20 feels found
Feel your wrists hinge fully by the time your hands reach hip height. The club should already be pointing to the sky before your arms have gone very far. Set it early, then just turn—no more hinge needed.
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.
Hold club as lightly as possible—hands should feel 'dead' and disengaged. Clubhead weight does all the work. If you can't feel clubhead throughout swing, you're too tense.
'Don't overswing. Feel like going back three-quarters instead of full turn, then really fire from there.'
Imagine a dandelion stem right under ball. Task is to WHIP through that stem with low-strain, high-velocity slashing motion toward target. Ball is just the 'precise intersection' on the way to your real target.
Visualize Inbee Park's swing: 'So slow and deliberate.' Focus on having 'the slowest backswing possible.' Use 1-2 cadence: 'One' to top, 'Two' through ball.
Through impact into finish, feel like pushing belt buckle UP toward target while extending arms. Feel like pushing off ground and standing tall into complete finish.
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.
Keep right foot planted on ground from start to finish, or at least through impact. Slows swing just enough while helping maintain address posture.
Focus only on moving club away slowly and smoothly for first two feet of takeaway. 'Just take it away slow. Just get that club moving.' Once you pass first two feet, trust millions of practice balls will take over.
Stand taller at setup—less bend from the hips, more upright posture. Feel like your chest is proud and your arms hang naturally. You're an athlete ready to move, not hunched over the ball.
Imagine your swing is moving through thick honey—no sudden movements, no jerks. Everything flows at the same smooth speed. Back smooth, through smooth. The transition is invisible, not a change of direction but a continuous pour.
