HOW TO TAKE A DIVOT WITH YOUR IRONS (The Secret)

In this tip, I'm going to show you how to take a divot. This is not about hitting down on the ball or leaning the shaft forward. In no way do I want you doing that. Instead, there's a different way. It's simple and will allow you start taking perfect divots in minutes.

So many people have tried to take divots in the past by hitting down on the ball or hitting ahead of the ball. If this actually worked, you wouldn't be here watching this tip. So it's obviously not working which means it's time to try something different.

First, we're going to understand why you even take a divot. If you don't know this, you will never get it. So I'll explain it so you finally understand why you take a divot.

Once you understand how to take a divot, we're on to the secret fix. This is a new feeling that you need to try. Keep feeling this for about 5-10 mins and no joke you'll finally start taking divots without ever having to purposely hit down on the ball.

This guy has a way of talking that when his videos are at the end it gets you pumped

I would attest! I watched and studied PW's golf instruction videos 2 years ago and my golf game totally changed. I went from hitting my 8 iron 135, to now hitting it 150-155. 7 iron from 150, no now hitting it 165-170. I also brought my handicap down to a 9 from a 15. I couldn't understand why my golf buddies could hit the ball a mile. I am now taking divots on every shot, pressing the ball, decreasing the degrees on my clubs and increasing distance. I have been telling others about Paul for the past 2 years and how his golf instruction works. When on the range and hitting pure sounding balls with divots, i love when someone asks me "who taught you how to hit the ball like that?" I will always direct them to Paul Wilson. Thanks Paul!

This could be one of the greatest video golf lessons of all time. Everyone should be super grateful that you're literally just giving his information away completely free of charge, Paul. As I've said before, you're one of the best and most underrated teachers out there and I can't illustrate enough how much I appreciate you putting these lessons up for everyone. Cheers from Australia💙❤💖

BEST instructor i have encountered, coil/uncoil with loose arms is my only swing thought, thanks Paul!

[RPFMax]

Amazing. Literally will save so many people from injuries. Making your back follow the force from your arms is why so many people develop lower back issues. Your arms following you body ensures there is no excess force on your back when swinging

Had a terrible round 2 weeks ago, watched this video and practiced in backyard just swinging without a ball. Played yesterday and shot 38 on front-lowest score ever. Big thanks to you.

I have been trying to fix my impact position/downswing lately. Watched a TON of videos. Finally came across a video from TS that talked about swinging with zero tension, just as a way to learn new movements better. But what it ended up doing was actually getting me to finally make real solid contact for once in my life. Now I've started to add a bit more speed into it slowly. I guess I was gripping way too hard, and just being way too stiff overall. So I can absolutely attest to this video.

Thanks! I been trying for 2 years when I started golfing to be able to connect all the difficult dots and create what you showed me in a matter of minutes. I was at work and luckily the driving range is less than 10 mins away. I spent my lunch break hitting better than I have ever and the guys were staring at me not cause I’m super hot but because I was hitting balls effortlessly and with each club the distance was on point in relation to my club selection and then some. Thumbs up from numerous people, head nods and smiles as I was walking away and quite a few atta girl. I can’t wait to get out on the course. I was becoming apprehensive when going out cause it seemed like I’ve was going backwards and no improvement and getting worse or having a good day one day the next day embarrassed and paired with a snotty golfer who dismissed me killed any confidence I had. Thanks so much for helping. I wrote everything down you taught me and will review over and over and can not wait until I watch your next video. I know it’s not much i don’t have much but this is a little token of thank you deeply. You taught me fire.
MUAH!!!besitos

Thanks for pointing me to this and the other video on this topic. Took it to the range today and, like you say, I hit loads of fat shots and like you say I felt like giving up, but decided to persevere. After about 70 balls I noticed my swing and connection was feeling more like my driver. Distance started going up and direction was getting more consistent. My confidence was increasing rapidly… and then I ran out of balls and time, can’t wait to get back to the range to see if the progress can continue!

[mixamelbourne]

After this one video I’m taking divots, hitting the ball straight and far and with such a relaxed swing. Thanks so much for the tip 🙏🏻

[wendellmurray]

I watch this video repeatedly. By far the best instruction on using irons. I still have a slight chicken wing, even though I can fairly consistently hit the ball flush and as far as I can hit the ball. I am over 70 years old, forget about the accompanying photograph from late 20s. My practice swings are perfect on the other hand. Why I cannot translate the practice the practice swings is still puzzling to me. I am practicing almost every day now. Once I succeed in duplicating the practice swing when hitting the ball, I will continue to practice. I hope that I will continue to hit balls perfectly, more or less. Then I will dare to go out on a golf course, something that I look forward to. From my perspective, playing on a course makes no sense until one's swing is perfect when hitting a ball, because at that point on a course, a player will become frustrated very quickly. Another point is, your sample drives on the Las Vegas course reach 300 years, clearing a pond at 270 yards. Can you attest "on a Bible", let's say, that the distance of the shots is accurate? I can hit drives at best, when hot flush, about 240 to 250 yards, with distance in air perhaps 210 to 230, then the remainder, rolling on the ground. That is with range balls. Perhaps new balls might have someway longer distance, but I doubt that much.

It was like you made this video for me. I stopped playing 10 years ago due to back issues and was stuck around a 12 handicap. I just started back and after a trip to the range decided I needed to learn how to take a divot. Searched Google and viola, there you were. One more trip to the range and hitting the ball crisper than ever with a divot. Thanks!

[lilbuddiesfishing]

Great library of videos for everyone who likes to golf. Keep posting new stuff. hope all is well. Maybe edit some of your older vids and make shorts.

[safensecure]

I have struggled all my life with shallow divots. I'm going to save this and watch it at the Range. This Channel is Golf School, not YouTube filler content. Thanks You

[parkpllc]

I followed Paul’s video lessons for a few years. Large arc and body-swing w relaxed wrist is what I try to do at every swing. Many people complement me that my swing is smooth but hit very far. I

[JeffreyJohnson]

This helped me a lot but there was one thing i had to figure out on my own to get this to work every time for me and that was making sure my weight was completely on my front foot. Adding your instuctions with proper weight shift is a game changer!

[kevinwisely]

Great advice! Where have you been all my golfing life? Can’t wait to try this.

[johnherman]

I’ve always been a picker, probably chicken wing my lead arm. I know I’m losing distance because I’m not compressing the ball to the ground. Great vid Paul I’ll give er a try. Thanks buddy, be safe out there!

[courtneyroy]

Thanks Paul you make perfect sense as usall, wish you all the best courtney

[wonderbreadmodelsandhistor]

Seriously…thank you Paul.

Played golf since I was five…gave it up due to frustration 10 years ago stuck at a 9 or 10 hcp. 2 range sessions and I’m hitting the ball better than I ever have in my life. You have a new customer
