Good morning Paul,
“Lift the heel” I have been thinking about turning the hips to begin my downswing. Lifting the heel seems to me to be a better starting thought and motion to begin the downswing. I have downloaded on my iPad the V1 Golf app. I videoed my swing from the front on view, and you hit the nail on the head. No hip rotation at contact. No heel off the ground at contact. Back to the practice range with a new thought and the iPad. Thanks again for the consistent repetition.
Hi Paul,
It is just a pleasure to whatch this tips. Even if I whatch it multiple times I still find details which seemed to hide when I whatch it earlier.
Repetition is the key to all good habits – it is also the key in mental terms as I learned from Dave’s Product also available on your website here.
With all this great preperations I’m looking forward to an exciting golfing year.
Thanks for all that good stuff and please continue.
PS: I stopped to visit revolution golf months ago and surely don’t miss a thing!
Hi Paul,
I will thank You for all tips at your site.
I have played golf for around 8 years. I have tryed hard to be a consistant player. I went to several pro’s and se lot of video on YouTube but I still com over the top and hitting the ball but I never give up.
I was quite lucky when I find one of your tips on YouTube. I Get membership and after 10 days on the range whit fokus on power les arms and coiling I got amazing results. This weekend I played to of the best round ever whit a quite cold putter.
Again, thank You and I will follow your web site in the future.
Hi paul
I’m having some trouble standing up in my downswing any ideas on how to help this ?
I think this is why I’m hitting a lot of toed and thin shots.
Ask yourself why you would stand up in the downswing. Well, you could be too low at set up. What goes down must come up. So make sure you are already tall. Then if you are still coming up you are swinging too hard. The harder you hit, the more you will look to see what you hit. This is human nature. If your arms are truly powerless you are not trying to hit anything therefore you will not want to look early because you are not trying to hit anything.
Thank you
I think also I’m having trouble getting the coiling right
I do the helicopter drill a lot and without the club it feels great and I get that real snapping sensation
But as soon as I put a club in hand I struggle to get that feeling and end up hitting with my arms.
So what would stop you from thinking of doing this in reality? Answer: you hitting the ball. I am not trying to hit the ball. You are not good at doing this yet so you have keep working on it until you are good at it.
You need to not only be doing the helicopter drill (great warm up drill) but other drills swinging the club.
13.5 minutes that were very well spent. This is a very important tip and it was explained perfectly. This site is really something special. Thank you so much.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback. Funny how people over the years have said my tips are too long. If you don’t have 10 mins to watch a tip that can help your game you may as well not even be playing this game.
I started watching your videos on YouTube about 6 months ago.This was 2 years after I had lost total interest in the game during which time my h/c fell from 12 to 23. Then you came along. I can honestly say, with my hand on my heart, that you have given me a new lease of life and I am once again starting to enjoy the game. I am now playing to h/c 18 but believe that with your videos i am certain that by the end of this year I shall be at around what I was 2.5 years ago. God bless you.
I would think you got into trying to hit the ball. I will keep saying it. This does not work. Until peolpe realize you hit a ball the opposite to what you think you will be in limbo forever and possibly even quit. Sad really but just like you, I went through this too when I lost my swing many years ago. I quit for 2 years.
Just stick with working on each part of the swing one step at a time. It is about the movement and taking the arms out of the swing. Stay focused and do lots of practice swings working on the positions. The faster you master them the faster you will hit the ball amazingly well.
Hi Paul This is a great tip but I don’t see how I can keep my head behind the ball as you have shown in another tip whin I am lifting my foot . What am I missing. .?
Firing the lower is like hitting the accelerator on the car. You fire the lower and your body mass hang back briefly as you hit the ball.
Just do the tip I just posted the other day and/or watch the back of the ball as you hit the ball. Then you will see that you can do lift the foot and stay behind. If I can do it you can do it.

Paul WilsonEgil,
Thank you very much for your kind words and support. I truly appreciate it.
Please stick with it. Also, when you start playing well it can get very exciting. As people get excited they start swinging too hard.
