Most people think you need to be strong to hit their driver longer. So why is it little kids and petite players can hit it longer than you? They have to be doing it somehow. They certainly aren't strong.
These weaker players are using their hips to hit the ball. They turn them a lot quicker than you which increases their clubhead speed resulting in longer drives. Here is a simple hip drill that you can literally be doing anywhere so you can hit driver longer.
If you keep doing this drill as well as the others I have recently posted you too will have a quicker hip turn allowing you to hit driver longer than ever.

Tip Link: • HIT DRIVER LONGER WITH...
Another brilliant one, (free), lesson from da Man. I’m telling you kids this guy is the real deal. I’ve learned more from him in a week watching his videos than in the past 15 years since I started playing. So easy on the noggin, makes perfect sense and explains why we need to do these things. I broke 90 for the first time ever just by applying several tips from Paul’s free You Tube videos in one week of watching this past weekend. Hitting the best most consistent shots of my life this past week. Get on these vids people, they are golf gold.
Glad to hear you are starting to get it. Image a year from now. 70's is easily doable. Just got to keep it simple.
I decided to adapt this style a few weeks ago. I'm 41yrs old and my back would hurt so bad after playing, I had to do something different. I mean, it'd hurt so bad after a round that I could barely walk.
So far, I've increased driver distance from 260's carry to over 280 carry consistently. Irons are all about 5-10yds longer as well.
My 2 problems I'm having: I'm pulling my short irons, 8-wedges. Also, if I fire my hips through faster with driver, like this video demonstrates, I block it right. Not a slice, a block. And it goes FAR!
Other than these 2 faults I'm absolutely loving this swing. I'm unleashing power I never knew was there. But the main thing, after 3 range sessions and 3 rounds of golf - NO BACK PAIN, NONE.
Thank you Paul Wilson 💯
Fantastic. I love hearing it. And some idiot the other day said my swing would create back pain. Some seem to think this is my first rodeo. I have been doing this almost 30 years. I have countless emails from people that they are playing pain free golf. You are further proof. Problem 1: I just did a tip on this a few days ago here: ua-cam.com/video/BZD0_jPL8ks/v-deo.html and Problem 2 here: You are diving the lower too hard. This causes you to come out of it and lock the wrists sligihtly holing the face open. Anytime you hit a push it is telling you that you are swinging too hard. You need to loose then wrists to unlock the hinge and try again but not so fast with the lower body ua-cam.com/video/utFggMFjtng/v-deo.html
It works to make my swing more easy and efficient.
Thanks,Paul
Excellent! Glad you are seeing results. Keep at it.
Great 👍 tip Paul. I have started to feel my hips move in the swing and I can tell you it really makes a positive difference. More distance more accuracy. Keep those tips coming.
Thnaks. Glad you liked it.
Cant help but relate this rotation move to hearing from father quite often while working on the ranch "get your ass into it son" while pulling or pushing.
He was right.
hi Paul another get tip your tips have taken me from a 23 hanicap golfer to 11 in 24 months thanks
That's great. So close to single digit now. Set this as you new goal for 2023 and stay focused. Keep doing daily practice swings making your swing even better then add some short game too. I just can't see it being an issue to get to single digits. Great job.
3:24 Elvis baby. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Hips.
I just moved things around in this apartment so I can use the 48" SKLZ Gold Flex, not much room here, anyways, I figure by next summer I'll be spinning so fast that my buddies will have no other choice but to call me Tornado Gramps:) I'm not going to stop until I get it right and kick a little dust once and awhile. Doc. Wilson will keep me spinning all winter long so I can keep the the elastic arms warmed up. Beats sitting around and letting a bad golf swing get worse. When we get to our golden years it'll be so much fun to play a sport that gets us on our feet.
If you're familiar with Paul's videos and teachings, that SKLZ club is the last training aid you'd want to use. Lighter the better!
Light is right as far as training clubs are concerned.
Marc Tebo yes I agree, I’m so tight in the muscles i need to stretch them first and go just with my clubs afterwards. Thank you
Great advice!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
I noticed years ago with the naked eye,the right pocket ,the right hand and the club head were in alignment at impact for the better players,so rotation is very important as is timing of the rotation,in my opinion.
Good catch.
Been sticking to your system for the last month and it’s going great. Shot 10 over yesterday and I’m off 20 and didn’t sink a decent putt. I’m finding when I try to go fast at it I’m hitting more pushes.
Exactly. So when you hit those shots slow down and loosed the wrists. You need to stick to the level you can handle. I just did this tip: ua-cam.com/video/utFggMFjtng/v-deo.html
Awesome. Love all these drills for hips..i bought body swing & thought about touching knees but never really worked on hips on regular basis or tried to lock left leg while touching legs
Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. Yes, legs and hips. Just really get them moving. This should feel like a totally different power source in your swing.
When you get the timing of the rotation perfect, it's a awesome feeling,I can attest ,it might last one swing or weeks but it does come and go unfortunately for me.It might be M.Normans feeling of greatness.
Watch your ball to memorize the amount of rotation you need. pull = more legs push = less.
@@paulwilsongolf Pardon my ignorance but what do u mean by more legs exactly? Ty
Rather than thinking about the hips, I found that from a loaded backswing feeling the trail thigh turning into the lead thigh produces the arc turn to an efficient downswing and finish.
If that works for you and you are doing it right hen keep doing it.
Thanks Paul got get hippy a week or two of this want to get good at this
Yes, just really focus on the hips and you will see a huge difference.
Thanks Paul, I noticed those pros are doing that hip rotations well.
But for me (60 y.o. male, 105kg, 170cm) what really helps is the stretching that I always do the night before the game. The flexibility and less-sore muscles greatly enhance hip rotations and prevents the arms from taking over my downswings.
So, would appreciate if you can advise us some recommended stretches so that we improve flexibility while preventing injuries.
FYI, my regular stretching moves would follow some pilates lessons I took some time ago. Cheers..
That is important too. A few stretches to keep you loose is always a good thing. I follow my good friend Roger Fredericks stretching program. He is an expert. I am not.
Paul, I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and find them very good. Why is it you're the only golf Pro who mentions and teaches the hips in the swing!. I lost my swing some years back due to muscle problems and was using my arms too much....I sorted the problem out and realised that I wasn't using my hips as before. Now I just have to get my timing right. Keep the videos coming Paul and would love to come to the usa for one of your golf schools in the future.
Well, back in 1999 I stopped hitting completely with my arms. So I have been really focused on the lower body as the power source. So years of teaching tens of thousands of people got me explaining it and saying it in ways golfers can understand and do. I don't just think of the present too. I am building a swing for a lifetime. Others try to get you to hit a few good shots immediately then it falls apart and you have to come back. I want you to get it on your own. Isn't that the whole point?
ok here’s the thing with distance, it’s not all about distance, it’s more about accuracy! I’m a 12 handicap and went to the course a few years ago by myself and they paired me with a 74 year old guy that was already on the #1 box putting on his knee brace, he was walking and played 3 times per week for exercise. Here’s the point, he wasn’t long but you’d think he had a laser sight on his clubs. Watching him was amazing. Like I said he wasn’t that long but the ball went where he wanted it. He shoots his age
Yes, consistency is important too. I have tips on that as well. If they guy was shooting his age then he has been a very good player when he was younger too.
5:05 ...can you do it any faster ?? ...oooookayyy, I'm really gonna tryyy ....lol ...great vid Paul !!
Exactly. Been doing it a while.
Going to try this. Tired of being known as a straight but 210 yd driver..
So start doing the hips drills and get them moving. I just posted a bunch of them over the last week. Here they all are: ua-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/v-deo.html

Hi, Paul. Golf is such an interesting study. You're based in Las Vegas and, I believe Jim Venetos is base in the Phoenix area. I would love to see an exhibition, say 36 holes stroke play day one followed by 18 hole match play day two, between yourself and Jim. I, myself, use a mix of golf styles which, I'm sure both yourself and Jim can agree, is why I'm a duffer. Thank you for the videos. Be Happy.
What does that prove? Isn't it about you learning it. We already know how to do it.
You need to stick to one method.
@@paulwilsongolf: It doesn't prove anything, Paul. I just thought, with your methods being quite different, it would be interesting. As for using one method, well, you use your method, Jim uses his method and I use a mix I have learned over the years, which is my method. I guess I, too, use one method. Mine. I will say that at 69 years old and having worked standing on concrete for decades, I don't fire my hips much. And, no, it isn't about me learning it. I already know how to do it, too. I just enjoy watching golf, learning about different methods and trying to kill time during this lock-down. Just because I refer to myself as a duffer doesn't mean you know how well I golf.
I really didn't expect said exhibition to happen. After all, neither of you would have much to gain other than a bruised ego. Sorry if you thought I was questioning your method. That was not my intent. I was just thinking of the history of exhibition matches in golf history. I wish you well. Be Happy.
I was just answering your question. I have literally played 9 times this year. Sure it might be fun but I wouldn't make 36 holes. Like I also said, we already know how to do it. I care about students doing it. I gave up playing a long time ago for that very reason. Sticking to one method is what I would say to anyone. Whether it be mine or not you need to stick to one pro. All pros have different thoughts about the swing. You start combining things and it will be a problem. I saw a couple of his videos and our styles are different. Be Happy.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you for your reply. I wasn't trying to make any point other than I would like to see such a match. As for combining things being a problem, I assure you that, to me, that is the fun of golf. Eighty percent of the golf I play is just Old Man Par and me. The rest is limited to about 5 people. I see little value for me in paying a pro for lessons that I know I would not practice. I have neither the heart of a goof, nor am I looking for magic plus fours. I just have fun playing golf. It's a pleasant way to fill a day. Have fun. Be Happy.
Great video, sometimes my left knee gives me trouble when I swing, plus the fear of the pain if I turn with to much pressure on my knee. I will keep trying the hip turn exercise to over come the fear also to strengthen that knee. Any advice with someone with knee trouble? Thanks
You need the left knee to go straight back. This will not hurt your knee. Around 3/4 through it will be pretty close to locked. Turn on a weird angle and yes, you could hurt your knee. The joint goes back and forth.
You are right most of the online teachers are teaching a pro swing...that’s why I like your method...I am 66 years old and a 15 handicap...my irons are ok...chipping...fairway...and putting and sand shots are great...my problem is my driver...I just want to be able to drive the ball around 240 to 250....in the fairway...consistently....and keep my training simple....I am not interested in bombing the ball 280 etc....
Exactly. I have always known my student. I teach very few younger players. Driver is not that hard. You need to tell me where the ball is going so I know what you are doing. Work on loosening the wrists then moving your body as I am explaining so it become the power sources. You can do it.
Paul Wilson Golf....each drive is an absolute surprise...lol...I may pop it up...to hooking it...to slicing it...to taking my eyes off the ball and duffing it....lol....It’s crazy....I can hit it with my old swing...with my arms but i sacrifice all my distance.....I was raised in watching golfers like my father who caddied for Sam Snead...Nicklaus...Palmer...Trevino....kite etc....I emulate my swing after them....without the internet and utube....all this rotation in the hips was never available to the average golfer who could not afford a golf instructor....the golf swing was to keep your head down and move your weight back and then thru the ball onto your left side....
Their arms are like pencils! Luv it
Well, they are ... lol. I say it like it is.
👍
Thanks.
Paul on the fast hip turn drill I noticed you’re knee caps are “kissing” - is that some we should strive for when turning the hips quickly? I.e, have both knee caps touch? Thank you
If you can touch them yes, touch them. Then you get feedback to know you are doing the exact same position every time you swing. This is one of the positions in The Body Swing.
another great video paul. i know i can do this because when i make a practice swing to hit a weed or broken tee i'm shocked at how fluid and powerful it is. when i step up to the ball, very difficult to repeat. do you know about how long it takes to master this move? thanks..
Thanks so much. There is no way for me to know how long it will take. If you would on it daily in practice swings as well as at the range you will get it a lot faster. It's about repetition. The more you do it, the faster you get it.
Paul, I've been watching your videos all summer. And you've helped me quite a bit. But I still feel that I'm not hitting the ball anywhere near as far as I could be. I hit it about 270-280 on average with the roll, sometimes 300+ when hit solid. But I'm pretty much all self taught and feel like I'm swinging as hard i can most of the time. I can feel my arms buckle a lot lol. Any advice for this?
Yes, loosen your arms. If they are buckling you are way too tight. Mine feel like butter. It is crystal clear I am hitting it with my legs and hips. I explain this in all of my tips. So you need to slow down first and get the arms completely out. You do that with this drill: ua-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/v-deo.html once the arms are out you fire the lower body for more power. This is going to be one step back to go 5 steps forward. Perfect the neutral grip and loosen the wrists. grip - ua-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/v-deo.html wrists - ua-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/v-deo.html
I have been working on using your method to improve my drives....today I played 18 holes and all my drives went right down the middle of the fairway except for one shot which was a line up problem....I finally got it...what a relief....and my left hip and my left toe are sore as hell...
the only problem I am having is the drives are to high...i am hitting the ball on the top portion of my driver...I tried moving my ball up in my stance that did not work....I use those preset tees for drivers to eliminate that problem...In my setup after a waggle or two I place the driver on the ground...I tried lifting it up about half an inch above the ground before my back swing...I tried standing more erect...do you have any suggestions to correct my ball height....thanks
Very good. Did you make it simple? Yes. Did it work? Yes. Hmmm maybe there is something to this simple way of thinking. To high watch: ua-cam.com/video/PZkBP21bPJU/v-deo.html
Paul is it possible to have the arms and wrists too loose? I can fire my lower body really quick but I almost feel like my arms aren’t keeping up with my body and I push fade ball. I don’t want to help my arms keep up by swinging them as that’s not the correct way. I feel like if I could time my arms with by body better I could generate really power as I am flexible and can fire my hips hard. Any tips?
I think I’ve maybe jumped in at the deep end too quick going full power without building it up slow to get the timing better or I may be hanging back to much when I fire the body I think.
If you only speed up the body of course you're going to blow it right.
So the first thing you need to do is roll the wrists from the top and hit 10 hooks in a row. This speeds up the release. Now you can drive the lower harder to straighten it out. If you blow it right do it again. Do this but early: ua-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/v-deo.html
Here are the drills (wrists):
ua-cam.com/video/M868QsTlGt4/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/N-nGM6yN790/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/v-deo.html
Remember to roll it from the top to get it hooking. Forget direction. You only care about the spin. Once you can hook it then start firing your lower body to straighten it out. Watch the ball. If you keep pull/pull hooking it you need to fire sooner. Blow it right again that is too hard. When you hit it straight you memorize how much lower it took then keep firing at this level.
@@paulwilsongolf thank you so much Paul I’ll get working on this right away
Paul, you touched on my issue in another video, my issue I will call “white ball syndrome”. I can take a very nice smooth practice swing, but when the ball is there there’s something in my brain that tells me just to hit the ball, not swing the club, any insight?
Yours and most everyone else's issue too. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/v-deo.html
This is why my teaching is different. I give precise positioning so you know where point B is in your swing. So you swing from point A to point B knowing the ball is going to be hit. I don't really give it all away here but I have taught that way since 1991. You are making a movement knowing the ball will be hit:
ua-cam.com/video/gIp4ifKuZIw/v-deo.html
Thanks Paul, that was really helpful. I hit with my arms for 40 years, been trying to change to your method since I started watching you last year. It’s taking time, and a few thousand swings later, I’m getting there. You’re the only videos I watch now, thanks for the reply.
DJM
Thanks for the support. I truly appreciate it. To get this faster you need to be doing daily practice swings. A few key moves and you've got it. Grip and setup. Hinge/rehinge. Then coil/uncoil. If you have my Body Swing product then you need to be hitting the positions precisely. Do this in a mirror. Start with 25 reps per day. This will lead to 100 or more. With my stuff you do not need to hit balls. The ball is the problem.
Excellent for my clubspeed, got up to 115 mph, problem is everything is goin left. Either a snaphook or more often a dead straight ball far left. Problem is I’m hitting it far left so someone swears it has to be a lost ball and pick it up.
I just posted this today. Follow it and in minutes you will be hitting it dead straight:
ua-cam.com/video/FOB9geBbyFA/v-deo.html
Hi Paul, when you are hitting a fade how do you make sure the clubface doesn't close while you are swinging to the left so you don't hit a big pull.
You are pre-setting the face open relative to your stance. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/GERdoCcL5rE/v-deo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks that video helps a lot. I didn't realize you need to aim the club to target, I was always told to aim it slightly less left of body line. I will give this a try!
When do you fire the hips though?
As soon as you start down. No arms. Fire the hips. Then you are hitting it with your body not your arms.
@@paulwilsongolf how do you hit the ball straight and time the downswing with the hip turn?
@@paulwilsongolf ok will definitely try it out
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/v-deo.html
When i turn my hips my shoulder turns too outside in. How do i stop that?
Quit shifting onto your forward foot as you fire the lower. ua-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/KlffJzbskmM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/v-deo.html
I struggle with getting shaft lean at impact. Ive lost all lag by the time my hands get to my trail leg. I’ve noticed I don’t see my left side at impact. By turning my hips more will that improve my shaft lean at impact.
This is you trying to hit with your arms so of course you have no lag. You are not trying to make it lean. You get the lean by getting the right fundamentals. Watch this first: ua-cam.com/video/b7sboTQf9yw/v-deo.html The do these drills: ua-cam.com/video/sZ2-dqOausU/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/v-deo.html
Hi Paul, is there any fear that doing this drill a lot will cause you hips and arms to become too "disconnected"? Or is that not even a thing. I've had issues with timing and getting my arms stuck behind and I worry this drill might throw things off time. But I might be wrong. Thoughts?
No. If you blow it right you either hook 10 shots in a row to speed up the timing of the release then add body again or you slow down your hips. Timing is so simple yet everyone thinks it's hard. 5mins and I could get you hitting it dead straight. See it differently.
Hey Paul, when we fire the hips what are we doing with our shoulders? Should they remain passive or do we fire them too? I think I am coming over the top because I am firing the shoulders as well as the hips at the same time. If you could clarify this it would be appreciated. Thanks!
In no way are you firing the shoulders. You uncoil the bottom quickly and the upper will follow. Just don't hit in any way with your arms.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks for that Paul. I was flushing my driver today, 10 yards further and much lower penetrating flight. It turns out I was not hinging ny wrists fully at the top. Now I will try to relax the shoulders and arms even more.
Are This old videos?
Why would you say that. I just shot this a few days ago.
Paul Wilson Golf you never get old .
Hi Paul, I love the content. One area I’m really struggling with is moving my head to the right on the downswing. I was always told to keep my head still, and I can’t get out of that habit. Any tips would be appreciated!
Glad you like them. Thanks. You need to move your head going back. Just did this tip the other day. Listen to how I got it then you do the same: ua-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/v-deo.html I used my feet.
Paul Wilson Golf Thanks Paul, going to watch this then hit the range.
Let us know how you do.
Paul Wilson Golf Thanks Paul, I can keep my head back but find it difficult to push my weight forward at the same time. I did hit some nice shots when I got the timing right though.
It appears you teach sort of sliding of the hips yet most pros teach this bending of the legs on the downswing like sitting on a bar stool and then pushing off at impact and release....I get the rotation but I don’t see the other parts of the movement...
Sliding. How would you get that idea. In no way do I teach a slide. I am teaching a turn and shift. Yes the squatting is being talked about. Try doing it in 1/4 of second it takes to hit the ball. Then try jumping up and not topping it. Your older guy is never going to get that.
This is why people are not improving. They are teaching stuff no one will ever do.
Paul Wilson Golf i guess what I am getting at...is just rotating is not doing it....I have been transferring my weight on my right foot as you teach however I am having a problem with just rotating from that position....my drives are going left....it’s the transfer to the left side is the problem and when in the sequence.....
Did you miss this tip: ua-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/v-deo.html You need to shift and turn. throw balls overhand? Here: ua-cam.com/video/7z5eUcSwlSk/v-deo.html
Here's my latest practice video - ua-cam.com/video/nXBvfK2ogsg/v-deo.html
Here are my thoughts:
First swings just looked lazy. You wouldn't do that if you were hitting balls.
The comparison pic is better. You will never get the pic at impact so stop thinking you will.
The 2 things you need to work on are less leg movement going back. I can see right between you knees (way too much). So little more flex in the right knee. Make sure the left knee is not going out but behind the ball into the backswing. Less legs and hips going back puts you in a better position to fire the hips to get them open at impact.
Club is still laid off at the top. Just start crossing the line a little at the top. If so, you won't do it as much which will allow the club to be done the line. That laid off position is just to weak. 2 things this time. Get to work!
Paul as you demonstrate this it looks like you early extend the right hip and knee. How do you blend the right hip move without early extension? Thank You
I do early extend a little. This saves my back. I have tried to tilt more but can't seem to do it so I stopped worrying about it. To get rid of if you need need to turn the left butt check more so it's visible at and past impact. Try this and see what happens. Others want you to tilt your belt buckle down, bend over etc. I tried them and can't even hit the ball plus as I said it hurts my back. If you can't figure it out then stop thinking about it. It will drive you crazy. Watch Nicklaus. He swung his driver as I do without issue.
i like to see how you made golf swing much more easier
Simple is the way. If it's too complicated you won't understand it or be successful trying it. Glad you like the tips.
Hey Paul happy Easter too ya. It hard for me to separate the hips from my upper body . So I come over the top alot .any ideas would be much appreciated.thank you!
Same to you. For sure it's hard to separate them. This is the difference between pros and ams. So you need to be constantly doing practice swings working on it. If you are sending it over the top you are leaning forward as you come down. As I fire my lower my whole upper body goes back (like hitting the accelerator on a car). I do it quick and I am not immediately shifting to my forward foot. Easy way to remember it. Lean left you will swing left. Lean right you will swing right. So ... lean right. Just try it and you will see how it changes the path. Watch:
ua-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/D1KL7G8Vmro/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/p6YWiBPnQqI/v-deo.html
Do this drill every day as much as you can in practice swings for 1 month:
ua-cam.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/v-deo.html
Separation separates pros from ams. Get separation and guess what? You hit it like a pro.
@@paulwilsongolf ok Paul I appreciate your instructions I Will work hard on this to thank you
great advice. I have improved my golf swing watching these videos
Glad you like them.
I'm so glad to have happened upon your UA-cam stuff...it's excellent. Your combination of expertise, wit and simplicity gives me the kind of hope that made me fall in love with this game years ago...but alas, that once magical love affair has become more like a damaged, nearly abusive relationship now...I still love her, but she just don't love me back sort of thing...anyway, I digress...here's the bottom line...any ideas/drills to keep weight from rolling over to the outside of the back foot? I'm a fairly decent athlete, but it's hard for me to keep it on the instep, thus I lose all kinds of power, consistency, sanity, etc. Over the years, I've created compensating, handsy, timing based survival mechanisms to somehow get back to the ball fairly decently and limp through a round of golf, scoring fine, but definitely not hitting the ball like I should. I'm tired of scrambling all the time and old habits, especially bad ones, are hard to break.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. To get the weight on the instep you need to move your head. If the head stays too still the weight moves outside. As you move your head you can get the weight on this foot and in the process you stablize your whole foot to the ground. If there isn't enough weight there it's easy to move it. I did a tip on it here:
ua-cam.com/video/NBgrxz5hSJU/v-deo.html
I would think you need to change the rotational angle you are turning on. Your shoulders may be turning back too steep. To get this you need to stand up at set up. The way to check is that you cannot clearly see your toes (peripheral is fine). From a taller set up you can easily coil and uncoil. Tilted set up gets you moving like a see saw potentially throwing you the the outside of this back foot.
Here are some other tips to watch:

I can’t wait to give it a try…Once again, there’s hope! You’re a class act to respond so quickly and thoughtfully. Professor Wilson, it seems you actually just want to help people. I shall spread the word about your generosity…Thank you!
Thanks in advance for your promo to others. There are so many people struggling out there. Most of it comes from hitting with the arms and few are trying to get people to stop doing this. So I guess I need to keep doing what I do and get people hitting it way better and having more fun out there.
Great video, is this true for mid and short irons as well?
Yes, one swing all clubs.

Thanks so much. Well, I just started posting again in May. Thanks for your help. I will get there at some point. People are getting better know so the more people I can help, the faster it will grow. Just got to keep doing what I do.
I am going to try raising the head of the driver off the ground before I take it back and see if that helps...or try choking up on the driver .....but I do feel like I am hitting the driver like you teach...thanks
Don't hover it too much. There is no need to grip down unless your driver is too long for you. Loose wrists turn your body using your legs and hips for power. You need simple thoughts. You were making it way too complicated before.
I have been working on your teaching of the hips....and it is very difficult for my mind to accept this however...8 know it works because if I do it correctly I don’t even feel like I am hitting the ball and it goes a mile...in an instant...it’s a great feeling...but I still find myself losing my posture if I speed my hips up however I know this works because I did it.....I just can’t keep repeating it yet...
Exactly. Just keep doing the drills daily. Your body needs to get used to it.
I'm starting to take the body swing to the course. I know instantly when I revert to hitting. It's ugly. When I swing with relaxed arms, great results. Can a 71 y/o hope to build real speed. I'm getting about 210 carry now.
Glad you are seeing it. Easy is the way.. 210 carry is pretty good. Once you are ready you are going to fire the lower body harder for more power. Do this drill daily: ua-cam.com/video/lUOLMl_zmek/v-deo.html
@@paulwilsongolf thank you. Great tip. A question about foot position. It looks like both lead and trail feet are slightly flared open from perpendicular to target line? Also is it ok to slightly raise lead heel during backswing? I really appreciate your teaching. I'm actually having to repair ball marks on greens... :-)
When I turn my hips real hard my right foot steps forward to the target.
At least you are not hanging back. If you are doing the move fine then that's okay. Just visually it is not appealing. I will be shooting at tip on this shortly. Just follow it if you want to fix it.
Morning coach.! Looking great.!
Thanks.
Thanks Paul, great lesson!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
