After watched numerous golf videos, as far as I am concerned, Paul is the best golf tutor on TH-cam. I would love to fly to Las Vegas to have 1 on 1 lessons one day.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. 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. Take a look.
Exactly This is crucial. This is why I don't want people hitting. I you are thinking hit you will move the arms first. Glad you see it. You should watch this too: th-cam.com/video/ya6ac-BuNhk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. This is a great one that everyone should be doing. A great example would be new tour player Gordon Sargent. He does exactly what I have taught for 33 years on a super human level. Check out his swing.
I hit a 285 yard, dead center, drive on the course this morning, thanks largely to your tips. Now just need to keep on drilling and work on getting that kinda yardage consistently
Tried this last night on the driving , i always tell myself , turn the hips and disconnect arm , i finally could either hook it or straight which is a BIG BIG help for especially on my driver , i feel like i didnt hit anything ,from today onwards i”ll take and train with all your advices keep em coming Paul and thank you
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I started watching your videos about 1 week ago(how to compress your irons). Then I binged watched a lot of your videos the whole week. I went to the range wow 15 balls in I can see a difference. Your Y,L,Y,L concept really sunk in . I watched this video before I played a round this morning, and shot a 92. My first time breaking 100, and almost broke 90 if it wasn’t for a couple duffed pitch shits 50yds in, and a 3 putt par 3. My friends where very impressed with my new consistency. Thanks again I will continue to binge watch. Your method works!
Very good. I like the binge watching. You should be able to get it into the 80's no problem. Turn the arms off and use your body. Make sure you master the grip here: th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html
Yes I'm really struggling with this technique. So many more moving parts. I understand the concepts but it's hard to have so many swing thoughts. Then again, I've only been trying to change to this style for 1 month. Rome was not built in a day...
Having played this swing for 13 years, I can testify that this little hip move to start the downswing is absolutely critical in making the swing work for you. If you don’t do it - if you start down with the upper body, or even with the upper and lower body at the same time - you’ll struggle with both distance and accuracy. And make sure that little hip move is a turn and not a lateral “bump.” Trust me, I know. This golf swing works very well, but you have to do it exactly as Paul teaches it.
Paul, I wish someone had taught or demonstrated this movement many years ago, as it makes so much sense. The lack of hip rotation on the downswing is a major issue with me. This explanation from you, will help me very much. Many thanks.
For sure. This is the magic move. Without this you will just be hitting with the arms. Glad you found it. Get this and your game will go to a whole new level.
There's no question about it--this may be the one tip to solve my problem. I've been working for a year now on the weight shift and using my hips to power the swing. I just can't make myself do it strongly enough or quickly enough before the club gets to the ball. I play again the day after tomorrow and you can bet I'll be working on this drill. Paul knows what he is talking about!
Best instructor on youtube! Thanks Paul! What helps me is in my mind im saying TURN doing my back swing so all im thinking about during my swing is turn turn turn. This has helped me so much and creates a ton of lag! I will start working this drill you are talking about for sure! BTW, when i focus on TURNING, it stops the over the top also.
Yes, this one is really good. So glad you tried it and stuck with it. Too many people want instant results when some things take a little bit to get used to. Stay focused and keep doing it until ingrained.
Relaxed. loose arms, wrists, had many lessons and never been told this. I know this is correct but after 4 months off golf. I'm back trying to kill the ball, I play off 8, played 3 a 3Hcer on Saturday, he swung so easy, so smooth, correct angles and it was effortless, he hit it a mile.... it reminded me of these vids and here i am.
Just saw this new video, sooo simple. By stopping at the top of the swing and getting hips to move first, as a drill only, must give one the body memory, as you’ve suggested. Can’t wait to ingrain this into my practicing. Thanks Paul!
I am trying this at home right now and founding out that i don't even twist my hips that much on my back swing, so i am more stiff than i thought. It's hard but it makes sense. Been doing it wrong, the good news is that i am new at golf, so i better learn it the right way. Thanks Paul.
Always wondered why I couldn't hit a seven iron 150 yards. With this and a few other of his tips like having loose arms and wrists I can now hit 7 irons 150. I can also attest to having the feeling of letting the club go. Let the weight of the club do the work
Watched your video and went to the range right away. Here is what I found for me. It was critical that the speed of the hips and arms were sequenced properly. At first my hips were moving way to fast for my arms and the right foot was coming up way to fast. This resulted in some off toe hits. Once I got everything coordinated and kept the right foot down just a little longer everything fell into place. I am not sure how much more distance I was getting, but I was much more consistent. I am sure increased distance will come with time.
Nice. I love it when people try to figure stuff out on their own instead of asking me without working on it. Just keep doing it slowly and get good. Yes, more distance will come as you start firing the lower harder in the future. Great job.
Paul - This in addition to the belt buckle drill is ALL I've been working on the past week. Now, relaxed arms/wrists is always a work in progress, but since working on the hips I've noticed it helps me relax my arms and wrists more because the RESULTS are amazing. My BEST shots occur when I realize my hips were my focus and with the belt buckle pointed forward at the finish. You're 100% correct, work on one thing at a time is a must. Without this hip movement one will never hit the finish position. Thank you sir!
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks. This is a bit of a grind but I always go back to basics (relax, loose wrists, hips, RELAX!). My on-course approach is "50%" and my playing friend began applying this approach last weekend and suddenly we were both hitting nice shots. Keep 'em coming.
I am surely gonna try this...' back to the ball' thing.... because I succeded in other tips about inner right legs ...or something like that. it works really ...really well.... thank you
Wanted to watch some easy and quick golf help videos, love these! Realized that I came across a person I went to elementary and high school with, small world. Congratulations on where your golf has taken you....and the amazing, easy golf tips.
Thanks Karen. I know exactly who you are. Yes, it is a small world. Haven't been back in many years. I keep hearing I wouldn't even recognize it anymore. Maybe someday I will get back there in the future. Keep watching the tips and making it simple.
@@paulwilsongolf we are starting to look a little like Toronto...so many high rise condo's. It is definitely different from 'way back then'. Thanks for the videos, so helpful, definitely will keep watching. Take care🙂
I am so grateful to never again have to wait on the course now...with plenty of your drills, every round gets practice time, too. In summer, I don't like to spend time at the range, but now can work on my bodyswing ANYWHERE :))
Got to make it memorable. And people wonder why I repeat things. Ahhh... so you can remember them. Duh! I know you get it Jerry. I'm sure you remember things we worked on 20 years ago.
VERY nice drill. Whenever I'm spraying the ball, I use my belt buckle position to check my sequencing with the rest of my swing. Invariably I find my arms are WAY ahead of everything else. Now I have a more concise explanation of a better drill. Thank you!
Thanks for your support. At a few weeks in you would still be working on the grip, setup and follow through. Master those first. You get that and you are 2/3 of the way to building a great swing. There is method to my madness.
thank you. i think old age and low back pain changes things, but regardless, if you can't do this you won't get distance or height. also this is critical out of the sand.
Well the low back pain is from hitting with the arms. My swing doesn't hurt your body so anyone in pain out there needs to try something different. Yes, to get it out of the sand this is a must.
Thanks Paul for another great tip. I will integrate this technique as I practice my swing in my court yard. Your instructional lessons are priceless. Keep them coming!
Paul thanks so much for your videos they are really helpful. If seems as if your teachings are in line with what George Knudson advocated but I think he simplified it a little too much and you are able to clarify it and add in the missing pieces.
I was a Knudson follower for a while back in the day. Yes, love his stuff. Few issues with it though. Simple is the key for sure but in thinking about it yes maybe there were areas that needed better explaining. Glad I fill in the pieces for you. Keep at it.
another awesome video i figured out how to hit ball straight just turn my head to the right like Jack did.Club owner said yesterday playing said i was hitting the ball so good an long an looks like im not swinging at all i said i told yall watch Paul this what im doing now
oh all i do now is use strong grip to draw ball neutral grip straight an the weak grip to fade the ball now i did that on driving range with same swing it works great
My oldest follower is 94 years old. He was actually going to come for lessons last year but had a medical issue that stopped him from coming. So tell your friends that. Bunch of babies.
Paul, I luv your exasperated demeanor, it's effective and a bit funny. I'm sure it requires a lot of patience being an instructor! Thanks for your tips. My plan is to visit you at Bear's Best & take a single day course.(if that's possible)
Glad you like it. This is 30 years now so my exasperation is certainly showing. I try to explain so simple people understand it and can actually do it. So what do people do? They keep whacking at the ball with the arms. That ball sitting there is a powerful force. Got to go against human nature and learn a different way to do it.
Paul, this is what I do when I move my hip first. Glad to see your tip match with what I do. It really works! Your swing approach is the most easy way to hit ball squarely. Many thanks!
Paul is one of the best swing coaches if not the best! If you truly want be a good ball striker listen to Paul's teaching. I have been playing golf since the 80s and the best hcp I had is a 5. Lot of the things I leaned was through Paul's teaching. If you are a beginner golfer or a seasoned player try Paul's teaching. If possible go to his golf school and let him teach you how to hit your driver and irons. He can teach you more in a few days than you will learn in a life time. Truthfully the scoring in golf is the short game . putting ,chipping. You have to learn the long game first. That's were Paul comes in. Good luck and make lots of pars and birdies!
yeah paul it really dosnt take much of that turn to notice how much futher the ball goes, another thing that has help, is keeping my hands in front of the ball before i hit it, that also gives me more power to the ball
Exactly. The problem is getting people to do any turn. I tell them to fire the lower body quick, fast, hard etc. and what do they do? Whack at it with their arms. Unreal. Fire the hips like you were jumping out of the way of a bus coming at you ... whack with the arms. Eventually I get them to do it but this is what I go through with every person. Glad you see it and are trying to get it. As you say, even a little bit and the power is huge.
Not really. I rarely play or practice. I'm fine with mid-70's. If I practice for a month I can get it to scratch but who has time for that. You guys need your tips.
Thanks Paul for another great tip and drill... I've been practicing this hip movement for a while now and incorporating it into my swing.. I seem to be ok on the practice range but panic a bit with it on the course but hit good balls when I get the hip rotating.. I guess it will feel more natural in time.. 👍
Need to work on the neutral grip and get your wrists super loose so the hinge and rehinge with no resistance.

I teach 6 different downswing triggers. Not everyone likes right handed triggers and not everyone likes left sided triggers. You need to choose what works for you.
Thank you, Paul (from Paris)! I wonder how to integrate this tip with the work needed to push from the right toes and foot on the downswing (surely another great tip).
Get the hips spearated from the arms. Then you are pushing to turn them. Keep in mind this is how I got distance. You might choose another downswing trigger.
That is fine to get the feel for the lower body working in your swing. The problem is human nature telling you to hit the ball sitting in front of you. With a stationary object sitting there you will try to hit it unless you are actually thinking of using your lower body. So, do the rock skip a bunch of times. Feel it. Then apply it to your shots. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/w-d-xo.html
Paul, scientists who have studied tour players attribute club head speed (i.e. distance) to 85% arms and hands and 15% to body rotation. This position is diametrically opposed to your teaching of taking the arms and hands out of the hit. I would appreciate your take on this. Thank you.
This is why you never listen to scientists or tour pros about the golf swing. So lets see you hit the ball anywhere without turning your shoulders at all. Now if you can hit it more that 100 yards it would be a miracle. Your legs and hips move your body. Your arms are connected to your body. Move your body faster your arms move faster. You get the speed through the hinge at the end of your arm unit (wrists). You turn .5 mph faster you get a huge increase in clubhead speed. Like I said stop listening to scientists.
Hi Paul after you pause at the top and rotate to the ball with the buckle when I start the down swing should I try to rotate the hips tto 45° at the target thanks for your help kindly advise Jack
You are trying to get the first 45. If you speed up the first part they will turn more and keep turning. You can't just turn 45 and stop. You need the whole hip turn but the first part is critical. Get the first 45 and you can get the second.
Hi Paul from the top when I made a short move rotating belt buckle at the ball should I also transfer weight or transfer the weight after my belt buckle is at the ball kindly advise thanks for your help Jack
The weight would be getting back to 50/50. You don't really need to think about it. You started at 50/50 so you if you turned you would get back to 50/50. From there keep turning. Weight will keep shifting as you swing through and get to the follow through with 90+ percent on the left leg.
Sir, during transition, i drop the club in a slot at hip level first rather holding on top . This way it is easier for me to use lower body afterwards to get through the ball. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Well you have a 1/4 second from the top to impact. By the time you drop you will be almost hitting the ball. When are you going to turn? Why not just use simple physics to shallow the plane. This is what I teach. th-cam.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/w-d-xo.html
Your anti fat drill helps with this as well. In fact it may be more effective because if you think about lifting your back heel, your hips will move by default.
Hi Paul, I push the weight and turn my right leg in a circular motion for the downswing trigger. I am not if my hip has moved earlier that my leg turn. Thanks
Definitely hitting irons and hybrids more pure and longer with this conscience hip movement. Following your other tips like neutral grip, relaxed arms and loose wrists, but having timing issues w driver. Would move be the same regardless of club or does driver need more time due to extra length?
Great. Same moves. One swing. What would you do differently with driver ... let me see ... you are trying to KILL it. So you are hitting with your arms. Harder you hit the tighter your wrists the more open the face. Take out your driver and do this drill until you loosen your wrists: th-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/w-d-xo.html watch this to: th-cam.com/video/OFJOLBSXSfQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks once again, Paul, for all you share. I am still working through the Body Swing course and I have a question related to this move. I started trying to lock my left leg before touching my knees, but that has morphed into a feeling of "pushing up" to straighten my left leg as a way of initiating my downswing. This move feels good and I can achieve the finish checkpoints of legs touching and shaft on back of head. This "pushing up" move seems to me to get my hips moving without focusing strictly on the hips. So far, I am doing it with practice swings, not hitting balls. My question is this: Is this feel of "pushing up to straighten my left leg and initiate the downswing" an acceptable feeling or am I on a wrong track with this? I hope my question is intelligible and will appreciate any insights you can offer. Thanks again.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. I would be shifting and rotating then you can push up to lock it. I just don't want you locking too early causing you to just as you hit the ball. So think like you are getting left and turning then lock. I know it's not even one second but just hearing what you said gets my thinking you are jumping too much. See what happens when you hit a ball. I do like the locking of the leg for sure but it can be overdone.
Hey Paul great video. I'm trying to incorporate this to my swing and 2 things are happening. One is that I feel like I'm coming up on my back swing and when I make contact I top it and two when I do make contact I feel like my grip is not tight enough and the club opens at contact and it shoots the ball to the right. Any tips on how to fix it?
Thanks. I appreciate it. Not sure why you would be coming up in your backswing trying to get your hips firing in the downswing. You need to be thinking set it going back so slower and focus on coiling and loading into the back instep. Make sure you move your head too going back. Yes, you need to secure grip and loose wrists. You are too loose. You need to watch these tips: th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html and: th-cam.com/video/GQmsOE7dRXs/w-d-xo.html
Well this will restrict your shoulder coil. If you can have stable hips and a big coil that's great but most who coil 90 with the shoulders would have a 45 degree hip turn if not more.
@@paulwilsongolf makes sense. I just struggle with so many swing thoughts. The more I can simplify the better. But I do know I need to get my hips back to square and then open at impact. I've been working on it like you said and when I do it I'm hitting slight pull fades which I'm fine with. Just need to work on getting my arms back to straight just after impact so the face is square like you talked about in another video. Thanks!
Too many people work on too many things at once. Just get each piece. There is coil/uncoil and hinge rehinge. I would get the hinge rehinge first. This will loosen the wrists and get you hitting it straight or with a hook. Once you rarely ever hit it with slice spin you are then focusing on body. Pull = faster body push = slower body. Watch the ball. It will tell you exactly what to do.
I would loose the wrists first. You fire the body first and you will probably hit pushes and push fades which are weaker shots than pulls and pull hooks.
The problem with that is time. You have 1/4 of a second from the top to impact. You think shift when are you going to turn? What is the problem with easy 80-90% of all ams? Not enough hip turn. So they keep telling people to shift so this keep being the main issue. Why not turn? If you turn and get to the follow through on the tip of the back toe you had to shift. If you turn you get back to 50/50 in the downswing immediately so you can keep turning and the weight keeps shifting at impact. You think shift you will also send it over the top. So since 1991 I have told people to turn not shift. I have tips on it here: th-cam.com/video/3HuV7bMXB4c/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Kk63_fYSAMg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/M58vf3LMwR0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/plrUayVpv0s/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf I understand what you are saying, Paul. I agree timing issue etc. Then following: I do not come over the top, but I tend to come slightly steep. So, what about turning the leading hip and dropping the arms at the same time? Thanks.
The problem is time. You have 1/4 of a second to the ball. So think turn the hips and drop is not enough time. Just turn the arms off completely at the top. Turn your body and the arms will follow. It's simple physics: th-cam.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/w-d-xo.html
I've been working on this move. I started with the drill to turn my belt buckle to a ball two feet in front of my left ankle. I can get into a smooth effortless groove (after working into it). It feels great. But.... I can only achieve it if I let my left wrist cup at the top. That seems to keep my arms and wrists out of the swing and let my hips motivate the swing. Like I said, it feels great with very solid impact. Question: Is letting my left wrist cup a bad thing? Is it going to mess me up somehow down the road?
In all golf swings the hips come to a physical stop as the turn through impact. Everything then catches up. Then the continue turning. In no way am I thinking about doing this. I am firing the lower and not trying to hit the ball in any way with my arms.
Many thanks to Paul, this drill is cool, I have one question about the focus, should I focus on the hip turn or knee movement or ankles in order to do this drill？
queation i hold the golf cart i lift one leg i was just rotating it around with top staying still you ever seen this i dont know if it right something i do to get feeling of this seperation
Agree but difficult since everything happens so fast. When I throw a ball into the ground just one yard down the target line my hips rotate naturally, no drills needed. But when hitting a golf ball the hips stall and we need a drill. Why is it so?
Paul Wilson Golf Excellent (funny that you had a complete video about it :)). That is also why the practice swing also is better I guess. If there was a way to program our brain to go against human nature you would have found it. So instead we do your drill to program our brain. Might seem artificial but hey, it’s probably the only way to go. Thanks Paul, I will try it out.
Well it is about understanding how it works so it makes sense. If you don't know "why" then why are you going to do it. Plus, you need other thoughts to replace your current thoughts. If you keep thinking of the same thing you will get the same result. The biggest key is absolutely turning your arms off in the downswing. Turn your arms off completely and you will have to figure out another way to hit the ball (body).
Paul Wilson Golf Don’t know yet how the ”back to the ball” drill will play out. Will try. Guess it certainly will help to separate my upper body from my lower body and thereby make it easier to hit the ball ”later”. And then, figuring out how to hit the ball with the arms turned off hopefully will make the opening of the hips come naturally. I got work to do :)
You have to manually tilt. Get the tilt. Then get off the back foot. Watch this tip first: th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/BzBgiUhyrB4/w-d-xo.html
What about seniors? This is the only way a senior is going to hit it anywhere. Typically seniors want to whack at it with their arms. I have tons of tips on the channel now about this. In hitting, they lock the wrists and the club swings slower. As you get older you get weaker so you end up hitting it nowhere. So instead of doing what they majority of seniors who come to me for lessons so learn to hinge and rehinge your wrists. You don't have to be strong to be loose. Then you learn to turn a little and you will hit it by all of your friends effortlessly. Start watching: www.youtube.com/@paulwilsongolf/search?query=senior
I say it. I repeat it. Then I say it again. There are many reasons for this. People are distracted, people don't hear it, YT doesn't like short tips anymore, I think of other things near the end etc etc. If you don't like it you can stop halfway through. No one is forcing you to watch. If it were me I would be hanging off every word and absorbing it. Here is a test for you. Listen to a whole tip and try to remember what I said. Jot down some notes. Then listen to it again. I guarantee you don't remember it even though I said it 3 times.
Paul Wilson Golf... Hey Paul, you are SOOOO correct about “telling ‘em what you’re going to say, then say it, then tell ‘em what you said”. I’ve made many presentations in my working career, some to small and medium size groups (2 to 25), some to hundreds of seminar participants, all live/real time. People remember things more once repeated, even if it feels redundant. So, DON’T CHANGE A THING! You are right, if Mr Hayes doesn’t like the delivery, he doesn’t have to watch it.
Been a while since I stopped by and got another fabulous tip .
Very good. Glad you liked it. This is a good one for sure.
After watched numerous golf videos, as far as I am concerned, Paul is the best golf tutor on TH-cam. I would love to fly to Las Vegas to have 1 on 1 lessons one day.

Me too. He has completely changed my full swing for the better.
"You're trying to get your slow moving body ahead of your fast moving arms."
This truly connected with me! Light bulb moment. Thanks Paul!
Exactly This is crucial. This is why I don't want people hitting. I you are thinking hit you will move the arms first. Glad you see it. You should watch this too: th-cam.com/video/ya6ac-BuNhk/w-d-xo.html
Honestly this is amazing. Your a great instructor. Thank you
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. This is a great one that everyone should be doing. A great example would be new tour player Gordon Sargent. He does exactly what I have taught for 33 years on a super human level. Check out his swing.
That's a good drill. Don't stop coach
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
I hit a 285 yard, dead center, drive on the course this morning, thanks largely to your tips. Now just need to keep on drilling and work on getting that kinda yardage consistently
That's great. Now you know you can do it. This is what will happen all the time int he future. Keep at it.
Tried this last night on the driving , i always tell myself , turn the hips and disconnect arm , i finally could either hook it or straight which is a BIG BIG help for especially on my driver , i feel like i didnt hit anything ,from today onwards i”ll take and train with all your advices keep em coming Paul and thank you
Very good. Glad you tried it. This is a huge drill that everyone should be doing to get those hips moving.
Thanks Paul, makes so much sense, I can’t stop saying (back to the ball) it really helps.
That is why I said it that way. I do everything for a reason. Glad it stuck with you.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I started watching your videos about 1 week ago(how to compress your irons). Then I binged watched a lot of your videos the whole week. I went to the range wow 15 balls in I can see a difference. Your Y,L,Y,L concept really sunk in . I watched this video before I played a round this morning, and shot a 92.

3:56 so true. Even while concentrating on using my hips I hit a drive that was about 90% arms, a hard habit to break.
Need new habits to break old ones.
Yes I'm really struggling with this technique. So many more moving parts. I understand the concepts but it's hard to have so many swing thoughts. Then again, I've only been trying to change to this style for 1 month. Rome was not built in a day...
Having played this swing for 13 years, I can testify that this little hip move to start the downswing is absolutely critical in making the swing work for you. If you don’t do it - if you start down with the upper body, or even with the upper and lower body at the same time - you’ll struggle with both distance and accuracy. And make sure that little hip move is a turn and not a lateral “bump.” Trust me, I know. This golf swing works very well, but you have to do it exactly as Paul teaches it.
Exactly right. Thanks for letting them know its importance.
True just a subtle move but it works
Yes, I tried doing lower and upper at the same time, doesn’t work.
Paul, I wish someone had taught or demonstrated this movement many years ago, as it makes so much sense. The lack of hip rotation on the downswing is a major issue with me. This explanation from you, will help me very much. Many thanks.
For sure. This is the magic move. Without this you will just be hitting with the arms. Glad you found it. Get this and your game will go to a whole new level.
There's no question about it--this may be the one tip to solve my problem. I've been working for a year now on the weight shift and using my hips to power the swing. I just can't make myself do it strongly enough or quickly enough before the club gets to the ball. I play again the day after tomorrow and you can bet I'll be working on this drill. Paul knows what he is talking about!
Very good. Great when you find something and latch on to it. More hip drills to come in the near future that will help too. Thanks for the support.
Best instructor on youtube! Thanks Paul! What helps me is in my mind im saying TURN doing my back swing so all im thinking about during my swing is turn turn turn. This has helped me so much and creates a ton of lag! I will start working this drill you are talking about for sure! BTW, when i focus on TURNING, it stops the over the top also.
Wow!!!!! Best drill ever! Took about a hour to get feel of it! Man o man I started hitting ball pure. Good work Paul.
Yes, this one is really good. So glad you tried it and stuck with it. Too many people want instant results when some things take a little bit to get used to. Stay focused and keep doing it until ingrained.
Relaxed. loose arms, wrists, had many lessons and never been told this. I know this is correct but after 4 months off golf. I'm back trying to kill the ball, I play off 8, played 3 a 3Hcer on Saturday, he swung so easy, so smooth, correct angles and it was effortless, he hit it a mile.... it reminded me of these vids and here i am.
Glad you found me. Let's get you transformed!
Tried this today on the ranch ,amazing result , cannot wait to use it on the course tomorrow , gave so much confidence, thanks a lot
Fantastic! Focus on legs and hips. That is the power source.
Just saw this new video, sooo simple. By stopping at the top of the swing and getting hips to move first, as a drill only, must give one the body memory, as you’ve suggested. Can’t wait to ingrain this into my practicing. Thanks Paul!
Yes, this is a great one. Some people really find it tricky at first. Got to keep doing it.
I am trying this at home right now and founding out that i don't even twist my hips that much on my back swing, so i am more stiff than i thought. It's hard but it makes sense. Been doing it wrong, the good news is that i am new at golf, so i better learn it the right way. Thanks Paul.
Paul Wilson Golf would you do this for wedge shots
Worked this today, I’m happy with outcomes. Definitely straightened ball flight consistently
Always wondered why I couldn't hit a seven iron 150 yards. With this and a few other of his tips like having loose arms and wrists I can now hit 7 irons 150. I can also attest to having the feeling of letting the club go. Let the weight of the club do the work
Really beneficial information that has helped my swing tremendously.
Glad to help.
Watched your video and went to the range right away. Here is what I found for me. It was critical that the speed of the hips and arms were sequenced properly. At first my hips were moving way to fast for my arms and the right foot was coming up way to fast. This resulted in some off toe hits. Once I got everything coordinated and kept the right foot down just a little longer everything fell into place. I am not sure how much more distance I was getting, but I was much more consistent. I am sure increased distance will come with time.
Nice. I love it when people try to figure stuff out on their own instead of asking me without working on it. Just keep doing it slowly and get good. Yes, more distance will come as you start firing the lower harder in the future. Great job.
Paul - This in addition to the belt buckle drill is ALL I've been working on the past week. Now, relaxed arms/wrists is always a work in progress, but since working on the hips I've noticed it helps me relax my arms and wrists more because the RESULTS are amazing. My BEST shots occur when I realize my hips were my focus and with the belt buckle pointed forward at the finish. You're 100% correct, work on one thing at a time is a must. Without this hip movement one will never hit the finish position. Thank you sir!
Very good. You are getting it. For sure you need to the legs and hips. If not it's just never going to work. Keep at it.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks. This is a bit of a grind but I always go back to basics (relax, loose wrists, hips, RELAX!). My on-course approach is "50%" and my playing friend began applying this approach last weekend and suddenly we were both hitting nice shots. Keep 'em coming.
@@MarkG_603 You can't swing with loose arms unless it's a body driven swing!
I am surely gonna try this...' back to the ball' thing.... because I succeded in other tips about inner right legs ...or something like that. it works really ...really well.... thank you
You can do it!
Wanted to watch some easy and quick golf help videos, love these! Realized that I came across a person I went to elementary and high school with, small world. Congratulations on where your golf has taken you....and the amazing, easy golf tips.
Thanks Karen. I know exactly who you are. Yes, it is a small world. Haven't been back in many years. I keep hearing I wouldn't even recognize it anymore. Maybe someday I will get back there in the future. Keep watching the tips and making it simple.
@@paulwilsongolf we are starting to look a little like Toronto...so many high rise condo's. It is definitely different from 'way back then'. Thanks for the videos, so helpful, definitely will keep watching. Take care🙂
I am so grateful to never again have to wait on the course now...with plenty of your drills, every round gets practice time, too. In summer, I don't like to spend time at the range, but now can work on my bodyswing ANYWHERE :))
Great to hear!
Congrats on 100k Paul. So deserved. Let’s kick on to 1m 👏👏👏🙏👍
Thank you thank you. Exciting times.
Best golf teacher on you tube
Thanks so much.
It's like tapping your head and rubbing your tummy. At first it's hard but the more you do it, the better you get. Great tip once again, Paul!!!!
Right. Just got to repeat it.
Paulie, You remind me of Elvis. Keep up the good (exercise) moves. 👍🤘
Rock on!
Back to the ball.
Back to the ball.
Back to the ball.
Back to the ball.
Fire the hips, arms are following.
Hell yeah 😀
Got to make it memorable. And people wonder why I repeat things. Ahhh... so you can remember them. Duh! I know you get it Jerry. I'm sure you remember things we worked on 20 years ago.
VERY nice drill. Whenever I'm spraying the ball, I use my belt buckle position to check my sequencing with the rest of my swing. Invariably I find my arms are WAY ahead of everything else. Now I have a more concise explanation of a better drill. Thank you!
Glad you liked it. Glad you figure your arms are taking over when you are out of sync. Stay focused.
Paul great stuff. Appreciate you sir.
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for your support.
thanks paul, all your tips are very interesting and i do try them when i am play, so keep it comin, regards from england.
Thanks, will do!
Hi Paul, great tip once again thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
The golf tips are great, with the added feel of being instructed by Will Farrell.
I don't see it. A few people have said that. I compared my picture to his. Not even close.
@@paulwilsongolf It's more in the mannerisms and tone, not just the physical appearance.
Thanks Paul, I bought your Body Swing course a few weeks back. This is by far what I'm struggling with the most, so I'll give this a try.
Thanks for your support. At a few weeks in you would still be working on the grip, setup and follow through. Master those first. You get that and you are 2/3 of the way to building a great swing. There is method to my madness.
Thanks for your prompt reply very instructive
You are welcome
Another game changing tip. Thank you very much Paul!
Glad it was helpful!
Simple drill -- vital information. Thanks, Paul.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you. i think old age and low back pain changes things, but regardless, if you can't do this you won't get distance or height. also this is critical out of the sand.
Well the low back pain is from hitting with the arms. My swing doesn't hurt your body so anyone in pain out there needs to try something different. Yes, to get it out of the sand this is a must.
Thanks Paul for another great tip. I will integrate this technique as I practice my swing in my court yard. Your instructional lessons are priceless. Keep them coming!
Exactly. Just do it at home. It's about repetition. Glad you see it.
Paul thanks so much for your videos they are really helpful. If seems as if your teachings are in line with what George Knudson advocated but I think he simplified it a little too much and you are able to clarify it and add in the missing pieces.
I was a Knudson follower for a while back in the day. Yes, love his stuff. Few issues with it though. Simple is the key for sure but in thinking about it yes maybe there were areas that needed better explaining. Glad I fill in the pieces for you. Keep at it.
another awesome video i figured out how to hit ball straight just turn my head to the right like Jack did.Club owner said yesterday playing said i was hitting the ball so good an long an looks like im not swinging at all i said i told yall watch Paul this what im doing now
i told them old guys dont be one of them to old to learn do your drills they working hahahahahhaaha
oh all i do now is use strong grip to draw ball neutral grip straight an the weak grip to fade the ball now i did that on driving range with same swing it works great
My oldest follower is 94 years old. He was actually going to come for lessons last year but had a medical issue that stopped him from coming. So tell your friends that. Bunch of babies.
You can do that.
Paul, I luv your exasperated demeanor, it's effective and a bit funny.
I'm sure it requires a lot of patience being an instructor!
Thanks for your tips. My plan is to visit you at Bear's Best & take a single day course.(if that's possible)
Glad you like it. This is 30 years now so my exasperation is certainly showing. I try to explain so simple people understand it and can actually do it. So what do people do? They keep whacking at the ball with the arms. That ball sitting there is a powerful force. Got to go against human nature and learn a different way to do it.
You are helping me a lot
So good to hear. That's what it's all about. Keep at it.
I keep this as a swing key each time fire from hips to start downstroke
Very good.
Paul, this is what I do when I move my hip first. Glad to see your tip match with what I do. It really works! Your swing approach is the most easy way to hit ball squarely. Many thanks!
Thanks so much. I love it when people understand and get it.
Paul is one of the best swing coaches if not the best! If you truly want be a good ball striker listen to Paul's teaching. I have been playing golf since the 80s and the best hcp I had is a 5. Lot of the things I leaned was through Paul's teaching. If you are a beginner golfer or a seasoned player try Paul's teaching. If possible go to his golf school and let him teach you how to hit your driver and irons. He can teach you more in a few days than you will learn in a life time. Truthfully the scoring in golf is the short game .
putting ,chipping. You have to learn the long game first. That's were Paul comes in. Good luck and make lots of pars and birdies!
In my mind , I initiate the downswing with the hip turn...seems to by working really well.
Very good.
Great tip, many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
yeah paul it really dosnt take much of that turn to notice how much futher the ball goes, another thing that has help, is keeping my hands in front of the ball before i hit it, that also gives me more power to the ball
Exactly. The problem is getting people to do any turn. I tell them to fire the lower body quick, fast, hard etc. and what do they do? Whack at it with their arms. Unreal. Fire the hips like you were jumping out of the way of a bus coming at you ... whack with the arms. Eventually I get them to do it but this is what I go through with every person. Glad you see it and are trying to get it. As you say, even a little bit and the power is huge.
I reckon you could take a couple woods and grab any set of irons off the rack in the pro shop and shoot par Paul.
Not really. I rarely play or practice. I'm fine with mid-70's. If I practice for a month I can get it to scratch but who has time for that. You guys need your tips.
How much do u charge I want to have a teach Rd next time I'm in Vegas seeing my grand daughter...thks Chuck....love ur methods
Glad you like the tips. thanks. please check my website for pricing paulwilsongolf.com

Another great tip! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great video Paul, thanks for making things easy to understand 👍
Happy to help
Thanks Paul for another great tip and drill...
I've been practicing this hip movement for a while now and incorporating it into my swing.. I seem to be ok on the practice range but panic a bit with it on the course but hit good balls when I get the hip rotating.. I guess it will feel more natural in time.. 👍
Glad you liked it. Yes, takes work. Just keep doing it and you will get used to it then you will do it all the time. Repetition.
Hi Paul great video on the downswing when I rotate my hips should I transfer my weight at the same time thanks for your help kindly advise Jack
You are going to turn your hips knowing the weight will transfer. I just posted this one. It explains it:

Paul, I recently saw TH-cam video with Mike Malaska on hip turn. For RH golfer you indicate need to fire RH legs, Mike indicates you should be LH
I teach 6 different downswing triggers. Not everyone likes right handed triggers and not everyone likes left sided triggers. You need to choose what works for you.
Thank you, Paul (from Paris)! I wonder how to integrate this tip with the work needed to push from the right toes and foot on the downswing (surely another great tip).
Get the hips spearated from the arms. Then you are pushing to turn them. Keep in mind this is how I got distance. You might choose another downswing trigger.
Brilliant 👍
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I,d like to clear up a point you,ve heard of underarm toss,like skipping a stone does that take care of hip bump in downswing S/J.
That is fine to get the feel for the lower body working in your swing. The problem is human nature telling you to hit the ball sitting in front of you. With a stationary object sitting there you will try to hit it unless you are actually thinking of using your lower body. So, do the rock skip a bunch of times. Feel it. Then apply it to your shots. Watch this:
th-cam.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/w-d-xo.html
Terima kasih Coach
You're welcome.
Paul, scientists who have studied tour players attribute club head speed (i.e. distance) to 85% arms and hands and 15% to body rotation. This position is diametrically opposed to your teaching of taking the arms and hands out of the hit. I would appreciate your take on this. Thank you.
This is why you never listen to scientists or tour pros about the golf swing. So lets see you hit the ball anywhere without turning your shoulders at all. Now if you can hit it more that 100 yards it would be a miracle. Your legs and hips move your body. Your arms are connected to your body. Move your body faster your arms move faster. You get the speed through the hinge at the end of your arm unit (wrists). You turn .5 mph faster you get a huge increase in clubhead speed. Like I said stop listening to scientists.
@@paulwilsongolf scientists were way off on covid predictions also. Like I mean way way off
I couldn’t agree more.
so true !
Glad you see it.
Hi Paul after you pause at the top and rotate to the ball with the buckle when I start the down swing should I try to rotate the hips tto 45° at the target thanks for your help kindly advise Jack
You are trying to get the first 45. If you speed up the first part they will turn more and keep turning. You can't just turn 45 and stop. You need the whole hip turn but the first part is critical. Get the first 45 and you can get the second.
Hi Paul from the top when I made a short move rotating belt buckle at the ball should I also transfer weight or transfer the weight after my belt buckle is at the ball kindly advise thanks for your help Jack
The weight would be getting back to 50/50. You don't really need to think about it. You started at 50/50 so you if you turned you would get back to 50/50. From there keep turning. Weight will keep shifting as you swing through and get to the follow through with 90+ percent on the left leg.
Great tip! I just wonder before turn, do need squat a bit to get more power from ground?
No. Do not squat. This will never get you any more power.
Okaaayy... so that hip turn is like the trigger switch to rotate your upper body and fire that loaded back swing... ?
Yes you need a trigger. This is a good one. A trigger is for life.
Sir, during transition, i drop the club in a slot at hip level first rather holding on top . This way it is easier for me to use lower body afterwards to get through the ball. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Well you have a 1/4 second from the top to impact. By the time you drop you will be almost hitting the ball. When are you going to turn? Why not just use simple physics to shallow the plane. This is what I teach.
th-cam.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/w-d-xo.html
Should those with back issues be careful with this drill?
No. You have a back back from whacking it with your arms. Do it my way you will never have back issues. Fact.
I threw my back out twice on the course this year with my old swing, this swing I have zero issues.
Exactly. As I keep telling everyone you will never have pain doing my swing. If you do, you are doing it wrong. Yet, I still have non-believers.
Your anti fat drill helps with this as well. In fact it may be more effective because if you think about lifting your back heel, your hips will move by default.
Exactly. You are starting to figure me out.
Hi Paul, I push the weight and turn my right leg in a circular motion for the downswing trigger. I am not if my hip has moved earlier that my leg turn. Thanks
Good stuff.

Definitely hitting irons and hybrids more pure and longer with this conscience hip movement. Following your other tips like neutral grip, relaxed arms and loose wrists, but having timing issues w driver. Would move be the same regardless of club or does driver need more time due to extra length?
Great. Same moves. One swing. What would you do differently with driver ... let me see ... you are trying to KILL it. So you are hitting with your arms. Harder you hit the tighter your wrists the more open the face. Take out your driver and do this drill until you loosen your wrists: th-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/w-d-xo.html watch this to: th-cam.com/video/OFJOLBSXSfQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks once again, Paul, for all you share.
I am still working through the Body Swing course and I have a question related to this move. I started trying to lock my left leg before touching my knees, but that has morphed into a feeling of "pushing up" to straighten my left leg as a way of initiating my downswing. This move feels good and I can achieve the finish checkpoints of legs touching and shaft on back of head.
This "pushing up" move seems to me to get my hips moving without focusing strictly on the hips. So far, I am doing it with practice swings, not hitting balls.
My question is this: Is this feel of "pushing up to straighten my left leg and initiate the downswing" an acceptable feeling or am I on a wrong track with this?
I hope my question is intelligible and will appreciate any insights you can offer. Thanks again.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. I would be shifting and rotating then you can push up to lock it. I just don't want you locking too early causing you to just as you hit the ball. So think like you are getting left and turning then lock. I know it's not even one second but just hearing what you said gets my thinking you are jumping too much. See what happens when you hit a ball. I do like the locking of the leg for sure but it can be overdone.
Hey Paul great video. I'm trying to incorporate this to my swing and 2 things are happening. One is that I feel like I'm coming up on my back swing and when I make contact I top it and two when I do make contact I feel like my grip is not tight enough and the club opens at contact and it shoots the ball to the right. Any tips on how to fix it?
Thanks. I appreciate it. Not sure why you would be coming up in your backswing trying to get your hips firing in the downswing. You need to be thinking set it going back so slower and focus on coiling and loading into the back instep. Make sure you move your head too going back. Yes, you need to secure grip and loose wrists. You are too loose. You need to watch these tips: th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html and: th-cam.com/video/GQmsOE7dRXs/w-d-xo.html
What would be the issue with just leaving the hips more square or not turning them away from the ball on the backswing?
Well this will restrict your shoulder coil. If you can have stable hips and a big coil that's great but most who coil 90 with the shoulders would have a 45 degree hip turn if not more.
@@paulwilsongolf makes sense. I just struggle with so many swing thoughts. The more I can simplify the better. But I do know I need to get my hips back to square and then open at impact. I've been working on it like you said and when I do it I'm hitting slight pull fades which I'm fine with. Just need to work on getting my arms back to straight just after impact so the face is square like you talked about in another video. Thanks!
Too many people work on too many things at once. Just get each piece. There is coil/uncoil and hinge rehinge. I would get the hinge rehinge first. This will loosen the wrists and get you hitting it straight or with a hook. Once you rarely ever hit it with slice spin you are then focusing on body. Pull = faster body push = slower body. Watch the ball. It will tell you exactly what to do.
Would an open stance give me a jump start on opening up the hips?
Not really. If your stance was open you would be swinging left so that would have no impact on your hips being open.
What would be more important/effective for more distance, loose wrists or hips turn? Is it like wrists 70%, hips 30%?
I would loose the wrists first. You fire the body first and you will probably hit pushes and push fades which are weaker shots than pulls and pull hooks.
This is my problem. Would you support the ıdea of lateral hip move first and not turn the leading hip?
The problem with that is time. You have 1/4 of a second from the top to impact. You think shift when are you going to turn? What is the problem with easy 80-90% of all ams? Not enough hip turn. So they keep telling people to shift so this keep being the main issue. Why not turn? If you turn and get to the follow through on the tip of the back toe you had to shift. If you turn you get back to 50/50 in the downswing immediately so you can keep turning and the weight keeps shifting at impact. You think shift you will also send it over the top. So since 1991 I have told people to turn not shift. I have tips on it here:

@@paulwilsongolf I understand what you are saying, Paul. I agree timing issue etc. Then following: I do not come over the top, but I tend to come slightly steep. So, what about turning the leading hip and dropping the arms at the same time? Thanks.
The problem is time. You have 1/4 of a second to the ball. So think turn the hips and drop is not enough time. Just turn the arms off completely at the top. Turn your body and the arms will follow. It's simple physics:
th-cam.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/w-d-xo.html
I've been working on this move. I started with the drill to turn my belt buckle to a ball two feet in front of my left ankle. I can get into a smooth effortless groove (after working into it). It feels great. But.... I can only achieve it if I let my left wrist cup at the top. That seems to keep my arms and wrists out of the swing and let my hips motivate the swing. Like I said, it feels great with very solid impact. Question: Is letting my left wrist cup a bad thing? Is it going to mess me up somehow down the road?
No. You want cupping at the top. Watch:
th-cam.com/video/uRWI8Mhnsa8/w-d-xo.html
How would I purchase your body swing course?
Thanks for your support. You can go to bodyswing.com top nav bar it says products. You can pick it up there or just scroll down the homepage.
Paul it looks like your upper body eventually syncs up with the lower body as the arms straighten out 2 feet in front of the ball. Is that the intent?
In all golf swings the hips come to a physical stop as the turn through impact. Everything then catches up. Then the continue turning. In no way am I thinking about doing this. I am firing the lower and not trying to hit the ball in any way with my arms.
I’m told I open my hips to much and that makes my ball go far left. What do you think about this?
You need to do that but get the tilt: th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html
Many thanks to Paul, this drill is cool, I have one question about the focus, should I focus on the hip turn or knee movement or ankles in order to do this drill？
Thanks. You would be focused on our belt buckle. If you turn that back the others would be pulled into position.
queation i hold the golf cart i lift one leg i was just rotating it around with top staying still you ever seen this i dont know if it right something i do to get feeling of this seperation
Never seen it but you will see my golf cart tip in the very near future and see if they 2 go together.
Agree but difficult since everything happens so fast. When I throw a ball into the ground just one yard down the target line my hips rotate naturally, no drills needed. But when hitting a golf ball the hips stall and we need a drill. Why is it so?
Here's your answer: th-cam.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/w-d-xo.html
Paul Wilson Golf Excellent (funny that you had a complete video about it :)). That is also why the practice swing also is better I guess. If there was a way to program our brain to go against human nature you would have found it. So instead we do your drill to program our brain. Might seem artificial but hey, it’s probably the only way to go. Thanks Paul, I will try it out.
Well it is about understanding how it works so it makes sense. If you don't know "why" then why are you going to do it. Plus, you need other thoughts to replace your current thoughts. If you keep thinking of the same thing you will get the same result. The biggest key is absolutely turning your arms off in the downswing. Turn your arms off completely and you will have to figure out another way to hit the ball (body).
Paul Wilson Golf Don’t know yet how the ”back to the ball” drill will play out. Will try. Guess it certainly will help to separate my upper body from my lower body and thereby make it easier to hit the ball ”later”. And then, figuring out how to hit the ball with the arms turned off hopefully will make the opening of the hips come naturally. I got work to do :)
When arm comes down to ball in relation to hip rotation?
Hips start first arms immediately follow. The hips are moving the arms.
Not clear to me when hips are open where is the club or arms before impact?
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/GhKr6Y8NHGo/w-d-xo.html
I have trouble staying behind the ball during my hip rotation
You have to manually tilt. Get the tilt. Then get off the back foot. Watch this tip first: th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html

What about seniors
What about seniors? This is the only way a senior is going to hit it anywhere. Typically seniors want to whack at it with their arms. I have tons of tips on the channel now about this. In hitting, they lock the wrists and the club swings slower. As you get older you get weaker so you end up hitting it nowhere. So instead of doing what they majority of seniors who come to me for lessons so learn to hinge and rehinge your wrists. You don't have to be strong to be loose. Then you learn to turn a little and you will hit it by all of your friends effortlessly.

Changing everyone is never going to happen. I just got with the general terminology.
Freddie Couples confirms what Paul demonstrates in this short video here - th-cam.com/video/NY9BqqW60Mo/w-d-xo.html
Good one.
Imagine trying to hit the ball with your Johnson. That should help you understand how to move your hips
A student already thought of this about 12 years ago. Worked great for him.
Please get to the point.
I say it. I repeat it. Then I say it again. There are many reasons for this. People are distracted, people don't hear it, YT doesn't like short tips anymore, I think of other things near the end etc etc. If you don't like it you can stop halfway through. No one is forcing you to watch. If it were me I would be hanging off every word and absorbing it.
Here is a test for you. Listen to a whole tip and try to remember what I said. Jot down some notes. Then listen to it again. I guarantee you don't remember it even though I said it 3 times.
Paul Wilson Golf... Hey Paul, you are SOOOO correct about “telling ‘em what you’re going to say, then say it, then tell ‘em what you said”.
I’ve made many presentations in my working career, some to small and medium size groups (2 to 25), some to hundreds of seminar participants, all live/real time. People remember things more once repeated, even if it feels redundant. So, DON’T CHANGE A THING!
You are right, if Mr Hayes doesn’t like the delivery, he doesn’t have to watch it.
