WRIST RELEASE DRILL FOR MORE POWER

- In this tip I show you a wrist release drill to help you get more power. You can literally do this drill anywhere because you don't even need a club to do it.
Everyone is looking for more power but the great majority of golfers are going about it the wrong way. Instead of working on the getting the wrist release they literally just try to hit harder. This wrist release drill shows you the action of the wrists and give you the feeling of the wrist snap that generates serious power. Once you get this you couple it with your body and you finally have a powerful, effortless golf swing.
If you want more power make sure you are doing this wrist release drill constantly until you get the right feeling of how the club releases. If you do, you will get more power on your shots.

Being able to explain something profoundly with very few words is a sign of a great teacher. I've improved greatly after viewing a handful of your videos, thanks for the content!
Thanks so much. For over the first 10 years of teaching I would analyze my students and think "what are they hearing as I say this." This is why I say things as I say them. Glad you are doing well. That's what it's all about.
Yeah… dan maude, kerrod gray, chris ryan are all YAPPERS!!!
Yeah and some of the words they use I do not understand what they mean in relation to golf.😄
Thank you Paul...I have been trying to create speed by moving my arms and body and not understanding the missing peice..the wrist snap
Glad you found me. Yes, it is about the snap. This is a huge key. The arm unit it then connected to your body. Turn faster and they snap faster.

So good! Tried this last weekend. Saw left hand side of the course for the first time! After 3 holes it started to get fun!
Very good. See this as half right. Keep doing this at home and at the range. Get some nice hooks under you belt. Again ... see this as half right. Once you get rid of the slice spin it's all about the body to straighten it out.
Hi Paul, another great tip. I have had to re gap all my clubs this season following your chanel.
Never hit it longer,
Never hit it straighter.
Can't thank you enough Paul.
Great work!
All good problems to have. Fantastic. Glad you like the tips.
I PRACTICED THIS TODAY WITH AROUND 50 BALLS..I USED TO BE LOST COMING DOWN ON BACK SWING.I USED TO JUST BASICALLY SWEEP AROUND ON DOWNSWING AND WAS AIMLESS....THIS REALLY HELPED ME GET THAT CLUB HEAD SPEED..THANK YOU
For speed you need to get the wrists loosened up. Glad you tried it and got the feeling. Here another one:
czcams.com/video/M868QsTlGt4/video.html
Keep at it.
You showed this tip a while ago and when I tried it, it worked so well to eliminate my dreadful slice. One of the best drills you can do to instill confidence in your swing
This is a huge piece. I will keep saying it and saying it until everyone hears it. Glad you did.
This golf tip has dramatically improved my ball striking. Thank you for posting.
That's great. This is a big piece of the swing for sure. Now you should be taking your game to a whole new level. Keep at it.
Paul, with loose writs and firing my hips first, i have broke the 90 score for my last 3 rounds. This is the first time in my golfing career that this has happened. I am also getting my drives inside the 150 marker.
Very good. Exciting feeling for sure when you are heading in the right direction with your scores. Keep at it and the 80's will soon be in your future.
Ive been working on my swing for years...about 20 years ago i reread hogans 5 fundamentals...and in there he talks about pronating/supinating at impact...nothing about loose wrists..or loose arms...and so i went out to range and gave it a try......what a mess...hooking everything....couldnt time it....when i did time it...the ball had a solid strike...like 1/20 shots...and was incredible....i gave up on it.....unfortunately.....now im using loose wrists...loose arms...hinge unhinge....and am an incredible ball striker......because of other components in the swing...mainly the body....and turning with the body coiling and uncoiling and arms being passive and wrists being loose...the ball justs flies off club...straight...with less effort..and no strain...can play 36 a day easy........a golf swing is not just one component....its and interface of many components done correctly.....body swing continues to wotk for me...
Yeah that is tricky. It gets you thinking hands through impact. Here is why that happens:
czcams.com/video/RM4OX3m2-90/video.html
Get the fundamentals and you get the pronation/supination.
I really have enjoyed your videos Paul. My personal mental block has been what to do with my wrists and now I think I'm beginning to get it thanks to you.
Thanks so much. This is a huge piece of the swing. This is where you get the power so you better get them loosened up. Once you do connect the arm unit to your body and you've got it. So close now.
Awesome. This is what I'm struggling with. Thanks.
Yes, this is a huge piece of the swing. Get this and get it hooking. Remember this feeling as you start firing the lower body. You've got this.
Hey paul.i tried this last time I played and I use my body quite a bit but this was the part I was missing .it worked great ,I went from 220 to 255 and way more accurate so thanks !
Your my hero!!👍
Thanks for the support.
Thanks Paul for another great video. I stumbled on your channel by chance and wow! You have made it fun to play golf again. Keep the videos coming they are very helpful.
That's what it's all about. Got to have fun out there. Glad you found me. Thanks for the support.
Love your videos ....its crazy how I am driving the ball now and not using my arms at all .....I know I can get better still but the improvement is awesome ....
Thanks so much. Great feeling when you are starting to hit great shots. Keep at it.
Quality Paul
Am enjoying my new summer power with my new bony swing many thanks 🙏
Great to hear! Game is so much more fun when you get more distance.
Excellent instructions.
Keep up the good work 😀
Thanks, will do!
Hogan called this move hitching a ride ! Good stuff pro
Good one. Glad you liked it. Thanks.
These videos are great!
Glad you like them! Thanks.
@@paulwilsongolf serious question, with all your great videos on CZcams, they seem to cover every aspect of the swing. How much more in depth are the Body Swing book/videos?
I don't give it all away here. I teach the specific positions that will make you look like a pro as you swing (pros have the right fundamentals) and show you how to do them in the order I teach them. Plus, tons of other info too. The last section is How To Fix Your Own Swing. I have a few fixes here but not all. If you can figure it out from what I teach here then keep watching. Up to you.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks for the reply. One last question, is Ignitiin Golf and the body swing basically covering the same swing?
Yes, the Body Swing is my technique. IG is over 1300 tips. I have no time limit on tips so I go into detail on every element of the swing which all ties back to what I have taught for 34 years.
so love this channel so helpful!
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
Excellent tip! Easy to understand and implement. What more could you ask for?
Exactly. Simple is the key.
Rehinge! Not a slicer but never fully follow through because I'm afraid of the occasional pull. Great tip as usual!
I have said since lesson 1 back in 1991 the follow through is the most important position in golf. It is point B to your swing. If you are not doing it you are making the ball point B. So see it differently. Backswing point A follow through point B. Swing from A to B. Watch: czcams.com/video/gIp4ifKuZIw/video.html
paul you are great ... oldtony
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
Thanks for all these videos Paul. Appreciate all the insight and quality explanations. The way you explain it clicks for me and I’ve seen some breakthroughs with my swing. Wasn’t super consistent but I’ve made a lot of progress and am starting to really understand the Body Swing. Thank you so much, you’ve helped me tremendously. Driver is a work in progress but my irons have never felt better. Always excited to learn something new whenever you upload
I second that. I'm playing my best golf of my life at 62. Interestingly, I played baseball through college and it took Paul to slap me upside my head about the 'release'. Duh! Once he showed me I got in the groove. Feels great
Thanks for the support. The golf swing is so much like baseball. If you played at all then you should be great at golf. Release the bat for a homerun.
Where am I ? I'm watching TV. I had to joke Paul. I love your videos keep up the good work.
Thanks so much. More to come. If I can't get people up off the couch to do practice swings I'll just have to think of things they can do while sittting there.
Love this video. I assume this snap release works with all clubs, including fairway woods and driver, correct?
Yes, snap everything. This gives you the speed. Just realize that if you do this early you will hook it. No problem because this is half right. Then you add body rotation to straighten it out. Watch:
czcams.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/video.html
Paul, always enjoy your videos. As most of us are right handed do you feel that your left (lead wrist) is dominant at impact or your right one rolling over at impact? I do get some great results with my left wrist feeling dominant but wasn't sure if I'd get more accuracy/ power with my right since I'm right handed. Many thanks and thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much. I don't see either wrist as dominant. It's a unit that hinges and rehinges. Plus, I am not hitting anything. You start thinking about hands and you will hit. So see them as a hinge. They hinge ... they rehinge. They are loose. There is not power in this arm/wrist unit. Just work on these drills to get it working.

@@paulwilsongolf Thank you Paul!
I love your content Paul. I'm a work in progress. I have a question though, not regarding this video but about coiling/decoiling. When i have coiled perfectly, with the left knee behind the ball, hips at 45 degrees and all. How should i start my downswing? i have understood it as that my hips should start the downswing but it seems that it doesn't work for me. Lately i have tried to avoid using my arms and just turn my shoulders and then my hips comes along, arms falls down and i get behind the ball and get a decent finish position. Is this wrong?
Well it's certainly not what I teach. Your body is the axis. The club is mass. Turn the axis and the mass follows. I would think you just don't the right thought. There are many different triggers. Need to pick on that works and do it for life. Try these drills:

Don't forget to turn your arms off completely.
Hey Paul, thx for the video on release. When I tried this started out great! Now I can't stop hooking every shot hips or no hips. Fan the club head open at address and still duck hook it. Love the method though! Help!!!!
Your grip to too strong. Check it:
czcams.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/video.html
There is no way you are ducking hooking it with that grip.

Great videos, my half swing has become really decent thanks to you. My full swing still needs some work (often top, shank or just hit the ball a bit too high), but I will work it out thanks to you. I still have three questions:
1. I think my balls fly a bit too high if I hit them with my full swing. I don't have that problem with the half swing. Am I leaning back too hard. So I actually can play the ball further with my half swing than with my full swing (also because I am much more loose with my half swing, full swing is not that loose yet)?
2. Sometimes I do not it the ground at all (but I hit the ball pretty well, I just don't make any divots, should I feel the heel a bit earlier? I might release it too late.
3. Can one use the same technique for wedges? Loosen the wrist helped me but are there some changes that one should do except ball in the middle instead of the left side?
Glad you liked them. Top, shank, too high - all hitting with arms.
1. To high:
czcams.com/video/PZkBP21bPJU/video.html
2. Divots - czcams.com/video/_ji_zykZlY8/video.html
3. One swing all clubs for full swing. Pitching is an abbreviated version of the full swing.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks, you are a legend!
Some might say this is a flip but it’s not, you do have to let the lead wrist go into flexion but if you do the supinating flat wrist move that most will tell you to do you’ll leave face open. Just like Paul says
Right. This is a piece. It is not the whole swing. Get this piece then it's on to using your body to straighten it out (and get rid of any flipping too).
"This is a piece of the swing - it also helps close the face". Excellent, thank you Paul.
Exactly. Everyone wants everything instantly. Work on the pieces.
@@paulwilsongolf 100% agree thanks
Hi Paul, love your videos! As I loosen up my wrists I seem to have quite a cup in my left wrist at the top. I'm only working on my wrists for starters so I can't tell if it will affect my shots once I piece together other aspects of your program. I've never been able to get my club parallel to my shoulders so I suppose that's a good thing, but I want to make sure my club face should square up once I initiate my hips, because I'm doing hundreds of indoor practice swings/day. Thoughts? And do you do online lessons's??
To get rid of the cupping you need to glue the left thumb against the index finger. This will run it across your palm. If there is a gap the club is parallel to you knuckles which allows it to over cup.

I will be doing online lessons again on my app CoachLink starting in July. You can email us at my website and I will let you know when:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks for your reply and I'll see you virtually in July and perhaps in person in August!
Very good. Thanks.
Hi Paul,
Just 1 question. Why do you propose doing this drill with the lead wrist (and not with wrist of trailing arm) Just curious
Just because that is the lead arm. It is the one that is extended back and through. As you hinge and re-hinge there is also compression in the weak wrists joint that you need to get used to otherwise you will tighten up. If I get you doing it with the stronger arm are you going to hinge the weaker one? Not sure you will. Try both if you want.
Paul I tried explaining this to a good friend who watched and said "this leads to casting the club". I know it does NOT because casting is making this move at the top without or before any lower body component but how can I show my friend, or how can I explain what casting is and why this is not casting?
How can that be casting my thumb is pointing away from the target until the last millisecond before I snap it the other way? Casting is hitting with the arms from the top. Who casts it? Amateurs. All you have to do to stop casting is turn the arms off and start your body first in the downswing. Then you have the body leading and the arms trailing. A big part of getting it though is to unlock your wrists which is what this drill is doing. This is a piece of the swing not the whole swing. Here are my lag tips:

Drill 2: czcams.com/video/K-9tIkG3Jpc/video.html
Drill 3:czcams.com/video/1lj7uao01KE/video.html
I'm hitting my irons on the toe most of the time and my driver to what should I change
Here you go: czcams.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/video.html
I went to the range one day and something clicked where I was hinging my wrists and hitting the ball straight and far. Went back again and am back to hitting weak shots to the right, I lost the feeling. Its hard to stay consistent but I know the feeling I am trying to chase now at least
Well this is you thinking you've got it. When you think that you go harder and harder and you lose it. You need to watch these:
czcams.com/video/uwtP7AxpT54/video.html
czcams.com/video/guSh4B4DM8c/video.html
czcams.com/video/cNhIyhi136E/video.html
So would this be a bad idea if you don’t feel that you release the wrist/club but you already have a tendency to overdraw and hook?
That would be you with a strong grip. Need to get the release with a neutral grip. If so, you are telling it to hook instead of hooking it with a flaw. This is shy I don't teach a strong grip. If you want to learn the neutral grip follow this:
czcams.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/video.html
@@paulwilsongolf I already have a neutral grip, it isn’t strong. I think it’s more with my swing in my case
If you have a neutral grip and are hooking it then you have half. You need to work on the other half which is your body. So start turning ... quick.
czcams.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/video.html
czcams.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/video.html
If you are firing your body first and not trying to roll it with a neutral grip there is no way that ball is hooking more than a few yards.
@@paulwilsongolf no I don’t think I’m firing my body first, possibly the arms/shoulders first. I’ve only been playing 2/3 months. My good shots will be a nice draw but often I am overdrawing and hooking them. I will check that video out, thanks Paul!
Hey Paul, when I do this I end up just pulling it but it stays straight. How do I get it to start on line and hook?
You're starting down with your arms which is tilting you left in the downswing. Tilt left and you will swing left. Tilt right you will swing right. Ideally, you want a slight right tilt which happens when you start the lower first. It's like hitting the accelerator on a car. Fire the lower and the upper tilts back.

czcams.com/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/video.html (secret tip)
Can I get too flippy doing this?
Same question, I’ve always heard that synchronisation flipping the face makes it so much harder, but what do I know
What's better hooking it or slicing it? In the tip I said this is a piece of the swing. Get rid of slice spin then straighten it out with your body. This is the release not a flip. This fixes the spin. The body fixes direction. So release it early and get it hooking. Once you can do that where you feel you know the feeling then start firing the lower body. If your body moves before arms coming down you will hit it dead straight.
Hopefully, you saw my answer to Frieda. Just follow the tip. People who think this is bad have no clue what they are doing or how to fix the swing. As you add body you watch your ball. Gradually add body until you hit it straight. Push/[push fade = too much body. pull/pull hook too little body. Once you hit it straight remember how much body you used to hit it straight.
👏👏👏👍
Who else besides me was doing the thumb drill while watching the video?
I would assume everyone was doing it. Too funny.
Are you snapping your wrist with both hands 🤷♂️
Yes, as you are learning it and loosening up you would do this with both hands. This is just a one handed left handed drill to understand what I want you to do. Follow these:
