Hi Phillip. Really enjoying your videos. My Calloway Razor clubs are 10 years old. Until recently I played socially about 8 times a year. I’m 75, retired and play now every week. I’m still very athletic for my age but my club head speed is only 85mph. So I struggle to hit driver over 200 yards. Do I need new clubs and different shafts? Thank you. Gavan
@@gavanmurphy1381 In case Phillip doesn't answer allow me. At your age and swing speed you definitely will be able to take advantage of the new technology that today's clubs offer. Make sure you get a proper fitting, but you'll be able to transfer over to lightweight and more flexible graphite shafts which will not only help you gain some swing speed, but also help with older joints. Now that you have your new "Easiest Swing" game, it's time to take it up a notch. Obviously, I'm not telling you to spend outside your means, just letting you know that the clubs they make today could really help your game.
@@gavanmurphy1381 You'll be amazed at how they can help you improve your swing speed and sweetness of your strike. You will most definitely gain distance on your drives. I'd be surprised if you didn't increase between 10% and 20% at least.
What a pleasant experience it is Philip to view your videos. Your demeanor in your delivery is quite unique compared to some other channels. This video with the three elements to an effortless swing is very apropos for senior golfers. I'm at the age where I have to adhere to your advice because strength is no longer going to propel that golf ball of mine. I am now using a lighter grip, gravity, centripetal force, and club design to assist me. It's amazing, if all these align themselves, how effortless it is to hit a golf ball! Now, if I could only avoid those three putts! Well Done Philip! I am going to archive this video for future viewing!
Glad you liked the video and I appreciate your kind review. I want to make my videos feel like two old mates having a chat rather than trying to sell Cillit Bang!!!! (are you old enough to remember those ads?). Hopefully bringing a little calm to RUclips and golf instruction. Thanks for your review it’s much appreciated.
The goal is not to ADD effort but to multiply your power ( rotational force ) Power as you know is rate of work. Another fine video. You’re doing good work for golfdom. Cheers F
Another excellent video Philip & many thanks, it certainly has worked for me over the past 18 months, dropped from 18 handicap to 14, hitting it better & with more confidence, getting the book next ✌
I get the part about relaxing and letting gravity do it's bit but how do you make sure the club will hit the same place (ball) when it comes down? I really like your swing and wish i could learn it. I started learning golf in my 40s with no background in sports and with two left feet and hands 😂. Recently I dislocated my shoulder as well so don't want to stress my body so much but still want to continue to get better at golf
As counterintuitive as it seems it’s about letting go of control and letting the club swing tension free - it may take a little while but soon you will hit a strike like nothing you have ever felt and your brain/body will just know it’s right. The strike will feel beautiful. As you let go of conscious control you will amaze yourself how little effort it requires. It takes a leap of faith to let go this much but once you get over the initial fear you will be astonished at how easy and natural it all feels. AND just how easily finding the perfect strike becomes easy. Good luck with it be patient with yourself as you go and I know you will find it.
Terminal velocity is 32 feet per second squared. I’m sure Pe meant 34 feet per second squared. Great video Phil. This is what I was talking about before. All these forces are unseen but they affect everything thing. Especially the a swinging and turning motion. The golf swing is “invisible”.
Philip , Your talking about a Mike Austin swing centrifugal allowing the force to move out and away , Centripetal is pulling the outer force in . Are you suggesting to pull the force in as it is pulling out centripetal ?
We are not scientists but according to our research we came across several articles that had statements along the following lines: “Is centrifugal a nonexistent force? Centrifugal force and Coriolis force exist only within a rotating frame of reference and their purpose is to "make Newtonian mechanics work" in such a reference. So your teacher is correct; according to Newtonian mechanics, centrifugal force truly doesn't exist” This article also explains it well.

I've been trying to incorporate these ideas (+ La Danse and more upright stance) but I find myself pulling the ball left most of the time. Lack of rotation is my guess. Any ideas?

Great observation!! - and think you are questioning whether this is a good thing to do or not. I think this could be the single biggest myth in golf (the idea that you need to stay still). Take a look at this video - Golf was HARD Until I Changed THIS! ruclips.net/video/3zKhDNjUn6Y/видео.html and if you want to understand more about why/how read the new book “The Easiest Swing in Golf” which is only on Kindle right now but will be in Softback in a few days time (links in our website) this explains it in greater detail. I call it golf’s FOMO (fear of missing out) but in golf the acronym stands for “Fear Of Moving Off” be prepared to discover just how much easier (and MUCH MORE consistent) your game can become with this vital move. Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
Thanks for this it’s always good to get the terms right and to know that what we are saying aligns with the science. We had never heard of centripetal acceleration until you told us about it.
I don’t disagree with this argument but if you watch the pros they absolutely look like they’re putting in a tremendous amount of effort. Rory and even Scottie scheffler practically come out their shoes when they swing.
We are not really trying to help golfers to hit it like those players but more to give them something they can do. It’s a bit like if you wanted to improve as a driver of a car do you need to know how Max Verstappen gets his car round a bend at 200 kph?
No point in a comparison with the point one percent , they are the exception not the rule , we are mere mortals who must realise our own potential, play within your own game .
@@lawrencecirillo3233 Well, actually, he merely explained that gravity fell at 32 ft./ sec. and Bobby Jone's club descended at 34 ft./sec. Since he immediately before that said that Jones swung at 113 mph, it is reasonable to assume he equated 34 ft./sec. to 113 mph.
I know that gravity ACCELERATES at 32 ft./sec/sec. The swing takes less than a second, so even 34 ft./ sec. has no time during the swing to reach 113 mph. I do love your tips, my only argument is with your physics.
I have been trying the effortless swing for a few weeks now but so far my club head speed is 2 to 3 miles per hour slower with the easy swing. I'm concerned that the easy swing is not easy to learn.
Have you read either of our two books yet? They will support you on your Easiest Swing journey and you will get there it may take a little patience but it will be worth it.
TERRIFIC video Phil! Here’s my dilemma… When trying to increase club head speed with the Swing Caddy I’m finding myself squeezing the grip tighter as I try to swing faster. Will swinging with just one hand using just my thumb and forefinger help reduce this? Thanks
It’s great that you have identified this. In due course you will find you can produce MORE speed without that squeeze than with it. So yes the thumb and finger exercise is a great way to feel this and learn to create effortless speed.

Great news John, I bet it’s not just that your handicap has come down, but I bet golf is a lot more fun too!
Absolutely amazing, I hope I can get my brain to instruct my body to do this incredible swing, thanks
We totally believe you can! 👌
Sage advice for sure!!! Thank you for making this video.
Cheers Wayne - thanks 🙏

Where is this beautiful golf course of yours with its exquisite birdsong?
This is Canterbury Golf Club in Kent, UK. The wildlife and scenery is wonderful here!
Another cracking video many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 🤩

Thanks Barry I love the statement “the golf swing is invisible” 👍
Wonderful instruction, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Struggling to find the key to consistent tempo. This may just be the answer. Thank you!
Good luck with it - follow these principles and for certain you will find your tempo. 👍
I recognise that hole at the end - Canterbury? Seen many times on Danny Maude's videos!!
Well observed!

Hope it all makes more sense now.
I find this is correct. At the driving range I am relaxed hitting really good shots but on the course tension creeps in
It’s great that you are aware of this. Until you are aware you cannot correct it but with patience you will now find your way.
Just ordered your book!!!
Great!! - hope you like it and it helps your game.
Hi Philip
Is the new book coming out in paperback?
Kind regards
Geoff
Hi Geoff yes it is with the publishers at the moment and should be available through Amazon and most other booksellers in a couple of weeks.

@@Easiestswing Funny thing -- I watched that video earlier today! No chance to practice or play today so will try to work on it tomorrow!
I noticed that you move off the ball on your back swing, doesn’t this cause inconsistency in the strike?

Please revisit your physics explanation of centripetal force … think centripetal acceleration
Thanks for this it’s always good to get the terms right and to know that what we are saying aligns with the science. We had never heard of centripetal acceleration until you told us about it.
Great
what device is it?
It is called a Swing Caddy and there is a shorter version called a Hole in One. There are some details on our website about them - easiestswing.com
Ok Philip, you got me. I had to look up the difference between Centripetal and Centrifugal force.
Yep - takes a bit of getting your head around doesn’t it! 🤩
Swing the force, don’t force the swing
That is perfect - I may use that in future if you don’t mind? 🤩

No point in a comparison with the point one percent , they are the exception not the rule , we are mere mortals who must realise our own potential, play within your own game .
One thing I would disagree with you on. If Bobby Jones's club was moving at 34 ft./sec, that correlates to 23 miles/ hr. , not 113 miles/ hr.
He explained the difference. The 113 mph is at impact. The 34 feet/second is the speed the hands drop. You actually confirmed his point! 👏🏻
@@lawrencecirillo3233 Well, actually, he merely explained that gravity fell at 32 ft./ sec. and Bobby Jone's club descended at 34 ft./sec. Since he immediately before that said that Jones swung at 113 mph, it is reasonable to assume he equated 34 ft./sec. to 113 mph.
@@leonardhandzlik6008 Nah. You know about the word “assume” right? 😉🙃
I think the point you need to consider is the difference between constant speed and acceleration. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
