Since his debut in 2006, Paul has emerged as one of the leading long drive golf professionals in Europe. He has had two victories—the 2007 RE/MAX Long Drive Championship of Italy and the 2008 Euro Longdrivers Indoor Clash—and countless other top 5 finishes. He was also a finalist in the 2007 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship Finals held in Mesquite, NV. His personal best distance in competition and practice are 397 yards and 450 yards, respectively.

Paul is also a freelance sport scientist. He specialises in the biomechanics and motor control of human movement, specifically techniques used by athletes in sports and exercise. He has co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications in the areas of cricket and golf and has provided scientific support to numerous professional sports teams and athletes. Paul is currently undertaking a PhD on the application of non-linear dynamics to the analysis of human movement, the functional role of motor variability and its implications for performance and injury. Paul also serves on the Editorial Board of the Annual Review of Golf Coaching and is a contributory writer for the Titleist Performance Institute.
