More distance.
Better accuracy.
A sense of free-wheeling with effortless power.
I don't have to think about anything else.

Not sure why this one thing delivers so many benefits, but it does. Maybe this will help someone else, too.
RWH,

Congrats on the better ballstriking!

My only thought is - feel is usually not real. If possible, video your swing to verify what the difference is. You may feel one thing but doing a entirely different movement.

Keep us posted on what you find (assuming you have a video camera).

If he is a much better ballstriker, why go the extents of further analysis with video? I would may be do a video, jot down some notes, and look at it only if and when things start crumbling down.

For the time being why not just enjoy a better game of golf?

Door #1 or Door #2?
 
Thank you, Patrick and plgolfer; I really appreciate your encouragement.

You raise an interesting point: Does the "feel" have to be "real"?

rwh,

If what you are doing feels real and the results are evident, then stick with the program.

Feeling like we are making a good swing, is as important as seeing the good results that usually follow.

Hi RWH,

My best to you and your family for the New Year!

My point is, what I (or you) may not be real.

Meaning, maybe I fee like I keep my right foot down through impact, when, if video'd, I may be doing an Irish Jig!!!

But....in relationship to my previous swing/feel, my right foot is alot more down.........

However, that does not negate the fact that it is not down through impact.
(cause I LOVE the Irish Jig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Feel is real. Knowing what is real is the next step.
