I like to think of "feel" as the ball having emotion.
The sweet little thing,sometimes cheeky,often errant,is still nonetheless capable of connecting with you,especially if you whisper gentle,and sometimes langorously stroke it before you take your shot.Imagine a butterfly alighting on your shoulder,and feeling a kiss of baby breath in that little pool by your neck,the soft warm ripples spreading a certain pleasure,your resistance is gone and the angels wings take you wherever they wish.
Thats what "feel" does.But you really do have to make the effort and be that butterfly to your ball.Well thats what I do anyway...
