26 feels found
Focus on fundamentals, then feel hands dropping into trail pants pocket as you rotate through. Don't manipulate—just drop hands to pocket and rotate.
At top of backswing, imagine pants zipper pointing at 4:30 (target at 12:00). First move down: feel zipper moving toward 10:30—diagonally away from ball. Bump tailbone further back along that diagonal.
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 top of swing, feel like tipping the club slightly outward while pulling handle down. Handle comes down while clubhead works out, away from you. Like turning a steering wheel before reaching the corner.
At address, rotate both hands slightly clockwise on the grip (for right-handers) until you see 3 knuckles on your lead hand. Feel like your knuckles are pointing more toward the sky than at the target. The Vs formed by thumbs and forefingers point toward your trail shoulder.
Make what feels like an 'all arms' backswing—just set wrists and lift without consciously turning. From the top, try to cast the club as quickly as possible. Don't restrict body turn; simply don't think about turning.
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.
During takeaway, feel hands brushing close to right thigh (staying inside) while clubhead moves further away (outside). Butt end moves ~9 inches while clubhead moves up to 36 inches.
Visualize invisible wall running vertically from ball position to sky. Feel head STAYS BEHIND this wall throughout driver swing—never crossing in front.
Feel like you're skipping a flat stone across a lake. Get your trail side lower than lead side; trail elbow leads wrist, which leads fingers in a sidearm throwing motion. The movement starts from the ground up.
On takeaway, allow eyes to track and follow clubhead as it moves back. Don't force head still—let it turn with club naturally. Adds side bend earlier.
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.
