Paul my friend, been golfing for 25 years, nothing but fast moving arms. I have been trying for the last month, to use that slow easy swing it’s hard when your muscle memory won’t allow your body but when I get everything working your way. The ball just explodes off the club face easy Peezy. Thanks for all your videos I wish I would’ve seen these 25 years ago.
Exactly. It is a different way to do it for sure. Takes understanding and wanting to do it. Stay focused and keep doing it. The payoff is huge in the future because when you are 95 years old you will still be hitting it 250+. You don't have to be strong to be loose.
Today-first time ever! -with my local Pro, I was shown the body swing as advocated by Paul. What a transformation! Very exciting! I knew this was possible but had never EXPERIENCED it before. I have Paul’s earlier DVDs and literature but unfortunately hadn’t persevered with the material and other Pros just did not teach this.A new era has dawned and everything seems so much simpler! Another bonus was better, straighter and more penetrating shots with both irons, 3 wood (from a tight lie with no tee) and the driver. Thanks so much Paul for your help and enthusiasm !
That's great. I love it when someone gets it. It's a whole new world. In your mind you now know there is an easier way to hit amazing shots. Thanks for letting us know your results. Keep up the good work.
Great tip, been practicing this outside & in my garage when it rains using the cuts in the cement floor as an alignment. Can really fell the difference in my swing now, thanks Paul!
Hey Paul, I just found you a couple days ago. I'm 50, used to be a good golfer. Over the years my swing has just gotten so compacted in so many bad ways. Thought I'd give this swing a shot, went to the range today, and wow. It works! I'll need a lot more practice, obviously, but thanks so much for these videos.
Glad you found me. I love teaching guys like you cause I don't have to teach it to you. I just have to get you to remember what to do. Just loosen up and use your body. i am messing around with these other swings people are teaching to get a feel for the different techniques out there. When I do I hit it sideways and they take effort. I like long and straight with a feeling of nothing. I am planning for the future. I've got you by a few years so you need to plan for it too.
You are 100% correct!! For years I have been hitting at the ball with my arms. Inconsistent results. I took a video of my swing from down the line and saw exactly what you said! Square at impact. Thus is the best and easiest to understand drill for a crucial fundamental to a successful golf swing I have ever seen. Thank you!!
Paul, I played yesterday. Most likely the best round in regards to distance and ball strike that I have ever had. I have been watching your videos for the last four or five months. I have adopted the body swing and allowing the club to feel heavy(really helped). I have wide hips, so this is my new challenge to clear them. I will use this drill. Thx for the content, it is amazing. Just FYI. There are many of us out here who loose valuable strokes on the short game. We are close to the green but have trouble now and then getting the ball in the hole. We need to chip closer to the hole so that we one or two putt...
Very good. Now it gets exciting knowing. I will post some more short game tips here in the future. I do have over 100 short game tips on my membership site. Do it just give it all away?
I’ve been watching your videos for about 5 weeks and started working on this swing about 2 weeks ago at the range. I was skeptical because I can already swing at 117-122 mph and over 300+ ... but I’m getting older so I said why not try this. I can’t believe it ... I still swing at the same distance and speed but with way more confidence, less energy and pressure on my body. Thank you sir for saving my joints and back.
So glad you tried it. So way less effort for the same distance. Why would anyone wan to keep swinging all out? You see it because you are getting older. Hope others do too cause if they don't they only have one way to go and that is less distance as they age. Stay focused and make this your goal to be known as the person who hit it long and straight but looks like he is barely swinging at it. This is the swing everyone marvels at. It's so cool when you are the one with that swing.
Amazing how such a simple movement can create so much more power and less stress ... the sound of the club even sounds more crisp from driver right though to my wedges ... using different muscles now though ... that takes getting use to but I’m already showing others these drills. Just gotta work on my brain making dumb decisions out there now. Once again I thank you and will continue to support your channel.
Thank you Paul, I’m glad I listened to you before my round today. Had 5 pars easily just just applying tips and I also drive 340 meters more than once unlike my regular 250-280 which disappeared some weeks ago . Thanks
Indeed it was and thanks to you . Now I can focus majorly on my long irons and putting and maybe just maybe I can play at the seniors in about ten years from now , I heard it’s from 50 years above. Can I give you a call someday , I stay in South Africa and I don’t have a coach , everything I know about golfing is self taught.
Long irons: th-cam.com/video/kCSoZGENOYg/w-d-xo.html Putting is simple. You need to be target oriented. Imagine a ball in your bottom hand. Thumb straight down the flat surface of the grip. Feel like you are throwing the ball at the target. Practice only long putts 30+ feet and 6 feet or less. That's it. Do that you will be great. I was almost born in South Africa. 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.
After doing these hips drills, I got my average driver SS up from 87 to 91.5 using the Swing Caddie SC300! I’m 68 going on 69! My hips were sore the next day, but got better the more I performed this drill after a few days & getting stronger!
Take it one step at a time. You are now seeing the numbers are heading in the right direction. Don't hurt yourself but what you are saying is telling me you are finally starting the get them moving. It takes serious effort. You can do it. Do this drill: th-cam.com/video/lUOLMl_zmek/w-d-xo.html
Took your advice & videoed my swing down the line, froze it at impact. Everything else I was happy with but hips were just beyond square to the ball, no cheek visible, so will have to keep hitting these drills to get that final piece to the jigsaw. I used the free 'Virtual Pro' app for this, great job. Thanks again Paul for the great content. 👍🏻🙂
If you hit the ball and you didn’t rotate your hips what kind of shot shape usually results. I worked on hitting balls by doing this hip drill. Definitely noticed better and straighter strikes. Excellent tip.
You shouldn't be in pain other than when you first try it if you have never turned your hips before. Those who have any pain more than after a few practice sessions would be trying to do this stuff too hard. So get the moves and loosen up but don't fire the lower harder than what you can handle. Build it up slowly.
Hi Paul, great tip and I will get this a try today. When we increase the rotational speed of our hips like you suggest, are we in theory keeping the same speed for our arms during the swing?
Omg. I shot 92. Today. I can not turn off my arms .. I was telling my self all day. Move the hips move the hips ... finally got it on hole 18. Go figure lol. But yeah mentally it's hard to turn off the arms
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.
Well, I'm not a workout guy. Squats may help. I would also be doing rotational drills with tension bands. I promote this product so take a look and if you can think of exercises to replicate that then they would be good ones to be doing regularly: www.paulwilsongolf.com/speed-core-golf
Hi Paul, Just prior to my downswing, do i turn my hips or is there a slight natural bump that just happens? I worry if I get the hips moving that I will come over the top. I know it's a drill to get the hips active. I'm 60 and my hips are not active enough. Thanks for all you do. You are changing my game of golf for the better and I'm enjoying the game that I've always loved. Thank you.
You will come over the top if you are leaning forward in the downswing. th-cam.com/video/KlffJzbskmM/w-d-xo.html so make sure you are not doing that. Here is more in the hips: th-cam.com/video/Kk63_fYSAMg/w-d-xo.html and: th-cam.com/video/GhKr6Y8NHGo/w-d-xo.html
This time I got it what exactly you are telling what to do. At impact show your left cheek. Thanks a lot. Will keep on doing it. Don’t need a club to do this. Can do anywhere.
Paul, awesome video as usual. Have been working on the hip rotation and have gotten club head speed around 115 with driver and high 90's with irons, but still not getting the distance I feel that I should. Putting high spin on driver and getting 250 or so yards and only about 155-165 with 7 iron. Any videos or advice on what I may be doing wrong?
Nice work! Yes, if you are at 115moh with driver you should be hitting it longer than me. I would check your launch monitor cause there is no way 115 would hit it 250 even with excess spin. Then you need to get fitted because the numbers don't make sense.
@@paulwilsongolf Hey Paul, thanks for the reply. I wasn't getting good feedback from launch monitor into net, I took in on course and realized swing wasn't the same on course as net. Realized after videoing, I am coming over the top when on the course... aka "hitting at the ball" as you say. FIX YOUR SWING PATH, SHALLOW YOUR PLANE and HIT LONG STRAIGHT SHOTS HOW TO STOP COMING OVER THE TOP (Fix It Fast) FIX AN OVER THE TOP SWING INSTANTLY (My Secret Tip) Watched these three videos this weekend, going to work on the range this week with these, I think they should help fix my problem. Thank goodness, teachers like you exist! Appreciate all of your content
Great drill and like I can practice around the house easily ! Question though...I noticed when I played today and focused on rotating my hips, that when I straightened my lead (left leg), I often ended up topping the ball. After watching this drill, I am wondering if not lifting the back foot enough could cause this ? Or what else might be the problem ? Thanks !
That is jumping. I am turning and the leg locks. You need to coil up to the top then think about turning allowing the foot to come up 3-4" at impact with irons and 5-6" with driver. If so you weight is shifting. So it is a turn and shift by think about turning knowing the shift will happen if you get to the tip of the toe in the follow through.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for everything Paul. I can't recall being as excited to visit the range as I am these days. Your tips really help. Can't quite do it with the driver yet,but flew the back fence with my three wood for the first time and I am hitting much straighter. It's great to know that I have the tools to fix it.."heavy club" and "let it go" are particularly effective thoughts.
I see it and I know it... my hips are swaying and rotating. I'm doing your drills and my mindset is "back to the ball"... but whenever I feel it and hit the ball... I sway again. Most of the time a fade or a pull-fade. Some few straight shots, when I'm fully concentrated, but not that often. Keep practicing. My arms are pretty loose and with that fade in mind I'm hitting very well. It's still against my nature to hit it "softer" to hit it farer 🏌️♂️
hey Paul, I'm not sure if I get you right. I don't think I have a hinge and rehinge problem. I see it and I feel my body swaying when hitting the ball. I just need to concentrate and practise more 🏌️♂️
You can certainly move it back. As far as up is concerned, I wouldn't be thinking of this a it will move up if the leg is straightening. I have never thought of this in all my time playing golf yet it goes up. So focus on the move and it will happen.
With irons yes, all the way through 7 and even 8 iron. Once you start pulling the shorter clubs then switch to belt buckle as the trigger. I did a tip on it here: th-cam.com/video/BZD0_jPL8ks/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul, I seem to have very stiff ankle joints so in order to turn my hips towards the target I need to "spin out" my left foot so that my toe points at the target, this is much easier nowadays with spikeless shoes. However everyone (friends being helpful and at a recent lesson) advises against allow the foot to spin but when I do this I instantly fell much less rotation in my hips... Should I just let my foot "spin out" and ignore all the advice to the contrary? Cheers, Clive.
Different people have injuries and issues with their bodies. I would asses this on an individual basis. Make sure your lead foot is turned out at set up. That reduces knee/ankle pressure. Also, you don't want to the foot to twist at impact. If you hit the ball then it twist that would be fine.
Paul somehow I feel like I’m using my lower back in a way to fire hips. What is feeling to make the hips rotate? Are you shifting weight? Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks so much Paul. Will give this a shot. Really appreciate all the videos by the way, game has improved dramatically keeping my focus on the lower body & taking arms out of it.
Your hips are moving first in the downswing. Arms are following. Have you not watched my other tips? I just posted this about 2 days ago: th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul I notice that your left leg straightens when legs touch. Is that just natural or did you work on that / consciously do it? Thanks for another great drill
Hi. You need to lock this leg. I like it locked at 3/4 through with the back arm. I actually need to work on this myself a little. This gets you turning and can get your serious power. Feel the back of the knee going straight back.
Hi Paul I'm swinging in to out but lack hip rotation, I can turn right hip back but stall through theball flip my hands and hit a hook or worse snap hook when I hit it good it's a pure struck draw, will this drill help me keep turning through theball?? Many thanks
@@paulwilsongolf I spent 10 min doing it last night paul, what a work out and I'm only 28!!, should we be doing right hip back then left hip with the heel off the ground?? To get the whole movement??? Many thanks for this Brilliant Tip Paul.
Fast hard ... same thing really. I am putting a ton of energy into firing them and I have doing this quick (fast) but I have done this for many years. Watch: th-cam.com/video/WpalLq7rAc8/w-d-xo.html
If you turn the hips to far will that cause you to hit the ball left? all the pro i seen said you have to get the timing right so wouldnt you have to get the turn right speed so you wasnt to far turned at impact?
Yes you need to practice to get the timing. This is not that hard if you get the wrists loose first. Get that then you are watching your ball to add more or less legs and hips. Pull = more legs push = less.
5:34 - Can't even begin to emphasize to everyone, how important it is to video your golf swing, both down the line and face on. Anything else and I guarantee you're wasting your time. Video doesn't lie, it doesn't have an ego, it doesn't guess. It will reveal all the weaknesses in your swing. Only then can you finally begin to be honest with yourself and make a plan to improve. I watch people at the range, and they THINK they know how to improve, but 2 years later and the swing is exactly the same, they're only fooling themselves. Champions want to know what's wrong so they can improve it, anything else is an utter waste of time!
I got it. If you put the hammer down on everyone I won't have to. I can be Mr. Niceguy and no one will tell me how mean I am in my tips. Problem solved!
Paul Wilson Golf what?? Non English speakers ( who probably have an education) but probably wouldn’t be watching this video know that The pelvis is above the hip region that includes the top of the thigh bone. You cannot thrust the hip. Only the pelvis. Which is what your video demonstrates. This small discrepancy is the problem with golf instruction today. “It’s what I say and you must not question anything “
You are simply the best! Thanks a ton
Thanks for the support.
Paul my friend, been golfing for 25 years, nothing but fast moving arms. I have been trying for the last month, to use that slow easy swing it’s hard when your muscle memory won’t allow your body but when I get everything working your way.

Best video I've seen to stop bumping and driving hip's to start downswing man your videos are top notch
Thanks so much.
Today-first time ever! -with my local Pro, I was shown the body swing as advocated by Paul. What a transformation! Very exciting! I knew this was possible but had never EXPERIENCED it before. I have Paul’s earlier DVDs and literature but unfortunately hadn’t persevered with the material and other Pros just did not teach this.A new era has dawned and everything seems so much simpler! Another bonus was better, straighter and more penetrating shots with both irons, 3 wood (from a tight lie with no tee) and the driver. Thanks so much Paul for your help and enthusiasm !
That's great. I love it when someone gets it. It's a whole new world. In your mind you now know there is an easier way to hit amazing shots. Thanks for letting us know your results. Keep up the good work.

Great advice as usual.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.
If you hit the ball and you didn’t rotate your hips what kind of shot shape usually results.
I worked on hitting balls by doing this hip drill. Definitely noticed better and straighter strikes. Excellent tip.
You aren't going it hit it very far and you will do a chicken wing which adds loft, manipulate the face etc. You need the hips to get the club moving.
Paul Wilson Golf Thx.
Hello Paul your system is awesome 😊
Does the soreness in the hips go away?
This system is definitely more power .
You shouldn't be in pain other than when you first try it if you have never turned your hips before. Those who have any pain more than after a few practice sessions would be trying to do this stuff too hard. So get the moves and loosen up but don't fire the lower harder than what you can handle. Build it up slowly.

Hi Paul, great tip and I will get this a try today. When we increase the rotational speed of our hips like you suggest, are we in theory keeping the same speed for our arms during the swing?
You aren't trying to move the arms. Let the body move them for you.
Omg. I shot 92. Today. I can not turn off my arms .. I was telling my self all day. Move the hips move the hips ... finally got it on hole 18. Go figure lol. But yeah mentally it's hard to turn off the arms

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for everything Paul. I can't recall being as excited to visit the range as I am these days. Your tips really help. Can't quite do it with the driver yet,but flew the back fence with my three wood for the first time and I am hitting much straighter. It's great to know that I have the tools to fix it.."heavy club" and "let it go" are particularly effective thoughts.
what about moving your right knee forward. It might be easier to achieve this move?
You could do that too. This tip was just talking about the hips.
I see it and I know it... my hips are swaying and rotating. I'm doing your drills and my mindset is "back to the ball"... but whenever I feel it and hit the ball... I sway again. Most of the time a fade or a pull-fade. Some few straight shots, when I'm fully concentrated, but not that often. Keep practicing.
My arms are pretty loose and with that fade in mind I'm hitting very well. It's still against my nature to hit it "softer" to hit it farer 🏌️♂️
Do this: th-cam.com/video/OFJOLBSXSfQ/w-d-xo.html but get it hooking. Then start adding body again to straighten it out.
hey Paul, I'm not sure if I get you right. I don't think I have a hinge and rehinge problem. I see it and I feel my body swaying when hitting the ball. I just need to concentrate and practise more 🏌️♂️
Any thoughts on moving left hip back by pushing it back and up with the leg?
You can certainly move it back. As far as up is concerned, I wouldn't be thinking of this a it will move up if the leg is straightening. I have never thought of this in all my time playing golf yet it goes up. So focus on the move and it will happen.
Paul, this is probably a dumb question but......is the hip turn the same with irons and wedges as it is with driver and 3 wood.
With irons yes, all the way through 7 and even 8 iron. Once you start pulling the shorter clubs then switch to belt buckle as the trigger. I did a tip on it here:

Hi Paul, I seem to have very stiff ankle joints so in order to turn my hips towards the target I need to "spin out" my left foot so that my toe points at the target, this is much easier nowadays with spikeless shoes. However everyone (friends being helpful and at a recent lesson) advises against allow the foot to spin but when I do this I instantly fell much less rotation in my hips... Should I just let my foot "spin out" and ignore all the advice to the contrary? Cheers, Clive.
Different people have injuries and issues with their bodies. I would asses this on an individual basis. Make sure your lead foot is turned out at set up. That reduces knee/ankle pressure. Also, you don't want to the foot to twist at impact. If you hit the ball then it twist that would be fine.
Paul somehow I feel like I’m using my lower back in a way to fire hips. What is feeling to make the hips rotate? Are you shifting weight? Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
It's a turn and shift. Take a medium stance. Throw balls overhand and memorize the feeling. This is what I do.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks so much Paul. Will give this a shot. Really appreciate all the videos by the way, game has improved dramatically keeping my focus on the lower body & taking arms out of it.
I see you start from square position what about your hips in the top of the back swing do they drive to get open before club drops ?
Your hips are moving first in the downswing. Arms are following. Have you not watched my other tips? I just posted this about 2 days ago: th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul
I notice that your left leg straightens when legs touch. Is that just natural or did you work on that / consciously do it?
Thanks for another great drill
Hi. You need to lock this leg. I like it locked at 3/4 through with the back arm. I actually need to work on this myself a little. This gets you turning and can get your serious power. Feel the back of the knee going straight back.
...Paul says there’s a feeling of getting taller thru the swing...so to my mind, that happens when the front leg straightens ...
Hi Paul I'm swinging in to out but lack hip rotation, I can turn right hip back but stall through theball flip my hands and hit a hook or worse snap hook when I hit it good it's a pure struck draw, will this drill help me keep turning through theball?? Many thanks
Absolutely
@@paulwilsongolf I spent 10 min doing it last night paul, what a work out and I'm only 28!!, should we be doing right hip back then left hip with the heel off the ground?? To get the whole movement??? Many thanks for this Brilliant Tip Paul.
And people think golf isn't athletic. as you go through the heel should be up for sure. 3-4" with irons 5-6" with driver.
@@paulwilsongolf sorry Paul what I meant was can we do the drill doing a full hip turn, right pocket back then clear the left hip on the way through?
Paul, am I right that turning hip fast is not turning hard?
Fast hard ... same thing really. I am putting a ton of energy into firing them and I have doing this quick (fast) but I have done this for many years. Watch: th-cam.com/video/WpalLq7rAc8/w-d-xo.html
If you turn the hips to far will that cause you to hit the ball left? all the pro i seen said you have to get the timing right so wouldnt you have to get the turn right speed so you wasnt to far turned at impact?
what im trying to say can you exsplain what is the correct timing
this is total oppisite of what single plane teaching they say keep feet still i never understood that i have never seen no good player doing that
Yes you need to practice to get the timing. This is not that hard if you get the wrists loose first. Get that then you are watching your ball to add more or less legs and hips. Pull = more legs push = less.
Exactly. This will kill your body.
“It’s all in the hips”
It sure is.
5:34 - Can't even begin to emphasize to everyone, how important it is to video your golf swing, both down the line and face on. Anything else and I guarantee you're wasting your time. Video doesn't lie, it doesn't have an ego, it doesn't guess. It will reveal all the weaknesses in your swing. Only then can you finally begin to be honest with yourself and make a plan to improve. I watch people at the range, and they THINK they know how to improve, but 2 years later and the swing is exactly the same, they're only fooling themselves. Champions want to know what's wrong so they can improve it, anything else is an utter waste of time!
I got it. If you put the hammer down on everyone I won't have to. I can be Mr. Niceguy and no one will tell me how mean I am in my tips. Problem solved!
It’s the pelvis not the hips. But point taken
I keep everything simple. To those who don't speak english pelvis means nothing. Everyone knows what hips are.
Paul Wilson Golf what?? Non English speakers ( who probably have an education) but probably wouldn’t be watching this video know that The pelvis is above the hip region that includes the top of the thigh bone. You cannot thrust the hip. Only the pelvis. Which is what your video demonstrates. This small discrepancy is the problem with golf instruction today. “It’s what I say and you must not question anything “
