Don't copy a pro's stated feel from tutorials

When a pro describes what a swing feels like, they are often not doing what they say - it is just what they feel, so be careful with those tutorials. A player may feel like releasing the club yet not be doing so; a right-hander who copies that literally, with the ball played far forward and truly releasing it, sends the shot far left. Treat feel-based pro tutorials with caution.
