- Here's a simple drill to learn how to clear your hips in the golf swing. You can literally do this drill anywhere so please give it a try.
Pick Up Free Samples of The Body Swing here: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
When you compare pros swings to amateur's swings a clear difference is in the hip rotation at impact. Pros clear their hips while amateurs do not. So if there is a big difference it would mean amateurs are not moving their hips enough.
This is a great hip drill that you can do literally anywhere. Watch this tip and find a place that works for you. In this tip I am using a cart but you can use a pole, tree or a wall. Anywhere you can hold on you to can be learning how to clear you hips in the golf swing. Do this, and you will hit the ball longer and straighter than ever.

Thanks a bunch, Paul. You’ve helped my game more than you can know.
Great to hear. So much more fun when you are playing well.
I’m gonna do that during my next round Paul. My buddies might question my behavior and I will calmly direct them to this video.
Hi Paul, I tried the body swing last week , first time out I was 7 shots better, I found the hip tips very helpful,many thanks Mike.
That's great. Gotta like getting results. Keep at it. Watch this though:
ua-cam.com/video/glKnfVbhuXo/v-deo.html
Paul, Well, another nugget! I’ve been following you for several months and you have helped me so much. I’m 70 and so I’ve ingrained the hit with the arms idea for a long time, but your tips like this one are helping me use my legs and hips in my swing. And it feels so good and so easy on the body! For anyone reading this comment please take some time to follow this guy, you will be amazed how simple he teaches the golf swing! Thank you Paul!
For sure. This is a simple way you can get the feeling when you play. Just keep doing it every chance you get.
I just watched another video about starting the transition with the hips from Paul Wilson. Haven’t watched this one yet, but it looks similar. It is so crucial to do it. Paul is saying I’m trying at myself and it’s giving me all kinds of loaded power to pull through the golf shot with before I had to work to get through the golf swing awkwardly now it just flows.
Yes. You get serious power with the hips as well as super loose wrists.
Paul, thanks so much for your videos. I’ve been watching, learning, and applying this year. I have to say, my ball striking has improved dramatically. You are 100% correct - think loose, swing easier and in control, and move those hips. My next step is your full program. Thank you. You make it simple and brought fun back into my game.
That's great. Lots of people getting better. This was the reason I started posting again. So many people need help. Glad you are doing well. Keep it up. Thanks also for the support.
Dak must have learned this from this dude!! Great tip and you are absolutely correct. I was using no hips for years and couldn’t figure out why I could make good contact. This is a good nugget
Glad you liked it. Yes, this is the magic move. Couple this with the wrists and you will be amazing. Follow these 2 drills for 30 days:

This is important too:
ua-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/v-deo.html
Thank you Paul for this video lesson. I will be 80 years old in a few months and I’ve lost many yards on all of my full shots with irons as well as driver. Perhaps your tip today will help me get 20 more yards at least on my drives.
Well, most of my students are over 60 up into their 80's. I tell them to turn (using their legs and hips) and it's like I'm watching them in slow motion. When I say fire the hips I am not messing around. You need to fire them with everything you've got (without hurting yourself). So I say it again to them to fire and no change. If it were my someone tells me to really put the legs and hips into it and I would do it to the best of my ability. If it was too much I would back it off. This way you are actually doing it (although too hard). So really feel the lower. Dig in your feet and turn your hips the best you can. If you are just using arm strength you will never get it. You need to watch how little effort I put in to this for the power I get: ua-cam.com/video/O9jr3G1FF6M/v-deo.html so there I am turning my body to get the power. My wrists are super loose. You don't have to be strong to be loose. So anyone should be able to do this.
Thanks Paul, two weeks into following your swing method and I can see things starting to come together. My irons are becoming more consistent. I don’t think the length has come yet but I’m sure it will. I can definitely see a improvement in my driver longer,higher and straighter you rock Paul.
Fantastic! Just keep building the swing. You are on track.
This is a great tip.. it took me few rounds but I am striking it a lot better and a little farther .. Thanks so much
Fantastic!
Your the best Paul! Thank you sir
Thank you.
excellent tips Paul very helpful
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Awesome content again paul 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
More to come!
Thanks for information.
Welcome
Great drill! Thanks Paul
Glad you liked it. Thanks. There are no excuse that people cannot practice this stuff. You can literally work on your swing anywhere.
Excellent lessons.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Paul Ive been working on the hip turn all winter and the difference is awesome. I gained about 15 yards on drives and irons .. thanks for the tips they are helping me alot thanks
Nice. That's what I want to hear. I keep telling everyone to do this in the winter and few listen. For the sake of a little work you can dramatically change your game.
I saw this one already,it’s good
Great. Thanks.
I went at the driving range today, to my amazement I was driving the ball much more further than normal without too much effort. I increased my speed on my irons as much as 10mph plus, my driver as much as 15 plus. I’m still not where I want to be. I just turned 60 and getting better results than ever, when and if I can use my hips I’m sure I’ll be better even yet. Thank you once again Doc. Wilson.
I knew you could do it.
Thanks Paul again! You need to come to Texas and give some lessons. I loved watching you help golfers!
Thanks. Not much into traveling anymore. Too much work to do here. If I ever make it there I will certainly let you know. Did a clinic at Barton Creek and Four Seasons in the past. Great facilities.
@@paulwilsongolf San Antonio area? Have 2 friends playing there today and tomorrow in golfweek am tour. My event is in ft worth tomorrow. Hopefully your bunker tip will have me in the top 3!
You don't have an idea how your tips helping me to improve my golf skills. Thank you. I wish I could get you as my teacher in real world.
Glad you are doing well. I can actually work with anyone, anywhere in the world now with my new app. It is live, video coaching. You can find out more here: bodyswing.com/coachlink People who have used it are loving it because now they know what to work on. This is not swing analysis. This is live video coaching. Take a look.
Great drill! just been grabbing onto the fridge trying it out as watching this.
Yes, this is a good one to get the feeling. I didn't think about the fridge. Good one. Get used to the feeling then give it a try. Loose wrists though and no hitting with the arms. If you push it you are driving super hard but the release is late. So hook 5-10 balls on purpose first to speed up the release then fire hips. If so you will kill it dead straight.
I used to hit fairways like 25% of the time...now I am around 55%-65% according to my golf statistics app I use when I play. Much better and still improving. Thanks Paul....
Good stuff. You are getting it. Great to hear.
Great explanation....... it's amazing how the small muscles want to fire first..... especially when you're nervous..... thanks Paul
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Nervous and human nature telling you to hit that ball.
What a dance move! Thanks Paul. LOL
I try.
Thanks for another great tip, I have tried to incorporate this into my swing, which works well, but I sometimes miss the ground with the club which leads to a thin shot, is this an issue with my hip rotation? Or early release
This is you coming out of it. You are trying to see it before you've done it. Work on this: ua-cam.com/video/gI_fYMEBPNw/v-deo.html
Hi Paul, Thank you for being so generous with your expertise. You have helped me tremendously. The hip rotation is truly the key. I am playing a lot in an effort to improve and am feeling the torque in my knees. I'd imagine this is a result of my failure to shift my weight properly. It seems as if I shouldn't have shoes with soft spikes so my feet can spin? I'd imagine you get this question often. Thanks again. I am so glad I found your videos.
I really don't get that question that much. If you feel your feet twisting too much then use spikes. I really don't need them but I have done it for a long time. You certainly need to learn the right moves with the lower body. When people are moving too fast and are not good at it they start twisting. Slow down and little and make the moves perfect. Then speed them up.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you for your prompt response. I think you are correct. Fundamentally, though. the back foot needs to spin as the hips rotate and the spikes (soft, of course) keep the ball of the foot from wanting to do that which creates torque on my knee. I assume the solution is to lift the weight off the back foot as the hip turns so the ball of the foot can rotate?
weight transfer to the front foot early in the downswing/trunk rotation is probably what I need to incorporate to avoid twisting my back knee.
There is a shift but I am not even thinking about it. Throw some balls overhand. I guarantee you will shift and turn.
Foot spinning is you grinding on it with too much weight. I am not doing this. I am pushing from the instep. I get to the inner edge of my shoe (edge of big toe) and push. All of your toes are on the ground. So use the inner edge of your shoe then roll up onto the tip of the toe.
Would there be any establishments in the Vegas area containing poles that one might be able to practice on Paul? 🤔😂🕺
I think we can accommodate.
@@paulwilsongolf another great tip btw. 'Clear your hips' sounds so easy in principle, but it's only now I'm aware of it that I realise how out of sync I really am. Cheers Paul. 👍
😂☺😜
Me thinks those poles are already in use.....and may contain many viruses
Mark L maybe just one or two! Lol
Might just do a little Hip fire dance with my buddy while waiting🕺🕺, no tree needed 👌
There you go.
Paul is my go to man for golf instruction. Only problem here is most of us walk when playing golf. playing golf is as much about fitness as it is sport. My golf has slowly been improving since watching Paul Wilson Golf tips.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. Glad you are improving. Just do daily practice swings at home. This is the best way to work on it.
@Paul - 1:27 - Regarding the trail side hip pain. Paused at impact, if we drop a straight line from the rear of your trail shoulder down to the ground, it would probably not make contact with any other part of your body until maybe the ankle or foot. Now couple this anatomical position with the rear knee kicked in towards the target and the trail foot very high off the ground and we get an angle between the top of the femur and the hip joint on the trail side. Two things that will probably reduce the pain significantly. First, delay lifting the trail foot, lift it less, and resist the temptation to push off excessively. Second, and this is the big one; Experiment with having the torso more vertical at impact and less of the trail shoulder hanging back over the trail foot. This will immediately reduce the angle between the top of the femur and the hip joint, and should greatly reduce the pain. I would initially exaggerate having the upper body more towards the target as you progress in the downswing. This will reduce trail side lateral bend, and I speculate the pain will disappear. If it does then you can slowly work the torso backwards a little and see where the pain threshold is. The big challenge of course will be how to maintain distance with this change. If you can stop the trail side foot push and high lift and still get distance, then you've got your solution. Because at that point the trail side lateral bend will occur at a slower rate and to a lesser degree. I see several long hitting pros who use great rotation, get good distance and the trail foot is more along for the ride, not initiating a push. The key here is the angle between the top of the femur and the hip joint. The less you hang back, the less the angle, and less pain. Good luck, and all the best!!
I really only get pain when I am going all out. Working on some things right now that are showing promise and not trying to kill it.
Paul, love all of your videos, I have a question, you don’t teach having your left arm in line with the shaft at address , is their a reason for that? Does it matter?
Thanks so much. I put the club behind the club a little so I don't touch it with irons or knock it off the tee. I have bent down enough in my life. I knock it off the tee I bend down and extra time.
Paul Wilson Golf Thanks Paul!
Im using my wife as the pole...she's angry wth me...r u crazy?🤣
Might want to be careful there.
Paul, just one question. At impact, I know that hip needs to be turned and my head needs to be behind the ball. When I saw other tour players, some of them their heads are much behind the ball or even their bodies are lower. So my question is whether the degree of head behind the ball or lower the body depends on the flexibility of a person’s swing or there are some “guidelines” on them? Thanks for your advice.
Depends what they are working on and who they are going to. You are not a tour player. You need to keep this super simple and get the moves. Once you can and you are shooting in the 70's then you can tweak it. You start getting too technical you will never get it. Coil and load going back. Set the hinge at the top. At that moment you are thinking about turning knowing the shift will happen on its own. I am thinking very circular not lateral. I drop down too but in no way have I ever thought about doing that. Most are hitting with arms. As you start to use your body you will start to get the positions pros are in. See it clearly.
Paul Wilson Golf thanks Paul. One more question - if I do not do full swing, then do I still do hinge and re-hinge? Thanks
Paul two questions:
1. What all is included in lower body. I thought it was upto pelvis / belt. However when I do this drill I also end up moving my belly. So what is left behind are my shoulders and chest?
2. Is separation during downswing damaging in anyway to spine?
1. Waist down. Fire the lower and it will move your upper.
2. In no way does my swing hurt your body. If it does, you are doing it wrong.

These are STILL some of the best free golf lesson on UA-cam!
Thank you, Paul! I practice your “effortless” body swing every day at home (mostly), on the range and when playing on a course and my back has never been happier! ????

Paul has absolutely transformed my game. By far the best teacher on UA-cam for us amateur golfers. Not only that, his effortless swing is much easier on my body. I can shoot through bucket after bucket and not feel sore the next day.

Have been using your system for close to 3 weeks now and I can tell it works great. Hitting the ball further and fuller than before. No more pain in my back as well.

Today at the driving range, I used my fingers to grip the club instead of forcing it into my palms. I had the best session to date.
Thanks Paul. You've helped me achieve a pain free swing!

Paul, I have been watching your videos for a while now and I have been putting into practice what you teach. I just wanted to say THANK YOU because yesterday was the FIRST round I have played in many years where I didn't end up with backache after 18 holes.

Paul Wilson you are the man! Saved my swing, made golf enjoyable again and mainly pain free. Thank you

Don Isenberg •
Thank you so much for your video tips! 15 years ago I was a 6 handicap but had to have back surgery (maybe from hitting to many balls?) and I went 12 years with no golf. I saw your videos and with following your instructions have been able to play again without pain! And the more I watch, the lower my scores have gotten. I am down to a 10 hcp now. Despite being 15 years older and at what might call an advanced age, with your swing, I am hitting it nearly as far as I did before surgery. Thank you for bringing the game back to me.

JIM MCKENZIE •
Appreciate this tip just like all the previous ones. Your instruction has really helped me play with my stiff painful back.

Jeffrey Straczek •
This guy somehow has changed me for the better. I shaved 15 strokes off my game I'm still a work in progress but it's amazing. He's probably the 30th Instructor online I've used I have no need for those other 29 anymore. It absolutely works and if you have chronic pain like me it's also a game changer. Last weekend was the first time in 10 years I didn't need my knee braces to play golf

I played with a guy i never played with in tournment at the end he said i should do a write up on you in paper.That was the best round of golf i ever seen.he like you got a awesome tempo swing.I didnt win i was 2nd..I said well least i was 1st looser hahahahahaha i told them i said just look up Paul Wilson on youtube thats my swing coach now.i said i need a pain free golf game cause of my health issues..Im the man with 5 back surgery.. heart surgery an i have stemlator....
--------------------------------------
Paul I watch your videos every morning at 5:00 am waiting to go to work and I have to say you have made me a believer. You have transformed me into a single digit golfer I don’t have anymore back pain and I hit the ball straight and long. If your ever in Florida email me I would like to invite out to are course.
Thanks Again

I like how Paul sticks to the most basic fundementals without over complicating things. I've seen my swing improve greatly over a year of watching his videos, and most importantly, I no longer experience the pain that I used to suffer during play or practice. I always remind myself of the hinge-butt-hinge routine during warm ups. Thanks for all your tips, sir.

Dave Stout •
Thank you for showing the correct way without locking up and not trying to muscle the ball! You are a great instructor. I have watched a lot of instruction, but you are by far the best to instruct us on a pain free golf swing! Very much appreciated!!! You explain a pain free golf swing to the "tee" Thank you!!!!!!
---------------------------------
Paul I did get it and thank u very much u are the most understandable golf teacher I have ever used! I am seeing results with less hip pain thanks again
--------------------------------
Thank you. I have improved so much and so quickly with your book and tips. I finally get it! No more pain and I enjoy it again.

Just wanting to let you guys know you have made a perfect product here. Nothing has made more sense to me or made things so easy.
I have been hurting my back playing golf but this system has fixed that issue quickly.
Thank you for making such a quality product. Couldn't be happier

HI Paul. I have improved very signifcantly within one week of trying your effortless teaching method. Your tips are very simple but they all work. These are by far the best lessons that i have had in 50 years. No more sore back. Extra distance. Straight shots. Shooting in the 80s.
I really appreciate your golf teaching. My biggest challenge has been to swing without any tension. This is a nice problem to have!

I went from swinging like a loser, to swinging looser. It just works! All kidding aside. My bad back doesn't limit my enjoyment any more either.

Want to get those last few numbers off your handicap to get to a scratch or close to it???
Follow this guy Paul. I'm a big guy, ex athlete, 60ish yrs old. He takes your muscles out of your swing. Brilliant!!!! No more golf injuries, shoulders, elbows, feel fine. I don't wear a glove, 100 rounds a year....no calluses. Thanks Paul!!!

Mike Kniep •
Paul, you continue to give us gems to work on our swing. All of these in sync with your “effortless swing” have helped me improve so much. And that “easy,loose” swing thought has helped me feel the club head and at 70, my distance with each club is better than when I was younger. And no stress on the body! Thank you!
--------------------------------------
Tibor Sol •
Thanks again Paul, you’re method really makes sense. I found that occasionally I actually get it working right and when that happens it is superb. Apart from getting a good result it feels so easy and I have no soreness or fatigue after a round. So great for that golf trip with mates where you might play five rounds over a week long trip. Really battled with forcing myself to be disciplined enough to take the arms out of the swing and do it consistently. I’m a bit of an over thinker and take too many practice swings. I found the practice swings hurt me because I kept bringing the arms back into play for them. Got good improvement once I became more aware of that
--------------------------------------
David Cadieux •
Paul, i enjoy your videos and practice your theory a lot and am hitting the ball much better without back strain.thank you. With such soft wrist do you find the club ( irons ) need to be a bit more upright in lie angle? my clubs have always been a little flat it feels like the toe is a little down at impact

@Paul Wilson Golf I was in a lot of pain due to swinging wrong and health issues. But your tips make golf fun again, and no pain! I'm excited to continue practicing by playing as often as I can. I forgot to mention: along with accuracy, I got lots more distance, and made more GIR. I'll certainly keep you posted. Thanks again, Paul!

I'm all in...the club pro from Vegas is going to fix me right up. If I have to take my Ipad Pro out into the yard that's what's gonna happen. Effortless swing and so far it has felt great on this old back.
------------------------------------------------------
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you for clarifying.
If we use both body and arms, do we get more distance than only using body?
You may yo may not. Don't you want to be long and straight? 10% fairways using arms. 70% or more with no arms. Take your pick.
Fire the hips got it
Yep, this is what most amateurs do not do.
Thinking about using my hips helps me get onto my left foot and to not use my arms and rush the downswing.
Very good. Keep at it.
Hi Paul I was try this drill and felt I was losing tempo and how to combine firing lowering hips and tempo together with out rushing my swing to get consistency
Hit 10 hooks in a row on purpose first. Once you can do that you then start firing the lower body faster and faster until you hit it dead straight. Use the ball as a guide to tell you how hard you need to fire the legs. If you just fire the lower without hooking it first you will hit pushes and push fades.
It's the woods driver 3 woods that I have the most issues
I'm 61 .
I would like consitancy to get ball in fairway ,rough &
Not to hit in trees ,out bounds ,or even losing the ball which I'm sick
Those clubs are easy. Just need to see it differently and get used to some new feelings. Watch your ball. This will tell you exactly what you need to do. I touch on it here:
ua-cam.com/video/o_YFEIiNxZk/v-deo.html
So hips fire first and arms will follow. Correct. But when hips fires downswing starts.
Very hard to think about it.
Tried at the range today but couldn’t come up with it.
Something is missing.
In your next video can you please go to slow motion to see how everything works please
Thanks
Tee up your ball to make it easier and give you room for error. Do it slow. You are probably trying to drive them at top speed. Slow and get it. Then speed it up never tightening the arms.
When I try to lead with the hips I block it to the right or I come over the top and pull it left. When I block it right, it feels like I’m coming from the inside. Any suggestions.
I did a tip on this here:
ua-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/v-deo.html
Listen to what I am saying. On a daily basis I get people to hit it dead straight in minutes. I do what is in this tip.
Could lack of rotation cause the chicken wing? Do you have any videos that cure the chicken wing? I think I’ve been doing this for a very long time.
Yes, if you are not turning you are not using your body. Well, you have to hit it with something so you are using your arms. The harder you hit, the tighter you get, the more the arm muscles contract. Totally loosen the arms. Feel your body doing the work. Try this: ua-cam.com/video/j1mS5Ku8Q10/v-deo.html
Paul Wilson Golf thanks Paul, I liked the lesson and I’m gonna practice this. I believe this might help me be a better golfer! Keep up the great lessons, I appreciate your knowledge!
Hey Paul, why do the pro’s hang their hands so low and close to their bodies?
Some do some don't. From down the line I like the forearms and thighs parallel at 6 inches. Check to see where you are.
How about your golf club upside down to practice hip turn?
I have a tip coming out about flipping your club. Stay tuned.
It seems to work just using my golf club in front of me, both hands resting on the top of the club
Another great way to do it. Whatever works just so long as you are doing it.
When I feel like I'm clearing my hips in the downswing, the driver gains 15-20meters. Thanks!
Perfect! You hit the ball with your body not your arms. You are finding that out.
A very “cheeky” video
It sure is.
I don't really understand these days how people have all this great UA-cam content to help them get a decent golf swing and understand that they can't just cast their arms out at the golf ball and expect it to turn out well. It's good for business, but I bet it's also pretty frustrating to see these people coming in over and over to get lessons from you, Paul, and doing the exact same wrong thing over and over.
Because of human nature telling people to hit the ball and there are tons of teachers out there telling people to whack at it with their arms. Yes, it gives me a never ending supply of customers because after 20 years of hitting with the arms and they've thrown their back out, they hit it nowhere and their arms hurt they finally realize that maybe their is another way to do it. Hopefully, my channel explodes and more and more people start doing it. I have been getting amazing results since 1991. It's not difficult. It's different. They just have to try it. Hope they do.
At the range I notice how all the very good players do what you are teaching Paul, and the poorer players are all practising swinging with their arms.
Exactly. Truly mind boggling how people aren't being taught this. Oh well, I guess it's up to me to get the word out. Then we can all play better golf.
