"Nose over the rear foot instep" at top of the backswing and staying there through impact really put my swing together for long clubs and irons. Awesome tip!!
Just followed your instructions and I tried at my SIM and I am shooting at least 30 metres further. You have the clearest explanations and hope you can keep sharing and let every golfers who come upon your video enjoy the game
Very good. Glad you are seeing results. Simple is the key. Too many people making this stuff way too complicated. If it's simple you can try it and see some results (which you did). Now you'll keep working on it. Thanks in advance for telling others. Need all the help I can get to get the word out.
I had been taking lessons for the last couple years. They were originally helping but I had stopped making progress and was actually getting worse. I have completely changed how I have been playing since I found your videos about 4 weeks ago. I have had my most consistent and best rounds of my life, including my best ever today. Thanks for all the tips.
I must have watched this 20 times and thought I had it all figured out, to no avail. Stubborn me constantly locking up, bloopers a mile high. Finally put my trust in this method yesterday and hit it 240 without any issue. I nearly jumped out of my pants, I could not believe it! Thank you, Paul! For anyone watching this video... GOLD!
Glad it helped! Everyone wants to hit and hit hard. Sure, you might get a few out of 100. I need you to get 70-80% and they are long and straight with no pain. Just need to understand it. Trust it. Try it for more than 3 balls. If you do, you will start to get it. Once you get it you won't want to stop doing it.
@@paulwilsongolf Agreed and agreed! Once you learn how to practice self control and utilize this method, it's a game changer as you say. Like I said, I was on the tee the other day and got so fed up with hitting shots half the distance I knew I as capable of and so high. I knew I had the right set up with ball position, stance, posture, etc but I was locking up and trying to kill it, thus hitting down on it. I sat there and said, let me swing without killing it. It went double the distance and it hit dead center of the driver club. I then repeated this on the next hole. Thanks Paul!
Hi Paul, I've been following you for 3 months now, everyday, never missing a new tip. It's been as if I had had a revelation. I used to be so tight and overthinking about what to do. My swing was so polluted that I felt constantly frustrated saying to myself : what am I doing here playing golf if I have no fun doing it ? I was fed up with fat shots and inconstancy. Then you came and well, I believe in my potential again. Feel loose is the key, I like the hinge rehinge tip. I'm 61, 14 handicapper and I really believe I can reach single one day. Thank you from France.
Bar none the best Golf Coach on TH-cam. Recently retired and playing more golf. On my quest to break 100, 104 at Bonita National yesterday. Thanks Paul! from Naples,FL.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Breaking 100 is very easily done. Just need a few key moves. - grip and taller set up (not too tall) - Easier swing instead of trying to hit super hard. - super loose wrists hinging and rehinging (get this first until you don't slice) - think coil and uncoil This is what hits the ball not your arms. Just stick to those things and get good at them. You can watch these tips too: Simple Swing: th-cam.com/video/gTLvRsjwfIM/w-d-xo.html Wrists: Hinge Rehinge: th-cam.com/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/M868QsTlGt4/w-d-xo.html Body: th-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/w-d-xo.html
Paul, another excellent tip! What I do is add your most important tips to my notes . I print that half page of notes and put it with my scorecard on the course. When I feel I am slipping back to bad habits, I reread the appropriate tip and execute it on my next shot or drive. It keeps me from having too many swing thoughts and allows me to focus on what’s important in that specific situation weather it be a drive, iron shot or chip. You have made me a smarter golfer by far. Thank you Mr. Wilson. 🙂
I have unsubscribed to every other golf instruction channel and I ONLY follow you now. I sent the link to your last 7 videos to my regular golf partner. My one buddy broke 100 for the first time. My other buddy shot 85 for the first time in years (gave away 10 strokes inside 30 yards so please do a pitch shot video soon!) and I had 4 birdies on the front 9 last week for the first time since I was a club pro in 1998! Seriously. Spine tilt. Relaxed arms and grip. The one that helped me most was extending my arms after contact to get the clubface square and getting rid of my outside/in path and chicken wing. Paul you are amazing at getting back to basics and delivering your message.
Makes sense. Even if you were not following me I tell people all the time to follow one teacher so they are not confused. Glad you and your friends are doing well. Thanks for the promo and support. Keep at it.
Paul it’s crazy how much this works!! I went from like a 200 carry to a 250 carry a few times on the range todsy! And my balls were dead straight!! Thabks so much!!
I love your videos. Found them a couple weeks ago and improved 10 strokes. Everyone thinks I have new clubs. I told them to watch your videos, but they don’t believe me. I just smile as I know your video was what made me play better.
Great job! Well thanks for trying to spread the word. Eventually they will follow. Just got to keep making you better. Funny how they always seem to think it's the clubs.
Thanks again Paul for all your help-I transitioned from the stack and tilt (disaster) to your lessons and boy howdy what a difference-Staying behind the ball and loading the right side has helped me immensely
I was trying the stack n tilt but wasnt having very much success either...seemed I was hitting it shorter than before... I tried committing to it but it seemed to bring back my chicken wing again that I thought I had gotten rid of. Short pitching like 50 yards was better it seemed with SnT but that was about it. Oh sure you hit some good shots but it was a hard road n I think you convinced me Paul when I was looking for tips to fix the old bird wing.... my buddy was out driving me with his 3 wood.... wait till I show him....lol
Paul, thank you for your recent tips. I'm a late bloomer in the game. I'm 62 and started playing in earnst about 5 years ago, with much frustration.Your previous video about "touching your neck with the shaft" has already started to help my tempo problem. I'm planning on adding this drill on the range today. I have a very stiff and concentrated approach to my swing, these "Effortless" drills ate going to be game changers for me. Great explanation of the basis of a golf swing.
I set up a practice area with a mirror and a net. I find watching your tips and actually seeing it in the mirror helps enormously. Especially this video, tee shot sets up the rest of the hole. You may feel you are doing these steps correctly but the mirror does not lie....
Paul... you are my "go to guy" for all of my disappearing bad habits !!! I took the green jacket today at golf... nice loose swings had me getting some long drives and my irons were popping out some longer yardages too. Your ideas work and I will see you one day to get some lessons... THANKS !!!
Very good. "Nice loose swings" perfect wording. I hope others are reading this. Look me up if you come to town or work with me on my app CoachLink: bodyswing.com/coachlink
Paul you're the man. I enjoy all your videos. Simple & relatable tips. Great instruction. You have helped improve my game so much & really made golf enjoyable for me. Thank you!!
Hi , reached 91mph club head speed after following these tips, more to come i think. Now going to buy the course from the website, effortless speed, been hitting at the ball for 30years plus ! thanks Paul 👍
Good job. Breaking 90 mph is a great goal. Not sure if you saw this one but if I can do this you can too: th-cam.com/video/O9jr3G1FF6M/w-d-xo.html I am not hitting at all. This is a huge piece. So get this then switch to legs and hips for power: Master this drill: th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html Watch this too: th-cam.com/video/GvpFTATb7Q0/w-d-xo.html
Thx Paul for the great advice. It really hit home using the "throwing the baseball analogy" to add more power to your drives. Im a 50 yr old that has gained 20 yds on my drives with your tips!
This gentleman's videos are the most common sense driven golf videos on the internet. Most have you doing a million individual moves that are supposed to get you into the positions this video puts you in with simple moves. The more moves you have to remember at set up means the more you will forget and that will paralyze your swing abilities.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Work on too much and you get nothing. Make it complicated you get nothing. Simple is the key for sure. Work on the pieces and you will get it.
Hi Paul, Thanks for all the useful tips. From the above video clip, I finally noticed that the right elbow is pretty close to the body swing. I adjusted my body swing. I feel that my swing becomes more powerful than before.
Wow! What an amazing short video to learn to hit the drive effortlessly. It felt like I was not even hitting the ball. How does that make sense? Once you have tried it what the results that make totally sense. Paul, love your style of teaching. Easy to follow, easy to understand
Glad you liked it and so glad you like my teaching. Thanks. All of my tips explain it in greater detail but start with this one: Body Swing Concept: th-cam.com/video/E8y9jEyY35k/w-d-xo.html Then just go back and start watching others on my channel: th-cam.com/users/paulwilsongolf
Brilliant Video! I suffer from reverse pivot like you did. Though I am quite long, impact is inconsistent and I am sure I could drive it straighter. To move the head makes so much sense though maybe the Great like Hogan and Nicklaus told us something different. Keep teaching us the right way, Paul!
Thanks so much. You need to move your head for sure. Tons of pros move their head. Nicklaus pre-cocked it. Hogan moved it going back then re-centered as the he to the top. McLean measured pro head movement in July 2001 issue of golf digest. Average pro head movement is 3.6 inches. Average amateur is .7 of an inch.
This our of control feeling goes away after a while. Just keep doing it. For sure this will give you so much more distance. Get addicted to these 2 drills. Do them daily: th-cam.com/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/w-d-xo.html This is important too: th-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks once again Paul, awesome tip which I will be trying out tomorrow on the course. Looking forward to your next lesson which I have no doubt will help to improve my game. Really appreciate your expertise.
First time I really watched your tip. To be honest I didnt think your ideas were good. I sure do now. Your concepts are easy and make sense. Cant wait to give them a try. Thanks,
Not sure why you would think that but now we are on the same page. Simple is the key. I know others make it complicated. I just don't do this because I know my students. They usually hit balls 20 mins before they play once a week. Good luck doing complicated moves, positions etc. when you are not practicing. This is why I keep telling people to do daily practice swings. Keep it simple. Pick out one or two things and just start to make a some changes. The main concept being not hitting with the arms but the body. Keep on watching and no joke I will get you playing the best golf of your life in no time.
Thanks so much. I had many questions over the years that no one could answer. So I had to figure this stuff out myself. I'm someone that needs to know "why." Glad you 're with me.
Happy to help! Fix that and you take you whole game to a new level. th-cam.com/video/DkD29OArc88/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7o65z_pd28s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/u2SktWUESaA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Er3LpqxOAaM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/aaoAY3wQxMw/w-d-xo.html
P as in pitching wedge. You only have one swing so if one club is not working then you are changing it or have a mental issue with that one club. Hit another club and feel the swing of that club then apply it to the P.
I think the toughest part is transitioning the weight from the back to front. If you don't have it timed correctly you will either hit the ground or the ball will go a lot than it should.
This is a big part of the swing. It can be hard because people want to hit. If they want to hit they are not even thinking of using the lower body. Go to switch the thought. Fat shots are so simple to fix: th-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/w-d-xo.html
Great video - Paul can you do a video on thumb pressure and the role of the thumbs on both hands as it pertains to the neutral grip - how too much thumb pressure reacts to the golf swing or what effects it has if the top thumb is in the wrong place etc... thanks.
Thanks. I did a grip pressure video here: th-cam.com/video/GQmsOE7dRXs/w-d-xo.html then you need to watch this tip where I talk about compression of the weak thumb: th-cam.com/video/KZAj2Bk8Roc/w-d-xo.html you will feel this into the through swing too.
Thanks for your golf lessons,had my best round of 77 usually in the late 80s love the way you explain things ,if I lived in America I would shout you a beer
That's great news. Congrats! big step breaking 80. Now don't get too confident. You need to watch this tip and keep it in mind: th-cam.com/video/cNhIyhi136E/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the almost beer.
Love the hinge and rehinge technique. I also see professionals hitting their tee shots without the tee coming out of the ground. It just bends forward a bit. Any tips on teeing up the ball?
Some stay in some come up. Depends on angle of attack. I like half the ball or a little more above the crown of the club. Pretty standard. Too low = not good. Too high = sliding too much.
I’ve focused so much on the technicalities of the swing and always thought of myself to be more of a technical player but I’ve come to realize I’m more of a feel type of player. Your lessons are a nice blend of both but always returning to the feeling of the swing rather than focusing too much on the technicalities of it. Really enjoy your channel.
You need to understand it so you can actually do it. I feel down the rabbit hole a long time ago. It got me nowhere. Then I started to make it simple. It was like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. I think you are starting to figure it out. Glad you like the tips. I appreciate the support.
Paul, I wanted to apologise to you for my previous post. With the world in chaos right now, I haven't been thinking straight and have been questioning everything and everyone, and I unfortunately grouped you with those that I thought were intentionally misleading. I am not asking for forgiveness, but wanted to express my deepest apologies. You have helped me in the past, and I will delete my post bc it isn't right (if I can find it). Take care, and God Bless.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul, there is nothing like a sweet 1 iron shot. Last weekend I pulled out old excalibur instead of my driver, big cross wind above the treeline, hit it further and straighter than the rest of the group with high CI drivers. :) It felt amazing. Not to be repeated that day. As always your posts seem to respond to what I dealing with in the game. On a side note, I am really enjoying your books. The portable guides are terrific.
Thank you yes about two months ago I was well maybe three months ago, I was a five handicap I’m currently in eight but due to my wife’s medical issues I’ve only been able to get out and play maybe three times a month instead of 12 times and it’s just hard to figure out a game when you get out there just that much right now. I can’t complain about the equipment I’ve got thousands of dollars invested in my irons and driver and putter. So I guess the shoot 82 or 80 playing three times a month I’m doing fairly well
Absolutely love this! I tried it today and it almost felt like I wasn’t even hitting the ball, it was just in the way of the swing path! Thank you so much! Quick question, would you recommend that slight bend in your left arm during the backswing? I copied it and it worked for me. I used to try to keep it straight.
I bent mine a little at the top which keeps my arms relaxed. Too many people are trying to keep it dead straight and they lock everything up. What is important if it is back to straight at impact.
Hi Paul. I was using your tip on having the feeling you are throwing the club while keeping the butt away from you and it worked out well. Today I did the right knee driving into your left knee drill while keeping arms loose and after five holes I could see the difference and shot an 84;with 7 pars in a row. I can’t find the knee drill now, could you repost it at your convenience. I can’t seem to put both drill together tho… so I want to stick to just one
Glad you tried that tip. This is a big feeling that you need to get used to. That's great that you saw a good result. Makes you want to keep doing it. Not sure which need drill you are referring to. Here are a bunch of legs and hips tips: Trigger: th-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/w-d-xo.html Cheek Trigger: th-cam.com/video/j1mS5Ku8Q10/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/4MSzW7R8Acs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Q0zvcYZPOok/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lUOLMl_zmek/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/w-d-xo.html
Excellent tips......thanks Paul..... just out of curiosity, were most of your important revelations in golf taught to you or did you find them out on your own?
Thanks. 1. When I started to move my head. 2. Neutral grip. 3. Playing a fade not a draw. 4. Turning my arms off not trying to hit the ball. 5. Seeing Iron Byron hit a golf ball. There might be more. Those are the main ones of the top of my head.
I do have to say though it is more difficult, pivoting with driver is easy as well. There is a lot of power that can be created by pushing off the ground with the legs. I think that is where most go wrong, they don't push off with their legs and use their arms. Which shoots it straight over top or into ground for huge divots.
@@paulwilsongolf After looking over my comment, I realized I stated it wrong. I feel a slight pivot, but mostly rotation. I started pivoting forward with my hip to create some momentum early into my backswing. It really sets up my rhythm! Pivot shouldn't even really be used when describing it, I guess that's what I was trying to say.
I just now watched this video after going to the range yesterday. I just got a new driver, but I keep slicing it no matter what tips I use. I just couldn't figure out why I wasn't hitting my driver straight. Then I figured out that I wasn't rolling my wrists around at impact. But I still couldn't roll my wrists even if I tried. So I closed the club face a little and I seemed to hit better that way...but I wrote all the tips said in this video and now I can't wait to take it to the range again! But do you have any tips or drills to practice rolling my wrists at impact on a driver? I don't want to continue to close the club face every time I hit. (Thanks, Paul! And sorry for the long comment!)
The problem is you are rolling at impact. This will never work because you have a nano second to roll it. You need to roll from the top and get it hooking. Once you can hook about 10 in a row you remember this feeling as you start adding lower body to straighten it out. th-cam.com/video/M868QsTlGt4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/p4vASmOzkPg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/N-nGM6yN790/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. I appreciate the support. I use a Taylor M5. 44" Fujikura Evolution II x-flex shaft. I can actually work with anyone, anywhere in the world now with my new app. It is live, video coaching. You can find out more here: bodyswing.com/coachlink People who have used it are loving it because now they know what to work on. This is not swing analysis. This is live video coaching. Take a look.
No joke I’ve dropped 10 shots off my handicap in 3 months following your advice, yesterday out of nowhere I started freezing standing over the ball and couldn’t take the club away. I know it’s in my head because my practice swing seems perfect but have you ever had to help anyone with this or any do you have any advice?
Nice work! Just change the thought. Try taking it back by coiling your shoulders. This way you are not really thinking of the back. Also, you can do a 3 count. On 3 take it back. Just something to clear your mind.
Hi Paul Thanks for this great video. Just a quick question. should I feel Like I’m stretching my arms fully locked out in front of me on all my shots or just driver? Hope this makes sense! Thanks in advance Paul 👍⛳️
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Yes, all shots. At approx 2 feet after impact with irons both arms are fully extended. Watch: th-cam.com/video/jEWe9Gaoqxo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/MTLQWJLRAU0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gMVs6SZNBIQ/w-d-xo.html
Great advice. Thanks. Tried these three things on the course. It took a couple of holes, but it came around by the end. The head movement tip was golden!
After 30 years of people not listening I do get a little frustrated sometimes. Plus, I am passionate about what I do. If this comes off as frustrated then so be it. I get constant emails from people who like how I say it. Glad your still a follower. See it from my perspective and it will become clear why I say things the way I do.
@@paulwilsongolf I totally get what you're saying Paul. I taught skiing for 20 years! Your passion for teaching golf shows through though and you've helped my game immensely!
So you know. The one example I give is doing a 4 hour lesson and telling the person 200 times to do this one position (no joke). This happens a lot. People just want to whack balls and I need them to do moves. Drives you crazy after a while (30 years now). Eventually I get through to them but man getting people to stop thinking of hitting the ball is tough. Glad you're doing well.
I didn't know you were Canadian. I started the golf school at Angus Glen. Grew up in Waterloo. Pretty booked up for the next few months. Maybe look at a fall school. Stay in touch.
Paul, I have tried to tell people about your simplistic but efficient swing and yet they laugh at me, thats OK, I still out drive them by 30 to 40 yards.
Swing is coming along. Slice has been almost eradicated. On occasion it comes back, but I immediately know what i did and correct it. However, I have noticed a hook every now and then (only with the driver though). Not a lot, but more than I want. I use a neutral grip and I set up with the ball just inside my left foot. Is this normal while I'm working on my swing? Great videos and my irons are fantastic now.
Just found a video of yours and it makes sense that I must be attacking ball and coming over the top. Just have to stay focused. You helped me and didn't even have to reply to the above post.
Not at all. The inconsistencies come from hitting with the arms. If so you manipulate the face. If you twist it only a few degrees you will hit it sideways. This is why I am not trying to hit anything. I haven't played in about 6 months. Went out the other day. Missed 2 fairways by yards and I most certainly move my head.
I played a lot baseball/softball so, when I took up golf I moved my head. The only problem is I still have a tendency to sway once in a while instead of turn. Do you have a drill to prevent this or did I miss it? Thanks, Dan.
Paul, thanks again for your video. You have kept reminding me about all of your fundamental principles of golf swing. Enjoying watching your tips. One thing very important for me is the initial hip movement when I start downswing. While my hip moving to the parallel to target line, I can not turn too hard. Otherwise the club face will be open at the impact. Am I correct? thanks
Paul Wilson Golf : What I meant was that it looks like that I can not turn my hip too hard before my swing passed by the point where my hip is parallel to the target line and my lead arm is parallel to the ground. Is it right? Thanks
Those 3 keys are a great way to warm up on the range b4 a round.....start slow then build up to full swing....ive rrally been thinking...swing looser...not harder!.....
Simple 3 keys. Glad you have the right thought. It is way looser than you think. Once you get loose no matter who you are you are loose. So ... turn the body to get more speed never hitting harder with the arms.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I start by thinking, oh yeah this is not going to apply to me. It takes about 30 seconds for me to realise you have yet another point.
Paul, can I use those almost golf balls with my swing caddy 300 and get a true reading like a regular golf ball? Hitting into a net in my garage. Tired of patching holes in the walls. Why is my driver swing speed only 2mph faster than my 8 iron (62)?
I don't think so cause it is watching the ball. If they don't go off the face as fast you won't get the right reading. You driver is no faster cause you are just whacking away at it with your arms. This is locking your wrists. Need way way way looser wrists and turn your body.
@@paulwilsongolf I'm trying my best Paul but it is very discouraging. I was able to mimic your swing once after maybe 500 swings. Not quitting just yet.
in the touch-the-neck tip, I notice your driver shaft has some bounce when it touches the neck but my regular flex has no bounce. Do you have graphite and what is the stiffness of your driver shaft
I notice Tigers head does not go back when watching him in slow motion. On the downswing his head goes down several inches. Is he doing the wrong swing?
i feel when I do this my driver is too short. Im 6 ft 5, should i consider extending length of my driver.. I consistently hit my driver around the 270 range.. When I could be unlocking an extra 30-40 yards
Well you can lengthen it but you have to try different lengths. At some point it will be so long you will actually lose distance. So find the best length for your swing.

"Nose over the rear foot instep" at top of the backswing and staying there through impact really put my swing together for long clubs and irons. Awesome tip!!
Glad it helped! Simple thought.
🎓🎓
Just followed your instructions and I tried at my SIM and I am shooting at least 30 metres further.
You have the clearest explanations and hope you can keep sharing and let every golfers who come upon your video enjoy the game
Very good. Glad you are seeing results. Simple is the key. Too many people making this stuff way too complicated. If it's simple you can try it and see some results (which you did). Now you'll keep working on it. Thanks in advance for telling others. Need all the help I can get to get the word out.
I had been taking lessons for the last couple years. They were originally helping but I had stopped making progress and was actually getting worse. I have completely changed how I have been playing since I found your videos about 4 weeks ago. I have had my most consistent and best rounds of my life, including my best ever today.

Finally put my trust in this method yesterday and hit it 240 without any issue. I nearly jumped out of my pants, I could not believe it! Thank you, Paul! For anyone watching this video... GOLD!
Glad it helped! Everyone wants to hit and hit hard. Sure, you might get a few out of 100. I need you to get 70-80% and they are long and straight with no pain. Just need to understand it. Trust it. Try it for more than 3 balls. If you do, you will start to get it. Once you get it you won't want to stop doing it.
@@paulwilsongolf Agreed and agreed! Once you learn how to practice self control and utilize this method, it's a game changer as you say. Like I said, I was on the tee the other day and got so fed up with hitting shots half the distance I knew I as capable of and so high. I knew I had the right set up with ball position, stance, posture, etc but I was locking up and trying to kill it, thus hitting down on it. I sat there and said, let me swing without killing it. It went double the distance and it hit dead center of the driver club. I then repeated this on the next hole. Thanks Paul!
Hi Paul, I've been following you for 3 months now, everyday, never missing a new tip. It's been as if I had had a revelation. I used to be so tight and overthinking about what to do. My swing was so polluted that I felt constantly frustrated saying to myself : what am I doing here playing golf if I have no fun doing it ? I was fed up with fat shots and inconstancy. Then you came and well, I believe in my potential again. Feel loose is the key, I like the hinge rehinge tip. I'm 61, 14 handicapper and I really believe I can reach single one day. Thank you from France.
Very good. You are on your way. Keep it simple then it will be fun because you can actually fix your own swing and, of course, play good golf.
Paul Wilson Golf Thank you Paul. I'll let you know about my progress! 👍
Bar none the best Golf Coach on TH-cam. Recently retired and playing more golf. On my quest to break 100, 104 at Bonita National yesterday. Thanks Paul! from Naples,FL.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Breaking 100 is very easily done. Just need a few key moves.
- grip and taller set up (not too tall)
- Easier swing instead of trying to hit super hard.
- super loose wrists hinging and rehinging (get this first until you don't slice)
- think coil and uncoil This is what hits the ball not your arms.
Just stick to those things and get good at them. You can watch these tips too:

Paul, another excellent tip! What I do is add your most important tips to my notes . I print that half page of notes and put it with my scorecard on the course. When I feel I am slipping back to bad habits, I reread the appropriate tip and execute it on my next shot or drive. It keeps me from having too many swing thoughts and allows me to focus on what’s important in that specific situation weather it be a drive, iron shot or chip. You have made me a smarter golfer by far. Thank you Mr. Wilson. 🙂
That's a great way to do it so you don't forget.
I have unsubscribed to every other golf instruction channel and I ONLY follow you now. I sent the link to your last 7 videos to my regular golf partner. My one buddy broke 100 for the first time. My other buddy shot 85 for the first time in years (gave away 10 strokes inside 30 yards so please do a pitch shot video soon!) and I had 4 birdies on the front 9 last week for the first time since I was a club pro in 1998! Seriously. Spine tilt. Relaxed arms and grip. The one that helped me most was extending my arms after contact to get the clubface square and getting rid of my outside/in path and chicken wing. Paul you are amazing at getting back to basics and delivering your message.
Makes sense. Even if you were not following me I tell people all the time to follow one teacher so they are not confused. Glad you and your friends are doing well. Thanks for the promo and support. Keep at it.
Paul it’s crazy how much this works!! I went from like a 200 carry to a 250 carry a few times on the range todsy! And my balls were dead straight!! Thabks so much!!
Very good. Hope everyone is reading this. Keep up the good work.
I love your videos. Found them a couple weeks ago and improved 10 strokes. Everyone thinks I have new clubs. I told them to watch your videos, but they don’t believe me. I just smile as I know your video was what made me play better.
Great job! Well thanks for trying to spread the word. Eventually they will follow. Just got to keep making you better. Funny how they always seem to think it's the clubs.
Thanks again Paul for all your help-I transitioned from the stack and tilt (disaster) to your lessons and boy howdy what a difference-Staying behind the ball and loading the right side has helped me immensely
Glad you found me and glad you are doing well.
I was trying the stack n tilt but wasnt having very much success either...seemed I was hitting it shorter than before... I tried committing to it but it seemed to bring back my chicken wing again that I thought I had gotten rid of. Short pitching like 50 yards was better it seemed with SnT but that was about it. Oh sure you hit some good shots but it was a hard road n I think you convinced me Paul when I was looking for tips to fix the old bird wing.... my buddy was out driving me with his 3 wood.... wait till I show him....lol
Paul, thank you for your recent tips. I'm a late bloomer in the game. I'm 62 and started playing in earnst about 5 years ago, with much frustration.Your previous video about "touching your neck with the shaft" has already started to help my tempo problem. I'm planning on adding this drill on the range today. I have a very stiff and concentrated approach to my swing, these "Effortless" drills ate going to be game changers for me. Great explanation of the basis of a golf swing.
Thanks for the support. Glad you are starting to figure it out. Tempo is a big key.
Your videos have made a HUGE difference in my understanding and execution of the swing. Greatly appreciate your easy to implement insights.
Glad to help!
Every video i found from Mr. Paul Wilson just clears up more my mind and swing. Thanks for sharing best tips !! They are worth GOLD !
Glad you like them! Thanks so much. Understanding is half the battle.
The Best teacher in the world! Thank you!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
I set up a practice area with a mirror and a net. I find watching your tips and actually seeing it in the mirror helps enormously. Especially this video, tee shot sets up the rest of the hole. You may feel you are doing these steps correctly but the mirror does not lie....
I like those types of practice stations. Great to work on your swing. Keep at it.
Best lesson ever . It changed my golf game completely. Also my friends start hitting so longgg
Glad you liked it. Glad you told your friends. Let's try to help the golf world play better golf.
Paul... you are my "go to guy" for all of my disappearing bad habits !!! I took the green jacket today at golf... nice loose swings had me getting some long drives and my irons were popping out some longer yardages too. Your ideas work and I will see you one day to get some lessons... THANKS !!!
Very good. "Nice loose swings" perfect wording. I hope others are reading this. Look me up if you come to town or work with me on my app CoachLink: bodyswing.com/coachlink
Paul you're the man. I enjoy all your videos. Simple & relatable tips. Great instruction. You have helped improve my game so much & really made golf enjoyable for me. Thank you!!
Glad to help. Thanks for the support. Keep at it.
Paul Wow !! amazing great information which I never got before.. WOW!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Hi , reached 91mph club head speed after following these tips, more to come i think.
Now going to buy the course from the website, effortless speed, been hitting at the ball for 30years plus !
thanks Paul
👍
Good job. Breaking 90 mph is a great goal. Not sure if you saw this one but if I can do this you can too:

I am not hitting at all. This is a huge piece. So get this then switch to legs and hips for power:

This makes so much sense! You have a rare gift of teaching.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind words.
Thx Paul for the great advice. It really hit home using the "throwing the baseball analogy" to add more power to your drives. Im a 50 yr old that has gained 20 yds on my drives with your tips!
That's great. Just a different power source.
This gentleman's videos are the most common sense driven golf videos on the internet. Most have you doing a million individual moves that are supposed to get you into the positions this video puts you in with simple moves. The more moves you have to remember at set up means the more you will forget and that will paralyze your swing abilities.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Work on too much and you get nothing. Make it complicated you get nothing. Simple is the key for sure. Work on the pieces and you will get it.
I really love your style of teaching. It makes perfect sense & has helped my golf swing. Thanks Paul!
Great to hear! Thanks for the support. Glad you are improving. Keep at it.
Hi Paul, Thanks for all the useful tips. From the above video clip, I finally noticed that the right elbow is pretty close to the body swing. I adjusted my body swing. I feel that my swing becomes more powerful than before.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! What an amazing short video to learn to hit the drive effortlessly. It felt like I was not even hitting the ball. How does that make sense? Once you have tried it what the results that make totally sense. Paul, love your style of teaching. Easy to follow, easy to understand
Glad you liked it and so glad you like my teaching. Thanks. All of my tips explain it in greater detail but start with this one:

Éste profesor enseña cosas muy prácticas y de juego real, y lo que es más importante, sin autolesionarnos! Simplemente el mejor.
Muchas gracias. Te lo agradezco. Si juegas con dolor, lo estás haciendo mal.
Brilliant Video! I suffer from reverse pivot like you did. Though I am quite long, impact is inconsistent and I am sure I could drive it straighter. To move the head makes so much sense though maybe the Great like Hogan and Nicklaus told us something different. Keep teaching us the right way, Paul!
Thanks so much. You need to move your head for sure. Tons of pros move their head. Nicklaus pre-cocked it. Hogan moved it going back then re-centered as the he to the top. McLean measured pro head movement in July 2001 issue of golf digest. Average pro head movement is 3.6 inches. Average amateur is .7 of an inch.
Great tip for checking I'm still doing this. One for the back garden. Thanks
Glad you liked it. Keep doing practice swings at home. This is the best way to learn the swing.
Best teacher on TH-cam. I love Danny Maude as well but this guy is so good
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
@@paulwilsongolf no problem I try to do loose wrists and it’s a bit out of control but getting better and definitely a distance boost
This our of control feeling goes away after a while. Just keep doing it. For sure this will give you so much more distance. Get addicted to these 2 drills. Do them daily:

Thanks once again Paul, awesome tip which I will be trying out tomorrow on the course. Looking forward to your next lesson which I have no doubt will help to improve my game. Really appreciate your expertise.
Very welcome. Thanks for your support.
First time I really watched your tip. To be honest I didnt think your ideas were good. I sure do now. Your concepts are easy and make sense. Cant wait to give them a try. Thanks,
Not sure why you would think that but now we are on the same page. Simple is the key. I know others make it complicated. I just don't do this because I know my students. They usually hit balls 20 mins before they play once a week. Good luck doing complicated moves, positions etc. when you are not practicing. This is why I keep telling people to do daily practice swings. Keep it simple. Pick out one or two things and just start to make a some changes. The main concept being not hitting with the arms but the body. Keep on watching and no joke I will get you playing the best golf of your life in no time.
Excellent tip on driver hinge and re hinge. That’s my Achilles heel.
I swing with arms too much. Your videos are really helpful!
Glad to help. Make sure you watch this one too: th-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/w-d-xo.html
This helped me big time. I struggled with a nasty slice and couldn’t close the face at all the staying behind the ball and loose wrist was a fix.
Glad to help. Keep at it. Tons more wrist hinge tips on the channel.
Love your style Paul. Reminds me of Jack Black in 'School of Rock'. Loosey Goosey Baby! You're the Man!
Thanks so much. Great movie.
Thanks Paul great tips going to play tomorrow going to use em all thanks for all you do
Have fun
Paul tells us what to do and how to do it. What could go wrong.
Thanks Paul. You are my new favorite golf swing teacher.
Thanks so much. I had many questions over the years that no one could answer. So I had to figure this stuff out myself. I'm someone that needs to know "why." Glad you 're with me.
This absolutely worked for me! Thanks Paul
Glad it helped!
Thanks Paul ... your the Best teacher
Thanks so much.
Great swing insights Paul, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great pro I’ve watched many and nearly crippled me lol I’ll be watching you from now on I’ll share to friends when I beat them xx
Thanks so much. Yes, let's get you beating them.
Thanks you explained shy so many times I do the " chicken wing" and top my ball. Great lesson!
Happy to help! Fix that and you take you whole game to a new level.

Really thank you for this tips. Today i tried and works very well.
Glad to hear that!
great tip right on the money Paul
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Great tips! Really work for me! I shared to my friend. But dont know why my P is not that good! Most of time i forgot weight shit before swing.
P as in pitching wedge. You only have one swing so if one club is not working then you are changing it or have a mental issue with that one club. Hit another club and feel the swing of that club then apply it to the P.
I think the toughest part is transitioning the weight from the back to front. If you don't have it timed correctly you will either hit the ground or the ball will go a lot than it should.
This is a big part of the swing. It can be hard because people want to hit. If they want to hit they are not even thinking of using the lower body. Go to switch the thought. Fat shots are so simple to fix: th-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/w-d-xo.html
I’ll be trying this for sure. The hinging is something I think I’m not doing.
Most aren't doing these things. This is a good one.
Great video - Paul can you do a video on thumb pressure and the role of the thumbs on both hands as it pertains to the neutral grip - how too much thumb pressure reacts to the golf swing or what effects it has if the top thumb is in the wrong place etc... thanks.
Thanks. I did a grip pressure video here: th-cam.com/video/GQmsOE7dRXs/w-d-xo.html then you need to watch this tip where I talk about compression of the weak thumb: th-cam.com/video/KZAj2Bk8Roc/w-d-xo.html you will feel this into the through swing too.
Thanks for your golf lessons,had my best round of 77 usually in the late 80s love the way you explain things ,if I lived in America I would shout you a beer
That's great news. Congrats! big step breaking 80. Now don't get too confident. You need to watch this tip and keep it in mind: th-cam.com/video/cNhIyhi136E/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the almost beer.
Love the hinge and rehinge technique. I also see professionals hitting their tee shots without the tee coming out of the ground. It just bends forward a bit. Any tips on teeing up the ball?
Some stay in some come up. Depends on angle of attack. I like half the ball or a little more above the crown of the club. Pretty standard. Too low = not good. Too high = sliding too much.
Got to try this head move. Thanks
For sure. People who do always tell me they feel they have way more power. Just don't move it too much.
I’ve focused so much on the technicalities of the swing and always thought of myself to be more of a technical player but I’ve come to realize I’m more of a feel type of player. Your lessons are a nice blend of both but always returning to the feeling of the swing rather than focusing too much on the technicalities of it. Really enjoy your channel.
You need to understand it so you can actually do it. I feel down the rabbit hole a long time ago. It got me nowhere. Then I started to make it simple. It was like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. I think you are starting to figure it out. Glad you like the tips. I appreciate the support.
I will try this on my 1 iron. Thanks.
Good luck!
Paul,
I wanted to apologise to you for my previous post. With the world in chaos right now, I haven't been thinking straight and have been questioning everything and everyone, and I unfortunately grouped you with those that I thought were intentionally misleading.
I am not asking for forgiveness, but wanted to express my deepest apologies. You have helped me in the past, and I will delete my post bc it isn't right (if I can find it).
Take care, and God Bless.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul, there is nothing like a sweet 1 iron shot. Last weekend I pulled out old excalibur instead of my driver, big cross wind above the treeline, hit it further and straighter than the rest of the group with high CI drivers. :) It felt amazing. Not to be repeated that day. As always your posts seem to respond to what I dealing with in the game.
On a side note, I am really enjoying your books. The portable guides are terrific.
looks interesting , I will try . cheers.
Have fun!
Another phenomenal lesson Paul. Very timely for me, Thanks!! 5:14-5:20 was hilarious 😂 lmao
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I am going to do stand up next.
@@paulwilsongolf haha
Thank you yes about two months ago I was well maybe three months ago, I was a five handicap I’m currently in eight but due to my wife’s medical issues I’ve only been able to get out and play maybe three times a month instead of 12 times and it’s just hard to figure out a game when you get out there just that much right now. I can’t complain about the equipment I’ve got thousands of dollars invested in my irons and driver and putter. So I guess the shoot 82 or 80 playing three times a month I’m doing fairly well
Yep, not bad. If you can't get out make sure you are doing practice swings at home. This way you don't lose it. This is what I do.
Outstanding, thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Tips thank you!
You're so welcome!
Absolutely love this! I tried it today and it almost felt like I wasn’t even hitting the ball, it was just in the way of the swing path! Thank you so much! Quick question, would you recommend that slight bend in your left arm during the backswing? I copied it and it worked for me. I used to try to keep it straight.
I bent mine a little at the top which keeps my arms relaxed. Too many people are trying to keep it dead straight and they lock everything up. What is important if it is back to straight at impact.
Hi Paul. I was using your tip on having the feeling you are throwing the club while keeping the butt away from you and it worked out well. Today I did the right knee driving into your left knee drill while keeping arms loose and after five holes I could see the difference and shot an 84;with 7 pars in a row. I can’t find the knee drill now, could you repost it at your convenience. I can’t seem to put both drill together tho… so I want to stick to just one
Glad you tried that tip. This is a big feeling that you need to get used to. That's great that you saw a good result. Makes you want to keep doing it. Not sure which need drill you are referring to. Here are a bunch of legs and hips tips:

Excellent tips......thanks Paul..... just out of curiosity, were most of your important revelations in golf taught to you or did you find them out on your own?
Thanks.
1. When I started to move my head.
2. Neutral grip.
3. Playing a fade not a draw.
4. Turning my arms off not trying to hit the ball.
5. Seeing Iron Byron hit a golf ball.
There might be more. Those are the main ones of the top of my head.
@@paulwilsongolf .....thank ya sir.
I do have to say though it is more difficult, pivoting with driver is easy as well. There is a lot of power that can be created by pushing off the ground with the legs.
I think that is where most go wrong, they don't push off with their legs and use their arms. Which shoots it straight over top or into ground for huge divots.
This is why: th-cam.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf After looking over my comment, I realized I stated it wrong. I feel a slight pivot, but mostly rotation. I started pivoting forward with my hip to create some momentum early into my backswing. It really sets up my rhythm! Pivot shouldn't even really be used when describing it, I guess that's what I was trying to say.
I think I got it. It's a turn and shift at the same time like you would do in throwing a ball. th-cam.com/video/7z5eUcSwlSk/w-d-xo.html
You're the best Paul
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
I just now watched this video after going to the range yesterday. I just got a new driver, but I keep slicing it no matter what tips I use. I just couldn't figure out why I wasn't hitting my driver straight. Then I figured out that I wasn't rolling my wrists around at impact. But I still couldn't roll my wrists even if I tried. So I closed the club face a little and I seemed to hit better that way...but I wrote all the tips said in this video and now I can't wait to take it to the range again! But do you have any tips or drills to practice rolling my wrists at impact on a driver? I don't want to continue to close the club face every time I hit. (Thanks, Paul! And sorry for the long comment!)
The problem is you are rolling at impact. This will never work because you have a nano second to roll it. You need to roll from the top and get it hooking. Once you can hook about 10 in a row you remember this feeling as you start adding lower body to straighten it out.

You’re welcome 😊
No joke I’ve dropped 10 shots off my handicap in 3 months following your advice, yesterday out of nowhere I started freezing standing over the ball and couldn’t take the club away. I know it’s in my head because my practice swing seems perfect but have you ever had to help anyone with this or any do you have any advice?
Nice work! Just change the thought. Try taking it back by coiling your shoulders. This way you are not really thinking of the back. Also, you can do a 3 count. On 3 take it back. Just something to clear your mind.
Paul Wilson Golf thanks I ll give it a try
Hi Paul, great tip as always. One question, should you move your head as much when using irons?
The longer the club, the wider the stance, the more the head moves.
Hi Paul
Thanks for this great video.
Just a quick question. should I feel
Like I’m stretching my arms fully locked out in front of me on all my shots or just driver? Hope this makes sense!
Thanks in advance Paul 👍⛳️
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Yes, all shots. At approx 2 feet after impact with irons both arms are fully extended. Watch:

Awesome tips!! Shall I move my head when I hit with irons?
Yes. The longer the club the more it moves.
Great video, my question is when do you start hinging in the back swing? Is it gradually, or set at one time? Hope that makes since.
Thanks. Here you go: th-cam.com/video/TFjh9dGkZXA/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/g43FFPGJR5U/w-d-xo.html

Paul Wilson Golf some of the best golf in the country May-Sept, great lakes courses, dunes, northern woods, awesome place.
Great tips
Glad you like them! Thanks so much.
Great advice. Thanks. Tried these three things on the course. It took a couple of holes, but it came around by the end. The head movement tip was golden!
Good stuff! Yes, once I get people to move their head it's a whole new world. So much more power because they can finally load the weight.
God bless you sir!
Thanks for the support.
Great video. Thx
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
Ever heard of thicker golf grips to help prevent hooking?
Yes, they can be too thick and you hit pushes. Why not do the neutral grip? th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html
Paul always seems so frustrated in these videos. But, I love his teachings anyway. Very easy to understand and follow.
After 30 years of people not listening I do get a little frustrated sometimes. Plus, I am passionate about what I do. If this comes off as frustrated then so be it. I get constant emails from people who like how I say it. Glad your still a follower. See it from my perspective and it will become clear why I say things the way I do.
@@paulwilsongolf I totally get what you're saying Paul. I taught skiing for 20 years! Your passion for teaching golf shows through though and you've helped my game immensely!
So you know. The one example I give is doing a 4 hour lesson and telling the person 200 times to do this one position (no joke). This happens a lot. People just want to whack balls and I need them to do moves. Drives you crazy after a while (30 years now). Eventually I get through to them but man getting people to stop thinking of hitting the ball is tough. Glad you're doing well.
@@paulwilsongolf One the Canada/U.S. border opens up again I'd love to come down and do a golf camp with you.
I didn't know you were Canadian. I started the golf school at Angus Glen. Grew up in Waterloo. Pretty booked up for the next few months. Maybe look at a fall school. Stay in touch.
Paul can we npt apply your tips on the driver also with the irons
and fairway woods. Thanks.
For sure. One swing all clubs. It changes on it's own due to the length of the club.
Thanks Paul! Jesus bless!
Thank you for the support.
Excellent !
Many thanks!
Paul, I have tried to tell people about your simplistic but efficient swing and yet they laugh at me, thats OK, I still out drive them by 30 to 40 yards.
Well it's their loss. What do they want complex and technical? Have fun with that. They will come around eventually.
Swing is coming along. Slice has been almost eradicated. On occasion it comes back, but I immediately know what i did and correct it. However, I have noticed a hook every now and then (only with the driver though). Not a lot, but more than I want. I use a neutral grip and I set up with the ball just inside my left foot. Is this normal while I'm working on my swing? Great videos and my irons are fantastic now.
Just found a video of yours and it makes sense that I must be attacking ball and coming over the top. Just have to stay focused. You helped me and didn't even have to reply to the above post.
Yes, sounds like you understand it. Keep at it.
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
I played last week pretty good now I went to driving range and my driver is not good. I had been much straighter but at range it was bad
You need to tell me where it is going. Also, watch: th-cam.com/video/cNhIyhi136E/w-d-xo.html
It works. But sometimes moving head will create inconsistencies?
Not at all. The inconsistencies come from hitting with the arms. If so you manipulate the face. If you twist it only a few degrees you will hit it sideways. This is why I am not trying to hit anything. I haven't played in about 6 months. Went out the other day. Missed 2 fairways by yards and I most certainly move my head.
I played a lot baseball/softball so, when I took up golf I moved my head. The only problem is I still have a tendency to sway once in a while instead of turn. Do you have a drill to prevent this or did I miss it? Thanks, Dan.
Got to focus on the back instep as you coil back to the top. Here: th-cam.com/video/NBgrxz5hSJU/w-d-xo.html
Paul, thanks again for your video. You have kept reminding me about all of your fundamental principles of golf swing. Enjoying watching your tips.
One thing very important for me is the initial hip movement when I start downswing. While my hip moving to the parallel to target line, I can not turn too hard. Otherwise the club face will be open at the impact. Am I correct? thanks
Absolutely. Did you miss the end of this tip: th-cam.com/video/utFggMFjtng/w-d-xo.html
Paul Wilson Golf : What I meant was that it looks like that I can not turn my hip too hard before my swing passed by the point where my hip is parallel to the target line and my lead arm is parallel to the ground. Is it right? Thanks
Makes a lot of difference on my swing! Thanks a lot Paul.
Happy to help
Those 3 keys are a great way to warm up on the range b4 a round.....start slow then build up to full swing....ive rrally been thinking...swing looser...not harder!.....
Simple 3 keys. Glad you have the right thought. It is way looser than you think. Once you get loose no matter who you are you are loose. So ... turn the body to get more speed never hitting harder with the arms.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I start by thinking, oh yeah this is not going to apply to me. It takes about 30 seconds for me to realise you have yet another point.
That's great you are seeing it.
Quick question about the grip. Are you strong to allow more wrist movement?
Nope. Neutral only. Loose wrists.
th-cam.com/video/ZGayCM8bJ6c/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/Hh_uALjl_jk/w-d-xo.html
Paul, can I use those almost golf balls with my swing caddy 300 and get a true reading like a regular golf ball? Hitting into a net in my garage. Tired of patching holes in the walls. Why is my driver swing speed only 2mph faster than my 8 iron (62)?
I don't think so cause it is watching the ball. If they don't go off the face as fast you won't get the right reading. You driver is no faster cause you are just whacking away at it with your arms. This is locking your wrists. Need way way way looser wrists and turn your body.
@@paulwilsongolf I'm trying my best Paul but it is very discouraging. I was able to mimic your swing once after maybe 500 swings. Not quitting just yet.
Where has he been? I'm a fan.
I'm around. Just taking a break. Still answering questions all this time.
in the touch-the-neck tip, I notice your driver shaft has some bounce when it touches the neck but my regular flex has no bounce. Do you have graphite and what is the stiffness of your driver shaft

I notice Tigers head does not go back when watching him in slow motion. On the downswing his head goes down several inches. Is he doing the wrong swing?
Well when he was the best in the world he moved his head 5". Check the July 2001 issue of golf digest.
For some reason I think Steve stricker and Lee Jansen have that arm body move you teach?
Stricker seems a little locked up when he changed his swing so not too sure about him. Janzen yes.
i feel when I do this my driver is too short. Im 6 ft 5, should i consider extending length of my driver.. I consistently hit my driver around the 270 range.. When I could be unlocking an extra 30-40 yards
Well you can lengthen it but you have to try different lengths. At some point it will be so long you will actually lose distance. So find the best length for your swing.
