Do you have downswing trigger? You better have one. This is what you should be using to hit every shot. It is something you use to fire your legs and hips. There are many different downswing triggers I teach so you need to choose one.
Most golfers are literally just whacking away at the ball solely with their arms. If you are doing this how are you ever going to use your body to hit the ball? You never will. To get using your body you nee to be thinking of using your body. This is where the downswing trigger comes in.
Again, this is something from your waist down you use to hit the ball. In this tip, I show the easiest downswing trigger. The one that most of my students choose. It’s your belt buckle and thinking of turning it to hit your shots. So you have this thought of turning your belt buckle in your mind before you even start back. Once you hit the top you immediately turn the belt buckle or you immediately apply your downswing trigger. Once you fire the lower body the arms now follow.
So give this downswing trigger a try. It’s vital you even have a thought of something from the waist down that gets you hitting the golf ball. If you are at least thinking about using your legs and hips you are on your way to doing so.

My downswing trigger is my left heal going back onto the ground.
I’m a lefty, and my trigger has always been to fire my right hip towards the sky. It helps create my weight transfer.
You've transformed my game for the first time in my life I shot 2 rounds in the 70s within the same week.
My latest rounds my hips were sore using my body for the first time it's like neo using his eyes for the first time in the matrix lol.
Great tip
I'm trying to use right knee moving forward, followed by left cheek of my backside going back.
Hoping to get a more effective one from this program.
My trigger used to be straightening my left leg, which I picked up from your Swing Machine Golf series back in 2007. As I got older and began lifting my left heel on the backswing, my trigger now is to simply replant that heel to start the downswing. I think that’s the easiest trigger for those of us who lift the lead heel going back.
I have been watching you for a while now. I stopped coming over the top. Slowed everything down, opened my hips, but I'm still not getting the distance I want. At Impact my arms are straight and it looks like I'm going to a chicken wing. But again at empact I'm straight. Any help??
I've been watching Gary Player tuition and he says exactly that..😊
Hi. I like your trigger point tip. How do you know what your set point is to start the downswing trigger since not everyone can turn as far as one needs to. Thank you.
I like pushing off right instep. Also like firing my tight groin toward target
I meant my right groin
I been working on your swing for awhile now.Its made a huge difference in my game. I'm hitting the ball longer and straighter. Thanks Paul
Your belt back to ball drill was game changer for me.
Paul, this is an excellent follow up video to your " Magic Move " video. Love em !!! Thank you for a much better golf game than I had before 😬
Wonderful information Paul. Thanks so much.
I got this goin pretty well but I’m long straight left when I start with my body and arms shutoff. You’ve mentioned to me in another video comment what I need to do to just get it down the middle but keep the length and straight flight.
i'm practicing with a golf shaft in my living room. 🥴I'm struggling but I will keep working at it. I have time to go to the range 3 or 4 times a week. I'll keep you updated. Thanks!🙏
Paul, hips first and then club or do they work in conjunction?
Sorry, new to the game
Thank You 6:59
This just what I needed to think about, I have been working on this for weeks and you just gave me a new way to think about it, Thank You!
My trigger hands slight drop into the slot and Gooooo
Used to be pushing off my right foot which unfortunately my golf pro talked me out of
Turning the hip, good tips paul
Thanks!
i plant my left heel and turn my hips at the same time. thanks for all your tips.
Love your teaching my misses are hit on the toe any suggestions
I'm only playing a few rounds of golf a month. In my group, I'm coming out on top.
Yes, thanks to your program.
I have a friend who has to win.
How do you deal with people who get in your head on purpose?
He uses it on who's ever leading,
It's been me for a minute. I don't want to golf with all the head games.
Any advice, Mr Wilson ???
Hey Paul, during the downswing should I delay the upper body rotation or keep my back towards the target as long as possible ?
I try to fire my hips from the top but my divots are still going to the left and I'm pulling or fading the golf ball. I'm very inconsistent with my driver it makes me not even want to use it.
Ive practiced trying to open my hips up during the backswing and found I wasn't pulling and slicing as bad. Don't think I turn enough during the backswing which only feeds my bad shots.
Thanks
It was not my best round of golf yesterday.
I was chasing my swing. I couldn't find the ball.
I was trying to find the sweetspot.
I was thinking about my swing instead of just swinging.
I was using my lower body to start my swing. I tried everything..it wasn't terrible.
It's wasn't pretty.
It was golf.
I'm not giving up on this at all, Paul…
I did do what you said. I waited till my Buddy hit a nice shot and paid him the compliment.
He didn't stop completely.
Alex got it yesterday.
Alex has respect for us older guys.
It didn't keep him from slamming his clubs into his bag a few times.
I will let David and Alex know about the compliment idea.
I'm saving the other one for myself.
I actually wanted to try it out yesterday for an experiment.
The Dirty Pool will have to wait 4rrr. another day.
The compliment Worked on him… no real reason to mess him up even though I wasn't playing well.
Mine is my left knee moves straight back and my right knee moves towards the target. It stops my legs from swaying etc
Paul, just wanted to ask if you can show a video showing how to hit from a fairway bunker? Thanks!
Paul do you have a chipping video and like 50 yards in. Thanks
