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

  • In this golf transition tip I show you an easy way to start your lower body in the downswing. This will get you learning a powerful, effortless, pain free golf swing.
    Almost everyone I teach tries to start the downswing with their arms. This is due to trying to hit the ball sitting on the ground. The more distance they want, the harder they hit. The problem is that hitting hard locks your wrists losing power and consistency. The tighter the wrists, the slower the club swings.
    So although it may feel good to hit with the arms you will never develop a powerful, effortless and pain free golf swing like this. There is an easy way to hit the ball so much longer and better with both irons and driver. It all starts at transition. As you start down, here's an easy way is to start your lower body in the downswing and let your arms follow.
    Work on your golf transition by watching this tip and trying it when you practice and even when you play. Once you make the switch to the lower body starting your downswing, you can finally turn your arms off and hit the ball longer and straighter than ever.

    Very simple yet very powerful lesson here. It's not really a "tip" this gentleman is providing here. It's more of a "gift". I'm a scratch golfer and if you were to listen to no other golf instruction EVER for the rest of your life, you're going to do just fine if you keep working on what he says in this 10 minute clip and then keep building on it. So many instructors over complicate the swing and confuse people with their teachings. People leave feeling that the pro is blessed and they could never do this and they feel the teacher means well but is simply way more talented at golf than you'll ever be. NOT TRUE. Many golf pros don't know how to teach. This one is crystal clear in communicating, tells the simple TRUTH, and if you can just believe that's it's really not that complicated then it'll work. If you are looking for some long technical explanation for how the golf swing works then go elsewhere and keep being confused. No joke. Paul obviously cares or he wouldn't share this video. Nice of him. Many of you have no idea the power of what he's saying here. Don't dismiss this video.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  3 роки тому +22

      Thank you for your kind words. Glad you picked up on that. Years ago when I was learning the swing I made it complicated. It got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. Simple is the key for sure. I have always thought this way. If you understand it, then you will see the importance and actually do it.

    This is one of the best golf tips I have ever watched on UA-cam. 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
      @paulwilsongolf  7 місяців тому +2

      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.

      If you are casting you are moving the mass (club) before the axis (body). Need to reverse it. Also, try this:

    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
      @paulwilsongolf  2 місяці тому

      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:
      ua-cam.com/video/LAejvDbw_aA/v-deo.html
      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.

    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
      @paulwilsongolf  3 роки тому +1

      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.

    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!

      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. So hit few balls and spent your time on the drill:

    @johnschwartz1536 2 роки тому

    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
      @paulwilsongolf  2 роки тому

    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
      @paulwilsongolf  2 роки тому

      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.

    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!!

      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.

    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
      @paulwilsongolf  Рік тому

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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. Once you get that you hit it by coiling and uncoiling your body. In simple terms that it. So please give it a try. At some point you have to realize hitting hard DOES NOT work and never will.
