing, feel pelvis LIFT UP toward sky rather than sliding laterally. If you slide too much, it creates excessive side bend and prevents release.
