26 feels found
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.
Feel backswing go UP steeply (like Nicklaus), then downswing SHALLOW dramatically. Shaft drops from steep position so by halfway down it's parallel to address plane. Like a baseball bat held high, then shallowed to strike.
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.
Three-part transition: (1) BUMP—small lateral hip shift toward target, (2) DUMP—right shoulder drops down toward ball, elbow leads down, (3) TURN—body unwinds. Feel right shoulder working out toward 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.
Feel hips bump about 3 inches toward target at start of downswing. Think of pressing lead hip into imaginary wall.
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.
Feel trail elbow drops down and touches trail hip as you start downswing. Elbow slots against your side.
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.
At top of backswing, consciously PAUSE for one full second before initiating downswing. After pause, swing down as hard as you want. Practice until pause feels natural.
Trace a figure eight with the clubhead. Take the club back UP and OUTSIDE, then loop it UNDER and INSIDE on the downswing. Think 'up, around, and under.'
Three sequential feels: (1) SHIFT—pelvis shifts laterally toward target first, (2) TUCK—trail elbow tucks down into side like 'low five,' (3) TURN—lead elbow rotates toward lead hip to square face.
