I've been playing around, and I realized I can't feel my body coiling or having any resistance at all. I normally just have to swing with my arms, which I know isn't a good thing. But I've tried taking the club lower to the ground, winding up more, but I'm not sure what I'm doing? I can't feel anything on my right leg, and when people have to release their left leg when they are older, I don't even feel the need to move my legs at all, but in my backswing I just fall to the right. Should I just wind up in the position on setup? Or should I wind into my right leg? I don't know what to do?

I need tips please!

Make sure your weight doesn't get on the outside of your right foot on the backswing. Weight should stay on the INSIDE of your right foot on the backswing.

You should be able to feel the inside of both of your thighs coiling(the muscles stretching). If not you might have too much hip rotation on the backswing. Is your right foot perpendicular to the target? You should be able to feel your back muscles coiling too. If you can't feel that you're just not getting enough shoulder turn.

This is a really good training video. It gives you exactly the feeling you want when making a golf shot.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
