Very simple yet very powerful lesson here. It's not really a "tip" this gentleman is providing here. It's more of a "gift". I'm a scratch golfer and if you were to listen to no other golf instruction EVER for the rest of your life, you're going to do just fine if you keep working on what he says in this 10 minute clip and then keep building on it. So many instructors over complicate the swing and confuse people with their teachings. People leave feeling that the pro is blessed and they could never do this and they feel the teacher means well but is simply way more talented at golf than you'll ever be. NOT TRUE. Many golf pros don't know how to teach. This one is crystal clear in communicating, tells the simple TRUTH, and if you can just believe that's it's really not that complicated then it'll work. If you are looking for some long technical explanation for how the golf swing works then go elsewhere and keep being confused. No joke. Paul obviously cares or he wouldn't share this video. Nice of him. Many of you have no idea the power of what he's saying here. Don't dismiss this video.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you picked up on that. Years ago when I was learning the swing I made it complicated. It got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Simple is the key for sure. I have always thought this way. If you understand it, then you will see the importance and actually do it.
Extremely helpful comment Alex particularly from someone of your handicap ability!. This completely vindicates my own thoughts-albeit I am a mediocre golfer! Going elsewhere has resulted in my becoming totally confused. Not any more!
Couldn’t agree more!! I’ve played golf since I was 6 and even played NCAA golf. Not one person has ever came close to what I’ve picked up just watching Paul!! I wish he was my uncle 😅
This is one of the best golf tips I have ever watched on TH-cam. A lot of golfers me included have long struggled with the arms being far to fast for the lower body in the down swing. This bit of advice you have given has cured that problem. When I get to the top of my swing now my first trigger thought is buckle which makes me rotate lower body and everything else falls into place. Thanks Paul from a UK fan 👍
For sure. You need a thought. Something from the waist down that will get your body moving. It will not move on its own no matter what anyone says. If it did everyone would be good. Fire the lower and let the arms follow. Do that and you hit it dead straight. Good job.
Paul, I took this to the range today, just got back and ran up here to tell you...HOLY CRAP unbelievable how far and straight EVERY ball went!!! So excited, you're the man, man!!!
1 @user-bd7px7cl7l.....so you're telling the world that you tried this and really gave the " bazeball" swing a chance and it didn't work for you ? Please post the links to YOUR videos so that the rest of us can learn you're method. Thank you !
I can testify that Paul Wilson's philosophy 100% works. What helped me personally master it, was standing up straight with the golf club held out in front of me and then rotating just my shoulders (ie keeping arms powerless) for the backswing and then rotating hips (again keeping arms powerless) for the downswing. This really gets you feeling the body doing the work in your swing, not your arms. Then I do one more practice swing with my upper body tilted and club in the air, repeating the same movement. Then, I go ahead and hit the ball with the same movement. The only other things I focus on is making sure I rotate my shoulders as far as possible on the backswing and ensuring I have hinged my wrists at the top of the swing. I then have a momentary pause at the top of the swing and let my lower body rip. It works, trust me! Thanks for saving my game Paul.
Yes, if you shift and lean left. No one is doing or teaching that around here. You turn. Watch: th-cam.com/video/Kk63_fYSAMg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/98O9NiasUNM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html
I’m 72 years old when I’m playing well I’m a 8 handicap when I’m not it’s a 15, it always comes down to transition I get arm happy so this is a great tip, I’ve dumped all my other golf videos and only watch yours you make golf simple
Thanks for the support. You need to stay focused and not get greedy. This is tough but if you see it clearly you will know that hitting hard is not going to give you any more distance and it increases the chance of mishits. Be content with the center of the fairway all day long. As I said in a previous tip, confidence breeds distance. You keep hitting fairway after fairway you will start hitting it longer due to confidence without even thinking about it.
Yet another great video from the master! I've been following your advice for several months now and have become a total convert. I'm 82 years old with an index of 20.1. Yet, using your techniques, I shot 80 at Four Mile Ranch two days ago and 83 today at Murphy Creek. I expected to hit the ball farther using the body instead of my arms but I am very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to hit the ball straighter as well. Just as an aside, I find that turning my hips as you prescribe is difficult but can be done with some effort and training. The hardest part for me is not letting the arms help in any way at all. In tense situations they want to jump in and "add" some help. And why not? That's how I did it over over 60 years!
Thanks so much. Nice round. Now that is a huge improvement. When you are ready start firing the lower body faster. This is how to get more. I would do this when you have more low 80's under your belt. Glad you know not to use your arms. I still tell myself to not do that.
I'm beginners at golf.... paul wilson tips Is amazing. Every time i have problem about golf i only watch this person. Thank you so much for the incredible tips ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hit the top with your weight loaded 80/20 into the back foot. Turn back to the ball. When you do you will be back to 50/50 Once you get to 50/50 and are facing the ball you keep turning. Belt buckle will end up left of the target when you are done. So no, you are not spinning out. th-cam.com/video/Kk63_fYSAMg/w-d-xo.html
Paul, this is the best tip. I practice it at home and I have tried it on the course, it has given amazing results. I need to practice to become good at kicking my legs and hips harder in the down swing to get longer distance. Accuracy has already improved. Thanks a lot for your excellent lessons.
Yes, this is a big one for sure. You need to do this every day for a while until you get used to it. Do it along with this drill: th-cam.com/video/LAejvDbw_aA/w-d-xo.html If you do, you will hit it longer than every. I hand it to people on a silver platter yet they don't do the work. You get this and you will hit it better than you ever have. Stay focused and stay loose.
I have been struggling for years with how to start the downswing. Paul’s simple and straightforward instruction is spot on. I went to the range today and hit more solid shots with all clubs in the bag than ever before. I have been a 5 handicap most of my career. Now I believe that I can go to scratch. Thanks Paul!
Hi Paul, another great tip/lesson. I have a quick question though, I have videoed my swing and find that even with my hip rotation I am getting the club above my back forearm on the way down (steep). Is there a way to shallow this out without manipulation? On the way back my hands are in line with my arm pit, my grip is neutral and my wrist is flat. Any advice would be great, thanks.
Hello from Nova Scotia, golf is back! I'm 70 and I took a couple of tips, yes gifts, and put them in place. Just changing my grip to neutral made a big difference. I am now working on my setup and using my hips and legs. It almost makes you swing slower and smoother. The best instruction I have ever seen anywhere. I can't wait to see where I'm at in a couple of months. Thanks so much. P.s. I love your straight forward method, anyone can understand the lessons. Great,!
Paul, This is the miracle one for me, after years of watching videos of people talking about lightbulb moments.I have tried everything trying to cure my slice. Just hit 50 balls at the range and honestly, I didn't hit one slice using this (so it's obvious what I have been doing for years) also I was hitting my 3 wood off the mat further than I usually hit driver. The sound was incredible. I am going to do more and more practise on your teachings and cannot thank you enough for getting me on the right road. AT LAST I AM USING MY HIPS CORRECTLY!
can't stop watching these vids, i'm a total beginner (also rather unathletic) and yet doing the belt-buckle and wrist-opening drills i was actually able to play with longtime golf-playing associates... short game will be next to study, but at least i had working driver/irons shots... the observations of how that 'swing machine' maps to a human golfer was biomechanial genius, man...
Glad you found me. Glad you like my instruction. Just years of keeping it simple so people actually get it. Then hopefully they try it. Once they see results hopefully they keep doing it. Keep at it.
Paul, I tried your lag drill tip and in about 15 min I was able to add 10 yards to each iron and 15 more yards of carry to my driver... Best tip ever... I feel like I owe you some money...lol Thank you!!
OMG. Whoever said it was a gift was certainly right. I am the original ground scraper, and this tip has me hitting it pure and firing darts. Only problem is I have to dial back about 10% to have the same distances until I figure it out. Thanks so much.
For sure. It's truly mind boggling that people are not even thinking of using their lower body to hit the ball. Now you have a trigger. Just realize it is for life. Every shot from this point forward is hit with this thought. There are others too but if this one is working keep doing it. Glad you found me. I trying to swing at 80%. Anything above that is a gray area where the ball can go anywhere.
Each and every word is true, except elders in their late 70s and 80s, even for elders keeping the same routine, game will be great and enjoyable. Before you start, do exactly what Paul is telling, take practice swings and you will enjoy your golf. The most hardest swing in bunker, Paul is the only answer in the world. Thanks and God bless Paul.
Anyone can do this. Just need to do it a different way. You need super loose wrists. You don't have to be strong to be loose. So as I said anyone can do it. Got to trust the sensation of being loose. Once you get that you hit it by coiling and uncoiling your body. In simple terms that it. So please give it a try. At some point you have to realize hitting hard DOES NOT work and never will.
Thanks Paul..........your videos make a difference in my understanding of the golf swing. So many of the instructors out here overcomplicate things, and even though they may be 100% correct in what they are saying. If I can't relate or understand what they are talking about , it has zero value to me. Your videos are easy to comprehend and are well explained. That is characteristic of all good teachers! Thanks so much!
This over complication has been around for years. This is what I did many years ago and it got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Knowing this, had me thinking "fast and easy" from lesson 1 over 31 years ago. So this is why I say things the way I say them. So many people have commented they they get it when I explain it. This is half the battle. Thanks for your support.
Paul. Showed my friend this video. He came joint first in our society meeting with 40 Stableford points - losing out on count back. The winner had a hole in one! I only came 4th, but beat my handicap! 🤩
Skip Walker - after years of golf instruction I subscribed to your program. In spite of being told before not to swing with my arms, I could never implement a lower body swing. Your program has significantly improved my game. It’s a continuous learning process and I look forward to your tips.
I'm a beginner and just trying to wrap my head around the mechanics of a swing. I'm so happy to have this to put a focal point what the hell you lower body should be doing. Thank you.
Glad you found me. This will save you years of whacking away at it with your arms. You need to watch more of my tips to get the concept. If it was as easy as whacking away at it everyone would be good. Few are. Those few learned as kids. Kids have minimal arm strength do from ball one they learned to use their body not the arms to hit the ball.

New to golf, been playing a year with a bit of Covid disruption and I am all arms, so to see this video has been a massive eye opener. Will try and start thinking about my lower half more. Very clear and concise tip, thanks and great work
Glad it helped. This is a huge key especially if you are new to playing golf. Most golfers keep hitting with the arms for years and never improve yet every good player uses their lower body to power the swing. If you can keep this thought in mind you will improve super fast and not develop the bad habits on the majority of golfers.
What a fantastic tip - this takes a lot of "hit the ball" thoughts out. The ball all of a sudden just gets in the way of my swing. Produces much more consistent shots. No more left to left shots either! A miracle
after the worst round I can remember , where I struggled with "swinging my arms hard", I came home and found a book I had got from my dads collection after he passed away, "Swing Machine Golf". Read most of it last night and watched a couple of your TH-cam videos today. I"m going to completely re-work my swing and thought process based on your teaching method. Have a net and mat in my backyard and going to begin with grip and the 2/3 drill, albeit I dont have a swing monitor, and then go to the driving range with my rangefinder and continue. Really excited about my future golf now.!!
So glad you found me and are willing to change. Your dad was a smart man and was definitely onto something! Stay focused. Follow each lesson carefully. Do lots of practice swings too not just ball after ball into the net. It's all about the movement. So start seeing I differently and stay focused. You will start seeing amazing, effortless shots in no time.
I went from shooting 90 to high 70s over the summer. Then my driver has all of a sudden got a fade to it and top. I have a lesson Wednesday to see what's going on but in my videos I have taken of myself I noticed I have sudden started a over the top motion due to my right knee getting in the way and not clearing. This may just be what I need to help that out. Is it possible to hit a push draw from this?
Getting your arms & "hit" mantra out of your golf swing is like trying to get a dog not to bark at strangers......it still creeps in my minset on course....the way i overcome it is with 2 body swings practice swings in the air and swinging w/o thinking about anything but my belt bucke turning and finishing like this video and having my arms feel like ropes and loose wrists releading following those hips...it helps reset my mindset into the bodyswing mantra on every shot.....it takes probably a whole season and lots of practice swings to make this a permanaent change.....but ohhhh! So worth it!
Thank you so much. I have quite a few students in South Africa. I was almost born there too. I keep it simple. I say things in certain ways on purpose so people will understand it. That's half the battle. You need to understand how it fits in the whole picture. Once you do, you will keep doing it. Keep at it and you will be playing your best golf in no time. Please subscribe if you haven't done so already.
I'm on a golfing journey this winter in terms of teaching myself the right way after realising I'm not going to get lower than my 15hcp with my own self taught swing, which is all arms, very short on the back swing and all so so rushed... ... between constant practice, lessons and your videos which break everything down so well and to a level I understand... I'm slowly slowly getting there. The penny is dropping and il get there of it kills me... Thanks Paul 👍🏼
Yes, working on it yourself rarely works. Glad you see it sooner rather than later and are going to understand it and work on it a little differently. This is actually not that hard to build a great swing if you know what you are doing. I took a student from 95 to 75 in 2 months and he never hit one practice ball. I literally gave him a 10 mins lesson per week showing him one thing to work on. Then he did in only in practice swings. Without the ball he wasn't using his arms to hit hard. He got used to the moves and positions without distractions. So when you say contact practice you need to not hit ball after ball. You need to do more practice swings working on precise positioning vs beating balls. Not sure if you have my Body Swing videos or not. There I show the exact positions and how to put them together step-by-step. If not you can use the tips but I don't give everything away here. So hit less balls. Do more practice swings working on precise positions like a pro or better player would be working on it. At a 15 hdcp your swing needs work for sure. You can still play and work on your short game too.
Yes, it is. So glad you tried it. You move the body first before the arms and your whole game changes. I love it when the playing partners see it. This means you are getting it. Now, keep doing it ... forever.
Wow. Thanks for making it simple Paul. This single tip replaced multiple swing thoughts and attempted manoeuvres I had and corrected (or at least improved) some of my problems - weight shift, jumping/chicken wing, casting/over-the-top swing.
Yes, this is a good one for sure. Most of my students do this. It's just such an easy thought. You definitely don't want to be thinking of too many things. Keep it simple and stay focused.
So, I have been watching videos to improve my swing. short irons improving, long irons not. swing even though improved still feeling 'natural'. This tip, trying at home outside, absolutely feels game changing. We shall see at the range today.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/kCSoZGENOYg/w-d-xo.html Yes, you need to get the lower body powering the swing. This is the most popular trigger with my students so definitely try it after you watch the tip I just sent you.
Great drill Paul....... it's really amazing how this stuff is more psychological than it is physical..... it's actually pretty easy to do these moves , the hard part is convincing yourself to do it........ I think you're more my therapist than you are my coach.....thanks
Well said, the hard part is convincing yourself to do it ON THE COURSE, I revert back to old habits on the course, it pisses me off. Scared of going wrong wrong.
Yes. My problem too! It can feel so effortless in practice but hard to replicate on the course because you worry about your score and manipulate the club instead of swinging it with loose arms and wrists. Maybe have to get on the course more often vs practice? Don't worry about score. Handicap.Mental battle as well as physical. Part of it is when it works you're thinking to yourself it can't be this easy and try to incorporate other moves like the pros make but I think their swing types are not compatible with Paul's method.
You need to go out by yourself with 3 golf balls in your pocket. You don't keep score. You swing at 50%. Drop balls and hit extra shots. It is about actually trying something new when you play. If you keep doing your old swing when do you ever change. With driver you pick a close target a few yards away or way way way in the distance that you cannot possibly reach. You cannot pick a fairway bunker at 250. This is a distance thought. So with new targets your thought to hit the fairway not hit it 250 down the fairway. Keep doing this by yourself until you get used to it. Right now if you play with others you will think distance and you will hit some bad shots. So try my way and get make the switch. Tons of pro do what I teach (old school). The new swing they are working on is not dominating and never will. Who is #1 right now? Scheffler (old school swing). How did the best of all time swing? Until the new swing (which I tried over 20 years ago which killed my back and I couldn't keep it out of the parking lot to the right) dominates I will never teach this swing. Stay focused. Sounds like you are close but you need to keep repeating it. So do practice swings daily at home. This is the fastest, easiest way to get it.
After a disastrous session at the driving range (right, left, fat, thin, shanks, smothers), I watched about 7 of Paul’s videos. The next day I went back to the range, mostly focusing on the drill in this video, and I was hitting the ball much more solid, most consistently, and farther! Can’t wait to try it out on the golf course next time! Thanks, Paul!
Very good. Just loosen up and get the body powering the swing. If so, you will hit it amazingly well. Too many people want to just keep hitting with the arms. Just have to see it differently. Glad you caught it and watched the tips to get back on track. Keep at it.
Very good. It's a start. Just keep at it. Do these: th-cam.com/video/LAejvDbw_aA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1EC_zeepcr8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ZqWds1wUiTo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html
So true that arm swing is not the golf swing that I strived for but it was so difficult to change my mindset. Now I understand that distance and consistency is created by the rotation of the lower body. Heard that was “All Arms” for 25 yrs but never understood what that meant until your videos woke me up. I can never thank you enough.
Yes, plenty of teachers out there who think that. They seems to be coming around now as they have know found that using the ground forces is the way to go. Glad you see it and are trying to use your body. It is new and different so it will take a while to make the switch. Do tons of practice swings at home daily. This is what I do.
@@paulwilsongolf when I get up to tee off I think “swing” not “hit the ball”.Don’t think about hitting the ball. Works for me. Paul your videos tell it all every detail, others do not. Big difference!
Ok, this guy is the best I've found online for teaching us how to swing better. I've bought into what he's saying and have noticed an improvement. MUCH easier to hit the ball! It takes a bit of practice to take the arms out of the swing but it does come with time, practice and patience.
Thank so much. Simple is the key. You make this difficult and you will never get it. I teach a different way that's for sure so people just need to keep doing it for a little while. If they do they see amazing effortless shots like you are.
Good stuff Paul. I am a retired PGA pro and do enjoy your “tips” and methods of instruction. I saw your bunker lesson with ball opposite the left ankle and used it to quit decelerating. It worked well. Sometimes we have to think differently to help execute a shot.
Yes, so few amatuers turn their hips at all. no joke this this what separates pros from ams. Get this and you take you game to a whole new level. Watch: th-cam.com/video/ya6ac-BuNhk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much. Simple is the key and the way I have been teaching it for 30 years. Make it too complicated and no one will understand or do it. Glad you found me.
@@paulwilsongolf I’m 68, back issues, cancer and hadn’t played in 2 years. I’m now eating up ur videos because u make so much sense. I can hit a driver again, my swing is more controlled with irons but I’m still having trouble with weight on my back foot. I’m workin on it! Wish I was in Vegas, I’d b bangin on ur door.
Glad you are getting back into it. This swing is so easy on your body but we have to get you to learn it. Sounds like it is coming along nicely. The weight on the back foot is an issue. Just focus on getting up on the very tip of your back big toe at the end of the swing. I show the position in the free samples of The Body Swing I teach. The email comes about 6 days or so after you sign up so if you want the exact position you can sign up here. If not, then as I said just roll up onto the very tip of the toe. This takes practice to get the balance. paulwilsongolf.com/freesamples
@@paulwilsongolf Paul, I’ve seen that video. In fact I’ve seen them all I believe. Going to range right now with my son. Our range is next to an airport. My fear is I hit incoming planes:):):). Thank u, ur the best and I will b downloading your stuff.
I have been watching golf videos for a long time. Your tips makes the most sense to me. As I recover from rotator cuff surgery, I have been practicing the hip turns at home. Your concept of swinging with your body vs. the arms is an eye opener for me. Hopefully, it will translate into results when I can play again next spring.
Thanks so much. I try to say things in ways it registers for people. If you don't get it why would you do it? Glad you are trying it. Keep doing the drills etc. over the winter at home so you will have it when the season starts.

I'm a little late to the party here but I just recently filmed myself hitting shots into a net and discovered that I am basically in the same position at impact, that I am at address. In other words, I am not using my lower body very much at all and this off season, it is my goal to find the easiest way to start down this path, without having to start all over again learning the game. I really hope this helps me but I won't know until my next trip to the dome! Thanks for posting!
You are not alone. This has to be 80-90% of everyone I teach. Now you see it you need to get to work on it. Do this drill and video your swing as I show. When you do you will see that you are now in the right position. So you need to do this drill thousands of times to get it into your swing. So hit few balls and spent your time on the drill: th-cam.com/video/THm6SktFifk/w-d-xo.html Also watch: th-cam.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ZqWds1wUiTo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/3HuV7bMXB4c/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/M58vf3LMwR0/w-d-xo.html
I wish I'd learned this so much sooner. It could almost be called golf's "golden rule" or "magic move". It's so important in achieving the correct sequence in the transition, allows for the correct impact position, and it actually makes the game less taxing on the body. It's takes some commitment, but it's oh so worth it.
Yes, using the legs and hips is the magic move. Most people are just whacking away at it. If that was the way to do it wouldn't most golfers be good? Until you learn to use the legs and hips you will always be spinning your wheels. It does take understanding and practice.
I'm going to give this a try. I'm really trying to get my arms relaxed, but still failing to start the downswing with my lower body on alot of shots. Great tip!
Try coasting to a stop at the top, start turning the belt buckle turning towards the hole and start the hands by dropping them towards the ground which keeps the shoulders and head back.
Brilliant!! I've tried 1,000 different thoughts to start my swing but this never occurred to me. One practice session with this thought and I'm VERY encouraged. Occasionally get it fat or too fadey, but I think I may be on to something. Thanks!!
Great. Understanding is half the battle. Once you understand it keep turning the arms off and make the legs and hips the power source. After you keep seeing great shots with minimal effort you will keep doing it forever.
Right. A downswing trigger is for life. So it if you make it important and know it is what is causing you to hit good shots you should want to be doing it ... for life.
Yep. Head this a million times and have gotten countless people hitting it great who took a break. Super loose wrists a d fire the legs and hips. In no time you will be hitting it great again too.
I think this swing thought very power full and the best ever tip from you.i try it yesterday and the result make me very satisfy.thank you mr paul.you are the best instructor.
That’s why I luv u. Dude you changed my swing. It’s taking some time but game changer babe!!! BTW I now have a follow through and hold. Thank you 🇯🇲👊🏾🇺🇸
So glad you're doing well. That's what it's all about. You did the work now you get the payoff. Keep up the good work. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already. Thanks.
Paul I hook my hybrid off the face of the earth. I filmed my swing and realized I’m all arms. I went back to the range and made sure I started down by turning hips contact was so solid I heard the guy next to me say oh wow. Dead straight balls with a little fade I have never hit my hybrid straight!!!!! Thanks for the great tip...
Paul after a couple of months of practice and practice, finally I'm hitting the ball with lose wrists, my god what a differents, straighter and longer with hardly any effort, keep up with the great video's, people read this it does work, be patient, thanks Paul 👏👏
Paul I discovered you about a month ago, and it has helped me so much. I’m almost 70 and your effortless golf swing with loose arms and wrists with the hinge re-hinge and not hitting with your arms has helped tremendously. More solid straight shots. I had one pro that kept telling me I needed to get my weight to my left side which I understand that’s true , when you finish the swing, but I got so hung up on that I was all screwed up. With your teaching tips I now feel the weight of the club, and it feels more natural for the arms to follow the lower body to the finish! I’m excited to keep working with your tips. Thanks so much! You are the best!
Glad you found me. Glad you are doing well. Love hearing it. Yes getting the weight is important but if you are thinking about doing that from the top it's going to send you over the top. These guys see pros do that in video but they are watching it in slow mo. The time it takes to do that is a millisecond. Why not load to the right and unload to the left into the follow through. If so, the weight will shift because you can't to the left in the follow through without shifting. In other words it will happen without even thinking about it. Sounds like you are on track so keep doing what you are doing. Fun times ahead.
Glad you found me. I have helped countless people play pain free golf. A lot of it is hitting with the arms. Another issue is bending over too much at set up and through impact. This tip has you firing the lower body which you need to do to get the weight off the back foot while swinging through into the follow through. So all good things. As for the set up think about basketball. Someone is going to throw you a ball. You are in a ready position looking at the person going to throw it. Put your hands together then start looking down until you can see the club and ball clearly not your toes. If you see your toes you are too low. This will get you taller and it's easy to check. Now as you go to hit balls you will probably hit it thin or even top it for 5 mins. Start with 7-iron and tee it up. If you do you will get used to the taller set up and will be hitting it perfectly in no time. Then lower the tee.
Totally agree - this isn’t a tip - it’s a lesson, you can tell he does it for the genuine pleasure of sharing knowledge to prove it works - I love that feeling too where you know something and can show someone and get the satisfaction of seeing it prove you correct - what Paul is doing here is everything that the salesman “get the perfect swing and “secrets” advertises and purely wants to see finance and no interest in progress or results just the course fees. Good on you Paul I’m exactly the same - if I know something 100% correct that someone needs - I get the satisfaction of seeing my knowledge or info etc prove correct - I’d feel embarrassed asking for money! Hopefully just doing the subscription and the ads can pay the way you deserve! The only question/slight niggle in the mind is your address position , the hands seem very floppy and not ahead of the ball and stable for an iron - do you do this for a reason - after all if it’s me who’s looking wrongly then I’ll adjust to improve!! A true person is someone who can self assess regularly and listen to all information and use what’s helpful and discard what isn’t - I come across so many stubborn people that won’t change that would benefit them because they’re so adamant they won’t consider it? For me surely if someone has something that I don’t and can be beneficial why would I not use it to better myself? Seems strange people would actually sabotage and dismiss info that would change them for better but they won’t use it because it means admitting what they believed in blindly was wrong and so would rather stay wrong than change? Very strange, for me your lesson is nothing but useful information to compute and I thank you for it 👍. P.S I live in the UK , i am a fully qualified electrician aswell as Solar PV installer and EV charging installer - qualified certificates for all, my dream has been to live and work in the USA, I’ve never been but it feels like a home I’m due to come back to, it’s just impossible to get in!!! So if anyone reading this has any job vacancy at all even mowing lawns just to get me across the pond then I’m very interested!!
Thanks for the comment and noticing I actually care. People seem to be struggling out there and still being confused. I will keep it simple and hopefully people can start playing better. I don't set the club behind the ball because I don't want to touch the ball. I am also not taking it back with my hands because I don't want to activate them as I go back. You can try it. Yes, it is super tough to get in here. I did it 20 years ago this year and never looked back. I would look into the Solar path given the new bill that just passed there will be many jobs in this field which I highly doubt they will be able to fill. Just go onto the gov website. That's what I did. I did it all myself. If not find an immigration attorney.
Thank you sir. You have just confirmed my curiosity, yesterday I did something with my body and the light bulb 💡 came on. This was before I watched your video, now I am very sure of what I'm doing. Thanks for helping find my swing. I cant wait to go hit a few balls tomorrow 😌
First, thank you Paul for your video help! I have been struggling this year with my swing for whatever reason. I am 57 and up till last year carried a 12 HC. This year started coming over the top and shanking my fair share of shot(something i never had an issue in the past). I know that starting with the lower body will correct my issues but having a hard time with it. I will go home later today and work on this. Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Well, you need to do something because over the top is hitting with arms. Shanking is arms too. So you need to get them turned off asap. Hopefully, you know my technique. Neutral grip. Taller set up. Coil and hinge going back ... uncoil and rehinge coming down. You are not hitting or helping the shot in any way with you arms. Typically I work on the arm unit first. Neutral grip then hinge and rehinge. Get it hooking by rolling from the top. This is fixing the SPIN. Once you can consistently hook about 5-10 in a row you then switch to firing your lower body to start to straighten it out. You add a little body to make it go a little less left. Watch your ball. Keep firing the lower harder and harder until it goes dead straight. Fire too hard you blow it right so you need to slow down. Keep watching your ball. It will tell you exactly what to do. Keep the arms relaxed and wrists super loose. I would do this drill too. I call it taming the wild stallion (you): th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you sir! I will start on this today! You are the only online coach im watching now because you keep it simple and explain so well. Thanks again!
Yes, let's get you back. Shouldn't take much but you need to do it a little differently. Do daily practice swings at home. This is the fastest way to get it. Once a week is not going to cut it. Thanks for following me. We certainly don't want confusion. You've got this.
I love this. Though I'm finding out how inflexible I am. When I've played my best it's staying with the single thought of starting the lower body first on downswing. Thank you for this drill.
This is a huge piece of the swing for sure. Definitely the missing link between pros and ams. I promote very few training aids. Recently I found one for hip rotation that I really like. You may want to try it: www.paulwilsongolf.com/speed-core-golf Otherwise just keep watching my hip tips: www.youtube.com/@paulwilsongolf/search?query=hips
Glad I found you Paul, I have extremely bad elbow tendinitis from ‘hitting at’ the ball. Leaving me almost unable to play. I am going to make it through all of your instructional videos to hopefully remedy this issue. Really love the belt buckle to the ball drill, really feels good. Going to go out and hit a few today, swinging full but 50% distance with a belt buckle thought. I need to work on the body rotation to hit with my body and not my arms! Thank you for these, really appreciate it.
This pain is telling you that you are hitting for sure. Glad you see it now. In no way should my swing hurt your body. If so, you are doing it wrong. So loosen the arms to allow the weight of the club to stretch them out. So hinge and rehinge to get the wrists unlocked. Loosen the arms to get them extending and coil uncoil to power your swing. This is all a good start.
I’m going to try to this tomorrow at the range. I’m at my wits end with my golf swing. Need a total re-evaluation. Starting watching your videos. Fingers crossed 🤞

I hit two buckets at the range today to work on slowing my tempo - which has resulted in much better consistency. Before I started watching Paul, hitting that many golf balls would have left me with a strained and sore back. Now my back feels fine, but my legs and hips definitely feel it. I believe that's a good thing.
Very good. This is how you know you are doing it right. You should not be in pain swinging a golf club. Great feeling when you have no pain. It means you will be able to do it forever.
"You have to replace the thought of hitting with another thought." The ultimate key to change. If you truly want to transform your swing, you must embrace this concept. It facilitates everything else. Thanks, Paul.
Exactly. The problem in golf is that no matter how bad you are if you hit enough balls you will hit a few good ones. So what do people think? They think they've got it when really it was luck. So unless people hit the majority of their shots well they don't have it. To get it you can't keep thinking of the same things as you always have. So change the thought and you change your swing.
Another great tip, thank you Paul. I love the way you teach. I practice your tips every day 10 15 minutes in the garden and I've really improved my game. I'm more confident by now but I must still improve my rotation. This tip will help me for sure. Thank you so much for helping our game.
Fantastic! It's great when I here someone actually doing practice swings at home. This is the fastest, easiest way to to work on your swing. Keep at it.
Wonderful advice, I'm so looking forward to working on this at the range. Something tells me that this body movement will also help for the casting problem. Thank you so much Paul !
Here up north winter is coming soon but I can’t wait to try this tip next summer meanwhile I will try to practice it in the basement of the house, thank you for all your tips and drills
Winter is the best time to work on your swing. Do daily practice swings at home working on a few of the moves. Then when the season starts you will be playing great golf. Glad you have an area to do swings.
Very simple yet very powerful lesson here. It's not really a "tip" this gentleman is providing here. It's more of a "gift". I'm a scratch golfer and if you were to listen to no other golf instruction EVER for the rest of your life, you're going to do just fine if you keep working on what he says in this 10 minute clip and then keep building on it. So many instructors over complicate the swing and confuse people with their teachings. People leave feeling that the pro is blessed and they could never do this and they feel the teacher means well but is simply way more talented at golf than you'll ever be. NOT TRUE. Many golf pros don't know how to teach. This one is crystal clear in communicating, tells the simple TRUTH, and if you can just believe that's it's really not that complicated then it'll work. If you are looking for some long technical explanation for how the golf swing works then go elsewhere and keep being confused. No joke. Paul obviously cares or he wouldn't share this video. Nice of him. Many of you have no idea the power of what he's saying here. Don't dismiss this video.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you picked up on that. Years ago when I was learning the swing I made it complicated. It got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Simple is the key for sure. I have always thought this way. If you understand it, then you will see the importance and actually do it.
Extremely helpful comment Alex particularly from someone of your handicap ability!. This completely vindicates my own thoughts-albeit I am a mediocre golfer! Going elsewhere has resulted in my becoming totally confused. Not any more!
I agree 100%
I agree, I'm not the most competent golfer but Paul is a natural teacher and improving is the result. Going to really work on this lesson.
Couldn’t agree more!! I’ve played golf since I was 6 and even played NCAA golf. Not one person has ever came close to what I’ve picked up just watching Paul!! I wish he was my uncle 😅
This is one of the best golf tips I have ever watched on TH-cam. A lot of golfers me included have long struggled with the arms being far to fast for the lower body in the down swing. This bit of advice you have given has cured that problem. When I get to the top of my swing now my first trigger thought is buckle which makes me rotate lower body and everything else falls into place. Thanks Paul from a UK fan 👍
For sure. You need a thought. Something from the waist down that will get your body moving. It will not move on its own no matter what anyone says. If it did everyone would be good. Fire the lower and let the arms follow. Do that and you hit it dead straight. Good job.
Paul, I took this to the range today, just got back and ran up here to tell you...HOLY CRAP unbelievable how far and straight EVERY ball went!!! So excited, you're the man, man!!!
Very good. Now you see it. This is a turning point for you.
Paul Wilson Golf absolutely a turning point. This changes everything!!!
Too much is a bazeball swing
1
@user-bd7px7cl7l.....so you're telling the world that you tried this and really gave the " bazeball" swing a chance and it didn't work for you ?
Please post the links to YOUR videos so that the rest of us can learn you're method. Thank you !
I can testify that Paul Wilson's philosophy 100% works. What helped me personally master it, was standing up straight with the golf club held out in front of me and then rotating just my shoulders (ie keeping arms powerless) for the backswing and then rotating hips (again keeping arms powerless) for the downswing. This really gets you feeling the body doing the work in your swing, not your arms. Then I do one more practice swing with my upper body tilted and club in the air, repeating the same movement. Then, I go ahead and hit the ball with the same movement. The only other things I focus on is making sure I rotate my shoulders as far as possible on the backswing and ensuring I have hinged my wrists at the top of the swing. I then have a momentary pause at the top of the swing and let my lower body rip. It works, trust me! Thanks for saving my game Paul.
Thanks. That drill is a good one. Gets you turning not dipping the shoulders.
Will that steep the swing?
Yes, if you shift and lean left. No one is doing or teaching that around here. You turn. Watch:

I’m 72 years old when I’m playing well I’m a 8 handicap when I’m not it’s a 15, it always comes down to transition I get arm happy so this is a great tip, I’ve dumped all my other golf videos and only watch yours you make golf simple
Thanks for the support. You need to stay focused and not get greedy. This is tough but if you see it clearly you will know that hitting hard is not going to give you any more distance and it increases the chance of mishits. Be content with the center of the fairway all day long. As I said in a previous tip, confidence breeds distance. You keep hitting fairway after fairway you will start hitting it longer due to confidence without even thinking about it.
Yet another great video from the master! I've been following your advice for several months now and have become a total convert. I'm 82 years old with an index of 20.1. Yet, using your techniques, I shot 80 at Four Mile Ranch two days ago and 83 today at Murphy Creek. I expected to hit the ball farther using the body instead of my arms but I am very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to hit the ball straighter as well. Just as an aside, I find that turning my hips as you prescribe is difficult but can be done with some effort and training. The hardest part for me is not letting the arms help in any way at all. In tense situations they want to jump in and "add" some help. And why not? That's how I did it over over 60 years!
Thanks so much. Nice round. Now that is a huge improvement. When you are ready start firing the lower body faster. This is how to get more. I would do this when you have more low 80's under your belt. Glad you know not to use your arms. I still tell myself to not do that.
@@paulwilsongolf Older people - senior golfers - have trouble "firing" the lower body faster. It's a matter of flexibility, strength, and balance.
Great reminder for a great swing.
Glad you like it. This is such a huge part of the swing. Got to get the hips moving.
I'm beginners at golf.... paul wilson tips
Is amazing. Every time i have problem about golf i only watch this person.
Thank you so much for the incredible tips ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy to help. Glad you are doing well.
How are you turning belt buckle. I’m new also. I’m just spinning hips or am I pushing off back foot or what am I doing with feet?
Hit the top with your weight loaded 80/20 into the back foot. Turn back to the ball. When you do you will be back to 50/50 Once you get to 50/50 and are facing the ball you keep turning. Belt buckle will end up left of the target when you are done. So no, you are not spinning out.
th-cam.com/video/Kk63_fYSAMg/w-d-xo.html
Paul, this is the best tip. I practice it at home and I have tried it on the course, it has given amazing results. I need to practice to become good at kicking my legs and hips harder in the down swing to get longer distance. Accuracy has already improved. Thanks a lot for your excellent lessons.
Yes, this is a big one for sure. You need to do this every day for a while until you get used to it. Do it along with this drill:
th-cam.com/video/LAejvDbw_aA/w-d-xo.html
If you do, you will hit it longer than every. I hand it to people on a silver platter yet they don't do the work. You get this and you will hit it better than you ever have. Stay focused and stay loose.
I have been struggling for years with how to start the downswing. Paul’s simple and straightforward instruction is spot on. I went to the range today and hit more solid shots with all clubs in the bag than ever before. I have been a 5 handicap most of my career. Now I believe that I can go to scratch. Thanks Paul!
Hi Paul, another great tip/lesson. I have a quick question though, I have videoed my swing and find that even with my hip rotation I am getting the club above my back forearm on the way down (steep). Is there a way to shallow this out without manipulation?
On the way back my hands are in line with my arm pit, my grip is neutral and my wrist is flat.
Any advice would be great, thanks.
Hello from Nova Scotia, golf is back! I'm 70 and I took a couple of tips, yes gifts, and put them in place. Just changing my grip to neutral made a big difference. I am now working on my setup and using my hips and legs. It almost makes you swing slower and smoother. The best instruction I have ever seen anywhere. I can't wait to see where I'm at in a couple of months. Thanks so much.
P.s. I love your straight forward method, anyone can understand the lessons. Great,!
Thanks for the support. Glad you are trying it and seeing results. Let's make this a great season for you.
Paul, another outstanding video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Paul, This is the miracle one for me, after years of watching videos of people talking about lightbulb moments.I have tried everything trying to cure my slice.
Just hit 50 balls at the range and honestly, I didn't hit one slice using this (so it's obvious what I have been doing for years) also I was hitting my 3 wood off the mat further than I usually hit driver. The sound was incredible.
I am going to do more and more practise on your teachings and cannot thank you enough for getting me on the right road. AT LAST I AM USING MY HIPS CORRECTLY!
Curing slices is simple. It only takes me minutes. Glad this one helped you. Hope you are still doing it.
can't stop watching these vids, i'm a total beginner (also rather unathletic) and yet doing the belt-buckle and wrist-opening drills i was actually able to play with longtime golf-playing associates... short game will be next to study, but at least i had working driver/irons shots...
the observations of how that 'swing machine' maps to a human golfer was biomechanial genius, man...
Glad you found me. Glad you like my instruction. Just years of keeping it simple so people actually get it. Then hopefully they try it. Once they see results hopefully they keep doing it. Keep at it.
Paul, I tried your lag drill tip and in about 15 min I was able to add 10 yards to each iron and 15 more yards of carry to my driver...
Best tip ever...
I feel like I owe you some money...lol
Thank you!!
Glad you tried it and saw results. Fun times ahead for you. You can check out my site to support me if you feel the need. paulwilsongolf.com
OMG. Whoever said it was a gift was certainly right. I am the original ground scraper, and this tip has me hitting it pure and firing darts. Only problem is I have to dial back about 10% to have the same distances until I figure it out. Thanks so much.
For sure. It's truly mind boggling that people are not even thinking of using their lower body to hit the ball. Now you have a trigger. Just realize it is for life. Every shot from this point forward is hit with this thought. There are others too but if this one is working keep doing it. Glad you found me. I trying to swing at 80%. Anything above that is a gray area where the ball can go anywhere.
This is the video that is going to change my golf life! Thanks Paul!!!
You bet. This is a big one for sure.
Each and every word is true, except elders in their late 70s and 80s, even for elders keeping the same
routine, game will be great and enjoyable. Before you start, do exactly what Paul is telling, take practice
swings and you will enjoy your golf. The most hardest swing in bunker, Paul is the only answer in the world.
Thanks and God bless Paul.
Anyone can do this. Just need to do it a different way. You need super loose wrists. You don't have to be strong to be loose. So as I said anyone can do it. Got to trust the sensation of being loose. Once you get that you hit it by coiling and uncoiling your body. In simple terms that it. So please give it a try. At some point you have to realize hitting hard DOES NOT work and never will.
Thanks Paul..........your videos make a difference in my understanding of the golf swing. So many of the instructors out here overcomplicate things, and even though they may be 100% correct in what they are saying. If I can't relate or understand what they are talking about , it has zero value to me. Your videos are easy to comprehend and are well explained. That is characteristic of all good teachers! Thanks so much!
This over complication has been around for years. This is what I did many years ago and it got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Knowing this, had me thinking "fast and easy" from lesson 1 over 31 years ago. So this is why I say things the way I say them. So many people have commented they they get it when I explain it. This is half the battle. Thanks for your support.
I keep coming back to this video, /the best advice to start the downswing. I wish I knew this years ago.
For sure. Got to get those hips moving.
Paul. Showed my friend this video. He came joint first in our society meeting with 40 Stableford points - losing out on count back. The winner had a hole in one! I only came 4th, but beat my handicap! 🤩
Wow, good result. Thanks for telling others.
I wish this stuff was available when I was trying to play golf for a living . This makes the swing so much easier. Great videos and instruction!
Yes, simple is the key. These better players are all trying to make it way to complicated. Oh, to go back in time.
This drill and concept completely change my thought process and game. Thank you
This is the main key to hitting the ball. Glad you found it. Get this and your whole life will change.
Skip Walker - after years of golf instruction I subscribed to your program. In spite of being told before not to swing with my arms, I could never implement a lower body swing. Your program has significantly improved my game. It’s a continuous learning process and I look forward to your tips.
Very good. Glad you stuck with it and are starting to feel it. Keep up the good work.
Watching from UK Paul is the best of the US golf teachers. Great content.
Thanks so much. I was born in England so I am able to compete with the UK teachers as well.
I'm a beginner and just trying to wrap my head around the mechanics of a swing. I'm so happy to have this to put a focal point what the hell you lower body should be doing. Thank you.
Glad you found me. This will save you years of whacking away at it with your arms. You need to watch more of my tips to get the concept. If it was as easy as whacking away at it everyone would be good. Few are. Those few learned as kids. Kids have minimal arm strength do from ball one they learned to use their body not the arms to hit the ball. Watch:

New to golf, been playing a year with a bit of Covid disruption and I am all arms, so to see this video has been a massive eye opener. Will try and start thinking about my lower half more. Very clear and concise tip, thanks and great work
Glad it helped. This is a huge key especially if you are new to playing golf. Most golfers keep hitting with the arms for years and never improve yet every good player uses their lower body to power the swing. If you can keep this thought in mind you will improve super fast and not develop the bad habits on the majority of golfers.
Paul, this tip is "INCREDIBLE" !!! I have "NEVER" hit my golf ball so far AND SO STRAIGHT !! Thank you Man ! Wow !!
Yes, this is a big one. Glad you are seeing results.
Thanks for sharing all those great tips with us, Mr. Wilson. God bless!
My pleasure!
Bravo Bravo I saw 2 Videos from you soft Hands and this, helps me after 50 Years Golf merci
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
What a fantastic tip - this takes a lot of "hit the ball" thoughts out. The ball all of a sudden just gets in the way of my swing. Produces much more consistent shots. No more left to left shots either! A miracle
Yes, this is a big trigger. Lots of my students choose this one to hit the ball.
after the worst round I can remember , where I struggled with "swinging my arms hard", I came home and found a book I had got from my dads collection after he passed away, "Swing Machine Golf". Read most of it last night and watched a couple of your TH-cam videos today. I"m going to completely re-work my swing and thought process based on your teaching method. Have a net and mat in my backyard and going to begin with grip and the 2/3 drill, albeit I dont have a swing monitor, and then go to the driving range with my rangefinder and continue. Really excited about my future golf now.!!
So glad you found me and are willing to change. Your dad was a smart man and was definitely onto something! Stay focused. Follow each lesson carefully. Do lots of practice swings too not just ball after ball into the net. It's all about the movement. So start seeing I differently and stay focused. You will start seeing amazing, effortless shots in no time.
I went from shooting 90 to high 70s over the summer. Then my driver has all of a sudden got a fade to it and top. I have a lesson Wednesday to see what's going on but in my videos I have taken of myself I noticed I have sudden started a over the top motion due to my right knee getting in the way and not clearing. This may just be what I need to help that out. Is it possible to hit a push draw from this?
Getting your arms & "hit" mantra out of your golf swing is like trying to get a dog not to bark at strangers......it still creeps in my minset on course....the way i overcome it is with 2 body swings practice swings in the air and swinging w/o thinking about anything but my belt bucke turning and finishing like this video and having my arms feel like ropes and loose wrists releading following those hips...it helps reset my mindset into the bodyswing mantra on every shot.....it takes probably a whole season and lots of practice swings to make this a permanaent change.....but ohhhh! So worth it!
Second time of seen your teaching methods. So simple and so different from others.
Thanks I will be trying them.
Roland from South Africa
Thank you so much. I have quite a few students in South Africa. I was almost born there too. I keep it simple. I say things in certain ways on purpose so people will understand it. That's half the battle. You need to understand how it fits in the whole picture. Once you do, you will keep doing it. Keep at it and you will be playing your best golf in no time. Please subscribe if you haven't done so already.
This lesson is excellent. Working on it all the time.
Glad you liked it. Thanks so much.
I'm on a golfing journey this winter in terms of teaching myself the right way after realising I'm not going to get lower than my 15hcp with my own self taught swing, which is all arms, very short on the back swing and all so so rushed... ... between constant practice, lessons and your videos which break everything down so well and to a level I understand... I'm slowly slowly getting there. The penny is dropping and il get there of it kills me... Thanks Paul 👍🏼
Yes, working on it yourself rarely works. Glad you see it sooner rather than later and are going to understand it and work on it a little differently. This is actually not that hard to build a great swing if you know what you are doing. I took a student from 95 to 75 in 2 months and he never hit one practice ball. I literally gave him a 10 mins lesson per week showing him one thing to work on. Then he did in only in practice swings. Without the ball he wasn't using his arms to hit hard. He got used to the moves and positions without distractions. So when you say contact practice you need to not hit ball after ball. You need to do more practice swings working on precise positioning vs beating balls. Not sure if you have my Body Swing videos or not. There I show the exact positions and how to put them together step-by-step. If not you can use the tips but I don't give everything away here. So hit less balls. Do more practice swings working on precise positions like a pro or better player would be working on it. At a 15 hdcp your swing needs work for sure. You can still play and work on your short game too.
Simple easy to apply lessons. The best!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
My buddy who is glued to the ground at address and stays there thru the swing, needs to see this !!! Brilliant drill !
For sure. Glued to the ground is not good. He's going to hurt himself.
Fantastic explanation and instruction of a primary key in the golf swing.
Glad you liked it. Thanks
This is absolute GOLD... Played yesterday and struck the ball the best I have in years. Even my playing partners were shocked. Thanks Paul.
Yes, it is. So glad you tried it. You move the body first before the arms and your whole game changes. I love it when the playing partners see it. This means you are getting it. Now, keep doing it ... forever.
@@paulwilsongolf I wanted to keep it a secret.lol but I showed them the video at the 19th hole. They hooked now. Thanks again.
Paul , thank you so much , I have tryed your body swing , it was great and more powerful to hit the ball , the body swing make me get more distance
Very good. So glad you are working on it and seeing results. Keep doing daily practice swings. This is the best way to work on it.
Wow. Thanks for making it simple Paul. This single tip replaced multiple swing thoughts and attempted manoeuvres I had and corrected (or at least improved) some of my problems - weight shift, jumping/chicken wing, casting/over-the-top swing.
Yes, this is a good one for sure. Most of my students do this. It's just such an easy thought. You definitely don't want to be thinking of too many things. Keep it simple and stay focused.
Great tip! It is so counterintuitive to do that but it's the correct way to do it. Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Got to have a downswing trigger for sure. Get this and your whole game changes.
So, I have been watching videos to improve my swing. short irons improving, long irons not. swing even though improved still feeling 'natural'. This tip, trying at home outside, absolutely feels game changing. We shall see at the range today.
Here you go:
th-cam.com/video/kCSoZGENOYg/w-d-xo.html
Yes, you need to get the lower body powering the swing. This is the most popular trigger with my students so definitely try it after you watch the tip I just sent you.
Great drill Paul....... it's really amazing how this stuff is more psychological than it is physical..... it's actually pretty easy to do these moves , the hard part is convincing yourself to do it........ I think you're more my therapist than you are my coach.....thanks
Exactly. Explaining this is a big part of my tips so you know "why." Once you know that you are on your way do doing it.
Well said, the hard part is convincing yourself to do it ON THE COURSE, I revert back to old habits on the course, it pisses me off.
Scared of going wrong wrong.
Yes. My problem too! It can feel so effortless in practice but hard to replicate on the course because you worry about your score and manipulate the club instead of swinging it with loose arms and wrists. Maybe have to get on the course more often vs practice? Don't worry about score. Handicap.Mental battle as well as physical. Part of it is when it works you're thinking to yourself it can't be this easy and try to incorporate other moves like the pros make but I think their swing types are not compatible with Paul's method.
You need to go out by yourself with 3 golf balls in your pocket. You don't keep score. You swing at 50%. Drop balls and hit extra shots. It is about actually trying something new when you play. If you keep doing your old swing when do you ever change. With driver you pick a close target a few yards away or way way way in the distance that you cannot possibly reach. You cannot pick a fairway bunker at 250. This is a distance thought. So with new targets your thought to hit the fairway not hit it 250 down the fairway. Keep doing this by yourself until you get used to it. Right now if you play with others you will think distance and you will hit some bad shots. So try my way and get make the switch.
Tons of pro do what I teach (old school). The new swing they are working on is not dominating and never will. Who is #1 right now? Scheffler (old school swing). How did the best of all time swing? Until the new swing (which I tried over 20 years ago which killed my back and I couldn't keep it out of the parking lot to the right) dominates I will never teach this swing. Stay focused. Sounds like you are close but you need to keep repeating it. So do practice swings daily at home. This is the fastest, easiest way to get it.
I played your fine course years ago. Real nice. Good course, and good tips. Kudos.
Thanks so much.
After a disastrous session at the driving range (right, left, fat, thin, shanks, smothers), I watched about 7 of Paul’s videos. The next day I went back to the range, mostly focusing on the drill in this video, and I was hitting the ball much more solid, most consistently, and farther! Can’t wait to try it out on the golf course next time! Thanks, Paul!
Very good. Just loosen up and get the body powering the swing. If so, you will hit it amazingly well. Too many people want to just keep hitting with the arms. Just have to see it differently. Glad you caught it and watched the tips to get back on track. Keep at it.
Greatest video ever, tried this last night at the driving range, had the best session EVER. I’ve been hitting with my arms, but thanks to Paul
Glad you liked this one. This is the way most of my students start the downswing. Simple and repeatable.
thanx again paul . I will keep working on the lower body
This is a huge key to the swing. This is the motor. Try driving your car with no motor. Doesn't go very far (unless downhill).
Did this technique with my wedges and no joke I nailed them 120 yards!! Did ok with the longer clubs but still need more practise.
Very good. It's a start. Just keep at it. Do these:

So true that arm swing is not the golf swing that I strived for but it was so difficult to change my mindset. Now I understand that distance and consistency is created by the rotation of the lower body. Heard that was “All Arms” for 25 yrs but never understood what that meant until your videos woke me up. I can never thank you enough.
Yes, plenty of teachers out there who think that. They seems to be coming around now as they have know found that using the ground forces is the way to go. Glad you see it and are trying to use your body. It is new and different so it will take a while to make the switch. Do tons of practice swings at home daily. This is what I do.
@@paulwilsongolf when I get up to tee off I think “swing” not “hit the ball”.Don’t think about hitting the ball. Works for me. Paul your videos tell it all every detail, others do not. Big difference!
Ok, this guy is the best I've found online for teaching us how to swing better. I've bought into what he's saying and have noticed an improvement. MUCH easier to hit the ball! It takes a bit of practice to take the arms out of the swing but it does come with time, practice and patience.
Thank so much. Simple is the key. You make this difficult and you will never get it. I teach a different way that's for sure so people just need to keep doing it for a little while. If they do they see amazing effortless shots like you are.
Great tip and easy to practice thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff Paul. I am a retired PGA pro and do enjoy your “tips” and methods of instruction. I saw your bunker lesson with ball opposite the left ankle and used it to quit decelerating. It worked well. Sometimes we have to think differently to help execute a shot.
Thank you so much. Yes the bunker lesson is so simple if you just see it differently. Too many people want to make it too difficult. Keep it simple.
Great lesson.
I've struggled with this move, without realizing how much your hips should actually rotate.
Thank you.
Yes, so few amatuers turn their hips at all. no joke this this what separates pros from ams. Get this and you take you game to a whole new level. Watch:
th-cam.com/video/ya6ac-BuNhk/w-d-xo.html
Wow!….can’t wait to try this. I wonder if you realize what a great teacher you are?
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
This guy is ridiculously simple, what a freaking good teacher!
Thanks so much. Simple is the key and the way I have been teaching it for 30 years. Make it too complicated and no one will understand or do it. Glad you found me.
@@paulwilsongolf I’m 68, back issues, cancer and hadn’t played in 2 years. I’m now eating up ur videos because u make so much sense. I can hit a driver again, my swing is more controlled with irons but I’m still having trouble with weight on my back foot. I’m workin on it! Wish I was in Vegas, I’d b bangin on ur door.
Glad you are getting back into it. This swing is so easy on your body but we have to get you to learn it. Sounds like it is coming along nicely. The weight on the back foot is an issue. Just focus on getting up on the very tip of your back big toe at the end of the swing. I show the position in the free samples of The Body Swing I teach. The email comes about 6 days or so after you sign up so if you want the exact position you can sign up here. If not, then as I said just roll up onto the very tip of the toe. This takes practice to get the balance. paulwilsongolf.com/freesamples
@@paulwilsongolf Paul, I’ve seen that video. In fact I’ve seen them all I believe. Going to range right now with my son. Our range is next to an airport. My fear is I hit incoming planes:):):). Thank u, ur the best and I will b downloading your stuff.
I have been watching golf videos for a long time. Your tips makes the most sense to me. As I recover from rotator cuff surgery, I have been practicing the hip turns at home. Your concept of swinging with your body vs. the arms is an eye opener for me. Hopefully, it will translate into results when I can play again next spring.
Thanks so much. I try to say things in ways it registers for people. If you don't get it why would you do it? Glad you are trying it. Keep doing the drills etc. over the winter at home so you will have it when the season starts.
This drill has been magic for me.
Yes, this a a big piece. Got to get the lower body firing. This is the power source. Do this forever.
Very good lesson. I am going to try this swing starting tomorrow. Thank you for the great content.
Thanks so much. This is a big piece for sure.

I'm a little late to the party here but I just recently filmed myself hitting shots into a net and discovered that I am basically in the same position at impact, that I am at address. In other words, I am not using my lower body very much at all and this off season, it is my goal to find the easiest way to start down this path, without having to start all over again learning the game. I really hope this helps me but I won't know until my next trip to the dome! Thanks for posting!
You are not alone. This has to be 80-90% of everyone I teach. Now you see it you need to get to work on it. Do this drill and video your swing as I show. When you do you will see that you are now in the right position. So you need to do this drill thousands of times to get it into your swing. So hit few balls and spent your time on the drill:

I wish I'd learned this so much sooner. It could almost be called golf's "golden rule" or "magic move". It's so important in achieving the correct sequence in the transition, allows for the correct impact position, and it actually makes the game less taxing on the body. It's takes some commitment, but it's oh so worth it.
Yes, using the legs and hips is the magic move. Most people are just whacking away at it. If that was the way to do it wouldn't most golfers be good? Until you learn to use the legs and hips you will always be spinning your wheels. It does take understanding and practice.
I'm going to give this a try. I'm really trying to get my arms relaxed, but still failing to start the downswing with my lower body on alot of shots. Great tip!
You got this!
Try coasting to a stop at the top, start turning the belt buckle turning towards the hole and start the hands by dropping them towards the ground which keeps the shoulders and head back.
One of the best golf videos I ever watched. ¡Muchas gracias!
Wow, thanks!
Brilliant!! I've tried 1,000 different thoughts to start my swing but this never occurred to me. One practice session with this thought and I'm VERY encouraged. Occasionally get it fat or too fadey, but I think I may be on to something. Thanks!!
Very good. This is super easy and works great.
im slowly grasping this concept.
Great. Understanding is half the battle. Once you understand it keep turning the arms off and make the legs and hips the power source. After you keep seeing great shots with minimal effort you will keep doing it forever.
So helpful. It is a feeling you will know when you do it right! But it takes constant thought and practice to maintain the eel.
Right. A downswing trigger is for life. So it if you make it important and know it is what is causing you to hit good shots you should want to be doing it ... for life.
I had it a few years ago and it was so easy to hit the ball. Didn’t play golf for 5 years and now I’m swinging with my arms again.
Yep. Head this a million times and have gotten countless people hitting it great who took a break. Super loose wrists a d fire the legs and hips. In no time you will be hitting it great again too.
Thanks Paul. So true that the effortless and powerful swing, using your hips and legs, is totally pain free.
No nonsense instructor .your experience and knowledge very efficient master paul.
For sure. I say it like it is in simple terms of course. Glad you found me.
I think this swing thought very power full and the best ever tip from you.i try it yesterday and the result make me very satisfy.thank you mr paul.you are the best instructor.
Its like i do nothing big but with this tip my ball goes very accurate and straight.thank you mr paul.
That’s why I luv u. Dude you changed my swing. It’s taking some time but game changer babe!!! BTW I now have a follow through and hold. Thank you 🇯🇲👊🏾🇺🇸
So glad you're doing well. That's what it's all about. You did the work now you get the payoff. Keep up the good work. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already. Thanks.
@@paulwilsongolf already have…. Thank you 🙏🏽
Paul I hook my hybrid off the face of the earth. I filmed my swing and realized I’m all arms. I went back to the range and made sure I started down by turning hips contact was so solid I heard the guy next to me say oh wow. Dead straight balls with a little fade I have never hit my hybrid straight!!!!! Thanks for the great tip...
Nice one. Great feeling when you hit them straight!
Paul after a couple of months of practice and practice, finally I'm hitting the ball with lose wrists, my god what a differents, straighter and longer with hardly any effort, keep up with the great video's, people read this it does work, be patient, thanks Paul 👏👏
That's great. So glad you are getting it. Hope everyone is reading this. Anyone can do it. Just make a few changes and you are on your way.
Paul I discovered you about a month ago, and it has helped me so much. I’m almost 70 and your effortless golf swing with loose arms and wrists with the hinge re-hinge and not hitting with your arms has helped tremendously. More solid straight shots. I had one pro that kept telling me I needed to get my weight to my left side which I understand that’s true , when you finish the swing, but I got so hung up on that I was all screwed up. With your teaching tips I now feel the weight of the club, and it feels more natural for the arms to follow the lower body to the finish! I’m excited to keep working with your tips. Thanks so much! You are the best!
Glad you found me. Glad you are doing well. Love hearing it. Yes getting the weight is important but if you are thinking about doing that from the top it's going to send you over the top. These guys see pros do that in video but they are watching it in slow mo. The time it takes to do that is a millisecond. Why not load to the right and unload to the left into the follow through. If so, the weight will shift because you can't to the left in the follow through without shifting. In other words it will happen without even thinking about it. Sounds like you are on track so keep doing what you are doing. Fun times ahead.
Thanks Paul.. all your tips really transform the game. It also makes me think how complicated I had made it for myself.. thanks a lot.
Glad to help!
I am looking forward to trying this. My back has been killing me because I keep using my arms to swing. Cannot wait to try this at the range
Glad you found me. I have helped countless people play pain free golf. A lot of it is hitting with the arms. Another issue is bending over too much at set up and through impact. This tip has you firing the lower body which you need to do to get the weight off the back foot while swinging through into the follow through. So all good things. As for the set up think about basketball. Someone is going to throw you a ball. You are in a ready position looking at the person going to throw it. Put your hands together then start looking down until you can see the club and ball clearly not your toes. If you see your toes you are too low. This will get you taller and it's easy to check. Now as you go to hit balls you will probably hit it thin or even top it for 5 mins. Start with 7-iron and tee it up. If you do you will get used to the taller set up and will be hitting it perfectly in no time. Then lower the tee.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks! I really appreciate the tip and will apply it with my next range visit
Totally agree - this isn’t a tip - it’s a lesson, you can tell he does it for the genuine pleasure of sharing knowledge to prove it works - I love that feeling too where you know something and can show someone and get the satisfaction of seeing it prove you correct - what Paul is doing here is everything that the salesman “get the perfect swing and “secrets” advertises and purely wants to see finance and no interest in progress or results just the course fees.
Good on you Paul I’m exactly the same - if I know something 100% correct that someone needs - I get the satisfaction of seeing my knowledge or info etc prove correct - I’d feel embarrassed asking for money! Hopefully just doing the subscription and the ads can pay the way you deserve!
The only question/slight niggle in the mind is your address position , the hands seem very floppy and not ahead of the ball and stable for an iron - do you do this for a reason - after all if it’s me who’s looking wrongly then I’ll adjust to improve!! A true person is someone who can self assess regularly and listen to all information and use what’s helpful and discard what isn’t - I come across so many stubborn people that won’t change that would benefit them because they’re so adamant they won’t consider it? For me surely if someone has something that I don’t and can be beneficial why would I not use it to better myself? Seems strange people would actually sabotage and dismiss info that would change them for better but they won’t use it because it means admitting what they believed in blindly was wrong and so would rather stay wrong than change? Very strange, for me your lesson is nothing but useful information to compute and I thank you for it 👍. P.S I live in the UK , i am a fully qualified electrician aswell as Solar PV installer and EV charging installer - qualified certificates for all, my dream has been to live and work in the USA, I’ve never been but it feels like a home I’m due to come back to, it’s just impossible to get in!!! So if anyone reading this has any job vacancy at all even mowing lawns just to get me across the pond then I’m very interested!!
Thanks for the comment and noticing I actually care. People seem to be struggling out there and still being confused. I will keep it simple and hopefully people can start playing better.
I don't set the club behind the ball because I don't want to touch the ball. I am also not taking it back with my hands because I don't want to activate them as I go back. You can try it.
Yes, it is super tough to get in here. I did it 20 years ago this year and never looked back. I would look into the Solar path given the new bill that just passed there will be many jobs in this field which I highly doubt they will be able to fill. Just go onto the gov website. That's what I did. I did it all myself. If not find an immigration attorney.
Thank you sir. You have just confirmed my curiosity, yesterday I did something with my body and the light bulb 💡 came on. This was before I watched your video, now I am very sure of what I'm doing. Thanks for helping find my swing. I cant wait to go hit a few balls tomorrow 😌
Good stuff. Light bulb moments are huge. They take your whole game to a new level.
First, thank you Paul for your video help! I have been struggling this year with my swing for whatever reason. I am 57 and up till last year carried a 12 HC. This year started coming over the top and shanking my fair share of shot(something i never had an issue in the past). I know that starting with the lower body will correct my issues but having a hard time with it.
I will go home later today and work on this. Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Well, you need to do something because over the top is hitting with arms. Shanking is arms too. So you need to get them turned off asap. Hopefully, you know my technique. Neutral grip. Taller set up. Coil and hinge going back ... uncoil and rehinge coming down. You are not hitting or helping the shot in any way with you arms. Typically I work on the arm unit first. Neutral grip then hinge and rehinge. Get it hooking by rolling from the top. This is fixing the SPIN. Once you can consistently hook about 5-10 in a row you then switch to firing your lower body to start to straighten it out. You add a little body to make it go a little less left. Watch your ball. Keep firing the lower harder and harder until it goes dead straight. Fire too hard you blow it right so you need to slow down. Keep watching your ball. It will tell you exactly what to do. Keep the arms relaxed and wrists super loose. I would do this drill too. I call it taming the wild stallion (you):

@@paulwilsongolf Thank you sir! I will start on this today! You are the only online coach im watching now because you keep it simple and explain so well. Thanks again!
Yes, let's get you back. Shouldn't take much but you need to do it a little differently. Do daily practice swings at home. This is the fastest way to get it. Once a week is not going to cut it. Thanks for following me. We certainly don't want confusion. You've got this.
Simple, clear and efficient explanation! Well done ! Thank you very much !
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
I love this. Though I'm finding out how inflexible I am. When I've played my best it's staying with the single thought of starting the lower body first on downswing. Thank you for this drill.
This is a huge piece of the swing for sure. Definitely the missing link between pros and ams. I promote very few training aids. Recently I found one for hip rotation that I really like. You may want to try it: www.paulwilsongolf.com/speed-core-golf
Otherwise just keep watching my hip tips: www.youtube.com/@paulwilsongolf/search?query=hips
You are a genius Paul, really are!
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.
Thanks Paul.Ever since I follow your channel , I have improved my score tremendously.Great video.
Great job! Keep at it.
Glad I found you Paul, I have extremely bad elbow tendinitis from ‘hitting at’ the ball. Leaving me almost unable to play. I am going to make it through all of your instructional videos to hopefully remedy this issue. Really love the belt buckle to the ball drill, really feels good. Going to go out and hit a few today, swinging full but 50% distance with a belt buckle thought. I need to work on the body rotation to hit with my body and not my arms! Thank you for these, really appreciate it.
This pain is telling you that you are hitting for sure. Glad you see it now. In no way should my swing hurt your body. If so, you are doing it wrong. So loosen the arms to allow the weight of the club to stretch them out. So hinge and rehinge to get the wrists unlocked. Loosen the arms to get them extending and coil uncoil to power your swing. This is all a good start.
Great instruction Paul. Don't want to say too much, but 260 yard drives today, and some of that was because of you! Keep up the great content.
Great. You are heading in the right direction. Knew you could do it.
I’m going to try to this tomorrow at the range. I’m at my wits end with my golf swing. Need a total re-evaluation. Starting watching your videos. Fingers crossed 🤞

I hit two buckets at the range today to work on slowing my tempo - which has resulted in much better consistency. Before I started watching Paul, hitting that many golf balls would have left me with a strained and sore back. Now my back feels fine, but my legs and hips definitely feel it. I believe that's a good thing.
Very good. This is how you know you are doing it right. You should not be in pain swinging a golf club. Great feeling when you have no pain. It means you will be able to do it forever.
Makes sense.
Thanks for sharing Sir.
The way you explain it it's easy to understand it.
You are welcome
Another great tip Paul! I'm slowly working my way through all your vids, they're great. Good work man 👍
Glad you like them!
"You have to replace the thought of hitting with another thought."
The ultimate key to change. If you truly want to transform your swing, you must embrace this concept. It facilitates everything else.
Thanks, Paul.
Exactly. The problem in golf is that no matter how bad you are if you hit enough balls you will hit a few good ones. So what do people think? They think they've got it when really it was luck. So unless people hit the majority of their shots well they don't have it. To get it you can't keep thinking of the same things as you always have. So change the thought and you change your swing.
Paul, you make some very good points about the golf swing but I heard Bobby Jones say the same thing in 1931......!!!!!!!!
A lot of pros say the same things. There are common moves that we do. I explain "why" you need to do them. Something others don't do.
Another great tip, thank you Paul. I love the way you teach. I practice your tips every day 10 15 minutes in the garden and I've really improved my game. I'm more confident by now but I must still improve my rotation. This tip will help me for sure. Thank you so much for helping our game.
Fantastic! It's great when I here someone actually doing practice swings at home. This is the fastest, easiest way to to work on your swing. Keep at it.
Very simple to follow. Thanks Paul.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video. Best tips I ever heard.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
Will try this at the driving range tomorrow.. thanks Paul!!
Yes, this is a big move. Get this and you will get the lower body leading the downswing. Get that and you are doing what pros do.
Wonderful advice, I'm so looking forward to working on this at the range. Something tells me that this body movement will also help for the casting problem. Thank you so much Paul !
If you are casting you are moving the mass (club) before the axis (body). Need to reverse it. Also, try this:
th-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/w-d-xo.html
Excellent instruction....Ernie Els says the same thing.
For sure. This is how better players hit it while looking effortless. Use just the arms and it will never look effortless.
I love your approach to teaching. Your video on choking down on the club worked miracles for my iron contact.
Glad it was helpful! It's a great feeling when you start heading in the right direction.
@@paulwilsongolf It sure is! Even if it’s taken 45 years. haha.

Here up north winter is coming soon but I can’t wait to try this tip next summer meanwhile I will try to practice it in the basement of the house, thank you for all your tips and drills
Winter is the best time to work on your swing. Do daily practice swings at home working on a few of the moves. Then when the season starts you will be playing great golf. Glad you have an area to do swings.
