Paul, your teaching methods are 2nd to none....I have been following your tips and advice for several years now and have enjoyed every round I play for it.....thanks for all you do!
I used to follow Paul and had his lovely swing using my body. Then following an operation and listening to friends advising me, I started hitting with my arms as well as my body. It’s taken me to come back to watch Paul to realise where I went wrong for 6 months. Paul’s way of teaching is the best I’ve ever seen and the proof is in the pudding so to speak. My swing is back and I thank him completely.
I bomb the ball with this feeling almost every shot. Wilson,you’re the best golf instructor I ever seen.You describe my swing and problems more than anybody I ever seen. Thanks!
Out of 3 golf teachers, Dan Grieve's chipping lesson with Rick Shiels, Golf Sidekick's rule of 12 lesson, or Paul's videos; it is Paul's videos that have benefited me the most. Admittedly, as a beginner, it does get confusing on which teacher's techniques or ways are best. They all seem different.
I purchased Paul's instruction package last winter. I did all the drills religiously for the months leading up to the golf season. I found the drills to be quite simple and effortless. The only hard part was getting used to the neutral grip. Felt awful at first. By the time the season started I thought I was ready. Well it didn't come immediately. As soon as that golf ball was in front of me, all those instincts came back. Even at the range, I had to fight the urge to do my normal swing. So I had to concentrate on all the major things in this new golf swing. And while I did hit quite a few good ones, I also hit a lot of stinkers. I was tempted to just go back to my old swing, but the good ones I hit were straight and much much longer than my old swing. I was hitting drives 240-250 where my old swing struggled to get to 200. So I knew it worked, I just had to let it become natural, rather than forcing myself. So the first half of my season was a struggle at times, but my scores were still ok. The last half of my season has been a complete breakthrough. I no longer have to think about anything. The grip now feels natural, I am coiling and recoiling, hinging and rehinging, touching the knees and touching the neck automatically, so I can just concentrate on striking the ball. My scores over the past few weeks are all better than my best score ever going into this season. My accuracy has never been better, and I am hitting a full club longer than before. The game has never been more fun for me. Thanks Paul
Thank you for the support and telling your story. So glad you are doing well. The grip can be tricky for some. In those cases I remind them that your hands are not hands and wrists are not wrists. This is a hinging mechanism. No matter how bad it feels this will allow your wrists to hinge and rehinge. The noticeable difference in driver distance would be great incentive to keep going which you did. Did you do daily practice swings? This is the fastest way to get it. Hope so. If not, then start doing them. We don't want you losing it. Also, keep doing them over the winter. We need you starting next season out where you left off if not better.
First, thank you Paul, for all you videos. You are such a blessing to us. One time in my life, I hit a drive 50 yards further than ever before. It came on a par 5 and I distinctly experienced my gut, my core, almost WRENCHINGhing through the ball. It was something I never planned or felt before....or since. I was playing with a terrific golfer who was bombing every drive way past mine. That had something to do with it too. It only happened once. A bolt from the blue. It wasn't easy though......I used a part of the body I'd never used or even planned to use!! I am assuming you would want me to practice aggressively turning my core through the swing?
Playing with better golfers definitely rubs off on people. Loose arms and fire the lower body. This turns your core and arms go along for the ride. Keep doing this over and over and in no time you will do it all the time.
This is too good Paul. Just practicing at home at night around 100 times getting that feeling of heavy club throwing with full body rotation starting ground upwards. I have a tendency to start hitting with arms again after hitting 2-3 arms less easy shots. Good thing is that I realise and switch off the arms and it becomes better. I need to do this arms switching off for ever. Let me try 100 practice swings at night before sleeping. Thanks Paul.
Glad you like this one. This alone could take someone from zero to hero. Just takes a little work. 100 per day would be great. Within no time you will master the feelings and do it every time. You should start seeing some serous results after this. Great job.
…I tried on the range, the driver club shaft resting on my shoulders on the backswing..and combined it with the knowledge of coming down feeling heavy…and just smoked the ball over and over…can’t wait to take to the course…
So glad you tired it. Doesn't even take that long to then hit it better than ever. As you get used to it just keep it a little off the neck. Great job.
I do this when I lose my tempo. It definitely helps me fire with my hips and leg’s first. I’m playing today…3p.m. At elk horn golf course in Stockton ca. I’m taking your course step by step. Thank You Paul…thank you very much…so par so good.
Very good. We all swing hard sometimes so if this can get you back then keep doing it. Have fun out there. Did you watch my putting tip? th-cam.com/video/atYm04-YLkA/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf yea I did… that will take time to trust I tried it on the course no success. Golf has a way of letting us know We’re Humans. I sucked Yesterday. I did win the front 9. Sill a Very sad score. Most times after 9 holes we team up for a best ball on the back 9.
Very good. That's what I want to hear. I would have thought a whole bunch of people would have posted this in the comments as well. Few did which tells me few will do it. Oh well, I am doing my part. I just need people to do theirs.
I hit a drive around 350 this year just swinging easy trying to place the ball on the right side of the fairway, reached a 540 yard par 5 that I never reach in 2 due to a big dogleg. Been swinging hard to try and do that again, and keep pulling a hook around 280 yards to the worst part of the fairway. Great tip!
The hook is telling you are hitting with arms. Need to check your grip and make it more neutral then turn the arms off completely when you come down. If so you will hit it dead straight.
Paul I’m glad that we share a common level of determination. I’m always swinging at home, especially during lunch time (I work in IT at home) I go out and practice chipping / swinging in the backyard. 😂
Got to do the work for sure. I know people aren't going to make to the range daily but there is no excuse for not doing practice swings at home. This is the fastest way to get it. Glad you see it.
Hey coach hope all is well The effortless swing has transformed me now I am walking nine holes my legs are getting much stronger now of course with a little Meds and it slows me down more time to think about the shot and controlling the ball it's going well once I started taking your lessons I realized I was beating myself up. And to be honest with you I was out one day playing by myself just fooling around 😮and I say to myself let me try the swing that Mr. Wilson is talking about when I finally hit one on a long par 4 down the middle and I was left with a 90 yard shot to the green my eyes were open it felt weird not all are like that but that day was a game changer for me more straighter shots and better scores for me 😊 Even now I use your chipping ratio video for when I'm chipping and the results are indeed awesome 😎 even when my swing is off I know how to fix it I go to my wrists. My wrist has gotten stronger as well . Thanks for all you do 😊😊
Glad you are getting back into it. Glad you saw that you can do it. It is weird at first (which I was trying to stress in this tip) but once you see it you should be all over wanting it again and again. Keep at it.
@@paulwilsongolf I got to tell you this when I'm playing when I have a tough shot especially when I have to do a ratio I ask myself what will what would Paul Wilson do And the guys I play with look at me like I'm crazy 🤪 especially when they see the results Thanks again 🙏
Paul this is such a good video - between this and your piece about the loose wrists it’s been a total game changer immediately for me.l, particularly off the tees with my irons. Need to get this to work as well on my driver slice!
Glad you liked it. Thanks. So glad you are improving. You are slicing because you are hitting it hard with your arms. When you do you send it over the top (wrong direction) and tighten your wrists which hold the face open (wrong spin). Here is how to fix it. Fix it in 2 steps: Wrists = Spin (Step 1) th-cam.com/video/p4vASmOzkPg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/M868QsTlGt4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/yHEv7G9Z5-0/w-d-xo.html Body = Direction (Step 2) th-cam.com/video/FV8uSZ16Bys/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/w-d-xo.html (secret tip)
I am thrilled that you never deviate from the one principle that all golfers must eventually conquer if they are ever going to be good, i.e., no hands and arms in the swing. Many of the other on-line instructors never, or hardly ever, even mention that you shouldn't use your arms to swing the club. In fact I see some that are coming close to encouraging a pull with the arms. I first found your videos about 10 years ago when I was 75 (and a very bad golfer). Now, because of your instruction, I'm 85 and have shot my age or better 203 times. I feel like the $100 I paid you ten years ago should have been $1,000 (but please don't get any ideas!). I have encouraged so many golfers to start watching your videos, including one yesterday who immediately got on his phone and subscribed. So, one golfer at a time!
I am going to be saying it over and over again ... Turn the arms off. There seems to be so many people just whacking away at it. Yes, so few of us out there trying to get people to turn the arms off. The new trend is to really bend over, strong grip, hold off the release for clubhead control and consistency. Hmmm, watching the Open Championship and keep seeing a lot of missed fairways and greens as well as terrible distance control. Until someone dominates with that swing (which they never will) I will keep doing what I do. Oh yeah, wait until the injuries start piling up with that swing. I would say Morikawa is one already. I just heard DJ is having some issues too. There will be more. That tilt is not good for your body.
Thanks Paul. Grateful to you for your effortless concept. Really it worked. Distance is really increased. Problem is to keep the ball in desired straight line. Any advice from your side to get consistency in keeping the ball in straight line.
Already answered. You could watch these too: th-cam.com/video/o8ACrKPrOyk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/0gOuKQpUl54/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/3TIwJsRLWxA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2QFBw8XGdpI/w-d-xo.html
I will give this method a go. Funny you say that I should feel heaviness in my club. I often have the swing thought that my club is weighted and I’m being pulled by the club. Unfortunately this thought usually comes me when I’m on the freeway or eating dinner. Thank you for the instruction, I’ll follow up.
Very good. I just need people to try something different. You know the feeling so give a 1 solid week. No hitting golf balls. Just do this daily and you will see the result.
Paul. Thanks. So this why when I try to lay up to a ditch and swing easier, the ball travels 20 yards further than it should with that club…and ends up in the ditch! Perhaps I should try thinking similarly with my approach shots and say to myself “I want to leave this ball short of the green” so I’ll swing easier and make better contact with more distance.
Well after you keep doing this and keep hitting longer and better than ever you will figure out the distances. This is why in my first book I mention it will take you 10 rounds to get used to your new distances. Good problem to have.
I tore the pronator teres in my right forearm (right handed golfer) during a round last month because I swing with my arms. After eight weeks of rehab, I’m about to start playing again. I have to to completely rethink the way I swing a golf club. This video was very timely.
Yikes! Exactly the person I needed to see this. Just follow my tips. Been teaching this now since 1991 and it's simple. I would be starting out with easy practice swings. You want to make the changes with no ball then slowly start to add it back in. In not way do you want to be tempted to hit at that ball. I would watch this one too: th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html
Very good. Same swing. Too many people try to hit down with irons. This gets them steep and hitting with the arms. Watch: th-cam.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/w-d-xo.html
I’m struggling with the exact swing dynamics you are talking about, too much arms and not enough body turn. I am going to take this drill to heart and see if it will get my hips turning and moving toward the target. Thanks for the lesson
Speaking of this tip, I was slicing and pull hooking my driver for a couple months and couldn't seem to fix it. Until yesterday, I just wanted to see my grip pressure to the point where the club seem like it will fall out of my hands, and to my surprise, I hit it straighter with the same distance as before. I need to incorporate this tip all the time. My iron play needs to improve now....
Another thought, particularly w the driver, is to make sure your right arm is under your left. If you were to try to throw your driver down the fairway or use an ax to hit a tree waist high, you’ve got to have your right elbow parallel to the ground or at least have that feeling at impact.
That is a thought you can have too to get the feel. If you arms are turned off and you use your body this should be happening without thinking about it.
Paul, your videos have really helped me. I just have one question (and maybe you have mentioned it already) why do you recommend teeing up when practicing irons?
Hello Paul, I am struggling a lot hitting with a hybrid. I have seen lot of your videos on irons and drivers and it has massively improved my overall game. Can you also please post some tips about hitting a hybrid?
I shot 73 at Colony West from the back tees many years ago in Tamarac, FL. About 7150 yards. It had a rating of 75.1 and a slope of 141!! A beast of a challenge. In Florida the ball doesn't fly as far because you're at sea level and the air is thick with humidity. In the spring the winds are crazy. If you can score in Florida, you can play just about any where. I shot a lot rounds in the 80s there and countless rounds in the 90s. I remember on several occasions of swinging and NEVER felt the club even make contact with the ball. It was like a hot knife through butter. The clubhead made dead center perfect contact with the ball. It really was EFFORTLESS! I was never long off the tee, but I was accurate and I focused on my short game a lot; Pitching, Chipping, Bunker Shots and Putting. I beat a lot of people, and it almost always happened around the greens. I've had one "hole in one", 2 or 3 eagles, holing out from the fairway.
Paul - do you think doing 25/100 daily practice swings that you suggest in this video with a weighted club and /or something like the Orange Whip would be good to do or just stick to using ones driver
I don't like people swinging heavy training aids. If so, your clubs feel light which is the opposite to how they should feel. Try to find something light or flip your club upside down. Do a bunch of swings then flip it the right way and you will feel the weight of the club which is what you should be feelig.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul for your feedback - I did this yesterday on the course and hit some effortless , beautiful shots - feeling the weight of the club , feeling like I was throwing the club - eventually though it felt like I was swinging almost too easy and just didn’t seem to have any pop or umph through the ball - should I be thinking of firing my hips/ legs harder and faster with the heavy / throwing the club feeling to give me some power through the shot?
Im already getting use to the feel you describe here. Thanks Paul. Im curious if this drill might help prevent me from coming out of my shot too early. That seems to be my nemesis right now.
Yes, you come out of it from hitting with the arms. If you turn them off you are not trying to hit anything. If you are not trying to hit anything why would you look? Work on this: th-cam.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/w-d-xo.html
Oh man that is what I will be committing to each night in my practice swings. Thanks coach. Please know you are deeply appreciated by many who love this game.
Paul, I've been working on this for 3 weeks along with powerless arms drills to take my arms out of it. I wanted to let you know the improvements have been dramatic. I am so grateful for your help.I have just ordered Roger Frederick's program from you to help get my 71 year old body a bit more flexible.
So glad you are doing well. So much more fun when you are hitting great shots and knowing you are on track. Roger's stuff is great. Just pick out a few stretches and try to do them regularly. I don't think anyone does them all. Keep up the good work.
Paul I have been watching your videos for sometime now and have tried to apply this and haven't had any success. I have an arm swinger for so long it seems impossible to stop. I'm a 4 handicap and probably doing that on athleticism. Never am I consistent. I play at least twice a week and at the range 1 or 2 days. When I think I got it, I don't. Any other suggestions? Thanks
To take the arms out you need to master this drill. I call it taming the wild stallion (you): th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html No way you can use your arms and do that. Any pro in the world would be able to do this on ball 1. In now 33 years not one student has ever done it on ball one. This is how much people want to hit with the arms. Do that first and get back to me.
Paul I've been following you for years and have the body swing. My body is very stiff so I've adapted to what I can do ie not getting to the touch the head position for example. t really hurts my trail shoulder to go that far.. I am trying to understand the release in your method. I am kind of stuck in that regard in that I worry a roll release is going to be very hard to time even though it feels more natural so have been using a throw release with my right. I'm at the point now were my left arms feels like it rotates while my right arm is more throw. Is that what I should be feeling?
I have delt with this before. You need to get it to touch the shoulder or neck. It needs to touch so you can repeat it exactly the same every time. If you don't touch somewhere over there you will get shorter and shorter and lose power. So left shoulder/neck area without hurting yourself. Anything to get it rolling is fine. Roll and hook it. This is the release working or step 1. Once you get that you add body (step 2) to straighten it out.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks. I have a chopped off follow through a la Fleetwood that still gets to the reverse L position and my hands to my shoulder so I do have a check point. Glad to know I am on the right track.
You encourage swinging out to 1 o’clock but try to get extension in front? I try to make sure my right arm stays under my left arm to get an in to out and not over the top swing. Noticed though, some are now straight right by just a tad because of the 1 o’clock swing thought. Been watching your videos awhile and had, not one, but two 320 drives in same round. Just gotta get it more consistent because neither was on the 285 yard par 4 which woulda been nice😂
Never said to swing to 1 o'clock in this tip. Just stretch it out. That is what I want you to do. If so, your club will point at the target. So use that as a guide not 1 o'clock. Nice 320's. Says you can do it for sure. If you turn your arms off your body would tilt back in the downswing. If so, you wouldn't be coming over the top. th-cam.com/video/m8FxSZSmKEw/w-d-xo.html (secret tip) th-cam.com/video/AUxlKHMMHtc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/AUxlKHMMHtc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/p6YWiBPnQqI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lpAugDvakfU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/D1KL7G8Vmro/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2cPM_FSoHNM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OHSciOQ15AE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mp8MriLZ4sg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/64xUMTcrn2I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/cogyf6UjH7U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OyxkbDRYwVw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tip. Just watched it. Off to the range to give it a go. As you probably know, (or maybe you don't) I bought your complete video course a few moths back. Just couldn't get it to work for me. Right before impact it felt like I was flipping my right wrist (I'm a right-handed golfer) The tip you linked mentions your arms are a string and the golf club is the weight. Intellectually I get it. In practice, not so much. I'm off to the range. I really want to master the technique you are teaching.@@paulwilsongolf
When I get people saying that I ask them if they worked on the positions I teach. Keep in mind I have taught for many years and 99% of them have my stuff. Few are actually doing it as I say to do it. Some not even close. To the the point I wonder if they even read the book and worked on the lessons. Flipping is not firing your body. It is that simple. Fire the body and it moves the release point ahead of the ball. You get this by thinking of moving to the follow through positions I teach starting with the lower body. Point B. So you go from Point A to Point B. If you do the position you look like a pro. Pros hit it great. So the person would hit it great if they looked like the pro. When I was learning it I was working on all positions throughout my swing. This got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. So keep it simple and you will get it too. Trying to hold off a flip is using your arms which is totally unnecessary. Keep in mind when people can't do it in reality they are trying to hit their best shots so they go right back to their other swing that doesn't work. You need to do something new and different. You aren't good at it at first so you can't expect perfect shots. You are looking for some mind blowing shots. As you keep doing it you get used to it then you get the mind blowing shots all of the time. So do daily practice swings at home working on the positions. Reduce the balls. Make the positions perfect realizing that if you do, you will look like a pro as you swing. If so, you get the right fundamentals. It is that simple. Last step is to turn your arms off completely in the downswing. Keep me posted. If you want me to see if post a video of your swing and I will check it. I guarantee you are not doing the position(s) as I show.
Thank you for the explanation Paul. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. I will follow your instructions above and once I think I'm doing it correctly I'll send you a video of my swing. I did go to the range today with just a 7 iron and a driver. I did 10 knee high swings with the driver flipped upside down then 30 knee high swings with the driver held correctly trying to feel the weight of the club. After those warm-ups, I put that club down and grabbed my 7 iron and hit a bucket of balls with the only goal of "touching my legs" and "touching my head." I did have more success this time around. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for your reply!@@paulwilsongolf
Well, yes. Deep rough you are chopping it out off the back foot getting it back in play. If you can actually advance it half decently you would be doing your real swing. Bunkers. I do need you to do your real swing. Did you not see my bunker lesson? Here you go: th-cam.com/video/MK9MyN3mdt8/w-d-xo.html
Paul i think i found one of my big issues with tightness and it was not allowing any radial deviation in lead hand in transition. That part of my wrist was locked up too. When it's loose you can feel and see for lack of a better term ' lag' in the club. Do you have a video on this? Maybe similar to when you talk about feeling that pressure in the wrist at the top that we would not be used to?
Here are my lag tips: Try this first: th-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/w-d-xo.html Drill: th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html Lag Secret: th-cam.com/video/KZAj2Bk8Roc/w-d-xo.html Drill 1: th-cam.com/video/Zp8sYbLUTOU/w-d-xo.html Drill 2: th-cam.com/video/K-9tIkG3Jpc/w-d-xo.html Drill 3:th-cam.com/video/1lj7uao01KE/w-d-xo.html Then check your grip too: th-cam.com/video/lWEhXEGSgRE/w-d-xo.html
I did say people are not good at it. This is why you need to repeat it long enough that you get used to the new feeling. Daily practice swings is the way to get it.
If you feel your arms are turned off you need to fire the lower body way way way way way way faster. You should be all over working on this by now. Do this drill daily: th-cam.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/THm6SktFifk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/x1NehGi8tyI/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. If I move my hips quicker will my arms begin to release more? Because I have a tendency to hold on through impact even though I am not trying to (it feels like I am not doing anything with my arms but they are still not releasing through impact).
Sounds to my like you speed up body and arms. You need to work on only speeding up the body. It is tricky. Kids do this because they have no arm strength so you need to think like that. Fire only the lower while keeping the arms like Jello. Just do swings in the air. This one would be good: th-cam.com/video/hJeAcEYbvhM/w-d-xo.html and this drill constantly until you are good at it: th-cam.com/video/M58vf3LMwR0/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf thank you Paul but won't quicker hips cause me to spin out and cause me to come over the top? I will still try this today and report back on the results.
I talk about that in this tip: th-cam.com/video/M58vf3LMwR0/w-d-xo.html If you are spinning out you are going way to fast so slow down and do it right. As for coming over the top you would have to shift to do that. If you turned you would not be shifting. I explain that in the tip above. Also, do the drill in this tip: th-cam.com/video/7z5eUcSwlSk/w-d-xo.html
Orange whip is fine but it will never fix your swing. It's heavy. When you swing your club they feel light. This is the wrong feeling. You should be swinging a light club then yours will feel heavy.
Thanks. You can send it to our pro shop. Again, let me know that you sent it. I am on break now so once I do out again I will grab it. I would assume your name is Mark as in your profile?
Very good. Just like I said. Everyone has hit this one shot that went 30-50 yards longer. Amazing to me that people aren't all over trying to do that all the time. Well, I will just keep doing what I do and hopefully they will find me.
I hit a 353 yard drive before and it felt effortless. My pairing partners were like, (expletive) how’d you do that? And I would tell them, “I do not know.” Lol.
@@paulwilsongolf that drive I hit felt relaxing too, ever since that drive, I’ve been looser in my swing. My friends are like, “how do you hit the ball so far with ease?” I told them idk, but I just told you my secret lol.
I'm bot going to lie. This is very hard for me to grasp. But for the next week, after work, I'll do 50 hip high effortless swings. And after 7 days ill see how it goes on the range.
Yes, you need to work on a few moves and definitely stop hitting with the arms. Follow this one. It's a simple want to get a decent swing: th-cam.com/video/gTLvRsjwfIM/w-d-xo.html

Yeah, never listen to friends. Lesson learned. Glad you got it back and will never do that again.
Best video on the swing I may have ever seen in over 20 years of searching. Such great instruction
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Keep at it.
I bomb the ball with this feeling almost every shot. Wilson,you’re the best golf instructor I ever seen.You describe my swing and problems more than anybody I ever seen. Thanks!
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support. So glad you are doing it and doing it well. Great feeling.
Out of 3 golf teachers, Dan Grieve's chipping lesson with Rick Shiels, Golf Sidekick's rule of 12 lesson, or Paul's videos; it is Paul's videos that have benefited me the most. Admittedly, as a beginner, it does get confusing on which teacher's techniques or ways are best. They all seem different.
Golf sidekick is my favourite for mentality on the golf course, Paul is great for advice on harnessing your swing and how to use your body😁

I was tempted to just go back to my old swing, but the good ones I hit were straight and much much longer than my old swing. I was hitting drives 240-250 where my old swing struggled to get to 200. So I knew it worked, I just had to let it become natural, rather than forcing myself. So the first half of my season was a struggle at times, but my scores were still ok. The last half of my season has been a complete breakthrough. I no longer have to think about anything. The grip now feels natural, I am coiling and recoiling, hinging and rehinging, touching the knees and touching the neck automatically, so I can just concentrate on striking the ball. My scores over the past few weeks are all better than my best score ever going into this season. My accuracy has never been better, and I am hitting a full club longer than before. The game has never been more fun for me. Thanks Paul
Thank you for the support and telling your story. So glad you are doing well. The grip can be tricky for some. In those cases I remind them that your hands are not hands and wrists are not wrists. This is a hinging mechanism. No matter how bad it feels this will allow your wrists to hinge and rehinge. The noticeable difference in driver distance would be great incentive to keep going which you did. Did you do daily practice swings? This is the fastest way to get it. Hope so. If not, then start doing them. We don't want you losing it. Also, keep doing them over the winter. We need you starting next season out where you left off if not better.
First, thank you Paul, for all you videos. You are such a blessing to us. One time in my life, I hit a drive 50 yards further than ever before. It came on a par 5 and I distinctly experienced my gut, my core, almost WRENCHINGhing through the ball. It was something I never planned or felt before....or since. I was playing with a terrific golfer who was bombing every drive way past mine. That had something to do with it too. It only happened once. A bolt from the blue. It wasn't easy though......I used a part of the body I'd never used or even planned to use!! I am assuming you would want me to practice aggressively turning my core through the swing?
Playing with better golfers definitely rubs off on people. Loose arms and fire the lower body. This turns your core and arms go along for the ride. Keep doing this over and over and in no time you will do it all the time.
Took these ideas to the range last night and was hitting it better than ever. Everett list 275 yard drives well over 100 miles an hour. So much fun.
Very good. So much more fun when you are getting some decent distance. Keep at it.
This is too good Paul. Just practicing at home at night around 100 times getting that feeling of heavy club throwing with full body rotation starting ground upwards. I have a tendency to start hitting with arms again after hitting 2-3 arms less easy shots. Good thing is that I realise and switch off the arms and it becomes better. I need to do this arms switching off for ever. Let me try 100 practice swings at night before sleeping. Thanks Paul.
Glad you like this one. This alone could take someone from zero to hero. Just takes a little work. 100 per day would be great. Within no time you will master the feelings and do it every time. You should start seeing some serous results after this. Great job.
…I tried on the range, the driver club shaft resting on my shoulders on the backswing..and combined it with the knowledge of coming down feeling heavy…and just smoked the ball over and over…can’t wait to take to the course…
So glad you tired it. Doesn't even take that long to then hit it better than ever. As you get used to it just keep it a little off the neck. Great job.
I do this when I lose my tempo.
It definitely helps me fire with my hips and leg’s first.
I’m playing today…3p.m. At elk horn golf course in Stockton ca.
I’m taking your course step by step.
Thank You Paul…thank you very much…so par so good.
Very good. We all swing hard sometimes so if this can get you back then keep doing it. Have fun out there. Did you watch my putting tip?
th-cam.com/video/atYm04-YLkA/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf yea I did… that will take time to trust I tried it on the course no success.
Golf has a way of letting us know We’re Humans.
I sucked Yesterday.
I did win the front 9.
Sill a Very sad score.
Most times after 9 holes we team up for a best ball on the back 9.
Great lesson. Will practice this every day for a week and see the results. Thxs
Very good. That's what I want to hear. I would have thought a whole bunch of people would have posted this in the comments as well. Few did which tells me few will do it. Oh well, I am doing my part. I just need people to do theirs.
I hit a drive around 350 this year just swinging easy trying to place the ball on the right side of the fairway, reached a 540 yard par 5 that I never reach in 2 due to a big dogleg. Been swinging hard to try and do that again, and keep pulling a hook around 280 yards to the worst part of the fairway. Great tip!
The hook is telling you are hitting with arms. Need to check your grip and make it more neutral then turn the arms off completely when you come down. If so you will hit it dead straight.
Paul I’m glad that we share a common level of determination. I’m always swinging at home, especially during lunch time (I work in IT at home) I go out and practice chipping / swinging in the backyard. 😂
Got to do the work for sure. I know people aren't going to make to the range daily but there is no excuse for not doing practice swings at home. This is the fastest way to get it. Glad you see it.
Hey coach hope all is well
The effortless swing has transformed me now I am walking nine holes my legs are getting much stronger now of course with a little Meds and it slows me down more time to think about the shot and controlling the ball it's going well once I started taking your lessons I realized I was beating myself up.
And to be honest with you I was out one day playing by myself just fooling around 😮and I say to myself let me try the swing that Mr. Wilson is talking about when I finally hit one on a long par 4 down the middle and I was left with a 90 yard shot to the green my eyes were open it felt weird not all are like that but that day was a game changer for me more straighter shots and better scores for me 😊
Even now I use your chipping ratio video for when I'm chipping and the results are indeed awesome 😎 even when my swing is off I know how to fix it I go to my wrists. My wrist has gotten stronger as well . Thanks for all you do 😊😊
Glad you are getting back into it. Glad you saw that you can do it. It is weird at first (which I was trying to stress in this tip) but once you see it you should be all over wanting it again and again. Keep at it.
@@paulwilsongolf
I got to tell you this when I'm playing when I have a tough shot especially when I have to do a ratio I ask myself what will what would Paul Wilson do
And the guys I play with look at me like I'm crazy 🤪 especially when they see the results
Thanks again 🙏
You're a genius Paul! I am not at 280 to 300 but at 63 I am 220-230 and this is early days! My issue is I am struggling with irons...
Glad you like it. Thanks for the support. Here you go: th-cam.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/w-d-xo.html
I have found that Paul's method helps me in not coming over the top. Great stuff. Effortless does require effort though! lol
Very good. That is one of the advantages for sure.
Paul this is such a good video - between this and your piece about the loose wrists it’s been a total game changer immediately for me.l, particularly off the tees with my irons. Need to get this to work as well on my driver slice!
Glad you liked it. Thanks. So glad you are improving.
You are slicing because you are hitting it hard with your arms. When you do you send it over the top (wrong direction) and tighten your wrists which hold the face open (wrong spin). Here is how to fix it. Fix it in 2 steps:
Wrists = Spin (Step 1)

I am thrilled that you never deviate from the one principle that all golfers must eventually conquer if they are ever going to be good, i.e., no hands and arms in the swing. Many of the other on-line instructors never, or hardly ever, even mention that you shouldn't use your arms to swing the club. In fact I see some that are coming close to encouraging a pull with the arms. I first found your videos about 10 years ago when I was 75 (and a very bad golfer). Now, because of your instruction, I'm 85 and have shot my age or better 203 times. I feel like the $100 I paid you ten years ago should have been $1,000 (but please don't get any ideas!). I have encouraged so many golfers to start watching your videos, including one yesterday who immediately got on his phone and subscribed. So, one golfer at a time!
I am going to be saying it over and over again ... Turn the arms off. There seems to be so many people just whacking away at it. Yes, so few of us out there trying to get people to turn the arms off. The new trend is to really bend over, strong grip, hold off the release for clubhead control and consistency. Hmmm, watching the Open Championship and keep seeing a lot of missed fairways and greens as well as terrible distance control. Until someone dominates with that swing (which they never will) I will keep doing what I do. Oh yeah, wait until the injuries start piling up with that swing. I would say Morikawa is one already. I just heard DJ is having some issues too. There will be more. That tilt is not good for your body.
Thanks Paul. Grateful to you for your effortless concept. Really it worked. Distance is really increased. Problem is to keep the ball in desired straight line. Any advice from your side to get consistency in keeping the ball in straight line.
Already answered. You could watch these too:

I will give this method a go. Funny you say that I should feel heaviness in my club. I often have the swing thought that my club is weighted and I’m being pulled by the club. Unfortunately this thought usually comes me when I’m on the freeway or eating dinner. Thank you for the instruction, I’ll follow up.
Very good. I just need people to try something different. You know the feeling so give a 1 solid week. No hitting golf balls. Just do this daily and you will see the result.
Paul. Thanks. So this why when I try to lay up to a ditch and swing easier, the ball travels 20 yards further than it should with that club…and ends up in the ditch!
Perhaps I should try thinking similarly with my approach shots and say to myself “I want to leave this ball short of the green” so I’ll swing easier and make better contact with more distance.
Well after you keep doing this and keep hitting longer and better than ever you will figure out the distances. This is why in my first book I mention it will take you 10 rounds to get used to your new distances. Good problem to have.
My 6 y old son plays with us now and is now doing 80 yd irons🤔, we love you Paul😘
Very good. He's going to be a great player in the future. Keep me posted.
I tore the pronator teres in my right forearm (right handed golfer) during a round last month because I swing with my arms. After eight weeks of rehab, I’m about to start playing again. I have to to completely rethink the way I swing a golf club. This video was very timely.
Yikes! Exactly the person I needed to see this. Just follow my tips. Been teaching this now since 1991 and it's simple. I would be starting out with easy practice swings. You want to make the changes with no ball then slowly start to add it back in. In not way do you want to be tempted to hit at that ball. I would watch this one too:
th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html
I've got the driver down from practicing the about the ground drill like my baseball swing. Need to get it done on the irons and fareway woods.
Very good. Same swing. Too many people try to hit down with irons. This gets them steep and hitting with the arms. Watch:
th-cam.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/w-d-xo.html
Perfect for my stage of getting it embedded. About 50% of shots so far. Bit more work. Great tips and reinforcement.
Glad you have been working on it. Keep at it.
I’m struggling with the exact swing dynamics you are talking about, too much arms and not enough body turn. I am going to take this drill to heart and see if it will get my hips turning and moving toward the target. Thanks for the lesson
Very good. Hopefully you are still doing it. 1 week no hitting golf balls.
"Arms turned off " is the crux of this video.😊. It's really great motivation for me , feel like take a leave and practice .🎉 Thank you
It is. Just do the drill in the tip for 1 week without hitting any balls. It will be life changing.
Speaking of this tip, I was slicing and pull hooking my driver for a couple months and couldn't seem to fix it. Until yesterday, I just wanted to see my grip pressure to the point where the club seem like it will fall out of my hands, and to my surprise, I hit it straighter with the same distance as before. I need to incorporate this tip all the time. My iron play needs to improve now....
Very good. Just had to loosen you up. Keep this feeling. Watch this for irons: th-cam.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/w-d-xo.html
Another thought, particularly w the driver, is to make sure your right arm is under your left. If you were to try to throw your driver down the fairway or use an ax to hit a tree waist high, you’ve got to have your right elbow parallel to the ground or at least have that feeling at impact.
That is a thought you can have too to get the feel. If you arms are turned off and you use your body this should be happening without thinking about it.
Paul, your videos have really helped me. I just have one question (and maybe you have mentioned it already) why do you recommend teeing up when practicing irons?
Great to hear. I did a tip on this here:
th-cam.com/video/mbylJxe1tBk/w-d-xo.html
Just discovered your videos and yhey are absolutely fantastic
Glad you like them! Thanks.
Hello Paul, I am struggling a lot hitting with a hybrid. I have seen lot of your videos on irons and drivers and it has massively improved my overall game. Can you also please post some tips about hitting a hybrid?
There is no different hitting hybrids. Same swing. Watch this then apply to hybrids. th-cam.com/video/kCSoZGENOYg/w-d-xo.html
I shot 73 at Colony West from the back tees many years ago in Tamarac, FL. About 7150 yards. It had a rating of 75.1 and a slope of 141!! A beast of a challenge. In Florida the ball doesn't fly as far because you're at sea level and the air is thick with humidity. In the spring the winds are crazy. If you can score in Florida, you can play just about any where. I shot a lot rounds in the 80s there and countless rounds in the 90s. I remember on several occasions of swinging and NEVER felt the club even make contact with the ball. It was like a hot knife through butter. The clubhead made dead center perfect contact with the ball. It really was EFFORTLESS! I was never long off the tee, but I was accurate and I focused on my short game a lot; Pitching, Chipping, Bunker Shots and Putting. I beat a lot of people, and it almost always happened around the greens. I've had one "hole in one", 2 or 3 eagles, holing out from the fairway.
Wow! Great round. You know the feeling for sure. Just need that all of the time. You are certainly putting in the work. You've got this.
Thank you Paul!
You're welcome.
Paul - do you think doing 25/100 daily practice swings that you suggest in this video with a weighted club and /or something like the Orange Whip would be good to do or just stick to using ones driver
I don't like people swinging heavy training aids. If so, your clubs feel light which is the opposite to how they should feel. Try to find something light or flip your club upside down. Do a bunch of swings then flip it the right way and you will feel the weight of the club which is what you should be feelig.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul for your feedback - I did this yesterday on the course and hit some effortless , beautiful shots - feeling the weight of the club , feeling like I was throwing the club - eventually though it felt like I was swinging almost too easy and just didn’t seem to have any pop or umph through the ball - should I be thinking of firing my hips/ legs harder and faster with the heavy / throwing the club feeling to give me some power through the shot?
Great tip Paul. Thanks you
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Love the tip! Thanks for the great content.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support.
Im already getting use to the feel you describe here. Thanks Paul. Im curious if this drill might help prevent me from coming out of my shot too early. That seems to be my nemesis right now.
Yes, you come out of it from hitting with the arms. If you turn them off you are not trying to hit anything. If you are not trying to hit anything why would you look? Work on this:
th-cam.com/video/X_pF7x-OCXU/w-d-xo.html
Oh man that is what I will be committing to each night in my practice swings. Thanks coach. Please know you are deeply appreciated by many who love this game.
Give me every day as much as you can for one week then let me know how you are doing. Glad to help.
Paul, I've been working on this for 3 weeks along with powerless arms drills to take my arms out of it. I wanted to let you know the improvements have been dramatic. I am so grateful for your help.I have just ordered Roger Frederick's program from you to help get my 71 year old body a bit more flexible.
So glad you are doing well. So much more fun when you are hitting great shots and knowing you are on track. Roger's stuff is great. Just pick out a few stretches and try to do them regularly. I don't think anyone does them all. Keep up the good work.
great lesson Paul
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Hi Paul, just started following you. I just purchased swing machine golf book. How high should the tee be hitting driver?
You should tee the ball so at least half the ball is above the crown of your driver. Don't go too high or too low.
Thanks for purchasing my products. I appreciate it.
Paul I have been watching your videos for sometime now and have tried to apply this and haven't had any success. I have an arm swinger for so long it seems impossible to stop. I'm a 4 handicap and probably doing that on athleticism. Never am I consistent. I play at least twice a week and at the range 1 or 2 days. When I think I got it, I don't. Any other suggestions? Thanks
You are a 4 handicap and are concerned ? I would pay big bucks for that, lol
To take the arms out you need to master this drill. I call it taming the wild stallion (you):
th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html
No way you can use your arms and do that. Any pro in the world would be able to do this on ball 1. In now 33 years not one student has ever done it on ball one. This is how much people want to hit with the arms. Do that first and get back to me.
It's all relative. Well all want to get to a higher level.
hi Paul, can you demonstrate how much distance with how little effort?
Distance I get or you should be getting? I fly driver usually 280. 7 iron 170.
Paul I've been following you for years and have the body swing. My body is very stiff so I've adapted to what I can do ie not getting to the touch the head position for example. t really hurts my trail shoulder to go that far.. I am trying to understand the release in your method. I am kind of stuck in that regard in that I worry a roll release is going to be very hard to time even though it feels more natural so have been using a throw release with my right. I'm at the point now were my left arms feels like it rotates while my right arm is more throw. Is that what I should be feeling?
I have delt with this before. You need to get it to touch the shoulder or neck. It needs to touch so you can repeat it exactly the same every time. If you don't touch somewhere over there you will get shorter and shorter and lose power. So left shoulder/neck area without hurting yourself. Anything to get it rolling is fine. Roll and hook it. This is the release working or step 1. Once you get that you add body (step 2) to straighten it out.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks. I have a chopped off follow through a la Fleetwood that still gets to the reverse L position and my hands to my shoulder so I do have a check point. Glad to know I am on the right track.
He cracks me up ,lol😊
I try.
It works very well 👍
Glad you are doing it. Keep at it.
Hi Paul! When practicing, should I be trying to keep my lead arm straight, or, does this effortless swing allow for some elbow bend? Thanks!
I did a tip on this here:
th-cam.com/video/1TiT0C8XF2U/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf perfect! Thank you!
You encourage swinging out to 1 o’clock but try to get extension in front?
I try to make sure my right arm stays under my left arm to get an in to out and not over the top swing. Noticed though, some are now straight right by just a tad because of the 1 o’clock swing thought.
Been watching your videos awhile and had, not one, but two 320 drives in same round. Just gotta get it more consistent because neither was on the 285 yard par 4 which woulda been nice😂
Never said to swing to 1 o'clock in this tip. Just stretch it out. That is what I want you to do. If so, your club will point at the target. So use that as a guide not 1 o'clock. Nice 320's. Says you can do it for sure. If you turn your arms off your body would tilt back in the downswing. If so, you wouldn't be coming over the top.

I did a tip on that here:
th-cam.com/video/wcCHnsaw2bg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tip. Just watched it. Off to the range to give it a go. As you probably know, (or maybe you don't) I bought your complete video course a few moths back. Just couldn't get it to work for me. Right before impact it felt like I was flipping my right wrist (I'm a right-handed golfer) The tip you linked mentions your arms are a string and the golf club is the weight. Intellectually I get it. In practice, not so much. I'm off to the range. I really want to master the technique you are teaching.@@paulwilsongolf
When I get people saying that I ask them if they worked on the positions I teach. Keep in mind I have taught for many years and 99% of them have my stuff. Few are actually doing it as I say to do it. Some not even close. To the the point I wonder if they even read the book and worked on the lessons. Flipping is not firing your body. It is that simple. Fire the body and it moves the release point ahead of the ball. You get this by thinking of moving to the follow through positions I teach starting with the lower body. Point B. So you go from Point A to Point B. If you do the position you look like a pro. Pros hit it great. So the person would hit it great if they looked like the pro. When I was learning it I was working on all positions throughout my swing. This got me nowhere. Once I made it simple I got it. So keep it simple and you will get it too. Trying to hold off a flip is using your arms which is totally unnecessary. Keep in mind when people can't do it in reality they are trying to hit their best shots so they go right back to their other swing that doesn't work. You need to do something new and different. You aren't good at it at first so you can't expect perfect shots. You are looking for some mind blowing shots. As you keep doing it you get used to it then you get the mind blowing shots all of the time. So do daily practice swings at home working on the positions. Reduce the balls. Make the positions perfect realizing that if you do, you will look like a pro as you swing. If so, you get the right fundamentals. It is that simple. Last step is to turn your arms off completely in the downswing. Keep me posted. If you want me to see if post a video of your swing and I will check it. I guarantee you are not doing the position(s) as I show.
Thank you for the explanation Paul. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. I will follow your instructions above and once I think I'm doing it correctly I'll send you a video of my swing. I did go to the range today with just a 7 iron and a driver. I did 10 knee high swings with the driver flipped upside down then 30 knee high swings with the driver held correctly trying to feel the weight of the club. After those warm-ups, I put that club down and grabbed my 7 iron and hit a bucket of balls with the only goal of "touching my legs" and "touching my head." I did have more success this time around. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for your reply!@@paulwilsongolf
Paul, is there exceptions ? like deep rough or a bunker shot ?
Well, yes. Deep rough you are chopping it out off the back foot getting it back in play. If you can actually advance it half decently you would be doing your real swing. Bunkers. I do need you to do your real swing. Did you not see my bunker lesson? Here you go:

Paul i think i found one of my big issues with tightness and it was not allowing any radial deviation in lead hand in transition. That part of my wrist was locked up too. When it's loose you can feel and see for lack of a better term ' lag' in the club. Do you have a video on this? Maybe similar to when you talk about feeling that pressure in the wrist at the top that we would not be used to?

Very good. You've go this.
Awesome instructions l am left handed and still fine it difficult 😢
I did say people are not good at it. This is why you need to repeat it long enough that you get used to the new feeling. Daily practice swings is the way to get it.
Been trying the effortless swing for two years but just can't get the distance. Still only carrying 200 yards off the tee (but way straighter though).
If you feel your arms are turned off you need to fire the lower body way way way way way way faster. You should be all over working on this by now. Do this drill daily:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. If I move my hips quicker will my arms begin to release more? Because I have a tendency to hold on through impact even though I am not trying to (it feels like I am not doing anything with my arms but they are still not releasing through impact).
Sounds to my like you speed up body and arms. You need to work on only speeding up the body. It is tricky. Kids do this because they have no arm strength so you need to think like that. Fire only the lower while keeping the arms like Jello. Just do swings in the air. This one would be good:

th-cam.com/video/M58vf3LMwR0/w-d-xo.html
If you are spinning out you are going way to fast so slow down and do it right. As for coming over the top you would have to shift to do that. If you turned you would not be shifting. I explain that in the tip above. Also, do the drill in this tip:

Orange whip is fine but it will never fix your swing. It's heavy. When you swing your club they feel light. This is the wrong feeling. You should be swinging a light club then yours will feel heavy.
Hey Paul, I found a hardcover book you are in.... If I send it to you will you sign it? BTW I love the content. God bless you
What book is it? I will be at the course next week to shoot tips. You can send it there then remind me that it is there. Bear's Best Last Vegas.
@@paulwilsongolf it is Swing Machine . Very well illustrated.
Thanks. You can send it to our pro shop. Again, let me know that you sent it. I am on break now so once I do out again I will grab it. I would assume your name is Mark as in your profile?
@@paulwilsongolf yeah. It’s. Mark. Got it in the mail today. Return label so you don’t have to pay for shipping. Thanks again Paul.
Ok remind me.
Longest ball I ever hit felt effortless. Mr. Wilson is on to something here.
Very good. Just like I said. Everyone has hit this one shot that went 30-50 yards longer. Amazing to me that people aren't all over trying to do that all the time. Well, I will just keep doing what I do and hopefully they will find me.
Pay attention everyone! The Golf Doctor is about to speak! We thank you sir!
Glad you are with me. I am handing it to everyone on a silver platter. They just need to hear me and try it (for more than 3 balls).
I hit a 353 yard drive before and it felt effortless. My pairing partners were like, (expletive) how’d you do that? And I would tell them, “I do not know.” Lol.
Wow! Nice drive. Now you know why. So you are going to be all over doing what I said in the tip right? If so, you can hit them all like that.
@@paulwilsongolf that drive I hit felt relaxing too, ever since that drive, I’ve been looser in my swing. My friends are like, “how do you hit the ball so far with ease?” I told them idk, but I just told you my secret lol.
Gotta love it when your friends say that. That's how you know you've got it. Stay loose! Maybe tell your friends to watch me tips too.
@@paulwilsongolf sure thing, it really helps.
I'm bot going to lie. This is very hard for me to grasp. But for the next week, after work, I'll do 50 hip high effortless swings. And after 7 days ill see how it goes on the range.
Yes, just do it. It's about getting used to the feeling of loosening up. Keep me posted.
I hit the ball wrong so l need to keep trying 😢
Yes, you need to work on a few moves and definitely stop hitting with the arms. Follow this one. It's a simple want to get a decent swing:

Orange 🍊Whip time.
Do it daily until you get the feeling.

Whats up with the airy voice?, golf whisperer...
It's called being at a golf course not wanting to disturb people. You don't see what is out of camera range.
