Hi Paul! I have been practicing every day all of your fantastic drills and this is by far the best instruction ever. I wanted to contact you and let you know that as I was applying your tips in my backswing to cure my club from “laying off at the top” and I noticed something spectacular after looking in the mirror at myself. That is when I take the club all the way back (like you say) to the the top of my backswing, I simply point the butt of the grip directly to the right of me (for a right handed golfer) parallel to my target line and it puts me in a perfect position at the top! I think this is a fantastic “tip” you can add to one of your videos. Thanks again and I just wanted to point this out to you.
Hi Paul…love the message….I was reading in your book, and you shared that “when we are laid off, we tend to pull the ball, and when we are across the line at the top of our backswing, we tend to hit more in to out”…….can you please explain why this is the case?
cheers
Andrew

Paul WilsonThat’s great news. To bad I already did this tip. You can see it here:

Now you just have to keep doing it. Keep up the good work.

StianOttersenCan it cause high shots also because the club gets too steep?
