I promise this is a feel question.

I promise this is a feel question... Much as a clock rotates continuously in a clockwise motion (duh), we want to feel that the clockwise pressure movement in our right foot is continuous, correct? For example, while learning this we want the pressure moving at a continuous pace. That is, it is at least a constant pace and certainly wouldn’t pause - as I find myself having a tendency to do (coincidentally while waiting for my manipulating arms to move clockwise). Yet, when I feel that my foot pressure rotates clockwise without a pause my hands/club naturally shallow. This is a good thing. Now to take that continuous motion feeling further, after I’ve done a dozen or so reps with that feeling I find myself unconsciously feeling I speed up the pace of the jumping off the merry-go-round. And by speed up I mean that I feel my feet, knees, and hips are speeding up not the hands or arms - although they do speed up as a result but not through conscious action. Is this that elusive feeling other GPs are getting or is this increase in the pace of clockwise rotation something to avoid feeling? Now that I proofread that I realize it may read that I’m an idiot. Of course acceleration of the club is a good thing! But, since I’m making this leap to focus solely on feel a bit of reassurance goes a long way to my delicate golf brain. Thanks for putting up with me and indulging me. Jim

Oh Jim, you are waaaayyy overthinking all of this! Let me put it to you another way. Craig M and I were talking about this the other night and he said something which lead me to coin the phrase: "Play drunk, sober."
