106 feels found
At address, let your arms hang straight down from your shoulders like dead weight—no reaching out for the ball. The club should be directly under your shoulder sockets. If you let go, your hands would drop straight down, not swing forward.
Feel like your weight is already "stacked" over your lead leg at address and stays there. Sense pressure in your lead hip and thigh before you even start the swing.
When going for maximum distance, only thought: hit ball with right hip. Get lower body as open and cleared as possible at impact.
Let right elbow fly HIGH and LOOSE at top of backswing—like Jack Nicklaus. Don't pin it tight to rib cage. Feel like cocking arm to throw football or baseball.
At address, imagine triangle formed by shoulders and hands. For first few feet of backswing, triangle moves away from ball as single unit—no independent hand action. Chest 'drags' arms back.
Feel like you're brushing the grass with the clubhead moving FORWARD toward the target—not down into the ground. A long, shallow brush, not a chop.
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.
Feel like the logo on the back of your glove is leading toward the target through impact. The back of your lead hand stays facing the target as long as possible.
Putting should feel as natural and quick as signing your name—automatic and subconscious. Try to duplicate signature slowly and you'll mess up. Same with putting.
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.
In the finish, feel like your trail shoulder is trying to bury itself under your chin. It works DOWN and THROUGH, ending lower than where it started.
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.
