You sound like me.

I'm 71 and this is exactly what's happened to my swing. Hopefully this exercise will help some.....👍. By the way, thank you for putting this video on here.

Most of my students are easy 60 and above. They all do the same thing. That is just whacking away hoping it goes longer one day. That day never comes cause as we get older we don't get stronger. Need to be loose. Don't have to be strong to be loose. Something that is looser swings faster than something that is tighter. You need to try it and trust that this will work. If you arms and wrists are super loose you would then need to use your body which is what all seniors don't do. Follow this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLd2ddppva3IoH0.html

Very good. Love hearing it. Keep at it then you will have a swing for life.

So glad you found me. So glad he got his hips moving. Stay focused. Tons of tips on here. Just don't work on too much at once. Loose wrists and fire the hips. That's a good start.

Absolutely the #1 issue with seniors. Don't have to be strong to be loose so anyone can do this for life. Watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLd2ddppva3IoH0.html

Wow, nice jump in speed. Now, you see that you can do it. Doesn't take strength just a little different way (swing looser). Be great to see his face when you play again. Jus stay focused though and do exactly what you have done. Too many people would try to hard trying to show off and locked everything up again. Watch this too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndJ7ocmHx87ZiKM.html

Thanks. I try to keep everything simple and in terms everyone can understand. Most people are just hitting with arms. Start loosening up in the down and through swing. It is super loose so you allow the weight of the club to pull your arms out fully just past impact. If you get that it will wrap around to the follow through I show. You need to work on this immediately and daily in practice swings. That locked up swing is really costing you.

Complete massa

For sure. The follow through is the most important position in the swing. I have said this since lesson 1 back in 1991 yet few, if any, teach it.

You're welcome. Glad you liked it. Please help spread the word.

Yep, this tip applies to you. Stay loose. Then you will be able to do it for life.

Glad you are doing well. Yes, 60+ is in the ball park for some. Usually it's that 73 age. That is how old they tell me they are. It's all about technique for sure. You don't have to be strong to be loose.

Very good. So glad you saw results and now know you can do it. Keep at it.

Very good. I see so many people chopping it off. Got to get all the way through it.

@@paulwilsongolf This really resonated with me, Paul, and that was because of its simplicity. I'm 62 - an endurance athlete, 6'2", 190 lbs and spend time in the gym. I recently retired and decided to take up golf after about a 15 year layoff from when I used to play maybe 20 times a year. I never committed to the game and typically shot (and shoot) ~100. My swing speed is 85 mph on a good day. I'd love to improve and I know that I have to significantly bump up my swing speed. I'll double back here with the results - and I know that there's no quick cure. Cheers.

Very good. So glad you tried it and now see the power in not trying to hit. Get this and you have a swing for life.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Glad you found me. This is a lot of seniors. Got to swing right through. could Rory chop off his swing like that? Doubt it. So focus on this. Also watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJh6mKyBlq25dac.html

Very good. Glad you found this one and worked on it. Not hard to get more distance. Just need to do it a little differently. Keep at it until you do it without thinking about it.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Glad you liked it. Thanks so much.

Very good. Use what is best for you. I would think a lot of people could benefit from that.

This is a big one. People just have to do it. Get this and your whole game will change.

Thank you for picking up my Body Swing product. I appreciate the support. So glad you are following it and doing well. Just keep doing daily practice swings working on the positions. Get the grip and setup plus 4 positions and you would look like a pro (no joke). So they better you do them the better you will play. Here are some tips from my other channel about uneven lies: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKuea7d6tZrSiYE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLKBprSEv8fLdmg.html

Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.

Just do it in practice swing at home very night. If so, you will train it to happen every time.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

They sure do, plus everyone will be senior some day. Glad you are watching the tips so you keep this in mind as the years go by. You are on your way but we need a bigger drop in handicap. You should be low 80's right now. Easy to do in 2 years. Just need to do daily practice swings doing better positions and moves. So stay focused. Keep watching. Think hinge and rehinge then coil and uncoil. In simple terms those are the components.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

I will keep saying it and saying it until it registers with people.

Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.

Yeah that was a pretty funny one. I an literally holding back in all of these tips cause I get people thinking I am being mean. Unreal.

@@paulwilsongolf Some people can't see a dry sense of humor. Postman just delivered 3 dozen TP5x balls, slighty used. These are for my backyard practice sessions into the net. Just need the net, a really good mat and rubber tees that poke through the mat. Haven't missed a day of hear to hear practice.

Glad you liked it. This is a big one for sure. Just watch other seniors. Most all chop it off.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Very good. I like the swing speed mode. They developed that because of me. So keep doing the 2 drills. If so, you will see the speed dramatically increase.

Very good. So many seniors chop it off. Need to let it go.

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

One swing all clubs. It changes with the width of stance and length of the club but the elements of the swing are the same.

Same here on all counts

Well, you don't have to be strong to be loose. So, you are exactly who needs to be following my teachings. To get the power back you need to be working on fire the legs and hips. So be sure to loose up the arms. Then start firing the lower body way quicker than what you are. It is all in the hips. You will get the distance back in no time then into the future you will be able to maintain it. At 62 you are still young enough to easily hit it 250. Start with the wrists. As you do them you will feel your hands and arms: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8V_Y6tjtrSqn2Q.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtFnp5yqramzXX0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdWcddSovayXeZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMCVh9SU35jUnXk.html Then start working on firing the lower body way quicker: Trigger: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMqgm9eZqLedhoE.html Cheek Trigger: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJedhph82p61YWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arODrbpot56lk6c.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM6litN1kpfMpps.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5aqqcaKv7azn58.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ort_f7CdxODRlZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i92podp3p9LIpmg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLN6mLmKsMDTZWg.html

This is a band aid. It may help a little now but it will fall apart in the future. I would think your draw is actually a pull hook. Set up square and you will see. I have taught countless people in your situation who took a break and are getting back into it. Anyone in this situation will hit with their arms when they get back into golf. This is due to human nature. I talk about it in this tip: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNt_fdunxJiWeJ8.html So you need to set up with the face square. Start rolling it and purposely hooking it. You do that with these tips. This can be a few minutes or a few practice sessions or even daily practice swings at home: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g55ma7SkudKrpGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqmdLaetODPgJs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOeerBn3rSbaWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r651qZp4nsCZXWQ.html Once you get that you then switch to lower body to power the swing and turn your arms off. Find a downswing trigger to hit the ball. Has to be something waist down. You hit the top the apply your trigger to hit the shot: Trigger: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMqgm9eZqLedhoE.html Cheek Trigger: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJedhph82p61YWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arODrbpot56lk6c.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM6litN1kpfMpps.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5aqqcaKv7azn58.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ort_f7CdxODRlZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i92podp3p9LIpmg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLN6mLmKsMDTZWg.html

I haven't work a glove since I was 16. Back then for a good leather glove they were $16. I was going through a glove a week and couldn't afford to wear one. The synthetic gloves were not like they are today. If they were I may still be wearing one. I just don't find it necessary though. Totally up to you if you want to wear one or not. Tour Wraps for me are nice and tacky plus they last a long time so I don't have to keep regripping them. Yes, I play with no glove. Have done so since I was 16.

The brain will always try avoid pain. If the brain subconsciously thinks there's a chance for injury it will alter the conscious decision. Arms get pulled toward the center of the body because that's where the most support is. So try this, stand up, extend both arms fully, straight out in front of you. Stretch your shoulders and back a little to get those arms as far from the body as you can. Hold that position for 10-15 seconds. What you'll probably notice is, it takes effort to hold them out there like that. The brain doesn't like that. It wants to avoid effort. So try it again with a light broom stick, arms fully extended, but this time SLOWLY rotate towards a balance finished, rear foot should get up on its toes, hips turning towards the target, and raise those fully extended arms above your head as you turn, and hold that for 10 seconds. Repeat it 20 times. The brain has to be convinced, that these moves are safe. Then grab a club and do it again. Remember this drill is NOT a golf swing, so don't fold the arms at the elbow at any time, keep them fully extended. This will accelerate convincing the brain, it's safe to have the arms far from the body. Be sure to take video while you do this. Then you can see where and when your body doesn't like supporting certain positions. Over time this will provide better flexibility and add a little strength to muscles you haven't been using before.

Well, if your arms were turned off you would not have a chicken wing. A chicken wing had you contracting the arm muscles pulling the club closer. If your arms were turned off the mass (club) would full extend your arms. Your arms are only so long. So if the weight of the club pulled your arms out then you would be maximizing your arc width. So I would say you may think you are loosening and as you get to impact you are locking back up. I have quit a few tips on this now. Keep in mind you are setting the backswing. You are turning the arms off coming down and through.

Agree. This is human nature. I have been taking about this for years. I have this in both of my books. It is trying to protect your body. It want you to be comfortable and in balance. It affects every aspect of your swing and you learning the swing yet no one is talking about it (but me).

This is because you are hitting with your arms. The harder you hit the tighter you get the slower the club moves. I have tips on this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqeVndl1x93DkXU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsqfls2JxNnchZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNt_fdunxJiWeJ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g55ma7SkudKrpGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqmdLaetODPgJs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOeerBn3rSbaWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r651qZp4nsCZXWQ.html Then hit fire your legs and hips to power the swing NOT your hands and arms.

Yep, heard it million times. Watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsqfls2JxNnchZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8V8ipqf0prXo58.html Then work on this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oeCgnrB0mLPRfps.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9p1d7GUtMezmWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib6Jeseq16vMnok.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l56lfLiqt6yZYo0.html

So this will be great drill for you. Just stay focused and do lots of practice swings.

Yep. Loosen up. Start doing it in practice swings daily.

@@paulwilsongolf 👍🍀❤️

I used to sell stuff but stopped. It's too much effort right now. Maybe in the future again.

Glad you liked it. Thanks. Here are more just for seniors: Watch this first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8V8ipqf0prXo58.html Then: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsqfls2JxNnchZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oeCgnrB0mLPRfps.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9p1d7GUtMezmWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib6Jeseq16vMnok.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l56lfLiqt6yZYo0.html

Depends what level you are at. Here you go: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZOeZsicmtncqGg.html

Stick to this one.

You can if you want but not really necessary. Most seniors are literally using no lower body. Just got to get the body moving with looser wrists.

Well, you need to go through the best you can which means to a point you can repeat it. I have some students swing through and feel the club touch the left lat muscle (shoulder area) instead of going all the way around. Give this a try so you get to a consistent ending point.

I have heard that before.

You need to be sure you are not getting tight which is hampering the follow through. Most people tighten up as they hit the ball so they are tight going to the follow through. So you need to loosen the arms in the down and through swing. Then go to the follow through as I suggest. I don't need the shoulder pointing at the target but the clubshaft perpendicular to the target line. Think about the shaft not the shoulder. Do daily practice swings and see how far you can go around. This should loosen you up. Then you know how far around you can go and end at this point into the future. If you are tight you will chop off the follow through.

@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for tip

Yes, one swing all clubs.

So need to loosen up. Once you do you get effortless power. Start with unlocking the hinge: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g55ma7SkudKrpGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqmdLaetODPgJs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOeerBn3rSbaWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r651qZp4nsCZXWQ.html

Yeah but if the arms/wrists are loose it would wrap around no matter how much pain/inflexible the person is. So I need people to let it go.

@@paulwilsongolf Understood, I'll give it a go. Thanks for the tip(s).

I see it all the time. Need to get all the way through it for sure.

You're welcome.

Then you need to start following me. Loosen up and power the swing with the legs and hips.

@@paulwilsongolf Actually it’s more than that. Had surgery in one shoulder 3 years ago & now I might need the same in my other. Lots arthritis going on 😞 Maybe I should’ve mentioned that. But your tip is actually spot on & was already working on it but trying to force it more than just let it happen naturally. Been playing on & off for over 40 years. Still off single figures but having to rely on my short game & putting even more now. 😉 👍

With those issues you really have to be as loose as possible. The swing is a violent move. Do this with tight muscles or arthritis and it could definitely hurt. So be super loose. Allow the hinging and rehinging to get the clubhead speed.
