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

[@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.

[@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!!!

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 !

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@bj146651]

How are you turning belt buckle. I’m new also. I’m just spinning hips or am I pushing off back foot or what am I doing with feet?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Hit the top with your weight loaded 80/20 into the back foot. Turn back to the ball. When you do you will be back to 50/50 Once you get to 50/50 and are facing the ball you keep turning. Belt buckle will end up left of the target when you are done. So no, you are not spinning out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZyZZJKcjrh0g8k

[@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.

[@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.

[@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,!

can't stop watching these vids, i'm a total beginner (also rather unathletic) and yet doing the belt-buckle and wrist-opening drills i was actually able to play with longtime golf-playing associates... short game will be next to study, but at least i had working driver/irons shots... the observations of how that 'swing machine' maps to a human golfer was biomechanial genius, man...

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me. Glad you like my instruction. Just years of keeping it simple so people actually get it. Then hopefully they try it. Once they see results hopefully they keep doing it. Keep at it.

[@MrBrix3]

Thanks Paul..........your videos make a difference in my understanding of the golf swing. So many of the instructors out here overcomplicate things, and even though they may be 100% correct in what they are saying. If I can't relate or understand what they are talking about , it has zero value to me. Your videos are easy to comprehend and are well explained. That is characteristic of all good teachers! Thanks so much!

[@paulwilsongolf]

This over complication has been around for years. This is what I did many years ago and it got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Knowing this, had me thinking "fast and easy" from lesson 1 over 31 years ago. So this is why I say things the way I say them. So many people have commented they they get it when I explain it. This is half the battle. Thanks for your support.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@rickster904]

Wow. Thanks for making it simple Paul. This single tip replaced multiple swing thoughts and attempted manoeuvres I had and corrected (or at least improved) some of my problems - weight shift, jumping/chicken wing, casting/over-the-top swing.

Yes, this is a good one for sure. Most of my students do this. It's just such an easy thought. You definitely don't want to be thinking of too many things. Keep it simple and stay focused.

[@deccomcg]

Ok, this guy is the best I've found online for teaching us how to swing better. I've bought into what he's saying and have noticed an improvement. MUCH easier to hit the ball! It takes a bit of practice to take the arms out of the swing but it does come with time, practice and patience.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank so much. Simple is the key. You make this difficult and you will never get it. I teach a different way that's for sure so people just need to keep doing it for a little while. If they do they see amazing effortless shots like you are.

[@coburn_karma]

So true that arm swing is not the golf swing that I strived for but it was so difficult to change my mindset. Now I understand that distance and consistency is created by the rotation of the lower body. Heard that was “All Arms” for 25 yrs but never understood what that meant until your videos woke me up. I can never thank you enough.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, plenty of teachers out there who think that. They seems to be coming around now as they have know found that using the ground forces is the way to go. Glad you see it and are trying to use your body. It is new and different so it will take a while to make the switch. Do tons of practice swings at home daily. This is what I do.

I'm on a golfing journey this winter in terms of teaching myself the right way after realising I'm not going to get lower than my 15hcp with my own self taught swing, which is all arms, very short on the back swing and all so so rushed... ... between constant practice, lessons and your videos which break everything down so well and to a level I understand... I'm slowly slowly getting there. The penny is dropping and il get there of it kills me... Thanks Paul 👍🏼

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, working on it yourself rarely works. Glad you see it sooner rather than later and are going to understand it and work on it a little differently. This is actually not that hard to build a great swing if you know what you are doing. I took a student from 95 to 75 in 2 months and he never hit one practice ball. I literally gave him a 10 mins lesson per week showing him one thing to work on. Then he did in only in practice swings. Without the ball he wasn't using his arms to hit hard. He got used to the moves and positions without distractions. So when you say contact practice you need to not hit ball after ball. You need to do more practice swings working on precise positioning vs beating balls. Not sure if you have my Body Swing videos or not. There I show the exact positions and how to put them together step-by-step. If not you can use the tips but I don't give everything away here. So hit less balls. Do more practice swings working on precise positions like a pro or better player would be working on it. At a 15 hdcp your swing needs work for sure. You can still play and work on your short game too.

Paul I discovered you about a month ago, and it has helped me so much. I’m almost 70 and your effortless golf swing with loose arms and wrists with the hinge re-hinge and not hitting with your arms has helped tremendously. More solid straight shots. I had one pro that kept telling me I needed to get my weight to my left side which I understand that’s true , when you finish the swing, but I got so hung up on that I was all screwed up. With your teaching tips I now feel the weight of the club, and it feels more natural for the arms to follow the lower body to the finish! I’m excited to keep working with your tips. Thanks so much! You are the best!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me. Glad you are doing well. Love hearing it. Yes getting the weight is important but if you are thinking about doing that from the top it's going to send you over the top. These guys see pros do that in video but they are watching it in slow mo. The time it takes to do that is a millisecond. Why not load to the right and unload to the left into the follow through. If so, the weight will shift because you can't to the left in the follow through without shifting. In other words it will happen without even thinking about it. Sounds like you are on track so keep doing what you are doing. Fun times ahead.

After a disastrous session at the driving range (right, left, fat, thin, shanks, smothers), I watched about 7 of Paul’s videos.

Can’t wait to try it out on the golf course next time! Thanks, Paul!

Anyone can do this. Just need to do it a different way. You need super loose wrists. You don't have to be strong to be loose. So as I said anyone can do it. Got to trust the sensation of being loose.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like them!

[@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!!

Very good. This is super easy and works great.

Great lesson. I've struggled with this move, without realizing how much your hips should actually rotate. Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, so few amatuers turn their hips at all. no joke this this what separates pros from ams. Get this and you take you game to a whole new level. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5KZkpZjd9qBns0

[@bryanrolland2967]

I'm a beginner and just trying to wrap my head around the mechanics of a swing. I'm so happy to have this to put a focal point what the hell you lower body should be doing. Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me. This will save you years of whacking away at it with your arms. You need to watch more of my tips to get the concept. If it was as easy as whacking away at it everyone would be good. Few are. Those few learned as kids. Kids have minimal arm strength do from ball one they learned to use their body not the arms to hit the ball.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Jus4kiks]

Glad I found you Paul, I have extremely bad elbow tendinitis from ‘hitting at’ the ball. Leaving me almost unable to play. I am going to make it through all of your instructional videos to hopefully remedy this issue. Really love the belt buckle to the ball drill, really feels good. Going to go out and hit a few today, swinging full but 50% distance with a belt buckle thought. I need to work on the body rotation to hit with my body and not my arms! Thank you for these, really appreciate it.

[@paulwilsongolf]

This pain is telling you that you are hitting for sure. Glad you see it now. In no way should my swing hurt your body. If so, you are doing it wrong. So loosen the arms to allow the weight of the club to stretch them out. So hinge and rehinge to get the wrists unlocked. Loosen the arms to get them extending and coil uncoil to power your swing. This is all a good start.

[@uf1978]

First, thank you Paul for your video help! I have been struggling this year with my swing for whatever reason. I am 57 and up till last year carried a 12 HC. This year started coming over the top and shanking my fair share of shot(something i never had an issue in the past). I know that starting with the lower body will correct my issues but having a hard time with it. I will go home later today and work on this. Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, you need to do something because over the top is hitting with arms. Shanking is arms too. So you need to get them turned off asap. Hopefully, you know my technique. Neutral grip. Taller set up. Coil and hinge going back ... uncoil and rehinge coming down. You are not hitting or helping the shot in any way with you arms. Typically I work on the arm unit first. Neutral grip then hinge and rehinge. Get it hooking by rolling from the top. This is fixing the SPIN. Once you can consistently hook about 5-10 in a row you then switch to firing your lower body to start to straighten it out. You add a little body to make it go a little less left. Watch your ball. Keep firing the lower harder and harder until it goes dead straight. Fire too hard you blow it right so you need to slow down. Keep watching your ball. It will tell you exactly what to do. Keep the arms relaxed and wrists super loose. I would do this drill too. I call it taming the wild stallion (you): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYfLpX9jmZZ1b7s

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, let's get you back. Shouldn't take much but you need to do it a little differently. Do daily practice swings at home. This is the fastest way to get it. Once a week is not going to cut it. Thanks for following me. We certainly don't want confusion. You've got this.

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.

[@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.

Amazing video. Best tips I ever heard.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

[@John-wx9oy]

I hit two buckets at the range today to work on slowing my tempo - which has resulted in much better consistency. Before I started watching Paul, hitting that many golf balls would have left me with a strained and sore back. Now my back feels fine, but my legs and hips definitely feel it. I believe that's a good thing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. This is how you know you are doing it right. You should not be in pain swinging a golf club. Great feeling when you have no pain. It means you will be able to do it forever.

[@dseveno8254]

I wish I'd learned this so much sooner. It could almost be called golf's "golden rule" or "magic move". It's so important in achieving the correct sequence in the transition, allows for the correct impact position, and it actually makes the game less taxing on the body. It's takes some commitment, but it's oh so worth it.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, using the legs and hips is the magic move. Most people are just whacking away at it. If that was the way to do it wouldn't most golfers be good? Until you learn to use the legs and hips you will always be spinning your wheels. It does take understanding and practice.

[@tracnguyen7560]

Will try this at the driving range tomorrow.. thanks Paul!!

Winter is the best time to work on your swing. Do daily practice swings at home working on a few of the moves. Then when the season starts you will be playing great golf. Glad you have an area to do swings.

[@Issameazuma]

I am looking forward to trying this. My back has been killing me because I keep using my arms to swing. Cannot wait to try this at the range

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me. I have helped countless people play pain free golf. A lot of it is hitting with the arms. Another issue is bending over too much at set up and through impact. This tip has you firing the lower body which you need to do to get the weight off the back foot while swinging through into the follow through. So all good things. As for the set up think about basketball. Someone is going to throw you a ball. You are in a ready position looking at the person going to throw it. Put your hands together then start looking down until you can see the club and ball clearly not your toes. If you see your toes you are too low. This will get you taller and it's easy to check. Now as you go to hit balls you will probably hit it thin or even top it for 5 mins. Start with 7-iron and tee it up. If you do you will get used to the taller set up and will be hitting it perfectly in no time. Then lower the tee.

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!

I'm a little late to the party here but I just recently filmed myself hitting shots into a net and discovered that I am basically in the same position at impact, that I am at address. In other words, I am not using my lower body very much at all and this off season, it is my goal to find the easiest way to start down this path, without having to start all over again learning the game. I really hope this helps me but I won't know until my next trip to the dome! Thanks for posting!

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are not alone. This has to be 80-90% of everyone I teach. Now you see it you need to get to work on it. Do this drill and video your swing as I show. When you do you will see that you are now in the right position. So you need to do this drill thousands of times to get it into your swing.

Excellent tip Paul on getting the lower body leading the downswing! I especially liked the analogy of pointing the belt buckle to an imaginary ball to the left of your left leg! Something I will think about the next time out in order to get my bottom half involved. Definitely a problem I have from time to time, especially with my mid to short irons.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks. This is the most popular way to do it. Need to be thinking of something waist down to get the lower body moving. Unreal how many people have no thought. I would say 99% are not even thinking about the lower body.
