The feeling of force behind the shaft (aft) as felt by your left hand fingers
Can what the left hand does in the golf swing be compared to what the left hand feels and does with a tennis backhand? If I have the feeling of pulling the aft of the shaft toward the target with the fingertips of the left hand, is that a bad thing? I tend to dive toward the target with my right side, so I'm trying to balance myself my sides in order to make ball first contact. If I concentrate on twist away or #3pp with my right hand, it is fat city. If I concentrate on a straight hand path (not in to out) and left hand pressure, I can make some pretty good contact.
I'm a righty, but play hockey lefty and skateboard goofy footed (push with left leg). Seems as if my body likes to use the left side to apply power.
I have nightmares about fat shots. Maybe all this thinking of the left side helps me actually get on my left side better.
