When I made the comment I was thinking you don’t feel the weight of the club at the top of the back swing when you coil up tight with the shoulder muscles and your arms are tension free… at least I don’t. it’s when you uncoil your upper body that you feel the weight of the club swinging freely around your torso. Your’re right that the tip has nothing to do with the coil.
I found this link in a comment you made to another student and in another video of yours.
This is perfect! It’s right up the alley with the recent links you been helping me on full extension.
Great video. When I am doing my practice swings, my best ones have that unmistakeable feel of centrifugal force pulling the club away from me – literally like it is trying to take it away from me. It is important that I don’t try to counter that pulling force with subconsciously yanking back. It’s the old axiom of ceding control to the club.

PeterEspositoPaul,
Doesn’t the upper body coil have to be tight to load up in order to get torque and speed in the down swing?

Paul WilsonPeter,
Yes it does. Why would you think otherwise.

This tip has nothing to do with the coil.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yes you’re not going to feel he weight really at the top. This is down and through as the weight of the swinging mass pulls the arms out.

Very good. This is the feeling.
Let lose control to gain control.
