Paul your creating problems with my game, I'm a golfer with a solid 18 handicap that has recently retired and joined a league, after discovering your videos a couple of months ago my scores have dropped about 8 strokes, needless to say I have won my flight 3 weeks in a row and everyone thinks I was sandbagging on my handicap, I would like to thank you for your great video instructions and the problems that they may cause! Keep up the good work.

Those are the problems I like to create. Such a good feeling when you are improving.

You are the Man Paul Wilson !!! I wish I had spent 3 hours and 40 minutes on the golf course instead of snow throwing my driveway. Chicago snow is an SOB this year. Loving the lessons and tips Paul... Thanks man !!!

Glad to help. Thanks for the support. Winter sucks that's for sure. Just keep working on it indoors with practice swings. Then next year you will have you best season.

sorry about last comment i have been having lessons and I must admit this tip sounds logical and worth trying and the pga professional explained that i sway to much and his great this tip sounds that it will help me as i hit that golf ball well right or a nasty hook I have stopped competition golf until i feel confident i am over 25 in handicap and stressing out

Glad you are going to try it. If you are hooking it without trying to hook it you have a grip problem. You need to watch and work on these tips asap: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIWOrtJxkqmTh9o.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/ip9r1puyeKa1Xaw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5ODkqprgbGsn5M.html Once you get this working you couple it with your body coiling and uncoiling.

I love it with the camera as a first person point of view. Now we can really see what it looks like as a golfer!

Very good. The best time to practice is with no ball. Might need a light behind you so you can see your shadow clearly. Fix this and next season will be great.

Another great tip also the timing you mentioned about after three quarter back swing hips move and turn which must create a fantastic lag

Easy way to do it if you are not filming your swing.

I found the most effective way to prevent a sway was your tip recommending slightly pressing the knees inward at address to stabilize the base while coiling the shoulders and arms.

Hey Paul, I love your work, you're the number one teacher in the world in my opinion. One issue that's been overlooked in golf teaching literature, is the early extension (i.e. "humping the goat", i.e not turning the lead hip backward as the trail hip rotates forward, causing the upper body to rise and promoting an, out to in, weak slice). In my collection of golf instruction books, (I own 200+ works dating from over the last 100 years), I cannot find a single discussion or drill on this, yet I see 90% of my fellow amateurs suffer from it. Can you help? Thanks, Marcus

@paulwilsongolf

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. Early extension is tricky. I fixed one student in 5 mins. Just told him to focus on his right leg and keep it bent throughout the whole swing. If you are jumping up the leg would straighten. Keep it bent and you can 't jump (early extend) do a before and after and if it works for you I will do a tip on it.

Another great tip Paul. So simple to work on, I just wish I lived in Vegas to actually get a shadow I live in UK lol 🇬🇧

Yes. Been a while since I was back. We moved to Canada when I was baby. IT's great when I teach people from the UK. I feel a connection.

Yes, when shifting the wrong way one would have to place the ball back in stance or more forward depending on what they’re doing, in the process of losing power, accuracy and distance, could be a huge divot there somewhere too. Thank you.

Yes, and we don't want to be moving the ball around to fix our flaws.

Paul, I never thought I would try to use my shadow to cure a swing problem; playing when I see my shadow has always been disturbing, espacialy on certain courses. My sway problem, on the coiling part of the swing, is managable & I mostly do what you suggested to another viewer & concetrate on my right leg to stay bent. My problem with swaying is on the uncoiling part or the take down portion of the swing. Since using my shadow in this situation would probably made me hit a bad shot (hey, I found another excuse for my missed shots:), is there a simple drill I could try? Thank's for your suggestions on a previous post!

This is the most popular trigger with my students: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJikytahc7SfhrA.html The do this to get the feeling of what the legs and hips do: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aa5px7ecg9rSg84.html

Paul, good tips.... also, when I practiced, it looks like that, for backswing, I use my shoulders and chest to drive my hips to the top of backswing. For downswing, in order to prevent my hips turning too fast, I use abs to drive my hips and legs to swing. My arms are powerless and total passive from the top of backswing to the impact. Is it correct? Thanks

@paulwilsongolf

Well shoulders going back for sure. If you start it down that way and it works then keep doing it. I think about my legs and feet in the downswing. Up to you.

Exactly. You will only be able to work on this 3 times a year.

When you uncoil and shift your weight, do you push off using your back foot to your front foot? Or just think about just rotating the hips? thanks! Great tips as always!
