TESTIMONIALS
Firstly I have to say a big thanks. I have tried a variety of lessons etc and have never had any consistency in the past. The image of the swing machine and swinging through to the follow through has transformed my golf and I have dropped 10 stokes by my third round and it would be quite a bit lower if I didn’t have the odd mishit. I have signed up for the member section as an extra thanks.

Paul’s teaching is the clearest, simplest (though not exactly easy!) that I’ve ever found. This subscription is probably the best investment that I’ve ever made in my golf game.
Thanks.

You are the ONE GUY I identify and like to learn from. I have gone from a 7 to a 3.4 with your instruction over the last two years. Would you update me if you have moved to another site with you tips?

Paul,
Thanks for assistance. Also want to express my thanks for your wonderful web site and time and effort creating all the great instruction videos and your method of teaching.
At 60 years of age, I’m just beginning my golf experience and have found your site the most beneficial for helping me hit the ball better and more consistently.

Hi Paul. I had an opportunity to play a round of golf with some friends yesterday and used the recent tips for increasing club head speed. The results were almost miraculous. My drives had been consistently in the 200 to 220 yard range. With the relaxed wrists, arms, and a shorter backswing to keep my left arm straight, I had multiple drives in the 245 range and a couple at 260 yards. My friends were impressed with my balance, which has always been a problem because I try to muscle the ball out there.
Best Regards,

You ROCK!!!
You are fantastic — you got my hips going. I hit some shots today that I’ve never hit in my life. I love your videos which I found on You Tube.

Hello Mr. Wilson,
I’m Jose Ballesteros, from Puerto Rico (I’m related to the later Seve Ballesteros, so when I took golf lessons, the expectations were a little high for everyone). Yet, my golf swing was very inconsistent and very far from accurate, so I got to this road block were I had no idea on how to improve my swing and got very frustrated.
I found about your golf training videos on YouTube. I stumbled across many, many instruction videos before and none of them had the effect yours had. I can’t explain how much I improved my swing just by letting my arm loose, applying lag and touching both legs together. The difference is unbelievable! And I’m not taking about going over and over to the range and applying your technique. I’m taking about an instant improvement!
Last time I went to the range, out of 50 balls, I can proudly say 35-40 were amazing shots, thanks to you! (Those were iron shots, I still need to work on my driver because when I was taught, we never got to it).
I have a friend who plays very, very good and he was in shock about how much I improved my game just by following your tips! (Actually, all my golf buddies were in awe!). At the range my friend and I were both hitting balls at the same time, using the same iron, and both balls were practically flying together in unison next to each other!
I know you must be very busy, but I just wanted to thank you for improving my swing! I really can’t thank you enough!
Regards,
Jose Ballesteros
Hey, love the way Paul teaches the game. Was a Revolution Golf member until Paul left them. Found Ignition Golf and am a happy camper again.

Dear Paul,
I want to thank you for all the help you are giving me. You have been the most wonderful coach! I have had golf lessons all my life but no one has managed to simplify things the way that you do.
I have seen most of your videos and they really are marvelous and I think that you should receive a medal for all your kindness and good work.
If you are ever in Dubai please let me know as I would love to have a lesson or two!
Best wishes

Thanks. Still far from single digits, but I feel like there’s no reason I can’t get back there. Like I said, the good shots are really good. I’m now hitting 3 Wood where I used to hit driver when I was a 9 handicap. And, using a stiff shaft which I never used.
I’ve told lots of people about Ignition Golf. Hoping that’s generated some revenue for you.
Regards,
Jay Schwarz

Paul,
I most certainly have been promoting your technique. It’s been about two months now and my golfing buddies have been amazed at how accurate and consistent I’ve become. Many have become extremely interested, but are on the fence because of the cost. No worries in time they’ll come around. Competitor’s don’t like losing. Give them time…
Any-who, keep up the good work, and I really appreciate all you’ve done with my golf swing. Also, I love the profound closing on disc 4 of the ‘Swing Machine Golf’ DVD; “Thank you for trusting me with your golf swing.” That was spiritual…!
Respectfully,
Joe Walker

PeterEspositoI have a problem compressing the ball when swinging irons as I tend to sweep or hit the ground early. When I sweep I can get decent distance but do not make divots. If I try to move my hands/wrists in front, I lose momentum. Are the swing mechanics the same for the driver, fairway woods, hybrids and midirons? Is the difference just ball placement. Some professionals recommend keeping your weight in front and the sternum slightly in front of the ball. Is that correct?

Paul WilsonPeter,
If you are not taking a divot you are hitting it with your arms. This is causing them to contract through impact. If you start with your arms extended and you contract them your arms are getting shorter thus pulling the club off the ground. Every time I get someone to relax their arms they start taking divots and compressing the ball so you need to start working on this.
Watch:
How To Take A Divot: https://ignitiongolf.com/how-to-take-a-divot/
Never keep your sternum ahead of the ball when hitting the ball. This is using a reverse pivot to hit the ball which is not what the best players of all time did. This move has you keeping your head still going back which does not allow you to load the weight on the back foot and you need lateral motion to even make contact with the ball in the downswing. This de-loft the driver and longer clubs so you cannot get them airborne unless you add excessive lateral motion.
We already have the model for the best swing of all time which is Tiger in 2001-2003. Why do anything other than this?
