I bought Paul’s program a few years back. Prior to that, I couldn’t hit the ball further than 190. Fast forward 3 years of once a week practice sessions and now I hit my driver 250 straight every single time. Best investment I’ve made in my game. Follow it and be patient- totally worth it!
Paul's course changed everything for me too. Previously my drives were 'all over the place' but now I rarely miss the fairway. Have saved oodles of cash by rarely losing any balls.
This drill is super excellent. I tried it and in only 2 minutes, bang, I got the lag, my driver straight forward and further. I've looked for it for over 2 years of golf. Thank you so much, Paul. You're the master!
Glad you found this one and saw how easy it is to get lag. People out there trying to get it will never get it. This is because they keep using their arms. All you have to do it turn them off. This drill does that as you see. The problem is getting people to keep doing it (which is truly mind boggling). Do that one along with this one. Do it in daily practice swings for a few weeks/month and you will have it forever. th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
No lag, lots of casting, outside swing....you have identified most of my bad shot routines...The rest of it comes fairly easy so I just need to relax, trust my swing and start trying your drills. Thanks for doing this and enjoy the holidays....
Great to hear! This is a good one for sure. When you stand there for now 30 years and people want stuff fast you need to think of ways to give it to them. This is a good one for sure. Everyone gets lag in minutes doing this.
The visual from 2.26 is the best explanation I've ever seen of the root cause of lag, or no lag. All other instructors seem to focus on impact only. Thank you.
Hey Paul, I know this is a drill, but sometimes I absolutely smash the shot letting the lead arm breakdown and fully hinging the wrist. I'm so tempted to just hit like this because if feels like such a loose and easy swing that produces crazy club head speed. But I imagine this wouldn't work out in the long run? You're so generous responding to these questions and providing great usable content, I just purchased your program to show my appreciation! Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing "The Body Swing Bundle". You can login with your email and password at the link below.
I would love it if everyone hit balls like this for a while. As you see you do get crazy clubhead speed. Problem is few will every do it. Think about little kids. Everyone marvels at them. This is what they are doing and they have perfect lag and no chicken wing. They get serious speed with no arm strength. So keep doing it. Maybe you say you are going to do it daily for 2-3 weeks. This will get you the feeling of super loose arms. It will get you perfect lag and no chicken wing too. Then once you feel you have it just keep it a little off the neck. Get used to that. Then keep it off a little more and so on until you have the perfect backswing. See? One step at a time. I have done this drill countless times with students and they all start nailing it. Then I just tell them to keep it a little off the neck. Thanks in advance for the support. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks Paul.. This is such a great lesson. I picked up the club and did this drill and OMG, my swing feels so smooth and relaxed. Your perspective, breaking down the arm to relax is priceless.
GOOD morning sir, been trying for years to find this .I have viewed every video you've made ,this one was the AH HA moment ,got it now will keep it forever !! thank you much don't stop helping us all , Bill 84 yrs
Thanks Paul, your advice is golden. I've been following you for a week now, purchased your course and have never hit the ball further! I'm 63 and hit it better than when I was in my 20s. Thanks so much for your amazing insights about taking your arms out of the swing.
Thank you for the support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you are seeing results. Try to do daily practice swings working on my swing positions. It's all about the movement. The ball is the problem. No ball means no hitting so you can take the arms out and hit it great.
I hit the driver with lag about 30 years ago and drove a par 4, all by accident. I could never get this feeling back until now. Thank you Paul. I am going to practice and will be a single digit handicapper in 1 month. Thank you again
So glad you found me. Lag is super simple now you know how to do it. This is a drill. Keep doing it for a while then just keep it off your neck. Let's hit some more par 4's!!!
Totally understand that you're trying to teach what lag feels like. Too often I'm worried about what my arms are doing when I should be mindful of rotating hips to create lag.
Paul, I am a 74 yr old senior. Hitting indoors recently using a "Trackman" I recently hit a fairway 7 wood 188 yards off the deck using lag. I was amazed in that looking this video here it was exactly done as shown here ! My goal now is the hit my driver with "lag" to generate more distance. This video is excellent in the fact it gives me steps to follow to achieve my goal. More than anything here, and though you don't mention it, this video when followed prevents the dreaded "casting" which is the biggest killer of lag. At my age, I am averaging 210 yards per drive and yet I feel that your method here will get me more yardage soon. Thanks for this excellent video!
Very good. Just keep doing this drill then keep it away from your neck when you are ready. Too many people stop doing things after a few balls. Got to keep doing it until you groove it. This will then go into all of your clubs so you will have it for life.
Omg ! The best drill ever. I've never hit the golf ball so consistent. THANKS PAUL,YOUR THE MAN. If ever in Paul's neck of the wood's get a lesson from him.You will be glad you did.
You got that right. So any people want lag yet I can have people get it in 2 mins. People are trying to get it the wrong way. This is simple but you need to do it until you get used to it.
You’ve got me back in the groove. We go back a long way; RST. So I’m back on board with swinging from A to B. Right hip, left hip; relaxed wrists, hands and arms, amazing power. In-to-Square-to-In. And natural release. Thanks for all you do to help us improve. Advancement and not continuation of our bad habits. Martin Henbury GC, UK.
Whoever says that this drill is worthless clearly hasn’t achieved the feeling of creating lag and hitting the long ball. Great Drill here. Thanks for the info !!!
This is an incredible drill for sure. Everyone wants lag so why not try it to see if you get it. I guarantee if you do this you will get it. And it only takes 2 mins.
65 years old following this drill hitting rubber practice balls, I can not wait to hit the real ones. What a difference! Awesome drill! Sharing with all I know.
You crush the ball usually this method, best drill. Your right elbow naturally stays bent at impact and extends after impact. Thanks for sharing ball. It actually gave me 10 yards on every club so i had to adjust and club up. I keep coming to this video! Thanks Paul!!
This doesn't feel strange or uneasy at all, in fact it actually feels like freedom. I just played a horrendous round of golf and I can say with 100% certainty that this drill itself feels better than any swing I attempted today. Brilliant video with the most succinct lesson I have ever seen.
PAUL YOU BLOODY MAGICIAN HAHA I have struggled with lag for about 4 years. I'm 6ft 6 and always use my arms, tried this today at the range and hit almost every ball perfect with distance Thank you.
Wow! OMG, fabulous suggestion ! In years past I played a ton of golf and never heard anything close to this simple approach to Eliminating casting. Just trying to understand and implement other suggestions was a head spinner. This makes so much sense and is simple. Thank you Paul. With gratitude, Patrick
Works like a charm. Problem is getting people to keep doing it. If you actually do keep doing it you will have lag in days/weeks then you will have to forever. Then just keep it off your neck. Done.
@@paulwilsongolf At the range yesterday w/ only ~30% of the balls being well hit (very well hit actually) & I got discouraged. Your comment of "keep doing it" is timely and appreciated. I have a overswing (generational pass on) - might that make this drill more difficult? Thank you Paul
This one is great fo me as I have lost confidence at the worrying where the down swing might end up which is why I have only been doing 3/4 + back swings for now. This video will get me back to the top where I should be. Thanks this is a good one.
Yes, this is a good one. Video your swing and you will see lag instantly. Do this one too it's a great drill: th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/0gOuKQpUl54/w-d-xo.html
Paul, thanks for the quick response.I love the wrist drills.Feels very different and so much better.I can't believe how much better that drill felt.I'm going to work on that and your hip drills.I will get back to you and let you know my progress.Thanks again.
Thank you Paul for this great lesson,. I have been trying for years to play without a death grip and lag problems I found this lesson to help me out more than any other lesson by far. Worked on the range for about an hour before a round and was hitting the ball much better. One par five I had a to get the ball up a little higher due to trees.... Grabbed 8 iron usually my 150 club hit it 175 to the green, yeah had a 5 mph wind behind me but felt great... Tap in birdie.. looking forward to use this lesson more and play with a lot less pain. Also notice my divots were more even,. Usually my toe is deeper but hey one problem at a time... Thanks again... Ron
You're welcome. This works great to get lag. Problem is the person tries it a few times and stops. This is a drill that needs to be done for a little while. Maybe a week or two until you unlock the arms and get the lag. Once you do, you then keep the club away from the neck. So you take this one in steps and as you see you get the payoff. Keep at it. You are making a huge breakthrough that will take your game to a whole new level.
For sure. Lag means something is trailing behind something else. If people would only think of that when they swing a club they would actually start moving their body first ... wouldn't they?
As a learner who struggles to relax as I hit duffer after duffer I am looking forward to trying this drill. I am beginning to improve my body movement without the club but am still inconsistent with the club in hand. Practice, practice, practice and try to hear Paul’s voice to calm me!!!
Very good. Clear thoughts. Don't work on too much at once. Stick to one of two things and master them then move on. As you are working on things you will not hit every shot perfect. It is about making the change. The ball is in the future.
Hi Paul. I have been trying for years to get lag in my swing, but I had no turn and a deathgrip on the club. I watched your video, then went to the range. Only had time to hit about 15 balls, so I thought Oh well, I'll practice on the course. Success! Not only did it add lag, it freed up my shoulders so I could actually turn! And it released my death grip on the club. Thanks!
Glad you found this one. Lag is important. You need loose wrists to get it so being tight is never going to get you there. Keep doing this drill and you will have it in your swing in no time.
Thanks for this! It was worth trying just to get a feel for where the club should be to have good lag without feeling like I'm forcing it. I'm a pretty new golfer but have played tennis since I was a kid (over 20 years now), so the concept/importance of lag makes sense to me (though I think lag is probably important in almost every sport, to be honest!). I just couldn't find how to make it feel relaxed and reliable. I definitely didn't expect instant success, but it's been really encouraging to see how much smoother this part of my (very much still in development) swing feels after spending time with this drill.
Yes, this is a vital part of any great swing. Keep working on it and over time it will be in your swing too. Just remember it is about loose wrists. If you are tight and trying to hit with the arms you will never get it.
I think this drill is the best drill someone wants to make smoother swing. most amateur golfers want to have perfect back swing as similar as tiger or rory; they always stretch their left arm in back swing and the results their shot is perhaps going to right it means making slice shot. I want every one knows differences between getting stiff to making power. I am a korean and english is not my first language, so i cannot express my appreciation out to wilson; his lessons are no words of lie, and i guarantee you that is going to be a single player asap.
Paul after my 2nd right knee replacement in January I'm relearning the golf swing (I was a 7 before the first replacement) I've been using this drill with the belt buckle drill and have dropped my handicap by 4 ( 18 to 14) in this month. THANKS FOR THE TIPS
Very good. You are heading in the right direction. Keep at it. I have taught tons of people with fake knees. Never and issue. So be confident as you work on it.
Thank you for this lesson. I developed a bad habit in casting and found this and now I have a purpose to practice because now I’m contacting the ball. Need muscle memory
Very good. Arm extension is a big part of it. Contract and you will you'll do a chicken wing which is definitely not good. Stick to that and do this drill too: th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
Paul - This is great. I recently got an Acu-strike impact training mat, to help determine where I'm striking the ground (fat!!). This drill had my striking after the ball location within 5 swings. Slow at first, as you stated. Great stuff, need to do this drill daily.... and between shots on the range/course!!
Wow -- a great tip video. This combined with your just rest the club on the neck and move just the body (no ball hitting) puts it all together. Later in the tip you mention not being so stiff trying to maintain that straight left arm -- that is me -- will work now to be less 'rigid' and this drill addresses that also. Thanks!
Give it a try. My grip pressure is light when I start but increases going back. The difference is, my wrists are loose. Watch: th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul. Hope you are well! I always come back to this drill; not only does it correct my lag, but also corrects the rhythm and timing. Forces you to take the arms out of the swing.
Everything is good. This is a great one. Glad you tried it and keep doing it. Can't do it with stiff arms so it really is great for not only getting lag but reducing arm strength.
You are by far the most effective teacher with your teaching methods and amazing drills that produce positive results in minutes. Thank you so much Paul. You are awesome
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I just need people to understand it and try it for more than 3 balls. If so, they will be amazed and hopefully they keep doing it. Glad you are.
You made 2 videos that when you tie them together also helps contact with lag…the video on backswing where front shoulder and back hip separate on downswing…and the backswing where the head moves back ( not still ) and then full extension is a foot after contact…with head staying back….so you maintain lag until a foot after contact….it’s cause and effect..just hit first spring bucket and smoked the ball…totally great instruction…
I've had an issue with breaking my left arm for several years and have clearly become an arm swinger. I'm going out today today practice this technique in combination with continued work on my neutral grip.
Hey Paul it’s not as easy as you make it look. You have a great deal of talent my friend because for those who’ve been at it for awhile, the body swing is the most coveted type swing there is. Only a few like you possess it. Hats off!
Well it is easy. The problem is easy is difficult due to people wanting to hit with the arms. So I am doing my part to explain how you are going to get power if you are not hitting anything. If people get the concept hopefully they try it and get success too.
Paul Wilson Golf I believe that and hope soon to reach a place where the hands and arms act in a more natural way. Like anything else it’s up and down due to the newness. Thanks.
Paul..literally two minutes! Two freaking minutes and I am hitting my irons 15-20 yards further. Thanks for the great tip! I wish you would have put this tip out a couple of months ago 😂 Absolutely love all your videos...keep 'em coming!
I got sick of my right shoulder coming over the top today and hooking/slicing everything. On the back nine, I resolved myself to just swing with the body and take my arms out of it. All of a sudden I was hitting dead straight drives that felt like zero effort and started hitting my pitching wedge flush with dollar bill divots! I mean the divot was a work of art. Never have I managed to do that before. And I was actually hitting my driver further. Unbelievable.
Wow I started doing this with my swing when I started 3 months ago but didn't see any PGA players doing this so I thought its was a fault in my swing but could hit it well 90% of the time I surely going back to this swing thanks man
Just found this drill and must say it has make wonders with my swing. Provide me with the right feedback to improve my lag and tempo. No jokes it only takes 10 min to see improvements.
Very good. So many people want lag and yet it is so easy to get. The problem is they try this a few times then stop. Got to do this stuff until mastered. Keep at it.
Im a heavier golfer just returning to the sport after a 20 year hiatus. I've been watching some of your videos and they have been helpful. Any specifically made to address the issues I might find physically from being out of shape. After a couple months, I am still in the high 90's.
There is no difference or compensations. I have taught people of all shapes and sizes without issue. Might not physically be able to do a position exactly as I teach it but you need to get a close as you can. Loose wrists and not hitting with arms is key. Then coiling and uncoiling. Legs and hips are the power source. At high 90's you are out of position. Just master the grip and wrists hinge first: th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html loosen up the wrists: th-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/w-d-xo.html Do this drill until its mastered: th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul, Thanks for your great tips and advice which has really helped me stop trying to play like the 8 handicap, 50 year old I was 20 years ago, and concentrate instead on trying to play like the 17 handicapper I now am. I've just played Royal Birkdale here in the UK today in an annual tournament I enjoy. I was mindful all the way round about your tempo and hinging advice in particular. I stopped trying to get on greens in gross regulation and concentrated instead on net regulation golf. I shot one over net par - my best ever performance on that tough links. I'm spreading the word about your postings. Keep up the good work. Bob
That's great. It's recognizing what you were doing was not working. You need to do this sooner rather than later. Now you are on track and seeing results. It will get even better over time. You'll see. Thanks for the promo to others. I appreciate it.
Well, I gotta say, I never even tought about it that way... i've been to around 6 golf lessons in the 2 years I've been playing and, while I understand there are "levels" of progress in which you learn new things, not one teacher has told me this very simple thing And I have zero lag. I can strike the ball half decently, but not as consistent as I want and no distance compared to some friends. The comparison side by side of your student was a an eye opener.
Sorry, I overlooked your comment. Hopefully, you kept working on it. If so, you would have perfect lag by now. This is the easiest way to get so if you didn't work on it start again and stop looking for the answer. It it right here.
You've been trying to get lag for 50 years? Wow! Now you'll finally have it in 2 mins. Just have to see it differently and try something different. Obviously what you were doing to try to get wasn't working. This is super-simple. Stay focused and you will have it forever.
This is a great video Paul. One of the biggest challenges to my game is lack of distance. I know I need to get more lag but I always fear "losing the clubhead" behind me when I'm about to take my shot. I think it is way more mental than physical. I am going to practice your drill in my yard and then work my way up to trying it on the range this weekend. I know it will feel odd at first but trust this will be a way to add yards to my game.
Thanks. Everyone wants distance few find it. It is about loose wrists (which gets you lag) and turn your body way faster. Focus only on those 2 things. Hinge and rehinge then do some of my body drills and tips. Grip: Hinge/Rehinge: th-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/w-d-xo.html Just look for the body tips. There are too many to list here.th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html just do the wrist hinging and rehinging as mush as possible. This is where you get the power but this is connected to your rotating body.
Will try this Thursday, I am 55 and only hitting 7 iron 135 yards now, used to be 150 yards. I don't expect to score well the first time out just hoping for increased yardage.
That is because you were just whacking away it with your arms. That told you how strong you are. So now you have lost distance this tells me that you are starting to turn off your arms. Great. Now at some point you need to switch to the other power source (legs and hips) for power. Watch: th-cam.com/video/XzKMsembmGI/w-d-xo.html
thanx paul very much. At the beginning of this video, I wondered how do I know I'm getting lag but at the end u answered my question, use a cam corder n that's what i'll do
See, this is why people need to watch the whole video. I tend to get complainers saying that I repeat myself or the tips are too long. Well, as you found out there are nuggets all throughout the video and especially near the end as I think of it later in the tip. Glad you stuck around to get the answer you were looking for.
This is a terrific drill. I play my best when I am kind of loosey goosey like Colin Montgomery. This gets me back in that groove. Thanks. Btw, Harry Vardon had a similar swing
Pro vs Amateur, pros flex their lead arm elbow toward the top of the backswing and the angle increases into impact. Around 8degree at impact. That reduces dynamic loft without adjusting axis tilt or wrist angle. A fully extended left arm leads to hyper extension at the top of the swing and impact. That’s were that achy swollen left elbow comes from.
Well I have helped counted people relieve or eliminate golfer's elbow by loosening up. Who has golfer's elbow? Those with a chicken wing. When you tighten the arms buckle which stretches the tendon on the lead elbow. Once I loosen people up their arms never hurt again. Yes, I really don't like a stiff arm at the top. This tightens everything which is the opposite of what I am trying to get people to do. Not sure if we are on the page with that because my lead arm is most certainly extend at and though impact.
Most amazing drill ever. I was only hitting nerf golf balls against the house but they were rocketing off the club face. The club was literally almost torn from my hands at follow through. I shot video and sure enough, there was as much lag as your pro swing. I noticed that with the shaft on my neck at the top I was way past parallel and there was no way I was able to use my arms to start the swing. The body did it all. And my lead arm straightened on its on during the downswing. The only issue was some lead arm chicken winging and I swung with flat feet but I can work that out.
If you notice a difference in power that's great. Chicken wing is you tightening just before you hit it. Watch: th-cam.com/video/7o65z_pd28s/w-d-xo.html
Paul Wilson Golf Practicing the easy swing and stopping trying to hit the ball with my arms eliminated the chicken wood and the club also shallowed on the downswing without any conscious effort.
Funny thing i was hitting back of my neck exactly as your drill suggests to try to create lag in actual rounds and it worked to get way higher and further irons im 6 foot 7...if u do that drill and bring the club tight from inside like Furyk u hit blades amazingly! Im a bogie golfer but no kidding hit 7 pars in row doing that...no reason for me to hit blades only shows me if if hitting small sweet spot if i can do it with blades will translate amazingly to mid capper clubs...
I stumbled upon this a couple years ago when I was struggling with a hook. I found that when I let the driver shaft touch my neck, the hook was instantly cured and I was driving the ball straighter and farther than ever.
That's great that you tried it. The hook was coming from a strong grip probably tightening your wrists. Once you hit the shoulder you fully hinged the club into more of a square position.
Paul, big fan ever since the swing machine days. Was one of my favorite golf swing books for years, but somehow never saw this drill. When I do this drill it feels like I am leaving the club up top as I unwind the body. Is that the correct feeling?
Glad you're still with me. Yes, I thought of this quite a few years ago now but not way back. I have numerous versions of this tip now. I would suggest doing it regularly to loosen your arms. Watch: th-cam.com/video/0gOuKQpUl54/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/FZppibjp2Hw/w-d-xo.html
Pls always start with a brief refresher on what lag is and why it is important and do not assume the subject to be obvious. This little tip will in my opinion increase your client base. Thanks
This isn't my only tip. Here you go: 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 Drill: th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html Lag Secret: th-cam.com/video/KZAj2Bk8Roc/w-d-xo.html
Yes, this one works instantly. The problem is the person not wanting to keep doing it so they go right back hitting and no lag. I would want the person doing this until they get used to it then into the future start keeping it away from the neck.
I videoed my swing today and decided to quit the game it was so bad. Thanks for posting this. I’m going to try it tomorrow and start again. (I’ve quit dozens of times).
No need to quit. I have helped countless people in your shoes hit he ball better than ever. Simple is the key. Just do a few simple things and in no time you will have it back. Keep in mind the main issue is hitting with arms. Couple this with working on too many things etc. and it all falls apart. Let me know what your ball is doing and I will get you back on track. In the mean time you can work on lag but I would be working on loosening up the arms first. Loose arms and you get lag as you see in the video you can't even do it if your arms are locked up. Do this too: th-cam.com/video/LAejvDbw_aA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/0gOuKQpUl54/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/T-dK-aX4c6U/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. I videoed myself again this morning and then hit some balls and had a very noticeable increase in club head speed without any extra effort. I’m so glad I found your channel.
That is because you are trying to hit perfect shots. You need to tee it up and swing at no more than 50%. Get it then speed up the lower body for more power not the arms. Do this drill until mastered: th-cam.com/video/7WZ8wWsT9HE/w-d-xo.html Also, never purposely hit down on the ball.

Hi Paul. Great videos thanks mate. This lag video is a winner. Do you have an opinion of the worth or otherwise of the the swing aid known as LAGSHOT SWING TRAINER
Glad you liked it. As far as training aids go I haven't used that one. I don't use them. The only one I promote is this one ignitiongolf.com/ultimate-swing-trainer/
Glad to have you on board. My students and followers get amazing results. Keep watching or let me know what you are having trouble with and I will send you links to videos.

I bought Paul’s program a few years back. Prior to that, I couldn’t hit the ball further than 190. Fast forward 3 years of once a week practice sessions and now I hit my driver 250 straight every single time. Best investment I’ve made in my game. Follow it and be patient- totally worth it!
Very good. So glad you are doing well. That's what it's all about. Keep up the good work.
Paul's course changed everything for me too. Previously my drives were 'all over the place' but now I rarely miss the fairway. Have saved oodles of cash by rarely losing any balls.
So glad you are doing well. I love hearing it.
This drill is super excellent. I tried it and in only 2 minutes, bang, I got the lag, my driver straight forward and further. I've looked for it for over 2 years of golf.
Thank you so much, Paul. You're the master!
Glad you found this one and saw how easy it is to get lag. People out there trying to get it will never get it. This is because they keep using their arms. All you have to do it turn them off. This drill does that as you see. The problem is getting people to keep doing it (which is truly mind boggling). Do that one along with this one. Do it in daily practice swings for a few weeks/month and you will have it forever.

Yes, need to be way looser coming down. Happy holidays too. Stay loose!
Paul this drill is priceless. I went right to the range, started slow and within no time I added 10to 13 mph to my swing speed. Awesome! Thank you!
Great to hear! This is a good one for sure. When you stand there for now 30 years and people want stuff fast you need to think of ways to give it to them. This is a good one for sure. Everyone gets lag in minutes doing this.
The visual from 2.26 is the best explanation I've ever seen of the root cause of lag, or no lag. All other instructors seem to focus on impact only. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I always asked myself "why." I you don't know why then you are always guessing. There has to be a reason for everything.
I’ve been struggling with lag for decades. This one drill has done more for my game than anything else I’ve ever learned. Thanks Paul!
Like I said, 2 mins to lag. Glad you tried it.
Hey Paul, I know this is a drill, but sometimes I absolutely smash the shot letting the lead arm breakdown and fully hinging the wrist. I'm so tempted to just hit like this because if feels like such a loose and easy swing that produces crazy club head speed. But I imagine this wouldn't work out in the long run?
You're so generous responding to these questions and providing great usable content, I just purchased your program to show my appreciation!
Congratulations!
Thank you for purchasing "The Body Swing Bundle".

I would love it if everyone hit balls like this for a while. As you see you do get crazy clubhead speed. Problem is few will every do it. Think about little kids. Everyone marvels at them. This is what they are doing and they have perfect lag and no chicken wing. They get serious speed with no arm strength. So keep doing it. Maybe you say you are going to do it daily for 2-3 weeks. This will get you the feeling of super loose arms. It will get you perfect lag and no chicken wing too. Then once you feel you have it just keep it a little off the neck. Get used to that. Then keep it off a little more and so on until you have the perfect backswing. See? One step at a time. I have done this drill countless times with students and they all start nailing it. Then I just tell them to keep it a little off the neck. Thanks in advance for the support. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks Paul.. This is such a great lesson. I picked up the club and did this drill and OMG, my swing feels so smooth and relaxed. Your perspective, breaking down the arm to relax is priceless.
Great job!
Paul how do I send you My swing.
GOOD morning sir, been trying for years to find this .I have viewed every video you've made ,this one was the AH HA moment ,got it now will keep it forever !! thank you much don't stop helping us all , Bill 84 yrs
Glad you finally found me. This works like a charm. Just stick with it. It's a drill. Once good at it just keep it off your neck in the future.
Thanks Paul, your advice is golden. I've been following you for a week now, purchased your course and have never hit the ball further! I'm 63 and hit it better than when I was in my 20s. Thanks so much for your amazing insights about taking your arms out of the swing.
Thank you for the support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you are seeing results. Try to do daily practice swings working on my swing positions. It's all about the movement. The ball is the problem. No ball means no hitting so you can take the arms out and hit it great.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks. I am taking this advice and doing the home swings daily and will keep doing this! Have a great day!
I hit the driver with lag about 30 years ago and drove a par 4, all by accident. I could never get this feeling back until now. Thank you Paul. I am going to practice and will be a single digit handicapper in 1 month. Thank you again
So glad you found me. Lag is super simple now you know how to do it. This is a drill. Keep doing it for a while then just keep it off your neck. Let's hit some more par 4's!!!
Paul, you truly are a great instructor, coach, and explainer of the golf swing. Thank you for always keeping it real.
Much appreciated
Totally understand that you're trying to teach what lag feels like. Too often I'm worried about what my arms are doing when I should be mindful of rotating hips to create lag.
Right. The hips compress the lag angle if the wrists are loose.
Paul, I am a 74 yr old senior. Hitting indoors recently using a "Trackman" I recently hit a fairway 7 wood 188 yards off the deck using lag. I was amazed in that looking this video here it was exactly done as shown here ! My goal now is the hit my driver with "lag" to generate more distance. This video is excellent in the fact it gives me steps to follow to achieve my goal. More than anything here, and though you don't mention it, this video when followed prevents the dreaded "casting" which is the biggest killer of lag. At my age, I am averaging 210 yards per drive and yet I feel that your method here will get me more yardage soon. Thanks for this excellent video!
Very good. Just keep doing this drill then keep it away from your neck when you are ready. Too many people stop doing things after a few balls. Got to keep doing it until you groove it. This will then go into all of your clubs so you will have it for life.
Omg ! The best drill ever. I've never hit the golf ball so consistent. THANKS PAUL,YOUR THE MAN. If ever in Paul's neck of the wood's get a lesson from him.You will be glad you did.
You got that right. So any people want lag yet I can have people get it in 2 mins. People are trying to get it the wrong way. This is simple but you need to do it until you get used to it.
You’ve got me back in the groove. We go back a long way; RST. So I’m back on board with swinging from A to B. Right hip, left hip; relaxed wrists, hands and arms, amazing power. In-to-Square-to-In. And natural release. Thanks for all you do to help us improve. Advancement and not continuation of our bad habits.

Welcome back! Not sure why people leave. I do have the answers. They do come back though. Stay focused.
Whoever says that this drill is worthless clearly hasn’t achieved the feeling of creating lag and hitting the long ball.
Great Drill here. Thanks for the info !!!
This is an incredible drill for sure. Everyone wants lag so why not try it to see if you get it. I guarantee if you do this you will get it. And it only takes 2 mins.
65 years old following this drill hitting rubber practice balls, I can not wait to hit the real ones. What a difference! Awesome drill! Sharing with all I know.
Thanks so much. Lag is a big one. If pros have it then you need it too.
You crush the ball usually this method, best drill. Your right elbow naturally stays bent at impact and extends after impact. Thanks for sharing ball. It actually gave me 10 yards on every club so i had to adjust and club up. I keep coming to this video! Thanks Paul!!
Very good. You just have to power it with the body. Once you do you get tons of power as opposed to just hitting with the arms.
Really working, I followed your instruction since July and I have enjoyed the relax swing better than before. Much straighter in both irons and woods
Fantastic! Another convert. Only 79 million more to go.
This doesn't feel strange or uneasy at all, in fact it actually feels like freedom. I just played a horrendous round of golf and I can say with 100% certainty that this drill itself feels better than any swing I attempted today. Brilliant video with the most succinct lesson I have ever seen.
Very good way to put it. Try this drill too:
th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
Get this and your whole world will change.
PAUL YOU BLOODY MAGICIAN HAHA I have struggled with lag for about 4 years. I'm 6ft 6 and always use my arms, tried this today at the range and hit almost every ball perfect with distance Thank you.
Glad you got it. This is a big one. At your size you will just kill it.
Wow! OMG, fabulous suggestion ! In years past I played a ton of golf and never heard anything close to this simple approach to Eliminating casting. Just trying to understand and implement other suggestions was a head spinner. This makes so much sense and is simple. Thank you Paul. With gratitude, Patrick
Works like a charm. Problem is getting people to keep doing it. If you actually do keep doing it you will have lag in days/weeks then you will have to forever. Then just keep it off your neck. Done.
@@paulwilsongolf At the range yesterday w/ only ~30% of the balls being well hit (very well hit actually) & I got discouraged. Your comment of "keep doing it" is timely and appreciated. I have a overswing (generational pass on) - might that make this drill more difficult? Thank you Paul
This one is great fo me as I have lost confidence at the worrying where the down swing might end up which is why I have only been doing 3/4 + back swings for now. This video will get me back to the top where I should be. Thanks this is a good one.
Yes, this is a good one. Video your swing and you will see lag instantly. Do this one too it's a great drill:
th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/0gOuKQpUl54/w-d-xo.html
Paul, thanks for the quick response.I love the wrist drills.Feels very different and so much better.I can't believe how much better that drill felt.I'm going to work on that and your hip drills.I will get back to you and let you know my progress.Thanks again.
Great to hear!
Thank you Paul for this great lesson,. I have been trying for years to play without a death grip and lag problems I found this lesson to help me out more than any other lesson by far. Worked on the range for about an hour before a round and was hitting the ball much better. One par five I had a to get the ball up a little higher due to trees.... Grabbed 8 iron usually my 150 club hit it 175 to the green, yeah had a 5 mph wind behind me but felt great... Tap in birdie.. looking forward to use this lesson more and play with a lot less pain. Also notice my divots were more even,. Usually my toe is deeper but hey one problem at a time... Thanks again... Ron
You're welcome. This works great to get lag. Problem is the person tries it a few times and stops. This is a drill that needs to be done for a little while. Maybe a week or two until you unlock the arms and get the lag. Once you do, you then keep the club away from the neck. So you take this one in steps and as you see you get the payoff. Keep at it. You are making a huge breakthrough that will take your game to a whole new level.
I have struggled with this very thing and cannot wait to try this drill. Thank you!
You're so welcome! Give it a try and film your swing. Once you do, you will see that you will get lag.
If you don’t have lag you are moving the golf club before you move your body. The arm is extended but not locked. Thank you Paul
For sure. Lag means something is trailing behind something else. If people would only think of that when they swing a club they would actually start moving their body first ... wouldn't they?
@@paulwilsongolf you bet
Everyone talks about the lag but this is the first video that shows how to learn to create lag
Glad you liked it. This is a big part of the swing.
As a learner who struggles to relax as I hit duffer after duffer I am looking forward to trying this drill. I am beginning to improve my body movement without the club but am still inconsistent with the club in hand. Practice, practice, practice and try to hear Paul’s voice to calm me!!!
Very good. Clear thoughts. Don't work on too much at once. Stick to one of two things and master them then move on. As you are working on things you will not hit every shot perfect. It is about making the change. The ball is in the future.
Excellent lag tutorial, Paul. I have an entirely different feel in my swing now, and the ball is coming off the club face like it should. Thank you.
Excellent. Great feeling when that happens.
Hi Paul. I have been trying for years to get lag in my swing, but I had no turn and a deathgrip on the club. I watched your video, then went to the range. Only had time to hit about 15 balls, so I thought Oh well, I'll practice on the course. Success! Not only did it add lag, it freed up my shoulders so I could actually turn! And it released my death grip on the club. Thanks!
Glad you found this one. Lag is important. You need loose wrists to get it so being tight is never going to get you there. Keep doing this drill and you will have it in your swing in no time.
Paul your golf lessons are real helpful my golf game has improved thank you
Glad you are doing well. Keep at it.
Thanks for this! It was worth trying just to get a feel for where the club should be to have good lag without feeling like I'm forcing it.
I'm a pretty new golfer but have played tennis since I was a kid (over 20 years now), so the concept/importance of lag makes sense to me (though I think lag is probably important in almost every sport, to be honest!). I just couldn't find how to make it feel relaxed and reliable.
I definitely didn't expect instant success, but it's been really encouraging to see how much smoother this part of my (very much still in development) swing feels after spending time with this drill.
Yes, this is a vital part of any great swing. Keep working on it and over time it will be in your swing too. Just remember it is about loose wrists. If you are tight and trying to hit with the arms you will never get it.
I think this drill is the best drill someone wants to make smoother swing. most amateur golfers want to have perfect back swing as similar as tiger or rory; they always stretch their left arm in back swing and the results their shot is perhaps going to right it means making slice shot. I want every one knows differences between getting stiff to making power.
I am a korean and english is not my first language, so i cannot express my appreciation out to wilson; his lessons are no words of lie, and i guarantee you that is going to be a single player asap.
Yes, I see this all the time. Way too tight back there. If you are tight at the top you will hit with the arms. Stay loose!
@@paulwilsongolf my arms are always hanging on my body. I struggle do not smash my arms. Thank you paul
Absolutely works...took a couple of small buckets to memorize the motion...club speed increased from 89 to 97
That's great. A change like this will really change your distance thus changing your game. Good job.
Paul after my 2nd right knee replacement in January I'm relearning the golf swing (I was a 7 before the first replacement) I've been using this drill with the belt buckle drill and have dropped my handicap by 4 ( 18 to 14) in this month. THANKS FOR THE TIPS
Very good. You are heading in the right direction. Keep at it. I have taught tons of people with fake knees. Never and issue. So be confident as you work on it.
Thank you for this lesson. I developed a bad habit in casting and found this and now I have a purpose to practice because now I’m contacting the ball. Need muscle memory
Glad you liked it. Just keep doing it. Get lag in no time. Do this drill too:
th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
This answers my previous question about extension of the left arm. Nice presentation.
Very good. Arm extension is a big part of it. Contract and you will you'll do a chicken wing which is definitely not good. Stick to that and do this drill too:
th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
Paul - This is great. I recently got an Acu-strike impact training mat, to help determine where I'm striking the ground (fat!!). This drill had my striking after the ball location within 5 swings. Slow at first, as you stated. Great stuff, need to do this drill daily.... and between shots on the range/course!!
Perfect. Here are a couple more on the subject:
th-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/hAZyQXoIGac/w-d-xo.html
Wow -- a great tip video. This combined with your just rest the club on the neck and move just the body (no ball hitting) puts it all together. Later in the tip you mention not being so stiff trying to maintain that straight left arm -- that is me -- will work now to be less 'rigid' and this drill addresses that also. Thanks!
Yes, loosen up. Never try to keep the left arm too stiff. This is a huge problem affecting a lot of golfers. Extended but not locked.
Thanks a lot. It really helps me to understand what the lag means. Body move first, then club is following! Good point!!
Glad it helped! You've got it.
Can’t wait to try this tip especially with short irons 8-SW. Believe I also need to keep grip pressure light.
Give it a try. My grip pressure is light when I start but increases going back. The difference is, my wrists are loose. Watch: th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html
Hi Paul. Hope you are well! I always come back to this drill; not only does it correct my lag, but also corrects the rhythm and timing. Forces you to take the arms out of the swing.
Everything is good. This is a great one. Glad you tried it and keep doing it. Can't do it with stiff arms so it really is great for not only getting lag but reducing arm strength.
You are by far the most effective teacher with your teaching methods and amazing drills that produce positive results in minutes. Thank you so much Paul. You are awesome
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I just need people to understand it and try it for more than 3 balls. If so, they will be amazed and hopefully they keep doing it. Glad you are.
You made 2 videos that when you tie them together also helps contact with lag…the video on backswing where front shoulder and back hip separate on downswing…and the backswing where the head moves back ( not still ) and then full extension is a foot after contact…with head staying back….so you maintain lag until a foot after contact….it’s cause and effect..just hit first spring bucket and smoked the ball…totally great instruction…
Everything is interconnected. Those were 2 good tips for sure. Glad you put them together and are seeing results. Thanks for the support.
I've had an issue with breaking my left arm for several years and have clearly become an arm swinger. I'm going out today today practice this technique in combination with continued work on my neutral grip.
You don't have to keep it perfectly straight. Watch this one first: th-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Paul it’s not as easy as you make it look. You have a great deal of talent my friend because for those who’ve been at it for awhile, the body swing is the most coveted type swing there is. Only a few like you possess it. Hats off!
Well it is easy. The problem is easy is difficult due to people wanting to hit with the arms. So I am doing my part to explain how you are going to get power if you are not hitting anything. If people get the concept hopefully they try it and get success too.
Paul Wilson Golf I believe that and hope soon to reach a place where the hands and arms act in a more natural way. Like anything else it’s up and down due to the newness. Thanks.
This is tricky and takes work. Keep at it. Just do the drill slowly as I suggest. This is not a race.
Paul Wilson Golf thanks my friend I shall.
the best advice yet...all of your instructional videos are insightful, but this one tops - the simplicity and effectiveness are GREAT...
Wow, thanks! Glad you liked it.
SO GOOD Paul! Great drill once again! What a great way to teach the fundamentals of the golf swing! 👏👏😍
This one is very good. Allows people to get lag right away instead of working on it months or years. The person just has to keep doing it for a while.
I found out this some 10 years ago, but forgot during long winters. It works and IT-support a miracle .
Great. Keep working on it.
Paul..literally two minutes! Two freaking minutes and I am hitting my irons 15-20 yards further. Thanks for the great tip! I wish you would have put this tip out a couple of months ago 😂 Absolutely love all your videos...keep 'em coming!
Good stuff. I don't just spit this stuff out. It is tested with thousands of students over the years. Glad you tried it and got it. More to come.
I got sick of my right shoulder coming over the top today and hooking/slicing everything. On the back nine, I resolved myself to just swing with the body and take my arms out of it. All of a sudden I was hitting dead straight drives that felt like zero effort and started hitting my pitching wedge flush with dollar bill divots! I mean the divot was a work of art. Never have I managed to do that before. And I was actually hitting my driver further. Unbelievable.
Funny how that works. Glad you tried it. Now never stop doing it.
Wow I started doing this with my swing when I started 3 months ago but didn't see any PGA players doing this so I thought its was a fault in my swing but could hit it well 90% of the time I surely going back to this swing thanks man
Glad you're doing it. 90% is great in golf.
Just found this drill and must say it has make wonders with my swing. Provide me with the right feedback to improve my lag and tempo. No jokes it only takes 10 min to see improvements.
Very good. So many people want lag and yet it is so easy to get. The problem is they try this a few times then stop. Got to do this stuff until mastered. Keep at it.
Im a heavier golfer just returning to the sport after a 20 year hiatus. I've been watching some of your videos and they have been helpful. Any specifically made to address the issues I might find physically from being out of shape. After a couple months, I am still in the high 90's.
There is no difference or compensations. I have taught people of all shapes and sizes without issue. Might not physically be able to do a position exactly as I teach it but you need to get a close as you can. Loose wrists and not hitting with arms is key. Then coiling and uncoiling. Legs and hips are the power source. At high 90's you are out of position. Just master the grip and wrists hinge first: th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/w-d-xo.html
loosen up the wrists: th-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/w-d-xo.html
Do this drill until its mastered: th-cam.com/video/cVhtL-d1B9Y/w-d-xo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks so much!! You're awesome!!
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your great tips and advice which has really helped me stop trying to play like the 8 handicap, 50 year old I was 20 years ago, and concentrate instead on trying to play like the 17 handicapper I now am.
I've just played Royal Birkdale here in the UK today in an annual tournament I enjoy. I was mindful all the way round about your tempo and hinging advice in particular. I stopped trying to get on greens in gross regulation and concentrated instead on net regulation golf.
I shot one over net par - my best ever performance on that tough links.
I'm spreading the word about your postings. Keep up the good work.
Bob
That's great. It's recognizing what you were doing was not working. You need to do this sooner rather than later. Now you are on track and seeing results. It will get even better over time. You'll see. Thanks for the promo to others. I appreciate it.
How far do you typically hit your driver? I’m 68 and typically hit it 180-190. Did this drill increase your distance and consistency?
Well, I gotta say, I never even tought about it that way... i've been to around 6 golf lessons in the 2 years I've been playing and, while I understand there are "levels" of progress in which you learn new things, not one teacher has told me this very simple thing
And I have zero lag. I can strike the ball half decently, but not as consistent as I want and no distance compared to some friends.
The comparison side by side of your student was a an eye opener.
Sorry, I overlooked your comment. Hopefully, you kept working on it. If so, you would have perfect lag by now. This is the easiest way to get so if you didn't work on it start again and stop looking for the answer. It it right here.
Wish I would have learned this 50 years ago... but, never to late. Thank you Paul Wilson.
You've been trying to get lag for 50 years? Wow! Now you'll finally have it in 2 mins. Just have to see it differently and try something different. Obviously what you were doing to try to get wasn't working. This is super-simple. Stay focused and you will have it forever.
This is a great video Paul. One of the biggest challenges to my game is lack of distance. I know I need to get more lag but I always fear "losing the clubhead" behind me when I'm about to take my shot. I think it is way more mental than physical. I am going to practice your drill in my yard and then work my way up to trying it on the range this weekend. I know it will feel odd at first but trust this will be a way to add yards to my game.
Thanks. Everyone wants distance few find it. It is about loose wrists (which gets you lag) and turn your body way faster. Focus only on those 2 things. Hinge and rehinge then do some of my body drills and tips.
Grip:
Hinge/Rehinge: th-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/w-d-xo.html
Just look for the body tips. There are too many to list here.th-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/w-d-xo.html just do the wrist hinging and rehinging as mush as possible. This is where you get the power but this is connected to your rotating body.
Hi Paul.This was possibly the best tip you’ve given in a long time.Keep it up.
I guess you haven't been watching all of my other tips. Posted some pretty good stuff over the last almost 4 months.
Enjoyed them all.
Will try this Thursday, I am 55 and only hitting 7 iron 135 yards now, used to be 150 yards. I don't expect to score well the first time out just hoping for increased yardage.
That is because you were just whacking away it with your arms. That told you how strong you are. So now you have lost distance this tells me that you are starting to turn off your arms. Great. Now at some point you need to switch to the other power source (legs and hips) for power. Watch: th-cam.com/video/XzKMsembmGI/w-d-xo.html
thanx paul very much. At the beginning of this video, I wondered how do I know I'm getting lag but at the end u answered my question, use a cam corder n that's what i'll do
See, this is why people need to watch the whole video. I tend to get complainers saying that I repeat myself or the tips are too long. Well, as you found out there are nuggets all throughout the video and especially near the end as I think of it later in the tip. Glad you stuck around to get the answer you were looking for.
You teach golf with a real passion and great deal of knowledge. Thanks again for a great video.
Thanks 👍 I appreciate it.
Thanks Paul. Great lesson I needed.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic feel drill will definitely use this, great as warm up feel.
Great to hear!
Thanks Paul, makes a lot of sense and can’t wait to try this drill! Keep up the great work 👍
Glad to help
Can’t wait to try this. I’m feeling too much tension on my full wedge shots especially.
You can do it!
This is a terrific drill. I play my best when I am kind of loosey goosey like Colin Montgomery. This gets me back in that groove. Thanks. Btw, Harry Vardon had a similar swing
It sure is. Everyone wants lag yet here is a way you can get it in 2 mins. Glad you found it. Give it a try and let us know your results.
It’s so great! Thank you very much! You are my only coach in golf.
Great to hear!
Pro vs Amateur, pros flex their lead arm elbow toward the top of the backswing and the angle increases into impact. Around 8degree at impact. That reduces dynamic loft without adjusting axis tilt or wrist angle. A fully extended left arm leads to hyper extension at the top of the swing and impact. That’s were that achy swollen left elbow comes from.
Well I have helped counted people relieve or eliminate golfer's elbow by loosening up. Who has golfer's elbow? Those with a chicken wing. When you tighten the arms buckle which stretches the tendon on the lead elbow. Once I loosen people up their arms never hurt again. Yes, I really don't like a stiff arm at the top. This tightens everything which is the opposite of what I am trying to get people to do. Not sure if we are on the page with that because my lead arm is most certainly extend at and though impact.
Paul such a simple drill that really works. Thank you. Clive
Glad you liked it. It sure does work. The hard part is getting people to try it. Glad you did.
Paul’s videos are the best.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.
Trying this out this weekend. Thank you sir.
Video your swing and you will see it.
Sounds very sound! I will try this tomorrow morning.
Works like magic. Do this drill too:
th-cam.com/video/tHipoVuEzI4/w-d-xo.html
Most amazing drill ever. I was only hitting nerf golf balls against the house but they were rocketing off the club face. The club was literally almost torn from my hands at follow through. I shot video and sure enough, there was as much lag as your pro swing. I noticed that with the shaft on my neck at the top I was way past parallel and there was no way I was able to use my arms to start the swing. The body did it all. And my lead arm straightened on its on during the downswing. The only issue was some lead arm chicken winging and I swung with flat feet but I can work that out.
If you notice a difference in power that's great. Chicken wing is you tightening just before you hit it. Watch: th-cam.com/video/7o65z_pd28s/w-d-xo.html
Paul Wilson Golf Practicing the easy swing and stopping trying to hit the ball with my arms eliminated the chicken wood and the club also shallowed on the downswing without any conscious effort.
Funny thing i was hitting back of my neck exactly as your drill suggests to try to create lag in actual rounds and it worked to get way higher and further irons im 6 foot 7...if u do that drill and bring the club tight from inside like Furyk u hit blades amazingly! Im a bogie golfer but no kidding hit 7 pars in row doing that...no reason for me to hit blades only shows me if if hitting small sweet spot if i can do it with blades will translate amazingly to mid capper clubs...
Very good. This is so simple and will totally loosen you up. Loose is the key.
I stumbled upon this a couple years ago when I was struggling with a hook. I found that when I let the driver shaft touch my neck, the hook was instantly cured and I was driving the ball straighter and farther than ever.
That's great that you tried it. The hook was coming from a strong grip probably tightening your wrists. Once you hit the shoulder you fully hinged the club into more of a square position.
Great tip can't wait to get on the range to work on this.
Good luck!
Paul, big fan ever since the swing machine days. Was one of my favorite golf swing books for years, but somehow never saw this drill. When I do this drill it feels like I am leaving the club up top as I unwind the body. Is that the correct feeling?
Glad you're still with me. Yes, I thought of this quite a few years ago now but not way back. I have numerous versions of this tip now. I would suggest doing it regularly to loosen your arms. Watch:

Amazing, I'll give this a try this week.
Yes, this one works instantly. The problem is the person not wanting to keep doing it so they go right back hitting and no lag. I would want the person doing this until they get used to it then into the future start keeping it away from the neck.
Love this guy! Your approach is amazing!!! Thank you for this video.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.
Something else for me to be practicing. Thank you.
You can do it!
Very nice explanation.
Too good.
Thanks going to try now outside.
What does the other person talking about hip drill.
Didn’t get it.
Thanks again
Glad you liked it. Here is the hip drill: th-cam.com/video/bhuWpD-1hvg/w-d-xo.html
I tried this drill, yes you are right it is great drill it has given me 10/15 yards ìnstantly
Good stuff. This is a big position in the swing which most amateurs don't have. This alone will make a huge difference. Glad you tried it.
I videoed my swing today and decided to quit the game it was so bad. Thanks for posting this. I’m going to try it tomorrow and start again. (I’ve quit dozens of times).
No need to quit. I have helped countless people in your shoes hit he ball better than ever. Simple is the key. Just do a few simple things and in no time you will have it back. Keep in mind the main issue is hitting with arms. Couple this with working on too many things etc. and it all falls apart. Let me know what your ball is doing and I will get you back on track. In the mean time you can work on lag but I would be working on loosening up the arms first. Loose arms and you get lag as you see in the video you can't even do it if your arms are locked up.
Do this too:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul. I videoed myself again this morning and then hit some balls and had a very noticeable increase in club head speed without any extra effort. I’m so glad I found your channel.
That great. You are on your way. Stay focused and stay loose! This is huge key.
@@paulwilsongolf practice swings seem nice and relaxed but when I put a ball on the ground it does funny things to my brain
That is because you are trying to hit perfect shots. You need to tee it up and swing at no more than 50%. Get it then speed up the lower body for more power not the arms. Do this drill until mastered:

Also, never purposely hit down on the ball. Watch:

Hi Paul. Great videos thanks mate. This lag video is a winner. Do you have an opinion of the worth or otherwise of the the swing aid known as LAGSHOT SWING TRAINER
Glad you liked it. As far as training aids go I haven't used that one. I don't use them. The only one I promote is this one ignitiongolf.com/ultimate-swing-trainer/
Simple example, effective results! What every one wants!!
Exactly. Can have it in 2 mins.
Cela est très éducatif, reste plus qu'à tester, merci
Content que tu aies aimé. Merci
Thanks Paul great tip and looking forward to the range and trying this out.. Is the same true for irons, "touch your neck"?
Glad you liked it. Thanks. You can try it with irons too. One swing all clubs.
After watching your videos and many others for a couple yrs it finally snapped. I’m hitting all clubs 30 yards longer
Very good. Got to use the looseness for power.
i've seen enough in 2 of your videos to want to know more, so i sunscribed.
Glad to have you on board. My students and followers get amazing results. Keep watching or let me know what you are having trouble with and I will send you links to videos.
Love it Paul! I’ll try it!
This is a good one. It will work for you too.
This looks really good, need to try this
Yes, try it and in 2 mins you will have lag.
I think your lessons are excellent
Thanks. Glad you like them.
If you combine this with the back to ball hip drill that should really create good feeling
Nice one. Give it a try.
What a great drill so simple just perfect
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
