Everyone wants more clubhead speed so they can hit the ball longer. It makes sense to swing harder right? Wrong. When you swing harder, you tighten up and cause other things to happen that actually lose distance and you could actually hurt yourself.
An effortless golf swing has you swinging looser not harder. The problem is it goes against human nature. Hopefully by the time you watch this tip, you'll understand why this easy golf swing will actually hit the ball just as long, if not longer, than you ever have so it'll convince you to try it.
Once you do, you will finally generate more clubhead speed, you'll make more solid contact and you'll be playing pain free golf.

Got it Paul! I've been enjoying your videos for 4 months now and I've learned SO MUCH ! Bunkers - I'm fearless now. Putting - amazing and now the Driver. This video was my AHA moment. I've been working on turning my hips, but it hasn't been fluid like you do. So today, I swung a broom stick with loose hands and relaxed body. BAM! I've already added 25 yards to my drives this year and I believe this will add another 20+.
Thank you Paul. Your BodySwing program is excellent and worth every dollar.
Wow! That's a big jump. So glad it clicked. Stay focused. You are on your way. Keep doing the daily practice swings.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you. I've truly learned more from you than I have in 30 years of lessons. You've got something great here and I'm grateful that you share your talent.
Glad to help. Thanks for your support.
Paul, I am very thankful for the amazing results your golf instruction has made in my golf game. I tried traditional golf instruction and golf pros were trying to force my 51 year old body into painful positions I was unable to reach.
I have been doing all of your recommended practice exercises and I am amazed at how consistently pure and far I am striking the ball after 6 months of daily practice.
My handicap has dropped dramatically and continues to improve.
I recently entered a state golf tournament and shot a personal best 76.
The guys I play golf with all asked what changes I made to transform my game and I sent them to your website and CZcams videos.
Also, I no longer have back pain during and after golfing. I cannot thank you enough. You are the best golf instructor period!
Best regards,
Chris
Glad you found me. I want people to do a swing they can actually do. It has to be simple too so people actually understand what they are even trying to do. In no way should you be in pain playing golf. If you are you are doing it wrong. This is a swing for life and you put in the work now it's paying off big time. Great round you had especially in a tournament. Thanks for the promo to others. I truly appreciate it. One day everyone will be on board but I get it. They need to try everything else first. Seems like I am the last resort for most people.
Great tips Paul I’m using all of them trying to teach a old dog new tricks is Ruff
Thanks so much. You can do it!!!
This one of your many videos that I have been replaying over and over. I really enjoy watching how relaxed your golf swing is.
Thanks 👍 This is a good one. It explains why. Hopefully, that convinces people to learn it.
This video has really helped by ball striking. I am absolutely crushing long straight drives. I finally get it. Yesterday I had my best driving day ever...hit almost every fairway, in the past two weeks on the same course, i had my best drives on several holes. I’ve gone from 220 to 250 on my drives. Several times yesterday, i was less than 120 out after my tee shot. Paul, thank you for the great tips.
That's great. Exciting too! Get that little extra distance and the game is so much easier. Keep up the good work.
Paul, I don't know how much to thank you!! My distance with irons and woods has improved exceptionally since last two weeks ever since I saw those 3 videos that helped me cure over the top. And some other ones on switching off the arms..The swing feels so easy. The ball lands far ahead and straight like never before. Working in the driver tips now👍
That's great. So much easier when you get some distance.
Hell yes! Paul, the best shots I've ever hit is when my arms and wrists are very relaxed, feel like the tip of a whip, and you're "keeping the head behind the ball" is huge!. Many many thanks!
Very good. Funny how everyone says this yet they stop doing it. Into the future always keep this relaxed feeling. This will take you game to a whole new level.
Paul.. you are a legend
great advice.. you have changed my game and for that, I am very grateful
Thanks so much. So glad you are doing well. Keep up the good work.
This series the last couple of months is amazing. Been doing what you say and its is working, slowly, some ol' dogs take sometime to get it down. The main thing, for me, was the quicker hips at the start, that seemed to loosen everything else; maybe by getting that hip turn, everything else has to follow quickly/looser (club head speed) to square the face. The feeling the of the club 'weight' has made me loosen arms and wrist; got to feel the weight. Noticed less stress on my body also.
Enjoy your humor and patience and explanations. (have forwarded your link to many)
Sounds like you are on track. Keep at it. Thanks for the promo to others. I appreciate all the help I can get.
Everyday im working on it bro...i know it works for me...thanks so much
Glad to hear that
Hi Paul . Your tips have been helping me a lot . I wonder why you stopped posting new videos nowadays. I’m looking forward to you giving us more swing tips .
Glad you like the tips. We are about a month behind here weather wise. Everyday I want to shoot it's been 20 to 30 mph winds. I'll get out there at some point.
Yes, hinge and rehinge, as you put it, creates the lag needed to increase clubhead speed. To me the loosness in the arms is absolutely necessary for max lag and thus max distance for that particular golfer .Thanks Paul, enjoy your vids.
Glad you like them. Glad you are getting the concept of loose wrists.
Thanks for your support.
paul excellent!
since last week i started following your lessons.
it is just changing my result positively.
Thnksagain
Fantastic! Big things to come for you. Keep at it.
This is one of the greatest tips.... it really does help... I find this especially with my irons.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Paul, I must confess that I thought I had it but really, I didn’t. Well I REALLY do have it now. It is so different than anything I’ve used before. The body gathers AGAINST itself and then released with the hips. The hands are almost non existent which is crazy. I always thought the release was controlled with the hands and wrists but no! The release is controlled by the left side. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Paul. It is so much more fun and less draining after 18 holes and I’m not dragging. Best regards.
So glad you are getting it. It's really quite simple yet simple is difficult.
Great advice, very useful. Thanks
My pleasure!
This is where my swing needs to go. I tried this yesterday and it has improved albeit, it is not consistent. I appreciate that it takes time to develop the muscle memory to become more consistent. I also realize that even the pros have the odd miss-hit. The key for me is accepting that in golf, trying "harder" is not supporting a relaxed, effortless swing. There-in lies a significant hurdle. Yesterday, I shot 96. That is an excellent score for me. I made the perimeter of the greens on long par 5s in 3 swings....then added 4 to the cup :( , but I digress! Thank you Paul for providing a template/goal/objective that will without a doubt serve any 90-100+ golfer.
At the level you are at you have work to do on your swing. If you can keep the concept of the hand and arm unit as a unit that hinges and rehinges and it is attached to your body that is coiling and uncoiling you have the image of the swing. Then it is refining it. Power it with the legs and hips not the arms and you will be miles ahead of those trying to hit it hard all their life.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you Sir. I am out again in 2 days. I am really starting to feel a change in my form and it is translating into decent shots with less "muscle". We shall see.
At least I have a clear goal to shoot for so thanks again for that Paul.
Excellent Paul. These tips have Really helped.
Great to hear!
I’ve watched several of your vids this past week and its crazy how much sense it makes. It’s all body physics and I cant wait to get on the range later today and start working on all these tips, which are free and way better already than any paid lessons ive had in the past. what is sorely lacking in most golf instructors is they fail to explain the why’s and reasons for the correct body mechanics. I’ve been told countless times not to grip the club too hard to use a light touch like im holding a birds nest blah blah blah. What you have finally given me is the understanding of why, and it’s so we can keep our wrists loose, which is the start of a good swing. All the other tips follow this and I finally understand what I’ve been doing wrong and when I do hit good shots its likely because I’m employing some or most of your amazing tips. Would love to one day come out and get a live lesson, hats off to you my friend. I’ll report back in a few weeks.
That's because they don't know the answers. I went through this too many years ago. If you can't answer me then I don't know why it's important.
Paul Wilson Golf im playing right now and just shot the best ever on the front nine thinking about your tips at Boulder Oaks Escondido CA a 38, 6 over from the whites. Got my second ever Eagle on the 3rd. Dude, you are the fucking man! Im on way to breaking 90 for first time ever. Will report back, wish me luck.
Nice. Keep it going. If you lose it back it down a little.
Paul Wilson Golf shot an 88 Paul! Then played the front nine again and shot 5 over. This is a game changing day for me and Im in shock and awe and cant thank you enough. Ive played 15 years never broke 90 before today and I had the best round in my life because of watching like only 4-5 of your vids this past week. My God man, where have you been all my miserable golfing life, lol! Take care Brutha!
Many thanks Paul. Unbelievable results yesterday at an Open with distance increased incredibly. Being relaxed is giving me a better connection with the ball and it it so effortless. I pulled the ball off the tee only once and not sure how that happened probably tightened up.
Well done! Exciting times. Such a good feeling when you play good golf.
Your videos are Awesome, I enjoy them very much and I get a lot out of them
Glad you like them! Thanks for the support.
Probably the best set of tips I have seen in one video, superb Sir.
Thanks a ton
I took a trip to Legends in SC and in using your tips, I played the best golf that I have played in many years. I was previously playing in the low 100s. I am now in the mid 80's to low 90's. I now need to continue with your tips and if my reading green's was better I would be consistantly in the low to mid 80's. Thanks Paul for your expertise.
That's great news. So much more fun when you are playing well. This might help with putting:
czcams.com/video/TVNYaUEg1as/video.html
Also, only practice long and short putts.
gonna try this tomorrow ...tyvm
Let us know how you do.
Today at the driving range I was using my PW swinging through the ball nice and easy, it's amazing how wonderful it sounds off the face, I was aiming at the 100 yrd pin, I hit it three times and close many times. A golf instructor was teaching a young woman and he said to her, now that's what I want you to do, not knowing that I heard him. This effortless swing that Doc Wilson is teaching is to be taken serious or you can swing like a batter outta hell and keep getting hot over frustration:), all you got to lose is old bad habits. I feel great with my not so perfect yet effortless swing, but it can only get better.
Good one. That's got to put a smile on your face.
Yes... helped me a lot.
Great. Stay loose.
Awesome!
Glad you think so! Thanks.
Paul, I played today really concentrating on loose wrists loose swing and not hit at it. Really driving the ball great. After the round, i went to the range to work on the irons and wow. I'm starting to get it. Majestic high long iron shots. You are an amazing teacher. Do you ever come to NY? Amazing teaching thank you soooooo much.

Great tips! I have dropped 10 strokes from the bodyswing
Great job!
I know this was 5 months ago, but congrats Patrick! That's incredible
nice tips
Glad you like them. Thanks.
Great advice all the way around. I once had an instructor ask me to do the following drill. He asked me to throw my hardest punch and he then asked me to throw my quickest jab. Doing those two movements were vastly different even though they were both punches. When I set up to throw my hardest punch I clenched my fist and immediately tensed up getting ready to exert Max force. When I set up to throw my quickest jab my body instantly relaxed and I became very loose to get ready to snap a quick punch. That is the difference between force and speed. We need speed to hit the ball farther, we need to be loose and tension free.
Loose and tension free is a great though. Once you are though you need to use your legs and hips as the power source which you would have done on the first punch. So legs and hips of the first punch combined with loose and relaxed arms of the second.
@@paulwilsongolf agreed! The golf swing is a fairly complex movement that requires you to be loose and somewhat rigid at the same time. You cannot be so loose that you are swaying all over and have no low point consistency but you cannot also be so rigid that you have no speed. Your videos really all extremely helpful. The dropping the right elbow tip to prevent the over the top swing is really fantastic. That move also promotes keeping your head behind the ball especially with the driver swing. Can’t thank you enough 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your great swing tips. Following your advice, I have totally reshaped my golf swing, going from an arms oriented to a mostly body oriented swing. Hinging and rehinging with loose wrists and arms has placed my new swing in a higher scale. I am a 61 years old man with a 16 handicap that plays at least once a week. I feel very excited and looking forward to seeing my handicap go down to single digits. Is it a realistic goal?
Glad to help. Yes, you can get to single digits. Just have to work on the right things. Need some half decent distance. That would make it easier.
Great advice. I can feel it without actually doing it.
Thanks.
I’m a believer! If your body swing method was a religion I would be a convert. Your instructions helped uncover a huge puzzle piece in my golf swing. It’s not a perfect fit yet but at least I’m no longer searching for it. Thank you so much. I will be looking into your virtual coaching very soon. Wishing you all the best.
Very good. I like to make people understand it. That's half the battle. People are loving the app. Great way to work with anyone, anywhere in the world.
Hey Paul another great video as usual thank you? I have been an arms and hands hitter for a very long time now, the few times i tried the loose wrist teqnique i found myself flipping at the ball at impact? Any thoughts please?
Fire the lower body harder.
When one arms and grips are loosen, it is a lot easier to square and flush club head the sweet spot. Thanks, Paul!
Absolutely
Agree with previous comment. Trying to keep arms loose consistently with each club is ruff.
Yep. Got to see some good ones with a feeling of nothing. If so, it should dawn on you that there is no payoff in swinging hard.
I played 3 weeks ago using your body swing method....just flushed it.....then left for 3 week vacation....no golf ...came home.....anticipating playing golf but wondering could i conjure up the same game?....watched this video....got small bucket...focused on "loosey/goosey wrists"..and hinging & re hinging on swing over and over!....wow...just flushed it with effortless swing... ..9/7/5 iron....then driver....just kept same thought when switched to driver!...Boom!.....when i had a misshit it was from swinging to hard...especially with driver!.....arms took over...and i could feel it...tightened up!....have incorporated that loose hinge/rehinge into my pre-shot routine and tell myself hip turn/85% effort...keeping eye on back of ball to stay behind it and maintain spine tilt and eyeline tilt.....only needed 1 small bucket to collect myself where i left off! First time in 30 years after vacations have i had this happen!....thank you!....ready to play in AM!
Yeah, taking a break is a problem. Remember that human nature is telling you to hit the object sitting in front of you and hit it hard. This means you will hit with arms. Whenever you take a break in the future start off by working the wrists back and forth thinking hinge and rehinge keeping the wrists loose. Then as you did, you start out slow and build it up with the legs and hips while keeping the arms and wrists super loose. You did it and now you know how to get it back. It is really all about wanting to hit. Any break and people will always hit when they start out.
Thanks
Welcome
Hi Paul
I love your instructions and have watched most of them over the years. However I have always been an arms swinger and lack the consistency . Although I have been quite a low handicap(9) I just cannot grasp not using my arms. I have tried your effortless body golf swing but just cannot get it . Please help . How do I get the sensation of not using my arms . Its so difficult.
Cheers Edward
Work on the neutral grip first and get the wrists hinging and rehinging. Then you make the arm unit move by coiling and uncoiling your body. Keep in mind I don't want floppy arms. I teach powerless arms which is you not hitting or helping the shot in the downswing. So as you work on this you are feeling your arms. Your last step is to turn them off.

Hinge Rehinge: czcams.com/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/video.html
Secure Grip: czcams.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/video.html
Excellent video. Trying to fix this on my game. Doing this makes me suffer with a slice and less consistency
Thanks. Stay loose. Let the club release. If the face is open you are too tight. Watch: czcams.com/video/OFJOLBSXSfQ/video.html
I find this happens a lot to me too because the arms try to take over control at some point either at transition or on the downswing. If you hold your pose at the end of the swing you will immediately see the key difference between the well struck straight shot (without arms and using the body) and the swing using the arms for power.
Currently I am getting this right about 3/10. I am a slow learner/adaptor to this technique so I am guessing it will take me a while to get the consistency necessary to lower my golf scores. Worth it though in my opinion and I am enjoying learning.
Another consequence is that I am more ‘chilled’ on the course because I am no longer trying to hit the ball all the time so not firing up all that adrenaline and getting angry with the result thereby trying to hit the next drive even harder etc. This not only changes your technique, it changes your whole attitude. It takes time to make this change work though.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks so much. I golf with a family member who has his pro card so he pointed this out to me and also that I'm hitting a driver as it was a punch shot. Essentially stopping when making impact with the ball more or less. Way too robotic. It's been better since.
You’re Freaking Money!!! Need to take a trip to Vegas and thank you. You saved my swing and golf game. Money!!!!
Glad to help. Way more fun when you are not struggling. Look me up if you come to town.
I really wish I could do this correctly. I can swing 50% and hit it nice with the short irons. But when I get anything 8 iron or higher I start going after it hard to get it airborne. I keep pulling a muscle on the right side of my back and it keeps me from playing for a couple of weeks!!! I need to get this!!! Thanks Mr. Wilson
Well now you've seen this tip you should be convinced to do it with your other clubs. Yes, it is different so just try it and start getting used to it. It might take a bucket or two but in no time you will get the feeling and you will see some amazing shots. Do this drill until you have it mastered then add body for more power: czcams.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/video.html
Hi Paul
Super video and very good explanation.
One quick thought can you please give me one and only one tip to move hips first before I start downswing. I thought about left leg straightening first. Is that ok.
Thanks something very dimple please.
Yes, absolutely. That is one of the dwonswing triggers I teach.
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.
Will try it after hurricane Sally passes through. Thanks again
God damn my dude, you are the best youtube coach out there. I really do understand all you are saying, but replicating it is super hard!
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. Just do this drill until mastered. I call it taming the wild stallion (you):
czcams.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/video.html
Once you get that you fire the lower harder for more power.
@@paulwilsongolf Oh wow, thanks for replying. I am super tented to get your paid drills... Who knows, keep up the great work and I might!
Up to you. I lay it out in step by step format and there are things in the videos I don't give away on YT. For me, I have always liked step but step. This is why I laid the videos out in that order. Keep at it.
@@paulwilsongolf You are great, thanks
I agree, gave me an extra 20 to 30 yards, lost accuracy which was more important
Very good. This is what I want to hear.
I do all above, I need to do a lesson with you.

Hi Paul, love the content, have watched your swing, face on and down the line, any chance of getting a butt view of your driver and iron shots or am I asking to much . . .
Thanks. I have my swings on my other channel. I will publish them soon.
Hi Paul, do you have videos showing how to hit a draw and a fade? I know you teach straight shots but sometimes certain holes as you know require a shot shape. Thanks
This is what I have so far:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul
Nice vid Paul. I bowed my wrist at the top like DJ can i still do this?
Thanks. I don't really like that bowed position. It creates face manipulation. How are you going to square the face within a few degrees each time especially if you aren't playing and practicing every day?
I do it because i can feel that i can square the club up sooner but i will try to make my wrist more neutral. Thanks for the advice
hi Paul, more reasons to switch to an effortless swing.. I have been trying to switch from a swing I have developed over 40+years, and played fairly well.. Switching to this swing has been a challenge in that to eliminate my arms, I have done your drills on wrist hinge etc.. Question I have, is the set up.. aka, distance from the ball-- with a looser swing, one would have to set up further? as "conventional" swing would be closer?-- would that be correct.. As it is a new feeling/swing that inconsistency is "consistent".. I know it will take awhile to get it, as it took me 40+years with my old swing.. thanks.
No real change in distance to the ball. Toe slightly higher than the heel then measure the butt to belt buckle at 6-7". Make sure you see the simplicity of the swing. I used to make it complicated and it got me nowhere. Simple is the key. See the wrists hinging and rehinging this unit is attached to the body coiling and uncoiling. It really is that simple. You watch your ball to tell what is or isn't working.
Hi Paul, do you prefer for the body swing , a stiff or regular shaft?
The shafts you play depends on your swing. I would get professionally fitted.
Paul - When I swing looser I notice that the iron head hits the ground during impact while at the ball, is this the right sensation? The ball freaking flies and gets great height but it does feel as if I am "hitting" the ball but I am swinging through..... Thanks
You need to hit the ball then the ground.

And:
czcams.com/video/RM4OX3m2-90/video.html
Sorry for long post but question I have is you say you are actively pushing off of your back instep and that is fascinating as I always just thought of it as a kind of brace. How hard are you actually pushing off your back leg and any drill for doing this?
I used to push super hard but about 4 years ago I had some hip pain (from teeing up million of golf balls for my students) so I am not pushing hard anymore. So you can try it. Dig in and push hard. Build it up though.
Paul, what shaft flex do you prefer for yourself and for loose swingers with decent relative speed? Ed
I use x-flex shafts. This is dependent on many factors so I can't really specify what would work for you. I you are over high 90's with driver I would say stiff.
Paul Wilson Golf . Thanks for plenty guidance.
Hi Paul, when I swing this loose I have the tendency for the club face to be miles open at impact with driver and irons and I hit a massive push slice. Do you have any videos which could help me with this please?
You are driving the lower too hard. All you have to do is hook 10 in a row. Once you can do that you switch back to firing the lower and it will be dead straight.
@@paulwilsongolf thank you Paul 👍🏻
I watch all of your videos and I’m learning so much. How much of a role does flexibility play in the looser swing. I feel locked up by my hips and hamstrings. Like they’re stopping me from rotating. I’m 40 yo 5’10” 180 lbs. former college basketball player so I have some athleticism. I can’t tell if it’s in my head or I’m not flexible enough for a fluid swing. Help!
Well, I am about the tightest person on earth so flexibility is a bit of an issue. What you need to do is get the depth at 3/4 back. I just did a tip on this here. Focus there and you will have the coil all the way to the top. This is what I do: czcams.com/video/bHA7fiechXg/video.html
czcams.com/video/p01V-9euZTs/video.html
@@paulwilsongolf super helpful! even just knowing that you’re a fellow inflexible removes the mental barrier that I won’t be able to replicate your powerful effortless swing. Your videos are the first to truly help my game.
Here's ANOTHER THING you just said that most other golf teachers DON'T TEACH ! You said , " I want you to hold it 8 OUT OF 10 " as far as gripping the golf club goes whereas the majority of other teachers say grip it " 3 OR 4 out of 10 " . I always wondered how the HELL you can even HOLD ONTO THE CLUB gripping it THAT LIGHT so once again I like YOUR teachings ALOT BETTER ! Like you said it's not THE GRIP that needs to be REAL LOOSE - it's THE ARMS !
Thanks again.
whats the best way to swing loose on control distance shots..shouldnt you be more lower body still on say like 50 60 70 yard shots ?
You are hinging and turning then varying the speed of your body.
@@paulwilsongolf ok i put together my 3 wedges today to learn to play more with them so i dont have to slow down to much
Does it make sense to use my core muscles to draw the club back rather than my arms?
This is what I do. Not necessarily the core but body rotation. My arms are literally turned off and I allow them to follow my body. So yes, try it. If you turn your body the same way each time the arms would follow the same each time.
@@paulwilsongolf I hit 140 balls at the range yesterday. Your tips helped but I’m developing a nasty blister on the inside of my left index finger. Any idea what I’m doing wrong based on the blister?
This reminds me of a tip from years ago, imagine your club filled with water, tip the water on the mat
Never heard that one before.
Loosening up sounds easy but it is pretty hard to do. I teach an instrument and I tell students to relax and loosen their wrists. Kids don't have muscles so it is easier, but adults usually have a very difficult time loosening up. Some never loosen up and others could take years.
Adults have to think differently by overcoming human nature. Watch: czcams.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/video.html
What’s your take on Bryson. He doesn’t swing loose. Maybe what he does works for him but may not for others
Bryson certainly hinges and rehinges his wrists. I just watched his swing yesterday. He is certainly using his legs and hips too. His experiment was more distance. I didn't think it was going to work but it is starting to. He is a pro with an amazing short game. So he can hit it long and still get the ball in the hole. Not sure it will continue. We'll see. I want the average player to actually play great golf for life. The average player is already hitting hard and it is not working. So it is time to do something else. Let's turn the arms off and see what happens.
I think I lock up simply because the ground is there. Anytime I want to have loose wrist I just imagine its gonna hit the ground and stop .therefore I tense up because I feel the need to control the club with my arms. This is killing my game right now.
When your arms a relaxed hitting the ground doesn't hurt in any way so in the future stay loose and stop caring about hitting the ground.
8:56 I notice the ball is not exactly centered with the driver face but it’s closer to the toe. Is that intentional?
I do line it off the toe. I was a George Knudson follower years ago. He wanted off the toe so when your arms stretch out it hits the center. I checked his swing. This is not the case. His head moved forward slightly. Look him up. He was compared to Hogan with his ball striking. Won 4 times on the tour.
@@paulwilsongolf have you mentioned this line off the toe in any of your videos? After noticing this, I started lining it off the toe and found I started making center contact on my drives vs hitting the heel when I lined it up with the center of the driver face.
I was a follower of George Knudson (look him up) many years ago. He want it lined off the toe to allow for inertia pulling the arms out through impact. Once you get used it it it's kind off hard to line in the middle again. Feels kind of cramped. If it works for you keep trying it but typically hitting with arms sends it over the top so you hit the heel. Stay focused on turning your arms off and powering the swing with the legs and hips.
I now realised I have tension free arms and hands. but no so much in the wrists.
Good start but you need loose wrists: czcams.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/video.html
That loose swing lesson looks similar to Fred Couples swing.
Yes, he would have an effortless swing. So he is a good model.
I’ve been working on this effortless swing, referring to your ignition golf sit for details. It has been really hard to make the change. So hard to just “let it go”! But it is beginning to happen, I think. I’ve used the loosening drill where I let the club shaft touch the back of my neck, then swing. The club kinda flys out on its own coming around to hit the ball, resulting in a reasonably decent shot. That is giving me the feeling of letting go. I’m starting to feel that My arms fly out of control, my wrists snap through on their own, but somehow the ball goes in the right direction.
Any way for me to send you a video of my new effortless swing to get feedback? That would be so helpful
Thanks Paul
You are starting to get it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain in trying it. The best way to do this is go out late a night by yourself. 3 extra balls in your pocket. Sit there and go super loose and keep doing it with the balls you have. This way no one is watching you. You are not keeping score. You are just trying to do it when you play.
We no longer do swing analysis as they take us way too long. Instead I created an app called CoachLink that allows us to work with you through video on your phone. We actually work with you live at home, at the range or when you play. Once I can see you I or my assistant can check your positions and/or give you a few things to work on. These are short sessions which is all anyone needs to know they are working on the right thing. Find out more here: bodyswing.com/coachlink
@@paulwilsongolf just a quick question --- what are the "office hours" you like for doing the coachlink stuff?
@@paulwilsongolf Ok will do as you suggest. Thanks so much
He has some really good tips. I wish he would get to the point. He turns a 5-7 minutes video into the 13-15 minute video every time.
So stop the video when you think you've got it. I do remember to say other things near the end of the video you know. In today's world people are distracted, they don't listed etc. etc. I say it. I say it again. Then I repeat what I have said. Ask any teacher and that is the way to teach. I guarantee if you watch a tip and asked you to repeat what I said you wouldn't be able to even though I said it 3 times.
Undoubtedly this works - great tips but why do we go back to hitting hard ? Why am I so stupid.
It's not your fault. It's human nature to hit the object sitting in front of you. This explains it: czcams.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/video.html
I've taken lessons I've never had anyone. Anyone to explain it this clearly?
Not sure if you meant to ask a question here or not. Did you not understand the tip?
Incredibly simple ideas as compared to any of the other pros I've seen. No instruction is worth anything that is too complicated to understand or too difficult to perform. Only the best teachers can teach anybody. You could teach anybody that wants to listen and do what you say.
Exactly. Why confused people who basically play and practice once a week. Never going to happen. If it's simple people will understand it, remember it, try it and if they try it for about a bucket of balls they will probably keep doing it. Glad you found me and see the simplicity of it. Yes, anyone can learn this if they just try it as I suggest.
Bryson has left the chat.
Yep. He is going to be great for business. Everyone will start hitting it even harder with their arms. It will be such a disaster that eventually they will come calling. Can't wait.
i did this other day i growled said im going to drive this green it went 50 yards shorter an 50 yards to the right in the other fairway i said stop ball its going in woods on otherside of the 1st whole i was on the 3rd whole screaming fourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr at the guys in middle of fairway on 1st whole hahahahahhaaha
Exactly. Hope you learned your lesson.
