In this tip I follow up on the first tip I did called Effortless Golf Swing. In it, I showed how easy I could swing yet generate some serious power. After I posted it, there were some people who commented on the video saying the launch monitor was not accurate etc.

See my Effortless Golf Swing tip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwpdkuC3H_k

After seeing these comments I decided to do this follow up. This time I have one of my students hit a few shots using his real swing. Then I hit shots with my easy swing again. In doing so you can see the comparison between my easy swing and his normal swing and what power I can generate.

Now there is no doubting or second guess the fact that if you swing easy you can generate just as much if not more power than trying to hit hard with your arms.

After you watch this tip immediate start to lighten up your arms when you swing. Hit some easy shots with a feeling of nothing. Once you hit it half decently, increase only the speed of your body rotation to hit the ball farther.

Into the future use your legs to hit the ball not your arms. If you do you will save your body plus you will play the best golf of your life.

  3. Hey firstly thanks. I have been changing my out in swing with a golf
    instructor for last three months. Even had a very expensive video lesson
    with former PGA pro. Before the lessons I occassionally hit 230m or so with
    my 10.5 deg driver but inconsistently hence the reason for the lesson in my
    search to be a single handicapper. The lessons that focused on backswing
    and downswing helped a little with the smoothness of my swing but nothing
    that I can take to the course. My driver distance was going down to about
    200-210m in the meantime.
    I had one look at your video this morning before going out for my weekly
    round and I was booming them 250m straight down the fairway by the end of
    the round (last three holes definitely). I did have to aim bit to the
    right. So a 50m distance improvement after just one bleary eyed look at
    your 10min video.
    Obviously other aspects of my swing was working well and it just needed
    your input re legs but still amazing. You should be congratulated. Paul S
    Kwon, Sydney, Australia.

  4. This, in my humble opinion, is one of the best golf instruction videos on
    YT. Once you’ve got a good grip and setup this will get you enjoying the
    game. I’ve been working with the Pro after serious wrist injury and this is
    what he’s been trying to instil in me. Thanks Paul, great stuff.

  9. Best lesson on getting a faster swing speed on Youtube!..because you see a
    mid-handicapper actually doing it!…the rest are just professional golfers
    posing in front of a camera, teaching you nothing ultimately!

  10. Hi Paul Great tip could not wait to get out on the range to try this out
    with some good results, will have to do this regularly from now on. Thanks 

  11. Realize this is a very old video but I saw a kid doing this in Asia. I
    mimicked him and it worked well. Now I see your video, it’s the same
    idea. Great reinforcement for me. Thanks.

  13. I have your Swing Machine Golf video series, Paul. My average score went
    from 100+ to mid eighties. I no longer slice, and in fact now have the
    ability to shape shots any direction I want. I don’t have extreme
    distance, but I have a better scorecard than most of the people I play with
    because of you. Thank you, you kept me from walking away from this game.
    To anyone watching this video and wondering if it really works, I implore
    you to just try it. When you get the hang of it, and that shot splits the
    fairway, I guarantee, you’re hooked.

  15. Thanks Paul, look forward to implementing your advice! I’m sure it will
    result in improved swing speed & distance. Miss your instruction on
    Revolution.

  20. 2 years of golf lessons as a teen never helped my drive. Watched this video
    and my drives literally went from about 250 to 280-290 overnight. Thank you
    so much.

  21. Not sure why your stance was very close together. I certainly don’t promote
    this. With a normal stance it should not take you that long to gain
    balance. Just keep at it.

  23. This is because you are trying to hit the ball with the hands and arms. The
    hard you hit, the tighter they get, the more open the clubface. You need to
    let them roll over by loosening up. I like people to roll the wrists over
    from the top of the backswing down and through impact. This gets it
    hooking. Once they person can do this they straighten it out by adding
    lower body. Check out my site Ignition Golf dot come for more tips on this.

  25. Thanks Paul for this excellent lesson and drill. It was the missing piece
    for my swing. Everything about my swing was smooth and effortless except
    for the wrists…too much tension and as for the hips…. so much more
    speed. I will NEVER be a long ball hitter but I’ve gained more yards
    because of this clip. It is my new preshot routine. Playing to a 6 last
    year, I’m sure to lower ot now. Thanks for your insight!

  26. Hi Paul, I’m 75 and had my speed swing analyzed today and it was 55 mph. I
    am an 18 handicap. Used to be able to hit a 7 iron 145 yards. I’ve had both
    knees replaced last year and have just started to play golf again. Watched
    your video on Youtube as to how to increase swing speed as was impressed
    with your tips about keeping the wrists loose and to fire the hips. Plan to
    try these tips tomorrow and hopefully will find some success in increasing
    my swing speed. Thanks.

  27. only legs that can touch are severely bowed legs. To get it just throw some
    balls overhand out in front of you will a 7 iron stance. If you so they
    will touch perfectly. This is the move you need in your swing.

  28. You are shifting your weight to the forward leg too fast. If your upper
    body tilts left in the downswing you will hit it left. You need to fire the
    lower body but in doing so your upper body should be staying behind the
    ball.

  32. Typically when people hit irons they try to hit down on the ball. Hitting
    down occurs through the right fundamentals not from purposely hitting down.
    Focus on the looseness in the wrists as well as coiling and uncoiling the
    body and you should be fine.

  33. I’m very tight and have never been able to get to 90 degrees. So it just
    shows you that you can still generate lots of power with limited turn. I am
    really driving my legs hard to get this plus I have a good lag angle. Turn
    back as much as you can turn back with a stable base. Don’t go more than
    you can go. Check out my Ignition Golf website. I have tons of tips on this
    there.

  39. Paul, Your technique really works for me – loose wrists to promote the
    whipping action upon impact. I am used to “weak grip” – I feel that this
    would somewhat impede the whipping action. Then I experiment with “strong
    grip” – this would promote whipping action better – I get longer distance.
    Is it correct that strong grip is better for whipping action ??? Thanks !!!

  41. Paul, thanks again for this follow up video. I have been working on the
    looser swing and have now been concentrating on my hip turning to increase
    the swing speed. This is amazing stuff. Thank you for this. This is gold

  46. Exactly, As soon as you put a ball in front of someone they want to hit it
    which tightens them up. I am never trying to hit anything. I know it will
    be hit if I make the move.

  47. Paul – Comparing Pat’s 93 mph swing with your 97 mph swing at the point in
    the downswing where the hands are just off the right hip, you’ve retained
    about 45* more “lag”. That, IMO, is the difference. I do the same darn
    thing as Pat. Our brains are telling us we’ve got to get the head of the
    club moving down if we expect to make contact. What the heck can we do? Roy

  49. I actually use this method not for swing speed, but to straighten out my
    drive. I started loosening the wrists and throwing my hands at the ball and
    all of the sudden my slice disappeared!
