Hi Paul. I have to share this with you. I am 63 yrs old and didn’t take up golf until age 58. About a month ago I adopted your approach primarily to back issues. Today I played 18 with 3 guys in their 30s. I never missed a fairway off the tee and either kept even or out drove these younger guys. They accused me of using an illegal driver because “there is no way you can hit the ball that far with that slow mellow swing”. I use a 2019 Epic Flash driver, hardly illegal. 1 guy was using a Stealth II and the others were using the new Paradyme driver. I’m still laughing and getting ready for a nice steak dinner with the $20 apiece they coughed up because an old man beat them by 3 strokes. Thought you might enjoy hearing this. Thanks againSo much for your dedication to the game!

Hi Paul - hats off to you for being able to hit these difficult shots and teaching us how to do the same. As for where I am on the golf swing learning spectrum, I am going to nail the Body Swing hitting it as straight as I can on a fairly consistent basis before I delve into the area of hitting draws. Once again, your imagery and ability to simplify complex topics are spot on! Thanks, Dan

Well when needed you need to do the fake draw. The real draw takes serious work. To do what I call the fake draw just aim the face where you want the ball to land. Aim your body right. Swing right. If so the ball will hook back because the face is preset closed.

This is the way to do it. I learned this shot because it's necessary if you want to turn it over AND hit it high. Pulls never go high. This push draw is actually going to go the furthest as well because you're taking off spin and launching it higher.

He said what you just said, he strengthens his grip very slightly but instead of using the bowling analogy he said he imagines a clock and tries to hit the ball to 1:00. (He’s a right hander) Really enjoy your tips/lessons, thank you.

Lol! I’m a beginner golfer and I was consistently hitting a pull hook and couldn’t figure out why. I thought about aligning my direction to the far right just so i can make the fairway. Then I started aligning my shoulders so that impact was earlier in my swing and now I’m hitting straight draws without changing my foot alignment. It’s the easiest shot in my limited repertoire. 😂

Well, you seem to be on track now which is a good thing. Just realize that if you start hitting you will hit it left. That is the sign. So as soon as you see a shot like that do practice swings at knee high with loose arms. This will allow you to feel the legs and hips powering the swing. Then you step up and apply this feeling to your shots. Boom! Draw is back.

Hi Paul. Great tip but having trouble understanding the correct wrist movement needed at the top of the swing to enable the club face to be slightly closed at impact. Is there a swing thought I can use to get the correct wrist angle so the face is presented to the ball slightly closed to the path ? Thanks as always for posting these tips 👍

Hello Paul. Love your stuff. I like to hit a fade. I stand open, aim club face at target, then feel I'm just turning back and through with quiet hands. My bad shots with Driver are Pull, or high cutting shot. My thoughts are, maybe standing too open. or taking club back too much inside, or opening club face in take away. Any help much appreciated

Glad you are doing well. The pull is you just releasing it a little early. Probably trying to give it a little extra. We are all guilty of doing that. Face has to be open to the path. If you try to hold it off though you get the high right. So I would be practicing daily with an alignment stick on the ground. Aim it down the left side of the fairway and face slightly open. If you aim too much and face too much open your doing to have issues. We are talking a few degrees here.

Thanks man great work this an area that I fight…. Left on left….. the grip is my key… if keep my swing to what I think is 80% it seem towork… over swinging.. causes me the pull hook…. is my killer and left left rears it’s ugly head

Exaclty. The pulls are you trying to give it more with the arms. In doing so you tilt left sending it over the top. You need to watch this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/laOb28hvhc2uZ7g.html Simple physics. So into the future stick to 80%. This is what I do.

Hey Paul, what do you say to those proponents of the Modern Swing who say keep the face square and just turn with the body? All the best pros these days don't really have the flip release you teach.

@paulwilsongolf

2 жыл бұрын

Here is what I say: I find it funny how some pros start doing this "modern" swing (that I tried 20 years ago) and now that seems to be the swing. Also, funny how none of them are dominating the tour. Then along comes Scottie Scheffler doing and traditional swing and dominates. Why on earth would I ever want to teach people this new "modern" swing? My students are not pros. My students are typically older (60+). Imagine a 75 year trying to do that swing. Their wrists are already locked and they can't turn with any kind of speed. How is that person going to ever hit it anywhere doing that swing? Plus, they literally practice 20 mins before they go to play. My teaching is based on Iron Byron. The hinge on the machine is loose so that is what I'm going to teach. Oh yeah, the machine is 100% and it was modeled after arguably the best golfer of all time. I wouldn't say my release is a flip release (this is a made up description to create a negative). The wrists are loose and arms powerless. Flipping would be the person actively flipping it which is not what I teach. Now if someone is slicing and I want them to hook it I need them to purposely roll it for a while until they can hook it. Once they can they are turning their arms off and using their body. So they are not using their arms and they have no flip. I have been teaching the same way for 31+ years now. I get unreal results super fast. I know my students and what they are capable of even doing. The swing I teach is for life. Anyone of any age can do it forever. This is what I do and if anyone wants to come and see me in action they can. So those are my thoughts about the new "modern" swing. I remember when Byron Nelson came out with the "modern" swing due to the change from hickory to steel shafts which created the best golfers of all time. I guess that's not so modern anymore. Be interesting to see who these new young guys stack up to the likes of the past greats. I know who my money is on.

Do you open the club face (aiming right) at setup or is it aimed at the target? I guess it has to be slightly open at impact for the ball to start right of target… And is it the same with a fade, or do I have to open the stance when playing a fade? Thank you for a great channel

I prefer straight or fading but most people need distance so I don't mind them trying to draw it. Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. Be careful not to get confused. There is a lot of info out there. Just keep it simple.

The "push" draw has always been my natural shot shape...even when I first started. For me its my default shot. I know its a real draw because it starts right of my target line and tuns back. What I have NEVER been able to do is hit a fade on command. That shot is almost impossible for me to hit.

@paulwilsongolf

That's because you attack from the inside. You would have to play a push fade as Couple did for year. Got to aim way left though. Not sure you want to hit that shot. Be tricky if you have played that push draw for a long time. If you want to try this then aim the face at the target. Body left where you want it to start. Hit the top of your backswing and to start down think TURN. You turn and the club will swing left not too much from the inside. This should allow you to hit it.

I have argued this point in the past and I do not have time to keep arguing it with you. Yes, a real or true draw is a push draw. On tour this is the draw they hit. They do not aim right and pull hook it left. Just look at shot tracer. The ball 99 out of 100 times starts right and draws left. So what you are saying is if I pull hook it and aim right it is now a draw. Think not. It is still a pull hook. If you think a draw is easier to hit than a fade keep thinking that cause every person I talk to who went from a draw to a fade would disagree and I've been around golf for quite a while. Also, interesting why mist tour players are fading it now. Had one guy seem to think it was cause of the new equipment. Really? Yeah right. So this will be my only response.
