31 feels found
Through and after impact, feel like your lead arm is punching straight up toward the sky—extending fully with the back of your hand facing up. Full extension, not a held-off block.
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.
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.
Feel your trail forearm rotating over your lead forearm through impact—like wiping a window clean with your palm. The "wiping" motion squares and closes the face naturally.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 chest pointing DOWN at ball through impact. Don't let chest rise until AFTER you've struck ball. Sternum covers ball at impact.
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.
Instead of swinging way out to right, feel club exit LEFT and LOW after impact at ~45-degree angle. Club should finish low and left, not high and right.
