33 feels found
'Feeling chest turn into lead leg, ahead of club, helps me compress the ball.' Feel chest over lead leg while turning.
Stand UP (taller) at address with rounded upper spine. In transition, squat DOWN into ball. Then push UP and extend through impact. 'For maximum speed and control, go up, down, up.'
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.
Feel like 'gathering the sword' at top—collecting weight and momentum. Then feel release happening TOWARD target, not AT ball. Release happens after the ball position.
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.
Visualize golf ball 6 FEET IN FRONT of the one you're hitting. Feel like releasing club—letting toe turn over—at THAT ball. The actual ball 'just gets in the way.'
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 chest pointing DOWN at ball through impact. Don't let chest rise until AFTER you've struck ball. Sternum covers ball at impact.
For shot shaping, focus on where hands finish relative to ears: hands lower = draw; around ear-line = normal fade; hands higher = bigger fade.
