Not gonna lie, when I first saw this video I told myself there's no way this will work. I was very skeptical and was about to click off the video until I decided to read some of the comments below. When I saw how many people said it helped them, I just had to try it. I've been struggling with my putting for a long time so I figured this couldn't hurt. The next weekend, I went out to the putting green about 30 minutes before my tee time and tried the Wiggle. I made more putts on the practice green than I ever had. Then I went and played a round. Needless to say, I made 3 birdies and 1 eagle that day. All of those putts were at least 15-25-foot putts. Best day putting I've ever had in a long time. Paul, you definitely made me a believer in the Wiggle. This is now my new practice routine before every round. Thank you for sharing.
I like the imitation of the frustrated golfers! This is great. I stumbled onto something years ago and never realised why it worked so well until this video. I would imagine myself simply attempting to roll the ball in the hole similar to lawn bowling and then take the put, the improvement was the quickest and longest lasting change I'd ever had. It still works a charm, and thanks to you I realised its because I am not thinking thru the shot but simply making the shot. My method is different but I think essentially the same. Thanks!! I also applied a similar principle to my Irons, I basically imagine I'm chopping into a tree with an axe, this also had great results, even though I thought I would be slicing the ball a lot I didn't. Just had a simple, relatable, image in my head instead of a bunch of confused instructions!! Thanks again.
Paul I am a former professional. I watched your video went to the practice green, this is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I've used and worked hard on aim point. Your results were unbelievable!!!! I've been playing since I was 4 I have never seen anything like this in 52 years of playing!! Well done huge fan now. Thank you!!!
Dear Paul, It's really insane ... I have practiced it at my putting green equipment, the length is about 2.8 meter and he result has never been consistent like this. Thanks a lot, Paul, for this craziest putting tips that has never been since. I will practice at my golf club this Saturday and I am sure my golf mates will be surprised of the result, which will be sure I will make total putting of less than 36 uit in total ... Thanks again Paul for this incredible tips ... I will give a comment further after I practice it on Saturday this week ...
I tried this technique today…putted the best I have in a long time. Somehow my speed was great. When I missed long putts, they were left within inches of the hole. I almost holed out a 30 footer. I felt like I could make every putt I took today. Thanks so much for this video.
I have to give props and say this this title of “best tip ever” is no clickbait exaggeration. I have been putting like a new man the last 2 weeks since watching this video and doing the wiggle drill before each round. Completely freed up my stroke for both short and long putts. Even started making 20 footers much more frequently. Focusing on the target and not stroke mechanics is truly a game-changer. Kudos, Paul!
Listen as a new golfer who has played basketball for 35 years, all I can say is YES!!! IM NOT CRAZY.... when I first started putting I didn't worry about anything other than the cup. (Aka the target) I was sinking 10 footers like free throws. Then, as I played more and started watching other people and listening to guys give me tips putting became the hardest part of the game. For me putting is so much easier when I take the jump shooter mentality. Focus on the target and simply follow through.
I 100% agree! I just picked up golf 3 years ago. I raced motocross and played college football growing up so I’m pretty well coordinated. When I started golfing I was burying putts! 10-20-30footers! My boss couldn’t believe it on a company outing, sunk a 35footer in front of the outing host in a putting contest. Now 3 years later my putting has greatly declined. After watching your video this makes way to much sense. When I started I was focusing on target and referencing my ball out of the corner of my eye. Now I stare at the ball and not the cup! I’m leaving for a 3 day outing in about ten minutes and cannot wait to try this out!!! I’ll report back here when I return home!
Yes, glad you found this. Give it a try and you will see the power of it. You explained it perfectly what has happened to your putting. Need to be target oriented.
@@paulwilsongolf 100% true. My putting is back on the incline. I sank at least 35% of my putts and was on target with everything. I even almost buried a 35-40foot putt and I never even looked at the ball on that one at all! Thanks for the tip!
I rarely leave comments on videos however I tried this and I had to have my say! I am a 5 handicap. I played 2 consecutive rounds with 4-5 3 putts per round. I was beyond frustrated . I found this video and thought " why not try it , It cannot hurt my terrible putting . I did this drill for 20 mins before my round , I honestly didnt notice anything on the practice green that would indicate what happened on the course. On the course , I putt Lights out ! I swear ! I made a 15 footer for birdie on the 1st, then decided to wiggle as a practice stroke the rest of the round and IT WORKS ! thank you Paul
I have always felt like my putter was all over the place when I was concentrating on the perfect stroke, which left me being a terrible putter, not to mention frustrated. Yesterday, I was on the course, playing alone, so I thought I would give your tip a try. All I can say is, I was laughing, and talking to myself at how incredible it worked. I was putting the ball close to the cup, or in, on every putt, at one point sinking three 10 to 15 foot putts in a row. This literally is not just the best putting tip I have ever gotten, but the best golfing tip I have ever gotten. Thank you so much.
"Yesterday, I was on the course, playing alone, so I thought I would give your tip a try. All I can say is, I was laughing, and talking to myself at how incredible it worked." This just goes to show that if you ever see a crazy person on a golf course, think twice. They probably look crazy muttering to themselves, laughing uncontrollably, etc. but they're probably perfectly sane but just tried out a Paul Wilson golf tip.
Thank-you so much for this putting tip/miracle!!!! I immediately went out used your putting in League play. I seen a definite improvement in target focus. I then played in a scramble on the weekend & putted LIGHTS OUT!!! I made 3 long putts totaling over 80 feet. Two of the 3 putts were for EAGLE and each putt was 25 feet or more. (No Pressure 😂). I was freer & more target focused. I really never gave any thought to how far any of the putts were. Our final score was 12 under for the day! This was a CHAMPIONS TOURNAMENT for all the golf leagues that play at the golf course during the golf season. I have played golf for over 40 years & this was my best day of putting!! Thank-you Paul!!!
Wow! That's great. Perfect timing to do it in a tournament. Try to remember it for the future. If you feel you aren't making anything just do the drill.
You are The Best coach Ever!! I have Loved your teaching since the first video I watched! This video, I must say that I was skeptical- BUT you said it would work so I believed you and I tried it and By Golly you are Absolutely Right! (Of course you are). I played 2 days in a row with 90% 2 putts AND an occasional 1 putt! I Made my husband watch your video and he tried it and he said “I’m a convert “. I had been struggling with my putting lately- but no more! Thank You, Paul! No one teaches like you do ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you tried this and saw results. That kind of putting is really going to help get those scores down. So glad you told your husband and it worked for him too. I just think outside the box.
That's great. So glad you tried it and see the power in it. Try to remember it for the future. Just do this before you play then normal stroke when you play.
Paul Wilson!!! Yes you are the man!! This drill is the best. I used it today for the first time and only had 25 putts. The only thing I would add is people need to remember to move the putter with their shoulders and not the hands.
Wow what a tip, this has been by far the best golf tip ever. I have made more puts after working on you tip then I have ever made, along with a few birdies. Thanks for the time you spend helping us arm swingers. Stephen Crawford
I'm a father of 4, married, quite succesfull in life. Just repicked Golf after over a 20 years break. My personality is quite modest but i have to confess that my dream would be crossing the ocean and have a 3 days school in Vegas with you as coach! Thank you Mr. Wilson! From Bodyswing, Chipping, to Putting! Thank you for sharing people a life filled with enjoyable Golf!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support. Be great to meet and work with you. Just let me know if you can make it in the future. Keep up the good work. Glad you got back into playing. Fun times ahead.
I tried this today. Also explained it to my playing partner and he tried it even though he didn’t see the video. We were both amazed at how close we were lagging our putts.. Definitely going to practice this on a regular basis. Thanks for your videos!!
This makes sense. Shooting a basketball you’re focusing on the rim not on your shot. Your tips are simple and hands down the most effective teacher online or in person. Your full swing tip of starting the downswing with your lower body has dropped my handicap from 20 to a 7 all while being the worst putter on the course. I’m convinced I can get to a scratch with even an average putter. Thank you!
Exactly. Same idea. Glad you like my teaching. I appreciate the support. Simple is the key for sure. Wow! That's a huge drop. You have to be so excited having so much more fun out there. Great job. Well, you are certainly on your way to scratch. Getting to a 4 is easily doable. Getting to par is a lot harder. Need precise positioning and a great short game. Good goal to have though. Keep at it.
What a great drill. Not only does this help with the accuracy of your putting, but I was amazed at how much better my contact with the putter was. I'd stuggled for years with the strike on the ball with my old putting stroke. I was hitting dead center of the putter face with this drill.
Glad you tried it. Thanks for posting your experience. You're the first one to mention you get great contact with it too. Yes, this is another benefit. Try to remember it for the future if you putting isn't sharp.
@@paulwilsongolf That makes me now wonder if the "why" of this move I've found (lucked into) to cause far better contact on long putts is merely a version of this. Would make sense, as I've made no effort to "quantify" it. For my chipping practice, I take my putter to the scattered results and experiment with ways of getting such long distances done via putts back to my chipping area. Had settled on just stroking through a spot a couple of inches in front of the ball on my "target line", but the backswing had to be "inside" the target line - my idea of an "arc" - but no "particular" arc. Initially thought it only worked if it was used with a "wristy" stroke, but eventually found that that *wasn't* the common denominator. And, solid contact nor great distance control were *not* the prime goal, but they quickly became rather amazing "side effects", especially considering what a *horrendous* putter I've always been. Thanks to this tip, further experimentation is most certainly in order. 🙂 Thank you! Now can't get Billy Mayfair out of my mind. . .
Yes, don't over analyze it. Just keep doing it so you become target oriented not stroke oriented. Just remember that you are no wiggling it when you play (you can if you want) but I typically have people do their normal stroke on the course.
the wiggle part helped me, but it also helped me realize that I focus too much on lining up correctly and getting the path right that I just push or pull all my putts. This just helps me pick my line, get up to the ball, and just putt. This will take some time to adjust on the course, but during practice I definitely see and feel a difference.
Paul I found you 3 weeks ago through this video. Yes, your best putting tip sounds crazy. It works though. Thank you!! For everyone over analyzing it. Do it on the course if you make the putt who cares how you do it. Long time high 80s low 90s player. Using your tips im in the low 80s and ready to be in the 70s in 3 weeks time. Im also not sore after playing. Which is huge. Thank you sir!!!
Glad you tried it and saw the power in it. You are so close now. As you keep getting there you will be comfortable and finally jump the hurdle. I talk about this in my first book. I have no doubt you will get there. Great job. Playing pain-free is a great too.
It works!!! It has also brought joy back to my putting as I have always been a "feel" putter trying to fit in to a technical putting world. There have been two rewards to this. Making putts much more frequently and watching the looks on my playing partners faces as my putter dances around before striking the ball. It may not be the right fit for everyone but it has taken so much stress out of my putting. Thank You so much for this tip.
Glad you tried it. In the video I do say to do this before you round a d normal stroke when you play. If you want to wiggle it feel free but unnecessary.
Paul, I often missed (30%) short putts when I concentrated and tried to do everything right, but about 4 years ago I noticed that I always made (100%ish) short putts when I did not care. I would walk up to a four to five foot putt and not even set myself (maybe still walking) and putt the ball into the center of the hole. I realized then that I should try this mentality with long putts too. Unbelievable. It worked except I did set myself briefly and would simply tell myself I don't give a crap if the ball goes in or not. It really freed up my head and stroke. It works. I think it is the same principle that you are talking about in this video.
Very good. This is what I am saying in this tip. You didn't care so you saw the target and hit it to the target. I should have called it the don't give a crap putting tip.
On the just walk up and putt it, remember John Daley, in my memory he was the first and maybe only pro I've seen to essentially just walk up and putt it - short and long putts. Thanks for the tip Paul, I will definitely try this
This is great Paul. I am a retired teacher of Golf for over 16 years, and I would tell my students to stop trying to take the putter straight back and through or ride the arc - mind and muscle kill your swing - even when you putt. Their putting grip pressure went from 5 to 10 trying to be perfect. LOL. I would tell them to loosen the grip to a 3 and then focus on the hole at impact - NOT the ball. Awesome tip! Excellent!
Very good. So glad we are on the same page. Mind boggling what is out there for the swing and putting. This stuff is no hard. Need to know what to do and keep it simple. Looking at the hole is similar. For me, I just like watching the putter hit the ball. Can look at the hole too.
Nice! I used the look at the hole only with long putts and having them feel speed. Love that, too. I retired from teaching Golf and Tennis in November of 2021, and did not want to even see a Golf Club or Racquet until 2 days ago. LOL. My Current YT page does other things, but not a lot of Golf. That said, in my current video (Golf Swing and Putting), I told them to check this video out and will link it so they can see. I hate content theft, so I did not tell them WHY. Will let you know when I post it. @@paulwilsongolf
Looking at the hole is a way to putt too. I just like seeing the club hit the ball. I checked out your channel. Lots of training info there as you say not really golf info. Yes, let me know.
Absolutely brilliant! Works like magic. Your brain takes over and makes this much better than you could ever do consciously. Works also for the actual putt on the round. Thank you!!!
I took this to the practice green today and showed a few guys. They were speachless and could not comprehend how I was sinking these putts. I felt it created a natural flow of the putter head through the ball. Hands were suddenly very soft. Unbelievable 🙆♂️ 👍👍👍
Hey Paul. Great tip! Thank you very much!!! On my first round after I saw you video I got compliments from the guys playing with me because of my putting. Now I have to binge warch you channel.
Paul this is a putting version of David Lee's old proprioception drills! I did this for three straight days and yesterday and today I played in our state's super senior AM tournament and I putted great in tournament conditions on greens that were running over 13. I only 3-putted twice, and anyone who plays in tournaments can tell you it's a totally different deal than playing with your buddies. I think what this does is it makes you instinctively feel the weight of the putter. Pretty amazing.
Interesting. I know Danny Lee quite well. Met him at our course one day. He came over to me and shook my hand and said David said that I was the closest teacher to what he taught. So glad you tried it and saw results. Those were super fast greens so only 3 putting twice is huge. Never thought about it making you feel the weigh of the putter but interesting thought.
Wish I could work out why this works so well - I was totally surprised at the outcome. I used it for the first time today and without a doubt my stroke was suddenly freed up and my putting figures went through the roof. Can't wait to get back on the putting green. Thank you Paul
I did a little mini test of this on a indoor putting mat and a Putt-Out cup, didn’t miss a one and even got it to “stick” in the micro cup. I was laughing to myself after a few minutes. The putter face doesn’t lie!
I tried this last Saturday and it really works. No more 3 or 4 putts. The wiggle putt really helped me especially with my short putt. Thanks for your video. It is the best putting tip ever!
Glad you tried it. Too many people stuck inside the box. Maybe being stuck inside the box is the problem for most people. You tried it and see the power of it. Try to remember it for the future.
Paul. My putting has been letting me down for ages. I actually used this drill playing 18 holes yesterday and had my lowest round in years! Thank you so much.
You nailed this one Paul. Our subconscious minds are way more in control than we imagine. I look at the target, imagine the line, and let it go with no thought of technique. I’m a good, sometimes great putter. No thoughts of stroke, just where I want the ball to go.
This really works. 6 handicapper here. I struggle to make putts. Tried this drill before teeing off yesterday. Introduced it as a bit of a practice stroke after seeing it working. Pace of my putts were much better and stroke felt a lot more natural. I was also able to start each putt online much easier! More putts 6 foot + went in and my confidence grew during the round! Thanks for this video ❤ The madness works 🤯
I tried it today, halfway anyway. I hit maybe 10 or 12 putts this way before my round, from about 25 feet. All stopped within 3 feet and I sank one. That is fantastic putting for me. On the course, I beat my average by seven strokes (85), and my putting was better than ever. I'm going to stick with this. Now, can you give me something like this for my driver?
Very good. Thanks for posting. Need to tell me what your driver is doing. I get results super-fast. Watch me fix this student in minutes: ruclips.net/video/q5RojTx5sHI/видео.html
Dude!! I tried this on my living room floor which is carpeted of course. No pile rather Berber with a glass on the floor as the cup. About 12 feet away….ball in the glass 5 out of 7 putts. If this works on an actual putting green I will confess this is the best putting tip ever. Incredible. Thank you!!
Just tried this at 12ft. I suck at putting. Omg missed the first then made 5 in a row. Just tried telling my wife and she just looked at me like I was a dingbat. Gonna try this one the links on Sunday. Thanks again!!
Wow, it really works. Watched this tip before I went out and played the second day of our member/member after a horrendous first day. Made two birdies and saved a LOT of pars. Really great.
Paul, I worked this today with my new evnroll. It’s a great way to get you to not stress. I usually watch the putter to insure it’s on the right path. This has caused tension and 80% of my putts to be short. This gave me free flow. I did a practice stroke with it then hit my putt. It was a successful transition. I won’t say I made as many as you, but I did like the change in focus. More to follow. I find all you videos insightful and recommend you a lot.
Glad you found this tip and tried it. As I said, you think about your stroke and you will be a terrible putter. Need to be target oriented. Say focused and keep doing this into the future.
If you want to wiggle it out there you can can. I just don't want to look like an idiot wiggling it when you play. The drill gets you target oriented which is all you need to be a great putter.
I don't care what people comment good or bad. I know the results I get with the drill. I have told tons of students about it over about 20 years since I thought of it and I am 100% on them putting great after trying it. Just look at all the hearts below this tip. Those are the comments I got back. I don't say I can do something or show something that doesn't work or hasn't been tested hundreds if not thousands of times. Only been doing this for 33 years.
Glad you tried it and saw results. Just do it anytime in the future if you feel you aren't making anything. Do the drill then your stroke when you play. It's all about being target oriented.
Paul. Didn’t have much time before Teetime today but I tried your tip. Not kidding first practice putt from about 30 ft I wiggled on backswing and the ball went in! Only got about 10 practice putts in but I feel like I hit my line a lot more today than usual. Gonna keep using it. It frees my mind to hit the line with the right pace without worrying about a straight backswing Thanks a lot. Steve fr Ohio
You are Amazing to come up with that. I’Will practice this for sure. I’m 53 years old, golf instructor part time and I’m 5 hdcp. I can’t wait to see results on a real game. Martin Québec City
I went out and I tried this today. I am amazed at how accurate this is. I find out the shorter pets I need to wigle it around much less, but it is still better than trying to control the club head through the backswing in the forward swing. Thank you very much!
Paul, you did a putting tip video awhile back where you showed to take some practice swings while looking at the target to gauge speed. I took that to the course the next day and putted the best I ever had, every long putt ended up within 4 feet of the hole, and even made some birds too! This drill seems awesome and can't wait to try it. Please keep the short game tips coming!
Glad you saw that one. That one is a good one too for sure. Goes hand in hand with this one. Such a good feeling when you aren't giving shots away around the green. Glad you are working on it.
I almost always look at the pin no matter how long the putt, and I putt so much better. It's like your subconscious takes over. BTW, I had no idea Jordan Spieth did this on short putts.
Good tip Paul. Years ago I did the no look at the ball drill after setting up and deciding on my line, and it ended up becoming a regular routine for me. This is right in line with that because focus is on the target. I find that getting hypnotized staring at your ball/putter/line is just too static and rigid, and more often than not on putts of 4' or longer you're offline when you come through.
Yes, there have a been a lot of people who benefitted from looking at t he hole. This would be target oriented too but I think most people don't like doing it. They like to look at the ball and putter. That is where this drill comes in and will help countless people get target oriented too. Up to you which you decide to do.
What a powerful drill, Paul! It is almost unbelievable that such a weird and peculiar piece of advice can bring so much confidence in putting. Without having practised, I decided to try this technique on a practice round and it felt incredible. It helps to feel relaxed in front of the ball, the movement is smooth and hitting the ball feels soft and square every time. I'm sure this drill will help me improve my scores and lower my handicap. Thank you!
Glad you tried it and see the power in it. Just need to think outside the box. Remember to do your normal stroke when you play and remember to do this drill if you feel you aren't making anything.
Yes, I did call it. I've been calling it for about 10 years. Have you not seen his short game. It's terrible. He should easily be #1 in the world but he's not so there is a problem. US open he seemed to be a little better but usually he is terrible. See the Masters?
That would technically be 100% of us considering how it had to have already happened in order for you to reference the occasion…. Unless you’re making that part up
Ok, so this is both the dumbest and yet most BRILLIANT tip EVER!!! I have been struggling with putting/the yips for a year. I just found your site and saw this a few days ago and played twice and they are gone and I am putting great! UNBELIEVABLE! I am now working my way through the rest of your videos. Just incredible. THANK YOU!
Well it's not the dumbest if it works. Just need to think outside the box. Seems like everyone (except me) has a hard time doing that so they teach the same old things that don't work. Remember to do it 25 times before you play.
No doubt. He has to be the worst putter I have ever seen on tour. I did watch him make about a 3.5 footer in the Open. If he could putt like Harmon it wouldn't even be a competition. He would absolutely dominate.
@@paulwilsongolfagree re Rory's putting, he would dominate!! However with a coach like Faxon, you would have thought have thought he would be improving by now!
@paulwilsongolf I think your opinion about the fixation on putting stroke is bang on. When watching the pros I see them with their mirrors and alignment devices instead of letting the brain do things naturally, which is enphasized by your drill.
Thank you for the great tip ! I haven’t made more putts or gotten more putts closer than I did in my last round after watching this video. Priceless wisdom once again 🙏
I guess you missed the black bars with yellow text that came on the screen twice telling you to DO YOUR NORMAL STROKE WHEN YOU PLAY. And people wonder why I repeat myself in my tips.
I tried it for the first time during my round after practicing for 30 minutes. I am sold because I only had one 3 putt when I normally have at least 3 per round. I will continue to practice this method.
Best tip ever? Confirmed. Played 9 holes on course I’ve played for years. Had 11 putts total including a 40 footer on 9 to save par. My best score ever on a course I’ve been playing for 30+ years. It felt unreal. Will be doing this before every round for the rest of my life.
Tried it, this works. Playing golf with my eyes and stroking the ball without any tension. My typical score is 83. Today 78 with no three putts and quite a few tap ins for par. Tried it with an 80’ wedge from a side hill lie. I typically try to land a pitch on a spot and let it roll out. This time I just looked at the hole even though there was a 10’ right to left break. Ball lipped out. This is the real deal.
Took off at least 5-8 strokes with this. It's about relaxing and use your natural swing. Your brain is the best calculator and it sends the message seamlessly to your hands. DO NOT hesitate once you're about to hit because it defeats all this.
Hi Paul, just have to give you an update. Did the wiggle on the practice green, not quite 25 times; then went out on the course. Probably for the first time in my life did nine holes with only thirteen putts, including 5 one-putt greens! Is it a miracle or the wiggle? I think the latter. Thanks so much!
Wow! That's great. So glad you tried it. Please remember it for the future if you find you aren't making any putts. Just do the drill again and you will get it back instantly.
Paul, i just putted 21 balls from 33', 20", 12' and 6'(tight knit carpet on a not so level floor putting to a 4.5" piece of metal) 15 of 21@ 33' & 20', 17 of 21 @ 12' and 19 of 21 @ 6' . The best part of this drill was, no miss was longer than 14" past the hole. Once again, thanks Paul. The best video for me over : Practice Ball Position-Stance-Foot Placement, Neutral Grip & Stop Topping FW's. Thanks again
Apparently by working on my putting stroke I gave myself a good case of the yips (flinching at impact) this drill appears to have made it go away. I'll know more after some upcoming competitive rounds, but during practice rounds its working. Thanks Boss.
Interesting timing of this tip. I had a rough round putting recently due to playing on a course with crazy fast greens. I went to the driving range/putting area at my local course (East Potomac for those who know) to meet with my wife after her lesson to play a quick 9 on the par 3 course and she was talking about the "pause to gather" in the backswing concept. For some reason I thought to try an ever so slight pause with mu back stroke while putting...and all of a sudden I was the master of putting! Moral of the story is I think the pause in my back stroke forced me to send the putter forward towards the target. I kept the pause during my round and am going to try it this weekend, but if that starts to falter, I'll use this wiggle drill to get my mind focused on the target.
Just tried this yesterday with 10 putts..did very well..need to try it more and see full results. What I like about this tip is the amount of pressure/anxiety that has been taken off because now I just wiggle back , putt forward and just continue to play my game. If anything, this strategy has reduced stress levels 10x!!!!
Great to hear! Try to remember it for the future if you aren't making any putts. Just do the drill and you will have it back.

I'm currently a 5 HC. I've been playing golf since I was 5 years old. I quit for about 13 years but, picked it back up approx. 13 years ago. MY game slowly came back but, I have been a very "streaky" putter. I've tried many different things and felt I'd become to mechanical in my approach. I happened to stumble across this video and must say as I watched it I chuckled a bit but the next morning I decided to try it on my practice mat. I was shocked at the result! The next day I tried it on the practice putting green and was again shocked at the great result this crazy wiggle method yielded. I've been doing it for a week now and my putting is much better. I feel much more relaxed over putts. I've always had good speed control and this method really helps me for lack of better terms allow my hands and instinct to putt the ball toward the hole. The results are shockingly good! Give it a try. Good luck!!
So glad you tried it and posted your results. It really is incredible. Just do it 25 times before you play I to the future so you stay target oriented.
Holy cow...this is crazy...and it works. Never seen or heard anything like this before, been playing for almost 40 years. Wish I had seen this back then!
After watching this video; I went to my practice mat in the garage and putted over 150 balls; most from 16 feet. I was so much more consistent in my putts. My % of made putts increased dramatically and my misses were all close misses. This method helped not only with accuracy but also with the overall tempo of my swing. I can't wait to use it on the course.
I will definitely try this technique. I already had a suspicion that this was the key, hearing you suggest this putting practice encourages me to try immediately!
Very good. Keep in mind you do this before the round. When you play you do your normal stroke. Post your results. Those who reply I put a red heart beside them so others can see how powerful this is.
I'm a terrible putter. I tried this. From 12' I attempted 4 putts. The first I missed the cup by a 1/2" , the next two I sunk, the 4th I missed by an inch. It works for me..thanks!
That's great. You see the power in it and you only did it for a few putts. Try to remember to do this in the future if you find you are not making anything.
When is was young I never struggle putting the last year or so I've began to struggle. Practice all the time I've got’n worse. I did this drill 30 times before I played today. Best I've ever putted in my 35 years of playing golf!
Yep. As you got older you started thinking too much. Now I reversed the clock for you. Keep doing it and you will putt great all of the time. Glad you tried it.
Thank you, thank you!! It works unbelievably well. Even if I didn't hole it, it helped lagged really well, usually 3 feet or less left. 30 or 40 feet away still worked great. Thanks again for sharing this tip. LOL, I'm gonna say it....Holly crap, it worked GREAT.
❤. When I saw this video a few days ago, I thought it was some hocus pocus drill. I can’t believe it but there is no harm trying. So I did. Omg. It’s magic. I was sinking several putts today. I don’t know why but it works. If I miss it was just tap in putts. And today I had a great game as I was sinking putts. It’s so crazy but I am grateful. I did exactly how many putts with the wiggle. Cheers.
Paul, thanks again for this. Would you be so kind as to share how you line up with this method for a sideways breaking putt and still be target-oriented? Thank you!
I'm pretty sure that Paul makes money by making these video's. I'm glad he does, they're great. It really works. I just tried it on my carpet. I'm reminded of watching a video of Ben Crenshaw putting from behind at a low angle, he's got a long back swing and it drifts all over. Could he be thinking more of hitting the target than anything else? I bet that's true.
Well yes, you make some money when people watch the videos. Am I going to quit my day job? No. I use the Crenshaw example all of the time. You would think his stroke was perfect. Nope. Hooded and looping. Does anyone think he was thinking of his stroke? Hope not cause he was thinking target which allowed his stroke to work very well for him. Need everyone to think like this.
Thank you Mr. Wilson No joke. it is amazing how i improved my putting as easy as ever since i have been playing for 17 years . thanks for sharing your secret. All my friends not laughing at me anymore.
Very good. Glad you tried it and see the magic. Remember it for the future. Remember. This is a drill. You do it before you play then use your stroke when you play.
Its crazy amazing how good this was. I practice putting alot. I have been on a slump for the past month on putting. So ive been putting in more work and it was not improving. I saw this video and tried it on my pre round putting practice. Its just crazy how much it fixed my putting and more than anything i think it helped me mentally. I have been over thinking my stroke and totally did not realize that it took away from trying to make the putt. I had 7 1putts. Mostly long putts. And the putts i missed were mostly easy tap in putts. Amazing tip. All my flight mates asked for the link to this video.
So glad you tried it. Overthinking your stroke is not good. Think about your stroke and you will be a terrible putter. You have already been a great putter. Now trust it and think target not stroke. If so, you will have it forever. Thanks for sharing it to others. Funny I get people who bash me or are disbelievers. You are further proof it works. Just need to think outside the box.
@paulwilsongolf flightmates were thinking i was crazy when i was telling them about it till i kept sinking super long par save putts or seeing most of my 2nd putts were tap ins, a long birdie putt and even a long engle putt! This is now gonna be part of my pre round routine. Perfect time too thay i saw this. Big tournament at my home course next week. Keep up the great tips!! 🔥💥💯
No joke, I walked off of the course yesterday thinking to myself, "All you should be doing is thinking about hitting at the target." Every shot for that matter. Follow the line, complete backswing, close the face, open the face, etc. All these swing thoughts make me tighten up and misguide the ball. This video for me the confirmation. Just shoot for the target period. Thanks again to Paul Wilson for his expertise and sharing.
It worked for me putting with one hand or two. I used it on the course and it worked very well with the exception when I started thinking about the swing. I also tried it chipping and it was amazing! Thank you Paul for the best tip ever!
Paul, I will be trying this but in addition for the last 12 months I've been looking at the hole, not the ball - for all putts (really successful) and similar to what you have demonstrated, looking at the hole makes you more target focussed. Excellent !
Thank you! From tee to green I'm good. With your tips on driving, I'm driving the ball further than I ever have. Putting has me changing putters just about every round. I even have had an even par round with 36 putts. I usually have 3-4 three putts. So I went out this morning before my round and did your drill. I wiggled like you said(as my friends laughed) and the results were pretty instant. By the 25th practice putt, I started noticing them going in. During the round I made 6 birdies, no three putts and a total of 26 putts, a personal best. I did miss 3 putts within 6 feet, so still a little yippie, but man what a difference! Thank you
@@paulwilsongolf I'm going to keep doing your drill. I admit that I don't play as much as I used to, so my expectations are high for the little work I put into it. :)
Hey Paul, I just want to thank you for that Wiggle putting tip I watched your video. I got up off the couch got 10 ball set my cup down at 10 feet away. Hit 50 balls then use my normal putting stroke may eight out of 10. Thank you so much.
Honestly works this been struggling so bad with new putter started doing this and holing more puts and lag puts finishes so close to hole thanks a lot Paul much appreciated 👍👌
Unbelievable! I generally wiggle my putting stroke, get mad about it and spent the rest of the game making sure that I make a straight back, straight forward path with my swing. Now that I see your tutorial, I can recall sinking putts by unintenionally wiggling my putt. And I say, that was lucky. Tomorrow I will definitively put this in practice and will comment back non my results. Thank nyou Paul, you just opened a big window that was shut down.
Hands down, consistently one of the best golf instructors on RUclips.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.
You are abso😂adorable!!
Not gonna lie, when I first saw this video I told myself there's no way this will work. I was very skeptical and was about to click off the video until I decided to read some of the comments below. When I saw how many people said it helped them, I just had to try it. I've been struggling with my putting for a long time so I figured this couldn't hurt. The next weekend, I went out to the putting green about 30 minutes before my tee time and tried the Wiggle. I made more putts on the practice green than I ever had. Then I went and played a round. Needless to say, I made 3 birdies and 1 eagle that day. All of those putts were at least 15-25-foot putts. Best day putting I've ever had in a long time. Paul, you definitely made me a believer in the Wiggle. This is now my new practice routine before every round. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you tried it and see the power in it. Try to remember it for the future.
I like the imitation of the frustrated golfers! This is great. I stumbled onto something years ago and never realised why it worked so well until this video. I would imagine myself simply attempting to roll the ball in the hole similar to lawn bowling and then take the put, the improvement was the quickest and longest lasting change I'd ever had. It still works a charm, and thanks to you I realised its because I am not thinking thru the shot but simply making the shot. My method is different but I think essentially the same. Thanks!! I also applied a similar principle to my Irons, I basically imagine I'm chopping into a tree with an axe, this also had great results, even though I thought I would be slicing the ball a lot I didn't. Just had a simple, relatable, image in my head instead of a bunch of confused instructions!! Thanks again.
Paul I am a former professional. I watched your video went to the practice green, this is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I've used and worked hard on aim point. Your results were unbelievable!!!! I've been playing since I was 4 I have never seen anything like this in 52 years of playing!! Well done huge fan now. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much. So glad you tired it. Works like magic. Just remember to do it anytime you feel you aren't making any. Thanks for the support.
Dear Paul, It's really insane ... I have practiced it at my putting green equipment, the length is about 2.8 meter and he result has never been consistent like this. Thanks a lot, Paul, for this craziest putting tips that has never been since.
I will practice at my golf club this Saturday and I am sure my golf mates will be surprised of the result, which will be sure I will make total putting of less than 36 uit in total ...
Thanks again Paul for this incredible tips ...
I will give a comment further after I practice it on Saturday this week ...
So glad you tried it. Yes, let us know once you get to try it outside.
I tried this technique today…putted the best I have in a long time. Somehow my speed was great. When I missed long putts, they were left within inches of the hole. I almost holed out a 30 footer. I felt like I could make every putt I took today. Thanks so much for this video.
Great job! Glad you tried it.
@@paulwilsongolf
😊😅😮😂😢🎉
Can't wait to try it tomorrow. I know it's going to work. 😊
Outstanding... didn't believe it..grabbed 5 different putters and went to the mat...boom,boom,boom with all 5 putters..thanks for your time...
Glad you tried it and see how great it works. Good job.
I have to give props and say this this title of “best tip ever” is no clickbait exaggeration. I have been putting like a new man the last 2 weeks since watching this video and doing the wiggle drill before each round. Completely freed up my stroke for both short and long putts. Even started making 20 footers much more frequently. Focusing on the target and not stroke mechanics is truly a game-changer. Kudos, Paul!
Glad you tried it. So glad you are doing well. Just warm up this way before you play.
Listen as a new golfer who has played basketball for 35 years, all I can say is YES!!! IM NOT CRAZY.... when I first started putting I didn't worry about anything other than the cup. (Aka the target) I was sinking 10 footers like free throws. Then, as I played more and started watching other people and listening to guys give me tips putting became the hardest part of the game. For me putting is so much easier when I take the jump shooter mentality. Focus on the target and simply follow through.
Exactly. Give this a try too and then you will be back. Target is the key for sure.
I 100% agree! I just picked up golf 3 years ago. I raced motocross and played college football growing up so I’m pretty well coordinated. When I started golfing I was burying putts! 10-20-30footers! My boss couldn’t believe it on a company outing, sunk a 35footer in front of the outing host in a putting contest. Now 3 years later my putting has greatly declined. After watching your video this makes way to much sense. When I started I was focusing on target and referencing my ball out of the corner of my eye. Now I stare at the ball and not the cup! I’m leaving for a 3 day outing in about ten minutes and cannot wait to try this out!!! I’ll report back here when I return home!
Yes, glad you found this. Give it a try and you will see the power of it. You explained it perfectly what has happened to your putting. Need to be target oriented.
@@paulwilsongolf 100% true. My putting is back on the incline. I sank at least 35% of my putts and was on target with everything. I even almost buried a 35-40foot putt and I never even looked at the ball on that one at all! Thanks for the tip!
Very good. Keep at it.
I rarely leave comments on videos however I tried this and I had to have my say! I am a 5 handicap. I played 2 consecutive rounds with 4-5 3 putts per round. I was beyond frustrated . I found this video and thought " why not try it , It cannot hurt my terrible putting . I did this drill for 20 mins before my round , I honestly didnt notice anything on the practice green that would indicate what happened on the course. On the course , I putt Lights out ! I swear ! I made a 15 footer for birdie on the 1st, then decided to wiggle as a practice stroke the rest of the round and IT WORKS ! thank you Paul
Very good. So glad you tried it and are seeing how powerful this is. Just do it before you play.
I have always felt like my putter was all over the place when I was concentrating on the perfect stroke, which left me being a terrible putter, not to mention frustrated. Yesterday, I was on the course, playing alone, so I thought I would give your tip a try. All I can say is, I was laughing, and talking to myself at how incredible it worked. I was putting the ball close to the cup, or in, on every putt, at one point sinking three 10 to 15 foot putts in a row. This literally is not just the best putting tip I have ever gotten, but the best golfing tip I have ever gotten. Thank you so much.
"Yesterday, I was on the course, playing alone, so I thought I would give your tip a try. All I can say is, I was laughing, and talking to myself at how incredible it worked." This just goes to show that if you ever see a crazy person on a golf course, think twice. They probably look crazy muttering to themselves, laughing uncontrollably, etc. but they're probably perfectly sane but just tried out a Paul Wilson golf tip.
Just do this before you play. When you play do your normal stroke so you don't look crazy. Glad you tried it and see how powerful it is.
Thank-you so much for this putting tip/miracle!!!!
I immediately went out used your putting in League play. I seen a definite improvement in target focus. I then played in a scramble on the weekend & putted LIGHTS OUT!!! I made 3 long putts totaling over 80 feet. Two of the 3 putts were for EAGLE and each putt was 25 feet or more. (No Pressure 😂). I was freer & more target focused. I really never gave any thought to how far any of the putts were. Our final score was 12 under for the day! This was a CHAMPIONS TOURNAMENT for all the golf leagues that play at the golf course during the golf season. I have played golf for over 40 years & this was my best day of putting!! Thank-you Paul!!!
Wow! That's great. Perfect timing to do it in a tournament. Try to remember it for the future. If you feel you aren't making anything just do the drill.
You are The Best coach Ever!! I have Loved your teaching since the first video I watched! This video, I must say that I was skeptical- BUT you said it would work so I believed you and I tried it and By Golly you are Absolutely Right! (Of course you are). I played 2 days in a row with 90% 2 putts AND an occasional 1 putt! I Made my husband watch your video and he tried it and he said “I’m a convert “. I had been struggling with my putting lately- but no more! Thank You, Paul! No one teaches like you do ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you tried this and saw results. That kind of putting is really going to help get those scores down. So glad you told your husband and it worked for him too. I just think outside the box.
I tried this yesterday when i have been putting horrendously and I no joke made every single putt. I was just flabbergasted. Thank you so much.
That's great. So glad you tried it and see the power in it. Try to remember it for the future. Just do this before you play then normal stroke when you play.
Again thank you so much!!@@paulwilsongolf
So you had a round with 18 putts?
So you only took 18 putts?
Paul Wilson!!! Yes you are the man!! This drill is the best. I used it today for the first time
and only had 25 putts. The only thing I would add is people need to remember to move the putter with their shoulders and not the hands.
Glad you tried it and did well. Just remember to be target oriented into the future.
Wow what a tip, this has been by far the best golf tip ever. I have made more puts after working on you tip then I have ever made, along with a few birdies.
Thanks for the time you spend helping us arm swingers.
Stephen Crawford
Glad you tried it and glad it helped. Keep remembering it for the future.
I'm a father of 4, married, quite succesfull in life.
Just repicked Golf after over a 20 years break.
My personality is quite modest but i have to confess that my dream would be crossing the ocean and have a 3 days school in Vegas with you as coach!
Thank you Mr. Wilson!
From Bodyswing, Chipping, to Putting!
Thank you for sharing people a life filled with enjoyable Golf!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support. Be great to meet and work with you. Just let me know if you can make it in the future. Keep up the good work. Glad you got back into playing. Fun times ahead.
I tried this today. Also explained it to my playing partner and he tried it even though he didn’t see the video. We were both amazed at how close we were lagging our putts.. Definitely going to practice this on a regular basis. Thanks for your videos!!
Very good. So glad you both tried it. Remember it for the future if your putting isn't sharp.
This makes sense. Shooting a basketball you’re focusing on the rim not on your shot. Your tips are simple and hands down the most effective teacher online or in person. Your full swing tip of starting the downswing with your lower body has dropped my handicap from 20 to a 7 all while being the worst putter on the course. I’m convinced I can get to a scratch with even an average putter. Thank you!
Exactly. Same idea. Glad you like my teaching. I appreciate the support. Simple is the key for sure. Wow! That's a huge drop. You have to be so excited having so much more fun out there. Great job. Well, you are certainly on your way to scratch. Getting to a 4 is easily doable. Getting to par is a lot harder. Need precise positioning and a great short game. Good goal to have though. Keep at it.
What a great drill. Not only does this help with the accuracy of your putting, but I was amazed at how much better my contact with the putter was. I'd stuggled for years with the strike on the ball with my old putting stroke. I was hitting dead center of the putter face with this drill.
Glad you tried it. Thanks for posting your experience. You're the first one to mention you get great contact with it too. Yes, this is another benefit. Try to remember it for the future if you putting isn't sharp.
@@paulwilsongolf That makes me now wonder if the "why" of this move I've found (lucked into) to cause far better contact on long putts is merely a version of this. Would make sense, as I've made no effort to "quantify" it. For my chipping practice, I take my putter to the scattered results and experiment with ways of getting such long distances done via putts back to my chipping area. Had settled on just stroking through a spot a couple of inches in front of the ball on my "target line", but the backswing had to be "inside" the target line - my idea of an "arc" - but no "particular" arc. Initially thought it only worked if it was used with a "wristy" stroke, but eventually found that that *wasn't* the common denominator. And, solid contact nor great distance control were *not* the prime goal, but they quickly became rather amazing "side effects", especially considering what a *horrendous* putter I've always been. Thanks to this tip, further experimentation is most certainly in order. 🙂 Thank you! Now can't get Billy Mayfair out of my mind. . .
Yes, don't over analyze it. Just keep doing it so you become target oriented not stroke oriented. Just remember that you are no wiggling it when you play (you can if you want) but I typically have people do their normal stroke on the course.
the wiggle part helped me, but it also helped me realize that I focus too much on lining up correctly and getting the path right that I just push or pull all my putts. This just helps me pick my line, get up to the ball, and just putt. This will take some time to adjust on the course, but during practice I definitely see and feel a difference.
Very good. So glad you tried it and see the power of it. Keep it simple.
Paul I found you 3 weeks ago through this video. Yes, your best putting tip sounds crazy. It works though. Thank you!! For everyone over analyzing it. Do it on the course if you make the putt who cares how you do it. Long time high 80s low 90s player. Using your tips im in the low 80s and ready to be in the 70s in 3 weeks time. Im also not sore after playing. Which is huge. Thank you sir!!!
Glad you tried it and saw the power in it. You are so close now. As you keep getting there you will be comfortable and finally jump the hurdle. I talk about this in my first book. I have no doubt you will get there. Great job. Playing pain-free is a great too.
this works so good would there be any negatives of doing it on the course beside it not looking conventional.
It works!!! It has also brought joy back to my putting as I have always been a "feel" putter trying to fit in to a technical putting world. There have been two rewards to this. Making putts much more frequently and watching the looks on my playing partners faces as my putter dances around before striking the ball. It may not be the right fit for everyone but it has taken so much stress out of my putting. Thank You so much for this tip.
Glad you tried it. In the video I do say to do this before you round a d normal stroke when you play. If you want to wiggle it feel free but unnecessary.
Paul, I often missed (30%) short putts when I concentrated and tried to do everything right, but about 4 years ago I noticed that I always made (100%ish) short putts when I did not care. I would walk up to a four to five foot putt and not even set myself (maybe still walking) and putt the ball into the center of the hole. I realized then that I should try this mentality with long putts too. Unbelievable. It worked except I did set myself briefly and would simply tell myself I don't give a crap if the ball goes in or not. It really freed up my head and stroke. It works. I think it is the same principle that you are talking about in this video.
Very good. This is what I am saying in this tip. You didn't care so you saw the target and hit it to the target. I should have called it the don't give a crap putting tip.
@@paulwilsongolf Copyright that title. It sounds good. Thanks for the reply.
@@paulwilsongolf😂 that would have got a million views with that title 😂
@@paulwilsongolf how about the phukitputt?
On the just walk up and putt it, remember John Daley, in my memory he was the first and maybe only pro I've seen to essentially just walk up and putt it - short and long putts. Thanks for the tip Paul, I will definitely try this
Thanks!
Thank you for the support. I truly appreciate it.
This is great Paul. I am a retired teacher of Golf for over 16 years, and I would tell my students to stop trying to take the putter straight back and through or ride the arc - mind and muscle kill your swing - even when you putt. Their putting grip pressure went from 5 to 10 trying to be perfect. LOL. I would tell them to loosen the grip to a 3 and then focus on the hole at impact - NOT the ball. Awesome tip! Excellent!
Very good. So glad we are on the same page. Mind boggling what is out there for the swing and putting. This stuff is no hard. Need to know what to do and keep it simple. Looking at the hole is similar. For me, I just like watching the putter hit the ball. Can look at the hole too.
I do this and it works phenomenally, light grip, relax and few natural swings while focusing on the target and then put without hesitation.
Nice! I used the look at the hole only with long putts and having them feel speed. Love that, too. I retired from teaching Golf and Tennis in November of 2021, and did not want to even see a Golf Club or Racquet until 2 days ago. LOL. My Current YT page does other things, but not a lot of Golf. That said, in my current video (Golf Swing and Putting), I told them to check this video out and will link it so they can see. I hate content theft, so I did not tell them WHY. Will let you know when I post it. @@paulwilsongolf
Looking at the hole is a way to putt too. I just like seeing the club hit the ball. I checked out your channel. Lots of training info there as you say not really golf info. Yes, let me know.
Absolutely brilliant! Works like magic. Your brain takes over and makes this much better than you could ever do consciously. Works also for the actual putt on the round. Thank you!!!
Glad you tried it and saw how well it works. Just do it before you play and you will be great.
I took this to the practice green today and showed a few guys. They were speachless and could not comprehend how I was sinking these putts. I felt it created a natural flow of the putter head through the ball. Hands were suddenly very soft. Unbelievable 🙆♂️ 👍👍👍
Glad you tried it and saw some great putting. Remember it for the future.
Hey Paul.
Great tip! Thank you very much!!! On my first round after I saw you video I got compliments from the guys playing with me because of my putting.
Now I have to binge warch you channel.
Now that's a great feeling when others mention it. Keep at it.
Paul this is a putting version of David Lee's old proprioception drills! I did this for three straight days and yesterday and today I played in our state's super senior AM tournament and I putted great in tournament conditions on greens that were running over 13. I only 3-putted twice, and anyone who plays in tournaments can tell you it's a totally different deal than playing with your buddies. I think what this does is it makes you instinctively feel the weight of the putter. Pretty amazing.
Interesting. I know Danny Lee quite well. Met him at our course one day. He came over to me and shook my hand and said David said that I was the closest teacher to what he taught. So glad you tried it and saw results. Those were super fast greens so only 3 putting twice is huge. Never thought about it making you feel the weigh of the putter but interesting thought.
Thanks
Thank you so much for the contribution. I truly appreciate it.
This really works. Thank you for sharing this, Paul. Every beginner should be shown this technique.
Glad you tried it and saw that it works. Remember it for the future.
Wish I could work out why this works so well - I was totally surprised at the outcome. I used it for the first time today and without a doubt my stroke was suddenly freed up and my putting figures went through the roof. Can't wait to get back on the putting green. Thank you Paul
Gets you target oriented which the is only key to great putting. Do it 25 times before you play. You can even do it in practice strokes when you play.
I did a little mini test of this on a indoor putting mat and a Putt-Out cup, didn’t miss a one and even got it to “stick” in the micro cup. I was laughing to myself after a few minutes. The putter face doesn’t lie!
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw how amazing it is. Keep at it.
I tried this last Saturday and it really works. No more 3 or 4 putts. The wiggle putt really helped me especially with my short putt. Thanks for your video. It is the best putting tip ever!
So glad you tried it and got results. Try to remember it for the future.
@@paulwilsongolfdo I putt normally on the course?? Without the wiggle?
I'm still in shock, I tried this feeling at the course, and went in from everywhere. Ridiculously easy
Glad you tried it. Too many people stuck inside the box. Maybe being stuck inside the box is the problem for most people. You tried it and see the power of it. Try to remember it for the future.
Paul. My putting has been letting me down for ages. I actually used this drill playing 18 holes yesterday and had my lowest round in years! Thank you so much.
Very good. So glad you tried it and were successful. Keep at it.
You nailed this one Paul. Our subconscious minds are way more in control than we imagine. I look at the target, imagine the line, and let it go with no thought of technique. I’m a good, sometimes great putter. No thoughts of stroke, just where I want the ball to go.
Very good. Exactly what I said. I am seeing other commenters saying the same thing. This is the key to great putting.
You’re Mr Paul “birdie man” Wilson I’m just me I’m not sure it will work but I’ll try 😂
You've got this. You'll see.
This really works. 6 handicapper here. I struggle to make putts. Tried this drill before teeing off yesterday. Introduced it as a bit of a practice stroke after seeing it working. Pace of my putts were much better and stroke felt a lot more natural. I was also able to start each putt online much easier! More putts 6 foot + went in and my confidence grew during the round! Thanks for this video ❤ The madness works 🤯
Very good. So glad you tried it.
I tried it today, halfway anyway. I hit maybe 10 or 12 putts this way before my round, from about 25 feet. All stopped within 3 feet and I sank one. That is fantastic putting for me. On the course, I beat my average by seven strokes (85), and my putting was better than ever. I'm going to stick with this. Now, can you give me something like this for my driver?
Very good. Thanks for posting. Need to tell me what your driver is doing. I get results super-fast. Watch me fix this student in minutes:

Dude!! I tried this on my living room floor which is carpeted of course. No pile rather Berber with a glass on the floor as the cup. About 12 feet away….ball in the glass 5 out of 7 putts. If this works on an actual putting green I will confess this is the best putting tip ever. Incredible. Thank you!!
Glad you tried it and saw results. Just do it before you play then do your stroke when you play.
Just tried this at 12ft. I suck at putting. Omg missed the first then made 5 in a row. Just tried telling my wife and she just looked at me like I was a dingbat. Gonna try this one the links on Sunday. Thanks again!!
Nice one. Glad you tried it and you saw the power of it. Let me know how you do on the course.
Will do. This is crazy. I’m rarely missing, thank you! 🤯
Wow, it really works. Watched this tip before I went out and played the second day of our member/member after a horrendous first day. Made two birdies and saved a LOT of pars. Really great.
It sure does. I wouldn't say it if it didn't. Try to remember it for the future if you find you aren't making anything.
Paul, I worked this today with my new evnroll. It’s a great way to get you to not stress. I usually watch the putter to insure it’s on the right path. This has caused tension and 80% of my putts to be short. This gave me free flow. I did a practice stroke with it then hit my putt. It was a successful transition. I won’t say I made as many as you, but I did like the change in focus. More to follow. I find all you videos insightful and recommend you a lot.
Glad you found this tip and tried it. As I said, you think about your stroke and you will be a terrible putter. Need to be target oriented. Say focused and keep doing this into the future.
Paul, why does the video have a typed scroll telling you to yluse your normal stroke when you go to play?
If you want to wiggle it out there you can can. I just don't want to look like an idiot wiggling it when you play. The drill gets you target oriented which is all you need to be a great putter.
@@pderbs1so people don't go out and suck more then comeback and comment.. he wants you to practice before hitting the course
I don't care what people comment good or bad. I know the results I get with the drill. I have told tons of students about it over about 20 years since I thought of it and I am 100% on them putting great after trying it. Just look at all the hearts below this tip. Those are the comments I got back. I don't say I can do something or show something that doesn't work or hasn't been tested hundreds if not thousands of times. Only been doing this for 33 years.
What a great tip. Tried it yesterday. Wow - it works.! Thank you. Can’t wait to play again tomorrow.
Glad you tried it and saw results. Just do it anytime in the future if you feel you aren't making anything. Do the drill then your stroke when you play. It's all about being target oriented.
Paul. Didn’t have much time before Teetime today but I tried your tip. Not kidding first practice putt from about 30 ft I wiggled on backswing and the ball went in! Only got about 10 practice putts in but I feel like I hit my line a lot more today than usual. Gonna keep using it. It frees my mind to hit the line with the right pace without worrying about a straight backswing Thanks a lot. Steve fr Ohio
Very good. Glad you tried it. Keep at it.
You are Amazing to come up with that. I’Will practice this for sure. I’m 53 years old, golf instructor part time and I’m 5 hdcp. I can’t wait to see results on a real game.
Martin Québec City
I went out and I tried this today. I am amazed at how accurate this is. I find out the shorter pets I need to wigle it around much less, but it is still better than trying to control the club head through the backswing in the forward swing. Thank you very much!
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw results. Keep remembering it for the future.
Hi Paul, thank you very much for your putting tip. It’s working unbelievably well. Haven’t putted this good EVER!!! BIG THUMBS UP.
Thanks for trying it and posting your experience. Try to remember it for the future.
Paul, you did a putting tip video awhile back where you showed to take some practice swings while looking at the target to gauge speed. I took that to the course the next day and putted the best I ever had, every long putt ended up within 4 feet of the hole, and even made some birds too! This drill seems awesome and can't wait to try it. Please keep the short game tips coming!
Glad you saw that one. That one is a good one too for sure. Goes hand in hand with this one. Such a good feeling when you aren't giving shots away around the green. Glad you are working on it.
I almost always look at the pin no matter how long the putt, and I putt so much better. It's like your subconscious takes over. BTW, I had no idea Jordan Spieth did this on short putts.
He does that. Doesn't seem to be working as good for him lately.
I started doing this on course when I watched this last year and it does work very well.
Good tip Paul. Years ago I did the no look at the ball drill after setting up and deciding on my line, and it ended up becoming a regular routine for me. This is right in line with that because focus is on the target. I find that getting hypnotized staring at your ball/putter/line is just too static and rigid, and more often than not on putts of 4' or longer you're offline when you come through.
Yes, there have a been a lot of people who benefitted from looking at t he hole. This would be target oriented too but I think most people don't like doing it. They like to look at the ball and putter. That is where this drill comes in and will help countless people get target oriented too. Up to you which you decide to do.
What a powerful drill, Paul! It is almost unbelievable that such a weird and peculiar piece of advice can bring so much confidence in putting. Without having practised, I decided to try this technique on a practice round and it felt incredible. It helps to feel relaxed in front of the ball, the movement is smooth and hitting the ball feels soft and square every time. I'm sure this drill will help me improve my scores and lower my handicap. Thank you!
Glad you tried it and see the power in it. Just need to think outside the box. Remember to do your normal stroke when you play and remember to do this drill if you feel you aren't making anything.
Who’s seeing this after Rory’s missed putts at the US Open?
Yep, him and Scheffler. Be interesting to see how this affects him mentally. Those were tough greens though. He was obviously overthinking it.
No way he called out Rory 10 months ago on putting😂
Yes, I did call it. I've been calling it for about 10 years. Have you not seen his short game. It's terrible. He should easily be #1 in the world but he's not so there is a problem. US open he seemed to be a little better but usually he is terrible. See the Masters?
I didn't look at when this video came out till after I heard him call out Rory 🤣🤣 I was like o sh*t did he just drop this video
That would technically be 100% of us considering how it had to have already happened in order for you to reference the occasion…. Unless you’re making that part up
Ok, so this is both the dumbest and yet most BRILLIANT tip EVER!!! I have been struggling with putting/the yips for a year. I just found your site and saw this a few days ago and played twice and they are gone and I am putting great! UNBELIEVABLE! I am now working my way through the rest of your videos. Just incredible. THANK YOU!
Well it's not the dumbest if it works. Just need to think outside the box. Seems like everyone (except me) has a hard time doing that so they teach the same old things that don't work. Remember to do it 25 times before you play.
@@paulwilsongolf It’s truly amazing ! I have been doing it for practice every day. I love outside the box! THANK YOU!
"Someone tell Rory!" 😂😂 good one
No doubt. He has to be the worst putter I have ever seen on tour. I did watch him make about a 3.5 footer in the Open. If he could putt like Harmon it wouldn't even be a competition. He would absolutely dominate.
@@paulwilsongolfit’s the same with Scheffler Mr Wilson. Drive for show putt for dough I suppose.
Totally blanked on Scheffler. Yes, he needs to watch it too. He is even worse than Rory.
@@paulwilsongolfagree re Rory's putting, he would dominate!! However with a coach like Faxon, you would have thought have thought he would be improving by now!
@paulwilsongolf I think your opinion about the fixation on putting stroke is bang on. When watching the pros I see them with their mirrors and alignment devices instead of letting the brain do things naturally, which is enphasized by your drill.
Dude, I’ve been playing golf for 40 + years and that’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Crazy GOOD!
Glad you tried it. Works like magic. Just got to think outside the box. Seems people have a hard time doing that.
Thank you for the great tip ! I haven’t made more putts or gotten more putts closer than I did in my last round after watching this video. Priceless wisdom once again 🙏
Great job! Glad you tried it. Priceless for sure.
have or haven't?
I have been putting so bad and saw this tip. Seriously I haven't putted better in a long time. This works for me, especially on the shorter putts.😊
So glad you tried it and were successful. Remember it for the future.
So after practicing 25 wiggle putts are you doing the same on the first green?
I guess you missed the black bars with yellow text that came on the screen twice telling you to DO YOUR NORMAL STROKE WHEN YOU PLAY. And people wonder why I repeat myself in my tips.
I tried it for the first time during my round after practicing for 30 minutes. I am sold because I only had one 3 putt when I normally have at least 3 per round. I will continue to practice this method.
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw results. Remember to do it 25 times before you play into the future.
Best tip ever? Confirmed. Played 9 holes on course I’ve played for years. Had 11 putts total including a 40 footer on 9 to save par. My best score ever on a course I’ve been playing for 30+ years. It felt unreal. Will be doing this before every round for the rest of my life.
Glad you agree. I don't say it if it isn't true. Nice round. Exciting times ahead.
Congratulations on your low round.Curious, what did you shoot.
Tried it, this works.
Playing golf with my eyes and stroking the ball without any tension. My typical score is 83. Today 78 with no three putts and quite a few tap ins for par. Tried it with an 80’ wedge from a side hill lie. I typically try to land a pitch on a spot and let it roll out. This time I just looked at the hole even though there was a 10’ right to left break. Ball lipped out.
This is the real deal.
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw how great it works. Try to remember it for the future.
Took off at least 5-8 strokes with this. It's about relaxing and use your natural swing. Your brain is the best calculator and it sends the message seamlessly to your hands. DO NOT hesitate once you're about to hit because it defeats all this.
Very good. Glad you tried it and see how powerful it is. I have been saying your brain will figure it out for years. Too many people overthinking it.
Thank you so much Paul. Your are such a great coach with a great personality !!!!
I appreciate that! Thanks for the support.
Hi Paul, just have to give you an update. Did the wiggle on the practice green, not quite 25 times; then went out on the course. Probably for the first time in my life did nine holes with only thirteen putts, including 5 one-putt greens! Is it a miracle or the wiggle? I think the latter. Thanks so much!
Wow! That's great. So glad you tried it. Please remember it for the future if you find you aren't making any putts. Just do the drill again and you will get it back instantly.
Paul, i just putted 21 balls from 33', 20", 12' and 6'(tight knit carpet on a not so level floor putting to a 4.5" piece of metal) 15 of 21@ 33' & 20', 17 of 21 @ 12' and 19 of 21 @ 6' . The best part of this drill was, no miss was longer than 14" past the hole. Once again, thanks Paul. The best video for me over : Practice Ball Position-Stance-Foot Placement, Neutral Grip & Stop Topping FW's. Thanks again
Very good. Glad you tried it. Keep at it.
Best tip ever! Thanks Paul. I have made all the other mistakes for 50 years! I am so excited to take this out on the course.
7:54
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Let me know how you do.
Apparently by working on my putting stroke I gave myself a good case of the yips (flinching at impact) this drill appears to have made it go away. I'll know more after some upcoming competitive rounds, but during practice rounds its working. Thanks Boss.
Very good. Yips are you trying g to hit the ball. Now you are thinking target. Keep at it and they will be gone forever.
Interesting timing of this tip. I had a rough round putting recently due to playing on a course with crazy fast greens. I went to the driving range/putting area at my local course (East Potomac for those who know) to meet with my wife after her lesson to play a quick 9 on the par 3 course and she was talking about the "pause to gather" in the backswing concept. For some reason I thought to try an ever so slight pause with mu back stroke while putting...and all of a sudden I was the master of putting! Moral of the story is I think the pause in my back stroke forced me to send the putter forward towards the target. I kept the pause during my round and am going to try it this weekend, but if that starts to falter, I'll use this wiggle drill to get my mind focused on the target.
Glad you are trying to figure it out. Yes, give this a try too. You are on your way.
Just tried this yesterday with 10 putts..did very well..need to try it more and see full results. What I like about this tip is the amount of pressure/anxiety that has been taken off because now I just wiggle back , putt forward and just continue to play my game. If anything, this strategy has reduced stress levels 10x!!!!
I'm at a loss. Can't define it. Don't care. I love the drill. Completely target oriented. It works. I'm adding it to my no look drill.❤
Very good. Let us know how you do.
This works! Both my son and I tried this and it made a big difference. Thanks for the excellent tip!
Great to hear! Try to remember it for the future if you aren't making any putts. Just do the drill and you will have it back.
I'm currently a 5 HC. I've been playing golf since I was 5 years old. I quit for about 13 years but, picked it back up approx. 13 years ago. MY game slowly came back but, I have been a very "streaky" putter. I've tried many different things and felt I'd become to mechanical in my approach. I happened to stumble across this video and must say as I watched it I chuckled a bit but the next morning I decided to try it on my practice mat. I was shocked at the result! The next day I tried it on the practice putting green and was again shocked at the great result this crazy wiggle method yielded. I've been doing it for a week now and my putting is much better. I feel much more relaxed over putts. I've always had good speed control and this method really helps me for lack of better terms allow my hands and instinct to putt the ball toward the hole. The results are shockingly good! Give it a try. Good luck!!
So glad you tried it and posted your results. It really is incredible. Just do it 25 times before you play I to the future so you stay target oriented.
Holy cow...this is crazy...and it works. Never seen or heard anything like this before, been playing for almost 40 years. Wish I had seen this back then!
Glad you tried it. Try to remember it for the future. If you aren't making any just do this drill again.
Thanks!
Thank you for contributing. I truly appreciate the support.
Thanks Paul, used this technique today. Made 15 and 25ft putts to start my round 2 under. Made a couple of tens and had 4 lip outs. I’m sold on this .
Very good. Just as I said. Try to remember it for the future. If you aren't sinking anything just do the drill.
After watching this video; I went to my practice mat in the garage and putted over 150 balls; most from 16 feet. I was so much more consistent in my putts. My % of made putts increased dramatically and my misses were all close misses. This method helped not only with accuracy but also with the overall tempo of my swing. I can't wait to use it on the course.
Great job! So glad you tried it and saw results. Keep at it.
I will definitely try this technique. I already had a suspicion that this was the key, hearing you suggest this putting practice encourages me to try immediately!
Very good. Keep in mind you do this before the round. When you play you do your normal stroke. Post your results. Those who reply I put a red heart beside them so others can see how powerful this is.
I'm a terrible putter. I tried this. From 12' I attempted 4 putts. The first I missed the cup by a 1/2" , the next two I sunk, the 4th I missed by an inch. It works for me..thanks!
That's great. You see the power in it and you only did it for a few putts. Try to remember to do this in the future if you find you are not making anything.
When is was young I never struggle putting the last year or so I've began to struggle. Practice all the time I've got’n worse. I did this drill 30 times before I played today. Best I've ever putted in my 35 years of playing golf!
Yep. As you got older you started thinking too much. Now I reversed the clock for you. Keep doing it and you will putt great all of the time. Glad you tried it.
Thank you, thank you!! It works unbelievably well. Even if I didn't hole it, it helped lagged really well, usually 3 feet or less left. 30 or 40 feet away still worked great. Thanks again for sharing this tip. LOL, I'm gonna say it....Holly crap, it worked GREAT.
Just tried this on my DJ putting mat. Hit 6 straight puts from 8 foot into the small half sized hole!!!! Can’t wait to try it on the course
Very good. You see the power in it. For sure try it on the course. Let us know how you do.
❤. When I saw this video a few days ago, I thought it was some hocus pocus drill. I can’t believe it but there is no harm trying. So I did. Omg. It’s magic. I was sinking several putts today. I don’t know why but it works. If I miss it was just tap in putts. And today I had a great game as I was sinking putts. It’s so crazy but I am grateful. I did exactly how many putts with the wiggle. Cheers.
Glad you tried it. Try to remeber to donit before you play.
Paul, thanks again for this. Would you be so kind as to share how you line up with this method for a sideways breaking putt and still be target-oriented? Thank you!
Just like you normally do. Your target is the breaking point. So do the same thing and putt to the breaking point not the hole.
I have implemented it as part of my game. It works. Thank you Paul.
Glad you tried it. Do it 25 times before you play then your real stroke when you play.
It's unbelievable how well it works! Thank you Paul for spending your time and money helping us.
Great to hear! Just trying to make people better. I am doing what I can.
I'm pretty sure that Paul makes money by making these video's. I'm glad he does, they're great. It really works. I just tried it on my carpet.
I'm reminded of watching a video of Ben Crenshaw putting from behind at a low angle, he's got a long back swing and it drifts all over. Could he be thinking more of hitting the target than anything else? I bet that's true.
Well yes, you make some money when people watch the videos. Am I going to quit my day job? No. I use the Crenshaw example all of the time. You would think his stroke was perfect. Nope. Hooded and looping. Does anyone think he was thinking of his stroke? Hope not cause he was thinking target which allowed his stroke to work very well for him. Need everyone to think like this.
Paul - just tried this drill and it worked wonder! Thank you so much Paul
That's great. So glad you tried it. Try to remember it for the future when you feel you aren't making any putts.
Paul, you were right, i don't know how but I have played 4 rounds and putts were going in like never before.
thank you
Rick Pederson
Glad you tried it and saw the power of it. Try to remember it for the future if you feel you aren't making any.
Good sir. I love your videos and your straightforward approach!!!
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
Thank you Mr. Wilson
No joke. it is amazing how i improved my putting as easy as ever since i have been playing for 17 years . thanks for sharing your secret. All my friends not laughing at me anymore.
Glad you tried it and saw results. Try to remember it for the future.
Yep! Tried it today and it works! After months of putting woes...I will be giving this a month and see what happens....🙏
Very good. Glad you tried it and see the magic. Remember it for the future. Remember. This is a drill. You do it before you play then use your stroke when you play.
Its crazy amazing how good this was. I practice putting alot. I have been on a slump for the past month on putting. So ive been putting in more work and it was not improving. I saw this video and tried it on my pre round putting practice. Its just crazy how much it fixed my putting and more than anything i think it helped me mentally. I have been over thinking my stroke and totally did not realize that it took away from trying to make the putt. I had 7 1putts. Mostly long putts. And the putts i missed were mostly easy tap in putts. Amazing tip. All my flight mates asked for the link to this video.
So glad you tried it. Overthinking your stroke is not good. Think about your stroke and you will be a terrible putter. You have already been a great putter. Now trust it and think target not stroke. If so, you will have it forever. Thanks for sharing it to others. Funny I get people who bash me or are disbelievers. You are further proof it works. Just need to think outside the box.
@paulwilsongolf flightmates were thinking i was crazy when i was telling them about it till i kept sinking super long par save putts or seeing most of my 2nd putts were tap ins, a long birdie putt and even a long engle putt! This is now gonna be part of my pre round routine. Perfect time too thay i saw this. Big tournament at my home course next week. Keep up the great tips!! 🔥💥💯
Great feeling when you are making them from all over. Good luck in your tourney.
This tip helps so much. I am amputee, and balance is an issue. The movement actually helps when in unbalanced areas. Thank you so much
Glad you tried it. Interesting take on it. Never thought of that. Thanks.
Definitely, one of the best putting videos I've ever tried. I'm missing by much less thanks to this video
Glad you tried it and see how powerful it is. Just do it before your round then real stroke when you play.
No joke, I walked off of the course yesterday thinking to myself, "All you should be doing is thinking about hitting at the target." Every shot for that matter. Follow the line, complete backswing, close the face, open the face, etc. All these swing thoughts make me tighten up and misguide the ball. This video for me the confirmation. Just shoot for the target period. Thanks again to Paul Wilson for his expertise and sharing.
For sure. Target is everything. Glad you understand it and tried it. Keep remembering this tip for the future if you putting isn't sharp.
It worked for me putting with one hand or two. I used it on the course and it worked very well with the
exception when I started thinking about the swing. I also tried it chipping and it was amazing! Thank you Paul for the best tip ever!
Glad you tried it. Remember it for the future.
Paul, I will be trying this but in addition for the last 12 months I've been looking at the hole, not the ball - for all putts (really successful) and similar to what you have demonstrated, looking at the hole makes you more target focussed. Excellent !
Try mine before you play. It may help yours when you are on the course.
Thank you! From tee to green I'm good. With your tips on driving, I'm driving the ball further than I ever have. Putting has me changing putters just about every round. I even have had an even par round with 36 putts. I usually have 3-4 three putts. So I went out this morning before my round and did your drill. I wiggled like you said(as my friends laughed) and the results were pretty instant. By the 25th practice putt, I started noticing them going in. During the round I made 6 birdies, no three putts and a total of 26 putts, a personal best. I did miss 3 putts within 6 feet, so still a little yippie, but man what a difference! Thank you
do you need to aim the ball or just look at the target and hit it ?
Wow! You did great. I probably don't need to tell you to do this drill for a while then remember it in the future if you lose it.
How do you normally putt? You do that but you do this drill first. You hit your ball at the breaking point if it breaks.
@@paulwilsongolf I'm going to keep doing your drill. I admit that I don't play as much as I used to, so my expectations are high for the little work I put into it. :)
Maybe do this every time you play. That will keep you target oriented.
Hey Paul, I just want to thank you for that Wiggle putting tip I watched your video. I got up off the couch got 10 ball set my cup down at 10 feet away. Hit 50 balls then use my normal putting stroke may eight out of 10. Thank you so much.
Great job! So glad you tried it. Remember it for the future.
Honestly works this been struggling so bad with new putter started doing this and holing more puts and lag puts finishes so close to hole thanks a lot Paul much appreciated 👍👌
Songlad you tried it. It got you target oriented which is the key. Just do this 25 time before you play on the future.
Unbelievable! I generally wiggle my putting stroke, get mad about it and spent the rest of the game making sure that I make a straight back, straight forward path with my swing. Now that I see your tutorial, I can recall sinking putts by unintenionally wiggling my putt. And I say, that was lucky. Tomorrow I will definitively put this in practice and will comment back non my results. Thank nyou Paul, you just opened a big window that was shut down.
Very good. This tip clarifies it for you. Become target oriented.
