Feel versus real is a big issue for people. I know I'm still surprised at the difference between the two sometimes. Our subconscious is a powerful force in golf. It has the ability to make adjustments that we don't even realize. Unfortunately, it tends to compensate for flaws instead of actually fixing them. Wouldn't that be nice, if it just fixed the actual flaw? Good points, Nate. Feel versus real is a big issue for people. I know I’m still surprised at the difference between the two sometimes.

The crazy thing is by the time I get to the top the club is in perfect position -- if anything I'll be across the line. I'd planned on re upping with my pro for some lessons after the holidays are over, so maybe if I work on this drill between now and then that'll be one less thing I'll have to work through with him. (Don't worry about taking his business, I've got more than enough to keep him busy. ^_^) And I guess the real moral of the story is (1) what you feel probably isn't what's happening, and (2) how good our subconscious is at correcting flaws .. real or perceived.

That's a good tip! I personally feel like the takeaway is critical to proper golf swing technique. Get it right and you're on your way. Get it wrong and there's minimal chance of good results. Way to go! Mike Hey Mike!
