I struggle with thinking “123”and switched to :touch my legs” with huge success . Because this mantra gets my hips in front of the ball as you are suggesting in this video. Bill
With this coordinated body move (Separation) it seems my arms are going just as fast as before this move. Moreover, it seems that I have the same amount of LAG.
The difference I see with my ball direction and distance is caused by, loose wrists, the lean behind the ball and hip move before my downswing starts.
Are my arms supposed to be going just as fast as they were before this move?
The arms can be fast, by using and thinking about your lower body. But you want to be trying to get your lower body to start first and then the upper/arms. As long as you keep thinking about the lower body starting the golf swing, you will give the arms more power.
Paul,
I understand the seperation importance but there is no mention of hitting the ball in center of face and angle of attack. Are these not as important to distance and how do we know if making correct contact?
There are obviously lots of factors involved to hitting the perfect golf shot, but these ones that I have laid out are some of the most important factors that you need to be focusing on. You will know if you’re making good contact by things like feel, trajectory and sound of the shot. Keep working on the things that I have laid out and you will add yardage to your shots.
Paul,
I’ve been trying this for… ever since I attended one of your 3day classes, back before the pandemic… I video my swing. What do I see? Without the ball, perfect, separation and all. With ball, my heel stays flat, I often somehow stand up on my toes, until after impact – then the heel lifts… Even when I think of my belt buckle first. Seems hopeless…
Another magic drill to conquer this?
Best,
Claude
I would be going slower with all of the positions, just like we did at the golf schools. This will help with figuring out the new moves/positions.
Keep working on the touch the legs position, this will help stop you from going on your toes.
Oh my, Paul, found on my computer 3 short videos of tee shots on our course 6 years ago just before finding Paul Wilson!! UGLY videos – absolutely 100% whacking at the ball with 100% arms. It’s amazing you have corrected this issue with 1000s of golfers plus other issues like your chipping genius, etc. I’m not there yet, but I’m glued to “firing the hips and letting her go”. So appreciate your improvement of my game before “I go forth!”
