Back Swing Wind Up

Ross,
Where do you generally feel the end of the coil or windup in the backswing? Is it the inside of the back leg or foor? Or is it the hips? Obliques?

I ask this because I want to be sure that I am getting a full windup. I understand that too much backswing can be a bad thing but a good coil may make starting the downswing more efficient.

I would say in the shoulders. There is resistance in the areas you mentioned, but the shoulders “start” and wind from top down. This way whether you’re hitting 20 yds. or 300 yds. it feels the same. I’d say it is just like a spring. If you remember pinball machines, as you pulled the lever out to strike the pinball, you could feel more and more resistance and you’d stop and let go when you had the amount needed for the job.
