It amazes me that Me And My Golf has 4 times the subscribers that Paul has! All the other TH-cam channels including the afore mentioned teach golf from a perspective of the watcher having the same talents as the teacher. When I watch Paul's videos I always get lightbulbs, when I watch the others it just makes me feel that golf is a more difficult game for athletic youngsters. I just wish I could cross the Atlantic for a lesson. Thanks Paul!
Well, it is about how much you post. I was on a roll there for a while but things came up so I haven't posted as much this year. I have just over 100 tips. They have over 1000 tips. The more views you get the more people they tell and it builds. 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: www.paulwilsongolf.com/site/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.
Glad you like the tips. Just trying to help people out. Too many people out there making it too complicated, still slicing, too confused or just not getting it. Simple is the key.
There are countless variables in a golf swing and only one constant, the target line. I never forgot the emphasis you placed on the importance of alignment in your other videos and it has served me well. Thanks, Paul.
Very good. Yes, lots of variable. Why not make sure we check the ones before we hit the ball. There are 16 of them. No sense hitting a back shot because of faulty, alignment, weight distribution, hand position, arm rotation, face, distance from the ball etc. etc. etc. is wrong. Check these and actually be in a position you can hit a perfect shot. Now you can watch your ball to determine what other variables are wrong when you hit a bad shot.
Paul is the best (by far, easiest to understand) instructor on the web, in my opinion. I played mediocre golf for 40 years and never knew I was swinging with my arms. Watched a few of Paul's videos and bought "Swing Machine Golf" and now I pretty much have to TRY to swing with my arms. Result is much more consistent, crisp, ball-striking and I don't wake up the next day with sore fingers and arms after a range session like I did for so many years. Keep up the great work, Paul. You've made me enjoy golf again!
Thanks so much. Simple is the key for sure. Thank you for the support. I appreciate it. Hope everyone is reading your experience. There is no need to be in pain when you play. If so, you are doing it wrong. Effortless is the way to do.
I just finished reading your book “Swing Machine Golf” for the 4th time. It’s a great book, with great photography, even though it was published in 2002. I know you now call it Bodyswing but I refer to the book because, sometimes, a hard cover book is good reinforcement for what can be seen in a video.
Glad you enjoy it! Although it's similar there is a lot of newer stuff, shortcuts etc. in the body swing to make it even easier for people. Over the years I answered tens of thousands of questions so I tried to incorporate this into the body swing. Those who have both say they compliment each other. Glad you are still reading it and working with it. I still teach this to this day.
The chuckles you have during these videos... absolutely crack me up😂 I bring an alignment stick with me every time I go to the range. Probably don't need it anymore, but it's a great habit. I agree, alignment is VERY important.
Yeah, I try to lighten it up. Plus, no matter what I say I know what people will actually do which to me is funny. Yes, for sure check your alignment daily.
Paul, for many years I was constantly trying to hit a consistent DRAW. Well, two weeks ago I began watching your videos and trying your method. I have never been as consistent as I am right now. To hell with the draw, I’m loving this FADE!
@@paulwilsongolf I normally use 2 alignment stick. One I put about 30 cm in front of the ball in line to the target and the second alignment stick I put it parallel to the first stick but in front of my feet.
Funny you mention this about alignment because I have noticed that a lot of courses set up the tee boxes to screw with players alignments. They will aim you at the trees forcing you to set up more left which as you know makes you fade even more. I try to pick a spot in front of the ball like you show and then block out the rest. Thanks for your instructions, they have been very informative.
Thanks. I say it like it is. If I don't no one else will and people will keep thinking they are going to get complex moves with no practice. Need to keep this stuff simple, loosen up and do a little practice. If so, you can dramatically change your game. Glad you're with me.
Great tip coach when I go to the range I always start with my lowest wedge and work my way up with a golf club lol don’t have a alignment stick so I always use a club thanks coach at least you let me know I got the right thing in mind
I hit a draw. When i am practicing, I set up my alignment stick a little to the right of the target to account for the draw. Is that correct? Do you set the stick up to account for the shape of the shot? Draw, Fade, etc.? Thanks! Always enjoy your tips!
Glad you like the tips. Thanks. You are actually hitting a pull hook. This is the easy way. If you want to hit a real draw you need to be square. Start the ball right and allow it to fall left. I have a few tips on it now: th-cam.com/video/mp8MriLZ4sg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/UicfEiofJis/w-d-xo.html Might as well try it. If not, they play they shot you are playing.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I've always heard that when most pros lose their swing and go in for a lesson, they usually work on setup and alignment. Sometimes they have a problem with tempo and timing, but when the alignment is wrong there is not much hope that they will make a good shot. Like you said, I don't know why more training videos don't talk about setup and alignment. I guess it's not interesting enough to the people in TH-cam land.
It all starts with grip and setup so yes, at lot of times (even for pros) this is what needs to be fixed. This is not a sexy topic so I guess others blow it off. I will be the lone voice that keeps stressing that this stuff is vital. As people listen and keep checking it they will understand it's importance. Glad you get it.
Honestly Paul, you should be leading the Golf Channel’s instructional team/show - or have your own! Every tip is of value and game changing; delivered in a manner that is both matter-of-fact and pointed. You capture and correct every flaw and tendency imaginable and offer solutions that are consistent with your methodology and that allow the ball to finally go *^&($/& straight - every time. You're a golfing *^&($/& godsend!!!
I tried out years ago. They contest was rigged and they chose Martin Hall at the last minute who just happened to live in Orlando (go figure). I will just keep doing what I'm doing. With TH-cam I can get bigger than the golf channel anyway. It's just about putting in the effort. The snowball of my making people better is starting to roll downhill. At some point it will be unstoppable.
So it's not your clubs. You need to keep working on positions making them perfect. I don't really give everything away on YT but most of it. Keep working on grip and set up. Then precise hinging and rehinging getting rid of any slice spin. Then it is all about coiling and uncoiling. You watch your ball. This will tell you what to do to instantly fix your own swing and get the ball back on target. This tip is critical: th-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/w-d-xo.html Then it is working on your short game so you can get it up and down making up for your mistakes. This takes a little work. So be sure to be doing daily practice swings working on the pieces and movements to make them perfect. It's pretty rare when I see someone doing exactly what I teach. There is always something they are missing when they come to me for lessons.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks for the advice will work on what you have discussed hope to get a visit to Vegas but its along haul from Northern Ireland , i owe you a few pints of Guinness if you ever make it over to ireland
100% most important lesson next to tempo. I did this because Paul told me too years ago. Trust me, I'm still the only one with sticks out on the range. I literally point down with my club when people ask how I hit it so pure. They still just keep asking. When I'm LITERALLY pointing out the most important lesson. But, eh, some will still shrug this comment off, just because they have an ego. Which is a major killer in becoming a great golfer.
It is truly mind boggling. And people wonder why I sound exasperated in some of my tips. 30 years of people not listening will do that to you even though they ask you how you do it. Glad you are not in that boat and still remember what I said.
Another good tip.... if you want free alignment sticks... go to your local PUC or Waste Management facility... they usually have sticks all over they throw out after they break or get minimally damaged. They work just like anything else and are FREE.
Hi Paul, Really enjoy your tips, after I’m lined up and want to try and hit a Draw ( I’m right handed) I drop my back foot back about 6 inches or so then sometimes I can hit a nice draw, not all the time. It helps me swing more in to out. This really mess up my alignment. I must be setup way right? Which tips do you have that I can watch. Thanks. Marc
That draw you are hitting is a pull hook so you are never really learning the right fundamentals. To pull hook it you need to start the arms down when you should be starting the body. So start with these tips first along with the square alignment I showed in this tip: Body Swing Concept: th-cam.com/video/E8y9jEyY35k/w-d-xo.html Grip: th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html Hinge Rehinge: th-cam.com/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/w-d-xo.html Alginment: th-cam.com/video/VFZc0Wq282k/w-d-xo.html Secure Grip: th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html Best Drill: th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html Power the swing with the legs and hip not the hands and arms. I have tons of lower body tips now posted. Try this one. It's an easy way to get you hips moving: th-cam.com/video/j1mS5Ku8Q10/w-d-xo.html My other tips are all based on what I have been teaching since 1991 so they will all start to make sense.
Ok hitting on driving range with alignment rod or with those white range divider is pretty easy. When playing on golf course is different to my eyes with all undulation. Need coaching on course.
Thanks for following me. They can fix the over the top quickly if they are here and I am working with them. For those that can't make it here it can take time. Might want to try this one. Read some of the comments below and see how it has helped people stop coming over the top: th-cam.com/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/w-d-xo.html It might help you get it. Keep in mind if you tilt your body right the club will swing right. th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/D1KL7G8Vmro/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/p6YWiBPnQqI/w-d-xo.html Just do those things daily in practice swings.
Great tip I always carry alignment sticks . Do you have a tip for working in golf nets due to covid lock down its hard to get to Range I use a/stick but can't see flight is that good nowhere to aim in net To practice
If you are working in a net you would be working on positioning, path, contact etc. Just depends what level you are at and what you are trying to do. Don't just hit ball after ball. Pick out a position and master it then move on. For path you could pick out a spot right of center and get the feeling of swing out a little. Contact ... well ... most would have you thinking of contact. I would have you build the swing to get the contact. A great swing hits great shots. So figure out what you want to do. I would be doing 3 practice swings to every ball. If you get on a roll and hitting a bunch of balls in a row go back to the practice swings.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul trying to practice ,ball position using hit tee high ball is hitting the center using spray on driver head trying to slow swing down It appears that I'm low hook push and way right Irons OK can't hit that fairway should I use a stiff shaft or go to A flex I'm 61 I have reg
I discovered this issue in my own game recently. However my feet were square but my shoulders were not square. They were aligned with the flag and therefore not parallel. I’m guess I have to hold my club across my chest to check shoulder alignment to match my feet?
I started to focus on loose arms. Craziest thing I’ve seen was how much the speed of my down swing increased and how much easier it is to hit the ball. I feel like I’m barely swing the club. Now I notice when my arms are not loose I will not connect to the ball the correct way. I was doing it and not knowing what it was when I was doing it. But I can tell you. The body swing is the easiest way to hit any club.
Very good. Can't believe it took you this long. Stay focused. If I can do nothing and hit it by most people then I am doing it a different way (not hitting). Once you get this it should dawn on you that you will still be able to kill it when you are 75 years old. I want people to have a swing for life!
I always carry at least one stick in the bag now...I'll even use it on the course whenever I feel my position and swing path is off....I had to learn the hard way as I always do
Got to build it up. Do this drill. Start slow and over time slowly go faster: th-cam.com/video/x1NehGi8tyI/w-d-xo.html You go top speed too fast and you will fall over.

You are coming out of it cause you are trying to see your amazing shots before you have hit them. Follow this tip: th-cam.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/w-d-xo.html
Hello from France, Master Paul, just a few questions that are bothering me: Is there a major difference in a driver swing and an iron swing? When I swing with an iron, I have a rather vertical rise and with the driver it would be rather flat. Is this a mistake on my part? Thank you for your answer. Sincerely Marc.
Hello. Nice to meet you. I have some students in France. The difference between the swings is ball position and width of stance. The plane is flatter with longer clubs because they are longer so if you do the same swing this change would happen on its own. You might want to watch these tips. They might give you more explanation: th-cam.com/video/x16qhEzeP0o/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you Paul for your comment, and the link which I will watch several times to get the essence of it, in order to reproduce it on the driving range and on the field! Have a good day and thanks again for your advice.
You always get thumbs downs. There are idiots out there that just bash me because they seem to think they know everything about the swing. No big deal. I just block them so they keep giving me thumbs downs. Mind boggling that people are like that as I spend and have spent countless hours helping people over the years.
Paul, do you have any tips for clearing the mind and shaking off the mental frustration of a single really bad shot (or hole) before it becomes a compound problem? I know being angry creates tension making it hard to keep the arms loose and focus on the current shot at hand in a relaxed manner, but sometimes it's hard to let go of that frustration before the next shot. I was playing a really nice round of golf yesterday when I finally hit a slice onto another fairway and lost my ball (I swear somebody picked it up because it landed on the fairway and not in any rough or trouble but yet was nowhere in sight when I got there just as a foursome on that fairway drove their carts away). I was pretty mad about having to add 2 strokes for a lost ball but I still finished the hole with a 6 which meant I shot par but for the lost ball. Really not too bad, but... still thinking about the lost ball, I walked up to the next tee box and skulled a 9 iron over a short par 3 green and got a 4. Still not a terrible score, but I let that skulled shot get added to my lost ball frustration. Then on the 8th tee box, still thinking about the lost and skulled balls(!), I hit my driver waaaay out of bounds and lost a 2nd ball. At that point, I was so mad at having to add 2 more penalty strokes and losing a 2nd ball that I topped the next two shots, then hit a tree, then skulled it over the green, then chipped it over the green, then putted long then short and wound up with a totally uncalled for 10 on a par 5. I know my problems on that 8th hole were due to being angry, tense, making bad club choice decisions, and eventually just hitting it with a "who cares my round's ruined" poor attitude. I was FINALLY able to say "oh well" and breathe/relax/recover at the 9th tee box where I hit a really nice straight and long loose arms drive (probably my best of the day) but I remember saying right after that nice drive, "who cares, too little too late" which wasn't the attitude I wanted to have when finishing my 9 hole round. As we walked to the car all I thought about was that 10 and how I never should have let that hole get so out of hand (I'd instantly forgotten all the good shots/holes I'd had before things went south). That's the kind of thing I've seen happen to my golfing partners and myself many MANY times over the years. It's not usually something that your playing partner can shake you out of either or that you can shake out of them when they're having a bad round. What do you tell your students to do to calm themselves down after a bad shot(s) so they don't do what I did? I don't think I've played a single round of golf in my whole life without one person in my group saying, "I should have stayed home" and even worse when the one person's in that bad state of mind very often the other(s) are playing really well which can add extra salt to the wound... although sometimes it creates belly laughs because we all know what's happening yet we can't seem to stop that Indiana Jones boulder of frustration from rolling.
The problem is you don't know how to fix your swing. You hit a bad shot then you hit another or attempt the wrong fix and it just becomes guessing. So the bad shots continue so you get mad. This is why it happens to your friend too. I need you to change how you think. First, you are never going to hit every shot perfectly. So you need to be on the look out for the bad shot or the clue that bad shots are about to start happening. 1. Bad shots start happening because you are playing well. If so, you will want to hit the ball even longer and harder. When this happens the arms activate you will start coming out of it looking for these amazing shots you think you are going to hit. So you start hitting it thin, topping or slicing. th-cam.com/video/cNhIyhi136E/w-d-xo.html In your case you sliced it. This is swinging too hard locking your wrists and coming out of it. As soon as you did that you should have realized it and started immediately working on rolling the wrists to keep them loose. th-cam.com/video/GnQ2FfdQBDo/w-d-xo.html You would be doing this in practice swings before hitting your next shot. You would not be thinking of this as you hit your shot thought. You are doing it to unlock the wrists. You are always thinking body to hit the shot. 2. Slow down. As you see in the first tip I posted as soon as you start hitting these shots it's telling you that you are swinging too hard. So on your next shot slow down to 50%. Your 50% is actually 70-80% which is how hard you should be swinging anyway. 3. Learn how to fix your own swing. You need to get into the habit of watching your ball and analyzing what you are doing wrong and immediately start applying the correct fix. I have a whole section on this in my body swing product. I do touch on it in this tip: th-cam.com/video/o_YFEIiNxZk/w-d-xo.html In simple terms, the wrists affect spin. The body affects direction and hitting with arms affects contact. So a slice has you with the face wide open. Not sure this was actually a slice. Probably a push fade. So you would have rolling the wrists 5-10 times before hitting your next shots and watched your next shot. This should have eliminated the slice spin. If not, you roll it again etc. plus slowing down you should have hit the next shot straight. So it is watching your ball and working on either the wrists or body or loosening up to get it back. Now you see why you are not alone. Your friends will go through what you are going through too because they don't know how to fix it either. So you see how focusing on the ball and getting it back will outweigh you getting mad at hitting the bad shots. Now into the future you need to make it a habit to watch your ball and understand what is happening so you get on applying the right fix.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks, Paul. I appreciate all of your help. I'll definitely work on putting that advice to use. Instead of loosening the wrists and slowing down before the next shot, I definitely tried to hit harder, faster and farther to try and make up for lost ground after those bad shots which is the exact opposite of what I should have been thinking about. Instead I should watch the ball flight, identify the problem (and accept that bad shots will happen), unlock the wrists for a while before stepping up to hit the next shot (but don't think about the wrists once I go to hit the actual shot), then think "hit it 50% nice and easy" instead of harder and faster (and going from my backswing point A to a full finish at point B which has really helped). All that stuff went out the window for a couple holes for sure due to reflexively going into Incredible Hulk mode and thinking about blowing up my score card instead of thinking about fixing my swing by using the above steps. Thanks again!
Need to hit the top and think TURN instead of thinking SHIFT. When finish your lead leg would be locked and the back leg would be touching it ending up on the very tip of the back toe. th-cam.com/video/Kk63_fYSAMg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/pCzCGEbThio/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2rSmPExx4_k/w-d-xo.html
Hey Paul I always struggle with a tendency to lose my swing towards the end of the round but today I stayed focused throughout pretty much the entire round because I realised that swinging out of my shoes IS NOT the way to good golf. The main thing I focused on the whole round was loose wrists. Whenever my right wrist locked up I would hit these pushes or thin shots. I have to trust that loose wrists WILL result in good strikes as long as I'm coiling and uncoiling my body. I was getting Par and Birdies on these tight par 5s with water and OB on either side of the fairway because I was able to hit my woods and wedges dead straight because of loose wrists, even out of the rough! Thanks for the tips.
Wow that's great. Yes, hitting is not going to work. Loose wrists is key along with coiling and uncoiling. We all want more. Greed is not good in golf though. I keep saying this but into the future don't see your hands as hands and wrists as wrists. Imagine it's a metal hinge. How would this work in life? It would be loose. So any tightness would not be there in a metal hinge. If so, the hinge would be rusty which is not going to work very well. If you think like this you will realize and trust the looseness every time. Watch this one to see it: th-cam.com/video/jEWe9Gaoqxo/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf That is such a good way to look at it because it is true! Your hands and wrists are simply there to impart force from the body. Any tightness slows down the transfer of the full force.
Paul i am interested in a lesson via coach link. If you are offline and i request to be added to the waiting list how does this work when you call me back as i will likely be home and not at the range?
I just called you back but no answer. Not sure if that feature is working. You phone should ring. I am home for a little longer today then going to play. I am off right now until October so I am home most days. If it says HIRE then I am sitting right there waiting for my phone to ring.
@@paulwilsongolf Yeah thats what i mean mate im not at the range at the minute i clicked the call back as i thought it would schedule a time so i know to go to the range in advance of you calling. But no my phone didnt ring. Okay cool i will give you a call next time i go to the range.
Sir, plz tell me why I pop up my drives? I know it's hard without seeing my swing, but if you could tell me the possible main reasons why I'm popping up my drives. Thank you for your time.
You are skying it because you head is moving ahead of the ball in the downswing. You need to keep your head back as you hit the ball. Do that and it is impossible to sky it. This tip explains the head position: th-cam.com/video/BzBgiUhyrB4/w-d-xo.html I would watch this one too: th-cam.com/video/5vq92sBQyU4/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf But if you keep your head back, aren't you keeping your weight on the right side, instead of the left? Thanks for the reply .. I'll be sure to watch the above tips over and over again.
No because you are getting off your right side as you fire the lower body. It's like hitting the accelerator on a car. Fire the lower and the upper goes back. I talk about it in this tip: th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html
This happens to me almost every round. It's frustrating. I'll play 4-5 holes and will absolutely flush the ball. I can be even be under par. And then something happens and I will just hit terrible shots. Fat shots, thin shots, and shanks. I can't even explain it.

Paul, yes, yes, yes and it is the #1, #2, #3, #4....#10 problem for us amateurs. Teachers totally underestimate this 100%. Brilliant!! PS: this is not sexy & why not talked about more
Exactly. I just see things differently and have always wanted people to get it on their own. Isn't that the whole point? I will keep saying it and keep trying to get people squared up. Maybe someday people will actually want to learn the right fundamentals instead of settling for improper positioning.
No doubt. 30 years of people not listening. This one simple thing could dramatically change golfers forever. Watch how many actually do it. I have shown countless students this and in 2 seconds they flick the stick away or still mis align even with the stick right there. Mind boggling and exasperating.
@@paulwilsongolf Worse than children! Along with your simple and effective tips, you are the most entertaining in the genre. Thanks for taking the time and for always making me laugh. P.S. What’s an alignment stick again?
I get comments asking why I talk to people like children. Hmmm. I have my moments for sure. I try to laugh along with the tip. Some don't get it. An alignment stick is ... ahhhh ... forget it. Just whack it as hard as you can.
Thanks so much. I do have various products available. My main Body Swing videos as well as driver videos and my membership site. Any of those would support the cause. You can find out more on my website here: paulwilsongolf.com Thanks for the support.

Glad you like the tips. Just trying to help people out. Too many people out there making it too complicated, still slicing, too confused or just not getting it. Simple is the key.
There are countless variables in a golf swing and only one constant, the target line.
I never forgot the emphasis you placed on the importance of alignment in your other videos and it has served me well. Thanks, Paul.
Very good. Yes, lots of variable. Why not make sure we check the ones before we hit the ball. There are 16 of them. No sense hitting a back shot because of faulty, alignment, weight distribution, hand position, arm rotation, face, distance from the ball etc. etc. etc. is wrong. Check these and actually be in a position you can hit a perfect shot. Now you can watch your ball to determine what other variables are wrong when you hit a bad shot.
Can't emphasize how good of advice this is. Changing your swing to fix your aim will, like Paul said, wreck your swing every time.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Your style of swing thought has changed my golf swing and improved my ball striking a ton! Thanks for the moment of enlightenment.
Very good. Glad to help.
Paul is the best (by far, easiest to understand) instructor on the web, in my opinion. I played mediocre golf for 40 years and never knew I was swinging with my arms. Watched a few of Paul's videos and bought "Swing Machine Golf" and now I pretty much have to TRY to swing with my arms. Result is much more consistent, crisp, ball-striking and I don't wake up the next day with sore fingers and arms after a range session like I did for so many years. Keep up the great work, Paul. You've made me enjoy golf again!
Thanks so much. Simple is the key for sure. Thank you for the support. I appreciate it. Hope everyone is reading your experience. There is no need to be in pain when you play. If so, you are doing it wrong. Effortless is the way to do.
I just finished reading your book “Swing Machine Golf” for the 4th time. It’s a great book, with great photography, even though it was published in 2002. I know you now call it Bodyswing but I refer to the book because, sometimes, a hard cover book is good reinforcement for what can be seen in a video.
Glad you enjoy it! Although it's similar there is a lot of newer stuff, shortcuts etc. in the body swing to make it even easier for people. Over the years I answered tens of thousands of questions so I tried to incorporate this into the body swing. Those who have both say they compliment each other. Glad you are still reading it and working with it. I still teach this to this day.
The chuckles you have during these videos... absolutely crack me up😂
I bring an alignment stick with me every time I go to the range. Probably don't need it anymore, but it's a great habit. I agree, alignment is VERY important.
Yeah, I try to lighten it up. Plus, no matter what I say I know what people will actually do which to me is funny. Yes, for sure check your alignment daily.
seriously so happy to have Paul as my coach lol. but yeah I'm just watch his videos from now on
Thanks for following me. You need one teacher. Whether it's me or not people should only be following. Glad you chose me.
Paul, for many years I was constantly trying to hit a consistent DRAW. Well, two weeks ago I began watching your videos and trying your method. I have never been as consistent as I am right now. To hell with the draw, I’m loving this FADE!
Now you're talking. This will make your life so much easier. That draw will literally drive you crazy. Keep at it.
I agree with you Paul.
I can't go to the range or warm up without my alignment stick.... It help me a lots...
Very good. Need everyone to do this.
@@paulwilsongolf I normally use 2 alignment stick. One I put about 30 cm in front of the ball in line to the target and the second alignment stick I put it parallel to the first stick but in front of my feet.
Funny you mention this about alignment because I have noticed that a lot of courses set up the tee boxes to screw with players alignments. They will aim you at the trees forcing you to set up more left which as you know makes you fade even more. I try to pick a spot in front of the ball like you show and then block out the rest. Thanks for your instructions, they have been very informative.
Yeah, I hate that. That is usually done by a none golfer working at the course. Pick the spot then you know you are square.
Brilliant tips. Really appreciate you taking the time to put these videos out there. They are awesome.
Thanks so much. I just want people to get better. Lots of people struggling out there so obviously something is not right.
Love your honesty!
Thanks. I say it like it is. If I don't no one else will and people will keep thinking they are going to get complex moves with no practice. Need to keep this stuff simple, loosen up and do a little practice. If so, you can dramatically change your game. Glad you're with me.
Brilliant teaching got some great tips enjoy your relaxed approach 👍👍
Thanks so much. Just trying to keep it simple so people will try it.
Great tip coach when I go to the range I always start with my lowest wedge and work my way up with a golf club lol don’t have a alignment stick so I always use a club thanks coach at least you let me know I got the right thing in mind
Very good. Work your way up is the way to do it. Club on the ground is fine too.
Thanks Paul, great tip and one I must be more vigilant with at set up.
Thanks. Yes, it all starts with the grip and setup. Stay focused.
Excellent tip thank you 👍
Happy to help
Exactly the reason to always use alignment sticks. Great tip.
Exactly. Yet few put them down.
Enjoyed that Paul 👍👍👍
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Your tips are always top notch. Thanks.
Glad you like them! Thanks.
I hit a draw. When i am practicing, I set up my alignment stick a little to the right of the target to account for the draw. Is that correct? Do you set the stick up to account for the shape of the shot? Draw, Fade, etc.? Thanks!
Always enjoy your tips!
Glad you like the tips. Thanks. You are actually hitting a pull hook. This is the easy way. If you want to hit a real draw you need to be square. Start the ball right and allow it to fall left. I have a few tips on it now:
th-cam.com/video/mp8MriLZ4sg/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/UicfEiofJis/w-d-xo.html
Might as well try it. If not, they play they shot you are playing.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I've always heard that when most pros lose their swing and go in for a lesson, they usually work on setup and alignment. Sometimes they have a problem with tempo and timing, but when the alignment is wrong there is not much hope that they will make a good shot. Like you said, I don't know why more training videos don't talk about setup and alignment. I guess it's not interesting enough to the people in TH-cam land.
It all starts with grip and setup so yes, at lot of times (even for pros) this is what needs to be fixed. This is not a sexy topic so I guess others blow it off. I will be the lone voice that keeps stressing that this stuff is vital. As people listen and keep checking it they will understand it's importance. Glad you get it.
Honestly Paul, you should be leading the Golf Channel’s instructional team/show - or have your own! Every tip is of value and game changing; delivered in a manner that is both matter-of-fact and pointed. You capture and correct every flaw and tendency imaginable and offer solutions that are consistent with your methodology and that allow the ball to finally go *^&($/& straight - every time. You're a golfing *^&($/& godsend!!!
I tried out years ago. They contest was rigged and they chose Martin Hall at the last minute who just happened to live in Orlando (go figure). I will just keep doing what I'm doing. With TH-cam I can get bigger than the golf channel anyway. It's just about putting in the effort. The snowball of my making people better is starting to roll downhill. At some point it will be unstoppable.
@@paulwilsongolf Agreed - TH-cam is your platform. Terrific instruction!
hi Paul great trip i have dropped from 23 handicap to 11 with your tips in 12 months , need more help to reduce handicap single digits
Wow, that's a big drop. Need to know what your issue are to get you to a single digit. Tell me what clubs and where the ball is going.
@@paulwilsongolf Hi Paul currently using Ping i500 stiff shafts , Snell mtb black, putting could be better
So it's not your clubs. You need to keep working on positions making them perfect. I don't really give everything away on YT but most of it. Keep working on grip and set up. Then precise hinging and rehinging getting rid of any slice spin. Then it is all about coiling and uncoiling. You watch your ball. This will tell you what to do to instantly fix your own swing and get the ball back on target. This tip is critical:
th-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/w-d-xo.html
Then it is working on your short game so you can get it up and down making up for your mistakes. This takes a little work. So be sure to be doing daily practice swings working on the pieces and movements to make them perfect. It's pretty rare when I see someone doing exactly what I teach. There is always something they are missing when they come to me for lessons.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks for the advice will work on what you have discussed
hope to get a visit to Vegas but its along haul from Northern Ireland , i owe you a few pints of Guinness if you ever make it over to ireland
I certainly will. I recently met the guys who run golf trips to Ireland.
So maybe someday. Thanks.
100% most important lesson next to tempo.
I did this because Paul told me too years ago. Trust me, I'm still the only one with sticks out on the range. I literally point down with my club when people ask how I hit it so pure.
They still just keep asking. When I'm LITERALLY pointing out the most important lesson.
But, eh, some will still shrug this comment off, just because they have an ego. Which is a major killer in becoming a great golfer.
It is truly mind boggling. And people wonder why I sound exasperated in some of my tips. 30 years of people not listening will do that to you even though they ask you how you do it. Glad you are not in that boat and still remember what I said.
Another good tip.... if you want free alignment sticks... go to your local PUC or Waste Management facility... they usually have sticks all over they throw out after they break or get minimally damaged. They work just like anything else and are FREE.
Thanks. Glad you liked it. Free is good.
Will give this a shot tomorrow, today was awful. Lost my swing and wanted to quit
When you lose your swing it is through hitting too hard with the arms. Watch this one too: th-cam.com/video/glKnfVbhuXo/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul, Really enjoy your tips, after I’m lined up and want to try and hit a Draw ( I’m right handed) I drop my back foot back about 6 inches or so then sometimes I can hit a nice draw, not all the time. It helps me swing more in to out. This really mess up my alignment. I must be setup way right? Which tips do you have that I can watch.
Thanks. Marc
That draw you are hitting is a pull hook so you are never really learning the right fundamentals. To pull hook it you need to start the arms down when you should be starting the body. So start with these tips first along with the square alignment I showed in this tip:

Hi Paul love your lessons.
Would you take a mark on the ground for ball aliment aswell as using your stick ??
🇮🇪
Well, I don't really do that cause with the stick I know I am aligned. If you want to, you can do it thought for sure.
Great tip I always carry alignment sticks .
Do you have a tip for working in golf nets due to covid lock down its hard to get to Range
I use a/stick but can't see flight is that good nowhere to aim in net
To practice
If you are working in a net you would be working on positioning, path, contact etc. Just depends what level you are at and what you are trying to do. Don't just hit ball after ball. Pick out a position and master it then move on. For path you could pick out a spot right of center and get the feeling of swing out a little. Contact ... well ... most would have you thinking of contact. I would have you build the swing to get the contact. A great swing hits great shots. So figure out what you want to do. I would be doing 3 practice swings to every ball. If you get on a roll and hitting a bunch of balls in a row go back to the practice swings.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul trying to practice ,ball position using hit tee high ball is hitting the center using spray on driver head trying to slow swing down
It appears that I'm low hook push and way right
Irons OK
can't hit that fairway should I use a stiff shaft or go to A flex I'm 61 I have reg
thanks
i will keep at it
Ya, agree set up is key
Grip and set up for sure. Get that wrong and you are already behind the 8 ball.
I wish I would have met you 40 years ago, that tip was very profound and would’ve helped my swing tremendously. Thanks for sharing!
I've heard this a lot over the years. Glad you found me know at least. Glad you are doing well.
I discovered this issue in my own game recently. However my feet were square but my shoulders were not square. They were aligned with the flag and therefore not parallel. I’m guess I have to hold my club across my chest to check shoulder alignment to match my feet?
Yes, you need to be all square. You can do that or have someone stand down the line and check your positioning.
I started to focus on loose arms. Craziest thing I’ve seen was how much the speed of my down swing increased and how much easier it is to hit the ball. I feel like I’m barely swing the club. Now I notice when my arms are not loose I will not connect to the ball the correct way. I was doing it and not knowing what it was when I was doing it. But I can tell you. The body swing is the easiest way to hit any club.
Very good. Can't believe it took you this long. Stay focused. If I can do nothing and hit it by most people then I am doing it a different way (not hitting). Once you get this it should dawn on you that you will still be able to kill it when you are 75 years old. I want people to have a swing for life!
@@paulwilsongolf bad habits hard to break when you learn the game wrong lol
I always carry at least one stick in the bag now...I'll even use it on the course whenever I feel my position and swing path is off....I had to learn the hard way as I always do
Very good. It's all about making a lot of this stuff a habit. If so, you don't even think about doing it you just do it.
Paul, sorry im taking youre time again. What about tempo/swingspeed. I find it hard to balance it.

This is a great tip. Not surprised given its from Paul
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Hello from France, Master Paul, just a few questions that are bothering me:
Is there a major difference in a driver swing and an iron swing?
When I swing with an iron, I have a rather vertical rise and with the driver it would be rather flat. Is this a mistake on my part?
Thank you for your answer.
Sincerely Marc.
Hello. Nice to meet you. I have some students in France. The difference between the swings is ball position and width of stance. The plane is flatter with longer clubs because they are longer so if you do the same swing this change would happen on its own. You might want to watch these tips. They might give you more explanation:

You're welcome.
When done Paul. Well done
Thanks. This one is huge yet few people see it. Hopefully, people will finally square up. This alone will take their game to a new level.
I guess 5 people sliced the ball a lot because they gave you a thumbs down. Great video and great tip Paul. Thanks!!
You always get thumbs downs. There are idiots out there that just bash me because they seem to think they know everything about the swing. No big deal. I just block them so they keep giving me thumbs downs. Mind boggling that people are like that as I spend and have spent countless hours helping people over the years.
Paul, do you have any tips for clearing the mind and shaking off the mental frustration of a single really bad shot (or hole) before it becomes a compound problem? I know being angry creates tension making it hard to keep the arms loose and focus on the current shot at hand in a relaxed manner, but sometimes it's hard to let go of that frustration before the next shot.
I was playing a really nice round of golf yesterday when I finally hit a slice onto another fairway and lost my ball (I swear somebody picked it up because it landed on the fairway and not in any rough or trouble but yet was nowhere in sight when I got there just as a foursome on that fairway drove their carts away). I was pretty mad about having to add 2 strokes for a lost ball but I still finished the hole with a 6 which meant I shot par but for the lost ball. Really not too bad, but... still thinking about the lost ball, I walked up to the next tee box and skulled a 9 iron over a short par 3 green and got a 4. Still not a terrible score, but I let that skulled shot get added to my lost ball frustration. Then on the 8th tee box, still thinking about the lost and skulled balls(!), I hit my driver waaaay out of bounds and lost a 2nd ball. At that point, I was so mad at having to add 2 more penalty strokes and losing a 2nd ball that I topped the next two shots, then hit a tree, then skulled it over the green, then chipped it over the green, then putted long then short and wound up with a totally uncalled for 10 on a par 5. I know my problems on that 8th hole were due to being angry, tense, making bad club choice decisions, and eventually just hitting it with a "who cares my round's ruined" poor attitude. I was FINALLY able to say "oh well" and breathe/relax/recover at the 9th tee box where I hit a really nice straight and long loose arms drive (probably my best of the day) but I remember saying right after that nice drive, "who cares, too little too late" which wasn't the attitude I wanted to have when finishing my 9 hole round. As we walked to the car all I thought about was that 10 and how I never should have let that hole get so out of hand (I'd instantly forgotten all the good shots/holes I'd had before things went south).
That's the kind of thing I've seen happen to my golfing partners and myself many MANY times over the years. It's not usually something that your playing partner can shake you out of either or that you can shake out of them when they're having a bad round. What do you tell your students to do to calm themselves down after a bad shot(s) so they don't do what I did? I don't think I've played a single round of golf in my whole life without one person in my group saying, "I should have stayed home" and even worse when the one person's in that bad state of mind very often the other(s) are playing really well which can add extra salt to the wound... although sometimes it creates belly laughs because we all know what's happening yet we can't seem to stop that Indiana Jones boulder of frustration from rolling.
The problem is you don't know how to fix your swing. You hit a bad shot then you hit another or attempt the wrong fix and it just becomes guessing. So the bad shots continue so you get mad. This is why it happens to your friend too. I need you to change how you think. First, you are never going to hit every shot perfectly. So you need to be on the look out for the bad shot or the clue that bad shots are about to start happening.
1. Bad shots start happening because you are playing well. If so, you will want to hit the ball even longer and harder. When this happens the arms activate you will start coming out of it looking for these amazing shots you think you are going to hit. So you start hitting it thin, topping or slicing.
th-cam.com/video/cNhIyhi136E/w-d-xo.html
In your case you sliced it. This is swinging too hard locking your wrists and coming out of it. As soon as you did that you should have realized it and started immediately working on rolling the wrists to keep them loose.
th-cam.com/video/GnQ2FfdQBDo/w-d-xo.html
You would be doing this in practice swings before hitting your next shot. You would not be thinking of this as you hit your shot thought. You are doing it to unlock the wrists. You are always thinking body to hit the shot.
2. Slow down. As you see in the first tip I posted as soon as you start hitting these shots it's telling you that you are swinging too hard. So on your next shot slow down to 50%. Your 50% is actually 70-80% which is how hard you should be swinging anyway.
3. Learn how to fix your own swing. You need to get into the habit of watching your ball and analyzing what you are doing wrong and immediately start applying the correct fix. I have a whole section on this in my body swing product. I do touch on it in this tip:
th-cam.com/video/o_YFEIiNxZk/w-d-xo.html
In simple terms, the wrists affect spin. The body affects direction and hitting with arms affects contact. So a slice has you with the face wide open. Not sure this was actually a slice. Probably a push fade. So you would have rolling the wrists 5-10 times before hitting your next shots and watched your next shot. This should have eliminated the slice spin. If not, you roll it again etc. plus slowing down you should have hit the next shot straight. So it is watching your ball and working on either the wrists or body or loosening up to get it back.
Now you see why you are not alone. Your friends will go through what you are going through too because they don't know how to fix it either. So you see how focusing on the ball and getting it back will outweigh you getting mad at hitting the bad shots. Now into the future you need to make it a habit to watch your ball and understand what is happening so you get on applying the right fix.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks, Paul. I appreciate all of your help. I'll definitely work on putting that advice to use. Instead of loosening the wrists and slowing down before the next shot, I definitely tried to hit harder, faster and farther to try and make up for lost ground after those bad shots which is the exact opposite of what I should have been thinking about. Instead I should watch the ball flight, identify the problem (and accept that bad shots will happen), unlock the wrists for a while before stepping up to hit the next shot (but don't think about the wrists once I go to hit the actual shot), then think "hit it 50% nice and easy" instead of harder and faster (and going from my backswing point A to a full finish at point B which has really helped). All that stuff went out the window for a couple holes for sure due to reflexively going into Incredible Hulk mode and thinking about blowing up my score card instead of thinking about fixing my swing by using the above steps. Thanks again!
You've got this. Stay focused on your new plan I laid out.
Awesome video 👍🏽
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Need help with at the tee with my swing i slide a lot I need help ⛳️⛳️⛳️

I film myself often. I find when my swing becomes poor and I'm in a funk, it's all because of my alignment getting sloppy
Exactly what I was saying in the video. Glad you are aware of it. Just keep putting the stick down every time.
Hey Paul I always struggle with a tendency to lose my swing towards the end of the round but today I stayed focused throughout pretty much the entire round because I realised that swinging out of my shoes IS NOT the way to good golf. The main thing I focused on the whole round was loose wrists. Whenever my right wrist locked up I would hit these pushes or thin shots. I have to trust that loose wrists WILL result in good strikes as long as I'm coiling and uncoiling my body. I was getting Par and Birdies on these tight par 5s with water and OB on either side of the fairway because I was able to hit my woods and wedges dead straight because of loose wrists, even out of the rough! Thanks for the tips.
Wow that's great. Yes, hitting is not going to work. Loose wrists is key along with coiling and uncoiling. We all want more. Greed is not good in golf though. I keep saying this but into the future don't see your hands as hands and wrists as wrists. Imagine it's a metal hinge. How would this work in life? It would be loose. So any tightness would not be there in a metal hinge. If so, the hinge would be rusty which is not going to work very well. If you think like this you will realize and trust the looseness every time. Watch this one to see it: th-cam.com/video/jEWe9Gaoqxo/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf That is such a good way to look at it because it is true! Your hands and wrists are simply there to impart force from the body. Any tightness slows down the transfer of the full force.
Paul i am interested in a lesson via coach link. If you are offline and i request to be added to the waiting list how does this work when you call me back as i will likely be home and not at the range?
I just called you back but no answer. Not sure if that feature is working. You phone should ring. I am home for a little longer today then going to play. I am off right now until October so I am home most days. If it says HIRE then I am sitting right there waiting for my phone to ring.
@@paulwilsongolf Yeah thats what i mean mate im not at the range at the minute i clicked the call back as i thought it would schedule a time so i know to go to the range in advance of you calling. But no my phone didnt ring. Okay cool i will give you a call next time i go to the range.
Sir, plz tell me why I pop up my drives? I know it's hard without seeing my swing, but if you could tell me the possible main reasons why I'm popping up my drives. Thank you for your time.
You are skying it because you head is moving ahead of the ball in the downswing. You need to keep your head back as you hit the ball. Do that and it is impossible to sky it. This tip explains the head position:

@@paulwilsongolf But if you keep your head back, aren't you keeping your weight on the right side, instead of the left?
Thanks for the reply .. I'll be sure to watch the above tips over and over again.
No because you are getting off your right side as you fire the lower body. It's like hitting the accelerator on a car. Fire the lower and the upper goes back. I talk about it in this tip: th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html

This happens to me almost every round. It's frustrating. I'll play 4-5 holes and will absolutely flush the ball. I can be even be under par. And then something happens and I will just hit terrible shots. Fat shots, thin shots, and shanks. I can't even explain it.

I explain what YOU need to do. I explain it, I show what YOU need to do and sometimes I hit shots other times I don't. I do have other tips you know. I am making the tens of thousands of people play better (read the comments) with these tips. I suggest you watch and listen to what I am saying and do it.
