106 feels found
Imagine hitting a topspin forehand in tennis. Feel the club traveling from low-to-high and inside-to-out through impact—like brushing up the back of the ball with your trail hand.
Stand taller at setup—less bend from the hips, more upright posture. Feel like your chest is proud and your arms hang naturally. You're an athlete ready to move, not hunched over the 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.
'Feeling chest turn into lead leg, ahead of club, helps me compress the ball.' Feel chest over lead leg while turning.
Feel HIPS AND SHOULDERS rotating significantly BEFORE arms fold in backswing. By hands at hip height, shoulders should already be turned 70+ degrees.
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 your trail forearm rotating over your lead forearm through impact—like wiping a window clean with your palm. The "wiping" motion squares and closes the face naturally.
Feel like swinging at 80% of maximum effort while generating 100% power. Sensation should be smooth, controlled, effortless—no grunting, no strain.
As you take the club back, feel your lead arm staying on the same tilted plane as your shoulders. If your shoulders tilt, your arm matches. Picture a rod connecting your hands to your shoulder line—they move as one tilted unit, never lifting above or dropping below.
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.
On backswing, feel right elbow sliding along side like running along track on ribs while letting right wrist hinge softly. Keeps clubhead light and under control.
