I think it depends on how you are using 'feel'. Feel alone will mislead. I find that if I "look, look, look" as a way to match feels with geometry, my feels stay fairly similar. It is, as Homer observed, essential to do both.

The root of my swing feels come from three areas. First, the sense of 'swing', of the entire, heavy, club - the sense of the pressure points in the hands. Second, from my feet and the rhythm transmitted through them. And Third, the sense of balance, which boils down to smooth, efficient motion, again, the heavy swinging club, and 'center'. Every motion is in support of impact.

Swing changes magnify the intensity of feels, as well as the nature of them, their particular quality. Over time the intensity of a feel may fade, but the essential quality of it doesn't - the pressure points in your hands should feel the same, you should have 'command' of their feel, but not by 'doing'.

I think there are important differences between training and playing. When I'm at the range, I may focus on a given mental image, or feel of my hands more directly for a few shots, and then I'll turn off that 'monitor' and just react. When I do that, I can't say I am 'feeling' anything other than an outcome, after the fact.
