Drill To Switch To A Body Swing vs. Arms Swing
Vložit

- In this tip I am showing you a drill you can do to switch to a body swing vs. and arms swing. If you want to learn the powerful, effortless, pain-free swing that I teach you need to hit the ball with your body not your arms. To do that, you need to change the way you think.
I say this because in golf the ball is stationary. This means that as you reach the top of your backswing you will try to hit hard with your arms. This is due to human nature telling you to hit the ball hard with your arms. This is not what pros are doing and will never work. So a body swing vs. and arms swing is the way to go.
So here is a drill you can to switch to a body swing vs arms swing. This is not a drill to hit perfect shots. It's a drill to switch you to using your body not your arms. So watch this tip and start working on it right away. You can do this at the range or at home. The more you do it, the faster you will learn a body swing.

Hope you are doing OK Paul? Haven’t seen any new videos in a while, your tips have helped my game greatly. Keep em coming please!!
Thanks. It's winter here. I will be back at it in the near future.
@@paulwilsongolf
I was wondering as well. Glad you’re ok.
Paul - your Virtual Golf School video, which I purchased a couple years ago from your website demonstrates exactly what you are talking about in this drill above. You took average and high handicap golfers through the process of turning the lower body first to start the downswing and turn the arms off. I’d recommend the Virtual Golf School to anyone who wants to see proof of the effectiveness of your instruction and philosophy.
Hey Paul! I wanted to tell you what FINALLY helped me create LAG after 40 years. I've been trying your body swing for a couple of years but never really generated lag.....the TIP is: "on the downswing, DO NOT let the clubhead pass your right shoulder to the ball". My only goal now is for my right shoulder beating the clubhead to the ball.
WOW. Great tip, never heard it put that way. Very simple and really worked for me. Thank you.
Just have to change how people think. Most are not even thinking of using their body. It will never move unless you move it. Some don't seem to believe that but when you think about it, you can move your arms without your body. It is impossible to move your body without your arms. I did a tip on it here:
czcams.com/video/SgZ94B93w4o/video.html
Hello Paul. Hope all is well with you. You haven’t posted any new videos for a while which is not like you! Hope to see some new tips posted soon. Your material is so so good and has helped me play much better pain free golf in the past year. Thank you for all your efforts in making the videos.
I will be at it again soon. Winter. Viewership is 25% of when golf season is in full swing. Need everyone watching.
Mr. Wilson, thank you for this game changing method. For over 35 years I've been trying to get a nice, smooth classic swing. You cite Els and I'll include Couples, they have my favorite effortlessly silky smooth swings that I've always admired. A couple of years ago I lost part of my leg and have to work back to playing form. Oddly enough, before the surgery, I've been trying to slow down my swing close to how you describe and I'm finding myself feeling my shots much better than I ever have. Per your video instructions I've lately been trying your technique with my irons and immediately felt an improvement. I don't have the precise mechanics down yet because I'm doing this now with a prosthetic but it clearly works. I play Titleist 690mb blades and my 2i is one of my fave clubs in the bag. With your method I really feel that ball jumping off the face of the club and whole swing is just light years easier to manage. Even with my limited balance I can still end up with great, even follow through. I love it and can't wait to get back out on the course. Again, thank you for this fantastic instruction!
Cheers!
Sorry to hear about your issue but glad to hear you are trying my stuff and seeing how anyone can do this and hit it amazingly well with minimal effort. Nice sticks you have there. 2 iron. Love it. You don't have those clubs if you weren't a decent player. Stay focused on what I am saying and keep practicing it. You will be able to play great golf forever. As I always say, you don't have to be strong to be loose! I am getting power through looseness not physical strength. Couple this with a little body turn and you've got it.
Just want to thank you. Im playing so much better than I ever have in my life. Your Book and videos are the best money I have ever spent on golf! I also watch everything have on here too. My golf future is bright! My next dream would be a lesson there! I am also pain free with this swing which is amazing.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. So glad you are doing well. Pain-free is a great. Makes the game more sun for sure. Keep up the good work and maybe one day we meet.
tq so much, my game changed a lot with your tips. for years i have been trying but fail. your teaching is very much different, but it really works
Glad you've been working on it and seeing results. Yes it's different. Too many people just wracking away at it which will never work. Keep at it.
I saw an earlier video where you spoke about using the hips more than the arms. I tried it on the range and found myself hitting the 'sweet spot' more often! I also found I was slicing and hooking less, as I wasn't so focused on trying to smash the ball to death!!
Thanks Paul, really love the content.
You are amazing, genuine instructor!!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support.
Great tip Paul. Thanks
I just want to thank you for all the videos you've posted on CZcams. It's really easy to understand, and now I'm shooting in mid-70s to high 70s no more 80s on my scorecard. Thank you again!
You're welcome. Glad you are doing well and understand it. My whole thing is to keep it simple. If you understand it you will at least try it. If you try it you will see you can do it. If you see you can do it maybe you will keep doing it.
Thanks Paul this is super good and amazingly helpful information I very much needed to and appreciate hearing it thanks again 😀 I am on my way to a new awakening
Paul, thank you so much for all your tips, I got my first hole in one today! 167 yrd 8 iron. Kept it loose. All body! Signature hole. Par 3. The body swing is for real! Thank you Paul!
Wow! That's great. Exciting feeling when you get one that's for sure. You will be thinking about it for a week. Let's see if you can get another.
Paul, your instructional videos have turbocharged my journey to good golf. The body... You are most appreciated!
Great to hear! Just a different way to swing. Takes understanding, getting used to new feelings and a little practice and you will make the switch. Keep at it.
Thank you very much, Paul. This is another excellent lesson. It's all about the presentation, and yours is straightforward and to the point.👍🏼
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Just finished a range session and lower first worked wonders. 💪
Paul I got a lesson with a guy today and he basically teaches what you do. And my god I've never had easier distance and such a smooth swing in my life. He was all about letting all the tension go and letting the club do all the work. It was amazing as I've been so sore from putting in so much effort for such little reward
Very good. So there are still come guys out there teaching what I teach. Now you see it works stay focused. Get this and you have a swing for life. Oh yeah, you also get to blow people's minds at how you hit it so long while barely swinging at it.
@@paulwilsongolf well I gained 10 to 12mph swing speed so I definitely will be showing off haha. I was only around 90 to 94mph before and that was with a lot of effort and yesterday I was swinging at 104mph with no effort at all
It's crazy how people are not all of this. Instead they just keep whacking away and never improve. I will keep trying to convince people to do it. One day maybe they will at least try it. Keep at it.
Hi Paul. I just listened to you on a Breaking Par with Paul Sheridan podcast from 2017. I was totally blown away by what you were saying, especially how you built both your swing and instruction on the Iron Byron machine. What an eye-opener that was for me. I would recommend this particular podcast to all your subscribers. I would also like to see you do a video on the Iron Byron and how it is the basis of a body swing. Thanks for all you do. Great stuff!!
Glad you found that interview. That was a good one for sure. Yes, the machine got my swing back after 10 years of searching. It's simple and perfect so why are we making it complicated. 3 things that's it. Hinge and rehinge. Coil and uncoil. Maintain your spine angle.
Love it! Been trying to do this for a while and not having much success. This will help!
Glad you loved it. Take a while to switch but you have to at least be thinking about using the lower body. This is where you start. Then choose something that will make you use the lower. Belt buckle is the easy one. Tee up your ball and start with short shots. Build it up slowly. You don't want to speed up so fast you get hitting again.
Another great tip...thanks!!
You are so welcome!
Greatest drill in golf. Impossible to hit from the top down forces you to use body if done correctly. I start every range and warmup session with it. Everyone should learn it. I believe Tiger hated it but produced outstanding results. Thanks.🙏
I went back and tried this and I will say when it's done right it does make a difference
It sure does. If all pros use their body then everyone needs to get moving their body. Once you do it's whole new world. Keep at it.
Loves this video
Thanks so much.
I'm 70 yo high handicapper. Since I bought Paul's program i've lost 3 points in 5 weeks, down to 16. Everything goes straight and i rarely mishit. Paul makes the swing positions easy to achieve and understand.
Thank you for the support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you are doing well. Keep doing lots of practice swings daily. Hit few balls. The ball is the problem. Take the ball away and you can clearly focus on the changes. Get the changes then add more balls.
Hey Paul I used to hit a horrible slice but thanks to you I hit the ball long and straight of the tee with the driver, it only took a about a year for this to happen.. so I’m going to start work on my irons now with your golf lesson videos, a big thank you ,
Very good. So glad you got rid of that slice. A year was a little long.
Typically it takes me 5 - 10 mins. Such a great feeling when you are hitting drives down the middle. Watch me do it:
czcams.com/video/q5RojTx5sHI/video.html
I had only played one round of golf and had not been to the range in about 6 weeks, until yesterday. After 2 hours at the range, I have zero pain today. That's remarkable given the fact I'm nearly 60 years old. Before I started following Paul a few years ago, my back would have been wrecked the next day.
For any of you folks who just started watching Paul, he preaches the truth. Using your legs and hips for power will allow you to enjoy the game for many years - pain free.
Amazing tip Paul !! Just starting playing agian after 10 years. My body doesn't move or feel the same. I have to retrain my mechanics this is a great start. Thanks !!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
One thing I love about Paul is that he doesn't change what he teaches. He's been teaching the same swing for over 30 years. His videos provide us with new ways to think about his swing concepts, but those swing concepts he teaches has never changed because he knows from experience that they get people playing their absolute best! Thank you for all your wise insights Paul.
Exactly. I haven't changed because what I teach works amazingly well and super fast. So many people are stuck thinking inside the box. With this way of thinking you always get the same result. I just see it differently always keeping the thoughts "fast and easy" in the front of my mind. Thanks for the kind words and support. I appreciate it.
He doesn't change his clothes either🤣. 5 years ago or yesterday...he's wearing the white visor, red shirt, light colored pants. It's hilarious!
Yep, don't even need to know my name. He's the guy in the red shirt. Probably 5 other reasons I wear the same thing too. Again, think outside the box.
I will watch and like every body swing video you post, I will let my arms become melted butter
My first comment ever As I joined specifically to thank you so much for after 10 years I finally understand, thanks to you. I know since I swing more easily and yet the ball goes farther and straighter than ever before, Slow Arns Fast Body, Works for Me!
You are most welcome. Understanding it is half the battle. I like what you are saying. Swing easy = longer and straighter. This is how it works. Keep at it.
Thanks Paul.. Been watching for 10and
Looking forward to a great year watching your videos Paul...hope everything is well!!!
Happy new year! Thanks for the continued support. Cold out here now so I thought of an idea for some tips until I can get out there again. Will be trying it shortly. Hopefully, people like it.
Just letting you know that I have my own section on this major magazine now. I am posting 2 tips per day. Lots of work. I will continue to do tips on CZcams with more to come in the spring. www.mensjournal.com/pursuits/golf-tips/
Sounds great! Cant thank you enough,golf is finally getting fun instead of frustrating! @@paulwilsongolf
Thanks again Paul. If it wasn’t for your online course and these videos, I would have given up on golf long ago. 👊🏻👍🏻
Glad to help. Been there many times myself so I can relate.
Mr Paul Wilson I’m here to admit that you told me/us first to relax and loosen up a few years ago !,,,
I finally felt the weight of the club and explosive compression at the golf ball.
YOU WERE RIGHT.😅😅😅
It must be extremely exhausting dealing with us always trying to HITthe ball.
Glad you see it now. I will keep saying it and saying it until people finally try it. This is why I say to do it for at least a bucket. If I can get people to do that they will see amazing shots. It is exhausting and infuriating but human nature is a powerful force that people have a hard time breaking. I went through this myself but training my self to stop hitting. Once you get it you never want to hit every again. You are now on your way. Keep at it.
Paul is the best coach for club golfers who want to improve their game. TEGSwing is the correct way to play the game. Turning arms off is the key. This video is all you need (along with a little patience)
Thanks for the support. Simple is most certainly the key. Takes a little understanding and practice. The pay off is well worth it. Keep at it.
Hi Paul, thanks for the time today. Found this one today and the “Best Transition Drill” from 3yrs ago. I am making some progress on loose wrists but still need work on hip turn/coordination. I am still coming over the top with a negative swing path and it does not appear as though my hips continue all the way through to 45 degrees. Any recommendation on additional drills to work on would be appreciated. Keep up the good work, Bud
Glad you are working on it. The body is a huge key. This needs constant and consistent practice. You do this in practice swings daily until you train yourself to fire your hips. Here are the 2 drills you need to practice to hit it longer than ever. Need to do these daily for 30 days as much as you can:
czcams.com/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/video.html
czcams.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/video.html
As for over the top. I have tons of tips on this. This is the person hitting with arms. This leans them left as they start down. Lean left and you will swing left. So you need to lean right. Overdo it at first. This means you will hit pushes and push fades but this doesn't matter because you are trying to get the tilt. To fix the push'push fades you simply turn more then you won't over tilt and hit it straight. Watch these:

great tip! Simple thought 'belt buckle'.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Paul found that your method works great for irons.i dont think of anything on downswing orher than push off right foot to rotate belt to target. I always gave up on your method as i could not get it to work for driver until i saw your driver swing video swinging around and around thank you. I think driver swing needs to be much flatter/deeeper than with irons. Irons need to feel earlier wrist hinge whereas driver feels more like a baseball swing with flatter plane.
As you now see y method works great for all clubs. As for driver people always want to hammer it as hard as they can. In doing so they hit with the arms not the body. The harder they hit, the tighter the wrists the slower the club moves and the more they twist the face. Yes, the driver is longer. It naturally would swing flatter. I have said this for years. All swings are the same. They change on their own due to the length of the club. Shorter clubs swing steeper than longer clubs. Here is a tip on it from 3 years ago:
czcams.com/video/x16qhEzeP0o/video.html
You don't need an earlier release with irons. You need to be loose in the wrists allowing it to release. Watch:
czcams.com/video/jEWe9Gaoqxo/video.html
czcams.com/video/gMVs6SZNBIQ/video.html
czcams.com/video/RM4OX3m2-90/video.html
So keep apply the trigger as you are but you need to work on the hinging and rehinging the club. Watch this too:
czcams.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/video.html
There is no guessing on what to do.
Hear I am for my yearly golf lesson.
Very good. Not sure why you didn't keep doing practice swings all winter as I suggest. Start with the grip, set up, loose wrists and fire the lower body.
My. daughter started swinging an iron at 4/5 and formalized swing coach at 6. What you say Paul is true from my perspective. She takes long beautiful backswings and smooth effortless downswings.
Is she perfect of course not but she recruits the correct muscles organically due to your reasoning in your video.
Glad you see it. They get it way faster due to not hitting with the arms. I will keep saying it and hopefully people will hear me. Turn the arms off and it's a whole new world. Hope she sticks with it. She will have a lifetime of great golf.
The king
Thanks for the support.
@@paulwilsongolf any time I even told 2 guys about you showed them your videos. The one guy 71 years old started to hit it straight after the first time trying.
I really appreciate your tips Paul! My golf swing is now way better than i would have ever thought it would be in such a short period of time. Do you by any chance have any tips on putting back spin on the ball?
Glad you like them. Thanks for your support. So glad you are improving. That's what it's all about. Forget backspin. You get this with the right fundamentals. I want it to hit and stop where it hit. Can't gauge how much it will spin back.
Watch:
czcams.com/video/EDlwfq_ZBvE/video.html
czcams.com/video/_ji_zykZlY8/video.html
Those will get on your way to getting backspin.
Hey Paul. It was such a pleasure to meet you today at Bears Best ! Really appreciate the quick tips you game me and your hospitality! Would love to connect with you for a private lesson next month I am in Vegas.
Great to meet you too! Definitely let me know if you would like to set something up. Just go to my site. Top right you will see contact us. Send us a message. paulwilsongolf.com Thanks.
“As soon as it sets”. What feeling do you have for that? The club resting on the index finger? I always seem to start the transition too early!
Hi Paul, love your tips. I’m confused between the wrist “hinge” you talk about and the wrist cock. There are two axes the wrists move and I’m having trouble understanding how they should work together through the golf swing. Can you make a video that addresses this? For example should the wrist be cocked at impact while you unhinge the wrists at impact? What does this look like throughout the swing?
I'm trying to get this right in my head. Stopping at the top and turning the hips don't bring the arms down. Is it the hips, and then in turn, the shoulder turn that brings the arms down Paul?
Hi Paul, I have been following you for 10 years and bought a few online classes. It works for me and the result is awesome! The body swing is the game changer for me. Recently I have seen a golfer lady (Erika L) and she talks about 'dead arms' , momentum swing, true swing etc. I am wondering if this is the same method that you have tought me or not.
Regards.
Chatchai
Thank you for your continued support. I truly appreciate it. Yes, I know exactly who that is. Seems they are stealing some of my stuff. They even named one of their tips exactly what I named mine. I am keeping my eye on it. This is not the same method so do not confused the two.
You swing looks good. Face is shut at the top so you need to check you grip. Has to be way too strong. Hands are probably too far forward which is causing the strong grip.
hey paul love the tips! I have both your books and love those as well. however i still really struggle knowing if i am in the right setup position. I fear i might be setting up too tall or something and i find it hard to turn my shoulders correctly. Any tips you can refere me to?
Glad you're with me. I appreciate the support. Act like someone is going to throw you a basketball or short stop position. That is the set up. Tall but not too tall versus bent over. So do the athletic set up then take your chin and look down until you can see the club and ball clearly not your toes. If you clearly see your toes you are too low.
As a senior golfer late 50’s always trying to get more distance . Your methods show me to go right back nice and slow and immediate better swing speed and subsequent distance . Have the general good golf game this is just the missing link for me .
Glad you see it. It is not about hitting. That will never work. Slow and easy will keep you loose. The looser you are the more speed you will generate. Once you get it you have it for life because you don't have to be strong to be loose. Keep this thought. If you want a little more in the future then fire the legs and hips a little faster. Don't go crazy though. Actually you need to watch this one:
czcams.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/video.html
Big trend right now is pro trainers posting a round of golf either solo or with a fellow CZcamsr. Would love to see you play a round. Love all the advice you’ve given throughout your years here on CZcams.
They do that because they have run out of content. I may do it sometime but the last time I play was March. So maybe.
Good afternoon Paul I have a broken body but still get out and slap it around on a regular basis. The problem I have is on practice swings I have a full follow thru. But when I hit the ball I have a super sawed off follow thru like older Palmer.. is there any thoughts on this?? I know this is causing me to be tense. And I can not smoke a lb of pot to get limber and loose before I plan..lol. Thank you for your help.
Hi Paul on the down swing when I turn my legs and hips do the hands and arms stay back or drop thanks for your help Kylie advise Jack
The hands would drop due to simple physics. Watch:
czcams.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/video.html
Hi Paul I was wondering if you would do CZcams video for a fade with the bodyswing as it would be fantastic to play that shot when needed. Thanks
I have a video on this here: czcams.com/video/GERdoCcL5rE/video.html
Hey Paul hope you’re enjoying your long weekend! I can’t find the exact video but you made a video of you swinging the driver in the air helping you loosen up and not thinking of hitting a ball. My driving has improved I’m just wondering if that drill will translate to an iron play or if there is a drill like the same for irons. I know it’s obvious to just do the same thing with an iron but just wanted to be sure that the right thing to do. Sorry for long message😂
I’m just significantly tighter with irons than a driver
Hi Paul! Long time believer and supporter here. I would appreciate your feedback on a couple of feels/moves I have been doing. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can offer.
First, regarding the right foot on the downswing: you finsh up on the toe of your right foot, foot vertical, with most weight on your left leg, and facing parallel to the target. My feel/move has been to get in that position by focusing my attention on turning that foot up and out (not forcefully, but let it swing freely in that motion). This seems to get my right knee over against my left leg, weight onto left leg, buckle/belly left of the target, and into a full finish. Any thoughts on my mindfulness of moving my right foot in this way?
Second, I seem to swing better if I sense my weight on my right heel at the top of the backswing. Do you pay attention to where your weight is placed on your right foot at the top? Heel vs. toe vs middle of your foot?
Thanks again for all you do for us.
Cool.
Glad you liked it. Thanks
Hi Paul I have a question I’ve just had surgery on my right wrist and it was fused. my question is will I be able to do this swing with very limited mobility in the right wrist. Paul love your videos and have to change my right sided swing hopefully I can do this swing. Please let me know thank you again.
Well that's unfortunate. What you need to do is hinge your wrists to you maximum. I have taught many people with wrist issues without a problem. What I don't like is when someone doesn't hinge to their maximum. So hinge going back to the point you can't hinge anymore the fully release it into the through swing rehinging as much and the wrist allows. Keep working it back and forth loosening the wrists but getting used to hitting those points. Then once you get the arm unit working you switch to body coiling and uncoiling.
Hi Paul, New to your body swing. 67yo chronic golfer hitting off back foot, until recently. In addition to belt buckle to target or hips to target is pushing off trail foot ok too initiate the downswing?
Glad to have you. Thanks for the support. Yes, you need to choose a trigger that works for you. I pushed from the back instep. I explain it here:
czcams.com/video/ZiIbTW14Was/video.html
Here is another one too:
czcams.com/video/62JeIP1GUEs/video.html
What’s your thoughts on Jake knapp’s swing? Seems to fit with everything you talk about
I like it. Lot's of good stuff. Loose is key.
Paul , do you recommend the orange whip speed club ? THANK YOU .Ron
It's okay to warm up with but it's heavy. You swing that and your clubs feel light which is the opposite to how they should feel. They need to feel heavy if you are doing the swing I teach. So why not flip your club upside down to warm up. Then flip it the right way. Watch:
czcams.com/video/Z_wIbElk5sc/video.html
THANK YOU@@paulwilsongolf
Hi Paul, I'm doing the swing. I get to the top then I use my hips and legs to bring driver down. I hit the ball beautiful and has a slight draw. I hit it about 220 yards. I've tried to turn my hips quicker. Same results. I just want about 30 more yards. Course I play is pretty flat. So I'm not getting much roll. Maybe 10 yards roll. Help
To get more distance you need to understand that there is timing between the release and body rotation.
If you only speed up the body of course you're going to blow it right.
So the first thing you need to do is roll the wrists from the top and hit 10 hooks in a row. This speeds up the release. Now you can drive the lower harder to straighten it out. If you blow it right do it again. Do this but early: czcams.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/video.html
Here are the drills (wrists):
czcams.com/video/M868QsTlGt4/video.html
czcams.com/video/N-nGM6yN790/video.html
czcams.com/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/video.html
Remember to roll it from the top to get it hooking. Forget direction. You only care about the spin.
Most popular trigger:
czcams.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/video.html
Keep firing the lower body until you hit it straight. If you fire the lower and pull/pull hook need to fire sooner. Push/push fade this is too hard. I you slice it go back to step 1 and get it hooking.
Do this daily:
czcams.com/video/x1NehGi8tyI/video.html
Once you can hit 10 in a row start firing the lower body. This is what you are thinking about to start down. You feel still feel the release but you are not thinking about it.
I would also work on lag to make sure you have some:

Hi Paul, I’ve been struggling with consistently striking my irons off the toe. Do you have any drills/tips to help me?
Toeing is you raising up through impact. Follow this:
czcams.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/video.html
Oh yeah, loosen up more so you stop hitting. The harder you hit, the more you will look to see what you hit.
One of the top 5 tips of Mr. Paul Wilson is... BELT BUCKLE... Back swing... Belt buckle,... back swing, belt buckle.. it takes some time and practice of his tips.. one and other... but once this tip makes click and you start to try it... its... wow. Amazing. Thanks for best tips of Golf ! (other thing i can add not sure if it will help someone is... while doin that, imagine swinging at 60%.. or 60 yards, or 6 out of 10) for me.. i feel thats like a magic number. Might be 7 for you.. or 70... anyway Thanks Mr Paul.
Just letting you know that I have my own section on this major magazine now. I am posting 2 tips per day. Lots of work. I will continue to do tips on CZcams with more to come in the spring. www.mensjournal.com/pursuits/golf-tips/
I don’t recommend this but I developed some medical problems that decreased the strength in my arms. This made me use my hips and legs. Hitting the ball further again more consistently and able to play two days in a row.
As you see not hitting is the way. Keep at it.
I have been watching your golf lessons for last 5 years but still my swing has not improved. I noticed as u uncoil your grip end is already at address position before u fully unwinded or uncoiled. Is that true? No one talks about the position of grip end in downswing during unwinding hips. Please confirm the grip end position in relation to uncoiling in downswing? Thanks.
Paul, is there anything different I should do with a bad L-4 L-5. The doctor said I should stop playing golf.
Well, each person is different and I am certainly no doctor. I have Spondylolisthesis. With my swing I have never had back pain. If you are going to play I would suggest not bending over excessively as a lot of people are teaching. This will hurt your back.
@paulwilsongolf Thank you Sir.
Hey Paul, I can incorporate this pretty easily with my swing (the pause at the top was my key). It looks great on video, but the results have not been great. I hit maybe 1 in 5 good. The rest are thin, toe, or pushes. Contact is not great either. I have less confidence on the course than with my normal hand, arm and body swing. If this is the best method to power a swing, how come it does not come easily? Again, on video I look great, but results are not good. I play to a 10 and thought this would help me go to the next level, but the opposite has occurred. Paul
This is a piece of the swing. If you are working on a piece how can you expect to hit great shots. This is also a drill. When you do a drill you go into "drill mode" when you don't care about the result. You care about the move you are trying to learn. It's hard to hit great shots when you stop at the top. So tee up a 7 iron and do the drill hitting 50 yard shots learning to switch to your body not hitting with your arms. As you keep doing it you get good at it then you try it in a real shot. This doesn't come easy for people because they have whacked at the ball with the arms for 30 years and they think they are going to turn them off and hit amazing shots in 5 mins. It is new and different and takes work. For me, I get people to work on the arm unit first. I get them hinging and rehinging and hooking every ball consistently. Yes, you are doing this on purpose with your arms. Once you do this you are now doing half right. You have the spin mastered. Now you switch to body rotation to straighten it out. So you hit the top and turn your belt buckle to hit the ball. Watch your ball. Pull or pull hook it means you need to turn faster. Push it turn slower or stop sliding laterally. Once you are half decent at it the last step is to turn your arms off completely not hitting or helping the shot in any way with your arms. Also, the fastest way to get this is doing practice swings. I tell people this and they insist on smashing balls as hard as they can so they never change anything.

A question Paul. My average swing speed is 84 mph. Sad know. I have never swung hard even when I was a 2 handicapp when I was younger. I'm 57 now. My instructor and everyone I play with says my swing is "so pretty" and smooth. Problem is no power. I use my arms more than my lower body.
I have to be careful due to previous back surgeries not to over rotate but I can turn as long as everything is moving at the same time.
Do you think doing what you say in this video can increase my swing speed? I'm small also. 5'8 155lbs. Thank you.
I like the fact that you were a 2 hdcp and have done this before. Someone along the way you must have taken a break from golf. I have helped countless people who have done this. When you take a break you come back to it and because the ball is stationary you hit with arms. This is due to human nature. So all we have to do is get you using the legs and hips again. For me, this is never an issue to get someone who has done this in the past to do it again. The problem is people who have never done it getting them to do it. So watch this video and think if you can swing this hard with no pain:
czcams.com/video/Q_LW7nm4ssk/video.html
So, if I can do nothing and get it to 100mph you can too. Now lets say both of our arms and wrists are super loose. We would both be doing the same thing so why would my ball travel farther? I am turning faster. Not so fast that I would hurt myself but enough to get the body rotation ahead of the arms. This is the key. When you hit with the arms they outpace your slow body so your hips are not open at impact. Instead you are facing the ball as you hit it. So I need to you to turn the arms off completely then on a daily basis you need to do practice swings doing the drills below:
Turn off arms and get lag:

Thanks Paul. I did forget to mention that I had to stop playing for 12 yrs because of babk surgeries, pain,..etc.
As suspected. Taking a break is a problem. Now you know what to do should have it back in no time.
Paul can you PLEASE make a video for people who have too flat golf swings. What messed me up was focusing on my pocket and swinging inside and now I can’t shake it. Thankyou 👍🏻

Hey Paul! Are you still doing CZcams? Just found your channel and learning so much! I see you haven’t posted in 7 months. Hope all is ok!
Weather has no been cooperating. Trying to get out there soon.
Paul I can’t hit my driver for shit it’s so weak and bad. This fixed my irons 100% but I can’t hit my driver I need help and tips. I know how you say pocket ear thing but what are you supposed to look at for driving?
Same thing. Simple way to hit the top. Too many people try to lift it up so watch this one for a simple thought:
czcams.com/video/x5K9S9vZiN0/video.html
czcams.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/video.html
Keep in mind people want to hammer driver. In doing so they send it over the top and tighten the wrists. Need to be super loose and trust this is the correct feeling. Do this for 1 week:
czcams.com/video/LAejvDbw_aA/video.html
Havent seen Mr Paul Wilson video updates lately... just wondering if he is doin allright? Best Vibes for him.
I'm around. Will get rolling soon.
Haven't seen you post anything in a while, hope all is well!
Winter. On break. Will be back at it shortly.
Hey Paul, I love your teaching, but I don't understand a couple of things. When studying your swing I see indications that you are adding right hand torque/uncocking during the downswing. The two giveaways are, first, the bending you get on your shaft at start of the downswing. This can only happen is you apply a counter clockwise torque at the handle (left hand down, rt hand up). Powerless hands an not create this torque. Second, the only way you can get your right hand to turnover your left just past impact is to intently do this. Powerless hands will not cross over so quickly. Perhaps there is no arm power but maybe hand and wrist input?
What you are forgetting is simple physics of mass swinging around an axis. Mass will always swing to the widest point. So once hinged at the top and you do not do anything the mass (club) will always stretch out to the widest point 100% of the time. This widest point moves ahead of the ball due to the tilt of the spine in the downswing. So yes you can release the club without purposely releasing it. Need loose wrists though. Here is my actually grip pressure:
czcams.com/video/YwniNAXFMd0/video.html
The shaft bend starting down due to my body starting first and mass following which bends the shaft so no this would not indicate I am using my arms. Once you see the video you will see my pressure and what is happening. Also, here his surprise when he sees my right hand numbers as I hit the ball.
Was this Paul's last video? I'm not seeing any new videos. Latest is from 6 months ago.
I just reviewed his videos & my swing is grooving - finally.
Trying to get out there. Weather is too windy.
I am a left-handed golfer with a very dominant right hand. Do you see any disadvantages to your teaching?
Nope. See this as an advantage. Most people want to hit with the dominant hand which for most is hard to turn off. Watch this video of my grip pressure then think of your right hand being dominant. It's a long video but about 1/3 through we go through my numbers: czcams.com/video/YwniNAXFMd0/video.html Once you see them think about your own swing.
Now for lefties I like them to draw it. To do this I get them manually rolling the wrists to get the spin then switching to body once the person can hook it. To do this you need to manually roll it for a while until mastered. This means you will be feeling your hands and arms to do this. Once you can put hook spin on every shot and you are using the body the last step is to turn your arms off completely. So focus on the steps. Start with these:

Been trying to change my swing for about a month now because im a arm swinger but as iv been trying to change my swing i find myself slicing it more and more
This is because you are firing your lower body way too fast. There is timing you need to understand. Follow this: czcams.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/video.html
Sounds like a modern retelling of Percy Boomer's great book-On Learning Golf.
Well, I finally got around to reading his book last winter. There are similarities but differences too.
My teaching is based on Iron Byron since 1999. My first concept for the 8 years before that was that I was going to make my students look like pros and I can do that within a few moves. 1999 I saw a looping video of Iron Byron. All pros match Iron Byron so I was making people copy the machine when I was making people look like pros. After the machine came into the picture I started using the machine to explain the swing as it only does 3 things and hits it perfectly. This is why my teaching is simple. So Percy was on the right track with his teaching.
I need to try this I have a huge problem with hitting it straight
For sure. Need to turn your arm off. You are hitting with the which twists the face. Watch some more of my tips.
When I taught 8 year olds to hit (softball) I taught them to turn their shoelaces (back foot ) to their ‘target’.
Are you ok Paul
Haven’t heard from you for a while
Just taking a break. I have another gig for a major magazine posting 2 tips a day. Check them out here: www.mensjournal.com/pursuits/golf-tips/
Winter here. I have some ideas for tips that I don't have to go the the course.
@@paulwilsongolf good to hear that you are doing good
I was a bit worried
Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Paul love the videos but you need to make a hybrid instruction video. Most people hit these clubs left... hint ... hint!
Hitting a hybrid is no different than any other club. Pulls is you hitting with your arms. Turn your arms off and start the body first. Boom. Fix you in literally 2 seconds. Watch:
czcams.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/video.html
czcams.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/video.html
czcams.com/video/FOB9geBbyFA/video.html

Hi Paul... love your videos and i incorporated your swing years ago and hit mostly straight except the hybrid. The offset is so large on them that I find it hard to keep it from going left? I'll keep trying. Thanks!
Club companies know you do a chicken wing. They put an offset on them to get you to do a stronger grip so you hook it. Once you do you think they are the greatest things slice sliced bread (most people slice). To understand what I mean just move the butt of the grip way forward then try to do your grip. You will never do a neutral grip. You will have to put your hands on in a strong position. So if your clubs are offset you need to make sure your grip is neutral. Then hit the top and fire the lower. If the lower moves first you will hit it dead straight. Watch this one too: czcams.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/video.html
Hey Paul how’s it all going. Haven’t seen any new videos for a while. Everything OK?
Just waiting for warmer weather.
In slow motion of your downswing, your hands are coming down to address position as fast as your hips unwinding. It took me so long to understand. I bet most of the high handicapper their hands are still on top as u r unwinding. Can you please discuss about grip end position in relation to unwinding hips ? It is very critical move not to hook the ball.
Here you go:

czcams.com/video/GhKr6Y8NHGo/video.html
czcams.com/video/M58vf3LMwR0/video.html
czcams.com/video/plrUayVpv0s/video.html
Well most high handicappers are literally facing the ball as they hit the ball. This is 80 to 90% so they literally are only turning their hips 45 degrees which will never generate any power. This is from hitting. They move the fast arms before the slow body. I am moving the slow body ahead of the fast arms.
Dang our golf
Courses closed up this week winter is coming so all i can do is dream till spring 😢😢😢😢
The best time to practice is winter. You do daily practice swings working on moves and positions when you can't play. Then when the season comes around you take your game to a new level. The opposite is you doing nothing. Now the season comes and you work on your swing when you should be playing great golf. See it differently. I took a guy from 95 to 75 in 2 months. He never hit one ball. So keep following my tips and do practice swings. No hitting.
Would love to see you come out with a video like: "Stuck Inside All Winter? Here's What You Can Do" and just outline tips that can be done indoors in a basement!@@paulwilsongolf
Yes, I already have this in the indoor version of my Body Swing product. I may do some tips here not sure yet.
Good morning, Mr. Wilson, you haven’t posted in a while. Just checking in, everything okay?
Yes, just weather is not cooperating. I will try to get out there in the near future. Thanks for the support.
How come I can hit a strong super drive and then loose it all. Third day into misery. How can we lose our swing?
This is why:
czcams.com/video/glKnfVbhuXo/video.html
I've been playing consistently for 2 years, and i still can't figure out the body swing. So frustrating 😡
Are you learning just from my tips or do you have my body swing product? Are you following not only me but others as well? Let me know so I know what you are and have been doing. Keep in mind if you are trying to learn a body swing you need to turn your arms off completely. This is after you have learned a few moves. Need to hinge and rehinge your wrists. Need to coil and uncoil your body. Sure, just loosening will be way better than tight but you need the moves as well. Let me know.
👏👍👏👍
Lots of ams don’t turn their shoulders enough. They lift arms and start the downswing with the arms.
Just letting you know that I have my own section on this major magazine now. I am posting 2 tips per day. Lots of work. I will continue to do tips on CZcams with more to come in the spring. www.mensjournal.com/pursuits/golf-tips/
Oh no did you retire? No videos?
Too windy. Seems to be getting calmer.
Like boxing, use your body
Exactly.
You need both you can’t strike the ball without using your hands . You think a pitcher can throw a baseball without using his hands and all body ? No shot . Hogan talked about throwing a rock across the water but did both he started the downswing with his hips .
If you think you can return the club within a few degrees ( a tick on a clock is 6 degrees) by hitting with your hands then keep doing it. I hit with my hands and arms until 1999 and couldn't keep it on the planet. The day I stopped hitting I went from sideways to straight. If you are not hitting you are not manipulating the face. You throw a baseball with a loose hinge in the wrist. You skip a stone with a loose wrist. This is exactly what I teach.
@@paulwilsongolf Hogan would completely disagree you Paul if you think you keep your hands completely still from the downswing through impact you are not telling the truth . You think Moe Norman just moved his body and no hands were involved? Trevino just moved his body ? Tiger talks about his hands in the golf swing .
@@paulwilsongolf disagree with you my bad ..
This is what I teach. If you want to hit go ahead. Isn't everyone already doing hitting? I did that as well for 2 years 1,000 balls a day (I counted them). I was hitting it sideways. Turned my arms off and hit it straight. This is a fact. Watch the actual grip pressure throughout the swing then decide if you want to hit or not:
czcams.com/video/YwniNAXFMd0/video.html
Disagree all you want. I will keep doing what I do and get the amazing results I have gotten since 1991 telling people to not hit.
Most amatures could spend years just trying to reprogram themselves to stop doing this. What's really bad is when the golfer is over 200 out and watch them lash it with their arms, usually leading to a top or fat.
For sure. They should just do this drill every day:
czcams.com/video/THm6SktFifk/video.html
I tell them to do the drill and they do it 3 times then go right back to whacking at it.
@@paulwilsongolf Paul you have transformed my game and body, thank you!
Just a follow up - I set up at the ball and literally think swinging 50%. It's not a swing thought it's a pre swing thought and that has transformed my game. completely. I went to the range just yesterday and hit a couple of thins and 1-2 fats, but 85% of the balls were struck with loose arms, and wrist with that 50% pre swing thought. It was effortless and the dynamic loft on my shots was tremendous for a 15 handicap. Even the 6 had nice launch. Hold green launch, maybe not but the 8 on back did and it was effortless. I looked around at the range and everyone was swinging arms. Whiffing duffing it was awful. I was just relaxed taking relaxed effortless pain free swings and crushing them. Mishit who cares 0 panic, trust the process hit the next one high and far with that effortless swing.
It's truly amazing how much better I have gotten. Thank you so much Paul.
Yes, this is totally different. Takes understanding, practice and getting used to new feelings. Problem is people try it 3 times then quit cause they didn't hit a great shot. Then this very same person watches Freddy Couples swing and marvels at how easy it is. If is looks easy why swing out of your shoes? 50% is a great thought. Need to stick to this level until you get used to it. Fat shots are easy to fix. This is too much weight on the back foot at impact. Thin - this is you swinging too hard coming out of it. I like you got 85% decent. Yes, you will see 80 to 90% just smashing away wasting time, energy and money. So glad you see it and are going to keep doing it. Now, just another 49 million more to go.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for the tips! Usually it's a thin miss which like you said (thanks!) is just coming to hard out of it. Patience is wonderful at that moment of strike. Nothing makes me giggle just going up there 48 years old, 220 lbs and smoothing 8 irons all over the 150 flag with busted up Mavrik irons.
