hi i'm paul wilson i'm the creator of swing machine golf and the director of
the paul wilson golf school at bears best las vegas
in this tip community chip how to cure a golf pull
see what questions and comments
and allot of people
tend to pull a golf ball
alluded to the left
for a right hander golfer
when they're getting the shots
so what we want to do is understand why were pulling it well if you're pulling
the golf ball
what's happening is
you're in a position where the golf club is swinging what's called over the top
from right here
if we have mentioned that there's a plane line
underneath survive through my body and out the brother and that's our swing
plane
you from right here we want our golf club to state on that plane to about
here
and it's going to leave the plane
then as we come down it's going to flatten andy parallel to that plane
and then back on plane as we're coming into impact and through okay so it'll be
it'll still be on plane then it'll leave the plane a little bit as well into the
financial base but what were concerned about is in this area here
now if your over the top what that means is
your golf club is swinging to the top like this
it's coming down but it's morning to the left
k from right here
the top of this
that causes the golf club
to swing to the left
iffy you're hitting the golf ball
with the face square
with the club moving to the left
you will hit the ball straight to the lab
if the faces even more close to you will hit it left and then it will spin even
further left
so that's called a poll hulk so some of the stuff will apply for a poll hook as
well and i'll try and get to that towards the end
what you need to know is
your golf club is swinging to the left
the faces square
to that pat
very simple
what we have to do is we have to stop the club from coming over the top
met with understand why it's coming over the top
the golf club is coming over the top
because you're trying to hit p with the arms
your arms are starting the down swing first
and in that process what happens is
you go to the conflict there
your arms are moving before your bodies moving
in that process your body your upper body
stars to tip a little bit to the left
in that process that determines that the path of the golf club
will swing
if you don't believe me just go out to the driving range hit a bunch of shots
and tilt to the left and watch where you're ball goes
then tilt to the bright and see where your ball goes
how to cure a golf pull
affects the direction of your shot
if the ball is going a little to the left
your body is tilted
on the way down
it may be fractionally
it may be just for a millisecond
but keep in mind
that as soon as you start the past
determined at the top if if you're a little bit over the top
he will be over the top by the new tiny hit the golf ball
that's because from here
to their is a quarter of a second in time
you can't change the past once you've determined
so if we're up at the top like this
and in this first instance you move tiny tiny bit to the left
you will hit the ball to the left
the path is is over the top
if the faces square to that pass that's what i'm assuming
okay so
we need to stop our body from tilting to the left in the downside
throughout the years have cured a million pulls her in my life
this works every single time
all we have to do
is we'd have to get the body
starting before the gulf of ms
we can take a look at it again from here
the concept is simple
in a golf swing you have mass and it's swinging around an axis so here's our
axis here's the mass leaning around it
easiest way to think about it is away from piece a strength if you take the
definite world it
don't be
candy is always one step ahead of the weight
if you pick up the weight neutrally
the weight will always want to go ten ninety degrees to the access or the hand
people always want to go to ninety degrees
if it's moving its fastest
if were up but argh
top of our backs right
this is our weight
this is our strength
this issue
twirling it
before up at the top like this all we have to do
start this first
get it ahead of this
if we do this will want to go two ninety degrees
that means it's not going away from ninety degrees and more
if i'm right here and i turn my body it will
now i'll be in a situation where the club is swinging out of the ball
instead of
over the top
and in the process of using my lower body
will just take a look at it from here
use my lower body in my counseling it's like hitting the accelerator on a car
when i go like this might upper body
falls backwards
that means that
i'll be tilted slightly to the right when i hit the ball
instead of
tilted to the left
wakes up
we're going to cure the poll
by understanding the poll
the golf club is slightly over the top
the faces square to that line
that means that
our rates are working
because the faces square
guitar riffs were all locked up
he would be slicing ball you're not doing that
so it's not even hands and arms problem at all
in the three elements i teach
wrists uh... loose
body rotation
constant forward tilt
our research lucy in our golf swing dance the faces swear
it's abadi problem
because for swinging a little over the top
if we tilt left
the ball will start laugh
so we need to fix the body body rotational problem
okay so
all we're doing is we're getting to the top
we're not going to be hitting anymore
totally relax arms
we're gonna use the lower body
to initiate the downside
and in that process we're going to take a little to the right
and then we're gonna have the past
slightly from the inside
so what you want to do to a couple of girls
to get you this the proper feeling okay
first one is just this you go to the top
like this
and take your belt buckle
at the golf ball
try to keep your hands up here because we need the lower body headed it off
takes we got to get our lower body head of the club
that will get our body starting first the club will flatten
and then be swinging how that it on the way down
next thing we can do is just hold our golf club up in the air
like this if you hold the club in the air
and you do practice length
there's no ball to hit
so if there's no bald head
that'll allow you to relax your arms and get the body rotation
head of the gospel
if i do it towards the camera
how i'll just exaggerated for use of the eastern sea the actual movement
you need to apply this to your golf's so from right here
you're gonna see
my body new first
and then the club come whipping through
straight here
and just exaggerating a little bit
that's what we need we need our body to get ahead of the gospel
so from right here
you see my body move
and then the club comes with a fair
sokaya holding off of up in the air is a great way to feel
your body getting ahead of the gulf
if your body gets ahead
the club shaft will flatten
and it will be swinging out of the ball
uh... one other thing if you're poor cooking
you've basically got the same thing
you're over the tops of the club the strength of the left
is just the faces a little too close
in that case
i would definitely check the grip so that you neutralizer grip
because if your group is strong and you've rolled this over you're gonna
close the facing you going to get that
got right to left curvature
of the poll hook for right handed golfer
case of definitely check your graphic nature is neutralized
if you're still pull hooking it
make sure you're not thinking about rolling this over
you don't have to think about rolling over because the cliff face is already
going to square and then beyond square
all you have to do just at the lower body initiating the downside
for you too
the golf club will flatten
you'll turn that holbrooke probably into a draw so
that'll be a lot better shot them pull hooking it that's for sure
pixel hopefully you get it
turn the arms off quit trying to get the ball so hard
especially from up here
turn the arms off
initiate with the lower patole flat in the club
and then you'll swing out at its annual fixable
if you fix a grip
you fix apocalyptic
