[@98bballstar]

this makes so much sense. I started playing in July 2023 so only 2 months now. I've always thought to avoid a baseball swing since I've played baseball all my life. Though that may be true, the transfer of momentum and energy from within the body still remain the same.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Avoiding baseball is the worst thing you could do. For you this would take me minutes to get you hitting it unreal. Here are a few tips I did mentioning baseball. I'm sure you can relate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/il7HfGCXjZmWbLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHbZpoapiMmia8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2HcdGCtfq2hkMU Just keep it simple. You have the arm unit hinging and rehinging. Release the bat and hit it over 3rd with hook spin for about 5-10 shots in a row. Once you can do that your arms are working. At this point remember this feeling then switch to lower body to straighten it out. Watch me do it with this student: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2a1oJ2KrZqmfqs Here is what I told him: Wrists = Spin (Step 1) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Body = Direction (Step 2) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIebpoaQZpt1r9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mpqYaQiNJ-e9k (secret tip)

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for finding me and thanks for the support. Glad you realize something has to change. That hitting hard with the arms will never work and will only get worse. Just keep it simple and start to make some changes. In no time you will be using your body as the power source not your arms.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Good stuff. That's what I want to hear.

[@SpitSharp]

At the driving range today I just took my drier only because it was only a net about 50ft high by maybe 150ft long or more, enough to see a little bit of the ball to watch it sail off. Before I started a golf instructor showed up in another hitting pad waiting for someone, I said to myself, that's Paul Wilson in his disguise to see if I'm learning anything he teaches:), the first four balls I topped them, all tensed up, so I swung the club about a dozen times until I felt in control, I hit about 40 balls nice and easy, I wanted to stay there, it felt so great that I suppose I could have shot 4000 and not hurt a muscle. It's a rare feeling after all these years to finally head in the right direction, for me it's a lot of swinging, focus and discipline, it's well worth it folks. I'm 60 years of young age, I intend to swing effortlessly like Paul Wilson teaches, well into my 80's. By telling my side of the golf journey I give more than two thumbs up to support Doc Wilson, I don't to take anything free for too long. Hope I'm not out off line.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. Yes, great feeling and swing you can literally do forever. Stay loose.

[@aaronh.917]

great video, Paul! Ive never heard it explained this way before. im working on staying looser and allowing the club to release naturally. I've also switched from a very strong grip to your neutral grip... im no longer a slicer anyways thanks to some of your other videos, so the strong grip does me no good to begin with. thanks as always for the tips!

Great video and getting step by step. Understanding. Really wants to do it at the range. Thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@62Sketch]

Good vid. Always found it silly when people post a video about the secret to hitting it long and claim it's one thing. The secret to hitting it long is putting it all together in an athletic explosive action. The odd thing is many shorter hitters over use the arms. They pull the arms too far across and behind the body in the backswing and then aren't athletic enough to get the arms back out in front during the downswing. They literally have to limit all their other power sources in an attempt to accomplish that, or maybe they go for it and their arms get left so far behind it's a disaster.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Too many people of all shapes and sizes hit with the arms. Need to turn them off.

[@nellyresoort5405]

Hello Paul, I play now relaxed and hit them so much better! Let it go. Thanks Nelly from Belgium

[@paulwilsongolf]

Fantastic! Let's get all golfers in Belgium swinging nice and relaxed.

[@aaronates3095]

I have an interesting dilemma. I have fully adopted the Body Swing with the resultant consistent contact, trajectory, and no pain. What has been revealed is that my distances with the old (over)swing can’t be matched. At age 45, I am struggling with accepting the newer distance (10 - 15 yds less per club) even though the ball flight is pretty. Maybe I have maxed out with my more measured/under control swing and the only option left is a custom fitting?

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are doing it too slow. It's time to start firing the lower body way harder to get the distance. Seems like you got the arms out which was you old power source. Now get good at the new one (legs and hips). Do this daily: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooayfYCilN-gm80

[@jonahgoforth654]

[@stanleycollymore1110]

Tried out your techniques at the range yesterday. Hit it miles and realised I’ve wasted 5 years trying the “modern” style of less clubhead rotation and movement. It’s garbage. Makes it far harder to gain distance. Hingeing properly is essential for speed, especially once you get older. Thanks for the videos, Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you found me and tried it. I too wasted many years doing other things. Plus, I think into the future. I want people to have a swing for life. Imagine trying to swing that hard as an older person. Not going to happen and it will kill your body.

[@rayray8212]

Lag lag lag! When you see the pros hitting it a mile with what looks like very little effort, check out their lag from nice loose arms and wrists as the lower body pulls them around. The exception to that would be DeChambeau, lol...Thanks for the solid tips, Paul...

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you need the lag angle. He has the la angle though. I just checked his swing the other day. His wrists hinge and rehinge too.

Paul, what are your thoughts on shaft flex? Does a regular or stiff shaft work better with this system -or is a fitting required to make that determination?

Work on the swing. Then get a professional fitting. There is no standard for golf shafts so you need to try different ones to find the best ones for your swing.

[@fernando_doering]

Paul, is there any kind of deliberate hand action while re-hinging the wrists? Or it simply occurs due to the mass of the golf club, when we have loose wrists?

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, if you are working on hinging and rehinging. Once you get it, then you are not even thinking about it. So people nee to work on the grip as well as the takeaway, setting the top to their maximum hinge angle, lag, release into the through swing to rehinge it. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/infNmWyafNCNjqM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CyYXtohrN5pZI and kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYukm2V4oJ2FpcU there are more but those ones would be a good start.

[@anthonyK5493]

I've always struggled pulling or contracting my arms towards my body leading to compressed swing. Is the hinging of the club allow you to take a more fuller or lengthier swing taking away the tendency pull the arms in and chopping at the ball?

[@paulwilsongolf]

If you are chopping and contracting the the arms you are hitting. Part of loosening up is have loose wrists. This is loose wrists not a loose grip. So you need to do the neutral grip, loosen the wrists and use your body to hit the ball.

@@paulwilsongolf Thank you very much. I had an injury to my left shoulder and realized that's there's no way I was ever going back to swinging the club as I did before. I need to gradually rebuild my golf swing through the drills you're recommending to teach me new motor skills. Often, I was very tired by the end of each round from putting so much effort into the swing. I was also frustrated with my inconsistent results. When I see photos of me I can't believe how far forward I am in my stance. It felt like was standing fairly upright but the photos don't lie. When I watch you hit the golf ball it looks effortless, and your posture is great. What are your thoughts on proper golf posture or drills to stop you from bending too far forward.?

[@markliquorman9349]

I've got a problem. You say they majority of power is from hinging/unhinging the wrists. However, you illustrate this with a swing. If you just held the club in front of you and hinged/unhinged the wrists without swing your arms, how much power would you generate? I think it would be less than what you generate by swing the arms and holding the wrists fixed. I think the straightening of the trail arm provides more power than just unhinging the wrists.

[@paulwilsongolf]

The hinge is at the end or your arms. You are not just doing a dinky half swing. Of course your arms are going to move. What I don't want you doing is trying to hit with them. If you do, you tighten the hinge and lose power. It feels great but you hit the ball no where. Your arms are connected to your body. Move your body which moves your arms. There is a loose hinge at the end of the arms (wrists) which create the speed. So stop hitting, loosen the wrists and fire the lower body. If so you get all the power you need for life. Watch this video where I do nothing and get 100mph: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5CviGqkopmmqc0 If I can do that with that little effort would I not be able to do that when I'm 85 years old? Think of that as you watch me do it. If you are trying to hit when you are 85 you will literally hit it nowhere which is what almost every student I teach is trying to to and if they can fly a ball 200 yards it's a miracle.
