Senior Golfers: How To Get More Distance

Here is a great tip that shows senior golfers how to get more distance. If you are a senior golfer getting more distance is priority one. This tip shows you how to know if you are too tight and how to loosen up so you get more clubhead speed which results in more distance.

The great majority of golfers that come to me for lessons are senior golfers. I have literally seen it all but one thing keeps cropping up in most senior golf swings. I show you exactly what it is in this tip so if you do this you are simple hitting the ball with your arms using brute force. This will never get you more clubhead speed.

For senior golfers to get more clubhead speed you need to swing looser not harder. So once you know that you are all locked up do the drill I show in this tip. If you can do this you will start to loosen your arms because you cannot do this with tight arms. Loosen up your arms then you will start to see more distance on all of your shots.

I'm 84 years old, and am a recent subscriber. Most YouTube golf instructional videos usually screw up my game more than it's already screwed up, mainly because I wind up thinking too much instead of just swinging. What I love about your instructions is that you keep it so simple, without overwhelming us with technical stuff. Best of all, IT WORKS. Thank you so much for putting some joy back in my game.

It’s working for me Paul! I take the bucket challenge every time I go to the range. I’ve done it for the last 4 trips to the range. It’s getting better every trip. Good info seniors!

I am turning 75 soon. Thanks for pointing out the many things that happens as one gets older. “Loose” is very important to get more distance.

Just wanted to thank you for unlocking my swing. I'm 64 and have been working on swing speed. I was knocking myself out trying to swing harder. My 75 year old friend out drives me regularly, and once in awhile I can keep up with him. I was watching him swing on the range just ahead of me and thought, "His swing looks like that drill Paul Wilson does." We compared club head speed with my portable monitors and he is consistently 90-92 mph while I am 82-88. So just for the hell of it, I worked your drill, then thought, I'll hit a ball doing the drill too. I'll leave you with this, after about ten goes, my club head speed went from 88 to 90 to 93 on my last drive, 251.3 yards! I can't wait to play with him and my guys again! None of us hit much past 220 ever.

My father and I just discovered your channel and we're thrilled. Your videos are excellent. My father (76 years old, 6'3" and 215 pounds) and I were playing golf Saturday afternoon. I was standing behind him and noticed when he took his practice swing his upper and lower body finished in the same position they were at address with his hands and club passing his body. I realized he was giving up speed and power as he was not turning his hips and getting a full finish. I encouraged him to get his hips turned through and finish with his chest/belt buckle toward the target. He immediately started hitting his drives better and farther. He outdrove the twosome we were playing with on the last hole. We realized we were on to something. My father searched "hip turn" on YouTube and found your channel. We're now both hooked. Great content. I have forwarded this video to him too. We look forward to watching many more of your videos.

Paul your explanations are so relatable and the remedies are achievable with practice. I had no idea how much tension or rigidity I had in my arms, particularly with the driver until I started watching your material. I was absolutely finishing with driver pointing to the sky, I knew it but didn’t have a solution until now. Thank you

[joelferretti]

Thank you so much Paul. While working through one of your lessons concerning the follow through, it was amazing how much more fluid the swing felt and the better I hit the ball.

[pauljaynes]

I tried this method at home for 4 days then played and shot the best game of my life. I am not a good putter. Last week I had 27 putts on 18 holes. 9holes were 1 putts. Best tip I ever had . Thank you very much .

[yumndxh]

Thanks for rescuing my swing Paul. A great tip indeed!😊

[aulusa]

Hi Paul
I've taken lessons from Steve and you over the last few years. Great instructions and so much easier on the body. I think the magic age is 60+ for losing distance not strength. Bad golf swing/technique loses distance. Thanks again for the solid lesson!

[steves]

Lol! this is too true and too funny! Today I will be the loose 70yr old! Thank You!

[djd]

I am going to look for this starting today! Great tip, Paul!

[randymorris]

Paul,
I had a bad chicken and no power. I was trying to kill it with no power. Then I slowed down, what a difference that made. Thank you, Thank you. Randy

[kevinvoiselle]

Great video! At 64, I’m definitely losing distance as well as accuracy. Can’t wait to get to the range. Plus it doesn’t help that I play with some of my son’s college friends who play football!! lol. Damn kids.

[waynetobey]

Awesome advice I actually just picked up 30 plus yards off the tee and it’s because I’m trying to rotate the hips and follow thru

[jerryk]

Excellent lesson..I am 76 and this video is me!....

[erichoward]

Hey coach
I actually hit the senior shaft myself, and I slowed my swing down not trying to go up there and kill it and without a fitter I figured out that the senior shaft is the best for me and I gained so much distance .

And I look out the corner of my eye 👀

[jamesbarr]

Another very good tip.
Contrary to received opinion, though, I would recommend lifting the left heel to enhance the relaxed approach you advise.

[bigallis]

As always Paul, another great tip from you for us seniors. Thank

[thomascollins]

Paul, played a round yesterday after a full week of practicing/drilling the Body Swing everyday. Hit a few 20 yard longer drives, wrist were to active or didn’t turn enough on two drives that hooked left the others were down the middle. My iron play was much improved, straight and no fade, in fact the biggest problem I had was distance control, irons were flying to the back of the green and a couple went over. Need to adjust my distances now and work on putting. Great results. Do you have a video on up hill/down hill lies? Thank you.
