Hold the transition feel, then hit within seconds

A rehearsal drill for grooving the downswing move: get to the top, shift across and bring the trail side in until you can't get your fingers through, then physically hold that static position for a few seconds to feel it. Because Craig Hanson says you retain roughly 70% of a movement's feel if you repeat it within a few seconds, don't wait too long afterward - wind it up and hit a shot right away.
