We hope you enjoyed this video and take the concepts straight to the course. Start finding more fairways and hit more greens without the effort. Remember to go to easiestswing.com to find out more about the Easiest Swing philosophy ⛳
Excellent advise Phil on how to naturally swing a golf club. I have been playing this game for almost 70 years and I learned a long time ago it is better not to try and manipulate the golf club. The manufacturers have designed these clubs in such as way that they will square up without any outside manipulation. A light grip, loose wrists, and supple arms is all you need for these golf clubs to work for you. Well Done Phil! I like the way you present your topics. I have "The Easiest Swing" downloaded onto my Kindle. A great reference guide!
Thanks John glad to hear all this from someone with a lifetime’s experience. That means a lot to me. Glad you have the new book too and finding it useful 👍
Great advice Phil. You’ve gotta lose control to gain control. Had a conversation with my playing partner today after he miss-hit his driver on a a par 5. He couldn’t get to the green so he tried to lay up to a number. He made the most smooth a free swing and hit it 15 yards longer than expected. The rest of the day we told each other, hit your layup shot, on every shot. It was a great ball striking day for both of us,
Im reading “the positive impact of golf”. This book has made me realize to enjoy the game and I’ve never been so relaxed on the course. Thank you for all the videos 😊
Thanks Lionel glad you are getting a lot from our channel and the book. When you finish PIG you might like to read the new book The Easiest Swing in Golf. Thanks for your support 🙏
Great video lesson for sure. I discovered this a while back when I was casually hitting shots out of trouble and actually discovering the feeling the inertia and was amazed at the difference it made for targeting shots and overall game improvement too -- even in the short grass. It seems that I spend far more time now trying to prevent any and all forms of tension/rigidity in my swing routine and (instead) pay much more attention to simply allowing the swing to more freely happen, (as you are saying), which is also allowing me way bullet-straight trajectories, more gratification, and much better scoring.
I totally agree with everything you said. The only thing that I wonder about. The swing as you described it will square up the club face without a doubt. However, the thing I have the biggest problem with is inconsistent strike quality. Sometimes I hit thin shots, sometimes I hit fat shots, sometimes I hit beautiful compressed shots. How does the relaxed swing help with a consistent point of impact?
When you first release yourself from a more tense swing and start to swing more relaxed your rhythm can be rather inconsistent. This will improve as you go on and I would suggest reading our books too as this will help support your journey towards your own Easiest Swing. Sounds like you are making good progress keep up the good work 👍🏌🏾♂️
I have just dicovered your site, I have watched many of your videos over the last few days. I have been playing for many years and always found swinging slower hits it better. I am playing in a Seniors Aniversary medal next week, which I won last year, and I am going to try and put into practice your method and see how I get on, just for information, my HI is 13.9 and I have not ben playing well for the past few months, I will let you know how I get on, thanks in advance for your information.
Thank you I’ve noticed you have quite a bend in your left arm proving you can achieve good shots with this fault. I’ve just turned 70 with a bit of arthritis in that left arm. consequently struggling to keep it straight. I’ll give you a method a try, thank you.
I guess you are quite new to our channel as a straight left arm is one of what we call “the three deadly don’ts” so yes release yourself from trying to keep it straight and relax a bit more and you’ll be amazed by the results. There is more to learn but take your time it will all come together!
@ Thank you for your reply. I’m on the range most week weekday mornings with 100 balls so I have plenty of time to practice. Give it a try in the morning. I don’t expect it to work straight away. Thanks again, much appreciated.
Hi Phil, I’ve noticed that recently I’ve become ‘left hand dominant’ using ES which I think is causing my topped shots, shanks and duffs. I think I need to weaken my grip... any views on this? Whatever- I’m sticking with the ES! Thanks.
The three P’s Patience, Practice and Perseverance are essential for success, so well done on making that commitment I suspect you are experiencing this feeling in your left hand as a comparison to have previously been right hand dominant. Given time this will calm down and once your rhythm matches your new more relaxed action it will soon become much more consistent. Sounds like you are making great progress keep going and we will support you all the way. I’d suggest buying our books as they will help you along the journey 👍
Hi Philip, Yes interference free is OK but some action towards the target to collect the ball through the turf and send it to the target is required. Depending on the type of interaction with the turf tone in the wrists changes.
Thanks for the compliment. No two golfers will (or should) do this exactly the same. What you need to aim for is the most natural move you can make that doesn’t have the three deadly don’ts interfering. If that term is not familiar just watch more of our videos or read one of our two books. Hope you find your own easiest swing soon. 👍

Thanks so much for the video. Tension has always been an issue for me and this video really helped. I have a question. On the downswing, is your feeling more body driven or arms driven? In other words is the feeling when swinging down, the body leading the arms or vice versa?
Whilst most pros would say the arms trail the body for them, for many club golfers this just leads to a disconnect of clubhead, body and arms. Therefore for most players reducing tension and increasing awareness of where the clubhead is without forcing it or trying to control it too much is the best way to deliver the club squarely. We do discuss this topic in several of our videos so keep watching!
We have recently recorded some swings I did in slow motion (in real time as opposed to to being shown in slow motion) these will be coming out soon but I’ll get the production team onto this too it’s a good idea. Bear in mind it’s usually a couple of months before these videos get edited finished and published. Thanks for your input and hope you are enjoying our videos. 👍
If I answered this question there would be three issues that could send you off in the wrong direction. 1) it would indicate there are “positions” we should aim for, but there are no “positions” in a motion. 2) It would also assume that it is ok to manipulate the club into unnatural “positions” whereas we believe you are better to be aware of how the club swings most naturally and see if you can allow your body not to interfere and more or less go along for the ride. 3) Finally, it would also assume we are all the same, but of course we are not, we are all built differently with different length levers and differing weights and flexibility. So golfers will all do this this differently and individually. This final point is something we think most methods overlook, as most of them want us all to follow some template of a “perfect” swing, whereas we just want to help you find your own best action. If you don’t know too much about Easiest Swing you may not have heard of the Three Deadly Don’ts and for sure if you have any one of those in your swing it will also be affecting many factors including the club head. I hope in a roundabout way that all answers your question!
A few years ago I stopped playing golf because it was no longer enjoyable for me. The harder I tried the worst I played. When I would struggle and I had people watching me I would tense up even more.I was miserable! I will be retiring at the end of the year and I need something to do to get me out of the house and get exercise so I'm thinking about giving golf a try again. Do you think golf can be fun for me again? Thank you, Larry
Hi Larry, this is going to sound like a sales pitch but it really isn’t - I promise! Please read one or both of our two books especially the new one as you will read about many people who had similar experiences until they started adopting our principles. Once you have read “The Easiest Swing in Golf” available via our website and at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones etc you will discover the fun in golf and how much easier it can be than your previous experience. Then come and join the ES club where we can help you along that journey with massive resources to help you find your own best swing - not trying to copy anyone else, especially not the game’s elite, just a simple swing that will feel comfortable and easy. Once you have done this and a few years down the line you are enjoying your best game please tell the world and spread the word. It is wonderful being involved in a business where I hear daily about golfers getting so much pleasure from the game. I am 66 myself and am playing the best golf of my life, not retired yet so can’t play as often as I’d like but it doesn’t matter that can come! I have played for 56 years often with a love, hate relationship but I now enjoy every game EVEN when I play poorly. Hope to be in touch with you all along the way. Philip.
I allow myself to relax and get quite a reasonable distance say 190 carry which is probably average for my age 67 but can’t get any further with a relaxed swing .what am I missing ? I can get 145 to 165 wy😮ith a six iron but feel I should get more carry with the driver ? Any ideas please
Most likely you are not launching the ball high enough. Most commonly for club golfers they launch it too low and put too much spin in the ball. Have you had a club fitting recently?
Reduce effort and use gravity. Bobby jones had a clubhead speed of 113 mph (respectable even amongst today’s tour players) and his clubhead accelerated at 34 feet per second per second. Gravity accelerates a falling object at 32 feet per second per second. Players who struggle for clubhead speed often attempt to overpower this natural force. Hope that helps to set you on a new path.
Great video. It is amazing how easy the swing can be if you just let it happen. I am sorry, but your swing trainer is way overpriced. I will take your tips to heart, and use my old " click" swing trainer to train for more speed and proper release.
Glad to hear you have one that works for you. Unfortunately the Swing Caddy and Hole in One are quite highly priced we agree - unfortunately we are not able to reduce the price and cheaper versions don’t work as well.

Indeed!
I just love your swing! On your back swing, do you pull it back at a particular angle?

I don't know where you're playing but, the background in this lesson certainly emphasizes the need to hit it straight! 🙂
It is a great Harry S Colt golf course in the uk midlands called Northants County GC - well worth a visit!
Thank you for the great advice
You are so welcome!
Great video. I seem to be pulling must of my iron shots. Distance is good , but way left. Any advise? Thanks

Thanks Julian. Appreciate your support keep enjoying your golf. Play well and stay well 🏌🏾♂️⛳️
Any chance of a very slow motion of your swing. Frontal and down the line ??
We have recently recorded some swings I did in slow motion (in real time as opposed to to being shown in slow motion) these will be coming out soon but I’ll get the production team onto this too it’s a good idea. Bear in mind it’s usually a couple of months before these videos get edited finished and published. Thanks for your input and hope you are enjoying our videos. 👍
Do you swing with the toe up in both the backswing and on the follow through?
If I answered this question there would be three issues that could send you off in the wrong direction.
1) it would indicate there are “positions” we should aim for, but there are no “positions” in a motion.
2) It would also assume that it is ok to manipulate the club into unnatural “positions” whereas we believe you are better to be aware of how the club swings most naturally and see if you can allow your body not to interfere and more or less go along for the ride.

@@Easiestswing thanks for the reply ,but never ever had a club fitting . Will consider it in near future. Thanks for the advice
Only starten golf at 69 years old. Lessons have made me totally fixated on all the do's and don'ts. Will have to let go but still lack the confidence.
Great! I’m sure you will discover the more you let go the better it will get 👍
Lately I've been hitting straighter shots. The reason? I've been checking my aim! 🙂
Well done 👍
I don't know how you create speed...
Reduce effort and use gravity. Bobby jones had a clubhead speed of 113 mph (respectable even amongst today’s tour players) and his clubhead accelerated at 34 feet per second per second. Gravity accelerates a falling object at 32 feet per second per second. Players who struggle for clubhead speed often attempt to overpower this natural force. Hope that helps to set you on a new path.
Frictionless
