Golf Wrist Release Drill for More Clubhead Speed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2020
- Here's a popular wrists release drill to help you get more clubhead speed. This one is sometimes called the L to L drill. I have a couple other tips posted that also explain it too. So what makes this tip different? Well, it shows you a close up of my wrists both left and right hands as I do the drill so you can follow along and learn how to release the golf club.
Free samples from my Body Swing book and video series here: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
The release in your swing is responsible to generating clubhead speed. Too many people are just trying to hit the ball with the arms. The problem is, this tightens your wrists. The tighter your wrists the slower the club swings.
So you need to understand the club head speed is not coming from hitting hard with the hands and arms. It is coming from the looseness of the wrist. This doesn't mean you are so loose that you are letting go of the club though. You need a secure grip and loose wrists. If so, you will get the club releasing.
Grab a club and follow along with this tip so you will know if you're doing it right. Once you learn it, you need to do this drill nightly around the house. Try to do 25 repetitions minimum. Over time, you will have done it thousands of times and finally loosen up your wrists give you more clubhead speed than ever.

Hello Paul I have been watching your body swing lessons for the last 3 years now, my golf game has improved a lot, shooting many times below 90. Thank you so much. I am 78 years old now and wish I've known your video lessons during my early days playing golf.
So glad you are doing well. Thanks for the support. Keep at it.
This is a very underrated drill and video. Too many instructors simply *say* things like “don’t cast the club,” or “let the toe turn over,” but they flat out fail to understand that 99% of people have no idea what that means, causing them to drag the club through impact with the face wide open. No one bothers to actually *show* what it means to turn your hands over and how it’s really done. Very pleased to see this, and I can’t wait to share.
Thanks so much. This is a huge piece of the swing. This is where you get the power. Too many people seem to think everything is flipping. I guess they can't cure flipping so they avoid stuff like this. Get this and your whole game will change.
@@paulwilsongolf So true Paul. I play with guys who aren't that athletic or strong, but they really have a nice release like you have and they are really consistent with their irons. Even with shorter swing due to age and lack of flexibility they really generate a lot of hand speed. A lot of them still play 6500 or so....
I’ve been playing golf for over a year.. watched hundreds of videos and I am so glad I have found your channel. You are the only one who is talking about the wrist hinge. I had no idea and was trying too hard to manipulate the club face at impact causing my path to be in to out. Thank you so much for sharing this drill!
Glad you found me. The hinge is vital. Too many people (when learning as an adult) want to just smash the ball as hard as possible. This tightens the hinge losing power and consistency. Just keep watching my tips and you will build a great swing in no time.
Bob Ross of golf. Could watch this all day.
I've heard that before. Not a bad guy to be compared to. Thanks so much.
Hi Paul, I'm a middle aged guy in Australia. You have completely changed my golf swing. For about 40 years I've had the same swing, trying too hard, struggling with distance etc. Once I allowed myself to 'let it go' and really trust the loosening of my wrists in the swing, I reckon I'm hitting my irons around 30 or 40 yards longer, and the crisp feeling I've now got, and as you described, for the first time ever I'm taking divots...wow, seriously you've changed the entire way I think about my swing. I love how I can now flick my wrists through at impact! Thanks again and all the best. I've watched lots of stuff on UA-cam about improving swings etc but you really seem to have nailed it with the free and easy wrist movement. Russ
So glad you found me and made the changes. You are saying all of the right things and you are seeing the results so please keep at it. I have a pretty good following in Australia. If you see some effortless swingers they are probably following me. Keep your eye out and keep up the good work.
Isn't it amazing? I used to play a 11 wood because I hit my 6 iron like 160 yards. It was pathetic for my age and size, etc... With Paul's videos/training I can smack greens around 195 or so out with my 6 now and I don't have to carry that embarrassing 11 wood anymore.
Thanks Paul
I've been doing this drill while watching TV , baseball, golf whatever.
Really working well for me
Love the way Paul implores everyone to "put in some work".
Improvement doesn't come without effort!
Very good. This is what it takes. In no time you should have loose wrists. Then power the swing with your body.
Your one of the greatest instructors on the Web. Thanks Paul
Thanks so much.
Great one Paul. I love the POV. It would have been cool to see a ball on the ground during that POV as well. I appreciate ur videos. 👍
Thanks 👍 I didn't want to hit the ball. Couldn't see anything I was doing as I shot this.
I've been struggling with my swing for a long time and lost my touch but and after watching this video you've helped me find that smooth effortless swing and connection with the ball again. Dropped my handicap and even help me get my first eagle the other day. Very helpful thank you👍 immediate fan here.
Very good. Glad to help. We all lose it. Typically it is from hitting harder and harder. Stay focused so you don't lose it in the future:

Excellent instruction as always Paul. Practiced hinge & re-hinge, and higher hands at the top all week in the backyard. Mostly driver, but a little 7i also. Range tomorrow morning, trying to not get too excited, and keep my expectation in check.
Thanks. The payoff will come soon.
The way you explain things is so easy to understand. You are not overcomplicating things and this is with all your videos! Thanks for making it so much easier.
Glad you like them! Simple and memorable is the key for sure.
Paul your videos are great. I greatly improved as an 8 handicap. I have had several great games and out of nowhere I am hitting everything left again yet I feel I am following your tips. Crazy
You are starting your arms first in the downswing. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/sbE-hzTXgNo/v-deo.html
That POV is fantastic teaching technique. Thank you 😃
Glad you liked it! Shows you exactly what I'm doing.
Paul, I subscribed to your work several years ago, but got away from leading with the lower body being my one thought. Caught you again on You Tube yesterday. Warmed up on range before my round with that one thought and shot 78. Thank you!
Glad you're back. Now we won't be making that mistake again right?
4:01 - Was great to see your tail hand grip from that view, perfect!
Pretty cool view in general. Thought of it after I shot the neutral grip tip.
I don't know how you could ever make this any clearer than that. Superb POV angle shot of what is actually happening with the hinging of the hands as a unit. Yes it's a drill but a lot of golfers let go as you clearly showed, this makes it perfectly clear how the wrists move freely without letting go.
Exactly. I thought these would be great videos so people could follow along. This is a huge part of the swing.
Watched this video went and golfed the most enjoyable game I've ever played although my score wasn't the greatest. I was effortlessly hitting the ball further than ever before. Thanks Paul Wilson🥰
Well done! It all about having more fun. Keep at it.
Paul, what a nice swing system, the best instruction on UA-cam, everything is FACT backed by experience.
I THANK YOU SO MUCH! Ed 86 YO. I ALSO FOLLOW ALONG WITH YOUR SWING MACHINE GOLF MANUAL.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Glad you are still with me. Be sure to follow these tips. My seniors seem to want to hit with arms and chop of their swings. You don't have to be strong to be loose.

Some pearls of wisdom on gripping correctly here!
It all starts with the grip. Get his right and you don't need to add other flaws to your swing.
Just found your channel and am loving the videos! I’m having a terrible time releasing the club (open-face, spray sideways, etc). Will be doing this drill later today! Thanks!
Glad you found me. Yeah, the release is a huge key. You hit it with the face open and you are too tight. I would watch this first:

One of the most important videos of the golf swing.
It sure is. Glad you see it. Loose wrists are going to give you speed and consistency if you don't try to manipulate the face.
I think this is the drill I need. My driver seems to be topped out at 220-230 right now. I'm very new at golf, but this was great instruction. Easy to understand.

I love it, hinge and rehinge allows me to have a natural lag without trying. Increased club head speed and longer iron shots. In addition, it fixed my fat shots.
Glad you found this tip. Hinge/rehinge is a huge part of the swing. Keep at it.
Great watching your tip I have just started playing September last year I have just got my handicap of 25 and was playing with a lad who plays off 6 today and his was impressed who far my driver's with such a low looking swing speed out driving him on 4 to 5 hole's 👍👍
Nice. That must have been a great feeling. Just stay focused. At a 25 you need some work on the fundamentals. Just remember it is your legs and hips that power the swing. You hinge and reghinge coil and uncoil your body. That is the simplicity of it.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks mate 👍
Thanks Paul. Have been struggling with my irons. Practiced your drill and hit some nice irons over here in Scotland this morning. Will practice this from now on. Thanks again and best of luck.
Yes, this is a key piece of what I teach. Need loose wrists to get the clubhead speed. I would watch these one too. You can just do them at home every day:

Scotland. Never been. Maybe someday.
You'd be very welcome.
I watched some of your video tips and then went out and hit a bucket and played a round. All I focused on was the hinging and unhinging of my wrists. I can't believe the difference. I definitely gained between thirty and fourty yards. I will work on lag and the back foot but for now, I am ecstatic. Thank you.
Very good. All people have to do it try it like you did. With that much gain why would anyone want to go back to hitting hard. Keep at it.
This drill/thought saved my swing! I had seriously lost it for about 2 weeks and was devastated. From a 5 index to not being able to hit it out of my shadow. Thank you so much! You saved my game!
I started out with little half shots and the ball was flying off the face. The swing got bigger and it stuck! High straight shots!
Glad to help. I would think you go swinging a little too hard and your wrist tightened. This loosens you up for sure. Just see the wrists as a hinge. A hinge is loose. If you find yourself tightening up then oil the hinge.
Hi Paul, Great thanks for your tips, it works great for me on any clubs. I have been suffering the slice from my driver shots for many years, I tried this way in these days, it is unbelievable, it solved my problems. Appreciate your help! Any tips about the putting?
I do have some on putting, they dont seem to have the excitement from viewers as some other videos. Check this one out though: ua-cam.com/video/zW3ZC3QwQek/v-deo.html
The camera shot looking down on your wrists is genius.

I have consistency after follow your coaching , your are great really
That's great to hear. Good job.
I watched this video the other day as releasing club has been a big issue for me. Both Club pros say my back swing is almost perfect, my grip is great, and my practice swings look pro, however when I go to hit i just don't release and try to power the ball. Last 2 or 3 days I started really working on this and including it in my workouts. Went and hit driver today and I went from a 90mph Club head speed to 100mph. I also added 10 mph to ball speed up to over 140 and have a beautiful draw. This was based on indoor trackman simulator so those numbers are real. IT is a work in progress but even the club pros were amazed.. My best most powerful swing was upwards of 105 mph with almost 150 mph ball speed but it over drew a little which would have been playable but was a hook. That is the miss now. People over look the release too much. Especially stronger muscular guys like me who think slap shot instead of tennis racket. Thanks again. Going to keep working on it.
Glad you found me and started to loosen up. As you can see this is a huge key for power. Something that is looser swing faster than something that is tight. Be careful. If you have a strong grip with loose wrists you will hook it. So be sure to be neutral. Keep the looseness then do this too:
ua-cam.com/video/x1NehGi8tyI/v-deo.html
Oh yeah, see how little effort it takes me to get to 100mph:
ua-cam.com/video/O9jr3G1FF6M/v-deo.html
If I can do that you most certainly can too. My wrists are super loose though.
This is a perfect drill and a great video thanks!! Can you show the difference between this and a flip?
I will put it on the list. Thanks.
This works great! This really works to increase effortless club head speed. I found that my forearms had to rotate as well to make this move / hinge efficient. Thanks for the video. Mike.
Great to hear! I thought this would clarify things.
Paul, luv your vids. I would like to see a solid strike vid from you regarding irons. Iron position at impact etc. I have your system and luv it. I've increased my swing speed on my driver from 88 to averaging 101-106. What a difference that has made. But I'm struggling with proper impact on my irons, been working on lag but I still feel like I'm casting them because my ball flight is high. Any simple drills to help me get my hands ahead of clubhead at impact would be greatly appreciated. Thx Tom
Thanks. I appreciate the support. That's a great increase. It shows that it can be done. Contact with irons comes from the right fundamentals. I will get into it more into the future. Loose wrists is vital. If you don't have lag your wrists are most certainly too tight. Hinge and rehinge with a secure grip. Do this constantly.
i started do this after you posted this video he has changed my game life is great...my game is on right track now
Very cool. Please keep me posted on your progress.
@@paulwilsongolf I did your drills while i was playing today an i made my friends cry for mercy i won all the money this weekend i said watch Paul he help you he telling all kind of different stuff
im so excited about this new swing im not hurting no were near like i was
i hit some 280 drives yea its summer time but still good for me straight as a arrow felt like butter been long time i hit ball like this
Paul, I'm cheap and won't pay for lessons. After a year of screwing around I went out yesterday and shot a par on 3 different holes! Still wasn't close to breaking 100 but it feels great! Also, your first person camera shot in the video is really good, you should definitely do that more!
I am definitely going to do more videos with the 1st person, it came out pretty cool. Havent really seen others do it. Keep up the good work and a few pars will soon turn into 18 pars! Thanks for Watching!!
I know if already done this before, but a video on when and how the hips lead the swing sequence would be great!
I'll get more into hip in the future. I have a few posted:

@@paulwilsongolf Awesome, thanks Paul!
great action shot of the hinge ⭐
I am definitely doing more video like this into the future.
@@paulwilsongolf Great!!
Great drill. Definitely has helped. ? I Keep working it. But naturally regress back to old motion. How can I keep the sync tempo and mental consistency? Thanks for your input? Learning and improving!
You need your body to tell your arms how fast to swing. Your body moves slow in life so it is pretty simple to repeat the same tempo. You base it on hitting you are dealing with larger numbers to it is hard to have the exact same tempo. Mental - you need to change how you think. You are not hitting anything. If you lose it immediate go back down to 50% and build it up again to a level you can handle. I am not thinking of hitting anything. I allow the body too tell the arms where to swing. So you need to start thinking like this. Once you hit the top in no way do you hit or help the shot with your arms. Way easier to move your body the same way each time.
paul, that's a cool way to view the hand action. so in the actual swing do you kinda throw the clubhead by using leverage or is centrifugal releasing the the club? thnx.
Awesome video makes great since
Glad you enjoyed it
I think I’m coming back to far in my back swing cause when I play by the time I get to hole five the back side of my left shoulder is already starting to ache or not enough body rotation maybe I can shot you a video sometime and you can see what I’m doing wrong. Thanks. We like the videos very helpful keep them coming
I really want to learn this swing I'm always push slice or slicing my driver, at the start of the year I had a lesson to swing out to the right and release the club but I started to early release and scoop the ball which resulted in snap hooks, took me 3 months to get back to hitting better shots, but sinc Lockdown my swing has got really bad Paul I've got a lesson booked on Sunday with a different pro than the one I use. I struggle with a very flat laid off swing I really want to be able to get steeper but I cant. Golf is so hard
There are a few issues. You need to fix one or two things at a time. You try to fix everything and you will get nothing. Do the lesson and let us know how you're doing. If he does fix you I will tell you what to work on.
This was very helpful. Wrist movement (or lack thereof) is still a mystery as a beginner.
Well see it in it's simple terms. It hinges going back and rehinges into the through swing. This is a good tip to see what happens then just work on these:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul!
Good morning Paul. As usual great video. Quick question. If I'm hitting right, is it an alignment issue? I'm not talking spinning it right, I'm just saying hitting it directly to the right. I believe I need to align better, but I'm not sure. And I most normally do it with my irons. Actually very hard work trying to take the arms out of the swing. I didn't think that would be the most difficult piece of your method, but it is. Thanks for the awesome instruction!
Thanks. Glad you like it. It could be you are aimed out there or driving your lower body too hard but its with irons so you are probably aimed out there. You need to watch this asap: ua-cam.com/video/V14Xbv5aD5g/v-deo.html
I like your videos Paul. What golf ball do you think is better for high to mid handicappers?
You want a harder golf ball vs something like a PROV1, try some different golf balls out and see what works best for you. There are so many good golf balls out there right now.
Hi Paul. Your videos are always very comprehensive. So, would this be considered a "hands release"? I also see a body release on some videos, as well. Thanks!
Yes, absolutely. Unless you are 30 or younger and learned golf as a kid you will never get a body release golf swing. I am literally working right with 2 guys who tried it. Both hit driver 220 and other clubs nowhere. Plus, too much tilt will kill your back. I tried it. So I see the wrists as a hinge. It hinges and rehinges. A hinge in loose. This is what gives you clubhead speed. Then you attached this arm unit to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. Get that and you have a swing for life.
Hi Paul. You've become my GO-TO guy on UA-cam. I really struggled with my driver today on this very subject. Is it the same with a driver? Because my irons don't fade.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. Glad I could get you back on track. You can certainly do this with Driver. Everyone wants to hit driver longer so they swing hard which locks everything up. Stay loose. Do this drill daily in practice swings:
ua-cam.com/video/SfIM2GWj9Cs/v-deo.html
Paul, Sir, this is GREAT STUFF !! I will tell my friends about you AFTER I GET ALL OF MY MONEY BACK !! LOL
Awesome thank you!
Lol...that's a good one
Great technique. I really want to learn this swing. Some people teach avoiding “ long thumb”. Is long left thumb a bad thing?
Glad you like it. Thanks. The long thumb has the club parallel to the knuckles in the grip. If so, you can overcup as you go into the backswing. I like it across the palm. When you hold it like this you can't overcup. Just follow this tip:
ua-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/v-deo.html
Hey paul thanks for sharing the drill. I have problem hinge and rehinge the #3 wood club, its too long and my grips are too weak. Can you do this drill with #3 wood? Or do we have to use different method with #3 wood? Thanks in advance!
You only have one swing so do the drill with all clubs. Just grip down on the club. Do it like this:
ua-cam.com/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/v-deo.html
Your just doing it to loosen your wrists while having a secure grip.
ua-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/v-deo.html
Just do practice swings every night.
I saw your video on keeping the clubbed square and totally agreed. I totally disagree with this idea of hinging and rehinging. It is impossible to properly time such a thing and any activity in the hands and wrists through impact is hopeless and goes against using the lower body to generate power and club head speed.
Well, you don't know how I do it. It is not impossible at all. You need to do that drill until you consistently hook every shot. Now you know where it's going to go before you hit it. Then you keep doing it but slowly start to add more and more body watching your ball. Little body less hook so you add a little more etc until you are hitting it dead straight. Too much body you blow it right so you back it off. I could literally get you hitting it dead straight in 10mins. Watch this sales video. You don't have to buy it but watch my result. That is not even working on their swings. I just told them 2 things: howtocureaslice.com I don't guess. I have done this for so long I can make anyone hit it dead straight very quickly.
Awesomeness 😎 Yet Another great Video.
Oh by the way you gave us the bird at 2:40 😂
Where do you buy your Spinach, Dang Look at Those Forearms 😮
Yes, this is a big one. Need to get those wrists unlocked. Yes, big forearms but that is the camera.
Great vid, but I noticed your left thumb is not glued to your hand like you recommend in your Neutral Grip video. This is ok with me, cause I can't glue my thumb either. 😊 I'm changing from a strong to neutral grip thanks to you, I'm feeling the pinky more in the left, and wrapping the thumb with my right hand. Thanks!
Keep in mind I was holding the position plus my head was way back to fit the camera and I couldn't even see what I was doing. Try to keep it against the best you can. Stick to the neutral you won't regret it.
Old school forearm rotation which causes excessive Face Rotation and loss of face control. Much preferred to use Body Rotation to stabilize the Face with a modern Body-bias rotation and face stabilization for more consistency.
Well, you don't actually lose face control if you are not trying to hit the ball with your arms. You are using simple physics to square the face very consistently. If you want to do the new swing feel free. The problem is when you get older and you can't turn your hips or you started as an adult and have zero hip rotation. This swing will not work for those people. The person who started playing golf as an adult is hitting solely with the arms. 80 to 90% are facing the ball as they hit the ball. If their hips are open 10 degrees at impact it's a miracle. So again, this new swing will never work for them. I went them getting power with looseness not physical strength. Not that I don't have great players doing my stuff but most of my followers are older and did not learn as kids. My best student at the moment is a +7 and is very consistent.
Hi Paul, great video as always. At 2:06, are you cupping the wrist when hinging? In one of your lag videos you were showing a drill to form a L going back but I could do that only if I cupped my wrist. If I try and force the hinge with a flat wrist, the wrist starts to hurt.
This should explain cupping. ua-cam.com/video/uRWI8Mhnsa8/v-deo.html You want to have slight cupping.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you Paul! I have a neutral grip but I try to keep my wrist flat at the top. So I guess I’m manipulating it a bit on the way back. Need to hit some balls with a slight cup to see how I do. I watched the grip video too.
Yep, big problems with that flat wrists. You will have to practice a lot to time it. If you are not practicing every day then allow some cupping.
Is your wrist slightly cupped at the end of the back swing? Great video BTW!
It sure is. Watch:

Thanks! Do you hinge and rehinge with your wrists alone or do you use your forearms?
Well, if you are working on hinging and rehinging you do it how you can do it. I get people thinking wrists or thumbs. You can also think of the butt of the club etc. Not sure about forearms. I never mention them.
Paul..I am hooking the ball left big time with my neutral grip and wrist hing.Ball goes a long way but left. When I turn my hips what do I do with my shoulders. I am turning them also. I think this is causing the hook. Your thoughts?
You need to start the lower body first in the downswing. If that happens, you will hit it dead straight.
I have an orange whip would it be okay to use it for the various drills?
I don't really like that for this drill.
Intresting.... ...how do you coil which naturally produces tightness, but keep loose wrist
Because you work on loosening your wrists first. Once your wrists are loose with a secure grip they will never lock back up. So get this first. Then work on the coil and uncoil.
Paul, I recently had a lesson (I'm changing my swing in response to a shoulder dislocation) and the instructor told me that I'm not releasing my hands correctly. I'm releasing my hands exactly how you are in this video but I was told that this movement is incorrect - the instructor wanted my hands (my trail hand in particular) to rehinge at the end of the swing in order to "release my hands" properly. Is this rehinging of the trail hand at the end of the swing necessary? I'm only posing the question to you on your channel because others in the online space have not touched on this detail (of how to actually release the wrist - others may be interested in this nitpicky detail), thanks in advance and I appreciate your videos.
Not sure what you mean release your trail hand at the end of the swing? In the follow through? Why bother? For me, I don't see your hands as hands and wrists as wrists. I see them as a hinge. So how would a hinge work? It would hinge ... it would rehinge. The hinge would be loose. So if you are not doing what I want you to do then you would be too tight. Keep in mind that tips was a drill. This would get you hinging and rehinging too early (which is a good thing).
Watch: ua-cam.com/video/jEWe9Gaoqxo/v-deo.html
Then keep doing what you are doing. Get the hinge working. How do you know it's working? You rarely hit shots with slice spin. At this point you would keep the same feeling in your hands and arms as you start making the switch to powering your swing with your body. Wrists = spin. body = direction.
Do you recommend a overlapping, or interlocking grip......or no preference?
Overlap. People rarely do the interlock right cause they try to wedge the pinky in too deep. Plus it take one finger of your weaker hand off the club. Why do that?
Can't wait to try..I hang on way to tight
You need a secure grip but loose wrists. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/v-deo.html
paul should my weight be on left or right side or just in middle
Weight can move a little back and forth but it is really about the drill. I wasn't even thinking about the legs and hips.
Hi Paul
This clip has intrigued me many times as I keep coming back to watching it.
I used to flip for years, worked hard on not flipping now I just hold off.
So with out sounding like a dumbass I keep seeing this clip as a flip.
Well the release is a huge part of the swing. This is where you are going to get a ton of power and stop putting slice spin on your shots. Holding off is not great. Takes way more energy for less result. If this was a flip you would be adding loft. This is closing the face (on purpose). Doing this early or too much would put hook spin on it. This is not the whole swing. This is a piece of the swing. Need to know how I teach the swing and how fast I can get people hitting it dead straight. 2 steps. That's it. This is how it works: ua-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/v-deo.html
Just come back from the range and I'm hugely impressed. Crisp penetrating striking with my irons.
My wedges were nice but seemed to be going to high at times.
Driver was calamitous but I'm not sure if that's just not being able to commit to the wrist release with it.
Overall though for the first time trying it I'm very happy
That's great. The high wedges are you adding loft. Watch this:
ua-cam.com/video/PZkBP21bPJU/v-deo.html
I've had had people roll it over about 100 time then add body even with wedges and it lowers them. For Driver take it in 2 steps. Roll it from the top and get it hooking. Then we know what you are going to do before you do it. This is half right (Spin). Once you are confident that everything is going left left then start switching to body to straighten it out (direction). This is how simple it is. What me do it in the 2 videos on this page (you don't have to buy the product just watch the videos):
www.paulwilsongolf.com/cure-slice
I noticed when i do that the timing has to be very accurate otherwise, i see hooks or push. How do i do perfect timing hing and rehing so club is square at the ball?
You keep rolling and hitting the hooks until every ball hooks consistently. The you switch to body rotation to straighten it out. Watch your ball it will tell you exactly what to do. Push it and you are driving the lower too hard. You need to to fire the lower until it goes straight then memorize that feeling so you can repeat it into the future.
Paul - Now that I'm playing with my new swing from having adapted to your Bodyswing program, one issue I've had is seeing the ball fly right on pretty solid, relaxed strikes (I am right handed). Should I be purposely "rolling" my wrists at or during impact, or maybe throughout the swing? I fully understand the hinge and unhinge aspect, absolutely. But I began to add an intended "roll" of my wrists towards the end of my Sunday round with good results. Maybe I just answered my own question here, but I wanted some clarification because I cannot locate this in your material. Many thanks!
Glad you are working on The Body Swing and seeing results. You are rolling it in practice until you rarely ever put slice spin on the ball. At that point you have mastered the release so you would be thinking about coiling and uncoiling while feeling the release you have mastered. You need to re-watch Lesson 4.
@@paulwilsongolf Excellent, thank you Paul. I shall re-watch Chapter 4. As odd as this sounds, I am now actually hitting my tee shots (woods & driver) rather nicely. Irons, in-round, not so much. I believe that is simply tension because I am literally NOT thinking distance, my thought is balance and contact. Its a process to be certain, though I _AM_ experiencing some amazing shots that never happened in the past. :) Getting there, Paul.
For irons people tend to hit down. Make sure you stand tall at setup instead of bent over too much and not try to hit anything. Think circular as you swing back and through not up an down. The ball will be hit by swinging from point A to B. Definitely have zero tension. Sounds like you are super close so keep at it.
ua-cam.com/video/gJOq_LO6oRg/v-deo.html
Hey Paul I was doing this drill and was flushing it dead straight but the ball flight was really low - what can I do different to make the ball go higher?
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/BBOE0ZpAEZM/v-deo.html
I can’t believe I am just finding you channel after a solid year of watching videos! Could you point me in the right direction quickly please?
When I reach full release where the arc is at the most stretched out 2 feet past the ball, immediately after my lead wrist cups and the head goes past the shaft and it look like I am almost scooping the ball. Should I twist my wrist more after release to prevent the cupping?
How could you miss my red shirt? Well you found me now. Time to get on track. If you are extended at 2 feet past you are just rehinging. The lead wrist would be cupping and rehinging. ua-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/v-deo.html just work on that for now. You could watch these too:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks Paul your videos are amazing
Thanks. Glad you like them.
i watched a video from you years ago about having loose wrists. I want to thank you for the tendonitis i've developed
Yeah right. You wouldn't get tendonitis from loose wrists. You would get it from being too tight. As you can see from the comments I am making countless people play great golf. I literally have thousands and testimonials and have taught tens of thousands of people over 30 years. No one gets tendonitis from loosening their wrists.
Hey Paul ,are you advocating rolling the club open in the take away?
No. You wouldn't be purposely rolling it. This would cause you to be deep and flat going back. Do this and continue to halfway back: ua-cam.com/video/TFjh9dGkZXA/v-deo.html
Ok , I have been taught to keep the face pointed at the ball in the first part of the take away. So that's what needs to happen?
I'm starting to get the rotation of the hips and legs, practiced at the range last night and found myself hitting farther and straighter as long as I didn't go back to wanting to kill it...Thanks for all of these videos...
Very good. This is the start and you are seeing results. Keep at it. Fight that feeling of hitting with the arms.
What do you say to the people who say this moves the clubhead from open to close too quickly causing inconsistency? I follow Hogan who seemed to hold onto the club through impact to keep the face squarer longer.
I say you are not hitting or helping the club in any way with your arms. They are powerless. Your wrists are a hinge. They hinge and rehinge. Unless you are playing and practicing daily holding the clubface square down the the line will never work. If the face is only open or closed a few degrees you will hit it sideways. A tick on a clock is 6 degrees. You don't even have a tick on a clock so using hand eye coordination and practicing once a week how do you ever plan on being consistent? This is a reason the average person will get it then lose it then get it then lose it and eventually drive themselves crazy. I prefer using physics of mass swinging around an axis and not disturbing the mass. Here is the explanation. Listen carefully to what I am saying in this tip:
ua-cam.com/video/jjiXrGLkqj0/v-deo.html
Is this the same for driver? My problem is I lock my wrists and push my driver and then try to keep my wrist flat and then hook it?? So I need to release the wrists at impact?
Loose wrists. All clubs. Quit trying to keep it flat. It hinges and rehinges. A hinge is loose. Think differently and you will get it. Slice spin it was tight. Hook you rehinged it too early. Get this then add body rotation.
Hi Paul when i swing with loose wrists i tend to either hit behind the ball and fat it, or i hit it thin and skull it? I can't seem to get it right?
The fat shots are a result of loosening up your wrists, all you have to do now is start to turn your body slightly. Start off slowly and then build up more speed with your legs and hips.
Paul Wilson Golf ok thanks Paul, keep up the great tips please?
Do your wrists touch on the rehinge Paul?
They do not touch.
This presents a conundrum that I've been facing for a few years now. Just about every teacher I've seen promotes a "hold-off" release in combination with a "flat" left wrist at the top that supposedly promotes a more consistent way to keep the clubface square through impact with less "timing". However, having tried to implement this hold-off method over the past few years, I've had very little success with it. Firstly, it feels terrible. I find the "rolling" of the wrists to be far more comfortable and intuitive, and trying to keep my left wrist flat at the top and on the way down causes pain. Maybe be I'm crazy, but I feel like I hit the ball just as consistently when I let my wrists loose as I do when I try to "control" them. They say it's an outmoded method of swinging the club, but to me it just feels better.
Yeah, how's that working out for everyone? The wrists are a hinge. Why would you lock it? If it's a hinge it needs to hinge and rehinge because it's loose. This one will explain it too: ua-cam.com/video/OFJOLBSXSfQ/v-deo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Awesome, thanks!
Great video, except that I think I might have fell asleep for a second. Watching hinge and re-hinge with the club swinging was like going to a hypnotist. Maybe that’s your plan...hypnotize everyone into being a better golfer? Groundbreaking.
Yes, this is subliminal to put everyone in a trance. Sometimes i have to resort to drastic measures.
🤣
How do you start the downswing with this L to L release technique?
It's a drill. You are just letting your body follow along. You do this to loosen your wrists then add this to your full swing. I have more hip tips coming up shortly.
And an aim stick to see target line or foot line.
We are going to film a lot more like this, so this could be a good idea
Hi Paul. I’m hooking the ball like crazy doing this. Is that common?
Quit seeing the bad in it. The hook is half right. Your wrists are working and you are releasing it. See how this is a good thing versus slicing it? Now you need to get it on the right direction. This is a body problem. If you don't see this you will try to manipulate the face and end up blowing it right. Wrists = spin. Body = direction. keep doing what you are doing with the wrists. Then as soon as you start down you are firing your lower body first. If your body moves first coming down you will hit it dead straight. Try this as the trigger: ua-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/v-deo.html
So fire the lower first then allow the wrist to release as you are doing. Watch this too:
ua-cam.com/video/bLskGy7rulo/v-deo.html
@@paulwilsongolf Ok. I’ll try. Thanks
During the swing is the hinge unhinge active or passive??
It is active if you are slicing the ball and learning how to do it. Once you hit every ball straight or hooked they are passive as you are moving on to your body to straighten it out.
The TRICK to this I think is WHERE the L transition occurs. It looks like it occurs right over where the ball would be. If it is too early or too late I don’t think this will work. What tip or feel can you share to get this transition in the right place? If I am incorrect about this, please let me know!
Yes, the release is happening at the golf ball but you are trying to start a lot earlier to unlock your wrists. If they are tight, which most golfers are, then you need to do this a lot sooner.
It's more of the lead arm that hinges both ways. Right?
The lead wrist will hinge to 90 therefore it will rehinge to 90.
So is this radial in the backswing then ulnar in the release?
In my book it's called hinging and re-hinging. I don't know the medical terms nor do I want to.
😆 nice
So my wrist are definitely locked at impact/thru the ball. I’m guessing that’s why I’m loosing my shots especially with driver to the right. Because of this I keep making my grip stronger and stronger but still loose my shots to the right. So I’m assuming it doesn’t matter how strong the grip is , if your locked at impact your going to still miss right.
You got it. Right = tight. You also got it. You can have a strong grip and still blow it right so is a strong grip the answer? No. You need a neutral grip to allow yourself to have loose wrists and not snap it off the planet left. Follow these:

I have been a flipper of the golf club my whole life. I went to this type of release a few years back to get rid of my fade. Then I started having timing issues, and my ball direction really suffered. Unpredictable hooks, blocks and slices. What you have to be careful of with this release is you don't do it TOO much. The club face should stay square to the arch of the swing. Don't overly rotate the face, or hold it straight down the line of the shot. Somewhere in between.
You weren't consistent because you didn't know what to look for. Once you get the release you base your swing on your body which is exactly what I teach. Your wrists can only be so loose. Once you get that you are not even thinking about it. Pull = more body push = less body. Watch the ball. It will tell you what to do.
@@paulwilsongolf What my ball flight tells me is that I should quit the game! (-: I tried the wrist release a little today on the range, and all was ok. As soon as I hit the course, boom! OB left! In order to save my round, I resumed my normal down the line release, except for a few shots. I think my "flip" is really the correct release. When I try to turn my wrists over, I get into trouble. .. Sometimes what you feel isn't really what youre really doing. I shot 84 with a bunch of 3 putts. So, I can't be too unhappy... I live in Tucson. One of these days I'd like to come up for a one on one.
I would also check your grip, if you released the golf club with a strong grip you could see bigger hooks than you were trying to do.
How the hell would u time the square face at impact?
What you are not seeing is simple physics of mass swinging around an axis. Set up with the face square and arms stretched out at setup. How do you consistently square the face? You let the arms stretch back out. You pre determined that when your arms are stretched out the face is square. So if you stretch your arms out the face has to be square. This is why a chicken wing is so inconsistent as well as trying to hold the lag angle through and past impact. Watch these 2 tips. It explains it:
ua-cam.com/video/K5wPQn-3Br4/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/jjiXrGLkqj0/v-deo.html
How can you do this without flipping the wrists?
You turn your body. No body turn = square shoulders at impact = flipping. So turn. Get the hips and shoulders open and impact and you have no flip. This is a piece of the swing showing how the wrist work. This is then connected to your body rotation.
nice camera angle....
Yeah, I thought this would be a cool shot. I did a few others too:

People keep telling me this is bad and call it flipping the wrist, but this is the only way I can not slice a driver.
I would stop listening to those people because they obviously don't know how to straighten it back out. Sometimes you have to overdo things to master them. Other times you need to know "why" you are doing something.

Wow: added 25 yards to my driver by doing this.
Nice. Keep at it.
From 300 to 325 yds ; like Bryson ?!
That is literally 90% of the golf swing. This is more than a drill!!!
It sure is. Glad you see it. This is where the power comes from but it has to be connected to your body. This one shows the importance of the release:
ua-cam.com/video/O9jr3G1FF6M/v-deo.html
Would you say, glove logo up, logo square, logo down?
I would say logo up logo up. forget impact. never do logo down this is unnecessary. This occurs due to the right fundamentals not because you are physically doing it.
I tried it using a strong grip and guess what? I sliced it every time like I usually do ha.
Yeah so obviously "strong is wrong." So do it right:

You're scooping the ball
This is the arm unit. You do realize you need to use your body? Once you do, you are not scooping.
