Paul Wilson's Method: Staying Relaxed
Paul Wilson has always advocated a simple principle: stay flexible and relaxed when hitting the ball. His program The Body Swing puts the body at the center of the movement, with short exercises that you can do on your own.
The Waggle to Relieve Tension
All good players have some form of waggle before they hit, Paul Wilson points out. At address, he recommends cocking and uncocking your wrists a few times—as many as feel right to you—to release tension from your arms and shoulders. Many golfers tense up because they don’t know what to do before starting their swing: the more relaxed you are, the farther the ball goes.
