Imagine you're standing inside a barrel that touches your hips. Your job is to rotate your body without bumping the sides—pure rotation with no lateral slide. Feel your belt buckle turn toward the target while staying centered.
Feel like the logo on the back of your glove is leading toward the target through impact. The back of your lead hand stays facing the target as long as possible.
Through impact, feel like you're dragging a heavy, wet mop across the floor toward the target. The handle leads, the mop head trails. Sense the "drag" of the clubhead behind your hands.
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 you're brushing the grass with the clubhead moving FORWARD toward the target—not down into the ground. A long, shallow brush, not a chop.
Feel hips bump about 3 inches toward target at start of downswing. Think of pressing lead hip into imaginary wall.
Feel like your weight is already "stacked" over your lead leg at address and stays there. Sense pressure in your lead hip and thigh before you even start the swing.
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.
'Feeling chest turn into lead leg, ahead of club, helps me compress the ball.' Feel chest over lead leg while turning.
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.
Instead of feeling shoulders turn level, feel LEAD SHOULDER moving DOWN toward ball in backswing, TRAIL SHOULDER moving down in downswing. Tilted 'rocking' motion, not flat 'spinning.'
