Effortless Power: How To Increase Your Golf Swing Speed

[@Nick-kq2sw]

Great thing about golf is that even though this video is 11 years old, still as relevant today as back then. I can't wait to go out and try this today. I love Paul's videos - great instruction! Thanks for the tips, Paul.

[@barryhonan7366]

Paul, I am 70 years old and play off 12. A few of years ago when you were the first and I think only instructor on Revolution Golf, I followed your tips and all was going quite well. Since then I have had thouands of tips from too many different RG instructors and my mind has become totally clogged with different thoughts each time I try to swing tyhe club. For some reason I came across your instructional videos again and have now twice played using the original effortless swing you have always promoted and which I had forgotten all about. The results were amazing. My golf is back. I am hitting the ball further and straighter and my enjoyment of the game has returned. I cannot thank you enough. Everything once again makes sense! Barry Honan (Australia)

[@40redfox40]

Okay..I watched your videos all week, went to the range two days and today I played a round. My handicap is 23 and today I hit in the 80s for the first time ever! I hit 87! My biggest change was the easy swing..relaxed swing from start to finish. Every one of my drives was on the fairway and I only chunked one swing off the fairway. 87! Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. Huge improvement. You are saying the right things so please keep at it.

[@scottsweeney4835]

Amazing stuff. I am an 12 handicap. Started practicing this technique and I went out and bought a swing speed radar. I had a 95 mph swing and that was when I was trying my hardest to bash it with my old normal swing. I have it over 103mph now and still trying to get my hips to turn harder and faster. First round I played I shot an 85, which was about average. Second time out after practicing this technique for days and days, I shot a 77. Everything was straighter and longer. I had some miss hits to be sure, but seriously man. This works. Thanks!

[@MrBrokentowels]

This guy knows how to teach amateurs. So many teachers are trying to teach us how to swing like a pro but we don't have the skill, flexibility, hand-eye or time to practice. This guy crushes the teaching game.

[@JackKennedyGolf]

I think for everyone as well the simpler the better as Tiger said his dad always taught him by the acronym KISS keep it stupid simple

[@rdlez]

Hey guys, I was fortunate to be at Bears Best golf club on April 7 , 21018 and noticed Paul talking with one of his students, when Paul waved me over to him. After introductions, I told him I was from Tampa and a fan and took a chance on seeing him there that day. Whereby Paul began to give me a 30 minute one on one lesson and I was beside myself. I watched him hit some shots with his driver 300 + yards while I was on a knee right behind his ball as he hit the shot. Wow, it was something to see up close; It seemed he was swinging in slow motion, but the ball really jumped off the face of his driver. Ya can't see or hear that while watching him on KZbin TV. Paul, thank you for being so generous with your time and thank you very much for that freebie. Best regards, Richard Lee

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you got back safe. It was a true pleasure meeting you and helping you with your swing.

[@stantruskieph.d.6099]

I have been playing golf for over 35 years. I have seen and heard it all....Golf Channel Academy, Golf Digest, etc. I heard some where along the way about lower body, coil/uncoil, etc., and I said, yeah, OK and stored it way in the back of my mind, thinking there must be something else and chased many tips along the way. None really helped, but only made me more confused and more inconsistent. Then I recently saw Paul on a number of his videos stressing the importance of the lower body, and demonstrating how it actually works. It was transformational! I now know how to actually swing a golf club. Thank you Paul! You are the best, the real deal -- much better at instructing then anyone out there. It is now going on seven days since incorporating your tips and the results in my game have been remarkable! Thanks again, Paul. Stan Truskie, Ph.D.

[@brianwilber3961]

I have your Swing Machine Golf video series, Paul. My average score went from 100+ to mid eighties. I no longer slice, and in fact now have the ability to shape shots any direction I want. I don't have extreme distance, but I have a better scorecard than most of the people I play with because of you. Thank you, you kept me from walking away from this game. To anyone watching this video and wondering if it really works, I implore you to just try it. When you get the hang of it, and that shot splits the fairway, I guarantee, you're hooked.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Love hearing.

[@Yankeered14]

I have been playing for almost a year now and started out shooting on average about 100 -105. Short game and putting was always good but my drive was HORRIFIC. I would slice 16 drives out of bounds consistently. I put your tip into place, loose wrists, easy swing and let the club do all the work. It has improved my score by an average of 10-12 strokes. The last 4 times I shot 86, 91, 89, and 92. Your tip has completely turned my game around. 80% of my drives are straight. Thanks Paul!

[@marthabrusegar1953]

Paul, this instruction has dramatically improved my drive distance! Thanks for such clear and concise instructions. I am a 78 year-old woman who still loves to golf and you have sure increased my golf satisfaction level! Thank you so much. Martha

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great to hear. It's really about moving the body and loose wrists. Most people have zero body. So any is going to get you more power. Then you build on it and fire harder I totally the future. Keep at it.

[@marthabrusegar1953]

@@paulwilsongolf now I’m working on freeing up my arms…my swing thought is “spaghetti arms” and it really helps! Thanks so much for helping me to better understand the mechanics of the swing so I can apply your principles to my swing. I’m a perfect example of you’re never too old to learn!

[@soldier959]

Hi Paul, I was on a journey of simplifying my golf swing and keeping it effortless. I am in my middle 40s and think about playing golf without injury till my late 70s. I was very apprehensive initially, as there are umpteen videos on KZbin that so little to actually improve the game . However, the loose arms and wrist tip, which form your core, teaching principles have change my game immensely I have been high single digit golfer for many many years and your instructions have shaved eight strokes of my game over the last 10 days alone! I wanted to comment especially and thank you and express my gratitude. Wish I had found you 20 years ago!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow! So glad you found me. So many people are tight yet few are stressing you need to be super loose with the wrists. This is a huge key. Please stay focused into the future. Hitting hard is never going to work. Stay loose!

[@manfredkuchler1118]

Hey Paul Watched again some of your lessons. Just this morning before golf. Nearly played my best 9 holes. Many greetings from good old Germany Manfred 70 years ⛳😊

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well done. I love hearing it.

[@eddielau7062]

Seriously, this video is 11+ years old and still so effective in teaching in 2024. Thanks for the tips Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

This is a good one for sure.

[@jameskerley1749]

Great approach to the golf swing. I am a former college golf coach and PGA member. I am teaching your method with much success now. Keep up the good work.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for watching

[@davetutelman]

Great video, Paul. Your original Effortless Golf Swing has been one of my favorites, and this followup is very worthwhile. BTW, your student increased his clubhead speed by a consistent 4mph right off the bat. That is NOT just a little change. It's worth about 12 yards of distance, which is definitely not to be sneezed at.

[@davidmain7838]

Paul, I watched your video twice and then went out and worked on your tips on the range. I found the ball jumping off my club face. Took it to the course I saw an increase in distance while swinging easier and within balance. A good friend of mine also watched your video and I have noticed the ball coming off his club face with increased distance. Thanks. One of the best video tips I have ever watched. Thanks again. David

[@jasonlima9264]

Wow thanks alot paul. I been playing for less than a year and could hardly.drive past 200yrds and was not consistint at all. I applied loose wrists upper body tourqe and hip.movement to my swing and I gained 50yrds easily. Im more consistent then ive ever been . Best video on youtube for increaseing clubhead speed without a doubt...

[@joru100]

2 years of golf lessons as a teen never helped my drive. Watched this video and my drives literally went from about 250 to 280-290 overnight. Thank you so much.

[@SkaterRingo]

I feel like I struck gold with these lessons, all of them. I've been taking this one to the range for the last couple weeks and it helped immediately. In fact, each different Paul Wilson lesson I've tried out at the range has had very noticeable good effect. Articulated in a way that makes it easy to work and improve on.

[@grubsteaks]

I feel the same way. Searching for this for decades.

[@richardlong85]

I discovered this at the range one day during a warmup session, unlocked new distances with my mid irons. Noodle arms and wrists are the way to go!

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. I keep telling everyone this is the way to get serious power with minimal effort. Hope they are hearing me.

[@Winner7776]

Mr. Wilson - I've left you and walked around the block and come back home - you are still and always will be the best golf instructor in the world!

[@michaeldoherty2289]

Hi Pau, I started watching your lessons at Rev. Golf nearly 2 years ago. Since then I have watch many, many instuctors. I have found your teacing incredbly insightful and am watching your videos over and over and again. Your teaching is really great.....I think perhaps the best availble. The more I learn, the more appreciation I have for you work. Thanks very much. Michael Dohery, Spokane, WA

[@mildredstay8051]

Thanks Paul I have been working on your lessons and have been doing much better. I am 70 years old and your tips are better than any others I have tried over the years. I wish I had met you years ago.

[@martinjaslow3373]

Hi Paul, I'm 75 and had my speed swing analyzed today and it was 55 mph. I am an 18 handicap. Used to be able to hit a 7 iron 145 yards. I've had both knees replaced last year and have just started to play golf again. Watched your video on KZbin as to how to increase swing speed as was impressed with your tips about keeping the wrists loose and to fire the hips. Plan to try these tips tomorrow and hopefully will find some success in increasing my swing speed. Thanks.

[@anthonytomasiello7628]

OMG you're a life savior. I've struggled for awhile trying to figure why I'm swinging out of my shoes but just burying the club in the ground most of the time. I took a lesson and he said the same thing you've demonstrated about loosening the wrists. I hit a bucket keeping them loose and added my my rotation to it. I'm back to hitting a mile and all I hear from my friends is how smooth I look. Thanks for the visual I needed that.

[@salsabil2]

Just finished my second round of golf today and it works...loose wrists coupled with the hips moving towards the target and i have hit the ball further and more sweetly than i have in years..many many thanks paul..you are a genius my friend.

[@ArtJorgensen]

I'm a month away from my 79th birthday. I'll never be a great golfer but I love trying to improve and am constantly working on my game, particularly over the last 10 years or so. I've had many tips over the years that have helped me to get "just a little better". But I don't think I've ever had a tip as good as this one from Paul Wilson Golf. Just before I go to play golf again (I'll go over 200 rounds this year), I'll be watching this video to get my mind set in the right spot. Thanks for such clear instruction.

[@dthompsonplumbing]

I’m an ok golfer off 8 and Paul’s instructions are an absolute gift as I struggle with tension and swing speed.Now I have easy pre shot warm up and a basic thought process.Won the comp last week👍🏽

[@paulwilsongolf]

WOW!! Great stuff, I love hearing stories like this. Please keep up the good work and keep me informed of your progress. Golfers can get better with just a little bit of work and understanding things a little differently.

[@mphan3968]

Paul, I am never tired of watching your video over and over again. The best golf teaching technique I have experienced so far. I would love to seek you for a n hour or two for P2P teaching when I am in Las Vegas. Thank you for sharing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Just let me know when you visit Las Vegas. Thanks for watching!!

[@rockyrai7314]

Paul Thanks a Lot. You r a genius. I followed ur few tips and i don't see any slice but draw in my shots. I also increased 30-40 yards in distance as well.Thanks a lot again.Good work. God bless you.

[@lesblair1775]

Out of all the swing thought, tricks, practice tips that I've seen-this one looks amazing! I'll definitely give this one a go!

[@30stMts03]

I think your whole presentation in all your little videos is fanastic. I have, in the past, with my irons al least, been able to swing with that effortless power and consistency and for some reason have gotten away from it. It is absolutely tremendous to be reminded in such a logical and gentle way of how to properly apply the clubhead to the ball! Thank you so much!

[@michaelotte8196]

I came across your method and it really made sense. A month ago I was a 8 handicap and was being tortured by coming over the top or slicing my drives over half the time. I was always having to use my strengths to make up for my driver. I was hitting my driver about 250 at best and my 3 wood about 220. After using your method for a few weeks, my numbers are 260+ and 230, and rarely over the top or weak cuts. I’m using the method on all of my shots and although I am gaining a few yards per club, I really like that my control has improved. I am so excited to practice and use your method every time out because I feel like I’m improving each time. Note: I am now 61 and used to play college golf back in the day. After over 15 surgeries later (back x2, neck x 3 disks, shoulder x 3 and multiple other joints), I lost or had to recreate my swing. This method makes great sense. Now if can cure my putting stroke .

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great news. Plus, you do my swing you will not be in pain. That's a good thing for the future. Putting is easy. If you can't putt you are thinking of your stroke. Palm to the target like you are throwing a ball. Become target oriented and you will be great. Oh yeah, only practice 30+ footers and 6 feet or less. Never practice 12 footers. Thank me later.

[@andrewshedden]

Hi Paul, This is the first video of yours I have seen and I subscribed before the video was through. I’m in my third year as a golfer, and you explain things in a way that even I can understand. Keep making great content!!

[@formenfamily8654]

I know this is an old video, but I come back to it occasionally. I'm not sure most people realize how remarkable it is when Paul goes from mid-90s on the monitor to 115 with hardly any effort. It's remarkable and fascinates me every time I watch it. Now I'm 6'4" and have always been pretty long off the tee, usually a 300+yd driver or so. It's the one thing in golf that always clicked for me (short game - not so much lol). I remember watching this video a few years ago and briefly trying some of the loose wrist stuff, but didn't really take all of it to heart (dumb, I know). Fast forward: I didn't really play during COVID and suffered a minor back injury. When I got back out there in 2021, my drive was all over the place AND I felt like I was losing distance. So I came back to this video and really started working on a more effortless swing. On the monitor on the range today, I was hitting 120+ consistently with the driver - topping out at 127mph clubhead speed!!! This swing has completely changed my thought process on swinging a golf club. Many thanks!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow! Those are big numbers but at 6'4" it's doable. Wish I was that tall. So you now see (and will never stop working on) being super loose. Loose equals speed. The speed is in the release but this arm unit has to be connected to your body. So use the body to make the release. You get it. Stay focused and you will be blowing it by almost everyone. Cool feeling.

[@mplunky1]

​@@paulwilsongolf I think that your explanation above to this comment is the real crux of a golf swing. This is a great great lesson.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure is. People need to understand and try it. Once they do they will never want to stop swinging loose.

[@johnnygucc1]

This is the BEST Driver advice everrr!

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure!! Thanks for watching!!

[@jorgeguerra6750]

for a 81 years old I believe is the best tip I ever had

[@strummer9837]

Hi Paul just wanted to say after watching this I tried it out at the range and I am hitting the ball better, longer and straighter than I ever have done, with so little effort. Thank you it has really changed my game.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. I love hearing it. Stay focused and keep loosening up and turning faster for even more power (and consistency too).

[@ou8fire2]

Paul, total transformation!! Because of you, loosened my wrists and arms like they are just hanging and only concentrated on my lower body turning as fast as I can. The wrist drill is definitely the key. I'm killing it! 30 yards more on the driver and using one less iron. The amazing part is I'm hitting it really straight! Thank You! And love Bears Best! Great Clubcorp property!

[@malanmalan]

hi paul, watched your video yesterday, went to the range today and hit 100 balls just with iron 8 and legs very close together, relaxed and tried to focus on the effortless swing, and it worked very well. a bit difficult to find the balance in this position, but improved a lot over time. amazing, will keep on doing this, feels great, many thanks, martin

[@duxmax]

I've long admired Amy Yang's effortless-looking swing. Decided to look for some of her tournament footage today, and happened upon this video--what a revelation and makes total sense! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me. All of my tips are to get you doing an effortless swing. Stick with me and I'll get you there.

[@yasminberger1554]

I have justed started playing again after the Winter brake and my drives were useless (hcp 6,4) so I remembered your videoes on effortless golf swing tips and got on track again, thanks :) All golfers should see this! :)

[@grizzly633]

I just wanted to share my story real quick.. I'm a 10 handi cap with 2 terrible knees. my driver distance is always way short due to that. This drill has by far helped me the most distance and even hitting the ball way more straight!!! AWESOME DRILL!!! Thanks a bunch for the help..

[@MrBigolnuts]

I like it Paul, there are many many golf 'instructors' out there, and most of them do more to actually complicate the movement and put people off. You kept it nice and simple with instant results, now that's an instructor!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. I just want everyone to understand it. If you don't get it why are you going to do it.

[@therayagenda]

I have been working on implementing this lesson for about a month now. This is one of the most important lessons for a golfer to learn. Thanks for the video!

[@b.a.c4739]

Paul is so easy to watch, learn and retain what he is saying do. I'm heading to Vegas for a lesson asap

[@rolandarndt3905]

Great tip, also to my 11y son. His now hitting his 7 iron 160yards! I just love the idea to swing slow and hit the ball with a bang, and it really works too.

[@FA-uf7vr]

Very much like this effortless swing idea. Playing with a local pro here yesterday. By applying this I managed to play one of the best round of my life so far. A final score of 75 which surely surprised myself and my flite mates.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Fantastic! Why swing hard. Just doesn't make sense.

[@TheRysumm]

I went from 70-80 mph to 90-100 with these tips. I bought the swing radar to measure as well. One things that pushed my speed from 90 to closer to 100 was a wider stance and a long one piece takeaway. I let my arms hang there let the upper body carry them in the back swing and lower body move them forward in the down swing. I also keep my grip pressure at about a 2 out of 10. Still hoping to get to about 115ph. I need faster hip rotation now. I'd also recommend really stretching your body out before you start swinging it will really help loosen thing up and remove tension.

[@mplunky1]

Ryan, I love that comment "I let the upper body carry my arms in the backswing & my lower body carry them in the downswing"....that is really great simple swing thought to use when practicing or pre-shot routine whilst playing. Thanks for posting that.

[@2121toso]

I have been watching your videos on swinging looser and getting the hip and body turn into the swing. I am 51Years old and have been a consistent 9 handicap for years. When I swing hard, I lose my consistency. After watching your videos, I bought a swing radar and started working on swinging looser. My swing speed started around 90 but now is hitting 100 mph and I am driving it 10-15 yard further. My scores have improved because I am also hitting my irons further as well. Thanks!

[@opa2125]

I've been having problems hitting my irons lately. After watching the "Effortless Power" videos I started doing a couple of slow swing at 2/3 speed before each shot then kept my backswing and arms just as loose and sped up my lower body on the actual swing. I was consistently hitting some of my best shots ever. I then tried the same on my driver with equally great results. Hopefully, this will continue for the next few rounds. I'll post an update after 5 rounds to let you know how it went.

[@GMAYER-ir3fe]

Hi M. Wilson, big thanks from Réunion Island! Your advices gave me 30 yards more on driving in a very easy and smooth way! Thanks again

[@Hittingitsolid]

Great video Paul, this is perfect for all golfers but can really benefit the senior golfers as well who think they may not be able to keep up with the younger golfers. Cheers

[@bobsofia68]

So glad I found this video. Last season my 1 swing thought with driver was 'swing fast, not hard'. Worked well some of the time, but hadn't thought of a drill for it. I'll be using that choke up drill for loose wrists, thanks!!

[@e003579]

I actually tried this, I relaxed my arms totally and let my hips drive the entire swing and i drove the ball farther than I ever have before on my home course. The only thought I had was "balanced rotation towards the target, arms relaxed". This works. I always ballon my driver, but this time, I got a low boring flight that went at least 240-250. Normally I get 190-200 trying to 'hit it hard'. I just gave that up to try this. Thanks Paul. I will continue with relaxed arms. Everyone try it!!

[@ejoe350]

Very clear and precise instruction. Most golfers swing mainly with their arms. Any average golfer who want to add more yardage should watch this video. Thanks for the tip !!!

[@finnmcgill3958]

This was a great video . I’m 16 and from Scotland so much run on the fairways but it has helped me increase the carry on the ball and I’m now able to use power that I didn’t have when I was younger👍

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it helped! Just keep firing the lower harder and harder. This is the power source. If you hit pushes and push fade just roll the wrists a few times and hit a few hooks. Then add body again. Then you can fire as hard as you can and hit it dead straight. All the best.

[@josephvoll3842]

That was impressive! In just a few minutes, the Student had an increase in clubhead speed of about 5 mph! It was obvious that the Student wasn't quite comfortable applying the 2 techniques, which is Awesome because that means he's not close to his potential and if I were a betting man, I bet if he works on this, and gets comfortable implementing the changes, he'll easily reach 100 mph! It's dark outside now, but I can't wait to go out and apply this to my swing in the morning! I know my wrists aren't loose. I only swing about 93-95 mph. I hope I can finally get to 100 mph by implementing these tips! Great Video!

[@marksaysay]

Great tips. It made great sense to me coming from a baseball background and always saying, "Tight is slow. Loose is quick."

[@PkGam]

Gonna' have to give this a shot! 6 hours later edit: Something about this.... does seem to have worked! Like, I was definitely able to get a more powerful-sounding "whoosh" and it gave me a greater understanding of what gets the club whipping through quicker. Thanks!

[@blakestephens3283]

So true Paul. I had no idea how much my wrist were locked. Now I feel the freedom of relaxed wrist hinge. This is all new, but I can't wait to practice.

[@paulwilsongolf]

So may people are so tight. Got to be loose.

[@bondjames5514]

i enjoyed this video. my 3rd trip to the driving range. i was swinging so easy i felt like the ball wasnt going to go anywhere. but i was getting more distance then the big guy 5 stalls over trying to pound them out there. lol loved it.

[@daveclawson8136]

Paul, love the way you teach. Lessons are simple, focused and give me a clear idea of what I should be working on. THank you!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

[@golflivesmatter5864]

There's no other way to increase speed without the hips creating a whip action. The key to speed is making sure the hips move first instead of the upper body following the hips. It's a disconnected feeling at first, almost an out of control feel because most of us are upper body dominate. It was clear that the fellow in the video had much better hip snap during the drill, but upon hitting his upper body wanted to travel with his lower body which slowed down his swing. Like his brain said "Ok be careful, we're hitting a ball". I have found good results by playing with minimal focus on score, but instead, grading each swing on a scale from 1 to 10 tension level, 10 being the most tension, with a goal of under 5 per shot. I do the same for putting, chips, etc. It's not something that works overnight because the swing will feel slower with a "snap". Start with 60* wedges with 3/4 swings. Great work Paul, this is probably the 90th time I've watched this video! .

[@joonshin4255]

I went out on the course this weekend and tried this method. I kept my grip pressure and my wrists loose while swinging at 75-80% and activating my hips. I was hitting the ball further and straighter than ever before! This method kept my address position so relaxed that I was able to set up for cuts and draws and I executed them. eager to go out and duplicate this method again

[@spraggo0007]

Thanks again Paul will be out pacticing all week ,, My eyes are starting to open ,,,,shame im 60 next week and can't wind the clock back 20years to when i started playing golf ,,,,,,can see my best years of golf could be on their way ,, 22 handicap now ,,will keep you posted on progress cheers

[@BUNK517]

So pleased I found this video. What a difference maker!!! 🏌🏾‍♂️⛳️

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful! Keep at it.

[@David-pj2ro]

Thank You so much for your expertise. My left shoulder has been bad for years now. My swing before I started watching your video instruction really hurt and I almost could not play anymore. Now after watching your videos I'm now able to be loose and letting the club do the work and it is so much easier to play golf now! your a great instructor. I have paid for lessons before and not got a fraction out of it compared to your great instruction! I really enjoy the game much more thanks to you!

[@paulwilsongolf]

If you are in pain playing golf you are doing it wrong. Glad you can swing now. Makes it a lot more fun. Keep at it.

[@bigmaxy07]

It's true this is good advice Paul. I hadn't seen this video but was doing this exact drill at the range today. Certainly feels better and flies further when you loosen up and take the arms out of the swing and really drive hard with the lower body. The trick is to then recalibrate your timing or you block it to the right!

[@jimbergen8449]

I tried it today and I did alot better than with my old swing. Getting the hip & knee through is the key for longer and straighter shots. Thanks.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Excellent! Just a different power source.

[@jamesperez4387]

This was the single most important lesson on grip and rotation of body I have ever seen! Thank you very much!

[@sahazadshad]

For the first time i found someone speaking with logic. Thank you

[@barcelonaclinic4670]

I bought your course over one year ago and included the wrist action in my game. I say, that I easily go almost 30 yards longer just because of that small variance in my swing. Thank you

[@jeffguzzetta4228]

Great drill. Great lesson!!! I wish it wasn’t 9:00pm or I’d be on the range applying your technique!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@coltssniper]

I am a 15.4 handicap and a disabled veteran with an extremely horrible back pain...I will be trying this swing method this evening! Hopefully in 30 days I’ll see results like this gentleman did

[@paulwilsongolf]

Let me know how it works for you.

[@JohnWoods-t1b]

I am an 11 handicap and really enjoy your teaching methods. I have been working on this all winter and have had an oportunity to use a trackman simulator. I have see a large increase in the ball hooking from the center of the fairway up to 30 yards left. my friends are telling me I am accelorating my hips to fast but, that is what you teach for increasing club head speed...so confused!! Jack

[@Goldies24]

Thanks, Paul - these two techniques helped me out. I was known for my death grip. When I made contact it went further - today I was putting for birdie a few times (& made one). The only gotcha is it's harder for me to control the contact when I'm more active with clearing my hips/legs - I topped my hybrid a few times. There may be another missing element or I need more practice with that. I'm a big guy.

Just started playing golf again after a long time away from it, got fitted for new ping clubs as my old clubs were a bit outdated I was hitting the ball ok down the fairway quit straight but found that I had lost a lot of distance seemed to hit all my irons roughly the same distance so went on internet to see if there was anything that I could do to increase my hitting seen this video and thought I would try it nothing to lose couldn’t be leave how long I was hitting my drives and irons I didn’t think I would get back to single figures again but am quite confident I’m 62 and hitting the ball nearly as long as I used too ! Thanks for a great video.

Can't wait to try this method out. I spend $250 on a lesson to increase my distance w/my driver and the guy only thought me how to properly grip and swing a club. After the session he said for $150 more we can touch the driver. What a waste! Thanks to this Effortless Power video, I might just increase my swing speed and increase yardage with my driver.

[@derekgbraun]

This loose feeling really helps me get into the slot more. Im not only hitting it a little further but the best thing is im more accurate... Im getting closer to my 300 yrd goal :). Took me about 4 days on the range to really get the hang of it. Thanks paul. Derek - 3 hc

[@shofey]

Good advice, will definitely try it. Need more distance since I'm older.

[@Lschraeder]

Serious thanks Paul on providing a ray of hope for my golf goal, to shoot my age. With age 69 approaching I feel like it is very attainable after watching this video.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Anyone can do it.

[@loudog1964]

Great video lesson. I can't wait to try this. I hit a plateau with my swing and can't seem to get over it. After watching this video, I realize I've been keeping my arms and wrists fairly straight in an effort to square my club head. My shots go pretty straight, but not as far as I like. This lesson and drills will help. Thanks!

[@ajsimon9551]

This is the best training video advice I have gotten in 15 years! Watching this video and trying these basic techniques has helped me increase my swing speed from 92-94 to now averaging between 108-111. I've only practiced at the range once a week of the past 2 months... And I'm amazed how quickly my game has changed :) Crazy thing is I don't feel like I am trying nearly as hard as I used to to generate club head speed. Loose grip, loose wrists, body torque and starting my down swing with my lower body make playing golf fun again. Question: I can't seem to generate the same club head speed with irons, is that normal?

[@jackashton5621]

I have been playing for a long time and have a 9 handicap.. Tried your tips of the loose wrists and immediate positive results.. back to hitting drives 240 + the first three days.. up about 15 yards and I can see the more I use that in my lions too the easier it gets... Long and straight too.. Thanks

[@westman8064]

Playing game 25 years ...poorly!Tried your method on range ....Total Transformation !!! Cheers Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great job. I love hearing it. Thanks.

[@henkhamers1184]

Wooow thanks man havent played for seven years and lost 10 yards with your tip not only regained but added 15 yards (so 25 in total) after one week of practising

[@paulwilsongolf]

Nice work! Try to watch my other tips. Tons of content on here now.

[@ChefVegan]

My uncle showed me your channel and it has been most helpful so far, thanks Paul :)

[@somanydimpeople]

PAUL, GREAT TIPS ON USING YOURE LEGS WITH THE CLUB IN THE AIR. ALSO THE LOOSE WRIST EXERCISES ALL MAKE SENSE. THANKS PHIL.

[@thomasfraser9072]

Excellent video. To add to this I see the action of the sequence of the proper rotating one hip as the 'propellant' that allows one to thrust the club forward through the ball. Much the same way as a shadow boxer might use his right hip, knee and foot to propel a knockout right hook to his imaginary opponent left chin. I shadow box a few seconds before a round of golf to looses up, which allows my lower body to connect to my upper body as I propel my swing forward. With a square set up, elbows feeling as if they are pointing to my perspective hips. and using the lower body as you describe to propel my swing forward , all I see is a blur of my club as it swings through the ball. These are swing throughs I am proud of. Approaching 70 ( in age; not, quite score yet) I am happier then I have ever been in my 40 years of struggling with golf. Many teachers are telling people to squat on the downswing. Problem is that if you are thinking of squatting during a swing you squatted to much. Thank you for reading.

[@TheLezwoymn]

Thank you. I will try this when I go to the range. I just learned the mistake I was making in my golf grip. After that, my distance increased. I saved the video link and hope it helps. Much thanks.

[@Ouscazz]

I watched this video last night and I thought this might be the solution for me. I headed for the driving range this morning to see if I could make it work. All years of playing golf I have struggled with a fade/slice with my driver and metalwoods. I got 28 balls out of the machine, warmed up with hitting 5 balls with my 9 iron, then went on to my trusty old Titleist 20,5 metalwood. Loosened up my wrists with a couple of waggles, then hit the ball and it went away with a pulled draw. Next ball I put some more hips into the swing and got a better swing plane, the ball went down the driving range. Dead straight! Hit 4 more balls with the 20,5, two straight and two draws. Pulled my driver out of the bag and carried on the same way as with the metalwood. Hit about 20 balls and at least half of them went away with a 3-4 yard draw. I've never before hit a draw with my driver other than on ocation. I also got very consistent ball contact on the clubface after this drill. This is by far the best and simplest golf instruction video I've ever seen and it made a huge impact on my swing, ball strike and flight path. Thank you very much from Sweden Paul, it really works!

[@Edgecrusher28]

I would have to strongly concur with this idea. Take it from someone who has seriously struggled with distance. I purchased a swing speed monitor just like the one used in the video and was only able to achieve speeds around 88 to 92 mph initially. Its been several months now of practice focusing on two things and one being loose, and I am no able to consistently swing above 115mph and maxing out at 124 and still hitting the ball solidly!!

[@joelpolanco731]

Excellent video Paul. I really enjoyed watching your student apply your tips and getting immediate results. Thank you for these useful tips!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful! Immediate results tells you that you are on your way. Just keep working on it and you will dramatically change your game.

[@alfredosealy3710]

Thanks Paul its crazy that I have been loosing distance but more accurate. You are so right I was playing to stiff. I went from 260 to 275 at least; Thanks bud

[@haricsl]

Awesome tip- figured this out myself today and wanted to see if any golf instructors were explicitly teaching loose wrists - great vid

[@chrisbernierva]

I would love to have a swing as confident and comfortable as Pat's! I am just getting started and have been watching a lot of videos and Paul, your series is the best on youtube. I've learned so much. You answer most of the questions I've had and your instruction makes so much sense. My boss took a look at a video of my swing and he said it was a good looking swing. I have much work to do though. None of it feels natural to me

[@mordechailevinson8646]

...This actually helped me...the many other golf videos are a waste of time...Thanks for your fine work...

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@Largeagegaplove]

Great information...I'm going to start working on it!

[@ElVerdeVida]

Wow definitely one of the top 10 TIPS ever !!! Thank you !

[@paulwilsongolf]

I did this one quite a while ago. People seemed to really like it. Glad you did too. Thanks,
