The Pro Move That Hits It Long & Straight

[@lloydreed8808]

During my practice swings, I get it. As soon I step to the ball, I'm right back to swinging with my arms. Very frustrating...I won't give up though.

[@paulwilsongolf]

So quit trying to be the hero. Hitting hard does not work. You know that. So to stop doing it you need to do something new and different. You are not good at it at first. So get good at it otherwise nothing will change. When people have a good practice swing then it changes with the ball that is them trying to hit the ball. I am not hitting anything. So you need to find an ending point into your follow through. You need to make this more important that hitting the ball. This is what I have been teaching for now 33 years. Unfortunately, I don't give this ending point away on YT. So you need to find one. You hit the top then go to the ending. You do this slow and easy. If you are thinking about point B you are not thinking about hitting the ball. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrTZZycgNqNf9k So stick to 50% power as you do this. I guarantee swinging at 50% you will not hit it much less than your best shot. You may even hit it longer. Just need to try something new and different. As you do, you will get it in no time but you have to stick with it. Most give up and go right back to their old swing that doesn't work.

It helps me to try and hold my arms back (which is impossible), but that is my swing thought.

Yes this is me too , my playing partner often says I should have hit it with my practice swing 😂

[@gerardmcbryde3156]

Thanks Paul I follow your tips and improvements tee to greenside are evident to the point where I’m now losing more shots putting 😂 golf is enjoyable but frustrating

[@BayBoy98]

Friend if you're new to Pauls teachings believe me.....they work! I've been following him for a couple of years now and my game changed dramatically. My big slice is gone and I'm hitting it further. Things I've started doing that he teaches.....2 points in the swing....point A and point B. A=top of the backswing......B=the end of the follow through. just think those two things hitting "through" the ball, not at it. Next, stay loose like a wet noodle. Next, turn those hips...it really works! I got immediate results.....straighter and longer. My partners said "who is this guy!" I told them about Paul. Good stuff!

[@b00too]

i like the analogy with the head cover..thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Simple so people can grasp the concept of the swing. Everyone is making this way too complicated. It is mass swinging around an axis. That's it.

[@DavidMarzola]

Mr. Paul, I tried your techniques today on the range with driver. It works!!!! As consistent pull to pull hook hitter I decided to use your idea of losing the arms and hit with the legs and hips. I even stopped turning my shoulders right of the target at address in order reduce my pulls. Lined up square with feet, and shoulders as you demonstrated, hoping the club face would be square at ball impact. I won't say I hit every drive straight but those that went off-line were not as severe and just outside my imagined fairway. It does feel strange to turn off the arms and I thought this will not produce much distance. If fact the distance was there and as you say it felt like an effortless swing. I haven't mastered it, but I am going to continue to lose the arms and turn the hips. Hopefully I can do this technique with the irons for my trip the range later this week. Thank you again for the great lessons. Well done sir!!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Glad you tried it. Fixing pulls and pull hooks is 5 mins. to fix if that. So easy. Just turn the arms off and fire the body first then simple physics will shallow the club. You need to watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDKqplsis97bbc You are on your way. Yes, hitting will not get you any more distance. If anything you will loose distance and you will lose consistency. Yes, try it with irons too. You've got this.

[@jasonkippen5750]

Love the "turn off the arms" comment. One thing that helps me do that is hover the club even on irons. Thx Paul, you're the best!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the support. I have seen many people hover. I am totally fine with that as Nicklaus and Norman did that. A lot of the time people do it wrong though. Be careful. You are just hovering it slightly off the ground behind the ball. I have literally seen people wiggling it back and forth about a foot behind the ball which is not would I would suggest.

[@zero2herogolf]

Yup, one of the hardest things for amateurs to get, is leave the arms and hands out of the swing until late as possible. If and when they get to the place where they're holding them back too long, ONLY then can they start to release them a little eariler little by little until they find that sweet spot. The other HUGE thing I see with many amateurs is they don't get their weight to the lead side SOON enough. They usually wait until the top of their swing, and by then it's WAY too late for most people. As soon as they drag that club back waist at the latest, I would start having them move their center mass a little toward the target, but keep the backswing going. They just don't understand to create a whip like lag, their lower body moves forward a little while the upper body is moving back and up. This separation allows a massive storing of energy. Everybody is a little different, but most don't get their weight moving towards the target soon enough in the sequence.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, this and the next ones to follow are vital. I keep saying it and hopefully people are listening. At 85 you need to just try to speed it up the best you can. My typical student is older and I explain how fast to turn the hips and watch them do it and they barely move them. It is a real effort which is what I am trying to demonstrate in these tips. I just don't think people get how hard and fast or quick they need to move them then train themselves to always drive them this hard. Get this and you get the distance. Keep at it.

[@dougpicciano6470]

Thanks Paul for so expressly demonstrating how to get the lower body to power the golf swing - getting old (72) , not only presents physical challenges , but also mental ones and your emphasis , repeating of the key concepts of your instruction is very helpful.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, my seniors effort level in their hips is pretty weak. I say they have to do it hard and fast or quick and they barely move. Then I say imagine you are in the street and a bus is coming at you. Even a 95 year old would jump out of the way fast in this scenario. This is how fast you need to move your hips.

[@dalejanjohn]

Thanks, Paul. You are absolutely the best. I have a decades-long ingrained all-arms swing. I have been working on breaking those old bad reflexes via your YT videos and the Body Swing. For the longest time I have found it impossible to overcome my reflex of turning my shoulders simultaneously my hips (i.e. not letting the shoulders lag and be pulled by the hips). Very difficult after so many years. Recently I found some success with a visual/mental trick: At the end of my backswing, I I turn my hips leftward while seeing in my peripheral vision my left shoulder and arm lingering in a stationary position. In other words, I consciously look with my eyes at my left arm/shoulder staying quiet and still while I turn my hips left. It somehow takes my mind off of the hit impulse. The resulting swing is entirely relaxed with passive arms and solid impact. I’m not sure this means anything to anyone but me. But if somebody struggles, as I do, to relax their arms and upper body and lead with the hips tugging the shoulders then it might be worth a try.

[@paulwilsongolf]

If this works then please keep doing it. I hear this all of the time that people have trouble turning the arms off. To get it you need to stop hitting balls. The ball is the problem. You keep wanting to hit while I am trying to get you to not hit. So do daily practice swings for the next month or two. Get used to the feeling of the hips leading (swing off the ground drill). Also, make sure you get to my follow through positions exactly as I show in The Body Swing. If you do hit balls you do at least 3 practice swings to 1 ball. I would also go to down 50%. Swing easy and you cannot be hitting hard with the arms. So master hitting your shots doing full swings 2/3 of your normal swing speed. Finally, understand that if hitting hard with the arms is not working after years of doing it then it never will. This means you clearly have the concept in your mind of what you are even doing. Mass (club) swinging around an axis (body). If a little kid with minimal arm strength can do it then there is a different way to hit a golf ball which you want to learn no matter what it takes. You are not good at it ... so keep doing it until you get good at it. Too many people trying to be the hero hitting every shot the best they can. This gets them hitting. Why not patty cake it for a while and get good at not hitting. So you are 10-30 yards behind your best shots for a while but who cares. In no time you will get used to it then hit it 10-30 yards past your best shot with a feeling of nothing. Do this and you have a swing for life.

[@zero2herogolf]

4:30 - Very common pattern, hips and the entire body facing the ball at impact. I'd stand behind them, looking down the target line. Ask them to take the club back to parallel to the ground. I then hold the clubhead in my hand and have them turn their hips toward the target, with a little side bend included. I tug very lightly, hold it there, and ask them to rotate their hips toward the target again. It's like a light bulb turns on for most people. Then I ask them, if I wasn't holding the club, how could you produce a similar effect on your own. It forces them to think and progress ensues. Then you can do the same thing with their club at the top, hold it there while they rotate their hips forward.

This is the move that is holding everyone back. Got to fire the hips first then arms follow. Every kid does this. Every adult that learned as an adult does not. So loosen your arms to the point they are weak as a kid. If so your body will lead and arms will follow. Do these 2 drills and video it. Once you do you will see you will be doing it perfectly.

[@ElSupremo5]

Paul when you fire your hips in the demo it looks like your right hip is coming forward towards the ball. I am certain it doesn't when you do your real swing but I just want to verify this is to be avoided?

[@paulwilsongolf]

I want the hips to face back to the ball as the first move down. I was early extending here due to pain in right hip that I have had for about 7-8 years. I have always pushed from the right instep to hit the ball. I can't do this anymore so I am trying to switch to a left leg trigger. I don't like doing this but I think I have no option. It's better now but I am protecting it for sure. Hit the top and turn so you face the ball. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZmuo2mPbbN7fdE

Took time, practice and quite a few games for me to get this movement naturally but it started to sink in...

[@MarkG_603]

Getting the hips to move FIRST is where folks need to go. It's the kinetic chain, same motion as physically "throwing" a golf club, throwing a football or baseball. The lower half moves first, the upper half goes next and the arms follow. The ball is not your target, its the spot "way out there"... and that is where you need to throw towards. Understanding this will get you/us hitting crisp shots 75% of the time until we have engrained it (1 season). Keep pounding this message, Paul! ☺

[@paulwilsongolf]

They sure do. I have literally been saying this for now my 33rd year. The kinetic chain is correct. Not hitting at the ball is also correct. Glad you see it. I will keep doing what I do and one day maybe everyone will be doing it and playing better golf.

Well, if I bend over my back hurts. I am working on more rotation. Not sure why I started doing that. It's mainly with driver. I'm still 80% fairways so it does not make you inconsistent as others would suggest. Just check out Nicklaus and host of others who early extend (more with driver).

In thinking about it I have always had a bad back but I had serious hip pain for about the last 8 years. Due to bending down teeing up millions of balls and hitting balls pushing from my right foot. The pain is gone now with help from acupuncture but I caused me to stand up. I see old videos before that and I did not early extend. Now I have no pain I am trying to fix it but it is tricky cause I can feel the hip when I bend. Never want the pain coming back. As I said though, lots of pros early extend. More with driver than anything.

[@peterwilliams354]

Great video Paul. Understand the concept, which I first read about in Ben Hogans Five Lessons. I’ve tried many times to put this into practice but find I swing left when I fire my hips first as you suggest, and my divots clearly show an out to in swing path. Follow through is very much extremely low and left, which shows a steep Club descent in to the ball? I think that I may need to ensure that as well as firing the hips first, I may need to make sure my lead left shoulder comes down at the ball (rather than what’s likely a flat shoulder rotation?) at the same time or immediately after I fire the hips? I’m a right handed golfer by the way. Advice will be truly appreciated

[@paulwilsongolf]

Your left or right tilt of your body affects direction. You are at the top trying to hit it with your arms. This tilts your body left and you send it over the top. You need to turn the arms off completely and use your body as the power source.

Glad you are with me and thanks so much for the promo to others. The pull is simple. You are pulling it down with your arms. When you hit with arms you lean left. Lean left swing left. It is that simple. You need to completely turn your arms off as you start down. If you body moves first you are using simple physics of mass swinging around and axis to shallow the plane. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDKqplsis97bbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqGkppp6q8aenLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGXbhoCKmNehaKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOoXpuwib2ahNE

[@paulwilsongolf]

There is a section on How To Take It To The Course in The Body Swing. Guess you missed that one. The problem when people take it to the course is they try to swing at 100% on every shot. This is not what I want you to do. I want you to swing at no more than 50%. If so you will hit it longer and straighter than every with a feeling of nothing. Got to wrap your head around this concept. Get it slow first then into the future speed up only the legs and hips if you want a little more. Let's try again my way and let me know what happens. Take one more club if you have to on approach shots. Driver just think hit the fairway NOT hit it 300 down the fairway.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are swinging at 50% because your 50% is actually 70-80%. This pace will get the arms out of it and you trying to hit too hard. Once you are comfortable and sensing the looseness you are firing your legs and hips quicker for more power. Do this drill daily: kzbin.info/www/bejne/innQZ4ahqaucnM0

[@fretless05]

I stopped swinging with my arms because my drives went too far... to the right! My question is what your thoughts are on the hip angles in the swing. Should I tilt the lead hip down towards the ball on the backswing and up through my turn to get more whip in the club, or is that too much complication in the swing? I've heard that I should use the ground with the lower body to get more power, but don't want to make things difficult to risk injury.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Sorry I just saw this. Well you are tilted. If you turn you would be tilted. I know what you are talking about. This is the new swing they are all seeming to teach. This swing is not dominating on tour. Look at the best of all time. Make it easy. To me I want it rotational knowing you get the tilt because you tilted at set up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmauaoZvq7-chJI Just make this stuff simple. You are not a tour pro. If you did not learn as a kid then do not do that tilted swing. Not that you need to anyway.

hey paul i got a problem in my coil again. Am i supposed to coil around my spine angle or am i supposed to coil perpendicular to the ground?

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are tilted so you are not coiling perpendicular. Stand up. Do some swings with the club horizontal. Focus on what your coil feels like. Now tilt a little and do the same thing. Keep doing this until the club is at ground level. See your body as a giant spring. You coil from the top and uncoil from the bottom.

[@cubanjefe]

Paul. Love all of your videos. Love them. Have bought all your videos. But you never actually give a drill on how to start the hips. The move you state is necessary.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Actually I do give drill on how to move the hips. You need to do position 1. There I show you various ways to do it. In the book I also have numerous downswing triggers. So you hit the top and you are thinking of going to ending doing position 1. The only way you are going to do that is with the legs and hips. So focus on getting to position 1. Do this daily at home. I show people how to do it and they don't do it. All positions are vital and need to be done exactly as I demonstrate. If you do the grip, set up and 4 position you then look like a pro when you swing. This means you have the right fundamentals so you would be using your legs and hips as the power source not just hitting with arms. So reduce the balls you hit and build the swing. Get the swing ... you get the ball.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Pulling is hitting with arms. Topping is swinging way too hard. Do you top it swinging easy? Bet you don't. So you need to immediately slow down to 50% cause what you are doing is never going to work. Need to work on hinging and rehinging to loosen your wrists. You get the power through looseness not strength. How else does a 12 year or hit it by you? They are not strong. They are loose. Once you get that you power the swing with the legs and hips.

A training aid which has nothing to do with a club, your arms, or a ball. It strictly focuses on the hips. That, in itself, validates what Paul is telling people. As the commercial says, “It’s all in the hips.”

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. That device is amazing. I actually thought of this same thing quite a few years ago but never brought it to market so when my friend showed it to me it was like they were reading my mind. This device is amazing. Get people to feel the hips and get them moving. I would suggest everyone either get one or make on of their own so they can get the the feeling.

Even when you try and make a "bad shot" it still looks good and probably is...haha

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yeah, you kind of need to know what you are doing on any shot. Hit a bad one and fall all over the place is someone who does not know what they are doing.

[@swardmusic]

Change me please. Please!

[@paulwilsongolf]

You need to let me know what you are doing or where the ball is going. Once I know that I can fix you. Right now you need to do a neutral grip and I teach a taller set up (like short stop position) and a square stance. That is where it all starts and is vital to doing the swing I teach. If you want the fast and easy way to get this which is what I showed the guy in that video follow this: Wrists = Spin (Step 1) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Body = Direction (Step 2) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIebpoaQZpt1r9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mpqYaQiNJ-e9k (secret tip)

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. Always been a big hitter at the ball. Casting and flipping hands out towards the ball. In to out path, lots of over-draws and hooks and pushes. Now that I've gone back to loosening my arms and wrists and neutral grip, everything feels a lot more relaxed and easier and I'm feeling that snap that you talk about a lot more. Basically hitting at the same distance maybe a little bit shorter than before but it is a lot easier. (I have plenty enough distance anyway). I Can get it to fade I can make it draw. One thing I have noticed is my lower back soreness in the morning has flared up a bit again. Maybe something to do with me approaching 40 and not doing any warm-ups 😂

[@paulwilsongolf]

If you are doing less and hitting it almost as far isn't that a good thing. Once you actually increase the legs and hips you will even up hitting it even farther. As the for the back, be careful not to tilt over too much. Stand tall like a short stop.

[@swardmusic]

@@paulwilsongolf great will do thanks! Dont exactly know what a short stop is (baseball??😂) As im an Aussie

[@paulwilsongolf]

An athletic position not a bend over position. So stand up. Sit your rear end on the edge of bar stool. Bend a little so you see the club and ball clearly not your toes. Put your hands together and you are golfing. Just look at my set up.
