106 feels found
As you start backswing, feel right back pocket moving away from target. Loads everything into right hip. Right hip rises slightly while turning behind you, not sliding laterally.
Hum or imagine 'The Blue Danube' waltz (1-2-3) as you swing. Backswing gets counts 1-2-3, downswing gets count 4. Feel like graceful dance with flowing rhythm.
Feel like the clubhead is being thrown out toward right field (for a right-handed golfer) through the hitting zone. The sensation is of swinging OUT rather than around or across.
Feel chest pointing DOWN at ball through impact. Don't let chest rise until AFTER you've struck ball. Sternum covers ball at impact.
For shot shaping, focus on where hands finish relative to ears: hands lower = draw; around ear-line = normal fade; hands higher = bigger fade.
Instead of feeling shoulders turn level, feel LEAD SHOULDER moving DOWN toward ball in backswing, TRAIL SHOULDER moving down in downswing. Tilted 'rocking' motion, not flat 'spinning.'
Grip putter in FINGERS, not palms. Feel shaft in lifeline of left hand for control, but make sure fingers contact grip. Forget palms—fingers create feel.
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.'
Feel like your back stays facing the target as long as possible during the downswing. Don't let your chest open until the very last moment. Back to target, then explode through.
Feel the weight of your arms (~40 pounds combined) hanging from soft shoulders. Let this weight swing like a sledgehammer or pendulum—back and through. Don't tug on club; SWING the mass.
