The Simplicity of the Golf Swing (Finally Understand It)

➜ Learn A Powerful, Effortless, Pain-Free Golf Swing:

In this tip, I'm talking about the simplicity of the golf swing. It's just mass swinging around an axis. If you understand it you will be able to learn a simple golf swing that will hit amazing shots.

Too many people are making the golf swing way to complicated. Simple is the key. I remember years ago I used to diagnose every position of the swing. This got me nowhere. Once I understood the simplicity of the golf swing it all changed. I was like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders.

I still think of a simple golf swing to this day. In no way do I want to make it complicated. This is why I say things the way I do. I know others teach it differently but once you see the simplicity of the golf swing you really will take you game to a level you never thought possible.

Folks, I've got to let you all know something. I visited with Paul and went to Bears Best in May
I learned the principles, worked my tail off (not hitting balls) and Saturday the 12th of August won my club championship in my flight. Before these principles were taught to me my scores were around 91 to 95. I'm 62 years old. 36 holes in the club 78, from a course that played 7318 yards. Wanna cut down on your headache this technique.

Thanks Paul, awesome visual explanation. Your lessons for us seniors are second to none.

Paul, your vids/advice put all these other YouTube instructors on a lower level. Not that they don't have sound advice, but it's their presentation...too verbal, too technical, too complex. It's not that you dumb things down, it's that you explain it simply and directly so that practicing the drills equates to real time improvements in a very short while. Your grip, hip turn, and 50 % effort vids are essential to the average golfer's quest to improve. You've helped me elevate my game for sure. I've gone from not playing for 7 years and starting back with a 18.2 handicap to someone shooting in the low 80's/ high 70's in just 3 weeks, but that's because I'm out PRACTICING WITH A PURPOSE, not just going through the motions. Every swing my mantra is 50% as my pre shot routine has me swinging 3 to 4 times and doing the hip turn before focusing on the grip and then addressing the ball. Thank you sir.

Appreciate your easy and simple tips, I benefitted a lot from it, thank you Paul

[mossbergshockwave]

You've really helped me out ive unknowingly hitting with my arms all my life focusing on my takeaway to impact not really caring about follow through. Now i get my body involved and cross it over and i can hit it a ways when i do it right need to hit some balls. Thanks. What helps me hit it well is swinging back and forth like a clock real lose then address the ball and repeat that motion.

[tysongarrett]

Ive added this as my preshot routine....swinging knee high couple of times....a big reinforcer!

[masta_fu]

I'm not gonna lie. I thought I had learned nothing from this and then I started trying it. Thank you so much. My hits don't curve to the right anymore. That was great lol

I was watching LIV and they showed Mito Pereira and David Puig driving off the tee in slow motion from a facing view. Since I follow Paul, what I noticed immediately was even though both generate tons of club head speed, their wrists were nothing more than oily hinges. The youthful power they generated with their hips and legs was all focused on the pivot point of their wrists, which remained loose. It was an incredible display of power and pliancy in the same motion.

You always amaze me how well you explain it and yet that’s what you’ve been teaching from the beginning ❤

[timconrad]

Thanks Paul ! Another great way to understand how the swing can work staying relaxed, I think I am finally starting to get the right feel, thanks again.

[method]

Paul, I got sick of slicing it so started rolling the wrists over on purpose like you advised. Now I am drawing the ball and it's about starting it straight or to the right of target. Keeping the head behind the ball at impact seems to be key. Thanks for your tips. The ball has a nice penetrating flight instead of the weak right shots I used to hit with an open face. I am excited to play golf now, not dreading it!

[flyingfree]

@Paul Wilson. Wow, thanks for this video. The image that gives my mind is perfect for translation to body. I've definitely noticed, that abrupt firing on the down swing is key, that abruptness also helps with the lateral/hip rotation move to the front foot. peace love light

[paulmccaskill]

All I can say about Paul's tips and lessons is that I'm always collecting $$$ at the end of every round. No longer do I have a weak 150 yard slice that killed my round. I have confidence in my swing and hit each club longer and straighter than ever before. Thank you Paul💯🏌️‍♂️😊

[desmondmoss]

I’ve been doing this for 5 range sessions straight. I’ve never hit the ball more consistently and flush in 30 years. It’s so easy on my body. I can hit balls all day.

[wimplesaur]

I discovered this purely by accident whilst experimenting on the practice ground trying to get more consistency. I wasn’t looking for more power. Interestingly I got both. I’ll look more into this method.

[andrewjohnson]

Hey Paul, love your simple approach and have been trying to find that loose swing, (watching and applying your vids for over a year). Not sure if this is a common issue but i can turn my arms off at the range and even when doing preshot routine however when i step up to the ball its like my muscle memory takes over and i end up pulling with my arms. Any suggestions in terms of swing thought that have helped students with this when on the course?

[zeroherogolf]

100% spot on. If you don't move your body fast enough in the change of direction, the club will likely bottom out too soon and hit the ground behind the ball OR you'll stand up and flick at the ball. The club must be traveling in the upswing while the hips fire the downswing. This will set the wrist cock even deeper and the ball should come off the club head smokin' hot. BUT, regardless, you must be video-ing the swing to truly know what you are doing right and wrong. I see way too many people on the range pounding balls day after day but never video themselves. They never improve, and I believe they don't want to see how bad their swing is, so they keep on trying quick fixes instead of facing the music and putting in the work. A golfer should always want evidence based changes.

[bayougolf]

Agree

So much energy and distance lost by just using your arms to hit the ball

Learn the feeling of the whole body moving in time and unisys with the arms being slung into its completed position attacking the ball

Now that’s a punch

[pampoen]

Hello Paul, I am sending you this message all the way from South Africa 😊. I purchased your Body Swing and some of the other products about 3 years back and my game has really improved. I am down to a 9 handicap. I recommend you products to just about everyone I play with 😊.
The only thing I cannot find a fix for is when I fire my lower body and my arms come down the "Y" from the arms get created before I hit the ball and not after as you explained in you other videos. Basically I end up with no or even backwards shaft lean. Its like my upper body stays to far behind my lower when I fire my legs. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

What do you change with a Left hip replacement?
