Logical tips to understand the swing ,thank you Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like them. Thanks.

[@pjpcadet]

It sounds so logical! Easier, faster, more consistent… congrats !!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Simple is the key. Anyone can do this. The ball is the problem. People want to hit with the arms so they move the club before the body. Just loosen the wrists and start the body first.

[@BiLatKnee]

6:15, is profound for me to remember..."when I turn my body it compresses the angle...(if I have loose wrists)". Thx Paul!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. I am saying what needs to happen in all of my tips. It is just up to people to hear what I am saying.

[@danlong6162]

I love the little kid reference! That was great!

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. Everyone marvels a little kids as they swing. They keep sending me videos of their grand kids with the title "young Tiger." To me, these are great swings but any kid can do that almost instantly. The problem is they marvel at kids and don't copy them. So try to be a weak as kid in the arms and as strong as an adult in the legs and hips.

Thank You! Loose Wrists Creates Lag! My new mantra.....

[@tysongarrett8688]

I use the swingrite trainer q day to focus on that release feeling and trying to have it happen....just swinging it wont make it happen...you have to loosen it up feel oily at the wrist...and it will click indicating a release....this video reminds me that when i am swinging in the air for my pre-shot routine that you are not having the thought of releasing the club....all you are doing is turning your body and the mass of the club is automatically releasing due to the physics of a mass rotating around an axis....there is no active thought of releasing the club.....???....when you are swinging in the air...is there any swing thought you have to focus on ?or trigger..or your target?...or is there just emptiness?...because youve done millions of them?

[@darthbog2125]

great explanation

[@robertbmartin]

These videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you. I’m having difficulty keeping my arms connected to my body as my arms lag way behind my body. Is there a drill to keep my arms connected to my body?

[@robertbmartin]

Thank you!

[@Jolie_sailor]

Been trying to get this lag thing forever. This is a great explanation. 1 question: What actually drops the club on the down swing? Do you pull it down as you rotate OR do you let gravity pull it down as you rotate? Great stuff as always.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Your body drops the club. This is simple physics of mass swinging around and axis. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDKqplsis97bbc You keep hitting which will send it over the top. You are not pulling anything down. This is you moving the mass (club) before the axis (body) which will never work. You hit the top. You are thinking about firing your lower body. Your arms are turned off. If you turn your body your arms will follow. If so, the club moves towards 90 to your body every time. So coil and hinge to the top. Completely turn your arms off. Use your body to hit the ball.

My small golf channel spends all its money on green fees and not golf lessons. These videos help alot. We completed over 109 golf course vlog and moving. Have you ever analyzed other golfers swing from there videos and provide 5 min feedback? I'm a small budget channel

[@paulwilsongolf]

Your channel looks great. Keep at it. You should tie in with some of the discount tee time companies. As for me, I just don't have time to analyze swings. As you see it takes time and effort just to do your channel. Now imagine teaching and everything else I do on top of that.

[@parfessor]

@@paulwilsongolf Thank you for commenting and yes that makes sense. Hey - its great just getting a comment back! Great feedback. I respect the game and your time. And hope I didn't come across too overwhelming. Thanks Paul and man those courses you play look nice. Cheers.

[@johnbak9395]

Agree, I have difficulty at impact with club face control, timing, loose grip, thus not hitting the ball flush on the clubface. Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

[@paulwilsongolf]

First you need to hold onto the club. It is secure grip ... loose wrists. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3mmdoOrbsqSZ80 Once you can do that you work on the swing in 2 parts. Watch me fix a student first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2a1oJ2KrZqmfqs To get it, you work on your hinge first. You hinge and roll it over rehinging it on the other side. You get every ball hooking. This way you know where the ball is going before you hit it. Don't be link everyone else and dwell on the negative. See the positive. You are doing half right. You are consistently releasing the club (although it's too early). Wrists = Spin (Step 1) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Once you can do that you memorize that feeling. Then move to step 2 which is adding your body. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIebpoaQZpt1r9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mpqYaQiNJ-e9k (secret tip) It is literally that simple.

[@johnbak9395]

Paul, Thank you. The only question is using these steps especially the snapping of my wrists will the wrists be bowed at impact or should I just swing and not worry if wrists are bowed or not. I would then look at ball flight, and the feeling at impact as to whether the contact was flush. I have a tendency to overthinking leading to paralysis by analysis. Really do appreciate all your help. Sincerely, John Bak

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yep, make it simple. I am not thinking of wrist position at impact. You only have a few degrees room for error. A tick on a clock is 6 degrees. With driver 1 degree open at 250 is 14 yards offline. Irons would be more room for error but it's not much. So people trying to manipulate the face will get on a roll for a few shots then the next one goes sideways and they scratch their head wondering why. So let's say it pull hooks so what does the person do? They hold it off now they blow it right. This is exactly what Brooks Koepka did in the masters. Played defensive. Started pulling it. Then he start blowing it right. This is someone trying to manipulate the face. This is why I never think impact. Impact is not the widest point of the arc so why would anyone care about it? Need to allow forces to act on the mass. If so you never manipulate it (powerless arms). Hit the top then allow the weight of the club to swing wherever it wants. This will stretch it out fully which is what I call the release point which is after the ball is hit. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHa6lmx9ltSkrtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4WvgoqAgbd0i5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX65pGmJj7N1f7M If your club hits that point it will be perfect at impact with no twisting.

[@dominiquevanvoorhis5162]

Hi Paul, I've been able to make a lot of progress in my swing with loose wrists. Ball starts right (RH player) and draws back. That said, I'm still only getting 95-97mph driver swing speed. How can I get more speed with this technique?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, that's pretty good speed as most people who come to me can't break 90 mph. Do these 2 drills for 1 month: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8

[@markalumbaugh2756]

Does a coat hanger drill conflict with lag and loose wrist?

[@paulwilsongolf]

No idea what the coat hanger drills is. Send me a video and I will check it.

[@mikerodrick2430]

I don't have trouble creating lag but rather where to release it. Before or after impact?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Unless you are slicing the ball you are not even thinking about releasing it. You are allowing the loose wrists to release it for you. I talk about this in the very tip. Watch these too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHa6lmx9ltSkrtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4WvgoqAgbd0i5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX65pGmJj7N1f7M So you are hinging and rehinging to unlock your wrists. You are then coiling and uncoiling your body. The final step is to turn your arms off. This is important too so you can fix your own swing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE

[@gangu11]

I tried this. But I started slice and fade. Any particular reason ?

[@bloatedsodium7301]

Yes, you could be releasing the club too late. Try gripping down and do this drill. You’ll be making the swing arc shorter and you should be hooking instead of slicing/shanking/fading.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Because you were only working on delaying the club. If you held the delay too long the face would be open. Hold the lad then release it. That is the whole point of getting lag so you can release a better angle. Try this first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaq9iXyvf7N7Y7s Drill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnnMoaKMqqqtf5Y Lag Secret: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYukm2V4oJ2FpcU Drill 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGbpIyYgbqHhbc Drill 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV6cpXyhfJh9psU Drill 3:kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z53NaKiXpJVkgac Release: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CyYXtohrN5pZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpyapWyvfaiCY6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/baDPc6Stjatmf80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvIhaSZr5ejo6c

[@christpherwilson3151]

Paul- how does Jon Rahm create so much lag with such a short backswing?

[@paulwilsongolf]

He fires his body first arms follow. That is what I said in the tip. Keep in mind he had a longer swing at one point. He also learned as a kid. If you have minimal arms strength how are you going to hit a golf ball? You will use your body and arms follow thus you get lag without ever working on it. Once you get it, you will never not get it.

[@tastykeycoffeecup]

Paul would you also do this for driver?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, all clubs.

[@pjpcadet]

I would say it’s a game changer with driver!

[@RockyTremblay]

Thanks Paul. Crack the whip?

[@paulwilsongolf]

I like that thought as people are learning and working on it. Then I want to them stop thinking about the arms and allow it to happen.

[@swardmusic]

I'm back Paul. I'm sorry I left.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you're back. I have had others leave only to come back as well. I am literally handing everyone the answers on a silver platter. It is all right here so there is no point trying to find it elsewhere. I know what else it out there.
