24 feels found
Feel like your back stays facing the target as long as possible during the downswing. Don't let your chest open until the very last moment. Back to target, then explode through.
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 your trail shoulder "closing a door" behind you in the downswing—it moves DOWN and AROUND, not out toward the ball. The door closes as you rotate through.
As you start the downswing, feel like you're sitting your weight into your lead heel—like sitting onto a barstool positioned under your left butt cheek. Ground yourself before unwinding.
Feel hips bump about 3 inches toward target at start of downswing. Think of pressing lead hip into imaginary wall.
Feel trail elbow drops down and touches trail hip as you start downswing. Elbow slots against your side.
From top of backswing, feel ARMS drop straight down before body rotates. Keep back to target as arms fall. Chest still faces behind ball as arms lower.
At start of downswing, feel lead arm moving AWAY from lead shoulder. Create separation between arm and torso.
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.
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.
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.
Feel that when hands reach RIGHT THIGH in downswing, shaft is still PARALLEL TO GROUND—not released. Pause here in practice to ingrain.
