Snap Your Wrists for Serious Power

[@saterral]

Guys, this wrist snapping tip is seriously no joke. No kidding whatsoever, my wife was out-driving me on the course almost every time until I finally put this tip into action. I took it to the driving range and INSTANTLY added 50 yards to my driver. I went from barely rolling to 210 to LANDING at 260-270...just like that! I got the snap down in ONE bucket of 75 balls. At the end of that bucket, I hit 10 shots 250 or over IN A ROW! It was like finding buried treasure!

[@paulwilsongolf]

It is no joke. Without this you will be hitting it with your wrist locked up. Keep at it. This is a huge piece of the swing. Once you know you are doing it then switch your focus to the legs and hips for even more power.

[@grasdaddy]

After watching, not sure I heard how to do it...

Hinge then re-hinge. One of the Best tips Ever! Thanks Paul....

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. This is a huge piece of the swing. Get this and your whole world changes. Keep at it.

[@scrappy409]

This tip did the trick! I've taken a few lessons now and it's been useful. This one concept of snapping the wrists brought my whole swing together!! Thank you Paul! One trip to the range after watching this has literally added 25+ yards to every club in my bag. PW to driver. I'm usually pretty exhausted after the range because I've been swinging with my arms this whole time. This last trip to the range, I went through 4 buckets and I still had gas in the tank! What a game changer!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it helped! This is a huge part of the swing. Too many people are too tight. This tightness locks the wrists. Yes, you should be able to have tons of energy. Hitting with arms wears you out. Use the looseness of the wrists for power. Then you can do it for life. You don't have to be strong to be loose. Keep at it.

[@johncrowley3648]

Hello Paul - in my 76th year you have shown me how to hit some of the best shots of my life with more consistency. I play 6100 yards and currently carry an 11 handicap. Thank you, sir - your Body Swing Course is excellent.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the kind words and support. I appreciate it. So glad you are doing well and hitting great shots.

[@Hacker-xe8yv]

Who invented the "Rule of 85" ? If your age plus your handicap is 85 or greater you need to play from the front tees.

[@dawnscheffer2962]

This is the first time I've heard it explained this way. I finally understand the term loose hands. Thank you so much! Love your videos!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful! Give it a try for sure. Once you get this it will be night and day from being tight.

[@markmatthews6839]

Paul, I had a two inch tap in birdie yesterday using your swing. Loose arms, loose wrists, bingo!!! Thank you!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Fantastic! Those are the thoughts. Just let it go. Too many people just whacking away at it. If it was the way the great majority would be good players. Glad you see it. Stay loose!

[@brunop.8588]

Paul - I've been watching some of your videos, and you have a great and simply way of explaining things. This snapping wrist sensation is something I have started to experience. It doesn't come to me every time, as I am working also on perfecting my tempo. But yes, when I experience that snap, the swing becomes so effortless. It still takes more practice, until it becomes second nature. Anyway, thank you so much! Your videos are really great!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. Simple is the key. The wrist snap is huge. This will get you power and get you squaring or closing the face (which is better than leaving it open). Don't worry about tempo right now. Get the snap and master it first. This is priority 1. Once you are confident you know the feeling then you are starting to apply legs and hips as the power source and to straighten it out.

[@johnlambert2129]

Paul, I am excited that the question mark, gave me a club and a half more distance. I have a sleeve of 23 balls, that I hit here on the "Five Iron Ranch" , in Florida. After my first sleeve of hitting into my paddocks, I barely hooked the first few, but the rest went dead straight, for the most part. My left foot, after a few swings, leaves an inditation on the grass, and after a sleeve, the grass becomes dirt. I believe because of my weight getting to left side, is why I didn't hook much? I hit 5 sleeves yesterday, and after the 3rd, and watching your "Snap the wrists", was amazed how straight the ball flight is...... Thank you so much! Awaiting daylight to hit some more...... Retired and 64... John

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you found me and are working on it. The snap is a big part of the swing. When you do it I would be doing it sooner from the top and get it hooking. This is step 1 fixing the spin. If you can hook every ball you then switch to body to straighten it out. So you feel the snap but you think about the legs and hips. In your case you are hitting is straight which is great. I just want you to be b able to switch to thinking about the legs and hips in the future. Right now you are thinking snap to hit it straight so can you ever stop thinking about it and still hit it straight? Most can't. When they stop thinking about it they blow it right. So roll early and get it hooking. See this as half right. You have the spin. Then switch to legs and hips. I have tons of tips on how to use them.

[@brianvickers72]

Great tips Paul, so many videos are confusing but yours are straight forward and relevant for a senior golfer like me. Thanks!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure but once you find that person stick to that person. Jump around and you will be in trouble.

[@jsusna1972]

Many years ago, my brother told me to hit the ball with my practice swing. When I would stand behind the ball and swing a few times, it was effortless and the club would snap like you describe. However, once I got over the ball, I would tense up and grip the club too tightly and there was no telling where the ball would go. Now, I work in a good waggle to get my grip set but keep my wrists loose. I will actually exhale before starting the club back and make an effort not to tense up my grip and chest muscles. I've actually said, "La-de-da" to stay loose. When the club snaps and the ball takes off, it's magical.

[@paulwilsongolf]

He meant well but didn't give you the whole picture. Here is why you couldn't do it with the ball. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0 Love the fact you got it now. Not hitting is a huge key. Glad you figured it out. I would watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrTZZycgNqNf9k

Snap driver from the top and get it hooking. Once you can do that then switch to body to straighten it out. You are trying to snap and hit it perfectly. This won't work cause you would always have to think of snapping. Need to overdo it and hook it.

[@alexandrews4161]

Thanks for sharing another great tip Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are very welcome

[@319vegeta5]

I kinda stumbled on this recently and was amazed at the results. It seems so much golf instruction involves telling you NOT to snap your wrist or hinge at the beginning of the backswing. So I got fed up one day and just said to myself "hinge the wrist at the backswing and see what happens" and then BOOM I eventually felt a feeling I'd never felt with my irons before. I had absolutely bombed my 7-iron inexplicably. Want to know what else? by making the L-shape with my wrists, my shoulders magically got a great turn and felt powerful. Want to know what else? I was actually hitting my 4-iron (my hardest club) solidly. It's not perfect yet, but it feels so right when I do it. If anyone is telling you the swing doesn't involve wrists, it's all hips and shoulders then please try Paul's tip. I plan to keep practicing it and snapping my wrists.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you tried it and are seeing results. Yes, it is truly amazing the different opinions on the swing out there. For those not wanting you to do this I guess they would rather you continue to have locked wrists with an open face hitting it nowhere. I will never teach that. Loose wrists and power it with your body. Simple and effective. So effective you can do it for life. Keep up the good work.

[@John-wx9oy]

As Paul says, it takes work to get it right. But when you do, that snap makes the most wonderful ball compression sound you've ever heard and most beautiful ball flight you've ever seen - and all so effortlessly. It's that momentary essence of golf that keeps you hooked.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly, this is a piece of the swing. A very important piece. Without this you will hit it nowhere. So everyone needs to put in a little work and get used to a few new moves and feelings. Once they do they too will hit it longer and better than ever.

[@scotto3845]

Tried this today Paul. Really worked well! Great tip!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great. This is a huge piece of the swing. Get this and you can literally take your swing to a whole new level. Once you get it start switching to legs and hips.

[@stevenklinkhamer9069]

Have been experiencing this lately. By coincidence I hit the ball much better and further after hinging those wrists I've noticed. Just what I needed to hear- here. Thanks for explaining the benefits so well.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Well the release is a huge part of the swing. This gives you the clubhead speed and obviously squares the face. This is where I start with students. I want them hinging it the rolling the wrists to get every ball hooking. Once they can do that the arm unit is working so I switch to body rotation to straighten it out. Literally 2 steps. So keep doing what you are doing with the wrists but be aware that you need to add the body for direction. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE

[@berrywalton3918]

Paul, since incorporating this tips with loose writs, your grip, and firing the hips, my last 3 rounds have been under 90. That has never happend before. Also last night i played 9 holes and had 5 birdie opportunities. BTW then theres putting!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. Heading in the right direction is a great feeling. Putting is simple. You need to be target oriented. Imagine a ball in your bottom hand. Thumb straight down the flat surface of the grip. Feel like you are throwing the ball at the target. Practice only long putts 30+ feet and 6 feet or less. That's it. Do that you will be great.

[@pjpcadet]

Excellent video !! Why most of teachers lead their student to a one-piece take-away which made them struggling with their hips, lower back and so on, without any rhythm ? I play since 1991 and I initiate my swing with my wrists ( Justin Rose does it). It gives tempo and allows a great effortless acceleration. Re-hinging naturally happens. The secret is in the loose wrists but many pros call it flipping and avoid to teach. That’s not flipping , that’s using the elementary biomechanics principles!! Thanks to share.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. I am going to keep teaching loose wrists. In no way is this a flip and it's what gives you the power. Glad you see it.

[@pjpcadet]

@@paulwilsongolf , yes Sir! It’s not a flip because there’s also a rotational motion of the body with your method. I do appreciate your points of view about an efficient swing which doesn’t hurt and gives such a great pleasure . The aim is to enjoy the game, isn’t it??

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure is. Too many people out there that just need to try something different. Get used to it. Then serious improve their games.

[@FloridaNativeFishingChannel]

I just practiced this tip in my backyard and i can feel how the club whips more at the bottom of my swing instead of me swinging as hard as i can from to top and the club whipping more at the top. Almost like snapping a whip. I hope this helps with my distance and contact. Ive always been very tense in my driver swing and have lost all confidence in my driving ability or lack there of.

[@paulwilsongolf]

This is the feeling. Keep doing it every night until you are used to it. Also watch some of my tips and the hips and you should improve dramatically.

[@method341]

The weird thing is that snapping the wrists FEELS slow to me but the ball goes so much further. I couldn't believe it but it's hard to replicate (for me). The key is to make sure I hinge but keep it loose in the downswing to let it release naturally. It feels slow because I'm not FORCING anything which is counter-intuitive.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well if the ball is going farther you are doing it right so keep at it for sure.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Whatever you are doing it great. Obviously you see that it works. Just do it daily in practice swings. Also, keep in mind you should be doing it and getting every ball too hook. Too many people try to always hit perfect shots. So some they hook. Some straight. Some sliced. Well, that is not consistent. Why not hook every ball? Then it is working every time. You get used to it and train the wrists to release every time. This is half. Once you can do that you move to the other half. Direction. This is body. So you already know you are going to release it. You feel this snap through impact. You THINK about the legs and hips to start down. So you hit the top and fire the legs (arms are turned off). Then you FEEL it release. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE Think about it. Everyone is working on stuff trying to hit every shot perfectly. It takes 2 things to hit it on line (leaving out contact for this example). You have spin and direction. Get the spin first. Master it. Then you know what the ball is going to do before you even do it. Then you move to body to straighten it out. It is that simple. Think about what I said. Let it sink in.

[@method341]

@@paulwilsongolf thanks for this Paul. I have been really struggling with my swing and I needed to hear that. The next time I play I will try to draw every ball.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, don't wait. Literally do daily practice swings at home. Then when you get to the range you may already be doing it so then you can add body right away to straigthen it out. Doesn't take long.

Hello, Great instruction! How do I keep the left arm from bending on the backswing when trying to keep the arms loose?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks. As for the left arm you do not have to keep it straight. This is what is wrecking people's golf swings. The try to force is straight and lock everything up. There have been tons of pros who bent the arm. Jack, Freddie, Watson, Daly. Oh yeah look who's dominating the men's tour right now. Scottie Scheffler. Big break in his arm. So watch this then never try to force you arm straight ever again: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4XMhWN5bb15aLc

Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. That's a big drop in handicap. I do have putting tips on my membership site but no so much on youtube. If you are a poor putting you are thinking about your stroke. Putting is simple. You need to be target oriented. Imagine a ball in your bottom hand. Thumb straight down the flat surface of the grip. Feel like you are throwing the ball at the target. Practice only long putts 30+ feet and 6 feet or less. That's it. Do that you will be great.

[@mikehergenroether6160]

I was shown this by my local coach. Works wonders for my wedges and short irons, and even improves loft. Word of caution on the longer irons though. Its a lot of movement on a longer club and harder to be accurate.

[@paulwilsongolf]

What you are missing is you are not doing this purposely forever. You are doing it until you get rid of slice spin, get great power and contact. At this point you remember this feeling as you switch to hitting it with the legs and hips with the arms turned off completely (powerless). At this point if you are not trying to hit or help the ball you are not manipulating the clubface so it is amazingly consistent.

[@matt79hz]

I had a lesson a while ago, and the Pro was getting me to "exit left". Which I believe was keeping the face sqaurer for longer, which would kind of be the opposite to snapping on a dime.. I guess there's a balance. Exiting left and keeping the face sqaurer for longer probably relies on a decent amount of body speed... Passed your channel onto a beginner today suggesting you have the simplest, best instructionals in KZbin. I do feel though snapping wrists can introduce a lot of variables.

[@paulwilsongolf]

I tried the exit left swing 20 years ago. I couldn't keep it out of the parking lot on the right. Yes the problem with that swing is you need a lot of hip rotation which the average person cannot and will never do. Also, is that swing dominating on tour. No. This is why I will never teach that swing. Plus, it gets you super tilted with right side bend at impact. Imaging doing that when you are 70. Yeah right.b Just let the arms go. No power. Fire the body and wherever the arms go they go. Powerless arms. If you do this you are not manipulating the face which make is super consistent too. The hold off left is you holding it off. What if you don't hold it off and turn though?

[@johncrowley3648]

Just to add, I am hitting my irons with confidence and with the distances I had 30 years ago. I smile inwardly when the younger players tell me my swing looks great, I have picked ul swing speed and I'm hitting great shots too.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great feeling when you keep up to younger players and they comment on your swing. Seems like you are on track. Just keep doing daily practice swings at home (no ball) and keep trying to make the positions and movements more and more perfect.

[@edwardberger6323]

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it was helpful! This is a big part of the swing.

[@magikkris]

that feeling saved me. people want to HIT the ball like a nail with hammer when the felling has nothing to do with HIT but with THROWING the club as if you wanned it to fly the longest possible in the air AND rotating on himself as much as possible BUT NOT LOOSING DISTANCE FLY ! because you will try to have the club rotating ON ITSELF as much as possible but GOING THE LONGEST POSSIBLE at the same time, this produce a very round and shallow down swing while an elongated elipse will follow trought very low after the ball contact and you HAVE to be tension free th THROW it's harder to have this mental stat on HITTING stuff.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Sorry to hear about your injury. So glad you are still able to play golf. You are proof that it is in your wrists. This gives you the power and quite a lot. You get a little more if you use your body but it would not be double. I would say 30% more. So for most people who are just hitting with arms they need to loosen the wrists so they get the power. If so, anyone can hit the ball well.

[@Eqnotalent]

How to learn or perfect the timing of the snap? Especially on the driver.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Once you get every ball hooking you switch to firing your lower body. You watch your ball as you do. Fire a little legs and hips. As you do the ball will go less left. So you take note of that. Fire a little more and it it getting closer to the target. Fire too hard it goes right of target so you need to slow down. Once you figure out how much legs and hips you need to hit it straight you memorize this and keep applying it to all shots. Literally within 10 shots you should be hitting it dead straight. If you totally lose it, go back to hooking it.

[@lwayne-z3w]

Thanks for the tip. Watched this 3 times. So does the snapping action occur just before or just after impact with the ball? Newish golfer here so prone to asking dumb questions. The golf swing happens so quickly it's hard to get a true picture, in my case.

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's okay. I want people to snap it early and get it hooking. If you do you will be doing it 100% of the time. If you try to do it just before you hit the ball you make do it 50% of the time and blow it right 50% of the time. I like 100%. So you do it from the top. Once you can hook about 10 in a row you remember the feeling but switch to firing your lower body. This will straighten it out. Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8

[@dogloverjb6873]

great video... when I do this in front of my instructor...he saids I am trying to scoop it. How do I correct the scoop but still snap my wrists? I am having a problem getting this .

[@paulwilsongolf]

Your instructor is trying to get you to hit it straight in one step which will never happen. You are doing this to purposely hook it getting rid of all slice spin. At this point you are doing half right. He sees this as bad. I see this as great. Now you have half just need to get the other half. This is s body rotation. Still feel the release but think about firing the lower. So you hit the top then fire the hips. If they move first you hit it dead straight. Wrists - spin body = direction. Just need to see it differently. Watch me do it in the second video on this page. Scroll down to it: www.paulwilsongolf.com/cure-slice

[@sheldor73]

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, this is a huge piece of the swing that will fix your spin. Remember though, you then need to work on direction to straighten it out.

[@joelferretti5614]

Paul, thanks for the tip, always great to see new videos from you. There are times when I was just doing practice swings, trying to hinge and rehinge, and that feeling of a snap was present. I was afraid that I was using too much arms so I then backed off. When practicing, do you try and snap at full speed or do you just let it snap naturally?

[@paulwilsongolf]

As you are learning it you are snapping it and getting used to it. You could try some at varying speeds. If you were just standing around on a tee deck lets say you would be doing it slow so you remember the feeling and keep the wrists loose. Then as you step up you use your body and let the release happen. Keep in mind if you snap too much you will hook it. This is a good thing. Get hooking it consistently then the wrists are working so you would be switching to body to straighten it out.

[@bwmillworkinc.9496]

Hey Paul, another great video. I've learned to play this great game from watching your tips. I've gotten to the point I am hitting my PW to 8 iron(old lofts, a 41 degree 8i) fantastic , hinging and rehinging and am supremely confident from 130 yards and in that I will hit the green. Playing with a few lower handicaps recently and was every bit their equal in this yardage range now thanks to what I've learned watching your videos and I'm just now hitting a full year of playing. Consciously hooking the ball is a great drill to help straighten out driver, I need to keep working at it so I can keep these tee shots in bounds so my best front 9 of 39 can turn into every round of sub 80 golf!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow that's great for how little time you've been playing. You are on your way for sure. See the rolling wrists and fixing a part of the swing (spin). Just do this daily at home. This is really no more than a few dedicated sessions to master it because it feels so weird versus not rolling. So as you keep rolling it you need to memorize the feels so you can do it without thinking about it. I have literally had people memorize this in 4 repetitions (no joke). So you focus on the spin. If you try to do this on the range though you will hit everything left and be in trouble. That's why you need to get this quickly. Do it at home in practice swings. When you play you are thinking body. Coil/uncoil. Then you watch your ball and it will tell you what to do. If you want to get both while you play before each shot you roll 3 -5 times. Then you are repeating the roll all day and the feeling is fresh on your mind for each shot. You then step up to the ball and think coil/uncoil. As you hit your shot, you watch your ball. DO NOT dwell on the negative. If it pull hooks that is half right (spin). If you push it that is also half right (direction inside out swing path). The objective is to master 1 of these. Then you are only ever thinking about the other. So you need to memorize how much leg drive do you need to hit it straight. That is what you are watching when you hit every shot. So focus on the roll as I said. Master this then you never have to work on it again. Once you can do that you are only ever thinking of the body.

Went to range today after watching 10 of your videos...im a 9 handicap..playing for years...but now 66...and searching for help......after watching the videos....the main idea is to take the focus of the arms and hit out of swing....the body/hips are the swing generator and the arms transfer this power by a "cracking the whip"!...type of action....i hit 2 buckets....focusing on standing tall to ball.....letting head move....and not looking at shot until after the arms have released at least to 3 oclock position....tried looking at label on ball...on address..then seeing more on backswing the keep looking at it until release done.....ive come to my own conclusions....1....you must maintain a smooth tempo...cannot aggressively swing....only can swing as fast as you can only to maintain balance!....if you overdo it...all is lost...you lock up...stand up lose your spine angle...over...2...keeping eye/head on ball post impact/release ....(2 feet) past ball until 3 oclock...keeps your spine angle tilted....now when i see the ball it is with and angled head and eye line...and i know i hit a good shot because i pick up the ball as its rising just about to reach its apex....and then start down ...ball flight amazing....also amazing is i grt a small divot....but 50% of time i just sweep grass...zero divot...but hit solid.....my arms are like ropes...this is key....the hips must turn back and thru...with the turn thru...controlling the shot...the head must stay down to see impact...and let club release to a full follow thru...this helps you maintain spine angle to see the shot thru a pga tour perspective...the head is tilted....no doubt...if you have a balanced follow thru...99%of the time ...your shot is pure...the real focus is making my arms feel like ropes/firing my hips/ and keeping my head looking at ball post release to maintain spine angle and seeing that ball just about at apex!....a bad shot usually is from trying to hard to hit with arms....swinging to hard....and seeing the ball flight thtu horizontal eyeline==== you stood up on the ball!....after 2 buckets not bad!....more buckets to come!....thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, no hitting. Allow the mass (club) to swing wherever it wants. Then you are not twisting the face hitting everywhere. Crack the whip is a good analogy for sure. This is speed. You are on your way. When I work with people and they start too loosen up I tell them it is 10x looser than that. So keep that in mind that you are getting a looser feeling because you've been tight. It is way looser than you think. In no way do I try to hit or help the shot with my arms. I just let them go.

Hello. I am a Norwegian man 73 years old, and I have struggled with slice in many years. Now I think I am more or less free for it. I have seen a lot of your videos, and I think all of them is intersting. About the drill "snap your wrists" are you shallowing the club?

Hi Paul!, does this works with a strong grip?!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Why would you want a strong grip after doing this? You keep a strong grip and roll it you will probably smother hook everything. See what happens when you add body but I think it's going to be too much hook. I don't teach a strong grip. Not necessary with my technique. Here is my neutral grip tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk A tiny bit stronger than that is fine and will give you a slight draw. If you have a huge hook and you are not trying to hook it then you have a grip problem.

Another great tip Paul… in the UK we are now looking at 8 degrees c sometimes not rising at all. Any advice on staying loose and keeping the feel. I never use a glove above 16 degrees. In winter just so I can play use winter gloves but all the feel goes.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, it's tough in cold weather. That is why I'm a fair weather teacher and player. Ha. There is no real secret to playing in winter climates other than swing easy. Swinging hard is tough if you are tight and all wrapped up. The wrists must remain super loose to give you clubhead speed while turning your body not quite as fast as when you have less layers. It is the same swing but you might not be able to do it with the range of warmer climates.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You don't see it. I guess the tips I have coming up will explain it to everyone. You are seeing the bad in the shot. I am seeing the good. Huge difference. To me the wrists would be working (pull pull hook) body not working because those shots are a direction problem not a spin problem. See it now? So what do you need to do to hit it dead straight? Roll and snap and loosen until you rarely ever put slice spin on it. At this point you have mastered half (wrists). So you would then be working on body (direction). Keep your eye out for some of my future tips. I will become crystal clear what you need to do and how you need to see it.

The thing people are missing is that you need to get something as opposed to nothing. This means people are always trying to work on something and hit perfect shots. Sometimes you need to over do things to get it. So for you get used to hooking it by rolling it early. When you hit your shot watch the spin. FORGET DIRECTION. Once you get every ball hooking you then remember this feeling so you can switch to your legs and hips to straighten it out. See it now? Work on it in 2 steps instead of trying to get it in 1 step (which will never work). Wait for my next tips. This will clarify.

Well you can tee it up if you can. This stops people from hitting the mat and have it radiating up their arms.

Sounds like your grip is a little too strong. Strong grip loose wrists = hook. You want the loose wrists so you can get power for life. So I would make the grip a little more neutral.

Quit over analyzing it. Snap it before you hit the ball and hook every shot. Once you can do that it is working. Once it is working then switch to firing your lower body to straighten it out. As you do the drill you will feel where it snaps. Then you are watching your ball to see if you are doing it early enough. Slicing is too late. I want it hooking.

Changing the rate of acceleration is called the jerk, or third derivative. More commonly known as a breakfast cereal, snap, crackle, and pop are the fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives.

I am a racquetball player and have just taken up golf, (74 years old). In racquetball, if you do not 'cock' and snap your wrist at point of impact, you will generate no racquet speed, hence no power. I have applied Paul Wilson's wrist action in golf and my club speed has increased a lot which results in greater distances with all my clubs. It does take time to develop and my best additional tip, (transferred from racquetball0, is to try your best to watch the club hit the ball as your snap your wrists.

Snap it before impact. Everyone says after. That obviously is not working. Snap before get it hooking then add body rotation to straighten it out.

[@edwarddelavilla3475]

Does the wrist snap before or after impact?

[@paulwilsongolf]

I want you snapping before impact. If so you will hook it. This is half right. Your wrists are working. Once you can do that you switch to firing the lower body. This straightens it out. Too many people want everything all at once so they never get anything. Get half. Then get the other half. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3amkK2bmtWWqJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8

@@paulwilsongolf I have a strong grip, if I snap my wrist at impact it hooks. I’ll watch the vid you sent, thank you Paul! ❤️

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's why I don't promote a strong grip. Just do my neutral grip here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk

@@paulwilsongolf Yeah, naturally swing with a strong grip and changing it cost me accuracy and massive distance lost. Changing my grip is not an option. I just learned to keep the face more square through the ball before forearm rotation and my shots are dead straight now. No need to play a fade or draw, just straight now. Thank you for your help, you helped me pay more attention to grip wrist relationship. With a strong grip I can load and hinge my lead wrist a lot more. My driver distance is over 300 yards every hit, but I could never get near that with neutral… also felt like I had more variables in the timing of the swing with a neutral/weak grip… guess I’m just weird lol.

[@mossbergshockwave623]

It's harder to do this with the driver. But it's crisp with the irons. I wish I did this years ago.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Just need to roll it sooner. Driver is longer. Takes longer to square

[@johnbartel5229]

It seems like your body swing method requires almost perfect timing to be effective. Can you please let me know if this is not the case and why?

[@paulwilsongolf]

There is timing in every golf swing. With these tips I want the person hooking everything first. Yes, this is too much but if the ball is going one way we then know where it is going to go before the person hits it. After the person can do that you switch to adding body to straighten it out. Wrists - spin body - direction. So you watch your ball and keep firing the body until you hit it dead straight. Once you do, you memorize how much body you need. I did a tip on this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH3WnHqvbNeootE How do you get this unbelievably consistent. You base it on coiling and uncoiling your body and powerless arms coming down and through. No hitting with the arms means no manipulation of the face allowing physics to square the face. Watch me do it: www.paulwilsongolf.com/cure-slice I have taught the same way since lesson 1 back in 1991 and get ureal results. I don't give it all away here but enough to get people started.

[@kaylakiddo]

Every time I was hitting 200+ yards with very little effort. Have to get the feel consistent though

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yep, just need to keep working on it so you do it every time. Just do it at home every day. In no time you will master it.
