Driver Feels

Keep ankles soft and limber throughout swing rather than locked. Feel weight shifting into instep of trail foot on backswing, then driving through on downswing.

For fairway woods from ground, focus on making sure 'bottom of swing is where ball is.' Set up like driver but think 'level sweep'—bottom out exactly at ball position.

When going for maximum distance, only thought: hit ball with right hip. Get lower body as open and cleared as possible at impact.

Keep right foot planted on ground from start to finish, or at least through impact. Slows swing just enough while helping maintain address posture.

Feel club 'drops behind' in transition, then fire/extend trail arm down target line through ball. Full extension of trail arm post-impact. For driver and woods only.

Feel like PUSHING STRAIGHT UP off ground with legs through impact—like jumping without leaving ground. Vertical force extends body through strike.

Feel spine TILTED SLIGHTLY AWAY from target at address, maintain this through swing. At impact, feel tilted away even MORE (~20 degrees). Upper body stays 'behind' ball while lower body fires through.

Visualize invisible wall running vertically from ball position to sky. Feel head STAYS BEHIND this wall throughout driver swing—never crossing in front.

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.

In boxing, hook comes across horizontally; uppercut comes up from below. Feel trail arm swinging like throwing UPPERCUT—up and through rather than around. Creates in-to-out path.

At start of downswing, squat down slightly as force runs through legs into ground. Feet should twist and grip. 'That feeling of them twisting—that's torque.'
