Okey, I need you to listen to me right now. I have maybe seen about 40 000 videos here to upgrade my golf swing, I have played for 2 years, 15 hcp. Non of them have helped me, NON. I usually come over the top and I could understand why. I went to coaches but nothing helped. But this one, this Video has changed everything. I went to the range today thinking about what you said about using your legs rotation. I have a lot of rotation in the backswing but nothing before impact. Every shot i made was completely pure and the distance was crazy!! and now its winter in sweden but it doesnt matter. So thankful, so so thankful!
Paul i think you just saved my golfing life ,, what an amazing lesson this is,,been coming over the top forever and this video is so simple and hits hard in the feels ,, thank you. Ive been trying to take my arms out of my swing also but now i feel like im using my shoulders to turn
Glad to help. Fixing this over the top move is vital in taking your game to a whole new level. Now you are on track. Within no time you will do it without thinking about it. Keep up the good work.
Wow, this worked for me within 1 bucket. Your videos are rebuilding my swing from the ground up. I was taught to keep my head over the ball at all times during the backswing, and that just wasnt working for me. It left me with a slice that would end up 20 yards right of where i was aiming. Now with this technique, I am hitting straighter shots. Thanks Paul
Hi Paul ... I just knocked 10 shots off my game with the loosen the wrists video 43 points no scratches off 19 gross 84 All thanks to keeping the wrists loose ....omg the compression I was getting was amazing ... Love your videos Thank you Paul from Ireland
That's great. Loose wrists is a huge key for sure. Game is getting exciting now. You better watch this one: ruclips.net/video/glKnfVbhuXo/видео.html Stay focused and keep this stuff simple.
I suffered with a reverse pivot for 30 years and never knew it. This is the best advice ever to fit the problem, I can really relate to this problem. Thank you for posting this lesson. Maybe now I can fix it after struggling for years.
I have been working through your Bodyswing method and discovering a lot about how the hands and arms have hurt my swing over the years. I have found that with a good shoulder coil and my arms and hands turned off the above tilt you mention seems to happen without thinking. It is so different to the rushed downswing feel I have when my arms are dominating. The particular drill where you swing to the top and hit the 7 iron 80-100 yards has been the biggest eye opener for me. I think the challenge for most golfers that started as adults (me included) is that turning off the arms is probably one of the hardest things to be able to master. Trusting your shoulders to create the backswing with your arms along for the ride as passengers is probably the single hardest concept to grasp but is basically the key to true distance and accuracy. Anyway congrats on your fantastic Bodyswing method which to me is the very best method out there. This is from someone who has tried them all.
Thank you for your support and kind words. I truly appreciate it. Yes, that is a great drill. It totally takes your arms out but you need to keep doing it until you get used to it.
Yes. I can't believe how this method works. The pros are gifted physically and with hand eye coordination and flexibility. Those of us less gifted and/or older would enjoy golf far more using this method! Zen golf is also complimentary with this system.
It is hard because swinging without arms goes so much less in yardage but it’s much better contact. It’s hard to loose 30 yards on each club but I need to tell myself to do it anyway.
You may do that at first until you switch to using the legs and hips as the power source. You are not good at it. So keep working on it until you are feeling the legs and hips. I fly it consistently 280-285 which is plenty. Do this drill daily for a month or more: ruclips.net/video/x1NehGi8tyI/видео.html plus keep building the swing and making it great. You've come a long way since wanting to quit so lets make it even better.
Omg thank you thank you. This is the video I needed 15 years ago. I never knew why I was hitting the ball so bad. I am the over the top puller. I never new that the head needed to be behind the ball on the downswing. I took your advice an went to the range and hit 2 buckets. Did what you said and omg the difference was amazing. The ball jumped off of my clubs. It seemed to give me lag and my finish looked amazing and my confidence has never been higher. So from 1 Paul to another thank you. I can’t wait to shock my friends when we play Awesome tip.
Another fine lesson I never come over the top now, I concentrate on my elbow, I was really bad, but got the message, it was really weird at first but feels nice now
For yeeeeears I was told I hit from the top. Had no idea what that was. Always hit slices. But with your help and a video I shot of my swing, I saw immediately what coming over the top was. My entire shoulder and right arm start the down swing. Keeping a head tilt back and starting swing with my lower body has literally been a swing changer. My challenge is keeping my arms relaxed. Thank you so much for your insight and wisdom Paul. For whatever reason, your ability to speak about the golf swing makes sense to my brain. Who wants to buy my golf lag club 😂
Yeah hitting from the top will never work. The great majority of people are doing that and guess what? The great majority swing over the top. See the correlation? I am not hitting anything. I fire the lower which gets the tilt between the axis and flattens the plane (simple physics). Glad you are on track now and will never try to hit from the top ever again.
Glad you liked this one. Thanks.

Paul I feel like I owe you money. I went to the range after watching a lot of your videos and you’ve absolutely changed the game for me. I was using a hybrid single plane setup and it just was not clicking. I set up lines/targets and hit all but two out of a large bucket while hitting those pure. Really appreciate it as I was starting to get frustrated with the game.
Glad you are doing well. You can certainly offer your support over at bodyswing.com. I know what frustration is all about. After I started taking lessons it took me over 10 years to get it back and I was working on it daily. I have literally tried everything and went to some of the best teachers in the world. I got it back when I stopped trying to hit or help the shot with my arms. No one ever told me that. This is why I tell it to everyone.
This video is perfect for me. Thanks for keeping it simple. Will try your advice this weekend. Long time golfer and slicer here. I appreciate your time. Thank Paul
Simple is the key. Curing slices is one of my specialities.

Thank you for this drill. 41 years of golf and I never had a clear understanding of how the BODY swings the club. I had a great swing and then took a lesson. Keep head straight killed my game. I bought your course but the changes didn’t give me INSTANT gratification so I gave up. I am 72 and now being dedicated to your course, my goal is to shoot my age!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSTRUCTION AND “HUMOR”.
Been there. I went through exactly this. First 2 years trying to get it back I hit 1,000 balls per day, every day for 2 years hitting it sideways. Then 8 more years working positions. I only got it once I turned me arms off completely. Stay focused. Whatever you think you've done I have done 100 times more. So follow exactly what I say and show. Do daily practice swings. Every swing counts now. You've got this.
i ended up buying his driver swing lesson and i can't recommend it enough. I was so focused on hitting the ball and taking a divot, coming over the top that I ended up getting stress fractures on my ribs on my right side. This swing has completely changed my golf swing. I went from a 22 handicap to a 15. Cant recommend his method enough. I payed 10$ (CAD) at the time and it was worth every penny. His youtube lessons are fantastic but there's little tips in his payed lesson that make it that much easier. Treat yourself and buy the complete lesson to make it that much easier to get this swing down quick. Thanks Paul!
4:23 - Manual Tilt! Last year I began this exact transformation, and I had to do it 2 phases. First, I had to purposefully introduce and over-exaggerate trail-side lateral bend (tilt), but I lacked even the slightest hint of good hip rotation. So I had good tilt, with the dreaded early hip extension. I spent months working on hip rotation, but only ever got about 15 degrees open on my best swings. Then one day Paul, the mad scientist golf pro instructor guru, tells me, "You got to push that lead knee straight back, not towards the target." And bang, a sense rotation was born, like it fell from the sky! So I had good tilt, better rotation, but my arms were not sync'd well with all that. So I spent 3 weeks working on it and I'll know if any good came from it on my next range session video. Hopefully this week.
No one has ever explained it like this to me. I recently took lessons from a very reputable pro and he did emphasize the inside to outside swing but not in the same way you do in this video. Thank you.
I struggled with reverse pivot for the last 5 years. I didn know what a reverse pivot was but I knew I had it and this video confirmed it. This tip fixed my swing in 1 hour at the range. Went out and hit all fairways and greens. Thank you Paul!
For the average golfer like myself it's that synchronisation of staying behind the ball & transferring the weight to the front foot that needs the work. Reverse pivot is something I picked up trying to replicate JM Olazabal's swing back in the day, it's a hard habit to break! Great tip again Paul.
Been playing for just over a year and I found your tips a few weeks ago. It’s been a huge improvement using your method. Driver is still a work in progress but my irons are so much more consistent and getting great contact
Glad you found me. Glad you are doing well. I love hearing it. Just remember that driver is longer and people see better player hit it 300 yards so they think hitting hard is going to get you there. It's not. You need to swing looser not harder. Legs and hips are the power soruce. Watch this tip: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html Get the wrists hinging and rehinging with these drills: ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/p4vASmOzkPg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/N-nGM6yN790/видео.html ruclips.net/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/видео.html This is step 1. Get that then start adding body to straighten it out.
I played with a group of guy recently who all sent it over the top and they literally would aim for the trees (left side) with the hope of the face opening and slicing it back into the fairway. Even the PW would "cut" slice back into the greens. It was wild and it was all 3 of them.... I'll be honest with you I don't think any of them drove it farther than 200 yards and they were in their 30s, I am in my mid 40s. -- Apologies Paul, but I forgot to mention I noticed that a lot of them set up with super open shoulders and I think that compounded their issues more. I'm so glad to have stuck with the body swing and I am able to smack irons with relaxed arms and a moderate body/hip turn. Even just moving my hips 50% or what I perceive as 50% ( I am still new to this technique) I am able to carry 165 - 170 with my 7 with a high ball flight and hold greens. When I was arm's hitting Paul I grooved a moderately consistently swing and could play to a 85 scoring level from 6400 but that was when I was playing my best. But my ball flight was soooo low, anything after an 8 iron would skip off the Bermuda greens. Now I am launching it MUCH higher and holding greens. I haven't quite gotten back there yet as in scoring, but I rarely practice my short game (never) and hit the ranges maybe 2 times a month, but I am consistent with your drills and that helps out a lot. Being in Florida I play year round and each time I have gone out there I have gotten better since staying with the body swing. This is with me going through an iron fitting as well to graphite shafts. One last note, my Stokes gain on my irons (per shot scope) vs 10 handicap has increased by 3 strokes in the last 5 or so rounds. It makes a HUGE difference.
I have just started watching your videos. Your no nonsense approach to teaching is very refreshing. I am sure your lessons are going to pay off for me. Thank you!

Thank you. I appreciate it. I have always thought "fast and easy" from my very first lesson 30 years ago. If it is too confusing people will never do it or remember it. Glad you found me.
For some reason my buddies still won’t tune in even after I went from a 25 handicap to 11 (first year playing golf, not bad), preaching your videos. They’re looking for a quick, and expensive, fix from a local golf instructor...but as you’ve mentioned before, fixing an error with another error helps no one! Another great video!
Yes, I did watch this. I just don’t feel my body doing this. It doesn’t happen all the time. Maybe only twice in a whole game. I’ll try and remember this. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
So do it every day in practice swings until mastered. I get the feeling you are trying to work on it only at the range or while playing. This is not enough for it to take hold.
You should watch these too: ruclips.net/video/RdphthCQ9VM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/2cPM_FSoHNM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/KlffJzbskmM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/p6YWiBPnQqI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/видео.html (secret tip)
His tip about staying behind the ball and what that actually means was eye opening. I played in an outing a couple days and while not hitting everything perfect, I hit some shots that I haven't hit in 20 years because I was not staying behind the ball. I could not slice when I did it properly. I actually didn't embarrass myself playing with 3 strangers. I think I am going to adopt Paul's swing method. I'm getting older and my body is not as fit as it used to be and I need to hit with no effort.
That's great. So glad you tried it and saw some great shots. Just keep working on it until you can do it without thinking about it. Do lots of practice swings at home.
Thanks Paul! Watched this tip at lunch. Went to the range after work then played 6 holes and what an immediate difference!. I had always kept my head steady and in the middle of my stance. This was definitely one of my missing links (no pun intended). Amazing!
Great. Exciting when you see results. Move your head for sure. This is an athletic movement. No other sport has you with your head still. Watch: ruclips.net/video/EDlwfq_ZBvE/видео.html
Outstanding. The first time one of your viewers stay behind it and start the ball out to the right and curve it left with much less effort, they will be amazed how much easier the swing is and will produce much better results!
Exactly. I just need them to not quit after 3 attempts. That is pretty hard. They do any of these tips for 1 bucket and they will start to see amazing shots. Then it's up to them to keep doing it or not.
@@paulwilsongolf If I ONLY lived in Las Vegas (instead of Ohio), YOU'D be giving me lessons and I'd get that handicap under 10 consistently! Your relaxed swing is a pleasure to watch!
A friend pointed out a good way to shallow the club and hit from the inside is to think and feel like the arms are low to the ground in the downswing. I tried this and found it helps tilt the upper body and power the lower body.
Seems like this would be okay. I keep telling people you can't hit the ground behind the ball unless you are attacking from the inside. If you were over the top you would hit the ground ahead of the ball. I know you are not trying to hit the ground but essentially that is what you are doing by feeling low hands. If it works for you keep doing it.
A lot of people are which has been a huge problem. You wouldn't play any other sport keeping your head still. So if golf is sport your head would move.
Thank you Paul Wilson, you are truly one…. if not the best instructor Online. I appreciate your patience in breaking down every aspect of the instructions 🏌🏼♂️⛳️🏆
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Well, I just don't think people understand it so if I can put it in simple terms that will help people get the concept or even what to do. Then a little practice and it takes their game to a whole new level.

been working on these few tips recently and won my first medal on Saturday.. never understood my swing as much until I watched these videos.. outstanding
Glad you liked it! This is certainly the concept. Few fire the lower that hard though so they don't get it. In this case I make them manually tilt. This gets a big piece then they work on firing the lower so they don't hang back too much. Sometimes you need to work on things in steps.
I’m a newbie to golf and have really taken to your teaching style and approach to body mechanics. I like your sincere and genuine energy. One question: I’ve seen some videos that talk about hitting the “ball before the ground” and you are emphasizing hitting “behind”. Da you clarify? And thank you again. I’ll be going through all your videos and likely your course.
Thanks for the support. Yeah, I have seen those too. If that acutally worked wouldn't everyone be taking divots and hitting perfect shots? I am not hitting anything. The ball is hit first due to the right fundamentals. If you try to hit the ball you will be trying to figure this out for 30 years. Stop hitting the ball in any way with your arms and you will get it in no time. I have tips on this here: ruclips.net/video/EDlwfq_ZBvE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/_ji_zykZlY8/видео.html Thanks in advance for the support. I truly appreciate it.
Great lesson Paul. I always thought that keeping my head still, rigid in fact, was key. Watching this today has shown me why I have exactly what you describe - a push slice. Thank you for posting this and I will get to work on it.
Thanks so much. Too many people staying still with their heads. Move and like magic you feel way more power and get the club shallowing in the downswing. Keep at it.
I have watched this but kinda missed the points hahah.. Did not realise how important to let our head move a bit as we backswing, and let it stay there as we downswing, hence automatically creating shallowing of the club and the tilting of our head behind the ball, then magically our head will turn to the target automatically as the club force pull our body forward after the ball is hit. Effortless..! Thanks again, Coach!!!
Hi Paul I would like to thank you for your help you are definitely the best teacher I have EVER watched and now the only one I watch I was at 6 gone back to 9 but slowly getting there for about 6to 7 holes a round doing the effectless swing lol then hitting with arms but I definitely seeing the progress today I hit several drivers 250 metres so thank you SO MUCH best Intructer EVER
This was a great lesson and I will try to focus more on this tomorrow One other issue I have or so it seems why I have a left pull or hook is I have a feeling my right arm / hand dominates my downswing and I close the face and come over the top.
Exactly right. So stop hitting. You need to check your grip and make it neutral. Then you would have strength in this hand to hit with: ruclips.net/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/видео.html watch this too: ruclips.net/video/K5wPQn-3Br4/видео.html
@@paulwilsongolf So far just practice swings with no club in hand. Just trying to get used to the tilt on my downswing. Feels less tense and more powerful with a better release. Hoping this will improve my strike.
Oooh can’t wait to try this, another great tip Paul, the way you explain thing is so simple and relaxed. You remind me so much of my guidance counselor in junior high, the nicest guy John niebauhkee ( most likely not spelled correctly)
Paul... I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 215 lbs. I'm a relatively muscular guy who loves to work out and is in good health. I can't tell you how badly it bugs me to see people half my size hitting it 300 yards and I'm skying the heck out of my balls 3 miles into the air and landing at only 200 yards. My iron game is money and my driver game stinks. Your loose wrist hinge philosophy, coupled with your awesome techniques are going to enable me to become a dominant ball striker. I'm so appreciative for your content. You are a God send!
Yes, you need to get the driver going. Problem is people want to kill it. This tightens the wrists. So as much as you want to kill it give up all control. ALL control. This will feel weird at first but in no time you will see amazing shots because they less you use your arms the more you use your body. Skying driver is the head getting ahead of the ball in the downswing so you sure are using your arms. Keep your head behind the ball in the downswing and you will never sky it. I still remember the last ball I ever skyed.
@@paulwilsongolf Got it! I've been at home nightly, loose wrists, succumbing to the new way, feeling relaxed and using my body. As soon as I wind up and rotate and let the wrists loose, I feel I can use that lag to generate some nice speed and hit properly. And yes, head is always now behind the ball. I'll let you know how I make out over the next month or so. I'm a quick learner. Thanks for your reply. You are phenomenal!
Another great video, Paul. I was coming over the top... hitting big pushes with divot pointing left of target. I tried this tip and hit only two bad shots in 18 holes today. Great tip... Thank you!!!
Yes i noticed the shadow of my head moving forward in a practice swing then i saw your video,problem solved.I,m also doing your other drills namely swing arc back and through and hip rotation drills,i can only get better.Beforehand i,d been watching every other teacher which only confuses you forgot to mention hitting balls feet together.thanks S/J
Thanks Paul. Good explanation and really help. Also when I am at the impact position, I will make sure that my hip turns at least 45 degree with my right heel up about 4 inches or so. In this way most of my shots are pretty straight.
Ok, I always go back to these videos when I’m off and I’m losing track of which ones I’ve used and which are best for me. This was in the sequence I use. I fire the hips, to keep behind the ball I tilt to my right because I was pulling dead straight left which was obviously coming over the top. Now I have the problem with snaphooks😂. Tryin to figure how to get through the swing without goin back to over the top
Snap hook is simple. You are attacking too much from the inside and turning it over. Watch: ruclips.net/video/FOB9geBbyFA/видео.html You tilted too much.
It takes a lot to shoot and edit. Just doing these tips and answering questions takes a lot of effort. I will get out there at some point. For various reasons, I am working on my swing right now. Once I feel confident with it I will get out there. I have some good ideas for tips.
My golf buddies just told me the other day that I need to work on this. I'm shooting around 80 from the tips (about 7,100 yds) at the course I belong to and I'm just 1 or 2 really bad shots away from shooting in the low 70s but I can't get away from the huge miss due to my over the top swing (also get accused of swinging similar to Furyk). I'm going to work on this as much as I can. Never had a lesson but I'm coachable...lol.
You are doing well for no lessons. Where are the bad shots going. This will determine what you need to do to fix them. Having a Furyk swing isn't a bad thing as he is one of the most consistent golfers of all time plus as he takes it way outside he drops it inside coming down which allows it to be on the inside out path. If you do have a Furyk move then make sure you are looping it from outside to in to get the path. Also, following this tip will do the trick too. Keep in mind too that if you have a unique swing and start to make changes your 80 could easily turn into 90 as the new swing will feel totally different. Make subtle changes. You change the whole think right now and it could be trouble.
The pull hooks are you starting it down with your arms. There is no slice spin though so you are releasing the club. If your wrists were locked you would be pull slicing it. So you have half right on those shots. You need to start your lower body first to straighten out the pull hook. The slice is you hitting so hard you are coming out of the shot. This locks your wrists and you get the slice spin. So if you see that shot slow down. Feel loose wrists before hitting your next shot. ruclips.net/video/2rSmPExx4_k/видео.html
Another great tip. Can"t wait to try staying back. I have been swing in the yard and it seems to send the club head to the right. my question is. Is the clubface square to target at address? Thanks again.
Fix the path. If you are overdoing it then you will see it swing right. Once you have ingrained this simple turn more to hit it straight. Yes, the face would be square to the target at address.
Yes, absolutely. But the amount of tilt varies with how hard you fire the lower body. Wedges = not so much tilt. Watch this too: ruclips.net/video/BZD0_jPL8ks/видео.html
I was wondering why i was hitting pulls and pull slices now i know why i think its all about tilt and staying behind the ball gonna try that head drill next time at the range
@paulwilsongolf Hey Paul, you are a lifesaver! I went out 2 days ago and hit 8 out of 9 greens ! Never came close to that. And your right effortless. One thing I get stuck in my head is if I aimed correctly . I feel like sometimes I'm blocking my shot to the left. I'm left handed any tips to help me maybe stop thinking about it so much? Thanks again!
Glad you are doing well. You need to work on your alignment every time you are swinging a club. Watch: ruclips.net/video/VFZc0Wq282k/видео.html ruclips.net/video/V14Xbv5aD5g/видео.html
That is a very good tip holding your head back.I remember i had a paperback golf book and one of the tips was hitting past the chin a tip you don,t hear about nowadays which i think is the same as holding your head back not drifting forward,am i right.S/J.
Exactly right. Drifting forward is a serious issue that people seem to want to keep teaching. Good luck stopping an over the top swing if you are thinking like that.
Paul! Come back to Kingston for a week please!!! Great video man. Maybe I will hit a fairway this weekend. Hard to believe it's been 25 years since played Cat.
Hi Paul Love your instruction. I have changed my golf swing by watching your videos. I have been an arm swinger all my golfing life. It is very difficult to know what to do with your arms on the downswing . Cannot seem to stiop bringing them into the hitting area. Please assist. Many thanka
You are doing nothing with your arms. In the downswing they are powerless. You need to watch more of my tips. Work on the arms as a unit. You do the neutral grip. The wrists hinge and reghinge. A hinge is loose. You then connect this arm unit to your body which coils and uncoils. That is the most simple image you need to have. ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html go against human nature.
First class presentation Paul! Thanks for sharing! One question if i may please. Today i tried to get right knee kicking in but struggled to do this. Having now seen this video i wonder if my not staying behind the ball longer means it is more difficult to push off the right foot/kick in with the right knee or am i just not getting it ?
You need to stay behind it as you fire the lower. If not, you will come over the top so you need to keep working on this. Give it more than one try. Anytime I change anything I think 1 month until I can groove it. Just look at the back of the ball as you fire the lower and hit the shot. If so, it will keep you behind it without thinking about it. This is one of the ways I got it years ago.
Lmao...it’s funny that every bad scenario you described was me!!! Very good explanation of exactly what it is you’re doing in the swing. I’ve taken lessons and my instructor didn’t get as in depth as your videos....and the sad part is that this video is free.

Okey, I need you to listen to me right now. I have maybe seen about 40 000 videos here to upgrade my golf swing, I have played for 2 years, 15 hcp. Non of them have helped me, NON. I usually come over the top and I could understand why. I went to coaches but nothing helped. But this one, this Video has changed everything. I went to the range today thinking about what you said about using your legs rotation. I have a lot of rotation in the backswing but nothing before impact. Every shot i made was completely pure and the distance was crazy!! and now its winter in sweden but it doesnt matter. So thankful, so so thankful!
Very good. Light bulb moment. These take your game to a whole new level. Keep at it.
Paul's system, body swing, has improved my game immensely!
So glad you are doing well. Great to hear. Keep at it.
Paul i think you just saved my golfing life ,, what an amazing lesson this is,,been coming over the top forever and this video is so simple and hits hard in the feels ,, thank you. Ive been trying to take my arms out of my swing also but now i feel like im using my shoulders to turn
Glad to help. Fixing this over the top move is vital in taking your game to a whole new level. Now you are on track. Within no time you will do it without thinking about it. Keep up the good work.
Wow, this worked for me within 1 bucket. Your videos are rebuilding my swing from the ground up. I was taught to keep my head over the ball at all times during the backswing, and that just wasnt working for me. It left me with a slice that would end up 20 yards right of where i was aiming. Now with this technique, I am hitting straighter shots. Thanks Paul
Glad you are working on it and seeing results. Stay focused. Fun times ahead for you without that slice.
Hi Paul ...
I just knocked 10 shots off my game with the loosen the wrists video
43 points no scratches off 19 gross 84
All thanks to keeping the wrists loose ....omg the compression I was getting was amazing ...
Love your videos
Thank you
Paul from Ireland
That's great. Loose wrists is a huge key for sure. Game is getting exciting now. You better watch this one:
ruclips.net/video/glKnfVbhuXo/видео.html
Stay focused and keep this stuff simple.
I suffered with a reverse pivot for 30 years and never knew it. This is the best advice ever to fit the problem, I can really relate to this problem. Thank you for posting this lesson. Maybe now I can fix it after struggling for years.
Glad it helped! That reverse is not fun. Try this one too:
ruclips.net/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/видео.html (secret tip)
I have been working through your Bodyswing method and discovering a lot about how the hands and arms have hurt my swing over the years. I have found that with a good shoulder coil and my arms and hands turned off the above tilt you mention seems to happen without thinking. It is so different to the rushed downswing feel I have when my arms are dominating. The particular drill where you swing to the top and hit the 7 iron 80-100 yards has been the biggest eye opener for me.
I think the challenge for most golfers that started as adults (me included) is that turning off the arms is probably one of the hardest things to be able to master. Trusting your shoulders to create the backswing with your arms along for the ride as passengers is probably the single hardest concept to grasp but is basically the key to true distance and accuracy.
Anyway congrats on your fantastic Bodyswing method which to me is the very best method out there. This is from someone who has tried them all.
Thank you for your support and kind words. I truly appreciate it. Yes, that is a great drill. It totally takes your arms out but you need to keep doing it until you get used to it.
Yes. I can't believe how this method works. The pros are gifted physically and with hand eye coordination and flexibility. Those of us less gifted and/or older would enjoy golf far more using this method! Zen golf is also complimentary with this system.
It is hard because swinging without arms goes so much less in yardage but it’s much better contact. It’s hard to loose 30 yards on each club but I need to tell myself to do it anyway.
You may do that at first until you switch to using the legs and hips as the power source. You are not good at it. So keep working on it until you are feeling the legs and hips. I fly it consistently 280-285 which is plenty. Do this drill daily for a month or more: ruclips.net/video/x1NehGi8tyI/видео.html plus keep building the swing and making it great. You've come a long way since wanting to quit so lets make it even better.
Omg thank you thank you. This is the video I needed 15 years ago. I never knew why I was hitting the ball so bad. I am the over the top puller. I never new that the head needed to be behind the ball on the downswing. I took your advice an went to the range and hit 2 buckets. Did what you said and omg the difference was amazing. The ball jumped off of my clubs. It seemed to give me lag and my finish looked amazing and my confidence has never been higher. So from 1 Paul to another thank you. I can’t wait to shock my friends when we play Awesome tip.
This will certainly fix that over the top swing. Just imagine how much better your game will be now.
The best golf you tube lesson I think I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
Another fine lesson I never come over the top now, I concentrate on my elbow, I was really bad, but got the message, it was really weird at first but feels nice now
Very good. Little work and it's fixed. Now you can take you game to a whole new level. Good job.
For yeeeeears I was told I hit from the top. Had no idea what that was. Always hit slices. But with your help and a video I shot of my swing, I saw immediately what coming over the top was. My entire shoulder and right arm start the down swing. Keeping a head tilt back and starting swing with my lower body has literally been a swing changer. My challenge is keeping my arms relaxed. Thank you so much for your insight and wisdom Paul. For whatever reason, your ability to speak about the golf swing makes sense to my brain. Who wants to buy my golf lag club 😂
Yeah hitting from the top will never work. The great majority of people are doing that and guess what? The great majority swing over the top. See the correlation? I am not hitting anything. I fire the lower which gets the tilt between the axis and flattens the plane (simple physics). Glad you are on track now and will never try to hit from the top ever again.
Brilliant Paul, just brilliant. I haven’t seen anyone find so many ways to explain a drill the way you do so that it makes sense. Many many thanks.
Glad you liked this one. Thanks. Here are some others:

Paul I feel like I owe you money. I went to the range after watching a lot of your videos and you’ve absolutely changed the game for me. I was using a hybrid single plane setup and it just was not clicking. I set up lines/targets and hit all but two out of a large bucket while hitting those pure. Really appreciate it as I was starting to get frustrated with the game.
Glad you are doing well. You can certainly offer your support over at bodyswing.com. I know what frustration is all about. After I started taking lessons it took me over 10 years to get it back and I was working on it daily. I have literally tried everything and went to some of the best teachers in the world. I got it back when I stopped trying to hit or help the shot with my arms. No one ever told me that. This is why I tell it to everyone.
This video is perfect for me. Thanks for keeping it simple. Will try your advice this weekend. Long time golfer and slicer here.
I appreciate your time.
Thank Paul
Simple is the key. Curing slices is one of my specialities. Watch me do it:

Best tip of all time. Love how you also incorporated the "Lift and Shift" lesson. It all came together today. Thanks a bunch Sir Paul.
Happy to help! Glad you got this one. This is huge.
Awesome. Now that my hip action is improved I suspect this is the weak part of my swing. Can't wait to try it out at the range tomorrow!
Yes, this is a huge part of it. It will take a while to get used to it. Once you do you are starting to copy pros.
Paul ive looked at a lot of tips on over the top none have worked this tip is amazing thanks Paul your the best on you tube
Thanks so much. I just keep it simple. This allows people to understand it which is half of getting it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this drill. 41 years of golf and I never had a clear understanding of how the BODY swings the club. I had a great swing and then took a lesson. Keep head straight killed my game. I bought your course but the changes didn’t give me INSTANT gratification so I gave up. I am 72 and now being dedicated to your course, my goal is to shoot my age!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSTRUCTION AND “HUMOR”.
Been there. I went through exactly this. First 2 years trying to get it back I hit 1,000 balls per day, every day for 2 years hitting it sideways. Then 8 more years working positions. I only got it once I turned me arms off completely. Stay focused. Whatever you think you've done I have done 100 times more. So follow exactly what I say and show. Do daily practice swings. Every swing counts now. You've got this.
i ended up buying his driver swing lesson and i can't recommend it enough. I was so focused on hitting the ball and taking a divot, coming over the top that I ended up getting stress fractures on my ribs on my right side. This swing has completely changed my golf swing. I went from a 22 handicap to a 15. Cant recommend his method enough. I payed 10$ (CAD) at the time and it was worth every penny. His youtube lessons are fantastic but there's little tips in his payed lesson that make it that much easier. Treat yourself and buy the complete lesson to make it that much easier to get this swing down quick. Thanks Paul!
So glad you are on track and doing well. It just takes a little understanding and a little work. The payoff is huge.
4:23 - Manual Tilt! Last year I began this exact transformation, and I had to do it 2 phases. First, I had to purposefully introduce and over-exaggerate trail-side lateral bend (tilt), but I lacked even the slightest hint of good hip rotation. So I had good tilt, with the dreaded early hip extension. I spent months working on hip rotation, but only ever got about 15 degrees open on my best swings. Then one day Paul, the mad scientist golf pro instructor guru, tells me, "You got to push that lead knee straight back, not towards the target." And bang, a sense rotation was born, like it fell from the sky! So I had good tilt, better rotation, but my arms were not sync'd well with all that. So I spent 3 weeks working on it and I'll know if any good came from it on my next range session video. Hopefully this week.
Yes. You have put in the work. The payoff is around the corner.
No one has ever explained it like this to me. I recently took lessons from a very reputable pro and he did emphasize the inside to outside swing but not in the same way you do in this video. Thank you.
I say things differently for sure. Just got to find someone who you mesh with.
I struggled with reverse pivot for the last 5 years. I didn know what a reverse pivot was but I knew I had it and this video confirmed it. This tip fixed my swing in 1 hour at the range. Went out and hit all fairways and greens. Thank you Paul!
Great to hear! Getting the right path is huge. This will take your game to a whole new level. Keep at it.
For the average golfer like myself it's that synchronisation of staying behind the ball & transferring the weight to the front foot that needs the work. Reverse pivot is something I picked up trying to replicate JM Olazabal's swing back in the day, it's a hard habit to break! Great tip again Paul.
It is tricky. This is why pros do it and ams don't. Stay focused and keep doing it. The payoff is in the future.
Been playing for just over a year and I found your tips a few weeks ago. It’s been a huge improvement using your method. Driver is still a work in progress but my irons are so much more consistent and getting great contact
Glad you found me. Glad you are doing well. I love hearing it. Just remember that driver is longer and people see better player hit it 300 yards so they think hitting hard is going to get you there. It's not. You need to swing looser not harder. Legs and hips are the power soruce. Watch this tip:

The missing piece. I worked on touch knees for a week then club parallel to ears for week. This brought it all home for me!!!
You've got love it when you get all the pieces. Great feeling. Now you can move on to mastering it. Keep up the good work.
The real secret to hitting from the inside and shallowing. Thanks Paul!
Exactly yet people just keep swinging over the top. This stuff is just so easy to fix it's mind boggling that golfers are struggling out there.
I played with a group of guy recently who all sent it over the top and they literally would aim for the trees (left side) with the hope of the face opening and slicing it back into the fairway. Even the PW would "cut" slice back into the greens. It was wild and it was all 3 of them.... I'll be honest with you I don't think any of them drove it farther than 200 yards and they were in their 30s, I am in my mid 40s. -- Apologies Paul, but I forgot to mention I noticed that a lot of them set up with super open shoulders and I think that compounded their issues more.
I'm so glad to have stuck with the body swing and I am able to smack irons with relaxed arms and a moderate body/hip turn. Even just moving my hips 50% or what I perceive as 50% ( I am still new to this technique) I am able to carry 165 - 170 with my 7 with a high ball flight and hold greens. When I was arm's hitting Paul I grooved a moderately consistently swing and could play to a 85 scoring level from 6400 but that was when I was playing my best. But my ball flight was soooo low, anything after an 8 iron would skip off the Bermuda greens. Now I am launching it MUCH higher and holding greens.
I haven't quite gotten back there yet as in scoring, but I rarely practice my short game (never) and hit the ranges maybe 2 times a month, but I am consistent with your drills and that helps out a lot. Being in Florida I play year round and each time I have gone out there I have gotten better since staying with the body swing. This is with me going through an iron fitting as well to graphite shafts.
One last note, my Stokes gain on my irons (per shot scope) vs 10 handicap has increased by 3 strokes in the last 5 or so rounds. It makes a HUGE difference.
I have just started watching your videos. Your no nonsense approach to teaching is very refreshing. I am sure your lessons are going to pay off for me. Thank you!
Welcome aboard! Just stay focused and do ton of practice swings. This is the easiest way to get it.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I have always thought "fast and easy" from my very first lesson 30 years ago. If it is too confusing people will never do it or remember it. Glad you found me.
Awesome video as always. It's very helpful.
Glad to hear it!
For some reason my buddies still won’t tune in even after I went from a 25 handicap to 11 (first year playing golf, not bad), preaching your videos. They’re looking for a quick, and expensive, fix from a local golf instructor...but as you’ve mentioned before, fixing an error with another error helps no one! Another great video!
Their loss. Let's get you down to low single digits and they will jump on board.
This is another magic I’ve learned from you Paul! You’re an amazing coach. 👍🌹
Thank you very much.
Ditto ditto ditto another great video of course most of us do struggle coming over the top. Flexibility as I get older has been the biggest issue
Yes, I did watch this. I just don’t feel my body doing this. It doesn’t happen all the time. Maybe only twice in a whole game. I’ll try and remember this. Thank you. Merry Christmas.
So do it every day in practice swings until mastered. I get the feeling you are trying to work on it only at the range or while playing. This is not enough for it to take hold.
Thanks Paul for superb video.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Paul I fall into the over the top quite often and don't realize on the course. Thanks I'm going to the range to work on this.

Cannot believe how much my game has changed since watching your channel and the free samples.
Practice everyday.
Fantastic! That's what I want to hear. Great job.
I've watched a lot of your videos. I think this is the best one.
Yes this a good one for sure. Glad you liked it. Thanks.
His tip about staying behind the ball and what that actually means was eye opening. I played in an outing a couple days and while not hitting everything perfect, I hit some shots that I haven't hit in 20 years because I was not staying behind the ball. I could not slice when I did it properly. I actually didn't embarrass myself playing with 3 strangers. I think I am going to adopt Paul's swing method. I'm getting older and my body is not as fit as it used to be and I need to hit with no effort.
That's great. So glad you tried it and saw some great shots. Just keep working on it until you can do it without thinking about it. Do lots of practice swings at home.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.Made all the difference to my swing . Thanks again
Glad it helped. That's what it's all about. Thanks.
Thanks Paul! Watched this tip at lunch. Went to the range after work then played 6 holes and what an immediate difference!. I had always kept my head steady and in the middle of my stance. This was definitely one of my missing links (no pun intended). Amazing!
Great. Exciting when you see results. Move your head for sure. This is an athletic movement. No other sport has you with your head still.
Watch:
ruclips.net/video/EDlwfq_ZBvE/видео.html
Outstanding. The first time one of your viewers stay behind it and start the ball out to the right and curve it left with much less effort, they will be amazed how much easier the swing is and will produce much better results!
Exactly. I just need them to not quit after 3 attempts. That is pretty hard. They do any of these tips for 1 bucket and they will start to see amazing shots. Then it's up to them to keep doing it or not.
@@paulwilsongolf If I ONLY lived in Las Vegas (instead of Ohio), YOU'D be giving me lessons and I'd get that handicap under 10 consistently! Your relaxed swing is a pleasure to watch!
I can work with anyone anywhere through my new app CoachLink. People who have tried it love it. See how it works here: bodyswing.com/coachlink
you are my new hero... so very simple head trick for such a MONUMENTAL change...ty ty
Glad you found me. This is a big one. You get this and your whole game will change.
Thanks Paul..another good tip!
Thanks you. I appreciate it.
Thanks Paul, now I see what has been going wrong with my swing. I’ll start working on it this week. 😊Thanks again
Very good. Got to fix the path. Get that and you whole game changes.
Spot on, Coach! Great drill! l used to send it over-the-top for years without knowing it. Thanks.
Happy to help! Glad you said used to. It's really not that hard to fix. Just takes a little work and you will hit the ball so much better.
@@paulwilsongolf ⁰
A friend pointed out a good way to shallow the club and hit from the inside is to think and feel like the arms are low to the ground in the downswing. I tried this and found it helps tilt the upper body and power the lower body.
Seems like this would be okay. I keep telling people you can't hit the ground behind the ball unless you are attacking from the inside. If you were over the top you would hit the ground ahead of the ball. I know you are not trying to hit the ground but essentially that is what you are doing by feeling low hands. If it works for you keep doing it.
Thanks Paul! Great video
Glad you liked it!
Nice tip! I've been trying to keep my head from moving all this time.
A lot of people are which has been a huge problem. You wouldn't play any other sport keeping your head still. So if golf is sport your head would move.
Thank you Paul Wilson, you are truly one…. if not the best instructor Online. I appreciate your patience in breaking down every aspect of the instructions 🏌🏼♂️⛳️🏆
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Well, I just don't think people understand it so if I can put it in simple terms that will help people get the concept or even what to do. Then a little practice and it takes their game to a whole new level.
Your explanation so good and easy to understand.thanks master paul

been working on these few tips recently and won my first medal on Saturday.. never understood my swing as much until I watched these videos.. outstanding
Nice work! I love hearing it. Keep at it. Simple is the key.
Thank you so much, Paul. For all the great tips. I did improved a lot in my swing.
Ever been in your car you give it gas you go backwards. That's the concept.
What a genius parable. Thanks a lot Paul 🙏
Glad you liked it! This is certainly the concept. Few fire the lower that hard though so they don't get it. In this case I make them manually tilt. This gets a big piece then they work on firing the lower so they don't hang back too much. Sometimes you need to work on things in steps.
Just tried this last night at the range. Works for me . Great tip
Good stuff. It's all about getting it and making that breakthrough.
I’m a newbie to golf and have really taken to your teaching style and approach to body mechanics. I like your sincere and genuine energy. One question: I’ve seen some videos that talk about hitting the “ball before the ground” and you are emphasizing hitting “behind”. Da you clarify? And thank you again. I’ll be going through all your videos and likely your course.
Thanks for the support. Yeah, I have seen those too. If that acutally worked wouldn't everyone be taking divots and hitting perfect shots? I am not hitting anything. The ball is hit first due to the right fundamentals. If you try to hit the ball you will be trying to figure this out for 30 years. Stop hitting the ball in any way with your arms and you will get it in no time.
I have tips on this here:
ruclips.net/video/EDlwfq_ZBvE/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/_ji_zykZlY8/видео.html
Thanks in advance for the support. I truly appreciate it.
Great lesson Paul. I always thought that keeping my head still, rigid in fact, was key. Watching this today has shown me why I have exactly what you describe - a push slice. Thank you for posting this and I will get to work on it.
Thanks so much. Too many people staying still with their heads. Move and like magic you feel way more power and get the club shallowing in the downswing. Keep at it.
I have watched this but kinda missed the points hahah.. Did not realise how important to let our head move a bit as we backswing, and let it stay there as we downswing, hence automatically creating shallowing of the club and the tilting of our head behind the ball, then magically our head will turn to the target automatically as the club force pull our body forward after the ball is hit. Effortless..! Thanks again, Coach!!!
And people wonder why I repeat stuff. Glad you got it this time. Stay focused cause this is very important.
Hi Paul I would like to thank you for your help you are definitely the best teacher I have EVER watched and now the only one I watch I was at 6 gone back to 9 but slowly getting there for about 6to 7 holes a round doing the effectless swing lol then hitting with arms but I definitely seeing the progress today I hit several drivers 250 metres so thank you SO MUCH best Intructer EVER
Wow, thanks! Glad you are heading in the right direction. Great feeling when you are on track that's for sure. Keep at it.
This was a great lesson and I will try to focus more on this tomorrow
One other issue I have or so it seems why I have a left pull or hook is I have a feeling my right arm / hand dominates my downswing and I close the face and come over the top.
Exactly right. So stop hitting. You need to check your grip and make it neutral. Then you would have strength in this hand to hit with: ruclips.net/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/видео.html watch this too: ruclips.net/video/K5wPQn-3Br4/видео.html
Paul.. Thank you for your valuable tips on golf... I am still trying to learn from you. Old habits die hard. Fighting against human nature.
This is why you should be doing daily practice swings at home without the ball.
I can see the light much better now can't wait to try it.
Very good. This is vital.
Thanks Paul. I have really been struggling with this. Will give it a go.
You can do it! This will dramatically change your game. Focus only on fixing this instead of working on too many things. Get this then move on.
@@paulwilsongolf So far just practice swings with no club in hand. Just trying to get used to the tilt on my downswing. Feels less tense and more powerful with a better release. Hoping this will improve my strike.
Oooh can’t wait to try this, another great tip Paul, the way you explain thing is so simple and relaxed. You remind me so much of my guidance counselor in junior high, the nicest guy John niebauhkee ( most likely not spelled correctly)
Glad you like the tips. Thanks so much.
Hi Paul been trying this for a couple of weeks. Its getting there, needs more work
Keep at it. The payoff will be there in no time.
Excellent recommendation Paul. I finally got something correct. Thanks again.
Perfect!
This is the key, i've struggling for years to overcome this. Thx Paul
Yes, big key here. You really need the right path. Get this and everything changes.
Paul, your instruction; amazing! You have a real talent on simplifying things. Thank you!
Thanks so much. Simple is the key for sure.
Just brilliant Paul! Thank you so much for sharing this tip. I had my best round for a long time yesterday by concentrating on this.
Fantastic! Great feeling when you are getting it. Now don't think you are invincible. You need to watch this: ruclips.net/video/cNhIyhi136E/видео.html
thankyou paul, another very useful tip that i will try next time i play, regards from england uk.
Very good. Attacking from the inside path will dramatically change your game.
Paul... I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 215 lbs. I'm a relatively muscular guy who loves to work out and is in good health. I can't tell you how badly it bugs me to see people half my size hitting it 300 yards and I'm skying the heck out of my balls 3 miles into the air and landing at only 200 yards. My iron game is money and my driver game stinks. Your loose wrist hinge philosophy, coupled with your awesome techniques are going to enable me to become a dominant ball striker. I'm so appreciative for your content. You are a God send!
Yes, you need to get the driver going. Problem is people want to kill it. This tightens the wrists. So as much as you want to kill it give up all control. ALL control. This will feel weird at first but in no time you will see amazing shots because they less you use your arms the more you use your body. Skying driver is the head getting ahead of the ball in the downswing so you sure are using your arms. Keep your head behind the ball in the downswing and you will never sky it. I still remember the last ball I ever skyed.
@@paulwilsongolf Got it! I've been at home nightly, loose wrists, succumbing to the new way, feeling relaxed and using my body. As soon as I wind up and rotate and let the wrists loose, I feel I can use that lag to generate some nice speed and hit properly. And yes, head is always now behind the ball. I'll let you know how I make out over the next month or so. I'm a quick learner. Thanks for your reply. You are phenomenal!
Thank You. Great explanation, looking forward to trying this out.
Glad it was helpful!
What a fantastic tip, if I’m ever in Vegas I am gonna sign up for your school
Glad you liked it. Thanks. For sure. Look me up.
Great Tip Paul!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Another great video, Paul. I was coming over the top... hitting big pushes with divot pointing left of target. I tried this tip and hit only two bad shots in 18 holes today. Great tip... Thank you!!!
Nice work! Not fun when you are coming over the top. Keep at it.
Yes i noticed the shadow of my head moving forward in a practice swing then i saw your video,problem solved.I,m also doing your other drills namely swing arc back and through and hip rotation drills,i can only get better.Beforehand i,d been watching every other teacher which only confuses you forgot to mention hitting balls feet together.thanks S/J
That's great to hear. This is a big one. Fix this and you have a whole new game.
I always enjoy watching your tips thanks for always sharing 😄
You are so welcome!
Thanks Paul! I really enjoy the videos. They are helping me a lot!
Glad you like them!
Great video Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thanks Paul. Good explanation and really help. Also when I am at the impact position, I will make sure that my hip turns at least 45 degree with my right heel up about 4 inches or so. In this way most of my shots are pretty straight.
Very good.
Ok, I always go back to these videos when I’m off and I’m losing track of which ones I’ve used and which are best for me. This was in the sequence I use.
I fire the hips, to keep behind the ball I tilt to my right because I was pulling dead straight left which was obviously coming over the top.
Now I have the problem with snaphooks😂. Tryin to figure how to get through the swing without goin back to over the top
Snap hook is simple. You are attacking too much from the inside and turning it over. Watch:

You tilted too much.
Great tip Paul thanks I need this thanks
Happy to help
Thanks Paul heading to the other lesson next.
Keep us posted. Don't work on too much at once.
Yes I need to do that with my head. I never thought it was a problem. Now I know.
Yes, move it.
Hi Paul. Another amazing video. Are we ever going to be treated to a video of you playing a full 18 hole round? Would love to see it.
It takes a lot to shoot and edit. Just doing these tips and answering questions takes a lot of effort. I will get out there at some point. For various reasons, I am working on my swing right now. Once I feel confident with it I will get out there. I have some good ideas for tips.
@@paulwilsongolf thank you for the reply! It would be great to see and I hope you can do it one day.
Great tip coach 👊
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much.
Love the videos.
Could you do a video on the main grip, stance and swing difference between irons, hybrids and driver?
Thanks. Here is the neutral grip I teach: ruclips.net/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/видео.html also, ruclips.net/video/o55Cl-byCq8/видео.html
excellent lesson..i will try it...
Please do! Path is vital for great shots.
My golf buddies just told me the other day that I need to work on this. I'm shooting around 80 from the tips (about 7,100 yds) at the course I belong to and I'm just 1 or 2 really bad shots away from shooting in the low 70s but I can't get away from the huge miss due to my over the top swing (also get accused of swinging similar to Furyk). I'm going to work on this as much as I can. Never had a lesson but I'm coachable...lol.
You are doing well for no lessons. Where are the bad shots going. This will determine what you need to do to fix them. Having a Furyk swing isn't a bad thing as he is one of the most consistent golfers of all time plus as he takes it way outside he drops it inside coming down which allows it to be on the inside out path. If you do have a Furyk move then make sure you are looping it from outside to in to get the path. Also, following this tip will do the trick too. Keep in mind too that if you have a unique swing and start to make changes your 80 could easily turn into 90 as the new swing will feel totally different. Make subtle changes. You change the whole think right now and it could be trouble.
@@paulwilsongolf the bad shots are mostly pull hooks but can occasionally be a huge high slice.
The pull hooks are you starting it down with your arms. There is no slice spin though so you are releasing the club. If your wrists were locked you would be pull slicing it. So you have half right on those shots. You need to start your lower body first to straighten out the pull hook. The slice is you hitting so hard you are coming out of the shot. This locks your wrists and you get the slice spin. So if you see that shot slow down. Feel loose wrists before hitting your next shot.

Another great tip. Can"t wait to try staying back. I have been swing in the yard and it seems to send the club head to the right. my question is. Is the clubface square to target at address? Thanks again.
Fix the path. If you are overdoing it then you will see it swing right. Once you have ingrained this simple turn more to hit it straight. Yes, the face would be square to the target at address.
Great Video, Paul! I guess that´s true for short irons and wedges as well, right?
Yes, absolutely. But the amount of tilt varies with how hard you fire the lower body. Wedges = not so much tilt. Watch this too: ruclips.net/video/BZD0_jPL8ks/видео.html
I was wondering why i was hitting pulls and pull slices now i know why i think its all about tilt and staying behind the ball gonna try that head drill next time at the range
Yep. Tilt left = swing left. Sooooooo tilt right.
Paul, great advice! I come over the top with my driver constantly. I just want to make sure I could swing the irons like this also? Thanks again!
Try these too:

@paulwilsongolf Hey Paul, you are a lifesaver! I went out 2 days ago and hit 8 out of 9 greens ! Never came close to that. And your right effortless. One thing I get stuck in my head is if I aimed correctly . I feel like sometimes I'm blocking my shot to the left. I'm left handed any tips to help me maybe stop thinking about it so much? Thanks again!
Glad you are doing well. You need to work on your alignment every time you are swinging a club. Watch:

That is a very good tip holding your head back.I remember i had a paperback golf book and one of the tips was hitting past the chin a tip you don,t hear about nowadays which i think is the same as holding your head back not drifting forward,am i right.S/J.
Exactly right. Drifting forward is a serious issue that people seem to want to keep teaching. Good luck stopping an over the top swing if you are thinking like that.
Paul! Come back to Kingston for a week please!!! Great video man. Maybe I will hit a fairway this weekend. Hard to believe it's been 25 years since played Cat.
Thanks. Probably not going to get that way anytime soon. Was it 25 years ago. Wow. Now that's crazy.
Hi Paul
Love your instruction. I have changed my golf swing by watching your videos. I have been an arm swinger all my golfing life. It is very difficult to know what to do with your arms on the downswing . Cannot seem to stiop bringing them into the hitting area. Please assist.
Many thanka
You are doing nothing with your arms. In the downswing they are powerless. You need to watch more of my tips. Work on the arms as a unit. You do the neutral grip. The wrists hinge and reghinge. A hinge is loose. You then connect this arm unit to your body which coils and uncoils. That is the most simple image you need to have. ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html go against human nature.
First class presentation Paul! Thanks for sharing! One question if i may please. Today i tried to get right knee kicking in but struggled to do this.
Having now seen this video i wonder if my not staying behind the ball longer means it is more difficult to push off the right foot/kick in with the right knee or am i just not getting it ?
You need to stay behind it as you fire the lower. If not, you will come over the top so you need to keep working on this. Give it more than one try. Anytime I change anything I think 1 month until I can groove it. Just look at the back of the ball as you fire the lower and hit the shot. If so, it will keep you behind it without thinking about it. This is one of the ways I got it years ago.
Lmao...it’s funny that every bad scenario you described was me!!! Very good explanation of exactly what it is you’re doing in the swing. I’ve taken lessons and my instructor didn’t get as in depth as your videos....and the sad part is that this video is free.
Glad you enjoyed it! I just say things in a certain way. I need it to make sense. Glad you got more out of it. Now it's up to you to do it.
How about irons and fairways woods? Do i tilt too?
You sure do. Fat shots: ruclips.net/video/UwynwFBldv4/видео.html
Can u make a video of your swing in slow motion aerial or from top of your head? Thanks.
I have a top down here:
ruclips.net/video/b7sboTQf9yw/видео.html
This tip has helped me from topping my drives. Do you keep your head behind with 3 and 5 woods as well.
You keep your head behind with all clubs but the harder you drive the lover the more your body tilts. So a wedge would be way less than driver.
