He is such a sound golf instructor. Forget all the crap and polished productions. He just cuts to the chase, and doesn't let any schools of thought push him around. This is some of the best stuff I've seen, and I've watched a lot. He's no fluff, just logical. Thanks Paddy.

Paddy was born to teach choppers, but has picked up a few big jugs and other hardware and many millions along the way. Thanks for being down to earth and helping hackers. Good luck in the Ryder Cup.

This 9 minute video has seen me make the single largest improvement to my iron shots since I started playing golf. Night and day improvement. It's never felt so easy before - leveraging skills I learned playing tennis. Thanks Padraig!!

This tip is insane, I watched the video went to the range and had the biggest Aha moment of my golfing life, the crispness and distance felt amazing, complete transformation.

85% of so called golf instructors selling their junk on KZread are teaching less to hardly any hand and wrist action....this is what we call "Old School" or what really works....

Couldn't agree more, I must have spent years trying to smash the ball using big muscles with inconsistent (and tiring!) results, this simple insight has opened my eyes to something that looks so obvious once you've clocked it but can be difficult to fathom if you're not naturally gifted (I'm not).

I agree with that. My philosophy is centered around the levers.

I tried this at the range tonight and it totally transformed my iron shots. Before i was trying to smash the ball hard with limited success, but this showed me it's all about the timing of the release coupled with a smooth tempo. Thanks!

It’s a treat watching and listening to a player of Padraig’s stature. We all get hung up in textbook positions and never think about feel. Time to get out to the range.

I have watched many videos and become somewhat confused. Went to the range today after watching this video and I now believe this instruction could be my salvation. Many thanks to this fine instructor, golfer and man. Best of luck!

Great video, could not agree more. So many instructors and videos are trying to increase lag by having you hold your wrist angles and not flip. What they don’t say is that all players have to release their wrist angles which means all players flip. The key is when the flip happens. Amateur players definitely release earlier than better players but we all flip. The key is timing when the release happens and lag is created by lower body rotation, not by artificially holding your wrists back. Well done Paddy 🏌🏻‍♂️

This video is GOLD!!! He dispels several myths and gives all of us USEFUL information and principles. New long term subscriber.

Hi Padraig! I love how you started KZread to output the right knowledge bc there's such misinformation. I'm a junior ambassador for the SCGA in California which serves under served juniors in the inner cities and it would be amazing if we could host a clinic with you. If you would be willing, let's connect! I know your time in the states are slim but whenever your free, we will be free. Talk to you soon!

As a scratch player Ive watched quite a few of these. What Paddy THINKS he does and what he does are two different things. This one, for example, the moment the smalls muscles and joints (wrists) are focused on, you're screwed. Not good advice. Yes he's a Hall of Famer, but MANY elite golfers can't translate what they're doing properly. "Active" wrists is not a good explanation. I think what he is means is "relaxed wrists" without tension, and let them do what they will do naturally without tension holding them off.

Sir Paddy, I have to say I was never a big fan of yours. But after seeing your passion for helping others...aka... Common Weekend Warriors...aka...Hackers...here on KZread, I now know I was all wrong about you Sir. And for that, I sincerely apologize. This has to be the best most to the point succinct lesson I have ever seen. No positioning P 1-6 talk, but just simply how to freely swing and control the club, specifically the face. Hats off Sir! Thank you for your unselfish love of the World's Greatest game! I'll be rooting for you from know on in medal tournament play, but being American, no can do in the Ryder Cup! Lol! But still, good luck to the Europeans there as well! God Bless, and I wish you the best of luck out on The Tour! Your new fan...

Learning from a legend. What's not to love?

Amazing to watch him hit balls! Thank you for showing us mere mortals how to swing a golf club.

Padraig…you have to be one of the most humble tour players!! Thank you for taking the time for us weekend warriors!! Awesome video!!

Thanks Padraig. Enjoying & learning from your videos

Thanks, Paddy! Great to know that an elite player flips their wrists. Many an ‘expert’ sees a body stall & flip and starts teaching ‘hold the angle’ nonsense.

Now I watch players who are built more like I am. 5'9 - 195 lbs. Stocky. None of this left arm straight hands away from the body. Just keep the wrists loose and the arms and shoulders without tension and the ball goes farther with less effort. Just turn a little faster and more with feet,ankle knees and hips. Narrower stance helps too if your hips aren't super flexible.

Thought about wrists tip on my round today. Direction and distance were great with my irons and pitching. Thanks man. Got the feel back.

Excellent tip along the lines of what the great Bob Toski said. Noted teacher Bob Toski, though, loves to hit mammoth drives from his knees. The point, Toski says, is that the hands, wrists and arms can generate a huge amount of power. “I just don’t understand what these people (big-muscle advocates) are talking about,” Toski says. “The body can’t make a swing, because the body isn’t touching the club. You can’t get any speed from your shoulders.

Why have I not seen this channel? Maybe I have. Best instruction video out there by a dude who has a few majors to his name.

Great teaching! I love the unedited-ness of the video! Lol! Classic and REAL is Padraig!

Thanks Paddy. These two videos are the best videos I have seen on the golf swing. I think most players learn golf without learning how to control the face at all, and then end up trying to control the ball with their bodies. Thanks a million, from Dublin. I believe your best is yet to come.

Thanks again, Padraig!! Your videos are absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting. Greatly appreciated.

Paddy you got a mic! Sounds great!

Another excellent lesson from a golf legend. Thank You

I used to normally flip the club and I was a fairly decent golfer somewhere around eight handicap. I started watching the golf instruction that said that it's not a good idea to flip the club and to hold lag as long as possible. And it literally tanked my game. I went to the golf range after watching the second lesson and I started getting my consistency back instantly. Thank you for sharing the information it helps out weekend 🏌🏻‍♂️

This video has transformed my game. I am getting much more distance in both driver and irons. Would recommend it to any high handicapper

This is gold. Thank you.

One take Harrington!!! Love it. Dude is awesome !!!

Thank you “one take Harrington”. What a relief to see such a natural way to swing the club.

One take Harrington......nice one 😉

Excellent teacher and thanks for posting. This shows us some of the subtleties of the game that can save shots on the course. This is stuff you don't learn when you go for a quick fix from your local pro.

You probably know already but your theory on skill learning is spot on. The best way to learn a new movement pattern is not to do 100s of reps of the ideal but do 100s alternating extremes around the ideal. Your body will then naturally zone in on the ideal without being forced.

Following this advice made a significant improvement in both my irons and woods. It also helped me hitting draws and cuts. Thank you Padraig for making the video.

Watched this and just went and hit the best bucket of balls ever. Thank you!

I’ve tried for years to figure out how to get the wrist down. Watched a million videos. Watched this one time and it changed my game forever. It was only possible with the right grip. My grip was waaaay wrong! It stopped my early release. And improved my distance dramatically. This video is priceless..

Thanks Patty enjoyed this video best wishes this year on tour

I started and fell in love with golf a year ago at age 55. They say it takes a year to learn your basic swing. I have watched hundreds of videos that stress using straight arms, shoulders, legs and torso only. "Never use wrists is their message". I have struggled to get consistency. My golf partner recently told me my swing was too robotic too "Woody" and to use the wrists more. I refused from all the advice on KZread. I tried flicking wrists last week on the driving range. What a Eurica moment? This video confirms my lesson and I am so greatful. Begin with short whip shots then lengthen the swing and incorporate the other principles. Thank you. I have subscribed as you hit the nail on the head for me.

Simple and straight forward, never confusing💓💓

Now world class on KZread, thanks Paddy. thats cleared a few myths up, personally i would prefer to listen to you with out the background music, but thats just my PO.👍👍👍

Simple tutorial from the master! Thanks Paddy👍🏌️‍♂️

Love the explanation for wrist action through impact

Simple to the point, no nonsense explanations brilliant Paddy 👍

Padraig Harrington,thankyou for your time and amazing tutorials. If your videos aren’t helping to improve our game then nothing will!

Padi you are the best teacher hands down!! Congrats on your win last week!! I really enjoy your content. You are a true master with that club in your hands!

This is my second time commenting on this video but I just need to express how helpful this lesson was. I have watched countless hours of golf instruction online but this video right here has had the most positive impact on my iron game. Bar none. If I'm ever having a bad round or bad range session I literally just revert back to using my wrists in the swing and I inevidably hit it straighter and more consistently. I might not get the distance that I would from my full body driven swing, but my body driven swing is so inconsistent lately that the slight yardage loss is irrelevant. My golf progress had plateaud until I watched this video. A couple of range sessions later I played my best round of my life. Recently I got conned (again) into thinking I was missing out on something by not fully using my body, firing my hips, generating ground force etc etc. I started going back down that rabbit hole and and my swing quickly went to sh*t afterwards. Today I was having the MOST frustrating range session because of this and then I remembered this lesson. I dropped all the fluff and got back to short swings and using my wrists and started flushing straight shots immediately. Thank you Paddy.

Great stuff Padraig!

I LOVE... the soothing background music! THANK YOU "Winner of The GOLD MEDAL!"

Love your instruction Padraig. Thanks.

Three time major winner and class act. I remember Shane Lowry went to his home , walked into the kitchen and the replica claret jug was sitting on the counter by the sink. Let me tell you; Mr. Harrington ISN'T full of himself.

Your the man paddy!!! I've always loved your game. Thank you so much for these tips. 💯👍

Cheers Paddy. A busy man but time to do these is appreciated. 👍

very cool not over complicated videos. Thanx mr one take Harrington

Best advice I’ve ever had firing my right hand over the top for a draw instead of bowing my left wrist. I love it thank you!!

Thank you Padraig. Been struggling with my game this year and been practicing really hard and having lessons to get out of my slump. This 10 minute video is brilliant. I was striping it at the range today.

That was really helpful Padraig, looking forward to trying the faster wrists. Cheers

No joke this video and his other one on the shoulders and torso has just lead to the best round of golf I’ve played all season. Paddy your videos are incredible, they’re short but incredibly detailed and this leads to them being easy to remember and internalise. They’ve genuinely made a material difference to my game.

Hi padraig. Got to say your communication skills are just brilliant. Great video great advice and humour along the way. Many thanks.

The chip shots lesson you taught to add wrists in chipping. First it was awkward but now i consistently use wrists in chipping. For wristy full swing I'll give it a try. Thanks a lots PH.

The bag was listening so attentively and actually followed the word 'FLIP'. LOL Congrats on the Senior Cup, Paddy.

Thanks Padraig! This was extremely helpful! Can’t wait to try it!

A seasoned pro encouraging flipping, instead of all this hold the angle, lag, brilliant for us oldies, tried it today, massive difference in ball striking, cheers Paddy

Thanks Paddy. You the man. Love this.

I love that get your wrists active, have done this for years never mind what they say. Believe it or not you can do the same with the putter it depends on you. Really like your style paddy, keep it up.

Thank you for this video! Going back to using my hands as a more active part of my swing made a huge difference in length and timing.

I've had lessons from many good club pros! My best tuition comes from an ex European Tour Pro Steve Harrison who played with Seve and Sandy. He knew how to play at the highest level like Padraig invaluable no nonsense real world coaching! Great video cheers!
