  • If you're wondering how to hit your irons pure, I have a simple drill for you. Literally, within 10 minutes of doing this drill you'll be striking your irons more solidly and consistently than ever.
    Please visit the link below and I will send you free samples from my Body Swing book and video series: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
    So many people struggle when hitting irons which is costing them a ton of shots. This drill is not about hitting down on the ball. It is not about forward shaft lean through impact. It's not about changing your grip or anything else. You may have tired those things in the past and they don't work because they have you hitting the ball with your arms.
    If you want to hit your irons pure you need to stop doing all of those things. This best drill for irons and it's totally different to anything you have ever tried in the past.
    The next time you're at the range give this a try. I need you to tee up your ball. Take out a mid iron and hit a whole bucket of balls doing this drill. Then adjust as I explain in the tip as you get better at it.
    Correction: 6:48
    Here I said squeeze against the ground. Should be squeeze against the clubface.

    One of the best drills I've experienced. I purchased your Body Swing series a couple months back and have seen major improvement. Forgetting the strong grip and transitioning to a neutral grip was probably the hardest habit to break at 58 years old, however, I'm seeing more consistency with my shots. Still working on the loose wrist and hitting my irons pure. Thanks for all your help!

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 2 lety +10

      Thanks for the support. Glad you are starting to get it. Glad you are doing the neutral grip now. This is a game changer for sure but it does take work. Stay focused and try to perfect each lesson. Just do this daily at home. This is one of the biggest issues people have. They don't do swings daily.

    Paul - last month I shot a 63 in my weekly 9-hole league. I could not hit my irons AT ALL. I was embarrassed and ready to quit. I watched this video, and went to the driving range. I tried your choke up, hinge technique and hit EVERY SINGLE ball in the bucket solid and straight! Today I shot a 41 in my league, including inches fro a hole in one. This is ALL from watching your videos! Thank you so much for completely changing my game! For anyone reading this - watch Paul's videos, the ONLY training that works! Thank you so much Paul!

    • @paulwilsongolf

  • @zero2herogolf
    @zero2herogolf Před 3 lety +37

    5:35 - At the range I did one swing strictly hinge/rehinge with very little lower body action, just to see what would happen. The ball went about 83% of my normal distance with a little pull fade. Absolutely amazing. For those people who top it, fat it, don't make contact, or can't get it down the fairway, this one change would immediately lower their handicap by 10 strokes, maybe more!

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 3 lety +6

    I seriously think you’re one of the very few pros in the world who actually understand and are able to teach how to hit a golf ball. So many pros are obsessed with body angles and positions, they forget all about what the club head is supposed to do at impact. Thank you!!! Soft wrists and hands are absolute key. I think so many pros and good golfers have no idea why they’re able to hit a golf ball. But for those of us who aren’t naturals, your advice is the missing link of golf instruction!

    • @paulwilsongolf

They can keep doing what they do and I will keep doing what I do. Seems like a lot of people like the simple approach.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks. Not sure why everyone thinks they have to hang up the clubs. Doing practice swings at home is the best way to work on your swing. No ball means no distraction of you trying to hit it. If there is no distraction you can make the changes over the winter then play great golf next season as opposed to not practicing then working on it next season when you should be playing great golf. I have literally taught this for years. It's just getting everyone to do it. Just take out a 7 iron and having sitting there. Do daily practice swings doing some of the stuff in my tips and it will be mastered by next season.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před rokem

      Well, I have always thought about this. For well over the first 10 years of teaching I would analyze the students reaction to what I was saying. I was thinking what are they hearing as I say it. If it didn't register I would discard it. This is why I say things the way I say them. Everything has been tested with thousands of students. The main thing holding people back that no one even talks about is human nature. I talk about it here: czcams.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/video.html
      It affects everything you do in a golf swing. Need to go against it. Until then, you will never get it.

      Paul Wilson Golf - i went to the range and hit a bucket of balls. Your “string around the axis” analogy helped me hit my clubs better than ever before - even my 5W, 3W and driver! The idea of choking down helped me loosen up my wrists and imagining the face 2 feet ahead of the ball with straight arms, stretched out, helped me hit straighter, more consistent shots. It’s going to take lots more practice, but the seed is planted and I can’t wait to get back out and run those drills again. Thank you!

    Are you kidding me?! After 50 years of playing Golf on and off I found this gem of golf instruction and it cured my thin irons with this drill with 20 range balls. After I understood the importants of just doing nothing with the arms and wrists I hit the best 5 iron of my whole life! Super effortless, dead straight with a great contact. But it only works when you do one thing. And this thing is DO NOTHING! LET IT HAPPEN AND IT WILL BE PERFECT. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Glad you liked it. Thanks. This is the key. Too many people out there just whacking away as hard as they can. This tightens the wrists and can get you manipulating the face. Just need to let it go. This loosens the wrists so you get way more clubhead speed with no effort. This clubhead speed is for life because you don't have to be strong to be loose. Plus, if you aren't hitting you allow the forces to act on the mass almost eliminating any face twisting. Might want to watch this one too. It's an old one but still relevant:

    This is absolutely one of the best tips I've ever seen ( 9 handicap ). Once you become comfortable with it ( which doesn't take long ) you will be amazed!! It also transferred to the course for me and made an immediate impact . 2 birdies ( because of my iron shots ) , shot an 80. I now incorporate this into my practice....I hit my wedge, 9, 8, 7, 6 irons twice through with this drill before I start my 'normal' routine. Great drill!!

    @4thebeatles Před 3 lety +1

    I love this lesson and I have tried this before and noticed exactly what you are saying . Lately I have been flipping the club and not getting the distance with my irons, so a local pro had me hitting down, exactly the opposite of what you are teaching, with the results not being what I want , and a sore wrist. After watching your lesson , I will be going back to the range and practice like you said with gripping down for an entire bucket with various irons !!!

    3:11 - That is so good. I'm just now formulating in my mind, that we are swinging the club between hinged at the top, and unhinged 2 feet past the ball. There is no point in between that should get special attention. Whatever lies along that path, between those 2 points, is on a collision course with the club-face. It really is a different way of thinking about the golf swing!

    Paul, love your videos and found this one especially helpful. Tried it on the range yesterday and it was just like you said. Loose wrists resulted in a nice ball flight. Might try this during today’s round on a couple shots at our club that are always tough for me. Still not sure, even after watching a few times, exactly why this drill works. Is it simply having a little of the club weight above your hands enough to feel different? Thanks again and keep up the good work.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 3 lety +20

      Great to hear! It changes the balance point of the club so you can feel it hinging and rehinging. You do this and you loosen the wrists which is exactly what I am after. Hopefully, you saw the end of the tip where I said once you get it gripping all the way down then start to move up a little then a little more. So today why not grip down an inch to try it?

    Paul thank you for the easy to understand videos and explanations, I've watched about and I've finally found where I was making my errors and why I haven't been able to make progress. I've only been been playing gold for about 2 years now, a friend taught me a bit of the basics before he moved so I've been playing on my own with what he left me and from watching others and after my fourth time on the course I decided I won't play on a course until I'm satisfied with my swing at the driving range, unfortunately life keeps you busy at times and couldn't go hit the balls as much as I'd like to and I was advised against watching 'how to' videos because everyone is different and would just confuse a beginner because of all the steps and I agree... Luckily I realised a while back that golf isn't about how hard you hit the ball but I couldn't figure out why my club/driver face kept opening and now I know, I don't hinge I tense up instead as well as not using my hips and legs and following through and a few other things thats wrong with my foundation that I'm looking forward to improving so thank you and I look forward to watching your other videos and putting them into practice... Apologies for the essay

    • @paulwilsongolf

  • @SchillerDuval
    @SchillerDuval Před 3 lety +6

    After watching a bunch of Paul’s videos, I’ve come to the conclusion that most if not all of swing problems have to do with “trying” to hit the ball. When you try to hit the ball, you are using your arms, and that leads to widely inconsistent shots. The most helpful swing thought for me is the “hinge-unhinge”. This forces you to use your body and leads to an effortless swing. Thanks Paul

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 3 lety +2

      You got it. This is so true. Now who wants to hit with arms? Almost everyone. This is why almost everyone needs help with their swing. Pros don't hit solely with the arms. Pros learned as kids when they had minimal arm strength. See it now? Hinge - rehinge is a huge part of it. You get that working then connected to coil - uncoil. Simple.

    Finally, a sound explanation of what hitting down on the ball means. I've always had this tip in the back of my mind (with my arm swing) with the end result usually being a turf-size divot I could roll out on my own lawn. Now that I have been practicing this drill, coiling-recoiling with a body swing, I can feel the club 'getting into correct position' (aka hitting down) immediately before ball strike.

      Thanks. You can do this but I would be concerned about loosening up. I would be doing this drill at home in practice swings loosening up your wrists. Here is now to beat your friends. When you get to the course you hit only 25 balls. When you hit them DO NOT aim for a target. DO NOT care where the balls go. In fact just hit it and don't even watch it. Once you hit your 25 balls go putt and chip. Now you will step on the first tee with no expectations.
