So glad you tried it. Most are trying to tell everyone else to bend over too much. This will only lead to a bad back. I want people to learn a swing for life.

Glad it helped. I remember those days teeing off with a 3 iron cause driver was so bad. Need to learn to hit driver for sure. So much more fun. Super loose wrists and use your body to hit it not your arms.

Thanks, will do!

So glad you found this one. Not fun when you are not hitting driver. Get this and your whole game will change.

Many thanks! It is tricky for some to let go. They just need to try it for more than 3 balls. 1 bucket should show anyone that swinging looser will hit it just as long if not longer than swinging harder.

Thanks so much.

That's great. You are on your way. 80's won't be a problem. Breaking 80 is very exciting. Stay focused and do lots of practice swings at home if you can't make it to the range. It is all about repetition.

Great to hear! Glad you found me. Now you're going to have a lot more fun out there.

Great job! This will be a big relief to you so you can start playing great golf.

yo we got the same prob

Great to hear! Please keep doing it and please keep letting others know about it. I want to start a revolution so people actually start getting better. The snowball has just started down the hill.

Thank you so much.

Very good. Love hearing it. Try to remember this for the future and please keep watching my tips and telling others about them.

Glad you liked it. Some many people are trying to hit down on the ball which is totally wrecking their swings. Stay focused. Big things to come for you this season.

Very good. That's what I like to hear.

Thanks. I appreciate the support.

Glad it helped.

Thanks for the support.

You really are Paul. Big fan from Scotland. Wish I could get some real life lessons from you!

Thanks so much. I think I am getting a following in Scotland. Glad to help.

Thanks. There are a lot of people in this boat. Hopefully this can get them on track. Not fun when you're not hitting driver well.

Glad you enjoyed it! Glad the tips are resonating with you. Just follow along and I will get you there.

Thanks so much. Quite a few tips on the channel now. Try to check out some more if you need help.

Glad to help. At some point enough people will start doing this so we can get rid of this technical stuff once and for all. I thought it was about making people better. How can making it technical make the average person better. It will never happen. How do it know? Cause it hasn't happened yet and they have been teaching this stuff since I started playing. Once people switch to "simple" they start understanding it and playing great golf.

I told some of the guys I play with, to go watch your videos, hopefully they make the switch. One of the benefits that I have noticed is, my lower back doesn’t hurt anymore.. I’m 57 years old, I know I’m not that old, but I want to be able to play golf as long as I can and not be in pain. Thank you. Al

Glad to help

Glad you like them. thanks. Simple is the key for sure. So glad you loosened up and now see that this is the way to do it. That's what it's all about for me. I just need people to understand it and try it. If so, they will hit it so much better and they will be able to do it for life. Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.

Glad to hear that!

Great to hear! This is big because there is nothing worse that not being able to hit driver. That is the most important part of the game. Sets you up to hit greens and make putts.

Glad you found this one. Not fun not hitting driver great. Simple change and you will get it.

Glad you found this one. Not fun not hitting driver great. Stay focused. This will get you back in no time.

Glad you liked it. Thanks. It has helped a ton of people.

Glad you liked this one. Vital that you hit driver well. I say it's the most important club in the bag. So definitely keep working on this. Couple with your short game you should be a good player into the future. Watch these: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itOaibCF3622ook.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbGbfdClqMeadKs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9yhbJWkp7fdhWg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJedhph82p61YWQ.html

Glad I could help

Glad it was helpful!

Exactly. Remember that next time you are out there.

For sure. Got to hit driver well. This sets you up in great position for your approach shots. Too many people want to swing it as hard as they can. It is not about strength it is about technique. Give this a try because you need to be swinging driver on a flatter plane around your body. Watch this too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpt7bLZq28DNfmQ.html Think like that with all clubs.

Simple yet effective. Not fund when you are not hitting driver well.

Thanks so much. Putting is so easy. Target oriented. Forget your stroke. Right palm to the target like you are throwing a ball. Putt long putts 30+ feet and 6 feet and in. That's it. Do that and you will be great.

Glad you found me and are doing well. Keep at it.

Definitely. I see a lot off people doing this. Make this change and driver is so easy to hit.

As for the takeaway just watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqyam5yVrNG-iHU.html You need loose wrists for sure. Then around and around. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpt7bLZq28DNfmQ.html

Best of luck!

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. The result was... driver good, irons bad 😄 I'll go back to the original video! 😅

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

It should. Just get used to the new taller feeling.

Glad you like it!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

I am always a watching. Glad you are getting it.

Great. Stay focused and you will get it.

Glad you found this one. You will be hitting the driver great in no time. You've got this.

Glad you found this one. Super easy to fix driver. Just imagine if it was 30 feet long how would you take it back? Around and around. That is the key.

Glad you think so! Got to get the driver working that's for sure. Most important club in the bag.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Very good. Great feeling when you start hitting driver well. Keep at it.

Glad it was helpful!

For sure. Anything that gets you thinking this way is good. Too many people are way too tight. Just need to do it differently.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Glad you like it. Yes, I don't candy coat it. Give this a try. Easy to hit driver (not when you are too tilted though).

Great to hear! Driver is a breeze. What are you doing with it?

@@paulwilsongolf thx Paul. I believe that it’s a breeze. Just have to get in the right position to visually see it !! . Seems like I’m hitting on the top of the club face. Overall a weak strike of the ball as well. Which makes me think I need to stand up a bit more like the video states.

@@paulwilsongolf hey Paul went and played nine early this morning. I started teeing the ball real low for driver. I was hitting real food drives that way the ball was Almost to the ground. And was hitting in the middle of the club. Maybe next time I’ll try bending knees more lower. Obv I’m hitting on top of club

You need to move your head back as you swing back. Nose should be over your right instep at the top. Keep it there as you swing down and through. This way you will make perfect contact. Right now you are not moving your head back and it is moving forward in the downswing. Watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eOBymsyGzd_Wcmg.html

@@paulwilsongolf LOL I’m way out of position!! I always say that little white ball don’t lie !!! I’m playing in morning. See how it goes !! Ty sir

Let me know how you did.

Glad you liked it. Give it a try.

Glad you found me. Now let's get you hitting that driver.

I also think I don't stand tall enough either. Things to work on now.

Yes, try standing taller but not too tall. Athletic. Like someone is going to throw you a basketball. Then put your hands together and look down until you can see the club and ball clearly not your toes.

Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.

@@paulwilsongolf I'm playing right now. I just can't hit my driver still. Keeps going left

Here you go: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLVybMqWp8jddnU.html Also do the neutral grip here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLeKf9Npx6yRh6s.html

@@paulwilsongolf thank you for all your great videos

Very good. That's all I want people to do it try it for more than 3 balls and quit. If so, you will see some amazing shots and hopefully keep doing it.

@@paulwilsongolf I have good news to report, Mr. Wilson... So, I went to my local course. Grabbed a range bucket and chipped for about 2 hours, then hit the range with my bucket of balls. Man, I could not, NOT hit it straight. I've never hit the ball so well in my life. And I was darting them too. Turns out the local high school golf coach was right behind me on the tees. Tells me he's jealous of my swing. I ran into Butch Haverland, a PGA certified golf pro, in the parking lot and he agreed to coach me. THEN, a buddy gave me a smoking deal on a 52 degree Titleist Vokey later that night... Best day of golf I had all year and I didn't even play a hole. But THEN, I go to league on Monday (tough as nails 9 hole course). I shoot 4 over, but I hit the fairway EVERYTIME with my driver (7 out of 9). The other two holes were par 3s and I unfortunately did not hit those well off the tee. (Yet)... All because I watched a handful of your videos and "oiled" my wrists, man. The slice is gone. Thanks Paul! Taking that "can of WD-40" everywhere with me now! ;)

@@paulwilsongolf P.S. At the range, I used a long ruler as an alignment stick. (Key for consistency). Also, made sure to position the ball just off my left hell for woods, and about 3 balls in for my irons (adjusting the right foot to suit the club face for each).

Thanks so much. Some people didn't seem to get the point. If I can have an effortless swing and hit the ball a long way then why would you keep trying to kill it? I can do this for life. Watch this one too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ-apZZ4lqyqZoE.html

@@paulwilsongolf Paul incredible video. I have been struggling with my driver for 3 years and I was ready to quit. You by far have been the most resourceful coach on KZfaq. Simple to the point

Thanks so much. I just say it differently. From lesson one I always though fast and easy. So 30 years later I know what works and what doesn't. I see everyone else getting complicated. Fine by me because I know people will never get it so they will find me at some point. I used to make it complicated measuring every angle when I was learning the swing. This got me nowhere. Once I make it simple ... I got it. 3 things. That's it. Stay focused and keep at it. You will start playing great golf if you do.

Glad you found me. Give this a try. If this doesn't fix it let me know. Driver is easy to fix.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I would be mastering this drill. I call it taming the wild stallion (you). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbyYp69eyZemaY0.html

Glad to help. Hitting driver is fun and vital as it sets you up for your approach shot. Keep it simple. Seems like you see what you were doing wrong. Stand tall and you will get it. Just remember to power your swing with the legs and hips as I show in my other tips. Do that and you will be well on your way to learning the right fundamentals.

@@paulwilsongolf This was the first video of yours that I found! But I subscribed to your channel so that I could watch your other videos!! I've already seen some titles of a few your videos that I need to watch, like the one on consistently squaring the club face!! Hahaha!! Thanks again Paul!! Not just for your reply, but for not forgetting about us newbies getting started in golf!!

Glad you liked it. What does that mean? I am not allowed to show emotion and get into it? I actually do want people to get it. That is why I work tirelessly on tips and answering questions. I guess I just have to show no emotion and be like everyone else. Not.

I can't really change it. I have it set to automatically place the ad. Yes, definitely taller with driver. I just posted this one that goes hand in hand with that one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itOaibCF3622ook.html It may help you get through it better but you really need to be telling yourself to do it. Try this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMqgm9eZqLedhoE.html with the taller set up it should be a breeze.

Very good. This is one of my main concepts. This will also generate speed with minimal effort. This way you will have a swing for life. Keep at it.

Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.

Glad you see it. You have been hitting driver well these days so you are on track. Keep working on it.

Glad to help. A lot of people are in this boat. Now you see it's and around and around not and up and down.

Right. So you roll your wrists and get it hooking. Once you can do that you switch to firing the legs and hips to straight it out. Slice spin in not good. You never square the face. A hook you square the face then go beyond but at least you square it.

Did you check out this one? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbB_pMJ9tJzTgps.html

It sure does. Too many people are way too tilted.

Thanks. No other color. They only sell red shirts here in Vegas.

@@paulwilsongolf watching another of your videos you say people are saying you repeat things. I personally am glad you do cause sometimes we aren't ready for the info compared to where we are in our learning of the golf swing. Thank you for all ur help!

Quit trying to hammer it. Stay loose and let it release.

If you are hitting with the open face your wrists are too tight. You need to roll it from the top and start hooking it. Once you can do that you switch to body to straighten it out.

@@paulwilsongolf I used to be a 7 (last July) now a 15.... horrible. Almost quit, but I promised myself to work on it for a yr.....so we'll see

This is so easy to fix. It won't take a year. Maybe a couple of weeks. Get the thing hooking first. Then you know what you are going to do before you do it. It means you are releasing the club but you are doing it earlier than necessary. Once you get that you start switching to firing the lower body to straighten it out. So you fire the lower a little and watch your ball. It will start to get closer to the line. Add more and it gets closer and so on. Blow it right that's too much body so you slow down. In other words you are using your ball as a gauge to tell you how much body. If you start putting slice spin on it you go back to rolling early. Hopefully, you are doing my neutral grip. Then do this drill and watch the face: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hax6gq9zuL63loU.html Then roll it from the top and get it consistently hooking (this is step 1): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btifkpR_vrbIaJc.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdSBZamXybemdKM.html Once you can consistently hook it you start to add body to straighten it out (step 2). To do that, you can use this trigger: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMqgm9eZqLedhoE.html So simple. Watch how as I can cure slicers in the 2 videos on this page. If interested, you can pick up my cure your slice video: www.paulwilsongolf.com/cure-slice

I get it. I'll send pic of my grip. I think it's perfect, no pro has ever suggested a change ....so I have that going for me......lol

@@paulwilsongolf man, you replied much in detail and thought for a stranger on the internet. You are an awesome guy and deserve your success 100%

No issues really. Seems like you understand it. Yes, I would get a new driver. Try a bunch. If you can get professionally fitted that would be good. Find the one you love the look of, the sound, the feel and of course the shaft.

@@paulwilsongolf Fair enough, and yeah, I do understand it. I have a local custom fitter selected to assist with the driver search, he boasts 30+ years in the industry. I am NOT going the big box store route.

Good choice. Those guys actually care.

Glad you like the tips. I appreciate the support. As for driver you need to get it going one way so you know where it's going to go before you hit it. You hit it everywhere and you have no idea where it's going. So I get everyone hooking it. This is a manual rolling of the face getting it to go low (due to rolling and delofting) and with hook spin (which tells you the face is square to the path at some point in the path). I have tons of tips on this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g55ma7SkudKrpGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqmdLaetODPgJs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOeerBn3rSbaWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r651qZp4nsCZXWQ.html This is step 1. Can't get to step 2 without mastering step 1. So do this daily in practice swings. I have literally had people master this in 4 repetitions. It feels weird and you not hitting perfect shots. get every ball hooking. Once you can do that you keep this feeling as you start to switch to the legs and hips. Fire a little and you will see the ball get closer to the line. DO NOT fire full out. Watch your ball. The more you fire the lower the closer to the line. If you blow it right back up and start rolling in practice swings so you loosen your wrists back up. If you blow the next one right then go back to step 1 and start hooking it again. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMqgm9eZqLedhoE.html This shows you what to do: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLKjnqqqnNjZnKM.html

I don't want people hitting anything. Some pros have a descending blow others are ascending. This is relative to your body tilt at impact. Just work on the fundamentals and see what you have. Then adjust the body tilt if necessary. Up takes spin off. Down adds spin.

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. Your the greatest.

Easy to fix. Try this tip for sure. I would do this one too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqeVndl1x93DkXU.html

What is happening is you get all hyped up when hitting driver so when you go back to irons you are trying to hit them with the arms. The harder you hit, the tighter you will be, the more you will look to see what you hit. So stick with the irons then when you move to driver start out slowly and gradually increase ONLY your legs and hips for more power. When you go back down to irons keep the same feeling of relaxed arms. If you find yourself topping it tee it up a half inch. There is no point topping it. Get the ball airborne then lower the tee. You should be working on this too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsWgeZqpkrWniIk.html

i was way to tight i was keeping the face opening.Now im hitting the ball effortless i dont even feel the ball anymore when i hit it I call it feels like butter

working on the short game now thats were the good scoring comes in at..Got any short game tips? phil always said dont bring it back as far an speed up through impact to make sure you release it to control the shot

Very good. Butter is the key word.

Depends what part of the short game you are after and how much I want to give away.

You are trying to hit driver too hard. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNt_fdunxJiWeJ8.html Swing it with super loose arms. In no time you will be killing it. Just try it.

It sure can. It's even easier. Watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbGbfdClqMeadKs.html

This is a really dependent on hand size. Larger hands and mid size are fine. I'm 5'10" with regular size hands. I use Tour Wrap R60 with 2 wraps of tape under them. I don't like Jumbo grips unless the person has arthritis so bad they have to use them. The wider the grip the slower the hand action. I would go to a fitter or golf store and have them take a look. They can make sure you are using the proper grip size.

It is a turn and a shift at the same time. I am not thinking shift. I am thinking turn knowing the shift will happen if I end up on the tip of the back toe. Not sure what part of this tip you are referring to. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/beBlmLiUuN3Qg58.html

I did a tip on this here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd5mZ7aHv8DSdok.html Glad you are doing well. Keep at it.

You're trying to hit it way too hard. Why not swing easy and actually accomplish something? Once you get it, speed up your legs and hips for more power. Hitting with the arms will never work so you need to do something different. Arm unit hinges and rehinges. Wrists are loose to allow this to happen. So you work it back and forth feeling your wrists loosen up. This is a big part of my teaching: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g55ma7SkudKrpGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqmdLaetODPgJs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOeerBn3rSbaWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r651qZp4nsCZXWQ.html Once you get that you switch to the legs and hips. Here is the easy way: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMqgm9eZqLedhoE.html That is what hits the ball not your arms. Try this and see what happens: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ethjktd207DZfJc.html Also, watch how little effort I can put into it to get serious power: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8V8ipqf0prXo58.html

Think of the ball sitting at 12 o'clock. This would be the face pointed down the target line or square. Now open the face by pointing it towards 1 o'clock. That would be open relative to the target line (where you want to hit the ball). If the face is open you will most likely put slice spin on it unless you counter act it by rolling the face closed through impact.

That is not necessarily why you are hitting it too high. Watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsCbdbNjlsi0eok.html

Not sure 43" would be an issue. Mine is 44" Just feel taller like I said in the tip and go around and around.

Well ... you know ... I do put more into it with driver. Don't we all? Just have to know what is too much.

By "more into it" you mean more leg and hip drive?

It sure does. You should watch this too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptB_i6t6vLucoKc.html

He had less backspin on his shot.

Didn't even think about it until you brought it up. I see students do that all the time so I am sure to give them room.
