Golf Impact: How to Square the Clubface Consistently

[@nige99]

Paul you are the BEST on KZbin loose wrists are the secret to great ball stricking....cheers

[@alzoubi607]

I just started golfing last summer and I got good. Unknowingly I developed a very strong grip and lost ball flight and hooked it all the time. During winter and injury I lost my swing and was so frustrated so I searched youtube for help, Paul was able to show me exactly what to fix and how to fix it. went to the range today and like magic my swing is back. thank you so much 😊

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you found me. Not fun when you lose your swing. Been there many times. See the simplicity of it. Hinge/rehinge ... coil/uncoil. Keep up the good work.

[@Kazyman]

This vid & also 'Golf Distance: How To Hit The Drive Longer' are (in my opinion) 2 of the best golf vids in circulation. They jettisoned my game in just a 30 minute session at the driving range, practicing what Paul taught in both vids. I was so impressed with the results that I had the confidence to put it to the test that day whilst playing a match with my golf buddies at a course I never played & easily won the match as this "new" concept swing I adopted from Paul worked for every club in my bag. It was as effortless as it was EASY on my back. For the first time in YEARS I'm excited about my game. PROPS, PAUL & MANY THANKS!!! This technique IS a keeper! Wow!

[@1slander1970]

Thank you for this video. I just had a lesson from a young instructor who made our entire first (and final) lesson about holding the angle through impact. I am not a pro, I am a recreational golfer that plays in the low 90s consistently. Your explanation is exactly what I was looking for to complete the missing link of my swing. I will use this method and I believe that it will stop my occasional slicing by forcing me to swing inside. Thanks again...

[@jbabyassmonkey]

I have to say, this absolutely changed my entire game! I think this is the best video on the internet and I can't thank you enough.

[@martinhofer8306]

Great drills - you are a golf pope. I’m playing golf for 35 years now and you pushed me to a new level. I absolutely Love your way of teaching!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. This is just a taste. I have so much other info I could post. Keep at it.

[@hawaiiboy4163]

Thank you Paul for all your videos! You explain things better than anyone else I have ever watched on video. Your lessons are very helpful!! Keep the videos coming, you're doing an awesome job!!

[@williamwalter1779]

The video on developing a slow and effortless looking golf swing presents a superb lesson. One of the best 'training' videos I have ever watched!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

[@HoodooGuru111]

I've been playing golf for a few years, and have struggled to understand the concept of the right hand angle. Since seeing this video and a couple of weeks on the driving range has completely changed how I play this game. I have some ways to go, but i am starting to understand 'effortless' golf. Thank you.

[@SHANKERNAIR]

You are the best Paul. I watch your videos before heading to the range every now and then and it improves my game everytime. After 3 years of struggling with the driver, I watched one of your driver videos before going to the range where you explained the release and to loosen your hands to generate speed and I started hitting my driver about 80 - 100 yards extra. It was ureal ! Thank you :)

[@pedromcdodge]

blew... my... mind! Thanks Paul. Between you and David Leadbetter, you guys have really improved my game from 18 HCP to 11. Huge respect mate! Thanks

[@Tall-Cool-Drink]

Your videos have helped me play better golf. Thanks, Paul.

[@haamaanaa]

Just watched this video 4 hours ago, went to the range and tried out 240 swings with your painless, effortless, relaxed style and I do feel like it improved my golf shot distances immedeately. I have onlt practiced golf for few years, but this technique feels to have most impact for my swing. Thank you!!

[@FairwayJack]

Thanks Paul...good to see your site is getting so many views...My current swing thought that dove tails nicely with this lesson is "lower case y at impact and capital Y post impact"...really gets the shaft working thru the shot too

[@goheyn]

Thank you, thank you, this is the best explanation of release I have ever seen. Paul, you've got the best instruction on the the web, please keep them coming.

[@ReverseDesignLtd]

Many thanks Paul. This is brilliant! I've had many lessons and watched many golf videos, but never found anything as clear and as simple as this. I now understand about the mechanics, rhythm and 'whip' of the swing much better. I can now hit the ball longer, straighter and with much less physical effort. As always, there's more work to do on my swing, but already I can see a huge improvement. Keep making the videos - they're brilliant. Thanks again.

[@rodneybutterfield9881]

This tip is fantastic. I have never seen the release of the golf club explained so simply. Can't wait to get to the range tomorrow to test this out, thanks Paul !

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

[@dtaylor8020]

Hi Paul. Just want to say that this was a 'lightbulb' moment for me. Finally I get it. Went to the range after watching this and hit a bucket of balls - (all easy short pitch shots) and I can't believe how effortless it was. Slowly working it up to speed with the longer clubs. Thanks!

[@NonnyStrikes]

the "power off" is the best way to describe the golf swing. Thank you so much for this paul.

[@fluffnstuff91]

finally found a vid that thoroughly explained what exactly the wrist does throughout the swing. irons have been a pain in the butt ever since I started playing. this vid is extremely helpful.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. Forget impact. It is not the widest point of the arc.

[@Dreama40]

I'm off a 7 hcp and my last 4 rounds i've shot 72,70,73,71 on a par 70 course. Mr Wilson your tips have improved my game immensely, great work. THIS GUY IS THE REAL DEAL. Most on here are full of c___.

[@FSAUDIOGUY]

Paul, thank you for sharing your expertise with us. We value your teachings so very much!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad I can help. Thanks.

[@jeremyburningham7649]

This makes so much sense. I'm a big guy and I was not getting any power out of my swing which made no sense. On my own at the range I saw how a looser wrist was helping me with my swing and delivering more power. Golf is fun and you want to rip monster hits but we get pumped and over squeeze the club locking everything up and taking away club head speed. However with Paul's video's here I see the other factors to bring the swing to function fully. Thanks so much! I'm going to try and implement these tips.

[@dusanrepel]

Paul, two years ago I bought the revolution golf videos. I have to say it was an excellent investment. I always go back to it having some problem on a golf course. I know it sounds a bit fishy but what Paul is saying in his videos is simply working for me perfectly, I just cannot believe it. But watching lots of other golf videos this is by far the best for me. It really works. Many thanks Paul. Dusan

[@vickhartunian1632]

Thank you Paul. I took your tips, worked on the secession teaches how to point the right knee in down swing to the second ball forward: works every time. By the way watching your videos in the last two months helped to improve my game from high to low 80s, and feel I can do better. Thank you again.

[@royrubin7259]

Paul, took a year or so but I came back to your grip videos and hitting at 3/4 speed videos and it all came together. Took some lessons with a pro this year and he wanted me to hit the draw, but I just couldn't do it. Fades or big hooks with the driver kept me from breaking 80. Also I lacked distance. Anyhow your grip and the idea that the top hand is the club head allowed me to strike the ball with the spin I needed like hitting a left-handed ping pong backhand over-spin, that's the best way to describe it. If I need the fade, no problem, just address the ball a half inch towards target. Hope that helps folks?

[@mrshaboom1]

great video paul. i know 2 do this drill often but sometimes i need 2 be reminded. thanx paul wilson

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very welcome. We definitely need to be reminded. Lots of distractions out there.

[@parkersmithphoto]

Jim Flick and Bob Toski advocate(d) a drill like this called "Tee to Re-Tee" or the "L to L Drill." It really gets your hands releasing through the shot, compressing the ball rather than wiping it or blocking it. If your shots sometimes fly straight right, it's a sure bet that you didn't release the club head. I spent (wasted) many years trying to master the "One Plane Swing" with its body controlled release. Weak shots, flying all over the range. Once you start releasing the club like Paul shows here, you will be amazed at the effortless power and higher trajectory, in addition to much greater consistency. If you are hooking it, CHECK YOUR GRIP!! Nice work, Paul!

[@gordonmercer6742]

Cant wait to try this at the range. Did some practice swings and let my right arm extend after impact. Felt comfortable and more natural than what I was doing before. Thank you.

[@michaeljgrein2813]

Great tips Paul and won 2015 Calumet CC Seniors Championship

[@krukus7]

Just about to play my first ever game your videos are well explained can't wait to apply what you have taught, thanks in advance Paul u da man.

[@BRJRowan]

Great video. Best description of a good release I've seen on youtube!

[@douglasramey3162]

Paul, love how you explain your methods, really good stuff in every video!

[@MrMahmoodChowdhury]

For 6 months i had been searching for this solution. u r so great, thanks Paul.

[@mingbozhao8823]

Very nice, Paul! I like the drill to loosen up the wrists. Thank you.

[@stevebee92653]

This is the best and only vid that instantly helped my game. I am in shock at how straight I am hitting the ball. I am so used to hooks and slices. Now? Up the middle most times, with more yards. This also helps my body rhythm. My whole swing feels so much better, and relaxed because I know where my club is supposed to be, and at what point on the swing. Thanks t ton!

[@yuenchea]

Paul, i know this video has been for 7 years but I would like to express a million thanks for this info, I am hitting ball solid and straight because of this!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. So glad you liked it. This is what I was mission after 10 years of trying to get my swing back. Glad you found it and liked it.

[@zergstar9]

Thanks a lot Paul ! By Just watching Your Videos, my score improved by at least 5 strokes ! ( I watched all your videos only once, and applied it to my swing) And I know it will be even better as more time goes by ! You are the Best teacher I have Seen ! You Rock man ! Thanks A lot !

[@MrDjklyd]

I watched this video before I played 18 today. My score has drastically improved. The way you explained the pulling force changed my perception on the game. Thanks Paul !

[@ReverbShack]

Really great advice. I have struggled with the wrist part of my game more than any other part. This video really resonated and helped me improve.

[@cordellwalker1165]

That's a great explanation. I was manually trying to hold the angle and the hinge for tne so called lag and my game went down the tubes. Thanks

[@rollovr15]

Great video i have been trying to hold the wrist angle and have really struggled with consistence thanks i have some food for thought and some drills to practice

[@sledge1960]

Still the best teaching pro on YT.

[@bcruz4164]

great tips...hit a bucket today....best striking I have ever had in 60 years of playing. Torso turn...knee touch with the ropes. Kept speed at 70% .Ball flight was high and long even into a 10-15 MPH cross wind. Brought back the waggle into my address to emphasize loose wrists. Thanks Paul.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. I love hearing it. People are amazed when less produces more. Hope everyone tries it. The problem is if the person doesn't hit it great in 3 balls they go right back to the old swing. Got to keep swinging easy until you see you can do it.

[@rolirolster]

Great tip, I think this is linked to the fact that the less effort I put into hitting the ball, the further it seem's to go.

[@김경택-o4j]

Thank you for your tips. Very helpful for me.

[@joeytatt]

you're the best teacher on you tube, thanks

[@capkarr]

Paul thank YOU!!! Excellent! You have no idea how much you have helped me and my students. I like your teaching approach.... as well.... Regards, Hogan Strider

[@ElSkinsio]

Your videos are great Paul. Very well explained.

[@happyBellaXD]

This is SO helpful!! Exactly what I need as a beginner! thank you so much for making such amazing videos~

[@411NOW]

great tip, easy to repeat on the range

[@bobreimer]

Nice explanation of what the swing should look/feel like. Not overly technical, but very helpful.

[@darko714]

Just had a lesson. The pro said that squaring the clubface is the ONE thing that is the I'm not doing consistently. Whenever I concentrated on it (by trying to roll my right wrist over), I started to have the same problem herb0666 did: I was hitting the ground just before I hit the ball. I'm going to try your drill later today.

[@peanutt98]

Thanks Paul. Your videos are explained very well.

[@hindeshotelra]

Great explanation and drills

[@SethKash]

Paul, I notice these videos for the most part have a little age. Hope you’re well and still in the game. Anyway I want to say I’ve played for forty years and this is the very first time I’ve heard or seen someone explain the proper release. The things that most people go through who don’t live in a more dense population in order for quality teaching but I think it’s here. Appreciate the manner in which you explain as well. Natural!

[@paulwilsongolf]

I've been posting daily for about 3 months. You can catch up here: kzbin.infovideos Everything is good here. We take Covid seriously here as we are around casino people daily pre-covid even. I updated that tip here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJvMiaV9gdCkoJI and just posted a drill for it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnRh5Sgoq-YoMk very important position. Glad you see it. Thanks for your support.

[@SethKash]

Paul Wilson Golf Good deal. It was during the drill that I saw the info never seen by me. The whip action that looks as if the arms stop and the hands are thrown by gravity at the ball. That the deal my friend and will share and recommend. Already subscribed so be safe there. Knowledge is always the key. Thank you.

[@SethKash]

Sorry didn’t mean to say that the arms just stop. I meant the snap generated by the body and the ride along arms. Finally!

[@matthewl1187]

I simply love your videos and information. I can't wait to try this stuff out.

[@aarnlewis]

This is absolutely amazing. Changed my game almost immediately.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Glad you found this one. This is huge.

[@mikewabrown1052]

This is the kind of help I need. Thank you

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it.

[@oldbear103]

thanks Paul really excellent teaching! you've made me a happier man on the golf course

[@bizzwoofer]

Great lesson, this actually really helped me with my swing. The missing piece in the formula, thanks.

[@Miocon]

Great video Paul. I've really struggled with this. I will get to work on this right away. I'll let you know the results.

[@anthonylasalata7483]

Great tip. I’ve been struggling to hit the center of the face. Always hitting it high or towards the toe. I’ve always had good rotation back and through but didn’t have it in my mind it straighten the lead arm through impact. Did it just now, today and WOW. Started to smash the ball again. Thanks Paul! Wonderful tip

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. I love hearing it.

[@worddown9737]

very casual and smooth. i find when i get fast and stiff gripping down loosens my hand/arms up a bit.

[@derekpanton2878]

Brilliant! I learnt how to set the club at the top, but never really learnt how to start the downswing, and release after the ball. Lots of practice now….

[@bobcarter4343]

Great insight here... I have been holding the angle of the right wrist to take a divot but have tried this and it works. Many thanks for the explanation.

[@paulwilsongolf]

This occurs due to having he right fundamentals. Using the lower body to power the swing tilts the upper body back in the downswing. Couple this with the arms fully extending and you get a divot. Buckle the arms or raise up and you will not get a divot. So loosen your arms and work on power the swing with your legs and hips. You'll see.

[@vickhartunian1632]

Paul I leant a lot from watching your teachings. I need a few exercise to learn how to hit the ball with taking divot in front of the ball. Thanks

[@phildamz7006]

Thank you for the great videos. But, still extremely difficult to perfect at the range. I am trying to be looser. But, the ball is still hooking and slicing. My game is going to take a long time to improve.

[@trevorcampbell4650]

You solved all my problems! Thank you!

[@h0110w]

very well explained. this is really helpfull.

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Thanks Paul for your great advice , I have been hitting my 7 wood very strait and flush since I tried your advice , loose arms muscles and a good weight transfer , its been very affective thank you , what my game needs is good mid iron advice , thanks again . Mike .

[@rojasashlito6265]

Top tip, thanks from Wales !

[@paulwilsongolf]

Happy to help!

[@kathymedlar]

Good drill...your explanations are so clear...thank you!!!

[@mannyboy669]

This is interesting. .it's Another approach of playing golf, it is very different from other videos golf training videos, I'm gonna give this a try, but I think I would start all over again if I try to do this golf style and technique and even the hip motion are different, I hope this style works for me so I would be playing golf with less effort and more consistent if I do it right!!

[@DavidLee-kr2nl]

Very practical points. Learned a lot.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@marypalid2192]

I have been trying to get the correct position at impact for years. I can do it in slow motion but not at full speed. Maybe this will help!

[@ruirodrigues8880]

Love your videos Paul👍🏼

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks I appreciate it. I have posted a lot of new tips recently. Here they are: kzbin.infovideos

[@robyrob73]

Seen this video several times..... and it just clicked. I used this drill before but was able to connect the dots a little better this time and driver/irons were much straighter. This drill however seems to bring back my baseball balance on the back foot a little more though. I seem to be thinking about clearing space to release in front but for some reason revert to falling back a bit. How do I combine both moves better?? Appreciate your work, thx.

[@rodneybutterfield9881]

Went to the range this morning and tried the tips in this video. Still have a lot of work to do, but occasionally was clearing the 150m distance marker with a 6 iron hit at an easy 75 percent effort. I am not a long hitter so, these suggestions from Paul really seem to work. Funnily enough there was a guy on the adjoining tee hitting it out of site with driver with the slow easy swing. Now I think I understand. Certainly worth giving this a try.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, definitely slow down and loosen up the wrists. Once you get used to this feeling speed up the lower body for more power.

[@RITH5150]

Great video thanks .love the release part

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@RITH5150]

[@far77fae]

It is kind of funny how I had watched this before at least a year ago but now it all makes sense and I am able to apply it. Thanks for the video.

[@kenlavspen]

Hi Paul, Ken here, I have problems hitting balls above my feet is there a video on that swing? I am lefty but, have no problem turning your info to help me. Your lessons have and will help me, loads. I appreciate your tips here, very helpful.

[@freddywayne]

Interesting perspective. One of many ways to hit the golf ball indeed.

[@christopherlook9226]

Thanks! I've known in my mind that the club should free flow, but I could not square the idea of holding that angle through impact. My short irons seem to be ok, but my long irons and woods just pretty much fail 80 - 90% of the time. Almost all of my woods go low and pull hook. I know why, but I can't seem to correct the club face to square no matter what I did. After watchng your videos, it appears my grip is also wrong. So, when this weather system breaks, I will try to put what I have learned from you to the test on my range. I have already tried the grip and swing without a ball. The grip will take some getting used to; however, I like the feel of the down swing.

[@DavidClark-vn1hu]

Brill video Paul I was not releasing my wrists THRU Impact I get more Distance & Strike my irons pure now . Thank You

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks glad you lied it. So many people thinking about impact and where is this getting them? Think beyond the ball.

[@kevanrourke1023]

Great instruction Paul, I've been working on this lately after way too much time spent trying to hold angles to achieve "shaft lean" I'm not sure if the shaft is leaning at Impact but I am finding that my good shots have the ball rocketing off the face with minimal effort. I'm thinking this is from my forearms turning over and supple wrists at impact. Thanks again.

[@zergstar9]

Usually Shoot 15- 20 over par, Last 5 roundings, shot 8-14 over par, amazing tips!

[@texasgold007]

Great tips I have your DVDs and my game has gone from a mid 20s cap to an11 in about one year can't thank you enough

[@bci905]

Great explanation! I tried to keep the wrist angle when hit and it caused many toppings and direction deviations. 😅. After I just let my arms extend naturally, things were much better.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aaron_b.]

The 9 to 3 drill 👍 works so well

[@drewrobertfickett3186]

Great! I was doing exactly this wrong during my swing and now I know exactly how to fix it thanks to Paul Wilson. I have one question, it appears that in some of "Ben Hogans" swing videos it talks about holding the club face square for a longer period then is typical through the end of the swing right before contact and after contact in order to provide better consitency. I was trying to do this, and was doing exactly what you said not to: holding that angle and locking everything up. Just kind of confusing in the Hogan swing videos cause it talks about holding that square face through contact, but according to what your saying that if I hold this through I'm going to lock up and lose energy and constency. def gonna try it tomorrow. Thanks Paul.
