90 feels found
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.
Through impact into finish, feel like pushing belt buckle UP toward target while extending arms. Feel like pushing off ground and standing tall into complete finish.
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 EYES coming out of shot—like David Duval or Annika. Hands stay passive while chest and hips open aggressively to square clubface.
At top, resist urge to PULL DOWN on handle. Feel hands stay up and wide while pelvis rotation causes club to shallow on its own. 'Leave hands up and turn—club drops down as long as you keep rotating.'
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 start of downswing, squat down slightly as force runs through legs into ground. Feet should twist and grip. 'That feeling of them twisting—that's torque.'
Stand UP (taller) at address with rounded upper spine. In transition, squat DOWN into ball. Then push UP and extend through impact. 'For maximum speed and control, go up, down, up.'
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.
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.
At top of swing, feel like tipping the club slightly outward while pulling handle down. Handle comes down while clubhead works out, away from you. Like turning a steering wheel before reaching the corner.
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.
