If you're wondering how to hit your irons pure, I have a simple drill for you. Literally, within 10 minutes of doing this drill you'll be striking your irons more solidly and consistently than ever.
Please visit the link below and I will send you free samples from my Body Swing book and video series: bodyswing.com/...
So many people struggle when hitting irons which is costing them a ton of shots. This drill is not about hitting down on the ball. It is not about forward shaft lean through impact. It's not about changing your grip or anything else. You may have tired those things in the past and they don't work because they have you hitting the ball with your arms.
If you want to hit your irons pure you need to stop doing all of those things. This best drill for irons and it's totally different to anything you have ever tried in the past.
The next time you're at the range give this a try. I need you to tee up your ball. Take out a mid iron and hit a whole bucket of balls doing this drill. Then adjust as I explain in the tip as you get better at it.
Correction: 6:48
Here I said squeeze against the ground. Should be squeeze against the clubface.

• HOW TO HIT YOUR IRONS ...
One of the best drills I've experienced. I purchased your Body Swing series a couple months back and have seen major improvement. Forgetting the strong grip and transitioning to a neutral grip was probably the hardest habit to break at 58 years old, however, I'm seeing more consistency with my shots. Still working on the loose wrist and hitting my irons pure. Thanks for all your help!
Thanks for the support. Glad you are starting to get it. Glad you are doing the neutral grip now. This is a game changer for sure but it does take work. Stay focused and try to perfect each lesson. Just do this daily at home. This is one of the biggest issues people have. They don't do swings daily.
@@paulwilsongolf very nice drill! Thank you
Paul I have a question. Does this work on driver and three woods also?
Some people have tried it and were successful. Give it a try too.
So do this drill choked down on the club and this will translate to full swing normal grip on the course ? Is it just a feel drill to get you in sync with your irons ?
Paul - last month I shot a 63 in my weekly 9-hole league. I could not hit my irons AT ALL. I was embarrassed and ready to quit. I watched this video, and went to the driving range. I tried your choke up, hinge technique and hit EVERY SINGLE ball in the bucket solid and straight! Today I shot a 41 in my league, including inches fro a hole in one. This is ALL from watching your videos! Thank you so much for completely changing my game! For anyone reading this - watch Paul's videos, the ONLY training that works! Thank you so much Paul!
Wow, that's great. So glad you tried it and saw results. This loosens up the wrists which is a huge key. Stay focused and you can always go back to this drill if you are just not quite hitting it great one day. Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

I've never responded to anything on RUclips. I'm 56 years old and have hit a ton of balls in my life and tried most every tip. This tip has helped me more than anything I've ever tried. It has made golf fun again. Thank you!
That's great. Sometimes it just takes that one thing. Seems you found it.
That’s awesome!
I agree...unfortunately I saw this video at the end of last season so I was only able to do this a couple times, but what unbelievable results!!! I can't wait to do this now that the new golf season is just beginning again up here in NY!
I'm 42 just getting in to golf well bout a year now Paul Wilson you have helped out tremendously on my irons and grip and swing techniques thank you!👍👍💯
I watched this and went golfing on vacation the next day. I went from double bogey golf to putting for birdie on 4-5 holes per 9 holes. Amazing! Thank you!!
I seriously think you’re one of the very few pros in the world who actually understand and are able to teach how to hit a golf ball. So many pros are obsessed with body angles and positions, they forget all about what the club head is supposed to do at impact. Thank you!!! Soft wrists and hands are absolute key. I think so many pros and good golfers have no idea why they’re able to hit a golf ball. But for those of us who aren’t naturals, your advice is the missing link of golf instruction!
Thanks for seeing how I go about teaching. Years ago I used to make it complicated. This got me nowhere. They day I made it simple I got my swing back after 10 years or trying everything. They can keep doing what they do and I will keep doing what I do. Seems like a lot of people like the simple approach.
The single greatest golf video I’ve ever seen. Absolutely game changing.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
I lost my swing about 5 years ago, shanking, blocking, slicing......you name it. Stumbled across your site a couple weeks back. Practiced your tips in my garage for 5 minutes a day for a few days, went out and hit my irons pure! No more unmentionables and no longer embarrassed to play with others. You’ve made golf fun again. Look forward to thanking you in person next time I play Bear’s Best. Thanks Paul.
Welcome aboard! So glad you are getting it. Those shots are easy to fix. People get freaked out when they see them. Just a few changes. Glad you are getting the hinging and rehinging with this drill. Also, stand taller with shorter clubs. That will help you stop shanking it. Keep at it. Fun times ahead for you.
This is the first time I've ever heard of this drill, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I've watched 100's of videos by very good teachers, bought a Divot board and the whole "nine yards" as they say. I haven't played golf for over 3 years. I'm 67 and a 5 handicap at 35. I went out in the back yard to take some soft swings with a a lob wedge and was either hitting thin or fat. I hate the feeling of those pitches! I know what I'm doing, but couldn't stop doing it! Frankly it made me angry. I will try this with a short club and choke way down and hit "a bucket of balls" off of a very low TEE! Thanks friend.
This is genuinely the best tip i have ever seen in golf. Straight away i was hitting flush balls. Thank you paul.
So glad you liked it. This tip has literally helped countless people. It loosens the wrists which is a huge key. Keep at it then gradually grip back up.
Are you kidding me?! After 50 years of playing Golf on and off I found this gem of golf instruction and it cured my thin irons with this drill with 20 range balls. After I understood the importants of just doing nothing with the arms and wrists I hit the best 5 iron of my whole life! Super effortless, dead straight with a great contact. But it only works when you do one thing. And this thing is DO NOTHING! LET IT HAPPEN AND IT WILL BE PERFECT. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. This is the key. Too many people out there just whacking away as hard as they can. This tightens the wrists and can get you manipulating the face. Just need to let it go. This loosens the wrists so you get way more clubhead speed with no effort. This clubhead speed is for life because you don't have to be strong to be loose. Plus, if you aren't hitting you allow the forces to act on the mass almost eliminating any face twisting. Might want to watch this one too. It's an old one but still relevant:
ruclips.net/video/dw8mMH7Cr4Q/видео.html
This is the best instructional video for hitting irons I have seen yet. I keep coming back to it anytime I return to hitting my irons squirrelly. Thanks so much for the content!
Yes this is a really good drill. Glad you keep coming back to it. Maybe start each practice session hitting a few like this then you are always doing it.
I didn't even finish the video and went and tried a couple of your tips and already my swing feels much better. I'm only using plastic golf balls at home but the contact feels a lot better. Still not getting weight shift the way I know I should but one thing at a time. This simple grip way down and the wrist action has really made the swing feel good.
Great to hear! This is a great drill that gets your wrists unlocked.
"This is new and different and you're not good at it!" - This is exactly what I need to hear! Always learning as a golfer.
Exactly. Got to do something different. Keep doing your old swing when do you take it to a new level? Especially if you've been doing that swing for 20 years.
Paul Wilson Golf - i went to the range and hit a bucket of balls. Your “string around the axis” analogy helped me hit my clubs better than ever before - even my 5W, 3W and driver! The idea of choking down helped me loosen up my wrists and imagining the face 2 feet ahead of the ball with straight arms, stretched out, helped me hit straighter, more consistent shots. It’s going to take lots more practice, but the seed is planted and I can’t wait to get back out and run those drills again. Thank you!
Very good. Keep at it.
@@paulwilsongolf hey bub Hogan said you gotta Digg the ball outta the dirt with those bladed irons.
Played two days ago and on the back nine suddenly couldn't hit anything. Slicing, fat, short, just bad golf. I got up early this morning and before leaving to pick up my golf partners I needed a quick tip. Came to Paul and watched this lesson. Went to the course and choked up on all my clubs and after a few holes I was suddenly hitting the ball long and straight. I hit a three hybrid 225 and I'm 66 years old. Took a little adjusting on the front because of how far I was hitting the ball and on the back shot 38. Paul is by far the best coach on the internet. He has quick, concise lessons that will immediately improve your game and make it fun again. Thanks Paul.
That's great. It tells you that you were tightening up your wrists out there due to hitting with arms. The drill unlocked them. Just keep hinging and rehinging the always keep them loose. Thanks for the support.
Man, you just don't know how lucky I am to have found your videos. You're a lifesaver. You make more sense to me and practical compared to God knows how many other videos I've watched to little or No help at all.
Great to hear! Simple is the key. You need to understand it so you will actually try it. Once you do and hit some good ones hopefully you will keep doing it. Stay focused and try to not work on too many things at once.
I have a simulator, and I am a former club professional. This is a great drill. It reminds me of the Jim Flick swing of a lifetime series. Look it up. Great stuff. Jim believes the best way to hit the ball, is with your wrist, arms, and hands. This is a great drill. You can also do it with your feet together that will teach you how to swing freely from the socket of your shoulders using your arms, wrists, and hands.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Jim Flick was great. The arm unit it vital but you also need to connect it to your body. This drill has literally helped thousands of people unlock their wrists.
5:35 - At the range I did one swing strictly hinge/rehinge with very little lower body action, just to see what would happen. The ball went about 83% of my normal distance with a little pull fade. Absolutely amazing. For those people who top it, fat it, don't make contact, or can't get it down the fairway, this one change would immediately lower their handicap by 10 strokes, maybe more!
Like I said, it will go almost as far if not farther. You did that with minimal body. If you use your body you will be just as far. Nice. Everyone need to try it for sure.
I'm a believer. You have unlocked the myth about hitting down on the ball which is achieved by hinging and re- hinging. Your instruction is very insightful. Bravo!
Very good. Yes, never hit down. That is worst thing you could do.
This is absolutely one of the best tips I've ever seen ( 9 handicap ). Once you become comfortable with it ( which doesn't take long ) you will be amazed!! It also transferred to the course for me and made an immediate impact . 2 birdies ( because of my iron shots ) , shot an 80. I now incorporate this into my practice....I hit my wedge, 9, 8, 7, 6 irons twice through with this drill before I start my 'normal' routine. Great drill!!
Glad you like it. It does work great for sure. I like you incorporating it into practice. This will be a constant reminder to loosen the wrists.
Well never have I ever left a comment on a RUclips video, but...... this deserves it. 10 handicap and have totally lost my swing in the past month. Toping irons, missing greens by a wide margin, etc.. Watched this video this morning in bed and went straight to the range, and boom, I’m back! Liked it so much I’m currently playing a quick 9 solo. Ball 1 is even par thru 5 and ball 2 is +1. Thanks!
That's great news. Not fun when you lose it. This drill is telling you that you are tightening up so it unlocked your wrists. Make sure you keep remembering this into the future so it doesn't happen again.
I went to the range today to check this out, and never hit a more pure shot...and you're right about almost achieving the same distance. I hit solid, straight shots, that went about 10yds short of normal. Thank you Paul, I will definitely be using this drill more often to improve ball striking, and tempo.
Glad you tried it. This tip has literally helped thousands of people. It gets the wrists unlocked. Keep doing this and as you get better slowly grip back up. We all get tight. If you have this in your back pocket then you can get back on track asap.
Okay, I’ve been all over the internet trying to figure out why I can’t hit my long irons anymore. I’ve watch every major instructor and nothing came close to helping. After watching this video, the very first ball I hit I felt the difference and it only got better from there. THANK YOU!
Glad you found me. That is a great drill that has literally helped thousands of golfers. You need to watch this too: ruclips.net/video/kCSoZGENOYg/видео.html
Thanks for this drill Paul. I have applied this tip to my practice routine and have lowered my handicap from 12 to 6 in the past 2 months. Consistently hitting my irons flush has always been an issue for me. No more! Keep up the good work.
That's great. Simple drill which does wonders for your swing. You are proof. Let's get you down to a 2 hdcp.
Amazing effort I,m hoping too get under a 100 within the month
For real?
You are probably the best instructor on the web, I’m 72 spent 22 days in the ICU with Covid last summer trying to get back in golf I golfed 3 holes than 4 and so on it was a difficult recovery and lost all my distance but I discovered you now I’m back hitting my driver 240 yards average. I was so lost and frustrated, I just want to thank you for making golf fun again
Glad you recovered. Scary stuff. Glad you are getting your swing back too. Keep up the good work.
This lesson alone made me break 80 for the first time. God bless u sir !!!
Great job! Just needed to unlock your wrists. Keep at it.
I did the one bucket challenge and was hitting all my clubs better afterward. I incorporate this into my warmup drill all the time. Thanks!
Very good. Glad you did it for a bucket. Most people quit doing something after balls so they never give themselves enough time to see if something works. Keep at it.
Paul- I did what you asked. It works! I wish I had seen this video before I spent $500 on hybrids! But it works for hybrids too! Nice pure contact, swoosh sound at impact, and ball flies like it’s shot out of a cannon! Thanks so much!!
That's great. So glad you tried it. It is really helping a lot of people. Get those wrists loosened up and it's a whole new game. Keep at it.
Hi Paul,
Can I just say a big thank you. I don't think I have ever seen nor received such simple and effective golf advice as from you.
As a single figure handicapper for over 35 years my golf has recently become tired and jaded due to a loss in confidence, shanking and generally not hitting the ball as before to the point that mu love of golf has been leaving me.
Through your tutorials, so simple and effective, my love of this wonderful game is back.
You really are a genius. For anyone reading this, watch Paul's tips on shanking and how to stop pushing the ball out to the right- ie the 6 inch marker before the ball.. The man s a golf wizard. The best of the lot.
Well, I have been thinking "fast and easy" for 31 years now. So I keep everything simple so you understand it and try it. Then you get fast results. If so, you will keep doing it. Glad I could get you back. Not fun when you are having trouble. Just seems like you can never get out of it. Well, now you're back. Keep up the good work.
After watching a bunch of Paul’s videos, I’ve come to the conclusion that most if not all of swing problems have to do with “trying” to hit the ball. When you try to hit the ball, you are using your arms, and that leads to widely inconsistent shots. The most helpful swing thought for me is the “hinge-unhinge”. This forces you to use your body and leads to an effortless swing. Thanks Paul
You got it. This is so true. Now who wants to hit with arms? Almost everyone. This is why almost everyone needs help with their swing. Pros don't hit solely with the arms. Pros learned as kids when they had minimal arm strength. See it now? Hinge - rehinge is a huge part of it. You get that working then connected to coil - uncoil. Simple.
I have been playing golf for over 15 yrs and watched 100s of golf videos . No golf video has impacted my performance like this one.
Cocking ones wrist is so critical to pure hits - Thank you PAUL - you are gr8!
Glad you found me. Glad you are doing well.
Wow!!! This is the first video that has actually worked for m. And with almost no effort. I'm a 12 handicap and I can see cutting it in half with this drill. Iron's are the worst part of my game. I just played a par 3 and had 5 pars and 1 birdie. I even hit the pin once. I've never been able to hit my irons straight and consistent but this seems to have done the trick. Thank you very much!
Very good. Sometimes it just takes that one thing to get your game to a whole new level. This is a great one for getting the wrist hinge which is a vital part of power and consistency. Keep at it.
No offense but how can u be a 12 hc without being able to even hit irons. Something is wrong here
@@realdanielpeach you can still score without being a good ball striker
Tried this today. It definitely works, especially with my long irons! Just started playing a month ago and felt like this is the best advice I've gotten
Glad you tried it. Great drill that gets your wrists loosened up.
Paul, I think you are one of the best RUclips coaches. A sincere thank you very much for improving my game, and giving me the tools to self diagnose and correct my swing. Best regards, Will 👍
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support. Keep at it.
I concur with you Will....this man is good
Not one of the best...purely the best... simple strait facts in his videos.
Hey Paul, I’ve done all those things you said at the beginning, never works, I went to driving range this morning, tried your method and only shanked three balls, your method works and I’ll continue to work on this and will be watching your video’s.
Very good. Glad you are seeing results. Just keep this stuff simple. You need to watch my shank video here:
ruclips.net/video/m9kj0548rYw/видео.html
Keep at it and you will be hitting it great in no time.
I watched Paul’s video last night and went to the driving range this morning. I was absolutely amazed at how effortless my swing was and how far and high the ball went. I had never heard the importance of loose wrists in golf before. Thank you so much, Paul! I’m working my way through the rest of your videos now.
Amazing! I love hearing it.
My playing buddy told me that gripping down on his clubs made better iron shots.....he didn't explain why and I didn't really think it would work. He solved his problem without ever watching one of your videos and I was shocked to hear you mention gripping down on the golf club would help with iron shots. I will be practicing this drill and I already know it will work, because every one of your lessons have been proven to work. Thanks again.
That's great. So you already know what to do. Definitely give it a try. A lot of people are having great success with this drill.
Paul. I tried this drill today, and all I can say is thank you, it is genius. Amazing contact with every club effortlessly. I will make it my job to recommend you to all the guys at the course.
Fantastic! Great drill that is helping a lot of people. Glad you got it too.
I'm my 30 years of part time golfing no one has ever told me anything that helped my swing until now. Loosening my wrist has helped my swing tremendously! Thanks!
Very good. Glad you finally help you. Too many people are teaching to hit that ball. In no way would I ever tell you to do that. Your wrists are a hinge. A hinge hinges and rehinges. A hinge is loose. The harder you hit, the tighter the hinge. Then connect it to your body coiling and uncoiling.
Brilliant lesson everything is explained in simple terms. I was having trouble hitting my irons after listening to Paul explain this I went to the practice range and after about 6 shots the strike was pure and straight. I haven't hit the ball as well with so little effort.
Thanks so much. Simple is the key for sure. So glad you are seeing results. Great feeling and it tells you that you are on track. It is about the looseness not about how strong you are or how hard you hit.
Just from lowering your grip?
Former 4-handicapper, been playing for 30 years. Like a lot of us, once marriage, a job, and kids entered the picture, I played a lot less. About 5-7 years ago, I started shanking my irons - the only "correction" I came up with was to set up inside the ball a full clubhead. As I'm in the process of getting fitted for new clubs, I wanted to see if I could fix my issue - to the interwebs I went! Like Paul said, 1 bucket of balls. In fact, it took about 3 swings. I hit an entire bucket with the club set up behind the ball, like a normal person - zero shanks, great contact! This video, coupled with the "stop shanking in 5 minutes" and "wrist hinge drill" videos - literal game changer. Literally, in 5 minutes. Paul, you are the real deal and a gift to the golf instruction universe. Cheers.
I know your scenario well and like teaching people like you. So easy because you have used the body before. You too the break then when you got back into it human nature told you to use your arms to hit the ball. Turn them off and get the body moving and you will get it back in no time. I have fixed countless people in your shoes over the years. Glad you found my shank fix tip. I think you have the info to get it back. Keep at it.
@@paulwilsongolf 3 back surgeries in my downtime didn't help anything either! Your help made for a very enjoyable 90 minutes of striping 6 irons and hybrids at my fitting yesterday! Can't wait to watch more of your tutorials and implement the advice into my game.
Very good. Great feeling when you know you are on track. Keep it simple.
Paul Wilson is the man. Every tip seems to be perfect. Always well explained, always simple. Total stud
Glad you liked them. Thanks so much. Simple is the key for sure.
I can't wait to go practice this drill! THANK YOU!
You're so welcome!
Tried this drill and only hit a half bucket of balls because I could see how it was making a difference. Went out on 2 course I normally shoot 86+ on. Fired an 81 and a 79. Felt so confident with the irons. Thanks so much!
Wow! Nice rounds. Glad you tried it. Loosens you up. Keep at it.
3:11 - That is so good. I'm just now formulating in my mind, that we are swinging the club between hinged at the top, and unhinged 2 feet past the ball. There is no point in between that should get special attention. Whatever lies along that path, between those 2 points, is on a collision course with the club-face. It really is a different way of thinking about the golf swing!
Very good. I keep saying I am not hitting anything.
@@paulwilsongolf I like that. I'm going to repeat that over and over at the range this weekend, "I'm not hitting anything!"
That's it. You've got it right there! It's nice when you have those golf epiphanies isn't it? I love that.
Light bulb moment. I have had many myself.
K iou
Wow I never respond but I had to say this. I saw your video this morning right before I played a round with a buddy. We hit the range for a big bucket before our 18 and man…. I did what you said. Strictly hit the whole bucket using my irons and it was almost immediately better. I have never hit my irons so good in my life! I dropped my handicap by 9!! In a day!! That’s insane thank you! Now I need to work on my putting 😂
Wow, that's great. Gotta like when you get results. Such a simple drill that unlocks your wrists. I would warm up with it this drill for a while into the future. If so, you will keep remembering the feeling for when you play. Great job.
I never do this but had to come back to this vid and say thank you! Been struggling for months with irons and after practicing this for a couple days I’m striking my irons pure af. Just working on the consistent accuracy now!
Glad it helped! Thanks. This is a good one. It really loosens up the wrists.
Honestly Paul I haven’t ever watched a tip that’s helped my golf game this much, I’m 23 and I’ve struggled since I was a kid to hit my irons getting lessons and watching tons of RUclips videos but once I started to see your videos it made sense and it gave me Results! I’m still trying to perfect it
Glad you found me and glad you liked this tip. It has literally helped thousands of people. This drill gets you to unlock your wrists. See the wrists as a hinge. They hinge ... they rehinge. They are loose. Everyone want to hit so this locks the wrists.
I would suggest watching my other tips to get a full understanding or what I teach how simple I make it. Simple is the key. Make this complicated and you will never get it.
@@paulwilsongolf I’m from Denmark, would you be willing to watch a video of my swing?
Well, if I do it for you I have to do it for everyone. Post it on RUclips and if I get time I will take a quick look.
Haha, everyone is heading to the range tomorrow...including me :-) Can't wait to try.....thanks!
Have fun!
I've been playing golf since 1972. Since that time, I've subscribed to all of the golf magazines, read dozens of instructional books, purchased many instructional DVDs - you know how we golfers can be. Anyway, I've seen Paul explain two or three concepts that I've never before seen any other instructor share. This particular upload is great. And if you've not viewed Paul's upload titled, "Powerful, Effortless, Pain-Free Golf Swing (Explained)", do it - it's a MUST SEE! These two videos WILL change your game...IF you will stick with the instruction.
Paul has been teaching for many years, and he's doing some of his very best work, today.
(Thanks for helping me, Paul. God bless you, sir.)
So glad you liked it. Thanks for expressing it to others. I have been doing this since 1991 so everything I teach is tested on tens of thousands of people. Just have to follow what I am saying. It's pretty simple too.
Great tip. I do this when warming up before a round. It gets my wrists working ready for a game. My handicap 7. Great vid. Cheers.
Good stuff. This is a constant reminder of the feeling.
I went to the range and tried this. Amazing results! This drill increased flight path and distance almost immediately.
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw results. Great drill. As you get used to it grip back up.
Thanks Paul. Watched this video after four horrific rounds in a row, irons being the main issue. Thought it couldn't possibly be this simple. It was! Good to be back!
Very good. All of this stuff is simple. Just go to see it. Keep watching my other tips for even more help.
Wow, what a great drill. I hit 75 balls the other night, just like you recommended. Went out and played 18 holes, fantastic. Hit my irons more pure and longer. Thanks Paul!!!
Very good. I love hearing it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Sir. I was at the point of total frustration .
Glad it helped. Now you know you can do it. Get the wrists loosened up and you will be having fun again.
POW!! I stumbled into the sport about 4 weeks ago. Truly enjoying learning and wanted something beyond my own experimentation and learning process. This was the first video I found and watched last night. Tried it this afternoon and am totally hooked on the sport and Paul now. Hit 82 balls working down through my irons 9 to 2 and it was amazing. 98% spot on. An absolute delight to hit straight and pure
time after time for two hours regardless of club. Thanks - looking forward to watching all the other videos, quitting my day job and striving for the senior tour! Cheers!
Glad you found me. I keep it super simple which is what you are going to need if you want to get it. Too much confusion out there. Here is where to start:

Thanks Paul. Watched this video about 6 weeks ago. It has been a game changer for me. Ball goes straighter and further. Have dropped 2 strokes on my handicap. I even use it with my driver. Most importantly I now play golf with a lot more confidence and enjoyment.
Yes, this is a great drill that is helping tons of people. It loosens the wrists which is what I teach. Glad your handicap is dropping. Great feeling when you are heading in the right direction. Keep up the good work.
Brooke Henderson does it and Anthony Kim did it. Tommy Fleetwood chokes down 1" on his driver and is pretty good.
For sure. You can certainly do that if you like. Moe Norman did it too.
I watched your video this week and decided to try it out because I’ve been struggling to hit my irons and now I hit my irons so straight and so consistently! Thank you so much for this amazing advice about opening my wrists. It works perfectly and now I hit them farther and straighter. I just hit an 88 yesterday which is my second best round ever. Thanks for the great advice!
Glad you found me and tried it. This is a great drill. You are on your way. Keep watching more of my tips so you get the whole picture.
@@paulwilsongolfthanks again! Will do
Thanks for sharing Paul.... just played best two rounds this weekend after watching this. Hit several shots I was literally laughing after applying this technique. Good stuff. like most of your nuggest are. Tip of the hat. And I have to say - I kinda like this new persona in method you are presenting - very refreshing. Keep em coming. And again - huge thanks.
Very good. I love hearing it. Who would have thought doing the opposite of what everyone tells you to do was going to work .... hmmm ... oh yeah ... I did. Just got to loosen everyone up.
I've played golf 3 times a week for 40 years and going to play tomorrow. looking forward to choking up as my baseball coach yelled at me from first base when I was 9.
Has anyone tried this out wit 3 wood or driver if so did it work have not tried it yet just curious
I'm a 4 handicapper. I have been struggling with my iron for months. for the past 5 days I have been try this and it works.. I played yesterday and omg I hit so well
Very good. Not fun when you are struggling. Stay focused and grip back up once you are ready.
Thank you so much this video took me from the yips / shanks to puring my irons just like you said! I'm now choked half way down the grip and just may stay there I'm getting a ton of distance and accuracy. Only miss is a bomb hook and I'll take that any day of the week! Thank you Paul!!
Very good. It's great when you see progress instead of frustration. For the hook make sure you grip isn't too strong.
Most definitely won’t cure the shanks but great advice
Why would it cure shanks? That's what this tip is for:

Read the comments. I have fixed hundreds.
I cannot believe that this actually worked. I’ve only used it once but it was the best I’ve hit my irons in years. And they were going just as far as my normal swing. I can’t wait to try it again today.
Glad you found this one and it has helped you. Keep at it. Once you get used to it start to grip back up.
You explain things so nicely and simple. Great Video!
Thanks so much!
I am in the category of the “exact same thing”. I did your “one bucket challenge”. You were right. I started off topping balls. After half a bucket, I was able to compress the ball. Not every shot, but I could do it. With some extra focus, I could also do it using the full length of the club. And yes, I did need to weaken my grip.
It is a completely different feel. I needed to relax my wrists, my hands, arms, shoulders, and trust my body to swing the club. Last, I needed to focus on posture as I tend to stand up in my swing. It was an amazing experience. I plan on repeating this challenge at the range from now on as my new warmup routine.
Thank you very much. Because of you, golf is fun again.
Glad you tried it and keep at it until you got it. It's a great feeling when you know you are on your way and can actually hit amazing shots. Keep at it until you memorize the feeling so you can apply it on the course.
@@paulwilsongolf For me, the hardest thing is overcoming the fear of hitting behind the ball. The compensations I've developed over time are a little bit of a chicken wing and raising my body a bit. These helped me to avoid the embarrassment and frustration of hitting behind the ball. Now, I will now start to overcome these ingrained habits and work on feeling more comfortable in letting my arms extend and swing the club with my new body swing. I plan to take it one step at a time as you advise in your videos. The big test will be taking it to the course and mentally staying with it. I will try this once I've gone through enough buckets. Thank you.
UK calling here Paul. I've taken to relaxing much more in my swing - dead arms. Results have been spectacular.
That's great. I love hearing it.
The best lesson ever. My friends envy the crispy sound of my iron shots after his lesson of gripping down.
Glad you found this tip and worked on it. It really is incredible. Once you get it start to grip back up.
Your video's rock. You have helped my game a great deal. Im sad i found your content this fall. Seeing that winter is right around the corner. But i wanted to thank you for your teaching style it works if you really listen and take it in small chunks and honestly work on them. Im excited about spring. Cheers my friend.
Thanks. Not sure why everyone thinks they have to hang up the clubs. Doing practice swings at home is the best way to work on your swing. No ball means no distraction of you trying to hit it. If there is no distraction you can make the changes over the winter then play great golf next season as opposed to not practicing then working on it next season when you should be playing great golf. I have literally taught this for years. It's just getting everyone to do it. Just take out a 7 iron and having sitting there. Do daily practice swings doing some of the stuff in my tips and it will be mastered by next season.
Hey Paul I’m a 60 year old male with plenty of power still , that was some drill with choking up 2 1/2 inches. I haven’t gotten a chance to go try it on the course but I hit 10 balls after work today I teed the balls up like you said after making some adjustments with ball position in my stance. I roped eight draws in a row and I’m a slicer of my irons you’re right it works. Thank you.
Yes, this is an amazing drill. It has literally helped thousands of people. It unlocks the wrists because you change the balance point on the club. Do this for a while but remember it's a drill. Grip back up once you are hitting it better.
You are awesome Paul! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Agree with previous post, senior golfer, loosing distance, this one tip, has helped me the most, of any video, flushing it
Thanks from Canada !
Very good. Glad you liked it. It loosens your wrists which is huge power source in the swing.
Brilliant! I'm heading to the range 😁
Good luck!
Hey Paul, just wanted to come on here and say, I had really been struggling with my irons lately. I watched probably 50 of your videos in a couple day span. My next round was my best ever. I shot a 78, and I just wanted to say thanks. Loose arms , correct hinge, effortless swing
Nice one! So glad you found me and tried it. Now you see it works stay focused and stay loose!!!
Great video! A gift to the game!
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I just came across this and tried it today on the range. I was frankly surprised at how well this helped my ball contact. I will continue to employ this drill and am now going to subscribe to the channel and see if other videos have drills that are as easy to understand and implement.
Yes, this is a great drill that has helped thousands of people. It unlocks the wrists by changing the balance point on the club. Keep at it. Thanks for the sub. Tons of tips to watch.
Paul... this tip so interesting! I cannot wait to try this out on the range tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
Very welcome. It works great. Just keep at it.
I choked up for the first time and did Paul's bucket challenge today. I almost immediately started making good solid contact and feeling what compression should feel like. I have only been playing for a couple months but Paul explains things in a way that clicks for me. I have been doing the chicken wing, but Paul has helped clear it up and I am making much better contact now...
Very good. So glad you tried it. This tip has literally helped thousands of people. It unlocks the wrists. Keep at it.
Thanks Paul for this great content. I took some lessons from a high priced pro, taught me a lot, but then applying that with this has been huge. I've always been able to pop drives out there straight but the second shot has plagued me and my fun. This is giving me a lot of hope.
Sometimes you just need a few things or hear things a different way to latch onto it or fix a thing you've been trying to fix. Glad this one filled in the piece you were missing. A lot of people have benefitting from this drill. Glad you did too.
Paul. I've been playing since I was 2 years old... low single digit handicap for 20+ years... and this is singularly THE BEST drill I've found to improve my impact and get my swing back in rhythm. Thank you!
Thanks so much. So glad you found this one. It has helped countless people and it's simple. Within a few balls you start feeling it. Keep up the good work.
You, sir have helped me hit the best balls of my life. Thank you! Can’t wait to come to Vegas it get a lesson in person.
Any time!
Thanks Paul. I warmed up yesterday with a 9-iron gripped down and practiced hingeing the wrists. with a nice slow tempo. Been pulling my irons for a long time but I kept that drill in mind. Had a great round afterwards,. Just had to give you more good feedback..
Very good. This is a great drill that has literally helped thousands of people. Get you to loosen the wrists. Glad you tried it and have the feeling. Keep at it.
Wow!! Thanks a lot Paul, that's an excellent lesson. I've tried some swings and You can really feel the hinge more when you shorten the club. Looking forward to hit some range balls with this awesome drill. Keep up the great work... I'll be sharing this with others👍
Glad you like this one. It's really helping people get the hinge as you see. Thanks for spreading the word. One day we will get everyone to stop trying to hit it with their arms.
You are the first person that I received the golf lesson by RUclips. Thank you for all those years teaching us with out any interruption for 15 years. I really appreciate it.
Glad to help. Tons of people out there need help. Thanks for the support.
Paul thank you for the easy to understand videos and explanations, I've watched about and I've finally found where I was making my errors and why I haven't been able to make progress. I've only been been playing gold for about 2 years now, a friend taught me a bit of the basics before he moved so I've been playing on my own with what he left me and from watching others and after my fourth time on the course I decided I won't play on a course until I'm satisfied with my swing at the driving range, unfortunately life keeps you busy at times and couldn't go hit the balls as much as I'd like to and I was advised against watching 'how to' videos because everyone is different and would just confuse a beginner because of all the steps and I agree... Luckily I realised a while back that golf isn't about how hard you hit the ball but I couldn't figure out why my club/driver face kept opening and now I know, I don't hinge I tense up instead as well as not using my hips and legs and following through and a few other things thats wrong with my foundation that I'm looking forward to improving so thank you and I look forward to watching your other videos and putting them into practice... Apologies for the essay
You're welcome. Simple is the way. If you get it you will do it. Just remember, you hit it with your legs and hips not your hands and arms. That alone should make you great.
@@paulwilsongolf agreed simple is best. I just finished watching your video on the neutral grip and I learnt that my grip was completely wrong. Which explains one of the causes to my slicing problem and wrist pain, I believe that the other is not using my hips and legs correctly, I'm very thankful for your videos it's really awesome what you're doing and you explain in a way that anybody can understand and adapt
I did your one bucket challenge and it worked quite well. When I go to the range I usually hit the first 10 balls that way before I move my hands out.
Very good. People quit after a few balls. What if they got it on ball 4? They would never know. Just need to do it enough that you get more used to it. Keep at it. You are on your way.
Interesting idea to change where to grip (down). I'll try it. I've tried to hit down at times and it never worked. Hopefully this will help
So many people trying to hit and hit down. At some point you would think that didn't work. Well, it doesn't. Not hitting is different which takes a little getting used too. Once you do, you will never look back.
You have a natural talent at golf instruction. You are a gift. I have never taken lessons but if I ever did, I would want an instructor like you.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
I watched your grip video and it has made me such a better golfer already love the videos
Very good. It all starts with the grip.
Thanks Paul, I’m a 65 year old left handed retired person play golf right handed. 😀 I played golf last Tuesday and we were joined by two players on the last two holes. They were a good 10 years older than me, but had the most fluid casual swings and totally outplayed us. I found you this morning. I’m sitting here with sore forearms and will try to practice the casual swing. Thank you and I’ve subscribed.
Yes, at some point it has to dawn on you that whacking away at it is only going to lead to bad results and a sore body. There is a different way. You need to use the legs and hips as the power source. This one should help: ruclips.net/video/NdyDgGO95XY/видео.html then start here: Grip: ruclips.net/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/видео.html

Thanks Paul, I’ve been practicing and the hinge, re-hinge feels good. I actually have a 7 iron under the couch 😀
I’ve never felt so impure in my life until this lol! Great video tho
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
😂
Do you also feel uncompressed?
This was the most impressive lesson I've ever seen.......EVER!
My best tip ever, and I am 80 years old. I'm all arms and legs, and every lesson I have taken the coach always said ,"your're a picker and don't worry about it. I tried this drill this morning and saw improvement. I'm looking forward to more time on the range.
Yes, this is a great drill that will loosen your wrists. You don't need super deep divots but shallow would be ideal. You should watch this one too:
ruclips.net/video/_ji_zykZlY8/видео.html
Also hover the club above the ball when gripped down and will force you to go down and take a divot
You can try it but not necessary.
I’m 6 months into golf. Topping and chunking every ball. Out of frustration I just losely swing at thit ball without thinking or tensing and smashed it right down the pipe. Ever since then I keep my body and wrists loose and make great contact every time. Looked up loose wrists and found your channel. You make it make sense
So glad you loosened up and are seeing results. Stick with it. Fun times ahead.
Paul, love your videos and found this one especially helpful. Tried it on the range yesterday and it was just like you said. Loose wrists resulted in a nice ball flight. Might try this during today’s round on a couple shots at our club that are always tough for me. Still not sure, even after watching a few times, exactly why this drill works. Is it simply having a little of the club weight above your hands enough to feel different? Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Great to hear! It changes the balance point of the club so you can feel it hinging and rehinging. You do this and you loosen the wrists which is exactly what I am after. Hopefully, you saw the end of the tip where I said once you get it gripping all the way down then start to move up a little then a little more. So today why not grip down an inch to try it?
Paul, I’m playing a round with the boys on Saturday. Do you recommend I do this with a bucket of balls before hole 1 and then work my way up with the grip? Thanks! You are amazing!
Thanks. You can do this but I would be concerned about loosening up. I would be doing this drill at home in practice swings loosening up your wrists. Here is now to beat your friends. When you get to the course you hit only 25 balls. When you hit them DO NOT aim for a target. DO NOT care where the balls go. In fact just hit it and don't even watch it. Once you hit your 25 balls go putt and chip. Now you will step on the first tee with no expectations.
Got new Irons, wasn’t hitting them like the old-did this drill for 100 balls-went and played nine holes and I am a whole new golfer!
Wow!
Great! Glad you tried it. Stick with it then be sure to grip back up.
Wish me luck, I just started learning golf😅
Try to keep it simple. Don't work on too much at once. Just remember you are hitting it with your body (legs and hips) not your hands and arms. START HERE:

@@paulwilsongolf Yes Sir🙋 I'm putting my attention on the lower body👍😁 Thank you🙏💗
@@paulwilsongolf to
Literally just left the range thinking man my irons are just too short that’s the problem. Came home. Watched this. Went in my backyard (which I haven’t mowed yet) and hit my 6 just like you said to do. Instantly felt more comfortable in my stance and swing. First swing ball went sailing. Second swing ball went sailing. Both flew nice and straight and I felt my swing seemed more natural. Now I can’t wait to try this on the course. HUGE thanks.
That's great. Glad you found me. This tip really works as you are finding out. Give it a try next time out.
I get some weird looks when I tee up my ball on the fairway.
Well, if that's what you have to do when you are learning then do it. You will get way worse looks if you are holding people up topping it 10 times down the fairway.
Paul... great advise! I used to play very well without much wrist hinge...… now I definitely hit it farther, but every once in a while I slice the ball drastically right because I think I'm holding the hinge too long and leaving the face open... I might need more work on my timing and not waiting so long to turn over. Thanks for all your excellent videos! I think I watched them all!
Just remember right = tight. So if your wrists are too tight you need to loosen them to allow the face to square. This grip down drill is a good one for loosening you up. You can follow these ones too:

Love your videos ! I'm starting to work on the "effortless swing" as I am so guilty of hitting hard at THAT ball ! That said, I tried this drill on my mat today and I will take it to the range tomorrow. But, I found I still tend to just skim the ground thus topping..my major issue. Any suggestions on what I can do to swing effortless while making sure I make complete contact with the ball and ground ? Thank you !
Thanks. Hit the ball then look for it. Also you probably have a chicken wing. Need to work on that ruclips.net/video/7o65z_pd28s/видео.html and here is a good one for you: ruclips.net/video/gI_fYMEBPNw/видео.html
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it.
I tried it today and I couldn’t believe the results. I’m Day 4 into golf and hearing the compression sound gave me some confidence. Thank you.
Great job! So glad you found me and tried this tip. Works great. Just remember it's a drill. Slowly grip back up once you've got it.
