106 feels found
'Don't overswing. Feel like going back three-quarters instead of full turn, then really fire from there.'
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.
Through impact, feel EYES coming out of shot—like David Duval or Annika. Hands stay passive while chest and hips open aggressively to square clubface.
Visualize invisible wall running vertically from ball position to sky. Feel head STAYS BEHIND this wall throughout driver swing—never crossing in front.
Imagine a laser extending both ends of the club. Keep the laser down the target line in both the takeaway and downswing.
Feel like you're skipping a flat stone across a lake. Get your trail side lower than lead side; trail elbow leads wrist, which leads fingers in a sidearm throwing motion. The movement starts from the ground up.
On takeaway, allow eyes to track and follow clubhead as it moves back. Don't force head still—let it turn with club naturally. Adds side bend earlier.
Through impact, feel like you're squeezing a tube of toothpaste from the bottom up with your trail hand—pressing the "paste" (power) out toward the target. Trail palm pushes and releases.
In downswing, feel pelvis LIFT UP toward sky rather than sliding laterally. If you slide too much, it creates excessive side bend and prevents release.
At the top of the backswing, imagine your lead wrist gripping a motorcycle throttle. Twist the knuckles counter-clockwise (toward ground) as if 'revving' in reverse—moving from cupped to bowed. Feel like you're 'screwing in a lightbulb' with your lead hand.
Feel like your lead arm is doing all the work—pulling the club down and through like you're ringing a bell or starting a lawn mower. The trail arm just goes along for the ride. Lead arm pulls, trail arm is a passenger.
Through and after impact, feel like your lead arm is punching straight up toward the sky—extending fully with the back of your hand facing up. Full extension, not a held-off block.
