106 feels found
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.
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.
Imagine you're standing inside a barrel that touches your hips. Your job is to rotate your body without bumping the sides—pure rotation with no lateral slide. Feel your belt buckle turn toward the target while staying centered.
Imagine your spine is the center pole of a carousel. Everything rotates around that fixed pole—it doesn't tilt, sway, or move off center. Your shoulders, arms, and club are the horses spinning around that stable axis. The pole stays perfectly still while everything else turns.
At finish, trail shoulder should be closer to target than any other body part. Feel body rotating fully so chest faces target and shoulder has 'passed' everything else.
Focus on turning shoulders to initiate chipping motion. Even though you're breaking wrists and getting hands ahead, first move is shoulder turn.
During takeaway, feel hands brushing close to right thigh (staying inside) while clubhead moves further away (outside). Butt end moves ~9 inches while clubhead moves up to 36 inches.
Feel your head perfectly still and quiet while everything else moves around it. Body turns, arms swing, hips rotate—but the head floats in place like it's suspended by a string from above.
When in 'blackout,' have zero thoughts about setup or stroke. All you see is the arc of a putt with enhanced clarity—the gentle swoop. Your stroke is simply a reaction to make that path come alive.
Feel like your feet stay quiet and grounded while your hips do all the talking. Hips are aggressive and rotate fully, but feet stay calm and connected to the ground.
Feel chest 'pointed ahead of ball at impact'—outpacing club on downswing. Chest rotates through faster than arms/club.
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.
