- Here's a simple hip drill that shows you how to move your hips in the downswing and into the follow through. The more hips you use in your swing, the more distance you will gain.
Pick Up Free Samples of The Body Swing here: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
So many golfers are just hitting with the arms when they swing. This can be from not realizing they have to use their hips, they might not know how to use them or they are just hitting with the arms. In order to hit the ball longer with your driver golf you need to be powering your swing with your legs and hips.
This hip drill gets you learning how to use them. Once you know how, then you can start trying to power your swing with them instead of just hitting with your arms. This drill drill can be done at home. at the range or even when you play so start to do it as soon as you can.
The more you do this hip drill the more distance you will get because you will finally be using your body to hit the ball instead of just your arms.

Waddaman. One day when I am able to travel again after this flu nonsense, I am coming to see this playa. Love it
That would be great. We can shoot and post it. You have a great swing.
Thomas in here trying to get a free coaching round lol. Hey guys, come to New Zealand and coach me for free too!!!
Someone is on their way to Vegas 👍🏻
Terrific drill that I’ll add to my daily mobility and golf swing exercises. Thank you from Massachusetts 🇺🇸
Simply the best! Thank a ton Paul!!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Paul, this tip on hip turning is the best. Watching all your videos for the past 6 months have gotten my game back on track. I thank you for that.
Glad you are doing well. I have quit a few hip tips on here now. Just stay focused on them. This is the power source not the arms.
Exactly the drills I’ve been doing, this just gives me reassurance. Thank you 🙏
Great to hear! The power source is the legs and hips not the hands and arms.
Perfect. This is exactly what i am looking for. I sure will try this drill. Many thanks Paul.
Fantastic!
I’ve been watching your videos for at least a year and I have to say this video has helped me understand how to use my lower body a lot better. Thank you
Very good. Sometimes it just needs to click. For me it is crystal clear I am hitting it with the legs and hips not the hands and arms. Stay focused and you will get this feeling too.
Great tip that solved my distance problem. As always, your instruction is the best and I have listened to many teachers! Thanks much Paul!
Great to hear! Thanks for the support. Yeah, I don't want to teach what others teach. As soon as they start talking I tune out and I do this for a living. Simple is the key.
Pauls passion for sharing and teaching comes through in all his videos. Thanks again Paul 👌
I appreciate that! Some people seem to think I am being mean. Boohoo.
Paul Wilson Golf If they think your being ‘ Mean’ they cant be serious about improving there golf. Anyway you go into depth about how so many people are getting it ‘wrong’ and thats what your viewers want to identify with, so they can correct it via your solution. Keep them coming they are great. I find slow motion of your cures always help tremendously. 👌
Your tips are awesome Paul. I started redesigning my swing 2 years ago. I'm 68 in May and I'm hitting the ball 40 yards farther than I did in my younger days. Thanks so much for the great advice.
That's great. You have to be super excited and having a lot more fun out there. Glad you changed it and are sticking with it.
This just too good, Paul. Thanks for sharing it for golfers.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. That is a good one for sure. Gets you to understand what you are to do.
I’ve just come back from a lesson and this tutorial explains it easier as it’s something I need to do! It’s difficult as I’ve been playing for years not badly playing off 13 but lost distance! I want to get down to single figures again and this drill will help me get there! Great video 👍🏻
If you have lost distance you certainly need to be loosening the arms and wrists and definitely firing the lower body harder/quicker. I have tons of hip tips on the channel. This is a good one but there are many more. Give them a watch too:

Great drill Paul...... soooo true.....
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
5:58 - Excellent swing Paul. That position and sequence in and past impact is top notch. That ball was crushed!
Thanks. I'm making some changes to my swing right now. I get severe right hip pain at times due to bending from this side and teeing up every ball from every student for 29 years. So I am trying to figure out how to protect this side a little more and still get the power. A work in progress.
Hi Paul, started using some of your drills and it has helped a lot. Hit my driver an extra 15 yards constantly now, but I am doing more of your drills so I hope to get another 15 yards soon. Thank you.
Very good. Here are the 2 you need to be doing in daily practice swings:

Hi Paul, thanks for your drills, I'm actually in a cure for my grip, reverse pivot and overswing, which is quite a lot, but this will help me too !

@@paulwilsongolf thanks a lot
Another good one....will keep trying to master your technique
You can do it!
Paul I can’t thank you enough. You’ve basically been my personal golf instructor through youtube for the past week 🤣.
I had an extremely arm-dominated swing & was constantly hitting left & right for almost a year. Decided last week that I had to fix it before the summer time.
I started by incorporating your loose wrists technique which was a GAME CHANGER.
Once I got comfortable with that, I got the hips more involved. The impact has felt so much better without even trying. The less I try, the father it goes! Just like you said.
Seriously, couldn’t be more thankful that you are giving these tips and drills for free. Terrific lessons sir! Thanks a ton 🙏
Glad you are doing well. Just a different way to do it. Now you see it please keep at it. If so you will have a swing for life.
Great videos ..makes it look so easy. Very grateful to have found you. Wish I can meet you for some classes. Will start doing some of these drills. Thank you !!
Glad you like them. Thanks. Let me know if you can make it to town. If not, I do live video coaching as well. If interested, let me know.
Awesome Drill!
Thanks!
Great tip! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Paul, you must be reading my mind. I wanted to know a good drill for a hip turn. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Easy and productive! Thx much.
Glad you liked it. Thanks
The hips really are the key to the swing imo. I don't know why more golf instructors don't say that. It took me way too long to figure this out. And I've watched hundreds of golf videos.
They sure are. Only been saying this for 33 years. Some teachers are finally starting to figure it out. Maybe they are watching my tips.
@@paulwilsongolf I've even seen videos where the "instructor" recommends not turning the hips!
Brilliant stuff mate - top notch
Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
Nice one Paul. Thanks very helpful.
Happy to help
Great swing tip, thanks!
Happy to help!
Great Drill .. while i was doing it i could not believe how tight my hips were.. I had to add stretching exercises as part of my routine. You did find me 20 yards on my Driver .. thanks Paul
Glad you are working on the hips. This is the missing piece between pros and ams. Get this and you take your game to a whole new level.
I know this video is three years old but just wanted to thank you for the tip. I've been driving the ball poorly lately and that's caused me to keep trying different things, which has made it worse because my swing has become different on every swing with the driver. Trying what you showed in your video really helped get the ball in the fairways today. It didn't go far, because I purposely slowed everything down and wasn't getting very good contact consistently (I'm sure that will come). It was just refreshing to walk down the fairway to my ball today rather than looking for it in the rough. I need more practice with this, but it's a great start! I will DEFINITELY watch more of your videos. I really like your instruction. It's down to earth without the crap that many others do on TH-cam, like promising things that are unlikely going to happen, or claiming they have the cheat code, and other gimmicks. Thanks again, Paul.
You're welcome. It's all about the hips. Simple is the key for sure. It takes a little understanding and a little work and you will have it for life.

Thanks for the support. Just let me know if you can make it. I am off right now. Back on in October until 3rd week of Dec. Then back on March 1st.
Great drill to give a sense of body rotation….it will switch off our arms and can feel the power come from body rotation…..cant thank enough …..great coach, easy to understand and follow
Yes, I like this one. Should do this one too: th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html (even better)
I grew up swinging exclusively with my arms and didn't use my body at all. I'm getting back into golf this year after 5+ years of not touching a club and despite being able to make solid consistent contact swinging with exclusively my arms I know for a fact that I'm not getting anywhere near the yardage I'm capable of. No joke, after 2 range sessions of working on implementing just this tip I've already gained 20-30 yards of carry on my driver and I still have so much I can improve on. A little scary trying to rework my swing mid season but now my swing has never felt so fluid and easy after taking my arms out of the equation. Totally worth it so far. Thanks Paul!
I have fixed countless people who took a break from golf get their swing back. It's easy because they have used their body in the past. Take the break and you start hitting with the arms (which will never work). I just need to get them to loosen the wrists and use their body again to power the swing.
Watch this first to understand why taking a break lost your swing:

Work on this first:

th-cam.com/video/N-nGM6yN790/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/w-d-xo.html
Get the ball hooking and loose the wrists. Once you can do that you then start firing the lower body harder/quicker/faster to straighten it out. Not sure what your downswing trigger is but something in your legs and hips you use to hit the ball.
This is the easiest trigger:
th-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/w-d-xo.html
As you do this there is timing between the release and the legs and hips so you need to watch this to learn exactly how hard you need to fire your hips:
th-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/w-d-xo.html
This is literally days or a week or two of work maximum to get it back.
Keep me posted.
Great lesson! You really tap into the psyche of the average golfer. Plus your a comedian!!!!!
Well, I have been analyzing golfers who have come to me for lessons for 30 years now. For at least the first 10 years I would think what are they thinking as I say what I say. Do this for that long and you know what they are going to do before they do it. Funny how people bash me. What they don't realize is, I don't guess what is going to work and how the person is going to learn it.
Estupendo vídeo. Un magnifico profesor valiente y sincero en todo momento. Es la primera vez que se resalta la importancia de mantener la vista en la zona de la bola olvidándose de su trayectoria hacia el objetivo. Muchísimas gracias por su ayuda.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Thanks Paul. This should help my hooking problem.
This will help with your hooking problem: th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html
Simple en SO Great!! Thank you ! Hope to can visit you soon in Vegas.
Glad you liked it. For sure let me know if you come to town.
Great drill. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
It's taken me years of trying to improve to finally come to the realization that the hips really do need to initiate the downswing sequence. I way always under the impression that everything needed to move totally in sync from the top, and as a result my hips were always square instead of open at impact. You really do need to get those hips turning to initiate the swing. It makes a tremendous difference in clubhead speed, smash factor, and dispersion. Great lesson.
Glad you liked it. Not sure why you wouldn't think the hips don't power the swing. Just a different way to do it though which you need to get used to and keep doing until you get good at it. Now you will keep remembering and doing this into the future and you will take your game to a whole new level in no time.
Great drill, i’ll practice at home
Have fun
Great drill and video. Not too technical and very effective!
Thanks 👍
Thanks! I got this tip from a pro today and hadnt even been thinking about it. You’re 100% right that I was one of those using mainly arms and still playing well. Adding hips straightened the ball out as I was pushing the ball to the right before fairly consistently. Not sure why, but the ball goes straighter with hip motion.
Very good. Hips for sure.
Super tip thanks
Welcome 😊
Love your tips, you are the only instructor that talk about using your body instead your arms.
Thanks. I have taught this was for a long time. I used to hit with my arms. I couldn't keep it on the planet and I practiced all day every day. Once I turned the arms off I got it. Glad you like that type of swing. Keep watching.
I started watching your video in May of 2022. I did your drills. In about 6 weeks my swing speed went from 78 to 81 to about 99 to 102 with a lucky peak at 107. Your analogies such as the chicken wing really help us visualize what to do. I won't be accurate at 99 to 102 but I'm happy to dial it down to 90 or 91 for more accuracy. Great video!
Very good. So glad you are seeing results. Great results too! Nice distance increase. Yes, you never want to swing 100% but as you are getting more distance you get the distance then you straighten it out. I would do doing these 2 drills then you will be a 107 or more into the future all the time:
th-cam.com/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/w-d-xo.html

This is important too:

Today I played with the tought of relax let it go is super!!!
Very good. Glad you tried it and saw that it works. Keep at it.
This drill is a good one. I took a lesson that showed me this and I hit all clubs well, except the 4 Iron which for some reason cannot hit long.
Glad you liked it. Long irons: th-cam.com/video/kCSoZGENOYg/w-d-xo.html
Lovely. Not sure who r those who gives dislike. I actually practice this whenever I get time.
Idiots. They think their funny. Very good. Definitely do this one whenever you can.
Excellent drill tip, Paul. As long as I’ve been using your swing (13 years), I still do constant battle with the hip turn. My tendency is to stall out on the downswing and just slide my hips a bit instead of turn them. If I make the hip turn my only swing thought I can do it, but if I’m thinking about something else, I’ll stall out every time. Ah well, nobody ever said this game is easy... 😡
So why are you thinking about anything else. You need to hit the top then be thinking of the touch the legs position. The upper will uncoil on its down. The only think you really need to do is work on hinging and rehinging your wrists so they are loose. Once you get that in no way are you thinking about arms. So see it clearly and focus on this position. Remember, the position gives you feedback. Your swing is not over until you get this feedback. Point B so look for the feedback on every real and practice swing from this point forward.
Thanks Paul, I needed that. I’ve had the powerless arms and loose wrists thing down for years, but as I’ve gotten older (I’m 75) my equilibrium just isn’t what it used to be. I can no longer finish on my back toe; if I do I’ll fall over. At the finish I have to have more of that back foot down than just the tip-toe, and that makes the touch-the-legs position difficult for me. I think my brain knows that and tries to stop me from doing anything on the through swing that will cause me to lose my balance. You’ll see when you get there, but at some point as you age you just have to do what your body will let you do. It’s all good; I still walk the golf course and on most days hit some really, really good golf shots. I’ve had my days in the sun with this swing, so in my twilight years I’m content to just get out there and play, enjoy the game and not worry too much if I can’t make a proper hip turn...🤪
I've had vertigo since my mid 20's so I feel your pain. No fun. If you have to crunch the back toe a little that might help too.
"that ball right there, is absolutely dead straight".... I'm using this line on my next straight drive 😂
Great instructions, as usual!
Very good line. That will destroy your friends (if you keep saying it all day).
Thanks for the drill and all the great content. If chinavirus hadn't shut down all the Vegas conventions, I'd schedule a lesson with you. I'm usually there every October.
Defintely look me up. I am teaching but those who want to travel are few plus it is kind of hot right now. In the meantime, I can actually work with anyone, anywhere in the world now with my new app. It is live, video coaching. You can find out more here: bodyswing.com/coachlink People who have used it are loving it because now they know what to work on. This is not swing analysis. This is live video coaching.
Great drill thank you. When I feel like I’m “hitting the ball with my right hip” I usually hit it solid.
For sure. It's in the hips. Need super loose wrists though.
Thats a cheeky golf tip 😉
It sure is.
Great and east tip!
Glad you liked it! Simple is the key.
You are absolutely right
Gald you see it.
Your technical information has been a great help for me
It helps the knees and back during an 18 whole round thanks.
Mr Wilson...I will try to see you in October when I am in Vegas
You can certainly look me up. I can also work with anyone, anywhere in the world now with my new app. It is live, video coaching.

I think you're brilliant thanks for these lessons!
Glad you like them!
Love the Body Swing! I purchased it a couple years ago and it has improved my game tremendously. I was curious if you will publish one of your live lessons on Coach Link sometime to You Tube? I’ve been wanting to do a lesson with you on Coach Link and I think it would be fun to see one on your tip videos. Thanks!
Thank you. I appreciate the support and glad you improved you game. The problem with recording a CoachLink session is if you run a screen recording app at the same time it cuts the audio from CoachLink. So I would have to record with a separate camera and audio. I do have a demo one my assistant and I shot here: www.coachlinkapp.com/demo/ these are short lessons giving you a few things to work on or check your positions. The people who have tried it so far love it. I do too.
I seen a good ben hogan drill where you tuck your elbow's into your sides holding the club and rotating, it helps to keep your arms out of the swing and how to use your body as one unit
Coming closer...to perfect timing for a full bodyswing-release by this drill. Thanks for the explanation. It helps along together with the drills a lot! Played in a tounament yesterday and hit my w7 a couple of times >220m (before studying the bodyswing for 10 days now, my average was 120m with max. distance approx. 140m). Thats possible due to plenty of practice indoors every day...yet the success and progess is so much fun. Now my average distance increased to 155m. That said: I am a woman ;)
Great. Seems like you are getting it. Need to use your hips not your arms. Keep on doing what you are are doing. Great job.
What are meters?? I kid, I kid.
Paul, I'm SMH (SHAKING MY HEAD), other Pro's are "NOT" talking legs and hips !! Man, I ain't never hit this ball SO LONG AND SO STRAIGHT in my life !!! I know how to do it now thanks to you !! Love you Man !!
Well some are. They want you leaning forward etc. TURN. That is the key.
Spot on
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Paul great video. What starts the downswing? Do you concentrate on the left or right hip?
There are many different ways to start the downswing. I teach numerous triggers. Start with this one. Most people choose it cause it's easy:

Glad you liked it
Awesome :)
Thanks 😁
Paul I have enjoy watching all your video's. I do not know if you remember me but I worked in the back shop at Cataraqui golf course when you were a pro there... Mike Morrow
Great to hear from you. Not sure if you stayed in the golf biz. I have thought about those years from time to time. Those were the days. I hope you're well. Look me up if you make it to Vegas.
@@paulwilsongolf I'm still in Kingston but work at Queen's university in the IT department. I still play from time to time, was just out with my dad last week
Yes, you need to get out there and enjoy yourself especially with your dad. I need to do that too. Only played 7 times this year. Work work work. It never ends. Stay safe.
Hi Paul this video is fantastic and deserves millions of hits.
I use to think of using my gluteal muscles pulling my lead hip out of the way to start my downswing. Since that did not work for me I am now starting my downswing with a pushing motion altogether with all the joints and bones below my belly button.
I try not to deliberately feel I am pulling anything in my body as my muscles can only supply the pulling power and energy for my entire golf swing. The only thing I might feel is the lagging of my club pulling my hands back until we both equalize ourselves briefly at the moment of impact to the ball.
Very good. You are certainly on track. This is hard for most golfers but once they get it it's a whole new world.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you Paul it tool me 40 years to learn how the golf swing is as simple as walking. Hope the future generations of weekends golfers grasps this knowledge sooner then later. With you help; perhaps they are. Cheers
Yes, we just need to spread the word. It will happen as more and more people find me.
@@paulwilsongolf it so funny you are saying this. The other day I was watching a 60 year old setting up to the ball doing the mirror image of myself. I ask him who did he watch on You Tube. And he replied that you were on the top of his list.
We both agree we would never go back to our old ways.
Professional players do the double pendulum swing and it is time the rest of us do it as well. Cheers
Hi Paul, I just happened to be searching for some tips on hip turning and came across your video. Definitely gives me a good focal point to work with. I’ve been working on turning my hips faster, in order to strike the ball better. And it definitely takes consistent, repetitive practice to get that muscle memory or habit going. I’m 57 and the hips don’t turn as fast or easily as they use to. I’m pretty aggressive with turning the hips to get them there, but then it really puts a strain on my lower back. (Old back injuries with bad disks). But I’ve sucked it up because, HEY, it’s golf. Lol. When I get to the range this week I’m going to try out your tip/method to see if it gets me more fluid instead of aggressively rotating them. Aside from that, any good stretching moves to help the hips and lower back? Thanks in advance and keep up the great teaching. 👍🏼🏌🏿♂️
Glad you found me. This certainly takes a little work. I have quite a few hip tips/drills on the channel now:
th-cam.com/video/4MSzW7R8Acs/w-d-xo.html

th-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/w-d-xo.html
I am really not an expert at hip stretches. My go to guy is Roger Fredericks. He has helped me a lot. He is an expert. Just search his site and pick up his series. I promote it on my site as well. Can't go wrong.
Think I’ve just found the missing piece of my golf swing… let’s hope so it’s a great tip. Thanks Paul
Very good. Get those hips moving. They are the power source not the arms.
Another great drill. I think you mentioned yesterday that you also drive legs with instep of right foot. Is that more advanced stuff to do when you get the feel of "touching the legs & touching the back of head" with club?
You could do it as you do this drill when I turned the hips back. Push from the instep which turns the club. Try it.
Thanks Paul. I’m really trying to follow your body swing program. I’m struggling with not being able to square my club face and blocking out to the right.
Very good. You need to watch the Fix Your Own Swing section of The Body Swing and learn the 2 drills. These allow you to fix any almost all flaws in golf. Turning the arms off complete fix the other 2. So pushes would say you are firing the lower too hard relative to the timing of the release. So you can either slow down or speed up the release. You hook 10 in a row feeling the arms and purposely releasing it. Once you can do that your release is too fast so you start adding body to straighten it out. Here is the tip I did on this:
th-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/w-d-xo.html
Remember, the whole point of how I teach is so you can do this without me. Wouldn't that be great? Well, the answers are all in The Body Swing.
Oh my God, out of all the videos I have watched this is the one that made it click for me. For me it is all about feel, I have to know what the position feels like, so I go to the hit position with my check behind me and see where my arms have to be for me to make contact with the ball in that position.
Glad you had a lightbulb moment. These are great because they take your swing to a whole new level. This is a key move that powers your swing so if you got the feeling you need to keep doing it and get good at it. Couple this with loose wrists and you will take you swing to a whole new level.
@@paulwilsongolf Oh for sure, yeah it is funny you say that about the wrists, I took this video and RICK SHIELS complete golf swing guide about starting the backswing to the range today; he mentions bending the wrists early in the takeaway, I found that really helped me with A. not hitting the ball too early on the unwind and B. somehow making my wrists feel looser.
Your comment about "don't think about moving your arms, think about unwinding your waist" really helped me mentally make the change quickly.
Can you apply the "wiggle" to irons?
My wiggle putting drill? If that is what you are referring to I wouldn't do that. I have this way to wiggle it with your swing:
th-cam.com/video/bCuIUE8iA70/w-d-xo.html
If you are referring to something else let me know.
These new tips are more effective than the whole package of the method I bought from you 12-13 years ago
Is it me or have the instructions changed from back then Paul?
Nope. Same stuff. But since 2002 when I released my book I have thought about many things and new ways of saying things have come to mind. So 12-13 years ago you had the answers.
Paul You are right the instructions are in much simpler language
easy to understand and straight to the point especially being
loose in the arms and coming from inside on the downswing
Paul, thank you for the great drill to help execute that necessary fundamental ! Much needed in my case.
One question- the hips don’t rotate horizontally to the ground do they ? Isn’t there some tilt with left hip higher & right lower?
How would one progress from your drill to account for that ?
Thank you !
Steve
This is a drill. I am standing up to do the drill. In the swing you are tilted. The only way your hips would swing horizontally is if you are standing up (which you are not). You need to get your hips moving and stop hitting with arms. So you are doing drills etc. to get them moving. I have tons of them on the channel. Watch this first:

If you fire your hips it's like hitting the accelerator on a car. This would get the tilt you are after. The body tilt affects the path.
Then start working on your hips:

@@paulwilsongolf - Thank you for all those Paul. Great content & explanations.
One more question- would it be better to do the hip turn drill in golf posture instead of standing upright ?
Thanks !
Glad you like the tips. Thanks for the support. I would be doing the drills both upright and tilted. It's all about getting a feel for the moves. This drill would probably be better standing upright. Although I keep telling people to do daily practice swings then don't. So for someone not doing swings at home they could literally stand up and do some drills without a club. Seems like you want to work on it so try both with and without a club and keep doing it until you have that thing you are working on mastered. If so, the payoff is huge.
I have fallen aches which makes it very difficult to get a full hip turn on the down swing. I experimented with your advice this morning and found that flaring my right foot out to 45 degrees or maybe even a little more, really helped me get a nice full turn through impact. Does that make sense to do? It was the only way I could get my hips perpendicular to the alignment Rod you show.
Well if you have a physical issue then I am fine with experimenting as to what will work. It's people that don't have issues that try to do things they shouldn't be doing I have a problem with. So turning the foot out definitely gets you turning back better. I have no problem if you want to keep doing it.
Great video. I would like to know how to do that keeping head steady. That's what is confusing me. Any drills for that? Thanks Paul
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Why are you trying to keep your head steady? You need to move your head in the golf swing. Watch:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks for replying Paul! The steady head I think throws alot of players off. I appreciate the videos and I'm very excited about working on my new golf swing now thanks to you. Your a great instructor and I love your channel. Many thanks 👍 cheers;)
Yeah, got to allow the head to move with the coil. In no other sport do you keep your head still.
your swing reminds me of Colin Montgomery's ...and that's a good thing
Well, not sure about that. He is kind of a lateral guy. I saw a swing of his the other day. Looked like the head is way out side his hands not at halfway back. Thought that was interesting. Why change it? He was/is a great player.
Why this need to compare ?
He just saw something in my swing. I see other similarities to other pros too.
Thanks finally i got my arms out of my swing
This is what I want to hear. Now you will have a swing for life.
Great tip...... are you consciously posting up on your left leg a split second before you rotate through?........ it seems like posting up is a big part of that whipping action thru impact ..........thanks Paul
Sometimes. I am changing my swing a little now with a more left sided trigger and some other things. From time to time I get severe right hip pain due to teeing up golf balls for students for 29 years. So I do that and will be doing it more. So I am still coiling and loading to the right instep but instead of pushing as hard as I was from the right instep I will be straightening the left leg as more of a trigger. I do teach this to those who are left sided. I really don't like it for me but I don't think I have a choice.
@@paulwilsongolf ......very interesting, I'm a lefty but I play golf right-handed.... I guess maybe that's why that post up really works for me. One thing for sure , learning how to take the arms out of the swing has really helped me a lot. Make your students tee up their own balls!......thanks alot
Problem with that it some of these people are shaking so bad or can't bend over so we'd only hit 3 balls and hour. I have changes to make and little time to do it. You gotta do what you gotta do. I need one of those automatic ones.
Paul, great video, are you pushing off the ground with the trail foot??
This certainly is a downswing trigger. I did this for about 40 years. About 3-4 years ago I have been experiencing pain in my right hip from behind and teeing up millions of golf balls for my students so I am no longer pushing. I am changing my trigger. You can push or try something else. Up to you.
@@paulwilsongolf Ok, I’ll be nosy, what is your trigger? Is it just twisting the hip like you showed in the video??
...you did a instructional video 4 years ago about ‘quick’ hip move practice... a repetitive hip ‘thrust’ practice....an absolute must to create lower body first move feel...and now this video is the logical extension ( no pun ) of that move...where , if you start properly, you can finish properly, with your lead cheek showing....you can see exactly what you are talking about by watching those 105 pound young girls on the LPGA blast drives 280+...
Yes, this would be a good one to go along with that. Here are a few more:

When you do this drill do you do it on a golf stance or standing vertical?
Start vertically to understand it. If you want to tilt then try it.
Hey Paul. I love the feeling of "no arms" arms in the downswing. Feels fast and effortless.
But I don't like it in the backswing, it feels too loose and "unstructured" as if the club is lagging behind the hands on the takeaway. Do you have any tips for that?
Thanks
Glad you like the effortless swing. I actually like that lagging feeling but you certainly don't have to do that. Powerless arms is in the downswing not the backswing. You need to set the backswing then turn the arms off. You might be too loose. Here is a takeaway tip: th-cam.com/video/TFjh9dGkZXA/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for the quick reply Paul and thanks for reaffirming my thoughts. Setting the backswing with some wrist structure and then turn it loose. I need to find a happy medium on my takeaway.
Thanks again!
Very good. A little work to do.
Hey Paul.... great drill.... I am sliding my hips inconsistently causing me to hit it fat at times. Is there a different drill to stop sliding hips? Or, is this drill the key to stopping what I am doing?
You need to think TURN not SHIFT as you start down. Right now you have too much lateral not enough rotation. When you finish your swing your lead leg would be locked dead straight. This tip will help for sure.
Also watch these:
th-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/hAZyQXoIGac/w-d-xo.html
Use this trigger:
th-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/w-d-xo.html
Question: is the rotation simply a quick turn of the hips or, is it driven by a thrust of the right leg pushing off the turf or, does it matter as long as you get the hips to rotate fully through?
It is up to you. Quick hips is vital. You can use the ground or not. If you are just using the hips this doesn't mean you are going to do it flat footed. You are allowing the back foot to be pulled off the ground due to the bodies rotation. I teach different triggers for different people. Not everyone is the same. Some are right sided while others are left sided. You need to try a bunch and see what works for you.
Great tip !!!! i do have one question , should i turn my hip first than chest and shoulder or should i turn my hip chest shoulder all at same time ?
Forget your shoulders. You are doing nothing with them. You are firing the lower body which will uncoil the upper on its own.
I get hip turn but it's late or my hands are early, however you want to look at it.
Any drill on fixing that?
Do I just let my hips turn my hands?
Need some help on that timing. Thx
Right. The problem is you haven't mastered spin so the ball could literally go anywhere. I just posted this. Understand what I am saying in this tip. If so, you can dial it in:
th-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/w-d-xo.html
When do you drop the club when u rotate the hips? Is it delay hit?
Your arms are powerless at the top. Do you fire the lower and the arms follow. You are not delaying anything. Watch:
th-cam.com/video/SgZ94B93w4o/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/7CXQrfg7Bzw/w-d-xo.html
As regards hips in downswing i used to fire right side as a lot of teachers say,now i,m thinking rotate lead hip belt buckle to target,which is more reliable.S/J/
You can do what works for you. This is why I teach 6 different triggers.
Paul do you pull thu with left shoulder ot bouth
In no way do you need to think shoulders in the downswing. Legs and hips only. The upper will follow perfectly if you do it right.
Love Paul Wilson and I request all my students to subscribe to his TH-cam station.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
This is the key to length on my opinion
It sure is.
Best one liner! You got to see the cheek!!!😂
That's a big one for sure.
Paul, any tips for losing tush line? When I turn my hips they go in towards the ball no matter what I do? I'm losing my mind over it. I have your golf machine video series. Still struggling with it.
I do it a little too (especially with driver). I have worked on it but still do it. I probably hit 80% - 90% fairways so is that really going to make any difference to my game? Plus, when I have worked on it I get this tilted swing which hurts my back. I have tried many different things to fix it but no I don't care about it (there are tons of old school pros who do this too).
You can work on this position: th-cam.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/w-d-xo.html
Another fix that helped me is to make sure the left cheek is turning at impact. So set up a camera and turn your hips making sure you see this cheek at impact. Not a sliver of it. You need to see a lot of it from down the line. Try this but really I would be working on this if you already have a half decent swing. If your swing needs work, there are more important things to be working on. Get the swing meaning: loose hinge and rehinge, powering the swing with the lower body with the arms turned off. Maintaining spine angle.
Okay, just figured an easy solution at the range today. Give this a try and let me know if it fixes you. Then I will test on others and see if it works. Here is what I did. I checked out old video of my swing. No real early extension. Back then I did a way taller set up. So I was working on getting back to my old set up. Not sure why I didn't see it but I have been overhanging my toe line a little. As soon as I did and hit shots the EE was gone with irons and almost gone with driver. So think about it. EE has you lifting up. What would you do if you were too tilted at setup? You would want to stand up. What if you stood up at set up so it felt like in order to hit the ball you would have to go down. So low = tall and tall = low. So as you set up go down like you are sliding down inside a cylinder. Hands up high to accommodate it. Should feel weird and very tall. Now hit a ball. In order to do so you will have to lower because you are already standing up. Give this a try and let me know how you do. Really looking for a super simple fix to help people doing this.
@@paulwilsongolf makes sense. So less knee bend therefore less torso tilt at address. I've heard some instructors say it allows you to intuitively "go get the ground" in translation. So you get a natural squat (without tyring--your mind knows what to do). I'll try this tomorrow after work. I'll let you know how it works. Tall=low.
A little unlocking of the knees. It's really the upper body that you want taller. So lift your club up as you stand in a taller set up. Let me know how you do.
@@paulwilsongolf ok Paul, put it into play on the range today. As expected, it felt really awkward. Results were mixed. Went back to half speed swings and pause at the top swings and hit several really compressed balls. I'll have to work on it for several sessions but I feel it was a positive start. Full speed swings were way out of balance and finishes were not good. Could not touch shaft to back of head. However, when I went half speed and paused at the top of backswing, the finishes were much better and close to in balance. I'll keep you posted.
Sir only thing u have not said how to maintain spine angle? When i move hips quick my spine angle changes drastically and i stand up. And i top the ball.Any drill to keep yourself down through the swing? No one talks about.
Well, I talk about in this tip:

Do you post up in the body swimg
You sure do: th-cam.com/video/RvRw2-c-l8M/w-d-xo.html
Just don't jump.
Where is the club and arms are when hip is rotating faster?
Not sure what this means? Where are they in the downswing? You hit the top fully coiled and fully hinged. You fire the hips first. By the time your hips turn back to the ball your lead arm would be parallel to the ground. Watch:
