Thin Shots Feels

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 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.

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.

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.

Imagine club is a giant match and ball is matchbox. To light a match, strike at descending, forward-leaning angle—not lift up. Feel club moving through with shaft leaning forward.

Feel your lead shoulder staying down and resisting the urge to lift through impact. It stays low while your hips and chest rotate through—like your shoulder is pinned down by an invisible hand until well after the ball is gone.

'Feeling chest turn into lead leg, ahead of club, helps me compress the ball.' Feel chest over lead leg while turning.

Feel hips bump about 3 inches toward target at start of downswing. Think of pressing lead hip into imaginary wall.

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 chest pointing DOWN at ball through impact. Don't let chest rise until AFTER you've struck ball. Sternum covers ball at impact.
