You Can Get to 100 MPH Clubhead Speed

[@RichardPerkins-er8rd]

I just became a body swing customer. After watching many of these videos I recently went to a simulator and decided to concentrate solely on 3 things... the neutral grip, the back swing coil with hinged wrists, and turning the hips quickly at the top of the back swing. The rest I just let happen. I only let my brain think about those three things. All of the shots I hit with driver had a club head speed from 99-104mph. Before that I was 90-92mph. The grip felt awkward. I have to be honest, it never felt comfortable for me. But with it I found the hinging to be much looser and easier than the firm, strong grip I have been using all these years. Most of the shots went dead straight with little or no fade/draw, but a few I hit a straight push. But even most of those misses were better than the misses before this past session. I noticed a huge difference with irons. The good shots were 10-20 yds longer than the usual distance for the shorter irons, and 20-30 yds longer for long irons and woods. Again, I had a few straight pushes with the irons, but even those bad shots were never worse than a bad shot I am used to. I have a lot of work to do... mostly with the hinging... I have always had a very short back swing... And I can feel, now, that the reason is very stiff wrists throughout my golf swing. But, all in all, the improvement I saw with working on just those three components, I had to admit that I must reevaluate my entire swing process if I am going to get any better at this game I love. Thanks Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the support. I truly appreciate it. Wow that's a great increase in clubhead speed. This will make you never want to stop doing what you are doing. Be sure to keep working on precise positions I show in The Body Swing. We don't want this falling apart in the future. Easy way to do this is daily practice swings. Just keep doing what you do. This should take your game to a whole new level this season. Good job.

[@ricku6255]

Paul I just did this in my garage simulator and holy crap it works great. I was hitting the ball (MEVO) maybe 140-160 yrds and after 45 minutes using this system I was averaging 170 yrs and my best being 196 yrds carry. I'm 52 and have a lot of health problems (no pancreas, spleen etc etc) and clubhead speed has been a huge issue. I was doing a little half swing but after loosing my wrist like you taught has me swinging from 60-65 mph to now averaging 81 mph. My best was 91 mph and it felt effortless. Man I can't thank you enough for all of your lessons. Most want money for every little lesson but you do this for free and it means a lot to us club golfers. Thanks man! Rick

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. Great feeling when you start seeing results. Keep up the good work. Big things to come.

[@edwardboers1993]

Im a body swing customer.... never golfed before the age of 35.... I went from being just terrible with no formal training to being able to hit with a driver on average about 102 to 104mph. I even practice with a swing speed radar which you recommended in your earlier videos. I thank you for your tips and explanations. I enjoy golf now very much. My game isn't where I would like it to be, but at least I feel safe to tee off without driving the ball into a parallel fairway. If my personal life allowed me more time to practice I'm sure I would be much more dialed in. I found your body swing program to be beneficial and easy to follow and I enjoy watching your videos

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for your support. I truly appreciate it. 102-104 is fantastic. Like I said if someone can break 90 mph it's a miracle. As for practice just do the practice swings at home daily. Give me 25 a day perfecting a position. You do not have to hit balls. It's all about the movement. If you wait to get to the range you lose the feeling. So grab a 7 iron and have it sitting there so you can see it. At some point every day you need to give me 25 swings. If so, you can easily be in the 70's.

[@mankitwong4165]

I have watched over a 100 golf tips on KZbin and the only one I still remember and use if your 'stay loose' tips. thank you!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it. Glad you remember my tips. Loose is the key. Too many people are way too tight which is really costing them power. Try to do these 2 drills into the future: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8 Do them daily in practice swings. After 30 days you won't believe it.

[@mr.beavis2202]

This makes total sense to me. I was on the driving range and a 13 year old male at 5’ 3” had a carry distance of 215 yards that was as far as mine and I’m a 49 year old male. I watched his swing closely and his wrist action was very oily and loose. His driver had a loft of 9.5 degrees while mine was 12 degrees. This was an eye opening experience and lesson. I will definitely be bringing this technique to work on at the range and implement it on the golf course immediately.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you saw it and understand it. I keep saying this. If they can do it copy what they do. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpiypn6Hpbqfa5Y

[@floydgilreath1875]

I discovered your videos last year and immediately ordered your video series. I am 82 and have been losing distance every year, handicap was 12 then it increased to 16 because I was chipping and trying to one putt on every hole. After adapting the body swing I have started getting back the distance, more important I could play without hurting my body with swinging hard. I feel like discovering the body swing it probably extend my golf life for a few more years. I have turned on my golfing buddies to your web site and they all bought into your teaching, probably a dumb move on my part because of our betting game.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you are getting your distance back and not playing in pain. This is a recipe for lowering your scores/hdcp. Thank you so much for the promo to others. I need all the help I can get. Maybe one day everyone will want to do it. Keep up the good work and know that it's a better payoff helping people have more fun playing. You just need to keep your game one level above theirs. That's your incentive.

[@EdnaMillion.]

I keep coming back to this video and have been working on it for a while. This difficulty has been doing it "under the gun" in a competition when there is a more natural tendency to tense up, even if only slightly. Even more so under pressure if you have a good score going. Yesterday it all came together. Shot my best round ever, 76. Playing off 13 I won the competition by 6. Cut to 11 today. Thanks Paul.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow! Nice round. To get it when playing just tell yourself you're not Tiger Woods. Be yourself. This is what I used to tell myself when I first got it. Keep trying to be someone else and you will swing way too hard cause I guarantee you will be thinking Tiger or Rory not an easy swinger. With a great round like that you need to watch this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2un5mMl82ojtE

[@dougpicciano6470]

I purchased your Body Swing program in 2018. Approaching 70 yrs old , having had back surgery a while back and with achy knees , I had just resigned myself to the fact that you cannot fight Father Time. Not so……your Body Swing program is like the fountain of youth for us senior golfers - it’s allowed me to actually maintain and sometimes INCREASE how far I hit the ball. And what I most appreciate is how you continue to post more videos which serve as like a refresher for your Body Swing program.. I know you post these videos hoping to entice people to possibly purchase your program - and they should - you deserve it as you give so much and you deserve to get something back for all of your dedication and efforts.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it. Glad you are doing well with The Body Swing. Anyone can do this. Just need to do it a little different way. Glad you like the tips. Yes, everything I do is based on the same thing and if I can help people ... great. So many people out there still struggling with the swing. Can't be much fun. I will keep doing what I do and maybe one day they will all be turning their arms off. We probably both won't be here to see it.

[@John-bh1rs]

Loosened my wrist lately and hit a 266.5 yard drive yesterday. Normal drive is 220. Been working on this for about a month now. Definitely wasn't easy to get used to the looseness but I understand now how important it is to be super loose with the wrist. No shortcuts but worth the daily hinging and rehinging drills!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. That is a huge difference. Now you know to NEVER, EVER, EVER tighten up again. Keep at it.

[@tim-4217]

I appreciate the practical common sense well-reasoned approach you share to golf. I have watched quite a few different teacher videos, some good yet most quite frankly conflicting complicated unexplained information. I basically just picked up the game late June with about a 115 average round :-). With your videos I now am always breaking 90 and some times low 80's. It's a challenge to know who to listen to and follow when starting out. I highly recommend your approach, videos and golf advice to all. Thank you Paul, continued success to you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like my teaching. Simple is the key. I have thought this way since lesson 1 back in 1991. That's a huge drop in scores. You are well on your way. Great job!

[@whereami8992]

I been using the body swing for some time, I tell all my friends about it. It really works. People ask me how I hit it so far and make it look effortless. I direct everyone to Paul Wison and the body swing. I'm still learning and practicing, currently averaging between 260 and 280. Working on lag for speed, Thank you Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the support and promo to others. I appreciate it. 260-280 is great. That will turn heads plus doing it effortlessly. Wow. Lag? Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU Need to do it daily for 30 days. Do that and 300 is in site.

Thanks so much. I thought this would resonate with people.

[@joeidaho5938]

Whip is the part that many miss in their swing. I found it easier to understand that way. A good golfer basically told me to relax my hands.....and whip the club through impact....so you hear the swoosh. Made a huge difference when I applied it. Added a good 30 yards to every iron and hybrid.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure it. Only been saying this since 1991. As you see you get way more power with loose wrists. Keep at it.

[@method341]

I tried to do this a few weeks ago because I was so sick of hitting terrible drives. I just coiled & uncoiled with my body with loose wrists (allowing them to hinge and unhinge). I couldn't believe the sound, the ball flight and the distance. It was also crazy how much my arms felt like they were doing NOTHING. My drive carried 50 yards further than my usual ones. I'm a believer!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you tried it and saw results. This is what it's all about. If I can get people to at least try it for more than 3 balls they will see how powerful it is. Just need to keep doing it until you see it (which you did). Now stay focused into the future. It gets exciting and we get greedy. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2un5mMl82ojtE

"Connect the arm unit to the body, which is turning"... pure gold, Paul. Btw, I was having a bad round the other day and, at the turn, started doing your arm loosening drill ("How to Get that Effortless Powerful Swing") and shot ten shots lower on the back nine than on the front!! Loose wrists, baby!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

No doubt. This is key. There are 2 parts to it. Get one then work on the other. Next time, remember my drill/tips before you play. Gold. Pure gold.

[@kevrobbo77]

it is pure gold. i was thinking about this all day, trying to find some tuition on arm movements across the body when swinging. i seen some still images of how pro players are stay/rotate with the body. but it never fully clicked until i watching this video. just let the arms chill get a good rotation and flick those wrists at the right time. seen a few say they were getting 30-50 yards extra on drives. which is amazing and i will be going to the range with my woods/hybrids in the morning to try this.

[@peternissen4822]

OMG! I just tried this...made perfect sense. After 10 years of not fully understanding this, my speed and distance just went way up!!! Perfect explanation. Thanks!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you liked it. Understanding it a half the battle. Keep up the good work.

[@raymondunsworth1587]

Wow that’s amazing 56 with that swing speed. Your channel has helped me so much. I was barely able to get 200 yds before after following tips I have been able to hit 250 plus. Thank you your the best.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Such a great feeling when you start getting distance. Keep up the good work.

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

This is very true. Been golfing for several months, all the while I was gripping my clubs so tight my fingers could've gone blue. The moment I loosened my grip and wrists the swing became immediately easier, smoother, less painful and much more consistent. Very important lesson indeed

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Being all locked up like that was never going to work. Glad you found me and see the difference. You use the legs and hips for power not the arms. Knowing that at this early stage of your learning will literally save you years of frustration.

[@livn59]

Hey Paul. I've applied your principles. I'm very fit 63 but looking forward. It feels loosey goosey at first but today on the driving range I had a posse of seniors enamored with my swing. Thanks for your great videos.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Great feeling when people start to notice. Keep at it.

[@kevinbrown7900]

Another great tip. Been doing the ear to ear drill. Really feeling the club release. I got you by a couple years but this is good stuff. Thanks coach.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. This is such a huge drill. You are starting to feel it so you will see it's effect shortly. It's going to be great when we are 75 still hitting it easily 250 plus while others are hitting it nowhere.

[@barrylee5846]

Excellent! That whip motion with the wrists really compliments club head speed with minor effort.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. The looseness is where the speed comes from but you have to attach this arm unit to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. Loose is key though.

[@noroy2]

Adding to this drill also we can do your ear to ear drill … thanks for all your help !

[@paulwilsongolf]

Ear to ear is huge. Hope you're still doing it or hope you have it mastered. That alone will get you hitting it way longer.

[@sionnachog894]

Thanks Paul, another helpful tip!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

[@ncfoxfire1967j]

Thanks....good tip. I'm 78 and certainly need help with swing speed. Using my "muscle swing" I only drive the ball about 150-160 now. In my younger days that was my distance with 7 iron. Guessing my swing speed now is about 60 mph or so. Would LOVE to get it up much higher!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are exactly who I cater to. I see this all of the time. You are literally using physical strength to hit the ball. As you see you won't hit it very far. You need to loosen the arms and wrists coming down and through. Then you need to turn your body faster to get the power. You see in this video how little effort I can put in an get it to 100mph. I am not straining to do it. I am barely moving. So you need the arm unit to unlock first. You then work on the body. You coil going back and uncoil coming down and through. This creates a whip. So start with these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7ReIBsrrNqb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Make sure you are going all the way back and all the way through: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYm8eJevp6qbpLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2nYeoivh6toaLs Then do this downswing trigger to hit the ball: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIebpoaQZpt1r9U

[@sean4586]

Paul you are the best!" Thank you for this lesson.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you so much. There is so much wasted energy out there. If people can see me do this than it should be clear that anyone can do this and do it for life. Just need to do it with the body not the arms. Glad you see it. Stay focused and do lots of daily practice swings around the house. This is the fastest way to get it.

[@coreyhofmann4675]

Finally a video that talks about the wrist hinge and snap. Too many coaches forget beginner swing movement. Did all these coaches and pros start with relaxed swing???

[@paulwilsongolf]

All of these pros started as kids with minimal arm strength. Minimal strength swinging mom or dad's club and you get the hinging and rehinging automatically. If you started as an adult you had arm strength. Put a stationary object in front of someone and human nature is telling you to hit it and hit it hard. I have been teaching the effects of human nature for years. I did a tip on this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0 Then to get the hinging and rehinging you need to go against human nature again here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4PPiWp4d6uinsU If you don't know this you will never do it. Human nature (and the ball) are a powerful force.

[@paulinemurray2110]

What a great tip. I was concentrating on too many swing thoughts, now I just think of the wrist hinge and the rest of the swing just naturally follows. Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. This is a big part of the swing.

[@blimeylimey13]

I have used your method for a few years. Last week I went to an indoor simulator with some low handicap golfers. I am about an 18 handicap, mostly because I don’t play often. I am 63. I was swinging at 102-108 swing speed. They were impressed and kept asking how I could get that speed. 😂 the 6 handicapper actually asked to record my swing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Now that's funny. You had to be grinning from ear to ear. Those are great numbers. Keep up the good work. Let's get you down to a 6 hdcp. Easily done.

[@cityofwelland634]

I enjoyed this video and was at the indoor range today. We have had snow in the Niagara area in recent days. At my session this morning I had many successful swings and I felt I was hitting the ball extremely well. Using this technique very was helpful and I will continue to use this over the winter. This is giving me something tangible to work on this off season. Thank you

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you are working on it and seeing results. Glad you are going to keep working on it through the winter. This is the best time to be working on your swing so next season you play great golf. This is exactly what I want people to do. Keep at it.

[@Mirko_k_77]

Great! I‘m struggling currently because i‘m using only my arms to generate speed. Result: max. 95mph. With your tips i‘m will continue to break 100. Thanks und greetings from Germany

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you see it. If you are 95 with just arms you can get it well over 100mph without issue. So start loosening and get the fluidity of the release then start adding body rotation as the power source. You've got this. Do these 2 drills daily and in a month you will be killing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8 This is important too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE

[@zero2herogolf]

1:32 - The man himself. The myth, the legend. That swing sequence is excellent. In the downswing, still the best trail arm connected to torso anywhere. The stored energy in that trail arm and wrist, all released at the right time, is second to none. As soon as he starts that downsing, the trail arm drops to the side of his torso, and you never see his arm trail separate from his torso at anytime in the downswing, until just before impact. Most people do just the opposite, they throw the club away from their body at the start of their downswing. Lower body rotation keeps his swing sequence in order. Just pure gold!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Too funny. I have never thought of the trail arm ... ever. You get this by not hitting with the arms. Instead turn them off and use your body as the power source. Yes, most are just whacking away thinking it's going to happen. That day never comes.

[@rocknral]

Just a hacker here, but Google translator didn't work on your comment lol. Could you explain that for the non golf speaking public?

[@mphan3968]

Thank you. I always go back to your clips for correction. I used to look at the ball and make sure I hit the ball hard. It always end up less accurate and inconsistent. After taking your tips by just focusing on from point A to B and the ball just happens to be in the way. It just hits solid. I still need to turn the hip and ensure my body memorizes it. I did master to let the wrist loosen up during my swing. It was awkward at the beginning and now is a norm for me. I can hear the whooping sound by not swing out of my shoes. thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for thinking about the tips. Glad you see A to B. This is huge. Sounds like you get the concept and the loose feeling I want you to have. Great! Keep at it.

[@roblockhart8410]

Wow that total changes the dynamic of my swing. I played a fair bit of golf when I was a teenager and have just started again. I think I have been trying to muscle it. I started taking my top thumb off the club so I can go further on my back swing and create some drag and then trying to muscle it. I’ve got blisters, a pulled muscle in my back and felt like I got hit by a train this morning when I woke up after hitting a few hundred shots yesterday. It’s weird because I can hit my wedges great this way but I have no control on anything lower. I think my issue is an improper hinge.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yep, you are hitting with arms. I have fixed countless people who took a break from golf get their swing back. It's easy because they have used their body in the past. Take the break and you start hitting with the arms (which will never work). I just need to get them to loosen the wrists and use their body again to power the swing. Watch this first to understand why taking a break lost your swing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0 Work on this first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7ReIBsrrNqb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Get the ball hooking and loose the wrists. Once you can do that you then start firing the lower body harder/quicker/faster to straighten it out. Not sure what your downswing trigger is but something in your legs and hips you use to hit the ball. This is the easiest trigger: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 As you do this there is timing between the release and the legs and hips so you need to watch this to learn exactly how hard you need to fire your hips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE This is literally days or a week or two of work maximum to get it back.

[@roblockhart8410]

@@paulwilsongolfThanks Paul. I’ll watch those videos tonight

[@slowdriphobbychannel732]

I recently started playing, over 40, relatively strong in a worker sort of way but not athletic or coordinated, and other than sporadic trips to the range no golf experience to speak of. Driver really intimidated me because I just tended to drive the ball or the club head into the ground despite having what looked like a pretty decent stance and grip. Went to the range today with the key takeaway of "loose" and carried around 190 right out of the gate and by the end of the bucket I was starting to get into the groove and pushing 220. Up to this point a "good" drive for me, really trying to force it, was maybe carrying 170 on lucky 1 in 20 hit. I have a lot of work to do on consistency but now I know I probably have the capability to carry at least 250 with more practice, and I also didn't pull any muscles chunking the club into the ground this time. Total game changer!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you got into golf. It's a game for life so we need a swing for life. Hitting hard is not going to do it. Sure, you might get lucky and hit a few good ones but they will be few and far between plus you run the risk of hurting yourself. So we need to focus on technique. If a young kid can hit it longer than you they are doing it a different way that you (they are not strong). I think you get this concept. I make the positions and movements simple so people actually get the concept and what they need to do. If you want to get this fast do daily practice swings at home. Waiting to go to the range twice a week is not enough. As you do practice swings you learn the moves fast. Then as you keep doing them you will do them with the ball. Try to hit most of the balls as you are working on it with a 7 iron teed up a little to give you room for error. If you hit the ball on the ground you need to be perfect. On a tee and you don't have to be perfect so you can see if your changes are working. See the swing in 2 parts. The arm unit which hinges and rehinges. Then the body which coils and uncoils. The wrists affect spin. The body affects direction. Start with these and keep me posted: For people that have just found me start with these: Body Swing Concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2ncap17rr5ma80 Grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk Hinge Rehinge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvIhaSZr5ejo6c Alignment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHe9lGONppdraM0 Secure Grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3mmdoOrbsqSZ80 Best Drill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYfLpX9jmZZ1b7s Power the swing with the legs and hip not the hands and arms.

Thanks for the video! I appreciate the loose and effortless concepts. What are your thoughts on speed training programs (Rypstick / The Stack etc…)? Does that type of training conflict with your general teaching philosophy, or can they be helpful?

[@shayskilling456]

And to be clear, most speed training programs advise swinging with more intent than would ever be used on the golf course

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, you can't paddy cake it and think you're going to hit it 300. So I like speed training programs for a while to get the speed up and the person understanding how much effort it takes to hit the ball longer. Once you get it you turn the arms off completely and allow the body to power the swing. As you see in this tip I was at 100mph with nothing. This is faster than 99% of people coming to me for lessons. If they break 90mph it's a miracle. The way I did it was to have super loose wrists. Then because I have been firing my lower body for over 40 years I am used to it. So I can do it slower than normal. Couple the two and I get to 100mph with no effort. Most golfers have minimal hip power and lots of arm power. They try to smash every shot as hard as they can. It's feels like a lot of power yet they hit it nowhere. Just need to switch. So go ahead and build up your power then turn your arms back off not manipulating the face in any way with the arms. If so, you will hit it longer and straighter. You could also just do these 2 drills and hit it longer than you ever have in your life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8

[@graceland75]

Paul, at age 65 I’m struggling just get to 80 speed, my question is can this technique be accomplished using the over sized grips? Thank you, I appreciate the feed back. John

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes but you don't want those jumbo grips. The wider the grip the slower the hand action. Jumbo grips are too wide. Midsize are fine. At 80 mph your wrists are way too tight and you are not turning anywhere near what you have to. Here are the 2 drills you need to do daily for 30 days: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8

[@Eric-zk2hu]

I watched your videos years ago and did not get it right and strayed away but recently after a lot of bad play I watched some of them again and have really found some great improvement. For me I've found that thinking of the wrists as a hinge with no muscle when they unhinge and rehinge is the secret. So I think of mostly unhinging with no muscle used while still holding on to the club securely. Its kind of like a drummer can move his wrists and drumsticks faster by just hinging and unhinging them in a swinging motion than if he were trying to use his wrist muscles. The same thing with a guitar player strumming super fast. I've hit the ball farther and straighter using this loose swing with a neutral grip with much less effort. I have had success also using the same principal to unwinding my whole upper body. If you swing to the top where your wrists are fully hinged your body will be fully coiled or wound up or "hinged" and you will be on your right leg, if you just kind of fall onto your left leg and just unwind your body without exerting muscle effort your hips will turn naturally leading the way. I think your hips will naturally "fire" smoother and faster if you try to not use muscle to rotate them but just think of your body unwinding with no effort and your body will sequence everything naturally... ?? So less effort gives more smooth speed?? does this makes sense?? it seems to work for me.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you are back and seeing improvement. Now you see the role of the arm unit. This is huge. It is secure grip loose wrists. Not sure why people think I teach a loose grip. I like what you are saying in the rest of the comment. Ideally you want this stuff happening on its own but for most they have to work on the pieces. I would keep doing what you are doing. Keep in mind also if you are not trying to hit anything why would your arms lead? If they were turned off at the top your body would always start first. So keep doing what you are doing. You are right on track. Stay focused and master it.

[@rotfan77]

Thanks Paul, I definitely want to give this a try. I’m a 56-year-old who swings pretty slow (75 - 80 currently). I wish I could see a Slo-mo replay of how the wrist are flexing during the swing and how the hands may roll over from one side to the other during the swing? But definitely some thing I want to work on and plan on starting this afternoon.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yeah that is way too slow you need to get moving otherwise you will always be too slow. Work on the release drills here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7ReIBsrrNqb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Get every ball hooking.

paul Great teacher i learn more from him then anyone i so far amazing how some teachers connect more then others

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. Simple is the key. Too many people are making this way too complicated.

[@texasvet54]

I'm inspired & I'm gonna give it a try as soon as it warms up next week. My just turned 13 yr old grandson is 5'6" and 120 lbs and still growing. He is bombing his drives and his swing speed is 105-110. The average pro is around 116mph, so it is amazing to me that he can bomb a drive 300 yd and hit 8 irons 175. Now he needs to learn how to chip and putt and manage his game. It may take a while because he plays baseball. The good news is that his golf swing doesn't look anything like most baseball player swings. It looks like a well tuned golf swing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. Kids get it so fast. They have minimal arm strength so they are not hitting versus adult who have arm strength. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2m6g3uAoLmtr7s Shows exactly what I mean and the difference between kids and adults.

[@hanafibasri2212]

Great advice Paul as always! Hinge Re-hinge. Plus pair it with tilt the body backwards a bit. For me, without tilting my body, I found I swing over the top, and slicing it. So its Hinge, Tilt, Rehinge!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well if you are slicing it you get rid of the slice spin first by rolling it from the top. Once you can hook it you are doing half right. At this point you switch to body rotation to straighten it out. It is that simple.

[@dodt14]

I get a little confused between snapping my wrists and timing club face direction. The more snap, the less direction control I have, especially if I don’t play often.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are snapping the wrists constantly until you rarely ever put slice on it. You do this daily at home in practice swings until mastered. Yes, this is work but once a week isn't going to cut it. So fast forward. You rarely ever slice it. You have the feeling of releasing it memorized. Now every time you hit the range you warm up feeling the looser wrists and releasing it like you were in the practice swings. You get to 7 iron. You hit a shot or two. Watch your ball. If you pull hook it you think great "half right" NOT "oh crap I've got a big pull hook." So the release is working. Now you switch to firing the lower body. You fire and watch your ball. Keep doing so until it goes dead straight. If you blow it right that's too much so slow down. See it now? If you master half you are only ever working on the other half. Right now you are trying to time 2 things which will be hit or miss. You need to know one of the two is going to always happen without thinking about it. So grab a 7 iron. Leave it where you can see it and every day do roll overs until you have it mastered. Working on your swing is work.

[@kanadi19]

I am a starter and I kept wondering why I got blisters on my fingers, hurt my right ribs everytime while the ball rarely exceeds 200 yards.. Watching your video really makes me realized that I had been trying to hit golf with my arms (and emotion) rather than my body swing. From now on I'll keep reminding myself to loosen my arms up. p.s.: I love your videos and can't stop watching them since they make me realize so many things I've been doing wrong until now. Thank you for sharing these videos in KZbin.

[@douglasramey3162]

Great video Paul, every time I loose effortless distance it always comes back to tightening up. It takes focus to get back that crack the whip feeling at the bottom of your swing. The million dollar question is why do we let ourselves get tensed up over time. I have not focused on the reps you mention in these comments, know that will help. Always great instruction, thanks.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. It is human nature to hit the object sitting in front of you. So you need to change your thought. Watch this tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0

[@josephoreilly7180]

I've watched many of Paul's videos, and have attempted with varying success to follow his technique. Recently, I ran across another youtuber, and he was swinging the club one handed to demonstrate a point that I don't even remember. But I started swinging one handed (left hand) as a warmup, (I play right handed) and the light bulb went on. Since I only had one hand on the club, I HAD to swing with my body and let my left wrist hinge and unhinge. Then I take a couple practice swings with both hands, but keeping the feeling with just swinging with one hand, and hit my shot. The results and especially the feeling was night and day compared to before. I'd be lucky to get 180, now consistently over 200. I'm also using this when I hit my fairways off a tee for long par 3s or short 4's. I was really terrible at that before. The last club I need to translate that feeling to is my irons, not quite there yet. The one issue I have is if I get a bit too quick with my hands on the downswing I push or fade it right (with driver). But I can fix that by letting my hands lag behind. I may be wrong as I've said it before but I think I've finally got it.

[@paulwilsongolf]

I did this tip in the past. Glad you at least found one and tried it. Keep at it.

[@DMKFACTOR]

Tension is an absolute KILLER in the golf swing! I was never taught to just let the club go. I had fallen into a trap of trying to steer the ball and I just lost all my speed. I went from an unskilled player that could hit the ball 250-260 no problem, and then took lessons. I had to relearn the golf swing and have a beautiful easy looking single pane swing now, but lost a bunch of distance. Too much tension. This reminded me I need remember to just let the club go again.

[@Reapswtf]

Wow! I've been learning golf for about 18 months now and have been doing exactly what you say - swinging out of my shoes and the ball has only been able to reach 220-230 MAX. I've been controlling it as much as I can, which has led to so little speed with maximum physical effort. With this new tip, I can swing so easy and I can still get the ball 250+ on my launch monitor. Absolutely game changer, now I just need to figure out how to keep control of the clubface, so I know where it's going, but at least I've got the distance I need! THANK YOU!

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. As much as you may think it's about hitting you are not physically strong enough to hit it longer. I am using simple physics of mass swinging around an axis. Not hitting at all. Glad you are making the switch. Once you do you will never go back to hitting.

I've been going to the range a lot recently and you're right; ALL the good young kids move their hips first in the downswing. And you see the adults and most of them just have these savage looking swings (not in a good way) like they are chopping wood with their arms. I think adults try a couple of loose swings and give up too easily they can't make contact. Keep at it! Swing like a child.

Great "simple " video to follow re increasing swing speed! Yes I am one of those people who at the age of 60, struggle to break 90mph w my driver and it is because I am too stiff/too rigid! This teaching video seems to make it so simple! My question is: it is winter where I live so if I do not have enough ceiling height to make a full swing, could I get an old driver/cut it down and then make a swing or would it be better to maybe get a shorter weighted club? Also: do u have any other videos on how to get "loose" in the wrists/hands/shoulders etc or exercises to do? Thanks and keep up the great videos and instruction!

Need to be super loose. Just try it but not for 3 balls and quit. Need to do it for a bucket. Super loose. Watch and do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLIm6l6l9ySl6M For low ceilings grip down on your club and hold it off the ground. Where there's a will there's a way. It is about the movement and getting used to it. Just do practice swings. Almost every tip I do is about loosening up so just search a round.

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you are doing well. When your friends start seeing it is when you know you are starting to get it. That's pretty good distance. Once you are ready for more then be even looser in the wrists and turn a little faster. If you don't want more lets perfect the movements and positions and get you to single digits. Easily done.

[@bailey7851]

I love your lessons and have improved my game by implementing your body swing method. Being smooth has been a game changer Taking the arms out of the equation works great until i get to 30 yards in. This used to be the best part of my game and now its absolutely horrible. Can I use my arms and less wrist for the finesse shots near the green.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you are doing well. Glad you like the lessons. For short pitches you need to set the hinge then turn to hit the shot. This is what I teach. So do your neutral grip, taller wet up with shorter clubs, ball position is slightly forward of center. Narrow stance. Then you are thinking of the butt of the club. You take the butt and point it at your target. This is the backswing. There is very little arm movement. You set the hinge. Then you switch to turning your belt buckle to hit the shot. So it's HINGE/TURN. That's it.

[@williamkerner]

Hey Paul..... it seems like you're not embracing the modern golf release which many pros are teaching today. They teach little rotation of your forearm and that you turn with your upper body and use ground forces, George Gankas teaches with method. Thoughts?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yeah I don't teach what they teach. Why would I teach the 80% what only the 20% can do? Plus, that swing is not dominating so why would I teach it? The only person anyone should be watching is Scheffler as well as the greats, Hogan, Nicklaus, Nelson, Tiger 2000-2003 etc.

[@legend9018]

Great video. The key, as you said, is a firm grip with loose wrists. It’s a tough feel to build but well worth it. I think you also have to couple that in with a bit of rotation to avoid flipping. Everyone flips (releases the wrist angles) but it’s where that release happens that determines the dynamic loft delivered. Keep up the good work 🏌🏻‍♂️

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. Takes work. You certainly do need rotation to stop flipping. As I keep saying at least 90% of everyone I have even taught had almost zero rotation at impact so this is a huge problem for sure.

[@gerryshields4722]

[@paulwilsongolf]

[@mrgolfdogs]

Do you suggest completing a full golf swing stance and follow through while practicing the hinge unhinged move?

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are doing the full swing but not thinking about it as you are thinking about the release. If you don't do anything with your body that's not good either. Just let it follow along. Once you get every shot hooking you will be switching to the body to straighten out your shots (step 2).

[@extrememetaldrummer1]

The only one who gets stronger and faster with age is you Paul, lol! I had a break through moment yesterday in regards to that duck hook I was telling you about. A PGA pro who owns a driving range that I went to yesterday saw me get frustrated after hitting a couple of duck hook shots. He came up to me and recorded my swing and spent about 20 minutes with me. The culprit... Terrible posture with my driver. When I saw that video, I was standing dead straight upright with a tilt. I literally had no bend like I do when I hit my irons. I was just so programmed to stay behind the ball that I fell into this habit. No sooner did I bend at the hips and got acclimated, I could not miss. Lost the hook immediately and hit so consistent. I'd recommend a nice video on driver posture. Not sure why that never clicked with me. Now watching your video, I see you bending nicely with driver.

[@paulwilsongolf]

No doubt. I was lifting my left heel more yesterday at the range. I think I need to keep doing this. On my little launch monitor every good swing was 117mph. My nemesis is being super tight with my coil. This going me fully back. Haven't hit it like that in a while. Just unreal solid. Always remember ... it starts with the grip and setup. Both need to be checked daily. Do this in a mirror and you will never get out of position. I am guilty of this too so it is vital we keep checking.

Do you have any tips or videos on speed training? Thanks in advance

[@paulwilsongolf]

I don't specifically have speed training tips. I would seek out and expert or get some of those sticks. The problem with speed training is you have to commit to doing it every day. Most people rarely practice. My goal is to get people to loosen up their wrists and get started at at least attempting to turn their hips. These 2 things alone will get people hitting it longer than ever. Once you can get someone seeing they are capable of hitting it longer maybe sometime in the future they will want to do speed training. In other words my tips are for the masses not the 1% that will actually do the work. Before you do speed training do these 2 tips for 30 days in practice swings. If you do them you will hit it longer than ever. Do the work and you will see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8 Once you get that and you want even more then look into speed training.

[@getahunhaile9]

Widest arc if fine. However how about the club’s setup on the ground as well as the height of the ball ?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Set the club flush on the ground than take your ball. Ball is teed so half of the ball is above the clubface. Don't go too high ir too low.

[@Popspicker]

Hi Paul… will certainly try this … how crucial is a neutral grip?

[@paulwilsongolf]

The neutral grip is vital. Strong grip with loose wrists and you will hook everything. Because you don't change the strong grip you need another flaw/compensation to straighten it out. Now you have 2 flaws and have to practice all of the time. One of the main ones is locking the wrists. Do that and you loose power too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHjEqnaDbcd9bMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpnCpnSCn9GSoM0 Learn the neutral grip here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk

I should be cupping into the through swing. Maybe you can see it in these tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpyapWyvfaiCY6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/baDPc6Stjatmf80

[@williamgeorgen529]

Yep, got it now...great video tips, I see exactly what you mean now...makes perfect sense visually and verbally. You're instruction is awesome! Thank-you, Bill G.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. So glad you like the tips. Thanks for your support.

[@williamgeorgen529]

One more quick question (sorry): To get the ball to draw with the release, do you also need to take an "inside-out" swing path? @@paulwilsongolf

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you need an inside out path. I have tons of tips on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6GbfqWfgb9nqck kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5rGl3ifpMt9n9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXeae4R-p5ebntk kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mpqYaQiNJ-e9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGGaqZefhtl-eas kzbin.info/www/bejne/pme8iJx4hdOEp6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqbYeaebYr5mr68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXm2lJyFhpZod6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJSzfpJ8iNR7hK8

I've been a fan for years Paul. But you do underestimate your talents, and most professionals do. That doesn't mean you're not right, which you are, but having such a 'loose' swing requires a ton of trust. There are days I have it, as a current 7 handicapper, and 60 years old. It is also rare for anyone in my group, of which I'm in a different group 1/2 the time, to have 100mph swing. I think mine is around 90...and maybe I get 95 on my best swings. But I would be in the 80s without your tips. I tended to grip hard and put the ball at the back of my stand in my younger years. Now, that would lead to less speed, and more injuries etc....thanks man. Your tips are the best, it's just that you have to experience what it's like to swing with your body and letting the arms and hands do the job....it's fun now...because of you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure there is trust but if you haven't been playing to your potential with your old swing then why would you not be in to trying something else? So what I like people to do is see the mechanics of it. Your arms are not arms. Your wrists are not wrists. It is unit that hinges. A hinge in life is loose. If you know that then you should trust it will hinge and rehinge 100% of the time. You are doing well and on track so loosen even more. Looser arms and wrists. Not sure I have ever had anyone come to me being loose enough. Once you loose more then feel the body doing the work. Want more power? You need to turn the hips even faster. Just do daily practice swings at home doing this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8 Actually do the work and you will be over 100mph easily.

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks Paul....wow!

[@azcharlie2009]

I'm old. 75 I've play golf all my life and never been very long, but a fairly good golfer. To this day, I still don't understand how the wrists hinge! If I try to do what I think is a wrist hinge, I slice the ball. Seems to me there are two elements to wrist hinge. Up and down, and back and through. If you get too much up and down hinge, you have to rotate the forearms to square the club. Very hard to time.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, you are forgetting simple physics of mass swinging around an axis. If you had a weight on a string and twirled it would it not pull the swing taught 100% of the time? I sure would. At first you are going to manually hinge and rehinge the wrists until you hook every shot. To do this you need to roll it from the top and get it hooking. This is half or step 1. This is you working on the spin. Once you hook about 10 in a row your hinge is working. You are on the wrong direction though. So you move to Step 2. This is using your body to straighten it out. Watch me do it in the 2 videos on this page (you do not have to buy the product): www.paulwilsongolf.com/cure-slice So you are going to roll it manually doing these drills: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7ReIBsrrNqb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Once you can do that you switch to body.

[@Popspicker]

So what changes for you Paul when you take it from 100 to 110 chs....are you driving your legs more into the ground or is it purely firing the hips harder?

[@paulwilsongolf]

I am firing my hips harder. You need to feel the ground under your feet. I am not going have ams shift and turn like what is out there. They will never get that. Like throwing a ball. Throw it farther. How would you do that? With your legs and hips.

[@Popspicker]

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks again Paul, you never let me down. I am determined to get this, I feel it is my obligation to work at it because of all the work you do to help us. I am practising the moves in the garden and am not even going to the range until it is ingrained.

[@richgold2330]

Paul - I love your videos. Your explanations and tips/drills are so easy to follow for a beginner like me. But I do have a request. I recently watched a few videos - keeping my feet close together with my PW to try and get good body rotation, loose wrists, and start my body rotating before my arms swing forward. I went to the range this morning, tried to do all that and had a miserable day, lol. So the question is - what's the best way for a newbie to learn all this? Once I start my swing, should I be trying to do them all at once? Or should I forget most of them for now and just practice one thing? I'm worried about developing bad habits if I don't at least try to do this correctly. OR is there a sequence of skills to work on, forgetting about all but one at a time? Possibly this could make a good video for beginners. Thanks, Rich

[@paulwilsongolf]

Keep in mind it is human nature too hit the ball sitting in front of you. You need to get over this temptation. It is a movement. The ball is in the way of this movement. I would be literally at home mastering the swing. So this daily in a mirror if you can. if you go to the range never hit ball after ball. This will get you hitting. You hit a few then back up and do 3 times as many practice swings working on positions, feelings, the movement etc. Then apply this to the shot. Work mostly with a 7 iron teed up a finger height so you have room for error. If you are a total beginner then start here to get the movement: Body Swing Concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2ncap17rr5ma80 Grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk Alignment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHe9lGONppdraM0 Simple Swing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYWvp4Wpn9yZf68 Wrists: Hinge Rehinge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvIhaSZr5ejo6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY Body: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 I would be doing 100 practice swings per day if not more. No joke you can build a great swing super fast. The problem is that people don't do daily practice swings. The go to the range once or twice a week and just smash golf balls. The ball is the problem. Get the moves. Doing them makes them important so you will want to do them with the ball. Hey, maybe we do a case study with you and I will post it on the channel? Let me know if you are interested.

Paul I usually hit around 90 to 95mph on my Swing Caddie and the yardages it reports hitting into a net are in line with what I see on the course. So I am pretty confident the figures it reports are in the correct ball park. I only very occasionally hit the high 90’s and only 2 or 3 times broke the 100mph barrier. When I try your drill I find my thumbs on the club restrict the looseness of my wrists. Am I maybe gripping wrongly? I also try hitting balls while doing your drill. Just L to L and I get around 70mph with nothing but the drill. Does that sound like an expected kind of result? I find my drives at the moment are just over 200yds. Maybe 220yds tops. So on 400yard par 4’s I’m always going in with a long iron or 3wood. Hence my aim to increase my driver distance this winter.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, I would think your grip is off. Here is the neutral grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk L to L at 70 is pretty good. I would stick with these 2 drills. You can easily get it to 240+ kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZesfmV9jM9sedU kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvIcpZ7jsepnq8
