EFFORTLESS POWER WITH MORE ROTATION (Driver and Irons)

[@davidk8457]

Pure gold Paul ... I like the image of turning to a friend. I purchased your driver dvd series and again pure gold for me.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you. Yes, lots of people hitting balls in front of you. Use them. Thanks for your support. I truly appreciate it.

[@speechestogo2284]

All of Paul's tips are good, but none better than this one. The good golfers in my club all do this - and none of the higher handicappers. That finish is poetry in motion.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Absolutely. It is the most important part of the swing yet the most undertaught.

[@garynunez3108]

I just have to say thank you very much, Paul. There are a lot of golf instructions in these channels. But your instruction makes so much sense. Make it very easy to add some thinking to your swing just wanna say thank you so much for all your help. Looking forward to getting your videos.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like it. Thanks for the support. Simple is the key and of course keeping the student in mind which seems to pass a lot of people by. It's not about me it's about you.

[@kenbeattie3967]

Your videos are excellent!! I've been passing the links on to as many people as possible. I hurt my lower back 25 years ago and if it wasn't for learning how to swing the way your teaching I wouldn't have been able to play golf anymore... 🏌️‍♂️

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. And thanks for the promo to others. Glad you are able to play pain free golf. Not much fun playing in pain. Hopefully others read this and want to learn it too.

[@TruthSword7]

I like the fact that you don't just instruct me, but you also help me to feel the appropriate amount of shame for not having already known this information. This helps motivate me to do better in the future, while also greatly increasing entertainment value.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked the tips and get it. Keep at it into the future.

[@allancoates3730]

Fantastic easy to understand golf lessons! Best on planet earth 👍👍

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow, thanks

[@user-kf8qc7cx4n]

Hi Paul, I just wanted to say thanks. I played nine holes late this afternoon and your instruction works. My nephew was amazed with my swing and I even put one out there from the tee 260 yards my 2 wood. I have no pain in my arms or overall body. This stuff works!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Fantastic! So glad you are trying it and seeing it work all with no pain. I hope others read this. If you are playing in pain you are doing it wrong.

[@benlicwinko7949]

Pure gold!! Excellent. This is what I’ve been working on the last 2 weeks. I would hit the ball and basically stop. Causing a massive chicken wing. Since I’ve been doing this my swing speed increased almost 10 mph

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it helped!

[@neilkorsgaard]

Hi Paul, Just wanted to say thank you. I've just returned from the range for the third session where I was practicing using your drills and swing thoughts and it was the best session I've had in ages! While learning anything new takes time to dial in, I'm really starting to get the feel of the full-body turn and, by swinging more easily, I'm not using so much distance to off-target spin. I've never had such a high percentage of straight shots with my three wood. And as a great side-benefit, I finished my large bucket of balls with no tension. I really appreciate your tips. Thank you.,

[@paulwilsongolf]

You're welcome. Glad you are doing well and you've just started. Just imagine the future. Keep at it.

[@EddieJackson-mk2ck]

Best instruction by far

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like it. Thanks for the support.

[@markk171]

LOL...I "pose" after every swing no matter how bad the shot. I have been following your swing drills for months and am FINALLY starting to actually hit shots...but that is NOT my focus. Its use the body to swing the club and it just seemed logical to complete the swing to get the greatest effect. Gives me more of that feeling of swinging/driving THRU the swing. Thanks Paul!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. This allows you to check if you swung all the way through and to help you maintain balance. I like it. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@tysongarrett8688]

Another very practical video....whenever ive held a perfect follow through.....in general ive hit a good solid shot!....and vice versa....ive been looking for swing keys to take from range to course that free up my mind....it tends to get cluttered and i get in the way of myself.....this one makes sense...."get that perpendeicular follow through position"....it predicts the shot!........thanks again!

[@paulwilsongolf]

The follow through is vital. I have been teaching it since lesson 1. It is a precise point that you need to learn and know before you come down. This is point B to your swing. You swing from point A (top of backswing) to point B (follow through).

[@hotpoker4212]

Very important lesson. . .swinging vs. hitting.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Sure is!

[@briannapier7679]

Really like this tip. I'm working through the body swing series, and it's taking some time because I'm still fighting wanting to use more of my arms. I'm gonna keep fighting cause the effortless shots that I have hit are great and feel amazing! I don't have the back pain that I typically had before. Love your lessons and approach to this great game!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. Just take it step by step. You are building a new swing and it takes time to get it. Do lots of practice swings at home mastering the positions. No ball means you can work on the swing undisturbed. Get the swing you get the ball. No back pain is a great feeling. This means you are on track. Keep at it.

[@thomasesparza9175]

For my practice swings, I slowly & gradually swing my club back & forward getting my wrists & arms loose as you mentioned in one of your past drill tips. As I increase the length of my swing, I complete the swing into a finish position with my club behind my head. My swing thought is "loose arms & complete the finish!"

[@paulwilsongolf]

Fantastic! You are right on track.

[@tysongarrett8688]

This is vital to maximizing acceration through ball.....it takes total focus each time to say...finish the position club perpendicular to target line.....no doubt you can have that thought in your mind...but then not execute it!....you have to relax!....some things just need repeating over &over again!....memorizing point A....and finishing to point B....seems very simple...but it wont happen overnight....it takes swinging at home daily ..range work...and reseting drills on the course...to master all this.....i love this stuff!...

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. You see where everyone goes wrong. They think it's over once the ball is hit. It is not.

[@theresanm1799]

You’re awesome, Paul! My on-course- coach -in -my -head! The ladies in my foursome today were wondering if I was playing a legal ball (of course I was!) because I was sailing past them pretty consistently. So much fun and horribly satisfying to watch ‘em squirm! You’ve made all the difference and I thank you 😍

[@paulwilsongolf]

Now that's what I want to hear! Great feeling when you get it. The thing is they will never catch you unless they switch to legs and hips because they are not using any body at all. Keep up the good work.

Currently out of action with a foot sprain but prior to this I was starting to play my best golf for years using your rotation tips. 60 years young, 14 handicap, I have been as low as 10 handicap just 5 years ago but I'm positive your drills will get me into that single figure club. Paul have you ever considered coming to England for some coaching days, once we are somewhere close to a normal world.

I’m 76 and have been guilty of swinging with my body and arms since I started golfing 60 years ago and I am still a mid handicap golfer, 13.6 now. My club head speed with a driver is right around 92 with miss hits right and left. I need this to work and will give this an honest try beginning with this mornings round.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you understand the issue. Now let's get the arms out. Watch these for now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpiypn6Hpbqfa5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWmkdKWBhdeCr80 Do this for 1 week: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLIm6l6l9ySl6M

[@johntull7565]

90% of my bad shots are me rushing my arms to hit the ball. It’s so nice to be able to instantly diagnose and correct these bad shots. The other 10% is pulling and maybe even hooking. That one is more difficult for me to figure out.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you are hitting. I teach no hitting. So for sure keep following my tips and understand how it all works. You work on your arm unit by purposely hinging and rehinging them. You roll it from the top first and get every ball hooking. This is step 1. Once you can do that you have the arm unit mastered. At this point you switch to the body. You fire the body from the top. If the body moves first as you start down the arms will follow and you hit it dead straight.

How do you know exactly what I need to work on !? This is the piece that I’m missing right now. Thanks so much. Probably shouldn’t say this - but I really think you give away too much info for free. 🤫

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. Sometimes I have great timing. Well, I do give away a lot but not everything. I am just sick of people not improving over the years. So the goal is to get people change the way they swing and stop using their arms. YT gives me a huge reach. Over time, more and more people will improve. They will tell others and at some point everyone will be trying to do it. There is a master plan. Let's hope it pans out.

[@thomasesparza9175]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion or view, but I can't understand the "thumbs down" on your golf tips. If you don't like the tip, just move on! Keep up the great work, Paul! 👍

Paul, Great vid. I find that my shoe spikes (essential in UK in winter) stop me rotating through... but they do help with power generation... bit of a paradox. Views?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Need to turn out the forward foot about 25 degrees. Then there won't be a problem.

[@roberthaar]

Paul, How do you get the torso to rotate more quickly to allow the face your friend finish position happen naturally without manipulations of the wrists and arms? Thank You

I am assuming you have worked on the hinging and rehinging. If not watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CyYXtohrN5pZI

[@caseyturnbaugh9484]

Hello Paul, can you help with with something. I believe what you teach and I am trying to turn my arms off like you teach. I know I need to use my body and turn my arms/upper body off. When I do this i feel like I loose awareness for where the club face is in my swing. Often this in awareness of the club face cauces the club face to come into impact as open and I push fade my driver with too much spin. Any suggestions? This also happens when I try to keep my head behind the ball with driver and turn my arms off. Any help or ideas I would appreciate!

[@paulwilsongolf]

I did post an answer to this question. Hopefully you saw it.

[@SpitSharp]

Now that winter is approaching I feel the joints stiffing up. I wonder if snow shovelling will help?

[@chasegreenich1956]

I just finished a full round of doing everything right but this! Damn it! Next time

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yep, next time. Don't forget.

[@harshadmody2013]

So Paul all our swings are rotational. Correct. Not at all seasaw. I can do rotational much better. Next is when do you start hinging the club at what level and rehinging also when. Little bit confused on this. Thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, I just don't like a sideways swing. Most amateurs are doing this and its not working because they are trying to stay still overtop of the ball. Free up the head and you free up your swing. You are coiling then hinging up to set the top. You are uncoiling and letting the club go. It cannot hold the angle forever so it rehinges on its own if it's loose enough in your wrists.

[@petebirchmann9849]

Hej Poul. I had a shorter backswing, but changed it more towards your backswing. But now my clubface is closed and open at impact. Can’t seem to hit it straight. I keep pulling it to the right or slicing it to the left. Same with irons and driver. Maybe im using my arms to much.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Pull = arms slice = arms and tight wrists. So yes, you are hitting with the arms. So loosen your wrists here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CyYXtohrN5pZI and get it hooking. Then start powering it with your legs and hips to straighten it out.

[@RobCoghanable]

You got me even when I hit it good I cut off the finish

[@paulwilsongolf]

So focus on finding an ending point beyond the ball so you can repeat your swing exactly the same each time. Watch this one too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrTZZycgNqNf9k

[@areksoo]

I'm a left handed, but my dad tried to raise me as a righty. I still ended up throwing left handed, but batted right, shot right in hockey and swung right handed in golf. I basically do all arms and my golf swing is more like a backhand in tennis (power is mostly coming from my left arm). This was fine when I was in my 20s, but now in my 40s and getting back into golf, my swing speed is way down to 90mph. I'm having trouble transferring the power from my legs, hip and shoulders to my arms. I'm pushing off my leg, rotating my hips and shoulders, but I can't seem to get any more club head speed. Right now I'm practising throwing a ball right handed to get used to the mechanics of using my legs, hips and shoulders in the throw, but being a lefty, it feels really unnatural. I almost feel learning to swing left handed might be easier. Any tips or drills to feel that transfer of power from the legs, hips and shoulders to the arms?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Although being left handed playing right has its advantages in the arm unit there are serious disadvantages with the lower body. The main issue is the person not wanting to move their head going back. No head movement and you don't load the weight so you can't fire as well. So start there. Next time you are throwing balls to get the feeling focus on how your head moves. Baseball too. Move the head 3-5" going back. As you start feeling the lower body keep the wrists super loose. Do this drill too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooayfYCilN-gm80

[@areksoo]

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks! That makes perfect sense! Going to go practice it now.

[@ABurns-lk5lp]

Hi Paul, question on left foot. Does it rise or remain fixed? I am told I am over rotating and lined to turn shoulders rather than hips? To quieter my swing I am advised to keep it fixed for better balance. Sincerely, Andy

[@ABurns-lk5lp]

Sorry, I didn’t have my glasses on when I typed the original post. Should say I need to turn my shoulders rather than my hips so much. My left heel was rising which may be a sign of over rotation?

[@paulwilsongolf]

You can lift the heel if you need to. I just did a tip on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoHOmKusqN5seaM

[@ABurns-lk5lp]

Excellent, thank you mate. I can see how my heel lift is much too strong and causing overbalance. I know it has lifted slightly when I am ready to transition.

[@swardmusic]

Whats your explanation for tommy fleetwoods sawn off finish?

[@paulwilsongolf]

He has a strong grip and shut face. He hold it off so he doesn't snap it left. Probably started this and saw some straight shots so he kept doing it. Tough to do under pressure. Could be a reason he can't bring it home. He gets close but just can't seem to do it. No room for error with this move. I talk about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpnCpnSCn9GSoM0

[@StayConsistant]

Just watched a video of my swing and I finish like that but for some reason the club head and body is tilting down at the ground. No clue why that could be. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are too tight or sliding laterally through impact. These 2 things make the club go up. It should be going around. Just fix the follow through position and it will fix the flaw. Work backwards. You'll see.

[@StayConsistant]

@@paulwilsongolf awesome! Thank you for responding and keep up the great content.

[@Ben59910]

I found as long as I keep my arms loose and stretched out and work on this finishing, position, my slice goes away no matter how fast I fire my hips

[@paulwilsongolf]

Slice is so easy to fix. Yes, if you loosen that will allow it to release. So if you ever slice it's telling you that you are tightening. So stop doing that.
