GOLF TRANSITION - EASY WAY TO START YOUR LOWER BODY IN THE DOWNSWING

In this golf transition tip I show you an easy way to start your lower body in the downswing. This will get you learning a powerful, effortless, pain free golf swing.
Almost everyone I teach tries to start the downswing with their arms. This is due to trying to hit the ball sitting on the ground. The more distance they want, the harder they hit. The problem is that hitting hard locks your wrists losing power and consistency. The tighter the wrists, the slower the club swings.
So although it may feel good to hit with the arms you will never develop a powerful, effortless and pain free golf swing like this. There is an easy way to hit the ball so much longer and better with both irons and driver. It all starts at transition. As you start down, here's an easy way is to start your lower body in the downswing and let your arms follow.
Work on your golf transition by watching this tip and trying it when you practice and even when you play. Once you make the switch to the lower body starting your downswing, you can finally turn your arms off and hit the ball longer and straighter than ever.

[@kin84090]

Great tip! It is so counterintuitive to do that but it's the correct way to do it. Thanks!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Got to have a downswing trigger for sure. Get this and your whole game changes.

[@jamespagel7537]

Thank you very much for this video Paul. I was a decent golfer who backed away from the game after years of fighting off the dreaded shanks and weak pushes. After numerous lessons and frustrations I didn’t what to do. I came across this video and watched my swing is slow motion. Sure enough, I was leading the downswing with my hands/arms and never made a complete turn. Once I tried what you suggested I immediately saw improvement and better contact. I can play and enjoy golf again! Thanks Paul!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad to help. I have worked with countless people in the same boat. Within no time I can get people back on track especially those who were good players at one time because they already know how to use the legs and hips. Now you are on track keep trying to get the confidence back. I don't want you to miss out on playing great golf.

[@alexlindsey6446]

Very simple yet very powerful lesson here. It's not really a "tip" this gentleman is providing here. It's more of a "gift". I'm a scratch golfer and if you were to listen to no other golf instruction EVER for the rest of your life, you're going to do just fine if you keep working on what he says in this 10 minute clip and then keep building on it. So many instructors over complicate the swing and confuse people with their teachings. People leave feeling that the pro is blessed and they could never do this and they feel the teacher means well but is simply way more talented at golf than you'll ever be. NOT TRUE. Many golf pros don't know how to teach. This one is crystal clear in communicating, tells the simple TRUTH, and if you can just believe that's it's really not that complicated then it'll work. If you are looking for some long technical explanation for how the golf swing works then go elsewhere and keep being confused. No joke. Paul obviously cares or he wouldn't share this video. Nice of him. Many of you have no idea the power of what he's saying here. Don't dismiss this video.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you picked up on that. Years ago when I was learning the swing I made it complicated. It got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Simple is the key for sure. I have always thought this way. If you understand it, then you will see the importance and actually do it.

[@maralvor]

Extremely helpful comment Alex particularly from someone of your handicap ability!. This completely vindicates my own thoughts-albeit I am a mediocre golfer! Going elsewhere has resulted in my becoming totally confused. Not any more!

[@dougarmstrong4204]

I agree 100%

[@andythomas2796]

I agree, I'm not the most competent golfer but Paul is a natural teacher and improving is the result. Going to really work on this lesson.

[@DD-eight]

Couldn’t agree more!! I’ve played golf since I was 6 and even played NCAA golf. Not one person has ever came close to what I’ve picked up just watching Paul!! I wish he was my uncle 😅

[@dorisdavidson7849]

Looking forward to trying this.

[@paulwilsongolf]

This is big. Most of my students choose this way to start their downswing. Remember, the power comes from the lower body not the hands and arms.

[@stevenwilson6699]

Awesome thanks 😊

[@paulwilsongolf]

Welcome 😊

[@steejsjurgens2107]

Simple and effective

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

[@bj146651]

Are you pressuring the ground when you turn your buckle?

[@tommoore3292]

I must try this ,im wrecking my back being all armsies😢

[@paulwilsongolf]

Try this for 1 week as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLIm6l6l9ySl6M

[@bk8443]

Great video! But it is so hard to ignore hands and arms for speed. After 30 years, keeping hands and arms soft and loose take a lot of mental focus and concentration.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure is. That's why you need to do it and see great results not hitting the ball with the arms. I guarantee you have hit one ball in your life 30-50 farther with a feeling of nothing. If so, you couldn't have used your arms. So why would you not want that feeling all of the time?

[@jeetinderbahia9559]

I can testify that Paul Wilson's philosophy 100% works. What helped me personally master it, was standing up straight with the golf club held out in front of me and then rotating just my shoulders (ie keeping arms powerless) for the backswing and then rotating hips (again keeping arms powerless) for the downswing. This really gets you feeling the body doing the work in your swing, not your arms. Then I do one more practice swing with my upper body tilted and club in the air, repeating the same movement. Then, I go ahead and hit the ball with the same movement. The only other things I focus on is making sure I rotate my shoulders as far as possible on the backswing and ensuring I have hinged my wrists at the top of the swing. I then have a momentary pause at the top of the swing and let my lower body rip. It works, trust me! Thanks for saving my game Paul.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. That drill is a good one. Gets you turning not dipping the shoulders.

[@lukehuang4225]

Will that steep the swing?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, if you shift and lean left. No one is doing or teaching that around here. You turn. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZyZZJKcjrh0g8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2myaoGfltiIhK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJnYiKN6YpabrMk

[@billhill4929]

Paul, I took this to the range today, just got back and ran up here to tell you...HOLY CRAP unbelievable how far and straight EVERY ball went!!! So excited, you're the man, man!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Now you see it. This is a turning point for you.

[@billhill4929]

Paul Wilson Golf absolutely a turning point. This changes everything!!!

[@BobSimmons-y6i]

Too much is a bazeball swing

[@larrysullivan8890]

1 @user-bd7px7cl7l.....so you're telling the world that you tried this and really gave the " bazeball" swing a chance and it didn't work for you ? Please post the links to YOUR videos so that the rest of us can learn you're method. Thank you !

[@ArtJorgensen]

Yet another great video from the master! I've been following your advice for several months now and have become a total convert. I'm 82 years old with an index of 20.1. Yet, using your techniques, I shot 80 at Four Mile Ranch two days ago and 83 today at Murphy Creek. I expected to hit the ball farther using the body instead of my arms but I am very pleasantly surprised how easy it is to hit the ball straighter as well. Just as an aside, I find that turning my hips as you prescribe is difficult but can be done with some effort and training. The hardest part for me is not letting the arms help in any way at all. In tense situations they want to jump in and "add" some help. And why not? That's how I did it over over 60 years!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. Nice round. Now that is a huge improvement. When you are ready start firing the lower body faster. This is how to get more. I would do this when you have more low 80's under your belt. Glad you know not to use your arms. I still tell myself to not do that.

[@golfingmadeeasy]

@@paulwilsongolf Older people - senior golfers - have trouble "firing" the lower body faster. It's a matter of flexibility, strength, and balance.

[@lukecodling6829]

This is one of the best golf tips I have ever watched on KZbin. A lot of golfers me included have long struggled with the arms being far to fast for the lower body in the down swing. This bit of advice you have given has cured that problem. When I get to the top of my swing now my first trigger thought is buckle which makes me rotate lower body and everything else falls into place. Thanks Paul from a UK fan 👍

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. You need a thought. Something from the waist down that will get your body moving. It will not move on its own no matter what anyone says. If it did everyone would be good. Fire the lower and let the arms follow. Do that and you hit it dead straight. Good job.

[@dougpicciano6470]

Hardest working man in golf is a Paul Wilson - playing partners think it’s because of my new Ping G425’s I’m hitting the ball farther - I tell them no - it’s because ,of Paul Wilson and his Body Swing golf methods

[@paulwilsongolf]

No doubt. 12 hours today on my day off. Glad you are doing well and thank you for the promo. Need to get the word out. So many people out there need help. Keep up the good work.

[@mfirstchoice]

I’m 72 years old when I’m playing well I’m a 8 handicap when I’m not it’s a 15, it always comes down to transition I get arm happy so this is a great tip, I’ve dumped all my other golf videos and only watch yours you make golf simple

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the support. You need to stay focused and not get greedy. This is tough but if you see it clearly you will know that hitting hard is not going to give you any more distance and it increases the chance of mishits. Be content with the center of the fairway all day long. As I said in a previous tip, confidence breeds distance. You keep hitting fairway after fairway you will start hitting it longer due to confidence without even thinking about it.

[@miketalley4291]

I have been struggling for years with how to start the downswing. Paul’s simple and straightforward instruction is spot on. I went to the range today and hit more solid shots with all clubs in the bag than ever before. I have been a 5 handicap most of my career. Now I believe that I can go to scratch. Thanks Paul!

[@phillipthompson5027]

Hi Paul, another great tip/lesson. I have a quick question though, I have videoed my swing and find that even with my hip rotation I am getting the club above my back forearm on the way down (steep). Is there a way to shallow this out without manipulation? On the way back my hands are in line with my arm pit, my grip is neutral and my wrist is flat. Any advice would be great, thanks.

[@matthewwilson6908]

Another great tip Paul! I'm slowly working my way through all your vids, they're great. Good work man 👍

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like them!

[@richsouthall1937]

Hey Paul, I love your methods and teaching style and how you 'uncomplicate' the golf swing. Quick question: I struggle with swing thoughts when I on the tee box; do this, then this, then that and then do this again...etc., etc. As a result, I get tight and things go awry as you can imagine. Do you have any ideas about this? I want to think less and have a more fluid swing. What are your swing thoughts when you're on the tee box? I'd like to have just 1-2 primary thoughts on the tee box and not 99. Please help!! Thanks!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. I appreciate the support. As for the tee here is what you do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmrUm4eopNmdps0

[@brockgolf2124]

Been using this for about 4 rounds now and it works!!! I’m still having issues rotating in the backswing - I swear you did a tip with a golf ball off the rear ankle for backswing?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. It's in the hips. Keep at it. I did this tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYWvp4Wpn9yZf68

[@wanzainal8963]

Thanks Paul.Ever since I follow your channel , I have improved my score tremendously.Great video.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great job! Keep at it.

[@MarkG_603]

Most of my finest, most purest golf shots, irons or woods, have occurred when I consciously add a MICRO-pause at the completion of my backswing. Paul, I believe this allows my legs and hips (body) to begin the through-swing, with my arms simply going along for the ride. I know that I have been much more active with my lower body movement due to my StacknTilt days. Is this a good thing, bad thing or indifferent? Best, Mark G.

[@MarkG_603]

Hit balls at the rang today, first time in 2 months (hand injury) and also after reviewing many of your videos here during the past 3 days. I never hit more solid, crisp iron shots... 90% with divot. Moving to fairway woods & driver baffled me for a bit and was due to those clubs being so much lighter I knew my arms were overtaking the shot. Several slow practice swings to calm it down was pretty much all it took and then long straight shots, a few with more fade than I'd like, though certainly not going to be concerned with at this stage. StackNTilt got me stuck and tight, you sir, got me loose and relaxed. Thank you! Best, Mark G.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. That is how you know you are getting it. Stick to the new plan. Loose and relaxed will get you a swing for life!

[@kin84090]

Thanks for sharing all those great tips with us, Mr. Wilson. God bless!

[@paulwilsongolf]

My pleasure!

[@garysatterfield7805]

Great drill Paul....... it's really amazing how this stuff is more psychological than it is physical..... it's actually pretty easy to do these moves , the hard part is convincing yourself to do it........ I think you're more my therapist than you are my coach.....thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. Explaining this is a big part of my tips so you know "why." Once you know that you are on your way do doing it.

[@georgejung5429]

Well said, the hard part is convincing yourself to do it ON THE COURSE, I revert back to old habits on the course, it pisses me off. Scared of going wrong wrong.

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Yes. My problem too! It can feel so effortless in practice but hard to replicate on the course because you worry about your score and manipulate the club instead of swinging it with loose arms and wrists. Maybe have to get on the course more often vs practice? Don't worry about score. Handicap.Mental battle as well as physical. Part of it is when it works you're thinking to yourself it can't be this easy and try to incorporate other moves like the pros make but I think their swing types are not compatible with Paul's method.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You need to go out by yourself with 3 golf balls in your pocket. You don't keep score. You swing at 50%. Drop balls and hit extra shots. It is about actually trying something new when you play. If you keep doing your old swing when do you ever change. With driver you pick a close target a few yards away or way way way in the distance that you cannot possibly reach. You cannot pick a fairway bunker at 250. This is a distance thought. So with new targets your thought to hit the fairway not hit it 250 down the fairway. Keep doing this by yourself until you get used to it. Right now if you play with others you will think distance and you will hit some bad shots. So try my way and get make the switch. Tons of pro do what I teach (old school). The new swing they are working on is not dominating and never will. Who is #1 right now? Scheffler (old school swing). How did the best of all time swing? Until the new swing (which I tried over 20 years ago which killed my back and I couldn't keep it out of the parking lot to the right) dominates I will never teach this swing. Stay focused. Sounds like you are close but you need to keep repeating it. So do practice swings daily at home. This is the fastest, easiest way to get it.

[@billhill4929]

This is the video that is going to change my golf life! Thanks Paul!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

You bet. This is a big one for sure.

[@stevenburton7922]

Excellent instruction....Ernie Els says the same thing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. This is how better players hit it while looking effortless. Use just the arms and it will never look effortless.

[@danielnardini6672]

I have been watching golf videos for a long time. Your tips makes the most sense to me. As I recover from rotator cuff surgery, I have been practicing the hip turns at home. Your concept of swinging with your body vs. the arms is an eye opener for me. Hopefully, it will translate into results when I can play again next spring.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. I try to say things in ways it registers for people. If you don't get it why would you do it? Glad you are trying it. Keep doing the drills etc. over the winter at home so you will have it when the season starts.

[@ronadkins287]

Paul, this tip is "INCREDIBLE" !!! I have "NEVER" hit my golf ball so far AND SO STRAIGHT !! Thank you Man ! Wow !!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, this is a big one. Glad you are seeing results.

[@skipwalker4728]

Skip Walker - after years of golf instruction I subscribed to your program. In spite of being told before not to swing with my arms, I could never implement a lower body swing. Your program has significantly improved my game. It’s a continuous learning process and I look forward to your tips.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Glad you stuck with it and are starting to feel it. Keep up the good work.

[@GirevikSG]

Brilliant!! I've tried 1,000 different thoughts to start my swing but this never occurred to me. One practice session with this thought and I'm VERY encouraged. Occasionally get it fat or too fadey, but I think I may be on to something. Thanks!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. This is super easy and works great.

[@1812karlos]

New to golf, been playing a year with a bit of Covid disruption and I am all arms, so to see this video has been a massive eye opener. Will try and start thinking about my lower half more. Very clear and concise tip, thanks and great work

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it helped. This is a huge key especially if you are new to playing golf. Most golfers keep hitting with the arms for years and never improve yet every good player uses their lower body to power the swing. If you can keep this thought in mind you will improve super fast and not develop the bad habits on the majority of golfers.

[@philippeportal5295]

Another great tip, thank you Paul. I love the way you teach. I practice your tips every day 10 15 minutes in the garden and I've really improved my game. I'm more confident by now but I must still improve my rotation. This tip will help me for sure. Thank you so much for helping our game.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Fantastic! It's great when I here someone actually doing practice swings at home. This is the fastest, easiest way to to work on your swing. Keep at it.

[@jasonpereira5693]

I'm going to give this a try. I'm really trying to get my arms relaxed, but still failing to start the downswing with my lower body on alot of shots. Great tip!

[@paulwilsongolf]

You got this!

[@bigooboczky5382]

Try coasting to a stop at the top, start turning the belt buckle turning towards the hole and start the hands by dropping them towards the ground which keeps the shoulders and head back.

[@yogeshbhise1078]

Thanks Paul.. all your tips really transform the game. It also makes me think how complicated I had made it for myself.. thanks a lot.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad to help!

[@Lachlan124-b1n]

Did this technique with my wedges and no joke I nailed them 120 yards!! Did ok with the longer clubs but still need more practise.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. It's a start. Just keep at it. Do these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLIm6l6l9ySl6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3amkK2bmtWWqJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKK6laZnrLqcitE kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJnYiKN6YpabrMk

[@paulwilsongolf]

Happy to help. Glad you are doing well.

[@daroldbuskirk180]

Paul, I tried your lag drill tip and in about 15 min I was able to add 10 yards to each iron and 15 more yards of carry to my driver... Best tip ever... I feel like I owe you some money...lol Thank you!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you tried it and saw results. Fun times ahead for you. You can check out my site to support me if you feel the need. paulwilsongolf.com

[@Popspicker]

Paul, This is the miracle one for me, after years of watching videos of people talking about lightbulb moments.I have tried everything trying to cure my slice. Just hit 50 balls at the range and honestly, I didn't hit one slice using this (so it's obvious what I have been doing for years) also I was hitting my 3 wood off the mat further than I usually hit driver. The sound was incredible. I am going to do more and more practise on your teachings and cannot thank you enough for getting me on the right road. AT LAST I AM USING MY HIPS CORRECTLY!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Curing slices is simple. It only takes me minutes. Glad this one helped you. Hope you are still doing it.

[@maheshkhera2916]

Paul, this is the best tip. I practice it at home and I have tried it on the course, it has given amazing results. I need to practice to become good at kicking my legs and hips harder in the down swing to get longer distance. Accuracy has already improved. Thanks a lot for your excellent lessons.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, this is a big one for sure. You need to do this every day for a while until you get used to it. Do it along with this drill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLIm6l6l9ySl6M If you do, you will hit it longer than every. I hand it to people on a silver platter yet they don't do the work. You get this and you will hit it better than you ever have. Stay focused and stay loose.

[@bobpower8411]

Hello from Nova Scotia, golf is back! I'm 70 and I took a couple of tips, yes gifts, and put them in place. Just changing my grip to neutral made a big difference. I am now working on my setup and using my hips and legs. It almost makes you swing slower and smoother. The best instruction I have ever seen anywhere. I can't wait to see where I'm at in a couple of months. Thanks so much. P.s. I love your straight forward method, anyone can understand the lessons. Great,!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the support. Glad you are trying it and seeing results. Let's make this a great season for you.

[@rolandgillham8535]

Second time of seen your teaching methods. So simple and so different from others. Thanks I will be trying them. Roland from South Africa

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you so much. I have quite a few students in South Africa. I was almost born there too. I keep it simple. I say things in certain ways on purpose so people will understand it. That's half the battle. You need to understand how it fits in the whole picture. Once you do, you will keep doing it. Keep at it and you will be playing your best golf in no time. Please subscribe if you haven't done so already.

[@russelllewis7338]

Thanks Paul, what a great tip. My golf game has improve a lot due to watching your videos. Regards Russell from Perth Australia.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Excellent. I have a good following in Australia. You love your golf.

[@russelllewis6587]

Very much so.

[@zero2herogolf]

Great instruction Paul. Don't want to say too much, but 260 yard drives today, and some of that was because of you! Keep up the great content.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great. You are heading in the right direction. Knew you could do it.

[@scottsickich2853]

Good stuff Paul. I am a retired PGA pro and do enjoy your “tips” and methods of instruction. I saw your bunker lesson with ball opposite the left ankle and used it to quit decelerating. It worked well. Sometimes we have to think differently to help execute a shot.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you so much. Yes the bunker lesson is so simple if you just see it differently. Too many people want to make it too difficult. Keep it simple.

[@henrymowbray3847]

I'm so glad I found your channel Paul! I love the way you teach and your videos are so clear. I will definitely be working on this hip rotation. Thank you!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. Simple is the key for sure. Keep at it.

[@patrickmurphy4912]

Wonderful advice, I'm so looking forward to working on this at the range. Something tells me that this body movement will also help for the casting problem. Thank you so much Paul !

[@paulwilsongolf]

If you are casting you are moving the mass (club) before the axis (body). Need to reverse it. Also, try this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaq9iXyvf7N7Y7s

[@swardmusic]

I am now 36 and hitting with my arms really took a toll on my back. I've been drilling similar to this but thinking about my legs driving everything. Which ends up moving the hips and all the way up the chain without thinking of them

[@paulwilsongolf]

If you are hurting now just imagine when you are older. Glad you caught it. Stay on track with this. In now way should my swing hurt your body. Just power it with your legs and hips and try to not hit or help the shot with the arms. You will be able to play forever doing this.

[@larrysullivan8890]

2 quick observations : Now I'm swinging the club instead of hitting at the ball 2) easier to keep my head behind the ball....THANKS !

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Those are great changes. Please keep doing them and getting used to them. This is going to make a huge difference to your game. Good job.

[@steveconnelly9207]

Paul, you make some very good points about the golf swing but I heard Bobby Jones say the same thing in 1931......!!!!!!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

A lot of pros say the same things. There are common moves that we do. I explain "why" you need to do them. Something others don't do.

[@vmcc9070]

Makes sense. Thanks for sharing Sir. The way you explain it it's easy to understand it.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are welcome

[@wordclouds2906]

Very important, correct teaching, thank you. But - why are you trying to teach ballet dancing without teaching foot work? The motion is caused by a specific foot ground interaction. You control the 'action with the bones of the big toes' (classic Percy Boomer teaching ('On Learning Golf', 1942). The entire golf industry has it upside down. It is all 'Ben Hogan' crap (sorry, frustrated about this); are you all hypnotised? Percy Boomer is the only one who teaches the golf swing correctly - 'active below the waist, passive above the waist'.

[@paulwilsongolf]

I agree with this line: 'active below the waist, passive above the waist'. This is exactly what I teach. Keep in mind this is KZbin and these are tips. I'm certainly not going to say everything all in one tip. I talk about the pieces.

[@kangwy20]

thank you. I've just started body turn swing, and the problem is that sometimes it stops turning in the middle of swing. So i've been trying to swing to the follow throw, but it makes my hand to work more unintendedly. Will try with your 'belly to the left' drill. Thank you! Even though I cant speak English that well, your lesson is very easy to understand.😊

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you need to swing all the way through it. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2nYeoivh6toaLs Yes, belt buckle is a good one. So try those and give it a few practice sessions. You need the body working.

[@DanielSmith-ix9vg]

My advice, buy Paul’s Body Swing course. For about $100 (less than 1 lesson from my pro) you get all his stuff in a comprehensive course. #worthit

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the promo and support. I would agree. It's just being able to follow each lesson. If you can do that and do daily practice swings in weeks to a month or two you could literally be playing the best golf of your life.

[@jamesgrehan5258]

How can I transfer my practice ground swing to the course.. I'm hitting the ball beautifully in practice but arms take over on course.. frustrating!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

This is because you don't know exactly where to finish your swing. Not knowing this has you trying to hit the ball. This is due to human nature. I talk about it in this tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0 I'm not going to give everything I teach away on youtube but this is the concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrTZZycgNqNf9k I do teach this in my Body Swing book and videos.

[@medec021]

Excellent, again. Two things: You are teeing up very high and have the ball relatively center with your driver. Could you comment on this? Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Not high at all. Center of the ball is above the face.

[@paulnosworthy4818]

Paul… another great tip. When I practice as you suggested a full bucket for each tip (50 balls) it actually starts good, then goes bad and slowly gets very good (20 shots) again. Where would you stop?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you are doing enough to see the effect. Well, you need to master something. For this you always want to be triggering it with your lower body so this one you would do forever.

[@GirevikSG]

My problem is it when I think about turning my hips, my shoulders tend to stay pointing forward and I struggle to keep everything in sync.

Love this guy but Hate his Bent left arm Back Swing, Very bad look!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

I guess you didn't think that I am not trying to keep my arm straight? I guess you also don't realize the the #1 player dominating the tour has a severely bent arm. These players (and more) have bent arms: Brooks Koepka Jack Nicklaus John Daly Tom Watson Phil Mickelson Kenny Perry Angel Cabrera JB Holmes Curtis Strange Rocco Mediate Bubba Watson Brian Gay Jordan Spieth Marc Leishman Gene Sarazen Harry Vardon Count Yogi Maybe keeping the arm straight is the problem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4XMhWN5bb15aLc

[@jimross8150]

I must be doing something wrong because I've worked on this for weeks and all I hit is pulls and I've watched all your videos

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you are doing something wrong. As you do this you are shifting. I am not shifting I am turning. When you hit the top and shift you lean left. If you lean left you swing left. You need to lean right as you come down.

[@michaelsapoznik5984]

In this particular tutorial, wouldn't it important to keep your arms relaxed and free of tension, for the lower body to do the work, and to aid in over-use of the arms? Great stuff here Paul, but as a non-belt wearer, I'll have to go find one. Thanks!

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure relaxed arms are vital. I talk about this in my other tips. That is a huge part of what I teach.

[@liquidmocofilmsllc4915]

This is absolutely wrong. The arms are not perpendicular to the pelvis meaning the arms have to drop which is not a passive movement. Maybe that is his feeling. The upper and lower body move completely independently. He is simply moving his lower body out of the way to swing his arms down. When you teach a child to hit the ball, you would never tell them to start with the lower body. Children understand that the body has to move out of the way so that their upper body/arms/hand can reach proper impact position.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It is called simple physics of mass (club) swinging around and axis (body) turn the axis the arms will drop without thinking about it 9if you are not trying to hit with the arms). kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDKqplsis97bbc The child has minimal arm strength so as much as they want to hit with the arms they can't. Turn the arms off and the body is the power source. Just look at any kid hitting ball. Read: www.mytpi.com/articles/biomechanics/kinematic_sequence_basics

[@jimcloonan2406]

I keep coming back to this video, /the best advice to start the downswing. I wish I knew this years ago.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. Got to get those hips moving.

[@heribertoquinones5087]

One of the best golf videos I ever watched. ¡Muchas gracias!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow, thanks!

[@patrickwheeler1979]

@paulwilsongolf - It's so much easier to get low point control when you swing like that. It natural takes a divot and the compression is unreal. I love when playing partners ask how you generate so much power. I just let them think it's genetics.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. This is why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZvMkK2voL-fj5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKulmJyLnd6leJY Genetics - good one. Keep them guessing.

[@andrewking760]

Paul after a couple of months of practice and practice, finally I'm hitting the ball with lose wrists, my god what a differents, straighter and longer with hardly any effort, keep up with the great video's, people read this it does work, be patient, thanks Paul 👏👏

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. So glad you are getting it. Hope everyone is reading this. Anyone can do it. Just make a few changes and you are on your way.

[@anthonywillis7634]

im slowly grasping this concept.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great. Understanding is half the battle. Once you understand it keep turning the arms off and make the legs and hips the power source. After you keep seeing great shots with minimal effort you will keep doing it forever.

[@SteveLeach-ti4yx]

Paul I’m in Canada. I was wondering if we could do a private video sometime maybe a FaceTime

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, I do this. Please contact me through my website: www.paulwilsongolf.com/

[@stevepeters3104]

What about keeping your head tilted towards the target per previous advice? You are finished straight up looking at the target. ??

[@paulwilsongolf]

From down the line I am tilted. So yes, do the tilt.

[@bakervinci163]

I just put my cigarette at the spot and swing my buckle to it. No one will ever know 😳😳😳😎😎😎

[@paulwilsongolf]

Sneaky.

[@1967wazzy]

the hardest with all these tips is wheni go to driving range i forget some very important things next time i am gunna record and headphones and take my time and maybe two or three buckets leave the course alone for a cple weeks and figure this out i golfed yrs ago taught the son then now he is a adult he wants me goin with him but i had hrt attack 15 yrs ago and now have defib implnted and what sucks is icannot drive like before only gettin 150yrds maybe 200 irons are no problem just m driver i am so lost i sure hope this helps your videos ar ethe asiest to follow tyvm

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, there is a lot of stuff. You need to pick out one or two things and work on that until mastered. Do daily practice swings at home as once a week is not enough. Practice swings at home is the fastest way to get this stuff. The best thing do work on his hinging and rehinging first. Get the wrists loosened up and get rid of any slice spin. Do that with these tips: wrist release/snap kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7ReIBsrrNqb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Once you can do that then switch your focus to firing your body to straighten it out. This is the easiest one so start with that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8

[@BillyDee159]

Critical that you initiate the downswing with your legs/lower body….Not your hands and arms.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. How everyone is not talking about this is beyond me. I have been teaching this for 30 years. It's just a different power source.

[@mrshaboom1]

thanx paul 4 this tip. U probably said it b4 so I'll ask is the legs flexed in the back swing? just a little or more than that?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. The back leg will be flexed slightly in the backswing.

[@tysongarrett8688]

Getting your arms & "hit" mantra out of your golf swing is like trying to get a dog not to bark at strangers......it still creeps in my minset on course....the way i overcome it is with 2 body swings practice swings in the air and swinging w/o thinking about anything but my belt bucke turning and finishing like this video and having my arms feel like ropes and loose wrists releading following those hips...it helps reset my mindset into the bodyswing mantra on every shot.....it takes probably a whole season and lots of practice swings to make this a permanaent change.....but ohhhh! So worth it!

[@johnjohnson5972]

I like your teach on the down swing using the belt buckle trick , but I would like to suggest that you pace up your presentation and do not repeat too much !

[@paulwilsongolf]

Ahhh ... no. I do everything for a reason. Haven't you hear people are distracted these days? They only retain 17%-25% of what they hear. Take my recent putting video. I showed a graphic for about 15 seconds twice in the video telling people to do something. No sh*t at least 100 people have asked me if they should do it or not. Oh yeah, best teaching practice are to: say it, say it again then re-cap what you said. This is why countless teachers have emailed me over the years commending me on my teaching. You do know you can skip through videos right?

[@billhall2875]

But most pros pass the ankle ball with the buckle you’re referring to.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Not sure what you are saying here. Ankle ball? Explain. Every pro in the world moves their body more than the arms in the downswing. Every pro is open with the hips at impact. Most amateurs are only hitting with arms and not using their hips. This is one of the main differences between pros and ams.

[@harudad]

oh.... i had pains when i did the lower body leading swing... ribs, waist, etc now i have no pains with arm leading swing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

If anyone has pain by turning their hips its because they are super tight and have never done it before. This goes away after a few practice sessions. If you feel you are hitting it better with arms (which I find hard to believe) then you're going to have find another teacher. In no way am I going to ever teach you to hit with your arms.

[@andrewperis5274]

It's a simple way to swing , so much easier. Keep your arms loose and use your hips to swing , so much better

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure is. Simple is the key. Complicated doesn't seem to be working for the majority of people.

[@rjm463]

Are you rolling you left hand on the rotation/dowsing at all? Is it OK to do? Thank Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

I would be rolling if I was working on the wrists release. Once I have the wrists working I am not trying to make it release. I let it release. I have numerous tips on the release here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CyYXtohrN5pZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpyapWyvfaiCY6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYuVXpenhMaoqbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/baDPc6Stjatmf80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHa6lmx9ltSkrtE

HI Paul. How do you feel about the newest instruction of lowering your body in order to shallow the club out ?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Totally not necessary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDKqplsis97bbc been getting people to hit it dead straight for 31 years and not once have I ever told them to lower their body.

[@carlsimone1099]

Great tip and easy to practice thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@douglasscovil3447]

so when do you fire off the hips? at the start of the downswing? near impact? he doesn't say.

[@paulwilsongolf]

That is how you are starting down. So from the top HIPS. Keep the arms turned off.

[@scottsanders2641]

Wouldn’t you come massively over top doing this?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Sure if you were leaning left. In no way would I want you doing that. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKulmJyLnd6leJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOoXpuwib2ahNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKufWp9bbugqNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/pme8iJx4hdOEp6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJSzfpJ8iNR7hK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXm2lJyFhpZod6c

[@CybekCusal]

I liked in your other video when you said to "step on the gas" with the right foot make the rotation start

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. This is one way to start down. Others too but people need to know you are firing with the lower. This takes effort.

[@videom]

this can kill your game if that right hip goes towards the ball!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Not sure what you mean? Goes toward the ball? Sideways? If you are talking about sliding I would agree. I want rotational

[@jameschapman481]

I do this, but it’s causing my hips to get too far out in front of my hands.. Am I needing to actually move my chest first? Because that is what is not making sense for me, and no one can seem to explain. “Lead with your hips” but then you hear “your hips are too far in front” well…yeah, i led with my hips..

[@vincelujan2873]

this was happening to me. And what I was doing wrong was my arms were getting behind my body in the backswing instead of staying more in front on of my body on the backswing. When I fixed they the leading with the lower body didn’t make me spin out early as much. It was a big improvement for me. Not sure if that is happening to you but it was for me.

[@paulwilsongolf]

There is timing between the release and your body rotation. If you only speed up the body of course the face would be held open. I take it about it in this tip. Fix it in not even 5 mins. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE

[@markrich8888]

This video saved me from selling my clubs🤣

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me. No need to sell clubs. I have taught countless people in your position. I was there too but I actually quit for 2 years so I can feel your pain.

[@travisjaggers2114]

Thx for the video Paul. I am curious as to when we get older/less flexible, would the swing then require more arms/hands as opposed to lower body rotation to power the swing? Thx again.

[@paulwilsongolf]

No. More arms and you start hitting. The harder you hit, the more you tighten the hinge, the slower the club swings. I did a tip on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpXSlJ2OlNiri80 So what you should be doing as you get older is loosen even more and keep working on body rotation. You don't have to be strong to be loose so you should be able to be loose for life. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5CviGqkopmmqc0 If I can do that anyone should be able to do it.

[@travisjaggers2114]

Thx Paul, somehow missed your reply until now.

[@MarkAnslow]

When doing this I feel like my arms are dropping behind me and getting stuck. Am I doing this correctly? Great tip as ever Paul thanks for spending the time in making it for us golfers.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great. This is your body starting first but you are doing it so hard you will blow it right. There is timing between the release and hip turn. If you only speed up one you will not hit the ball on target. You need to follow this tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE
