I just became a body swing customer. After watching many of these videos I recently went to a simulator and decided to concentrate solely on 3 things... the neutral grip, the back swing coil with hinged wrists, and turning the hips quickly at the top of the back swing. The rest I just let happen. I only let my brain think about those three things. All of the shots I hit with driver had a club head speed from 99-104mph. Before that I was 90-92mph. The grip felt awkward. I have to be honest, it never felt comfortable for me. But with it I found the hinging to be much looser and easier than the firm, strong grip I have been using all these years. Most of the shots went dead straight with little or no fade/draw, but a few I hit a straight push. But even most of those misses were better than the misses before this past session. I noticed a huge difference with irons. The good shots were 10-20 yds longer than the usual distance for the shorter irons, and 20-30 yds longer for long irons and woods. Again, I had a few straight pushes with the irons, but even those bad shots were never worse than a bad shot I am used to. I have a lot of work to do... mostly with the hinging... I have always had a very short back swing... And I can feel, now, that the reason is very stiff wrists throughout my golf swing. But, all in all, the improvement I saw with working on just those three components, I had to admit that I must reevaluate my entire swing process if I am going to get any better at this game I love. Thanks Paul!
Thanks for the support. I truly appreciate it. Wow that's a great increase in clubhead speed. This will make you never want to stop doing what you are doing. Be sure to keep working on precise positions I show in The Body Swing. We don't want this falling apart in the future. Easy way to do this is daily practice swings. Just keep doing what you do. This should take your game to a whole new level this season. Good job.
Paul I just did this in my garage simulator and holy crap it works great. I was hitting the ball (MEVO) maybe 140-160 yrds and after 45 minutes using this system I was averaging 170 yrs and my best being 196 yrds carry. I'm 52 and have a lot of health problems (no pancreas, spleen etc etc) and clubhead speed has been a huge issue. I was doing a little half swing but after loosing my wrist like you taught has me swinging from 60-65 mph to now averaging 81 mph. My best was 91 mph and it felt effortless. Man I can't thank you enough for all of your lessons. Most want money for every little lesson but you do this for free and it means a lot to us club golfers. Thanks man! Rick
This makes total sense to me. I was on the driving range and a 13 year old male at 5’ 3” had a carry distance of 215 yards that was as far as mine and I’m a 49 year old male. I watched his swing closely and his wrist action was very oily and loose. His driver had a loft of 9.5 degrees while mine was 12 degrees. This was an eye opening experience and lesson. I will definitely be bringing this technique to work on at the range and implement it on the golf course immediately.
Im a body swing customer.... never golfed before the age of 35.... I went from being just terrible with no formal training to being able to hit with a driver on average about 102 to 104mph. I even practice with a swing speed radar which you recommended in your earlier videos. I thank you for your tips and explanations. I enjoy golf now very much. My game isn't where I would like it to be, but at least I feel safe to tee off without driving the ball into a parallel fairway. If my personal life allowed me more time to practice I'm sure I would be much more dialed in. I found your body swing program to be beneficial and easy to follow and I enjoy watching your videos
Thanks for your support. I truly appreciate it. 102-104 is fantastic. Like I said if someone can break 90 mph it's a miracle. As for practice just do the practice swings at home daily. Give me 25 a day perfecting a position. You do not have to hit balls. It's all about the movement. If you wait to get to the range you lose the feeling. So grab a 7 iron and have it sitting there so you can see it. At some point every day you need to give me 25 swings. If so, you can easily be in the 70's.
I appreciate the practical common sense well-reasoned approach you share to golf. I have watched quite a few different teacher videos, some good yet most quite frankly conflicting complicated unexplained information. I basically just picked up the game late June with about a 115 average round :-). With your videos I now am always breaking 90 and some times low 80's. It's a challenge to know who to listen to and follow when starting out. I highly recommend your approach, videos and golf advice to all. Thank you Paul, continued success to you.
Glad you like my teaching. Simple is the key. I have thought this way since lesson 1 back in 1991. That's a huge drop in scores. You are well on your way. Great job!
I discovered your videos last year and immediately ordered your video series. I am 82 and have been losing distance every year, handicap was 12 then it increased to 16 because I was chipping and trying to one putt on every hole. After adapting the body swing I have started getting back the distance, more important I could play without hurting my body with swinging hard. I feel like discovering the body swing it probably extend my golf life for a few more years. I have turned on my golfing buddies to your web site and they all bought into your teaching, probably a dumb move on my part because of our betting game.
Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you are getting your distance back and not playing in pain. This is a recipe for lowering your scores/hdcp. Thank you so much for the promo to others. I need all the help I can get. Maybe one day everyone will want to do it. Keep up the good work and know that it's a better payoff helping people have more fun playing. You just need to keep your game one level above theirs. That's your incentive.
Paul you are by Far one of the Best Golf Teachers on RUclips... you explain in terms that are super easy to understand.. Hope to meet you one day at your golf course 🙏👍
Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it. Glad you remember my tips. Loose is the key. Too many people are way too tight which is really costing them power. Try to do these 2 drills into the future: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html Do them daily in practice swings. After 30 days you won't believe it.
Very good. This is such a huge drill. You are starting to feel it so you will see it's effect shortly. It's going to be great when we are 75 still hitting it easily 250 plus while others are hitting it nowhere.
2023 and this should be the ONLY, golf swing speed video on RUclips!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to complicated!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! 🙌🙏💯👍
Whip is the part that many miss in their swing. I found it easier to understand that way. A good golfer basically told me to relax my hands.....and whip the club through impact....so you hear the swoosh. Made a huge difference when I applied it. Added a good 30 yards to every iron and hybrid.
What a great tip. I was concentrating on too many swing thoughts, now I just think of the wrist hinge and the rest of the swing just naturally follows. Thank you.
Hey Paul. I've applied your principles. I'm very fit 63 but looking forward. It feels loosey goosey at first but today on the driving range I had a posse of seniors enamored with my swing. Thanks for your great videos.
I am a starter and I kept wondering why I got blisters on my fingers, hurt my right ribs everytime while the ball rarely exceeds 200 yards.. Watching your video really makes me realized that I had been trying to hit golf with my arms (and emotion) rather than my body swing. From now on I'll keep reminding myself to loosen my arms up. p.s.: I love your videos and can't stop watching them since they make me realize so many things I've been doing wrong until now. Thank you for sharing these videos in RUclips.
OMG! I just tried this...made perfect sense. After 10 years of not fully understanding this, my speed and distance just went way up!!! Perfect explanation. Thanks!!!
Loosened my wrist lately and hit a 266.5 yard drive yesterday. Normal drive is 220. Been working on this for about a month now. Definitely wasn't easy to get used to the looseness but I understand now how important it is to be super loose with the wrist. No shortcuts but worth the daily hinging and rehinging drills!
I enjoyed this video and was at the indoor range today. We have had snow in the Niagara area in recent days. At my session this morning I had many successful swings and I felt I was hitting the ball extremely well. Using this technique very was helpful and I will continue to use this over the winter. This is giving me something tangible to work on this off season. Thank you
Glad you are working on it and seeing results. Glad you are going to keep working on it through the winter. This is the best time to be working on your swing so next season you play great golf. This is exactly what I want people to do. Keep at it.
I purchased your Body Swing program in 2018. Approaching 70 yrs old , having had back surgery a while back and with achy knees , I had just resigned myself to the fact that you cannot fight Father Time. Not so……your Body Swing program is like the fountain of youth for us senior golfers - it’s allowed me to actually maintain and sometimes INCREASE how far I hit the ball. And what I most appreciate is how you continue to post more videos which serve as like a refresher for your Body Swing program.. I know you post these videos hoping to entice people to possibly purchase your program - and they should - you deserve it as you give so much and you deserve to get something back for all of your dedication and efforts.
Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it. Glad you are doing well with The Body Swing. Anyone can do this. Just need to do it a little different way. Glad you like the tips. Yes, everything I do is based on the same thing and if I can help people ... great. So many people out there still struggling with the swing. Can't be much fun. I will keep doing what I do and maybe one day they will all be turning their arms off. We probably both won't be here to see it.
I been using the body swing for some time, I tell all my friends about it. It really works. People ask me how I hit it so far and make it look effortless. I direct everyone to Paul Wison and the body swing. I'm still learning and practicing, currently averaging between 260 and 280. Working on lag for speed, Thank you Paul!
Thanks for the support and promo to others. I appreciate it. 260-280 is great. That will turn heads plus doing it effortlessly. Wow. Lag? Here you go: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html Need to do it daily for 30 days. Do that and 300 is in site. Might as well watch this one too: ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html Stick to those for 30 days. Nothing else.
This is very true. Been golfing for several months, all the while I was gripping my clubs so tight my fingers could've gone blue. The moment I loosened my grip and wrists the swing became immediately easier, smoother, less painful and much more consistent. Very important lesson indeed
Very good. Being all locked up like that was never going to work. Glad you found me and see the difference. You use the legs and hips for power not the arms. Knowing that at this early stage of your learning will literally save you years of frustration.
"Connect the arm unit to the body, which is turning"... pure gold, Paul. Btw, I was having a bad round the other day and, at the turn, started doing your arm loosening drill ("How to Get that Effortless Powerful Swing") and shot ten shots lower on the back nine than on the front!! Loose wrists, baby!!!
it is pure gold. i was thinking about this all day, trying to find some tuition on arm movements across the body when swinging. i seen some still images of how pro players are stay/rotate with the body. but it never fully clicked until i watching this video. just let the arms chill get a good rotation and flick those wrists at the right time. seen a few say they were getting 30-50 yards extra on drives. which is amazing and i will be going to the range with my woods/hybrids in the morning to try this.
Wow that’s amazing 56 with that swing speed. Your channel has helped me so much. I was barely able to get 200 yds before after following tips I have been able to hit 250 plus. Thank you your the best.
I tried to do this a few weeks ago because I was so sick of hitting terrible drives. I just coiled & uncoiled with my body with loose wrists (allowing them to hinge and unhinge). I couldn't believe the sound, the ball flight and the distance. It was also crazy how much my arms felt like they were doing NOTHING. My drive carried 50 yards further than my usual ones. I'm a believer!
Glad you tried it and saw results. This is what it's all about. If I can get people to at least try it for more than 3 balls they will see how powerful it is. Just need to keep doing it until you see it (which you did). Now stay focused into the future. It gets exciting and we get greedy. Watch: ruclips.net/video/glKnfVbhuXo/видео.html
Great advice Paul as always! Hinge Re-hinge. Plus pair it with tilt the body backwards a bit. For me, without tilting my body, I found I swing over the top, and slicing it. So its Hinge, Tilt, Rehinge!
Well if you are slicing it you get rid of the slice spin first by rolling it from the top. Once you can hook it you are doing half right. At this point you switch to body rotation to straighten it out. It is that simple.
Great video. The key, as you said, is a firm grip with loose wrists. It’s a tough feel to build but well worth it. I think you also have to couple that in with a bit of rotation to avoid flipping. Everyone flips (releases the wrist angles) but it’s where that release happens that determines the dynamic loft delivered. Keep up the good work 🏌🏻♂️
Exactly. Takes work. You certainly do need rotation to stop flipping. As I keep saying at least 90% of everyone I have even taught had almost zero rotation at impact so this is a huge problem for sure.
Great video as always. It helps me to swing loosely if I focus on the swoosh sound at or after hitting the ball. Otherwise I tense up and rush the downswing.
Tension is an absolute KILLER in the golf swing! I was never taught to just let the club go. I had fallen into a trap of trying to steer the ball and I just lost all my speed. I went from an unskilled player that could hit the ball 250-260 no problem, and then took lessons. I had to relearn the golf swing and have a beautiful easy looking single pane swing now, but lost a bunch of distance. Too much tension. This reminded me I need remember to just let the club go again.
Great video Paul, every time I loose effortless distance it always comes back to tightening up. It takes focus to get back that crack the whip feeling at the bottom of your swing. The million dollar question is why do we let ourselves get tensed up over time. I have not focused on the reps you mention in these comments, know that will help. Always great instruction, thanks.
For sure. It is human nature to hit the object sitting in front of you. So you need to change your thought. Watch this tip: ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html
I have used your method for a few years. Last week I went to an indoor simulator with some low handicap golfers. I am about an 18 handicap, mostly because I don’t play often. I am 63. I was swinging at 102-108 swing speed. They were impressed and kept asking how I could get that speed. 😂 the 6 handicapper actually asked to record my swing.
For sure. The looseness is where the speed comes from but you have to attach this arm unit to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. Loose is key though.
Thank you so much. There is so much wasted energy out there. If people can see me do this than it should be clear that anyone can do this and do it for life. Just need to do it with the body not the arms. Glad you see it. Stay focused and do lots of daily practice swings around the house. This is the fastest way to get it.
Great! I‘m struggling currently because i‘m using only my arms to generate speed. Result: max. 95mph. With your tips i‘m will continue to break 100. Thanks und greetings from Germany
Glad you see it. If you are 95 with just arms you can get it well over 100mph without issue. So start loosening and get the fluidity of the release then start adding body rotation as the power source. You've got this. Do these 2 drills daily and in a month you will be killing it: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html This is important too: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html
I've watched many of Paul's videos, and have attempted with varying success to follow his technique. Recently, I ran across another youtuber, and he was swinging the club one handed to demonstrate a point that I don't even remember. But I started swinging one handed (left hand) as a warmup, (I play right handed) and the light bulb went on. Since I only had one hand on the club, I HAD to swing with my body and let my left wrist hinge and unhinge. Then I take a couple practice swings with both hands, but keeping the feeling with just swinging with one hand, and hit my shot. The results and especially the feeling was night and day compared to before. I'd be lucky to get 180, now consistently over 200. I'm also using this when I hit my fairways off a tee for long par 3s or short 4's. I was really terrible at that before. The last club I need to translate that feeling to is my irons, not quite there yet. The one issue I have is if I get a bit too quick with my hands on the downswing I push or fade it right (with driver). But I can fix that by letting my hands lag behind. I may be wrong as I've said it before but I think I've finally got it.
Thank you. I always go back to your clips for correction. I used to look at the ball and make sure I hit the ball hard. It always end up less accurate and inconsistent. After taking your tips by just focusing on from point A to B and the ball just happens to be in the way. It just hits solid. I still need to turn the hip and ensure my body memorizes it. I did master to let the wrist loosen up during my swing. It was awkward at the beginning and now is a norm for me. I can hear the whooping sound by not swing out of my shoes. thank you.
Thanks for thinking about the tips. Glad you see A to B. This is huge. Sounds like you get the concept and the loose feeling I want you to have. Great! Keep at it.
I watched your videos years ago and did not get it right and strayed away but recently after a lot of bad play I watched some of them again and have really found some great improvement. For me I've found that thinking of the wrists as a hinge with no muscle when they unhinge and rehinge is the secret. So I think of mostly unhinging with no muscle used while still holding on to the club securely. Its kind of like a drummer can move his wrists and drumsticks faster by just hinging and unhinging them in a swinging motion than if he were trying to use his wrist muscles. The same thing with a guitar player strumming super fast. I've hit the ball farther and straighter using this loose swing with a neutral grip with much less effort. I have had success also using the same principal to unwinding my whole upper body. If you swing to the top where your wrists are fully hinged your body will be fully coiled or wound up or "hinged" and you will be on your right leg, if you just kind of fall onto your left leg and just unwind your body without exerting muscle effort your hips will turn naturally leading the way. I think your hips will naturally "fire" smoother and faster if you try to not use muscle to rotate them but just think of your body unwinding with no effort and your body will sequence everything naturally... ?? So less effort gives more smooth speed?? does this makes sense?? it seems to work for me.
Glad you are back and seeing improvement. Now you see the role of the arm unit. This is huge. It is secure grip loose wrists. Not sure why people think I teach a loose grip. I like what you are saying in the rest of the comment. Ideally you want this stuff happening on its own but for most they have to work on the pieces. I would keep doing what you are doing. Keep in mind also if you are not trying to hit anything why would your arms lead? If they were turned off at the top your body would always start first. So keep doing what you are doing. You are right on track. Stay focused and master it.
Love the videos Paul. Everything you recommend is very logical; and when I actually do it (swing loosely), I see tremendous results.....significantly longer (and straighter!). I've been working on it for a few months now and the main challenge is shutting off my brain....so hard to make my brain shut off and quit "hitting at the ball". 80% of my swings are still trying to hit it! Working on that.......
Glad you liked the tips. Thanks so much. Glad you are doing well. This is what it's all about. As far as wanting to hit you here's why: ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html So to stop doing that you need a new thought or image to be thinking about. I got it when I understood Iron Byron. In no way does it hit or help the shot with it's arm. The arm only moves when it's motor turns it's driveshaft. I will be posting tips on this in the future. This was what got me to stop hitting maybe it will help you too. Watch the video on my homepage: paulwilsongolf.com
Thanks....good tip. I'm 78 and certainly need help with swing speed. Using my "muscle swing" I only drive the ball about 150-160 now. In my younger days that was my distance with 7 iron. Guessing my swing speed now is about 60 mph or so. Would LOVE to get it up much higher!!
You are exactly who I cater to. I see this all of the time. You are literally using physical strength to hit the ball. As you see you won't hit it very far. You need to loosen the arms and wrists coming down and through. Then you need to turn your body faster to get the power. You see in this video how little effort I can put in an get it to 100mph. I am not straining to do it. I am barely moving. So you need the arm unit to unlock first. You then work on the body. You coil going back and uncoil coming down and through. This creates a whip. So start with these: ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/p4vASmOzkPg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/N-nGM6yN790/видео.html ruclips.net/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/видео.html Make sure you are going all the way back and all the way through: ruclips.net/video/SXYGdyrEhnU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/a8uIUyRF52Y/видео.html Then do this downswing trigger to hit the ball: ruclips.net/video/RdphthCQ9VM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/FV8uSZ16Bys/видео.html
1:32 - The man himself. The myth, the legend. That swing sequence is excellent. In the downswing, still the best trail arm connected to torso anywhere. The stored energy in that trail arm and wrist, all released at the right time, is second to none. As soon as he starts that downsing, the trail arm drops to the side of his torso, and you never see his arm trail separate from his torso at anytime in the downswing, until just before impact. Most people do just the opposite, they throw the club away from their body at the start of their downswing. Lower body rotation keeps his swing sequence in order. Just pure gold!
Too funny. I have never thought of the trail arm ... ever. You get this by not hitting with the arms. Instead turn them off and use your body as the power source. Yes, most are just whacking away thinking it's going to happen. That day never comes.
Wow! I've been learning golf for about 18 months now and have been doing exactly what you say - swinging out of my shoes and the ball has only been able to reach 220-230 MAX. I've been controlling it as much as I can, which has led to so little speed with maximum physical effort. With this new tip, I can swing so easy and I can still get the ball 250+ on my launch monitor. Absolutely game changer, now I just need to figure out how to keep control of the clubface, so I know where it's going, but at least I've got the distance I need! THANK YOU!
For sure. As much as you may think it's about hitting you are not physically strong enough to hit it longer. I am using simple physics of mass swinging around an axis. Not hitting at all. Glad you are making the switch. Once you do you will never go back to hitting.
I'm inspired & I'm gonna give it a try as soon as it warms up next week. My just turned 13 yr old grandson is 5'6" and 120 lbs and still growing. He is bombing his drives and his swing speed is 105-110. The average pro is around 116mph, so it is amazing to me that he can bomb a drive 300 yd and hit 8 irons 175. Now he needs to learn how to chip and putt and manage his game. It may take a while because he plays baseball. The good news is that his golf swing doesn't look anything like most baseball player swings. It looks like a well tuned golf swing.
That's great. Kids get it so fast. They have minimal arm strength so they are not hitting versus adult who have arm strength. Watch: ruclips.net/video/I8WRHJkTzyY/видео.html Shows exactly what I mean and the difference between kids and adults.
I absolutely love love your idea 💡 my game needs a ton of work because all I use is my arms, and you know that is not working. I want to learn way. Your content is Game Changer. How much for lessons
Glad you like it. Learn to swing this way you have it for life. Stay focused and make the switch. Here is my lesson pricing: www.paulwilsongolf.com/site/lessons-paul-wilson
Do these 2 drills daily and in a month you will be killing it: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html This is important too: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html
Glad you liked it. Just shows you that if I can do that anyone can do this. Just need to have super loose wrists and turn your body. Stay focused and work towards this. Once you get it you have it for life.
Thanks Paul, I definitely want to give this a try. I’m a 56-year-old who swings pretty slow (75 - 80 currently). I wish I could see a Slo-mo replay of how the wrist are flexing during the swing and how the hands may roll over from one side to the other during the swing? But definitely some thing I want to work on and plan on starting this afternoon.
Yeah that is way too slow you need to get moving otherwise you will always be too slow. Work on the release drills here: ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/p4vASmOzkPg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/N-nGM6yN790/видео.html ruclips.net/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/видео.html Get every ball hooking. At this point your release is happening too early but at least it is working. Now you can start firing the lower harder and harder to straighten it out. ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html Watch this too so you know what to look for: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html Also, once you have worked on these things focus only on these 2 drills for 30 days: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html
Literally repeated this mantra (hinge, rehinge) in my head at the range yesterday and on the course today. Some of my best drives! Just need to fix the occasional slice...
Very good. This is what it takes. If you are thinking of that why would you be thinking "I'm going to kill this one?" Just need to change the way to think. Once you master that part your thought need to switch to coil/uncoil.
I've been going to the range a lot recently and you're right; ALL the good young kids move their hips first in the downswing. And you see the adults and most of them just have these savage looking swings (not in a good way) like they are chopping wood with their arms. I think adults try a couple of loose swings and give up too easily they can't make contact. Keep at it! Swing like a child.
I recently started playing, over 40, relatively strong in a worker sort of way but not athletic or coordinated, and other than sporadic trips to the range no golf experience to speak of. Driver really intimidated me because I just tended to drive the ball or the club head into the ground despite having what looked like a pretty decent stance and grip. Went to the range today with the key takeaway of "loose" and carried around 190 right out of the gate and by the end of the bucket I was starting to get into the groove and pushing 220. Up to this point a "good" drive for me, really trying to force it, was maybe carrying 170 on lucky 1 in 20 hit. I have a lot of work to do on consistency but now I know I probably have the capability to carry at least 250 with more practice, and I also didn't pull any muscles chunking the club into the ground this time. Total game changer!
Glad you got into golf. It's a game for life so we need a swing for life. Hitting hard is not going to do it. Sure, you might get lucky and hit a few good ones but they will be few and far between plus you run the risk of hurting yourself. So we need to focus on technique. If a young kid can hit it longer than you they are doing it a different way that you (they are not strong). I think you get this concept. I make the positions and movements simple so people actually get the concept and what they need to do. If you want to get this fast do daily practice swings at home. Waiting to go to the range twice a week is not enough. As you do practice swings you learn the moves fast. Then as you keep doing them you will do them with the ball. Try to hit most of the balls as you are working on it with a 7 iron teed up a little to give you room for error. If you hit the ball on the ground you need to be perfect. On a tee and you don't have to be perfect so you can see if your changes are working. See the swing in 2 parts. The arm unit which hinges and rehinges. Then the body which coils and uncoils. The wrists affect spin. The body affects direction.

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for all the advice and recommendations Paul! I'm loving this game so far, not only is it fun in and of itself but also been a great reason to get together with family and do something other than just sit in front of a screen watching other people play sports.
Paul thanks for this info. FYI I'm using this tip for... believe it or not... my tennis serve! I'm thinking loose wrist, letting the racket whip thru the hitting zone and hitting my serves significantly harder! (It's winter here so I have to wait a few weeks to try it in golf.)
Finally a video that talks about the wrist hinge and snap. Too many coaches forget beginner swing movement. Did all these coaches and pros start with relaxed swing???
All of these pros started as kids with minimal arm strength. Minimal strength swinging mom or dad's club and you get the hinging and rehinging automatically. If you started as an adult you had arm strength. Put a stationary object in front of someone and human nature is telling you to hit it and hit it hard. I have been teaching the effects of human nature for years. I did a tip on this here: ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html Then to get the hinging and rehinging you need to go against human nature again here: ruclips.net/video/URlX7BBFohc/видео.html If you don't know this you will never do it. Human nature (and the ball) are a powerful force.
Thanks again Paul. Now, instead of 5 points of mechanics to think about in my downswing, I'm forcing my self to only one swing thought...Loose and easy. It does work. I notice when I flub a shot, it was muscled in. A hard habit to break after 40 years of wrong.
Very good. Just make this stuff simple. Loosen up and get results fast. Once you can do that you get confidence. Later on you can tweak it if necessary. Simple is the key. Oh yeah, not hitting too. That's and even bigger key.
Paul I love your videos and methods. My distance has improved tremendously thru my whole golf bag, my grip is neutral favouring weak. I’ve developed a duck hook with my driver and longer clubs and if I tilt behind on my driver, I block it and push it way right. Any tips?
So, this must be my year. As I have said in comments before, after years of listening to Paul, I finally heard him!! I started loosening up and separating my hips from my arms and wrists. The improvement was immediate. For the past few weeks I have been doing up to 100 practice swings a day in my yard just getting in the repetitions and feeling of a loose full body swing. I went to the range earlier this week and WOW! I was hitting the ball farther than ever and while there was still a slice here and there, I found that I was hitting it straight with way more consistency. I am playing a round this weekend and am excited to see how it goes. Overall, I feel way more relaxed when I swing. It is amazing. Thank you Paul!
That's great. I keep saying it. It is up to people to hear it. Glad you are doing daily practice swings. 100 is perfect. As for the slice you need to master the rollover. You can just do this at home nightly. ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/7olBqwXF3Ik/видео.html Do it as much as you can. Get this fixed then you will have it with any club ... forever.
I love your lessons and have improved my game by implementing your body swing method. Being smooth has been a game changer Taking the arms out of the equation works great until i get to 30 yards in. This used to be the best part of my game and now its absolutely horrible. Can I use my arms and less wrist for the finesse shots near the green.
Glad you are doing well. Glad you like the lessons. For short pitches you need to set the hinge then turn to hit the shot. This is what I teach. So do your neutral grip, taller wet up with shorter clubs, ball position is slightly forward of center. Narrow stance. Then you are thinking of the butt of the club. You take the butt and point it at your target. This is the backswing. There is very little arm movement. You set the hinge. Then you switch to turning your belt buckle to hit the shot. So it's HINGE/TURN. That's it.
Loosened up my arms hand and wrist on the range yesterday and on my 1st swing I sent my driver 30yds out onto the range. The club traveled farther than the ball! Gueese I need to work on this a lil more!.
I don't really do analysis anymore. They take too long and I don't have time. I do watch swings live on my app CoachLink. This is live video coaching. If you are still swinging over the top you are still using your arms. Turn them off. Do this drill until mastered: ruclips.net/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/видео.html
Thanks Paul. Your vids are genius. I understand the 'snap' of the whip makes the magic speed and I noticed in your slow swings in the video, you appear to snap about a foot beyond the tee. Is that right? Or, should it be at the tee?
Thanks so much. The release point moves once you add the body. I talk about it here: ruclips.net/video/MTLQWJLRAU0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jEWe9Gaoqxo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/gMVs6SZNBIQ/видео.html
Wow that total changes the dynamic of my swing. I played a fair bit of golf when I was a teenager and have just started again. I think I have been trying to muscle it. I started taking my top thumb off the club so I can go further on my back swing and create some drag and then trying to muscle it. I’ve got blisters, a pulled muscle in my back and felt like I got hit by a train this morning when I woke up after hitting a few hundred shots yesterday. It’s weird because I can hit my wedges great this way but I have no control on anything lower. I think my issue is an improper hinge.
Yep, you are hitting with arms. I have fixed countless people who took a break from golf get their swing back. It's easy because they have used their body in the past. Take the break and you start hitting with the arms (which will never work). I just need to get them to loosen the wrists and use their body again to power the swing. Watch this first to understand why taking a break lost your swing: ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html Work on this first: ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/p4vASmOzkPg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/N-nGM6yN790/видео.html ruclips.net/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/видео.html Get the ball hooking and loose the wrists. Once you can do that you then start firing the lower body harder/quicker/faster to straighten it out. Not sure what your downswing trigger is but something in your legs and hips you use to hit the ball. This is the easiest trigger: ruclips.net/video/RdphthCQ9VM/видео.html As you do this there is timing between the release and the legs and hips so you need to watch this to learn exactly how hard you need to fire your hips: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html This is literally days or a week or two of work maximum to get it back.
I'm doing what Paul is teaching and my game has improved immensely... All my golfing friends tell me I have an effortless swing... At 69 years old I drive with an 80% middle left, middle right down the fairway with an occasional duff drive... my average drive is 210 to 225 yards... and play off an 18 handicap... My arms and body never ache from golfing because I follow Paul's pain free, effortless golf swing... Cheers from England Paul and all you golfers around the world.. ⛳🏌♂️
So glad you are doing well. When your friends start seeing it is when you know you are starting to get it. That's pretty good distance. Once you are ready for more then be even looser in the wrists and turn a little faster. If you don't want more lets perfect the movements and positions and get you to single digits. Easily done. I was born in England. Near Hull.
I am 58 and driver swing speed is 96-101 MPH and I am giving it everything. Probably looks like I am using an axe to cut down a tree. Will have to try this
Yes, you are literally maxed out. I am doing it a different way. I am hitting it with looseness no physical strength. Do these 2 drills and I will get you to 300. ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html This is important too: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html
@@paulwilsongolf Went to the course after my comment and took your advice and went from an average of 96MPH before to averaging 104 MPH and even reached 106 MPH (I was using a Garmin device to measure). Distance up by at least 10 yards. Then played in the Saturday comp and hit every fairway, shot 4 over par, my handicap is 4, but shot 4 over easy. YOUR ADVICE IS JUST GOLD PAUL. Thanks from Australia.
Great "simple " video to follow re increasing swing speed! Yes I am one of those people who at the age of 60, struggle to break 90mph w my driver and it is because I am too stiff/too rigid! This teaching video seems to make it so simple! My question is: it is winter where I live so if I do not have enough ceiling height to make a full swing, could I get an old driver/cut it down and then make a swing or would it be better to maybe get a shorter weighted club? Also: do u have any other videos on how to get "loose" in the wrists/hands/shoulders etc or exercises to do? Thanks and keep up the great videos and instruction!
Need to be super loose. Just try it but not for 3 balls and quit. Need to do it for a bucket. Super loose. Watch and do this: ruclips.net/video/LAejvDbw_aA/видео.html For low ceilings grip down on your club and hold it off the ground. Where there's a will there's a way. It is about the movement and getting used to it. Just do practice swings. Almost every tip I do is about loosening up so just search a round. This is my favorite thing for tight people to do: ruclips.net/video/0gOuKQpUl54/видео.html More here: ruclips.net/video/wcCHnsaw2bg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/CV7RbrqFUAE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NdyDgGO95XY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4O5G9t0LiJo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jUA5giMywEg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/45A4Hbm4hek/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BGHnUgPa_1U/видео.html ruclips.net/video/iNKIMiv8jng/видео.html ruclips.net/video/WmfHHOlFIdE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Z_wIbElk5sc/видео.html
Hey, gonna give this a genuine try. I'm new to golf and trying really hard to get my club head speed up. It's up at 95 but I am putting everything in to it. i'm sweating like hell after 50 hits. I'll post back a reply after a month and give feedback.
Yeah, at 95 the swing I did flew it by you. Sooooo, stop swinging that hard. Do the opposite. Watch these 2 tips and do them for 30 days: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html
Another great video Paul, Thank You! - My speed is increasing but I spray the ball left and right so I must be doing the snap bit wrong 😞 - How do I keep the clubface square through impact for longer? (like maybe from 12" before and 12" after the ball). Do I delay the snap until maybe 12" after impact? - Thanks Again! 🙂
I found the answer 😀 A quick search of your channel and you have a number of great videos explaining how to consistently square the clubface. Like most of us, you looked a bit younger 10 years ago 🤣 but the message is also consistent! Here's the link to your video for anyone interested: ruclips.net/video/dw8mMH7Cr4Q/видео.html Thank You!
The only one who gets stronger and faster with age is you Paul, lol! I had a break through moment yesterday in regards to that duck hook I was telling you about. A PGA pro who owns a driving range that I went to yesterday saw me get frustrated after hitting a couple of duck hook shots. He came up to me and recorded my swing and spent about 20 minutes with me. The culprit... Terrible posture with my driver. When I saw that video, I was standing dead straight upright with a tilt. I literally had no bend like I do when I hit my irons. I was just so programmed to stay behind the ball that I fell into this habit. No sooner did I bend at the hips and got acclimated, I could not miss. Lost the hook immediately and hit so consistent. I'd recommend a nice video on driver posture. Not sure why that never clicked with me. Now watching your video, I see you bending nicely with driver.
No doubt. I was lifting my left heel more yesterday at the range. I think I need to keep doing this. On my little launch monitor every good swing was 117mph. My nemesis is being super tight with my coil. This going me fully back. Haven't hit it like that in a while. Just unreal solid. Always remember ... it starts with the grip and setup. Both need to be checked daily. Do this in a mirror and you will never get out of position. I am guilty of this too so it is vital we keep checking.
@@paulwilsongolf thank you for responding Paul. I agree with everything you say. Is there a chance we can have a conversation. I want the tour. I'm older for my start time in golf, 45,, but I'm serious and I have natural athleticism. I know i can do it. I just need help. I feel like you need to know about my background
Bloody hell , I just grabbed a wedge and tried this at home. Can girl that snap , feels really quick . I only swing driver around 90mph as a fairly fit 40 Yr old. I've never felt release or snap like that . Can't wait to try it.
@paulwilsongolf thanks for the reply . I've tried it a couple of times on a launch monitor but struggled to see little difference in all honesty. I'll keep trying .
That's a piece of how to do it not the whole thing. You have the arm unit hinging and rehinging. Then you connect this to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. The wrists are loose and the arms have no power (you are not hitting anything). So if this is the case how you would you get more power? You turn way way way way way faster. This creates a faster whip. I guarantee you are not turning anywhere near fast enough and as much as think you are loose you need to be 10 times looser. Here are the 2 drills. Do them daily for 30 days then let me know what the launch monitor is saying: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html
Paul, at age 65 I’m struggling just get to 80 speed, my question is can this technique be accomplished using the over sized grips? Thank you, I appreciate the feed back. John
Yes but you don't want those jumbo grips. The wider the grip the slower the hand action. Jumbo grips are too wide. Midsize are fine. At 80 mph your wrists are way too tight and you are not turning anywhere near what you have to. Here are the 2 drills you need to do daily for 30 days: ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html
Paul - I love your videos. Your explanations and tips/drills are so easy to follow for a beginner like me. But I do have a request. I recently watched a few videos - keeping my feet close together with my PW to try and get good body rotation, loose wrists, and start my body rotating before my arms swing forward. I went to the range this morning, tried to do all that and had a miserable day, lol. So the question is - what's the best way for a newbie to learn all this? Once I start my swing, should I be trying to do them all at once? Or should I forget most of them for now and just practice one thing? I'm worried about developing bad habits if I don't at least try to do this correctly. OR is there a sequence of skills to work on, forgetting about all but one at a time? Possibly this could make a good video for beginners. Thanks, Rich
Keep in mind it is human nature too hit the ball sitting in front of you. You need to get over this temptation. It is a movement. The ball is in the way of this movement. I would be literally at home mastering the swing. So this daily in a mirror if you can. if you go to the range never hit ball after ball. This will get you hitting. You hit a few then back up and do 3 times as many practice swings working on positions, feelings, the movement etc. Then apply this to the shot. Work mostly with a 7 iron teed up a finger height so you have room for error. If you are a total beginner then start here to get the movement: Body Swing Concept: ruclips.net/video/E8y9jEyY35k/видео.html Grip: ruclips.net/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/видео.html Alignment: ruclips.net/video/VFZc0Wq282k/видео.html Simple Swing: ruclips.net/video/gTLvRsjwfIM/видео.html Wrists: Hinge Rehinge: ruclips.net/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html Body: ruclips.net/video/RdphthCQ9VM/видео.html I would be doing 100 practice swings per day if not more. No joke you can build a great swing super fast. The problem is that people don't do daily practice swings. The go to the range once or twice a week and just smash golf balls. The ball is the problem. Get the moves. Doing them makes them important so you will want to do them with the ball. Hey, maybe we do a case study with you and I will post it on the channel? Let me know if you are interested.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks! I'd certainly be interested in a case study. Please let me know how I can write you privately. I didn't see a contact form on your website, but perhaps I missed it.
Website: paulwilsongolf.com top right in the navigation bar it says contact us. on a mobile device it will be top right the 3 lines. Click on them and the menu will come up. down the list it will say contact us.
I just found this out before watching this but its hard to hit the ball like that. All that rotation without the loose wrist i hit the ball good and straight but like lpga. The loose wrist will blast the ball and feel beautiful but you'll hit alot of foul shots so it requires all year of practice
I just became a body swing customer. After watching many of these videos I recently went to a simulator and decided to concentrate solely on 3 things... the neutral grip, the back swing coil with hinged wrists, and turning the hips quickly at the top of the back swing. The rest I just let happen. I only let my brain think about those three things. All of the shots I hit with driver had a club head speed from 99-104mph. Before that I was 90-92mph. The grip felt awkward. I have to be honest, it never felt comfortable for me. But with it I found the hinging to be much looser and easier than the firm, strong grip I have been using all these years. Most of the shots went dead straight with little or no fade/draw, but a few I hit a straight push. But even most of those misses were better than the misses before this past session. I noticed a huge difference with irons. The good shots were 10-20 yds longer than the usual distance for the shorter irons, and 20-30 yds longer for long irons and woods. Again, I had a few straight pushes with the irons, but even those bad shots were never worse than a bad shot I am used to. I have a lot of work to do... mostly with the hinging... I have always had a very short back swing... And I can feel, now, that the reason is very stiff wrists throughout my golf swing. But, all in all, the improvement I saw with working on just those three components, I had to admit that I must reevaluate my entire swing process if I am going to get any better at this game I love. Thanks Paul!
Thanks for the support. I truly appreciate it. Wow that's a great increase in clubhead speed. This will make you never want to stop doing what you are doing. Be sure to keep working on precise positions I show in The Body Swing. We don't want this falling apart in the future. Easy way to do this is daily practice swings. Just keep doing what you do. This should take your game to a whole new level this season. Good job.
Paul I just did this in my garage simulator and holy crap it works great. I was hitting the ball (MEVO) maybe 140-160 yrds and after 45 minutes using this system I was averaging 170 yrs and my best being 196 yrds carry. I'm 52 and have a lot of health problems (no pancreas, spleen etc etc) and clubhead speed has been a huge issue. I was doing a little half swing but after loosing my wrist like you taught has me swinging from 60-65 mph to now averaging 81 mph. My best was 91 mph and it felt effortless. Man I can't thank you enough for all of your lessons. Most want money for every little lesson but you do this for free and it means a lot to us club golfers. Thanks man!
Rick
That's great. Great feeling when you start seeing results. Keep up the good work. Big things to come.
This makes total sense to me. I was on the driving range and a 13 year old male at 5’ 3” had a carry distance of 215 yards that was as far as mine and I’m a 49 year old male. I watched his swing closely and his wrist action was very oily and loose. His driver had a loft of 9.5 degrees while mine was 12 degrees. This was an eye opening experience and lesson. I will definitely be bringing this technique to work on at the range and implement it on the golf course immediately.
Glad you saw it and understand it. I keep saying this. If they can do it copy what they do. ruclips.net/video/0gOuKQpUl54/видео.html
Im a body swing customer.... never golfed before the age of 35.... I went from being just terrible with no formal training to being able to hit with a driver on average about 102 to 104mph. I even practice with a swing speed radar which you recommended in your earlier videos. I thank you for your tips and explanations. I enjoy golf now very much. My game isn't where I would like it to be, but at least I feel safe to tee off without driving the ball into a parallel fairway. If my personal life allowed me more time to practice I'm sure I would be much more dialed in. I found your body swing program to be beneficial and easy to follow and I enjoy watching your videos
Thanks for your support. I truly appreciate it. 102-104 is fantastic. Like I said if someone can break 90 mph it's a miracle. As for practice just do the practice swings at home daily. Give me 25 a day perfecting a position. You do not have to hit balls. It's all about the movement. If you wait to get to the range you lose the feeling. So grab a 7 iron and have it sitting there so you can see it. At some point every day you need to give me 25 swings. If so, you can easily be in the 70's.
I appreciate the practical common sense well-reasoned approach you share to golf. I have watched quite a few different teacher videos, some good yet most quite frankly conflicting complicated unexplained information. I basically just picked up the game late June with about a 115 average round :-). With your videos I now am always breaking 90 and some times low 80's. It's a challenge to know who to listen to and follow when starting out. I highly recommend your approach, videos and golf advice to all. Thank you Paul, continued success to you.
Glad you like my teaching. Simple is the key. I have thought this way since lesson 1 back in 1991. That's a huge drop in scores. You are well on your way. Great job!
I discovered your videos last year and immediately ordered your video series. I am 82 and have been losing distance every year, handicap was 12 then it increased to 16 because I was chipping and trying to one putt on every hole. After adapting the body swing I have started getting back the distance, more important I could play without hurting my body with swinging hard. I feel like discovering the body swing it probably extend my golf life for a few more years. I have turned on my golfing buddies to your web site and they all bought into your teaching, probably a dumb move on my part because of our betting game.
Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you are getting your distance back and not playing in pain. This is a recipe for lowering your scores/hdcp. Thank you so much for the promo to others. I need all the help I can get. Maybe one day everyone will want to do it. Keep up the good work and know that it's a better payoff helping people have more fun playing. You just need to keep your game one level above theirs. That's your incentive.
Paul you are by Far one of the Best Golf Teachers on RUclips... you explain in terms that are super easy to understand.. Hope to meet you one day at your golf course 🙏👍
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Simple is the key for sure. If you make it to town definitely come over and say hi. People do this on a daily basis.
I have improved so much by your videos ...I use to watch alot of golf videos but pretty much now I just watch yours because they really fit with me
Thanks so much. Glad you are on board. It can get confusing out there. Simple is the key. More to come in the future.
I have watched over a 100 golf tips on RUclips and the only one I still remember and use if your 'stay loose' tips. thank you!
Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it. Glad you remember my tips. Loose is the key. Too many people are way too tight which is really costing them power. Try to do these 2 drills into the future:
ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html
Do them daily in practice swings. After 30 days you won't believe it.
Another great tip. Been doing the ear to ear drill. Really feeling the club release. I got you by a couple years but this is good stuff. Thanks coach.
Very good. This is such a huge drill. You are starting to feel it so you will see it's effect shortly. It's going to be great when we are 75 still hitting it easily 250 plus while others are hitting it nowhere.
The best golf instruction on the internet.
Thanks so much for the tips. Every one I have tried so far has worked for me.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support.
2023 and this should be the ONLY, golf swing speed video on RUclips!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to complicated!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! 🙌🙏💯👍
Glad you liked it. Thank you so much.
Like always Paul, you just nailed it ... AGAIN ! thanks for best tips ever !
Thanks so much. I thought this would resonate with people.
Whip is the part that many miss in their swing. I found it easier to understand that way. A good golfer basically told me to relax my hands.....and whip the club through impact....so you hear the swoosh. Made a huge difference when I applied it. Added a good 30 yards to every iron and hybrid.
It sure it. Only been saying this since 1991. As you see you get way more power with loose wrists. Keep at it.
What a great tip. I was concentrating on too many swing thoughts, now I just think of the wrist hinge and the rest of the swing just naturally follows. Thank you.
Very good. This is a big part of the swing.
Hey Paul. I've applied your principles. I'm very fit 63 but looking forward. It feels loosey goosey at first but today on the driving range I had a posse of seniors enamored with my swing. Thanks for your great videos.
Very good. Great feeling when people start to notice. Keep at it.
I am a starter and I kept wondering why I got blisters on my fingers, hurt my right ribs everytime while the ball rarely exceeds 200 yards.. Watching your video really makes me realized that I had been trying to hit golf with my arms (and emotion) rather than my body swing. From now on I'll keep reminding myself to loosen my arms up.
p.s.: I love your videos and can't stop watching them since they make me realize so many things I've been doing wrong until now. Thank you for sharing these videos in RUclips.
OMG! I just tried this...made perfect sense. After 10 years of not fully understanding this, my speed and distance just went way up!!! Perfect explanation. Thanks!!!
So glad you liked it. Understanding it a half the battle. Keep up the good work.
Loosened my wrist lately and hit a 266.5 yard drive yesterday. Normal drive is 220. Been working on this for about a month now. Definitely wasn't easy to get used to the looseness but I understand now how important it is to be super loose with the wrist. No shortcuts but worth the daily hinging and rehinging drills!
Very good. That is a huge difference. Now you know to NEVER, EVER, EVER tighten up again. Keep at it.
I enjoyed this video and was at the indoor range today. We have had snow in the Niagara area in recent days. At my session this morning I had many successful swings and I felt I was hitting the ball extremely well. Using this technique very was helpful and I will continue to use this over the winter. This is giving me something tangible to work on this off season. Thank you
Glad you are working on it and seeing results. Glad you are going to keep working on it through the winter. This is the best time to be working on your swing so next season you play great golf. This is exactly what I want people to do. Keep at it.
I purchased your Body Swing program in 2018. Approaching 70 yrs old , having had back surgery a while back and with achy knees , I had just resigned myself to the fact that you cannot fight Father Time. Not so……your Body Swing program is like the fountain of youth for us senior golfers - it’s allowed me to actually maintain and sometimes INCREASE how far I hit the ball. And what I most appreciate is how you continue to post more videos which serve as like a refresher for your Body Swing program.. I know you post these videos hoping to entice people to possibly purchase your program - and they should - you deserve it as you give so much and you deserve to get something back for all of your dedication and efforts.
Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it. Glad you are doing well with The Body Swing. Anyone can do this. Just need to do it a little different way. Glad you like the tips. Yes, everything I do is based on the same thing and if I can help people ... great. So many people out there still struggling with the swing. Can't be much fun. I will keep doing what I do and maybe one day they will all be turning their arms off. We probably both won't be here to see it.
I been using the body swing for some time, I tell all my friends about it. It really works. People ask me how I hit it so far and make it look effortless. I direct everyone to Paul Wison and the body swing. I'm still learning and practicing, currently averaging between 260 and 280. Working on lag for speed, Thank you Paul!
Thanks for the support and promo to others. I appreciate it. 260-280 is great. That will turn heads plus doing it effortlessly. Wow. Lag? Here you go:
ruclips.net/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/видео.html
Need to do it daily for 30 days. Do that and 300 is in site.
Might as well watch this one too:
ruclips.net/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/видео.html
Stick to those for 30 days. Nothing else.
Another great instructional video Paul. Always appreciate the lessons.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks. This one should prove than there hitting hard is not the way to do it. Hopefully people try something different.
Right on, Paul, as usual! Thank you all the advice.
You're welcome. Thanks for the support.
This is very true. Been golfing for several months, all the while I was gripping my clubs so tight my fingers could've gone blue. The moment I loosened my grip and wrists the swing became immediately easier, smoother, less painful and much more consistent. Very important lesson indeed
Very good. Being all locked up like that was never going to work. Glad you found me and see the difference. You use the legs and hips for power not the arms. Knowing that at this early stage of your learning will literally save you years of frustration.
"Connect the arm unit to the body, which is turning"... pure gold, Paul. Btw, I was having a bad round the other day and, at the turn, started doing your arm loosening drill ("How to Get that Effortless Powerful Swing") and shot ten shots lower on the back nine than on the front!! Loose wrists, baby!!!
No doubt. This is key. There are 2 parts to it. Get one then work on the other. Next time, remember my drill/tips before you play. Gold. Pure gold.
it is pure gold. i was thinking about this all day, trying to find some tuition on arm movements across the body when swinging. i seen some still images of how pro players are stay/rotate with the body. but it never fully clicked until i watching this video. just let the arms chill get a good rotation and flick those wrists at the right time. seen a few say they were getting 30-50 yards extra on drives. which is amazing and i will be going to the range with my woods/hybrids in the morning to try this.
Wow that’s amazing 56 with that swing speed. Your channel has helped me so much. I was barely able to get 200 yds before after following tips I have been able to hit 250 plus. Thank you your the best.
Very good. Such a great feeling when you start getting distance. Keep up the good work.
I tried to do this a few weeks ago because I was so sick of hitting terrible drives. I just coiled & uncoiled with my body with loose wrists (allowing them to hinge and unhinge). I couldn't believe the sound, the ball flight and the distance. It was also crazy how much my arms felt like they were doing NOTHING. My drive carried 50 yards further than my usual ones.
I'm a believer!
Glad you tried it and saw results. This is what it's all about. If I can get people to at least try it for more than 3 balls they will see how powerful it is. Just need to keep doing it until you see it (which you did). Now stay focused into the future. It gets exciting and we get greedy.

Great advice Paul as always! Hinge Re-hinge. Plus pair it with tilt the body backwards a bit.
For me, without tilting my body, I found I swing over the top, and slicing it. So its Hinge, Tilt, Rehinge!
Well if you are slicing it you get rid of the slice spin first by rolling it from the top. Once you can hook it you are doing half right. At this point you switch to body rotation to straighten it out. It is that simple.
Tried the wrist hinge today and had an exceptionally fine round. Will continue to work on it. Many thanks!
Great to hear! So many tight people out there. It is a whole new world once you loosen up. Now stay loose!
Thanks for another great video, you're a wonderful teacher!!!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks.
Hey Paul another great video back using your technique it's amazing effortless power
Thanks so much. Glad you are back. Keep at it.
You’d good- it’s so easy! Beautifully explained, thanks as always Paul!
Glad you think so! Thanks so much.
Great video. The key, as you said, is a firm grip with loose wrists. It’s a tough feel to build but well worth it. I think you also have to couple that in with a bit of rotation to avoid flipping. Everyone flips (releases the wrist angles) but it’s where that release happens that determines the dynamic loft delivered. Keep up the good work 🏌🏻♂️
Exactly. Takes work. You certainly do need rotation to stop flipping. As I keep saying at least 90% of everyone I have even taught had almost zero rotation at impact so this is a huge problem for sure.
Such a great teacher. Thanks Paul. Love it. Funny as well. 👍
Thanks for the support. I've decided I'm going in to stand up.
Great video as always. It helps me to swing loosely if I focus on the swoosh sound at or after hitting the ball. Otherwise I tense up and rush the downswing.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Anything to get you to swing looser is good. If that works for you keep doing it.
Tension is an absolute KILLER in the golf swing! I was never taught to just let the club go. I had fallen into a trap of trying to steer the ball and I just lost all my speed. I went from an unskilled player that could hit the ball 250-260 no problem, and then took lessons. I had to relearn the golf swing and have a beautiful easy looking single pane swing now, but lost a bunch of distance. Too much tension. This reminded me I need remember to just let the club go again.
Thanks Paul, another helpful tip!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Great video Paul, every time I loose effortless distance it always comes back to tightening up. It takes focus to get back that crack the whip feeling at the bottom of your swing. The million dollar question is why do we let ourselves get tensed up over time. I have not focused on the reps you mention in these comments, know that will help. Always great instruction, thanks.
For sure. It is human nature to hit the object sitting in front of you. So you need to change your thought. Watch this tip:
ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html
I have used your method for a few years. Last week I went to an indoor simulator with some low handicap golfers. I am about an 18 handicap, mostly because I don’t play often. I am 63. I was swinging at 102-108 swing speed. They were impressed and kept asking how I could get that speed. 😂 the 6 handicapper actually asked to record my swing.
Now that's funny. You had to be grinning from ear to ear. Those are great numbers. Keep up the good work. Let's get you down to a 6 hdcp. Easily done.
Excellent! That whip motion with the wrists really compliments club head speed with minor effort.
For sure. The looseness is where the speed comes from but you have to attach this arm unit to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. Loose is key though.
Paul you are the best!" Thank you for this lesson.
Thank you so much. There is so much wasted energy out there. If people can see me do this than it should be clear that anyone can do this and do it for life. Just need to do it with the body not the arms. Glad you see it. Stay focused and do lots of daily practice swings around the house. This is the fastest way to get it.
Great! I‘m struggling currently because i‘m using only my arms to generate speed. Result: max. 95mph. With your tips i‘m will continue to break 100. Thanks und greetings from Germany
Glad you see it. If you are 95 with just arms you can get it well over 100mph without issue. So start loosening and get the fluidity of the release then start adding body rotation as the power source. You've got this. Do these 2 drills daily and in a month you will be killing it:

This is important too:
ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html
I've watched many of Paul's videos, and have attempted with varying success to follow his technique. Recently, I ran across another youtuber, and he was swinging the club one handed to demonstrate a point that I don't even remember. But I started swinging one handed (left hand) as a warmup, (I play right handed) and the light bulb went on. Since I only had one hand on the club, I HAD to swing with my body and let my left wrist hinge and unhinge. Then I take a couple practice swings with both hands, but keeping the feeling with just swinging with one hand, and hit my shot. The results and especially the feeling was night and day compared to before. I'd be lucky to get 180, now consistently over 200. I'm also using this when I hit my fairways off a tee for long par 3s or short 4's. I was really terrible at that before. The last club I need to translate that feeling to is my irons, not quite there yet. The one issue I have is if I get a bit too quick with my hands on the downswing I push or fade it right (with driver). But I can fix that by letting my hands lag behind. I may be wrong as I've said it before but I think I've finally got it.
I did this tip in the past. Glad you at least found one and tried it. Keep at it.
Thank you. I always go back to your clips for correction. I used to look at the ball and make sure I hit the ball hard. It always end up less accurate and inconsistent. After taking your tips by just focusing on from point A to B and the ball just happens to be in the way. It just hits solid. I still need to turn the hip and ensure my body memorizes it. I did master to let the wrist loosen up during my swing. It was awkward at the beginning and now is a norm for me. I can hear the whooping sound by not swing out of my shoes. thank you.
Thanks for thinking about the tips. Glad you see A to B. This is huge. Sounds like you get the concept and the loose feeling I want you to have. Great! Keep at it.
Loved the slow motion swing… really helps to break it down
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
I watched your videos years ago and did not get it right and strayed away but recently after a lot of bad play I watched some of them again and have really found some great improvement. For me I've found that thinking of the wrists as a hinge with no muscle when they unhinge and rehinge is the secret. So I think of mostly unhinging with no muscle used while still holding on to the club securely. Its kind of like a drummer can move his wrists and drumsticks faster by just hinging and unhinging them in a swinging motion than if he were trying to use his wrist muscles. The same thing with a guitar player strumming super fast. I've hit the ball farther and straighter using this loose swing with a neutral grip with much less effort. I have had success also using the same principal to unwinding my whole upper body. If you swing to the top where your wrists are fully hinged your body will be fully coiled or wound up or "hinged" and you will be on your right leg, if you just kind of fall onto your left leg and just unwind your body without exerting muscle effort your hips will turn naturally leading the way. I think your hips will naturally "fire" smoother and faster if you try to not use muscle to rotate them but just think of your body unwinding with no effort and your body will sequence everything naturally... ?? So less effort gives more smooth speed?? does this makes sense?? it seems to work for me.
Glad you are back and seeing improvement. Now you see the role of the arm unit. This is huge. It is secure grip loose wrists. Not sure why people think I teach a loose grip. I like what you are saying in the rest of the comment. Ideally you want this stuff happening on its own but for most they have to work on the pieces. I would keep doing what you are doing. Keep in mind also if you are not trying to hit anything why would your arms lead? If they were turned off at the top your body would always start first. So keep doing what you are doing. You are right on track. Stay focused and master it.
Love the videos Paul. Everything you recommend is very logical; and when I actually do it (swing loosely), I see tremendous results.....significantly longer (and straighter!). I've been working on it for a few months now and the main challenge is shutting off my brain....so hard to make my brain shut off and quit "hitting at the ball". 80% of my swings are still trying to hit it! Working on that.......
Glad you liked the tips. Thanks so much. Glad you are doing well. This is what it's all about. As far as wanting to hit you here's why:
ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html
So to stop doing that you need a new thought or image to be thinking about. I got it when I understood Iron Byron. In no way does it hit or help the shot with it's arm. The arm only moves when it's motor turns it's driveshaft. I will be posting tips on this in the future. This was what got me to stop hitting maybe it will help you too.
Watch the video on my homepage:

Thanks Paul, makes total sense. I'll be working on it! Dang human nature!
Love your videos, especially the grip video
Glad you like them! Thanks so much. The grip is vital for sure. Glad you like that one.
Thanks....good tip. I'm 78 and certainly need help with swing speed. Using my "muscle swing" I only drive the ball about 150-160 now. In my younger days that was my distance with 7 iron. Guessing my swing speed now is about 60 mph or so. Would LOVE to get it up much higher!!
You are exactly who I cater to. I see this all of the time. You are literally using physical strength to hit the ball. As you see you won't hit it very far. You need to loosen the arms and wrists coming down and through. Then you need to turn your body faster to get the power. You see in this video how little effort I can put in an get it to 100mph. I am not straining to do it. I am barely moving. So you need the arm unit to unlock first. You then work on the body. You coil going back and uncoil coming down and through. This creates a whip. So start with these:

Make sure you are going all the way back and all the way through:
ruclips.net/video/SXYGdyrEhnU/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/a8uIUyRF52Y/видео.html
Then do this downswing trigger to hit the ball:
ruclips.net/video/RdphthCQ9VM/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/FV8uSZ16Bys/видео.html
1:32 - The man himself. The myth, the legend. That swing sequence is excellent. In the downswing, still the best trail arm connected to torso anywhere. The stored energy in that trail arm and wrist, all released at the right time, is second to none. As soon as he starts that downsing, the trail arm drops to the side of his torso, and you never see his arm trail separate from his torso at anytime in the downswing, until just before impact. Most people do just the opposite, they throw the club away from their body at the start of their downswing. Lower body rotation keeps his swing sequence in order. Just pure gold!
Too funny. I have never thought of the trail arm ... ever. You get this by not hitting with the arms. Instead turn them off and use your body as the power source. Yes, most are just whacking away thinking it's going to happen. That day never comes.
Just a hacker here, but Google translator didn't work on your comment lol. Could you explain that for the non golf speaking public?
Wow! I've been learning golf for about 18 months now and have been doing exactly what you say - swinging out of my shoes and the ball has only been able to reach 220-230 MAX.
I've been controlling it as much as I can, which has led to so little speed with maximum physical effort.
With this new tip, I can swing so easy and I can still get the ball 250+ on my launch monitor. Absolutely game changer, now I just need to figure out how to keep control of the clubface, so I know where it's going, but at least I've got the distance I need! THANK YOU!
For sure. As much as you may think it's about hitting you are not physically strong enough to hit it longer. I am using simple physics of mass swinging around an axis. Not hitting at all. Glad you are making the switch. Once you do you will never go back to hitting.
Adding to this drill also we can do your ear to ear drill … thanks for all your help !
Ear to ear is huge. Hope you're still doing it or hope you have it mastered. That alone will get you hitting it way longer.
I'm inspired & I'm gonna give it a try as soon as it warms up next week.
My just turned 13 yr old grandson is 5'6" and 120 lbs and still growing. He is bombing his drives and his swing speed is 105-110. The average pro is around 116mph, so it is amazing to me that he can bomb a drive 300 yd and hit 8 irons 175. Now he needs to learn how to chip and putt and manage his game. It may take a while because he plays baseball. The good news is that his golf swing doesn't look anything like most baseball player swings. It looks like a well tuned golf swing.
That's great. Kids get it so fast. They have minimal arm strength so they are not hitting versus adult who have arm strength. Watch: ruclips.net/video/I8WRHJkTzyY/видео.html
Shows exactly what I mean and the difference between kids and adults.
I absolutely love love your idea 💡 my game needs a ton of work because all I use is my arms, and you know that is not working. I want to learn way. Your content is Game Changer. How much for lessons
Glad you like it. Learn to swing this way you have it for life. Stay focused and make the switch. Here is my lesson pricing: www.paulwilsongolf.com/site/lessons-paul-wilson
I will definitely be trying this on the range Paul because I am loosing distance now that I'm old many thanks

Glad you liked it. Just shows you that if I can do that anyone can do this. Just need to have super loose wrists and turn your body. Stay focused and work towards this. Once you get it you have it for life.
Always great stuff‼😁
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Great lesson! I'm subscribing!!
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Anyone can do it. Need to really loosen and fire the lower body for power.
Thanks Paul, I definitely want to give this a try. I’m a 56-year-old who swings pretty slow (75 - 80 currently). I wish I could see a Slo-mo replay of how the wrist are flexing during the swing and how the hands may roll over from one side to the other during the swing? But definitely some thing I want to work on and plan on starting this afternoon.
Yeah that is way too slow you need to get moving otherwise you will always be too slow. Work on the release drills here:
ruclips.net/video/M868QsTlGt4/видео.html

ruclips.net/video/N-nGM6yN790/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/видео.html
Get every ball hooking. At this point your release is happening too early but at least it is working. Now you can start firing the lower harder and harder to straighten it out.

You da man Paul another great tip ⛳️😊😊😊
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Literally repeated this mantra (hinge, rehinge) in my head at the range yesterday and on the course today. Some of my best drives! Just need to fix the occasional slice...
Very good. This is what it takes. If you are thinking of that why would you be thinking "I'm going to kill this one?" Just need to change the way to think. Once you master that part your thought need to switch to coil/uncoil.
I've been going to the range a lot recently and you're right; ALL the good young kids move their hips first in the downswing. And you see the adults and most of them just have these savage looking swings (not in a good way) like they are chopping wood with their arms. I think adults try a couple of loose swings and give up too easily they can't make contact. Keep at it! Swing like a child.
They sure do. Glad you see it. I did a tip on it here:
ruclips.net/video/I8WRHJkTzyY/видео.html
I recently started playing, over 40, relatively strong in a worker sort of way but not athletic or coordinated, and other than sporadic trips to the range no golf experience to speak of. Driver really intimidated me because I just tended to drive the ball or the club head into the ground despite having what looked like a pretty decent stance and grip. Went to the range today with the key takeaway of "loose" and carried around 190 right out of the gate and by the end of the bucket I was starting to get into the groove and pushing 220. Up to this point a "good" drive for me, really trying to force it, was maybe carrying 170 on lucky 1 in 20 hit. I have a lot of work to do on consistency but now I know I probably have the capability to carry at least 250 with more practice, and I also didn't pull any muscles chunking the club into the ground this time. Total game changer!
Glad you got into golf. It's a game for life so we need a swing for life. Hitting hard is not going to do it. Sure, you might get lucky and hit a few good ones but they will be few and far between plus you run the risk of hurting yourself. So we need to focus on technique. If a young kid can hit it longer than you they are doing it a different way that you (they are not strong). I think you get this concept. I make the positions and movements simple so people actually get the concept and what they need to do. If you want to get this fast do daily practice swings at home. Waiting to go to the range twice a week is not enough. As you do practice swings you learn the moves fast. Then as you keep doing them you will do them with the ball. Try to hit most of the balls as you are working on it with a 7 iron teed up a little to give you room for error. If you hit the ball on the ground you need to be perfect. On a tee and you don't have to be perfect so you can see if your changes are working.
See the swing in 2 parts. The arm unit which hinges and rehinges. Then the body which coils and uncoils. The wrists affect spin. The body affects direction. Start with these and keep me posted:

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for all the advice and recommendations Paul! I'm loving this game so far, not only is it fun in and of itself but also been a great reason to get together with family and do something other than just sit in front of a screen watching other people play sports.
Paul you are absolutely right
Glad you are with me.
Paul thanks for this info. FYI I'm using this tip for... believe it or not... my tennis serve! I'm thinking loose wrist, letting the racket whip thru the hitting zone and hitting my serves significantly harder! (It's winter here so I have to wait a few weeks to try it in golf.)
Exactly. This is the first half.
Finally a video that talks about the wrist hinge and snap. Too many coaches forget beginner swing movement. Did all these coaches and pros start with relaxed swing???
All of these pros started as kids with minimal arm strength. Minimal strength swinging mom or dad's club and you get the hinging and rehinging automatically. If you started as an adult you had arm strength. Put a stationary object in front of someone and human nature is telling you to hit it and hit it hard. I have been teaching the effects of human nature for years. I did a tip on this here:
ruclips.net/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/видео.html
Then to get the hinging and rehinging you need to go against human nature again here: ruclips.net/video/URlX7BBFohc/видео.html
If you don't know this you will never do it. Human nature (and the ball) are a powerful force.
Lots of good information in this video; I'm hoping that one day it will all click!
Thanks again Paul. Now, instead of 5 points of mechanics to think about in my downswing, I'm forcing my self to only one swing thought...Loose and easy. It does work. I notice when I flub a shot, it was muscled in. A hard habit to break after 40 years of wrong.
Very good. Just make this stuff simple. Loosen up and get results fast. Once you can do that you get confidence. Later on you can tweak it if necessary. Simple is the key. Oh yeah, not hitting too. That's and even bigger key.
@@paulwilsongolf topo++1
I finally got what it means and feels like to loosen the wrists. Changed my game!
Very good. Glad you kept trying and finally got it. Now never hit with the arms ever again.
Love this video. I’m working on it and can see the potential but still too tight. I believe this is the way to go.
You can do it! Need to do the drill I posted the other day daily for 1 month. Hopefully, you are still doing it.
@@paulwilsongolf I am sir. 😊
Great video awesome as always
Glad you liked it. Makes people scratch their head and maybe realize that hitting hard is not the way.
Great lesson!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
Paul I love your videos and methods. My distance has improved tremendously thru my whole golf bag, my grip is neutral favouring weak. I’ve developed a duck hook with my driver and longer clubs and if I tilt behind on my driver, I block it and push it way right. Any tips?
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Glad you are doing well. I love hearing it. You need to watch this tip:
ruclips.net/video/FOB9geBbyFA/видео.html
Good stuff Paul!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Buddy …. Best video ever, mind blown
Thanks so much. I though this would be eye opening.
So, this must be my year. As I have said in comments before, after years of listening to Paul, I finally heard him!! I started loosening up and separating my hips from my arms and wrists. The improvement was immediate.
For the past few weeks I have been doing up to 100 practice swings a day in my yard just getting in the repetitions and feeling of a loose full body swing.
I went to the range earlier this week and WOW! I was hitting the ball farther than ever and while there was still a slice here and there, I found that I was hitting it straight with way more consistency.
I am playing a round this weekend and am excited to see how it goes. Overall, I feel way more relaxed when I swing. It is amazing.
Thank you Paul!
That's great. I keep saying it. It is up to people to hear it. Glad you are doing daily practice swings. 100 is perfect. As for the slice you need to master the rollover. You can just do this at home nightly.

Do it as much as you can. Get this fixed then you will have it with any club ... forever.
How did that round go?
Very good. Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
I love your lessons and have improved my game by implementing your body swing method. Being smooth has been a game changer Taking the arms out of the equation works great until i get to 30 yards in. This used to be the best part of my game and now its absolutely horrible. Can I use my arms and less wrist for the finesse shots near the green.
Glad you are doing well. Glad you like the lessons. For short pitches you need to set the hinge then turn to hit the shot. This is what I teach. So do your neutral grip, taller wet up with shorter clubs, ball position is slightly forward of center. Narrow stance. Then you are thinking of the butt of the club. You take the butt and point it at your target. This is the backswing. There is very little arm movement. You set the hinge. Then you switch to turning your belt buckle to hit the shot. So it's HINGE/TURN. That's it.
Loosened up my arms hand and wrist on the range yesterday and on my 1st swing I sent my driver 30yds out onto the range. The club traveled farther than the ball! Gueese I need to work on this a lil more!.
Very good. Now you've see the power of it. Keep doing it so you get used to it then fly every ball out of the range.
Great tip as ever Paul. Any way I can send you a video to look at? I watched your drills as suggested the other day and I still can't fic my path :(
I don't really do analysis anymore. They take too long and I don't have time. I do watch swings live on my app CoachLink. This is live video coaching. If you are still swinging over the top you are still using your arms. Turn them off. Do this drill until mastered:

paul Great teacher i learn more from him then anyone i so far amazing how some teachers connect more then others
Thanks so much. Simple is the key. Too many people are making this way too complicated.
Thanks Paul. Your vids are genius. I understand the 'snap' of the whip makes the magic speed and I noticed in your slow swings in the video, you appear to snap about a foot beyond the tee. Is that right? Or, should it be at the tee?
Thanks so much. The release point moves once you add the body. I talk about it here:

Wow that total changes the dynamic of my swing. I played a fair bit of golf when I was a teenager and have just started again. I think I have been trying to muscle it. I started taking my top thumb off the club so I can go further on my back swing and create some drag and then trying to muscle it. I’ve got blisters, a pulled muscle in my back and felt like I got hit by a train this morning when I woke up after hitting a few hundred shots yesterday. It’s weird because I can hit my wedges great this way but I have no control on anything lower. I think my issue is an improper hinge.
Yep, you are hitting with arms. I have fixed countless people who took a break from golf get their swing back. It's easy because they have used their body in the past. Take the break and you start hitting with the arms (which will never work). I just need to get them to loosen the wrists and use their body again to power the swing.
Watch this first to understand why taking a break lost your swing:

Get the ball hooking and loose the wrists. Once you can do that you then start firing the lower body harder/quicker/faster to straighten it out. Not sure what your downswing trigger is but something in your legs and hips you use to hit the ball.
This is the easiest trigger:

As you do this there is timing between the release and the legs and hips so you need to watch this to learn exactly how hard you need to fire your hips:

This is literally days or a week or two of work maximum to get it back.
@@paulwilsongolfThanks Paul. I’ll watch those videos tonight
Put wd 40 on my door hinges and they work perfect now paul . Thanks for thetip
Glad to help. Now it's onto your golf swing.
I'm doing what Paul is teaching and my game has improved immensely... All my golfing friends tell me I have an effortless swing... At 69 years old I drive with an 80% middle left, middle right down the fairway with an occasional duff drive... my average drive is 210 to 225 yards... and play off an 18 handicap... My arms and body never ache from golfing because I follow Paul's pain free, effortless golf swing...
Cheers from England Paul and all you golfers around the world.. ⛳🏌♂️
So glad you are doing well. When your friends start seeing it is when you know you are starting to get it. That's pretty good distance. Once you are ready for more then be even looser in the wrists and turn a little faster. If you don't want more lets perfect the movements and positions and get you to single digits. Easily done. I was born in England. Near Hull.
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
Man oh man, I really swing with all arms I really hope this works for me!
I am 58 and driver swing speed is 96-101 MPH and I am giving it everything. Probably looks like I am using an axe to cut down a tree. Will have to try this
Yes, you are literally maxed out. I am doing it a different way. I am hitting it with looseness no physical strength. Do these 2 drills and I will get you to 300.

@@paulwilsongolf Went to the course after my comment and took your advice and went from an average of 96MPH before to averaging 104 MPH and even reached 106 MPH (I was using a Garmin device to measure). Distance up by at least 10 yards. Then played in the Saturday comp and hit every fairway, shot 4 over par, my handicap is 4, but shot 4 over easy. YOUR ADVICE IS JUST GOLD PAUL. Thanks from Australia.
Wow! Nice increase. Keep at it.
Great "simple " video to follow re increasing swing speed! Yes I am one of those people who at the age of 60, struggle to break 90mph w my driver and it is because I am too stiff/too rigid! This teaching video seems to make it so simple! My question is: it is winter where I live so if I do not have enough ceiling height to make a full swing, could I get an old driver/cut it down and then make a swing or would it be better to maybe get a shorter weighted club? Also: do u have any other videos on how to get "loose" in the wrists/hands/shoulders etc or exercises to do? Thanks and keep up the great videos and instruction!
Need to be super loose. Just try it but not for 3 balls and quit. Need to do it for a bucket. Super loose. Watch and do this:
ruclips.net/video/LAejvDbw_aA/видео.html
For low ceilings grip down on your club and hold it off the ground. Where there's a will there's a way. It is about the movement and getting used to it. Just do practice swings. Almost every tip I do is about loosening up so just search a round. This is my favorite thing for tight people to do:

I can’t break 90 so 100 is my goal. You read my mind. Thanks for the video
Break 100mph you mean? Anyone can do it. Just need to know how.
Hey, gonna give this a genuine try. I'm new to golf and trying really hard to get my club head speed up. It's up at 95 but I am putting everything in to it. i'm sweating like hell after 50 hits. I'll post back a reply after a month and give feedback.
Yeah, at 95 the swing I did flew it by you. Sooooo, stop swinging that hard. Do the opposite. Watch these 2 tips and do them for 30 days:

Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support. I truly appreciate it.
Another great video Paul, Thank You! - My speed is increasing but I spray the ball left and right so I must be doing the snap bit wrong 😞 - How do I keep the clubface square through impact for longer? (like maybe from 12" before and 12" after the ball). Do I delay the snap until maybe 12" after impact? - Thanks Again! 🙂
I found the answer 😀 A quick search of your channel and you have a number of great videos explaining how to consistently square the clubface. Like most of us, you looked a bit younger 10 years ago 🤣 but the message is also consistent! Here's the link to your video for anyone interested: ruclips.net/video/dw8mMH7Cr4Q/видео.html
Thank You!
Glad you searched around. I have tips now on almost everything. I would watch this one too: ruclips.net/video/bLskGy7rulo/видео.html
The only one who gets stronger and faster with age is you Paul, lol! I had a break through moment yesterday in regards to that duck hook I was telling you about. A PGA pro who owns a driving range that I went to yesterday saw me get frustrated after hitting a couple of duck hook shots. He came up to me and recorded my swing and spent about 20 minutes with me. The culprit... Terrible posture with my driver. When I saw that video, I was standing dead straight upright with a tilt. I literally had no bend like I do when I hit my irons. I was just so programmed to stay behind the ball that I fell into this habit. No sooner did I bend at the hips and got acclimated, I could not miss. Lost the hook immediately and hit so consistent. I'd recommend a nice video on driver posture. Not sure why that never clicked with me. Now watching your video, I see you bending nicely with driver.
No doubt. I was lifting my left heel more yesterday at the range. I think I need to keep doing this. On my little launch monitor every good swing was 117mph. My nemesis is being super tight with my coil. This going me fully back. Haven't hit it like that in a while. Just unreal solid. Always remember ... it starts with the grip and setup. Both need to be checked daily. Do this in a mirror and you will never get out of position. I am guilty of this too so it is vital we keep checking.
@@paulwilsongolf thank you for responding Paul. I agree with everything you say. Is there a chance we can have a conversation. I want the tour. I'm older for my start time in golf, 45,, but I'm serious and I have natural athleticism. I know i can do it. I just need help. I feel like you need to know about my background
Sure, we can talk. Just to my website paulwilsongolf.com top right > contact us. email us and my assistant will send it. Then we can communicate.
@@paulwilsongolf perfect. Ty
Bloody hell , I just grabbed a wedge and tried this at home. Can girl that snap , feels really quick . I only swing driver around 90mph as a fairly fit 40 Yr old. I've never felt release or snap like that . Can't wait to try it.
Did you try it yet? Hope so. The snap is speed. Then connect it to your body.
@paulwilsongolf thanks for the reply . I've tried it a couple of times on a launch monitor but struggled to see little difference in all honesty. I'll keep trying .
That's a piece of how to do it not the whole thing. You have the arm unit hinging and rehinging. Then you connect this to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. The wrists are loose and the arms have no power (you are not hitting anything). So if this is the case how you would you get more power? You turn way way way way way faster. This creates a faster whip. I guarantee you are not turning anywhere near fast enough and as much as think you are loose you need to be 10 times looser. Here are the 2 drills. Do them daily for 30 days then let me know what the launch monitor is saying:

@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul , appreciate it pal
Paul, at age 65 I’m struggling just get to 80 speed, my question is can this technique be accomplished using the over sized grips? Thank you, I appreciate the feed back. John
Yes but you don't want those jumbo grips. The wider the grip the slower the hand action. Jumbo grips are too wide. Midsize are fine. At 80 mph your wrists are way too tight and you are not turning anywhere near what you have to. Here are the 2 drills you need to do daily for 30 days:

Paul - I love your videos. Your explanations and tips/drills are so easy to follow for a beginner like me. But I do have a request. I recently watched a few videos - keeping my feet close together with my PW to try and get good body rotation, loose wrists, and start my body rotating before my arms swing forward. I went to the range this morning, tried to do all that and had a miserable day, lol. So the question is - what's the best way for a newbie to learn all this? Once I start my swing, should I be trying to do them all at once? Or should I forget most of them for now and just practice one thing? I'm worried about developing bad habits if I don't at least try to do this correctly. OR is there a sequence of skills to work on, forgetting about all but one at a time? Possibly this could make a good video for beginners.
Thanks, Rich
Keep in mind it is human nature too hit the ball sitting in front of you. You need to get over this temptation. It is a movement. The ball is in the way of this movement. I would be literally at home mastering the swing. So this daily in a mirror if you can. if you go to the range never hit ball after ball. This will get you hitting. You hit a few then back up and do 3 times as many practice swings working on positions, feelings, the movement etc. Then apply this to the shot. Work mostly with a 7 iron teed up a finger height so you have room for error.
If you are a total beginner then start here to get the movement:

I would be doing 100 practice swings per day if not more. No joke you can build a great swing super fast. The problem is that people don't do daily practice swings. The go to the range once or twice a week and just smash golf balls. The ball is the problem. Get the moves. Doing them makes them important so you will want to do them with the ball. Hey, maybe we do a case study with you and I will post it on the channel? Let me know if you are interested.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks! I'd certainly be interested in a case study. Please let me know how I can write you privately. I didn't see a contact form on your website, but perhaps I missed it.

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks, I finally found it right in front of my face! The wife calls it "man eyes".
Wives are funny.
I just found this out before watching this but its hard to hit the ball like that. All that rotation without the loose wrist i hit the ball good and straight but like lpga. The loose wrist will blast the ball and feel beautiful but you'll hit alot of foul shots so it requires all year of practice
