Going with Feelings

After learning all the basics of the "Golf Pro System", one needs to supplant it by learning the feeling of the golf swing.  By feeling I mean not the mental side but the emotion side.  The Golf Pro System teaches the basics for the mind but this section will try to teach the basics of golf feel.

Tacky Takeaway

Tacky takeaway is the way a golfer feels the first moments of the golf swing.  It starts from the waggle up to the top of the back swing.  After the waggle, the club head is rested on the ground for a split second. From there, the right hand middle fingers flips the club head up while the left shoulder takes over to the top.  It is a one fluid motion, a tacky feeling where the club head is raised by the right hand fingers and somewhere along the way, the left shoulder takes over in one fluid motion and hurls the club head to the top.  One cannot say when the hand-off from right to left is made; one just feels it.

The Loosey Goosey Upper Torso

Everything connected to the spine that one can described as the upper torso of the body must be connected to  the lower body like they are independent a just connected by ball bearings at the spine.  The lower body can just hurl it but it cannot stop it from centrifugally finishing the swing.
