HOW TO BUILD A GREAT BACKSWING

In this tip, I show you how to build a great backswing in 2 simple steps. So many people I see are in such a poor position at as the go back they literally have no chance to hit consistent shots.
This tip show you how to do 2 simple steps that will allow you to build a great backswing. Learn the steps and do them slowly at first. Once you hit a few shots, and get used to them, simply smoothen them out.
Now you will have shortened or lengthened your backswing getting you into a great position that will make hitting consistent shots so much easier.

[@bille9995]

Excellent lesson Mr. Wilson! Awesome! Thank you for simplifying how this works. This is a big help to my wife who is a true beginner.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked this one. Need to keep this simple. Build.a great backswing so you're in a great position to swing down and through.

[@anthonymoroso9440]

I have watched countless instructors that say to keep the arms straight when taking it back, but I found that method makes me super tight and tense right from the get go. I will have to try this!

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure does. I have seen this countless times since I started teaching. This really holds people back. Give it a try.

[@heypaul1971]

Another great lesson, Paul. I appreciate your layman’s approach to teaching, without all the filler. I just wish I lived close enough to benefit from an in-person lesson. Keep the videos coming…You’re helping make the game more enjoyable for thousands of us hackers.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like the tips. Simple is the key for sure. Most people don't practice. Give the something complicated or tough and they will never get it. I know my audience and what works so I will keep doing what I do. More to come!

[@dougpicciano6470]

Once again Paul - you’ve taken a concept related to the golf swing and made it doable and easy to execute - I purchased the Body Swing program a couple years ago after your tips on touching the knees finally got me to engage the lower body in the golf swing - something in my 60 plus years of playing golf I had never done well - your instruction and help the last few years is why my weekly skins game group won’t let this 71 yr old with a bad back move up to the senior tees

[@paulwilsongolf]

Simple is the key. Then people will actually remember it and try it. If they try it for a bucket they should see some great shots and want to keep doing it. Glad you picked up The Body Swing and glad you are doing well. I love hearing it. Thanks for the support.

[@dkarlovsky]

Thanks Paul! Wish I could head to the range right now to hit a bucket and try this out!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Don't wait. Do practice swings at home so you have it for when you go to the range. Gimme 100 soldier.

[@dkarlovsky]

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks! I actually did make it to the range this evening to hit a bucket of 80. Takes some getting used to. but my final ~25 overall were really flying straigher and 10-15 yards farther! Will keep at it.

[@jonstoops5850]

I worked on this today two buckets of balls and figured out that once I'm there just fire my legs first and the rest falls into place. Ty

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. No hitting with arms. So many people doing this and they never get it. Need to do something completely different to get to the next level. Keep at it and your game will dramatically change.

[@hawkputt1]

Your tip was great helped me. I came across a lesson from Old Pro Jackie Burke who is 99 won the masters AND PGA IN 1956. Still alive. His thought process was simple IN and UP. Can’t get much easier then this.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad to help. Jackie Burke was a great player. Good to know he kept it simple too.

[@golfdoc1950]

Love keeping it simple. Eliminate overthinking the swing!

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. Make this complicated and it will be a disaster.

[@brianrock9774]

I started using your Body Swing last year and dramatically dropped my score (from sky high to very high). I've JUST started to really feel what it's like to swing with powerless arms this spring and the results have been awesome, BUT my backswing has gotten wonky. This is exactly what I needed to fix it! Thanks, Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great job! This should tighten up that backswing. Thanks for the support.

[@eddien9634]

As simple as it gets, yet extremely effective! Thanks for another gem Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@axelvonripper]

This approach for me works. I have noticed though that I need to flare my feet out more than I see you do to make sure I can get proper hip rotation

[@roberthepburn6087]

Great to see you back and and so nice to see a simple way to help your game...I love your instruction manner and makes so much sense. Thanx

[@paulwilsongolf]

I've been around just waiting for the course to green up. Glad you like the tips. More to come. THanks.

[@ethad123]

I used this swing thought, takeaway towards the pocket and hands to ear high swing today at a par 3 course where the holes range from 60-100 yards. I shot even par. Thanks so much for this swing thought, I’m beginning to build confidence that I have not had in a very long time

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow, that's a great round. So glad you are getting it. Keep up the good work.

[@zero2herogolf]

Range is looking nice and green. Great and simple tip. Thanks Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, back to shooting tips again. More to come.

[@hawkputt1]

Thanks Paul . I used your 2 step and never hit the ball better .Hit 3 3woods in a row as pure as i ever had. Thanks agin great tip.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Simple thought to get you to the top.

Glad you tried it and are doing well. Keep at it.

[@alexandrews4161]

Thank you Paul. Another great lesson.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much.

[@southtwo8923]

Love the visor. I wish I could stamp that into my subconscious. No matter how clearly I know it’s right, I stiffen up and swing hard. It’s unreal.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, I try get into the subliminal mind. You are using the arms because that is your power source. Do the drill below until you are good at it. Then get more power with the legs and hips.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYfLpX9jmZZ1b7s

[@ripekapaiagloriaryan9273]

Yes have totally learnt from this showing of how to swing from the hip and shoulder. Am l right am also left handed. Arohanui Ripekapaia

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Building a great backswing makes the rest of the swing so much easier. Left handed playing right is great.

[@erichoward1731]

Thanks Coach 👌

[@paulwilsongolf]

You're welcome.

[@marksamuel5347]

Man, you make it sem so easy! After playing for 46 years and hitting with my arms, I'm trying to get as close to your swing as I can .. Like Tiger Woods says .. its a process! Thanks for making things so simple.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You can do it! Simple is the key for sure. Work on one or two things. Everyone seems to want everything all at once so they get nothing. Think of it like a puzzle with 4 pieces plus the grip and set up. 2 in the backswing and 2 in the follow through. As you put the pieces together you see the picture.

[@davidweimer9592]

Awesome info, Paul! I am hooked on your videos and watch them and practice every night! One question I have is where should my hands be when at ear height? Should they be between your neck and shoulder or outside your shoulder? I think I know the answer, but just wanted to check with “the MAN!” Thx! Dave

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me and like the tips. Thanks. Between your neck and shoulder. Outside would be too flat but don't be too upright either.

[@maxsmart8954]

Between shoulder and ear bad stuff happens for me. I’ve taken simplification another level. Left bicep to chest level. Woods between chest and shoulder. Don’t know why but better things happening with no more than 3/4 swing max. Main struggle is adjusting to establish rhythm. A very slight pause before transition also helps. Thanks for the simplify thought!!!!!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Simple is key. If that gets you to set it then keep doing it. It does tend to get short and fast though so hesitating is good thing. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j37NYZmdf8pnbq8

[@daveherbert1588]

Nice and easy paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure.

[@grahamkatz5495]

Simple teaching

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you think so! Keep it simple and people will understand it. If so, they may actually try it. If they see a result they will remember it and keep doing it into the future. Been putting it in simple terms since 1991.

[@cappsrealty]

It's like you're talking directly to me. I had my son record my swing tonight. While I'm noticing a few things off, the biggest is a huge long back swing. Hands skip the move to the pocket and go above the head. Your example of this looked very similar.

[@cappsrealty]

Weather looks much nicer there than in Indiana.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, I was hiding in the bushes watching you so I thought you could use this one. That long swing will never work. It gets you pulling it down with the arms. Now slowly make the switch. Tee up your ball as you work on it. As you shorten it up the legs will kick in and start powering your swing because you can't pull it down anymore. This will be game changing for you. Stay focused and fight through it. You'll be glad you did. Yes, weather is great here right now. Gets a little hot in the summer but humidity is under 20% so you're not sweating all day. Great place to live. So good I don't tell anyone anymore. Oops. Erase that from your memory. You would hate it here. Awful place and it's too hot.

[@cappsrealty]

I've been to Phoenix twice, both times in April. I've mentioned to locals that I thought it was nice and they're always so quick to mention the trash cans haven't started melting yet.

[@orkayen]

Thanks for the 2 simple but wonderful backswing steps, Paul. Also, I noticed that you have a 45 deg shoulder turn and 45 deg hip turn (@ 3.40). I think this would eliminate over swing also. Correct? Can we follow these (2 steps with 45 deg shoulder/hip turn) for Driver/3 wood also?

[@paulwilsongolf]

I was just messing around at that point showing the backswing length. At the top I am pretty much 90. So no you do not want a 45 degree shoulder turn at the top. You need to coil and watch yourself in a mirror setting the top parallel. Here are some tips you should watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHe9p5KZYqukrNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGecq4CNq8h1nJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWGxhIqCn76nZrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpennIiVe56AhrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoHOmKusqN5seaM

[@pedrosolermartinez6273]

Love your content Paul!, great. Is your swing thought the same when you hit a fairway wood or driver !?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, it's the same swing. The swing changes on its own due to the length of the club but the movement is the same.

[@FeatheredTines]

I have been using your pain free swing for about 2 weeks now and have played the best golf of my life but I seem to catch it off the toe as the clubs get longer… any reason to maybe why?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you are doing well. If you are toeing it you are coming out of it. Work on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDTd2quYrR2jrc

[@Peter-we8iw]

If you maintain your angle at address between the shoulders and shaft up to the top, don't you get the the coil and load you need to activate the lower body to swing and release the club to the finish?

[@paulwilsongolf]

You may but for most they don't cause they hit the top and just whack at it with the arms. Need to be thinking about it to do it.

Is this the same with the driver?

[@paulwilsongolf]

One swing all clubs. Ball position and width of stance changes. Plane changes due to the length of the club. Be a way harder game if you had 13 swings plus your putter.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Perfect combo

[@ToddCiehomski]

It seems like the backswing is overthought with so many golfers moving up to the next step. Looking for positions. Overdoing the "clubhead outside the hands." This is good because you're teaching golfers to SWING the club.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you need to at least get it close to the right position. Once you do, then you can tweak it. Most golfers aren't close. So 2 simple thoughts can get you there.

[@mfirstchoice]

My big fault is to long of a backswing when I’m off and it’s the last thing I think about to get back on line , golfers overthink LoL

[@paulwilsongolf]

Start shortening asap. That long swing will never work.

[@Peter-we8iw]

Of course you are turning your body into the positions, and not activating the arms. Right?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Your body would turn as you do the first position then it would keep turning as you do position 2.
