Feeling clubhead and shaft load/unload

[cnosil]

I hear about being able to feel the shaft load and unload during the swing and being and to feel the clubhead and knowing where the face is pointing.

 

I honestly have no idea how to do these things. I know feel is a subjective thing but how can you tell if a shaft is loading and unloading properly for you? What does feeling the clubhead really mean? And I hear people say where your hands face matches where the club face points.

 

With a club swinging at 80+ MPH, how do you do this? Am I really missing out on something that could benefit my game or is there something I should be doing to learn this?

I think you're missing out on the enjoyment of the game and worrying too much about data. I used to be that way. It's all a bunch of noise quite frankly... IMHO.

Stop worry about if you are loading a club/shaft. Who gives a flip? Are you hitting good shots mostly? Do your clubs fell good?

 Free your mind and enjoy playing golf.

I actually do enjoy the game and don't get hung up on this. More of a question in can anyone actually do this?

 

However it would be nice to know where the club face was pointing; it would make it a whole lot easier to hit my desired shot.

Check where your thumbs are pointing at address in relation to the face.  Going to be the same through the swing so just try to visualize where your thumbs are pointing at any given point.
