The Easiest way to play golf! Brian Sparks' legacy, Easiest Swing lives on. This channel shows you how to find an easier way of swinging the club and playing the game. Whilst these are all particularly valid for senior golfers they also help golfers of any age or ability to reduce difficulty. As Brian says in his book, Positive Impact Golf, swinging a golf club and hitting a golf ball should not be so difficult. It is increased, of course, when the amount of technical advice combines with an overload of thinking.
Easiest Swing coaches are continuing the philosophy of Easiest Swing to enable golfers around the world to discover an easier and more natural way to play golf.

Perhaps a misconception on my part. A lot of tuition promotes tilting in the backswing. Your backswing appears quite level. I tried this but ended up with a really flat backswing. Most likely my errors!!! Any thoughts appreciated.
ad in middle of video is annoying
Feel free to hit the fast forward button ⏩
i have back issues, one question i have is how do you stop the right shoulder from flying out at the start of the downswing causing an over the top move, this is worse as the clubs get longer for me particularly with driver, my understanding of the easiest swing move is all rotational and the whole body moving as one in harmony, but i always seem to swing across the ball and get a glancing blow leading to a loss of distance, thanks the videos are great and i have subscribed dan
Thanks Dan I can sympathise with your issue as it plagued me for at least the first 15 years of my career. I would say to avoid focussing on it too much as it is a result of a number of issues. Following Easiest Swing and watching our videos will help you progress through the elements that cause it. If you need additional help consider joining our club where we can watch your progress and help you along the road. But I can assure you it can be fixed and fortunately due to Brian’s and my experience ES will get you there quickly. Make sure you have rid yourself of the 3 Deadly Don’ts and follow the six basics whilst removing tension. If none of this is familiar I’d suggest you purchase a copy of our new book The Easiest Swing in Golf. Good luck - better golf is ahead!
This swing is pain free. When you feel like you’re swinging with effort,you’re not doing it right. I think it was Sam Snead said that you should be able to whistle normally while you swing. Try it!
Great tip - have tried humming and keeping the tone constant but never tried Sam’s tip of whistling- next time at the range for sure!! 👌
Question about the new book - does it get into the specifics of instruction on the swing mechanics or more focused on the philosophy behind the swing? I need a driving range companion and videos are hard to watch at the range:)
There is plenty about how to improve your swing avoiding the three deadly don’ts and incorporating the six basics. There is much about the philosophy and also how to improve and strengthen your mental game. It will help you to reduce tension and discover your own Easiest Swing. I hope you get a lot from reading it.
@@Easiestswing thank you!
i’m playing here this weekend, just watching some videos to see what the facilities are like. Looks GREAT!
It is a very special place - I’m certain you will fall in love with it just as we have. Play well!!!
For all of you senior golfers, what Phillip is teaching is the key to playing golf in a way that will allow you to continue playing for years to come. The secret is swinging in a relaxed manner. Here in Arizona, golfing in very warm conditions can feel like the Batan death march if you are swinging the club with a strangle hold on the grip, out of balance, and too much tension in your arms and shoulders. Instead of finishing a round feeling tired, the Easiest Swing method has you walking off of the 18th green still feeling like you could easily play another 9 holes. I am finding much more enjoyment in my game today than I ever had prior to finding the Easiest Swing. I score better and I feel better. I may not look like the young bucks with a pro style swing, but I don’t look like the guys that swing out of their shoes and look like they are chopping wood. If you are a senior, try it. I think you will like it a lot.
What a wonderful testament- thank you!🙏 more and more golfers are coming to this conclusion. It is just mind blowing for golfers who have spent years being convinced that golf is difficult to discover that it doesn’t have to be!! I too would love to wind the clock back 50 years to discover how good I could have become if I had discovered this then! Play well & stay well 👍
🎉Gentlemen, all of the exercises that encompass this golf swing have benefits well beyond the swing. The swinging leg drill and the Danse, have made improvements to my overall mobility and balance. As this swing becomes more and more my natural swing my game is leaving me more refreshed.
Isn’t it wonderful to discover something akin to winding the clock back. Thanks for your comment it makes it all worthwhile to hear how much our followers are benefiting 🏌🏾♂️👍
@@Easiestswing No.matter how little I try Brian's swing is seemingly impossible to duplicate. He leftus a great gift.
Nobody and i mean NO ONE makes the golf swing look so easy...and it is if you do it Brian's way
Thank you - all you have to do is break a few of those old rules and hey presto anyone can do this! 😉
Do you have any videos on fixing fat shots?
We have just put a course on the members site specifically on better ball striking and avoiding fat shots. If you were maybe considering joining perhaps this could be the deciding factor.
...I would suggest letting your eyes and head release as you approach impact, like Brian did in his videos... works for me, might for you... good luck!😊
@@randythomas8738 Thanks, appreciate your willingness to help
Had a long conversation with Brian about one length irons and he was strongly considering incorporating this into the easiest swing. I finally bought an immaculate set very cheap off a well known auction site. Had 9 holes with them last night and then took them out in one of our club major competitions where I placed third. These have got to be great for the easiest swing , same ball position and no bending over, what do you think? As Brian said, always breaking rules.
Yes indeed he thought in particular that short irons were difficult for a lot of seniors due to the extra bend required he played with a set of one length irons that Ping made specially for him. Unfortunately they are not interested in putting them into production but we are talking to other manufacturers and maybe one day will have a solution. 🤞well done on your success keep it going!
I’m 64 and determined to get my name on a board at the club, one day hopefully.😊
Brilliant swing Phil
Thanks David 🙏
Same principle with irons and hybrids off ?
Absolutely works for any full swing 👍
Hi Phil, what a brilliant swing you have. Great to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it Charlie hope it’s helping you to find your own Easiest Swing 👍
I’m in the middle of rehab with a wrist injury, and I’m doing the La Danse du Golf all around the house. Thanks Philip and rest in peace Brian ❤
Thanks Bradley and speedy recovery. I broke my left wrist five years ago (plated & 5 pins) and worried I wouldn’t be able to swing properly once it recovered - physio was the key you need to be religious with it and I still do exercises every day and will do for the rest of my life to keep it moving - good luck & stick with it!
Another great video Phil for we, senior golfers! I like the idea of turning out the right toe a bit and even pulling back the right leg somewhat. The Le' Dance move that you recommended using for weight transfer is excellent! Glad I found your book and your channel! Well Done Sir!
Thanks John delighted it is all helping - makes it all worthwhile 👍
Another excellent explanation of how to play golf without pressure❤
Glad you enjoyed it David keep working on it. Play well and stay well 👍
We hope our senior golfers find these simple concepts helpful in achieving a better turn in their golf swing, ultimately making the game a bit easier! Remember to check out easiestswing.com to learn more about Easiest Swing.
I have just dicovered your site, I have watched many of your videos over the last few days. I have been playing for many years and always found swinging slower hits it better. I am playing in a Seniors Aniversary medal next week, which I won last year, and I am going to try and put into practice your method and see how I get on, just for information, my HI is 13.9 and I have not ben playing well for the past few months, I will let you know how I get on, thanks in advance for your information.
Thanks Alan and hope you play well in the Anniversary event. Main thing is to enjoy your game, enjoy your swing and enjoy the event.
Moe Norman and Ben Hogan both feet grounded back and through impact.
I’m new to your channel but watched this as a senior golfer and started to raise my left heel. Awesome! Felt so much easier to swing not hit and drove the ball really well today the first time of doing this. It also improved my tempo with my irons so a result all round. Thank you so much for this and I look forward to watching more of your channel. Neil
Thanks Neil and welcome to our channel! We have lots of resources for you so I’d suggest visiting our website and signing up for our newsletter and the free e-book. This will get you started at no cost before committing to any spend. Looking forward to being with you all the way along the journey to your own Easiest Swing!
Thanks so much for the video. Tension has always been an issue for me and this video really helped. I have a question. On the downswing, is your feeling more body driven or arms driven? In other words is the feeling when swinging down, the body leading the arms or vice versa?
Whilst most pros would say the arms trail the body for them, for many club golfers this just leads to a disconnect of clubhead, body and arms. Therefore for most players reducing tension and increasing awareness of where the clubhead is without forcing it or trying to control it too much is the best way to deliver the club squarely. We do discuss this topic in several of our videos so keep watching!
I allow myself to relax and get quite a reasonable distance say 190 carry which is probably average for my age 67 but can’t get any further with a relaxed swing .what am I missing ? I can get 145 to 165 wy😮ith a six iron but feel I should get more carry with the driver ? Any ideas please
Most likely you are not launching the ball high enough. Most commonly for club golfers they launch it too low and put too much spin in the ball. Have you had a club fitting recently?
@@Easiestswing thanks for the reply ,but never ever had a club fitting . Will consider it in near future. Thanks for the advice
❤
I have no tension in my golf swing. I lost 20 yards with my driver (180 down to 160) since last year. Working on getting back the yardage (hopefully more than a 20 yard gain) before I actually play again. Home on the range.
Keep working at it Jeff you will get it!
This Feb I transitioned from Graves Golf Single Plane Swing to the Easiest Swing. It made sense about less tension and rotating for my 73 yr old body. It has been an unmitigated disaster. My drives are 20 to 30 yds less and I slice all over the course and hit pop ups 30 yds off the tee. My long irons are more topped than solidly hit. And the strongest of my game had been chipping and now I either chunk or skull the shot 80% of the time. All of the comments on the Videos praise their results. Are these comments for real or they written by friends and Bots? I’m going to try and incorporate a hybrid with the best parts of less tension with the ball striking of Single Plane.
Hi John I’m sorry to hear ES is not working for you. Let me reassure you that we do not use bots! and whilst we have countless friends through ES they are all genuine golfers who have become friends due to the success they have experienced by adopting our principals. Without seeing what you are doing I can’t comment on why it isn’t working for you, but have you read either or both of our books? They may help you discover what is missing. You could also consider some one-to-one online coaching with one of our coaches or join the ES Club where you can get help from other members and our coaches. I hope it turns round in the near future and you find your own Easiest Swing.
I am 76 years old and I'm wondering if yourecommend that I use soft golf balls to improve my distance.
These can make a small difference but if you lack clubhead speed more flexible graphite shafts can help and as you mentioned in your other comment completing your through swing can make a big difference to your acceleration through the ball.
I agree with you that tension really hurts your swing. I am having a problem that right after I hit the golf ball, my arms stop moving and I never reach my full forward swing.
Watch this video it will help you overcome this problem This One GOLF SWING Position Should be Coached to ALL GOLFERS kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaln286sqsbNlNY.html
Frictionless
👍👌
Hi Philip, Yes interference free is OK but some action towards the target to collect the ball through the turf and send it to the target is required. Depending on the type of interaction with the turf tone in the wrists changes.
Indeed!
So Simple. Thanks
You're welcome!
Great video. It is amazing how easy the swing can be if you just let it happen. I am sorry, but your swing trainer is way overpriced. I will take your tips to heart, and use my old " click" swing trainer to train for more speed and proper release.
Glad to hear you have one that works for you. Unfortunately the Swing Caddy and Hole in One are quite highly priced we agree - unfortunately we are not able to reduce the price and cheaper versions don’t work as well.
Any chance of a very slow motion of your swing. Frontal and down the line ??
We have recently recorded some swings I did in slow motion (in real time as opposed to to being shown in slow motion) these will be coming out soon but I’ll get the production team onto this too it’s a good idea. Bear in mind it’s usually a couple of months before these videos get edited finished and published. Thanks for your input and hope you are enjoying our videos. 👍
Im reading “the positive impact of golf”. This book has made me realize to enjoy the game and I’ve never been so relaxed on the course. Thank you for all the videos 😊
Thanks Lionel glad you are getting a lot from our channel and the book. When you finish PIG you might like to read the new book The Easiest Swing in Golf. Thanks for your support 🙏
Great advice Phil. You’ve gotta lose control to gain control. Had a conversation with my playing partner today after he miss-hit his driver on a a par 5. He couldn’t get to the green so he tried to lay up to a number. He made the most smooth a free swing and hit it 15 yards longer than expected. The rest of the day we told each other, hit your layup shot, on every shot. It was a great ball striking day for both of us,
Fantastic story and great evidence that less is more!! Well done Barry and thanks for your support. Play well and stay well ⛳️🏌🏾♂️
Absolutely right
Cracking video as always Phil
Thanks Julian. Appreciate your support keep enjoying your golf. Play well and stay well 🏌🏾♂️⛳️
I totally agree with everything you said. The only thing that I wonder about. The swing as you described it will square up the club face without a doubt. However, the thing I have the biggest problem with is inconsistent strike quality. Sometimes I hit thin shots, sometimes I hit fat shots, sometimes I hit beautiful compressed shots. How does the relaxed swing help with a consistent point of impact?
When you first release yourself from a more tense swing and start to swing more relaxed your rhythm can be rather inconsistent. This will improve as you go on and I would suggest reading our books too as this will help support your journey towards your own Easiest Swing. Sounds like you are making good progress keep up the good work 👍🏌🏾♂️
Hi Phil, I’ve noticed that recently I’ve become ‘left hand dominant’ using ES which I think is causing my topped shots, shanks and duffs. I think I need to weaken my grip... any views on this? Whatever- I’m sticking with the ES! Thanks.
The three P’s Patience, Practice and Perseverance are essential for success, so well done on making that commitment I suspect you are experiencing this feeling in your left hand as a comparison to have previously been right hand dominant. Given time this will calm down and once your rhythm matches your new more relaxed action it will soon become much more consistent. Sounds like you are making great progress keep going and we will support you all the way. I’d suggest buying our books as they will help you along the journey 👍
I just love your swing! On your back swing, do you pull it back at a particular angle?
Thanks for the compliment. No two golfers will (or should) do this exactly the same. What you need to aim for is the most natural move you can make that doesn’t have the three deadly don’ts interfering. If that term is not familiar just watch more of our videos or read one of our two books. Hope you find your own easiest swing soon. 👍
Great video lesson for sure. I discovered this a while back when I was casually hitting shots out of trouble and actually discovering the feeling the inertia and was amazed at the difference it made for targeting shots and overall game improvement too -- even in the short grass. It seems that I spend far more time now trying to prevent any and all forms of tension/rigidity in my swing routine and (instead) pay much more attention to simply allowing the swing to more freely happen, (as you are saying), which is also allowing me way bullet-straight trajectories, more gratification, and much better scoring.
Well done glad this reinforces what you already working on 👍
Excellent advise Phil on how to naturally swing a golf club. I have been playing this game for almost 70 years and I learned a long time ago it is better not to try and manipulate the golf club. The manufacturers have designed these clubs in such as way that they will square up without any outside manipulation. A light grip, loose wrists, and supple arms is all you need for these golf clubs to work for you. Well Done Phil! I like the way you present your topics. I have "The Easiest Swing" downloaded onto my Kindle. A great reference guide!
And what they say about tension is fantastic. Best I have ever read😊
Thanks John glad to hear all this from someone with a lifetime’s experience. That means a lot to me. Glad you have the new book too and finding it useful 👍
Thanks Phillip. Such a simple concept.
We hope you enjoyed this video and take the concepts straight to the course. Start finding more fairways and hit more greens without the effort. Remember to go to easiestswing.com to find out more about the Easiest Swing philosophy ⛳
A guy in my league watched my swing and said I was a wigwam and a teepee. What? He paused and then said, "You're too tense!" lol
Brilliant! I may have to steal that joke thanks 🙏 🤩
Nice lesson! Thanks, gents!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome. But how about with an iron? Your weight needs to be more forward at impact so the club shallows out in front of the ball.
It’s easier when the spine isn’t leaning backwards to achieve a better impact position and improve compression with irons.
What's the back ground music?
Apologies, we have checked with our editor and he uses a huge library of music and sadly didn’t make a note so we can’t say I’m sorry.
Just ordered your book!!!
Great!! - hope you like it and it helps your game.
"Finish the swing" is a one of the best thoughts I have used in a round that ended in a good score. My control over the ball flight has really improved, without thinking about it! . Thanks Philip.
Well done - brilliant!!!🤩
I’ve gradually been cherry picking various parts of easiest swing. The idea of total relaxation has completely changed my game. It’s easy to become fixated on a particular technical move, believing that will bring great golf. I feel us amateurs need to stop chasing (and being sold) tour pro type swings. These guys are unicorns, the average person has zero chance of copying it.
Wow - great testimonial - keep spreading the word!!
