Absolutely the best teacher in golf

Padraig, your passion for teaching is inspirational.

I was never a particularly big fan of Mr. Harrington until recently. I watched his match with Pete Finch and warmed up to his humour and personality. I then discovered this channel. It is easily the best golf instruction channel on youtube. I can’t thank Mr. Harrington enough for helping me with my game. Needless to say, i will be rooting for him whenever i catch him playing a tournament on TV! Again … a huge thank you!

Brilliant coach for a KZread freebie. I have changed my grip and chipping due to his suggestions. Game is in a good place

You're a legend Padraig

I get far too excited when I see a new Padraig Harrinton video. Golf is a real problem.

There are far many worse things to be addicted to… Golf and Paddy are a positive…. For me personally I prefer to think of it as an opportunity in a few different ways…. #1 … It’s Golf!!!! #2 … it’s Padraig Freakin Harrington who just happens to have 3 Majors, a couple Ryder Cups, Top 10’s all over the Planet, and let’s not forget that he’s in the H.O.F. …. Last but not least because that’s only if whoever is watching this is in a certain age group most likely, it’s mental, emotional, and physical activity that can help you stay just a little bit healthier in the long run…. Hope everyone enjoys this amazing opportunity to learn from this gentleman and apply the lessons on the course and maybe even in life as well…. Hit Em Straight n Not too Often, Cheers!!!

Hes by far one of the easiest pros to follow on yt lowered my handicap 10.5 strokes in a few months.

Unusual that someone is both a great player and a great teacher...Padraig is both.

I remember being around 13 and spending the whole summer (18-36 holes everyday day + practice) focusing on nothing but changing my grip because I had a real strong grip as a junior and it took the whole year to feel comfortable with it. It was the most awkward thing. 20 years later I don’t even think about it, a nice nutrual grip feels so natural but when I was changing it, it felt so weird for so long, eventually though it becomes ingrained and you won’t understand how you used to grip it differently.

Thank you so much Padraig for making these =D I finally started my Fat Loss Golf for cardio arc. I began my 250lbs weight loss journey last November at 546lbs and currently 460lbs and decided to teach myself golf completely from scratch and i'm doing so primarily using your videos. My plan is learn to hit Sand wedge and Pitch Wedge along w/ putting before I touch anything else. After I am somewhat proficient w/ the wedges I will add a 7 iron. Then I will use those 4 clubs to play 9 holes and not even touch my driver until I can reliably hit pars. I want to build my foundation properly and listen to all the OG wisdom of (Short game/putting is where the money is made) and so thats where imma focus. I putted today for first time and was amazed at how well I did. Over 90% within 2 feet and about 70% at 3 feet after just watching your putting video and applying it. I was even making good amount from 4-5 feet. Thank you so much Mr. Harrington for taking the time to make these videos. I am rapidly falling in love w/ golf and what started as a form of low intensity steady state cardio is turning into something more. My soul literally tingles when im playing =D

Keep up the hard work my dude!

I came across from the finch video. It's very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to what Padraig has to say.

Yes, so true and funny at 8:30. When I'm playing with someone or group for the first time, I can tell right away how they are going to play right from their setup and waggle or non-waggle.

Ain’t that the truth.

Great tips Mr Harrington

Brilliant video thanks for sharing your knowledge ⛳️⛳️⛳️

Thank you very much, Padraig!

This was phenomenal thank you

Thanks for revisiting the "Grip" Paddy. My grip has been getting more and more weird lately. My confidence over the ball and subsequently scores have been suffering. Back to a more regular grip for me 😁

Nice one Paddy!

Your a good man paddy!

Enjoyed your podcast with Peter Finch

I’ve seen him do it a few times and each time has be creased with laughter when he does the static head down stuck in the mud stance 🤣🤣

Legend

it's not in this video but would like you to elaborate on your "packed shoulder" (trail shoulder) feeling that you have mentioned before. Relates to Pete Cowan's teachings but would like to see a video on this. thanks for providing such approachable content. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I was given the gift of a love of the game, but not with a great deal of skill. Seems like a cruel joke from God. But these videos have been excellent. Since I have had to choose a different career path and now I’m slowing down and getting close to retirement these videos have been excellent. I’ve been able to improve at the game. This grip video is great. I focus on my pinky and fourth finger of my left hand which has improved my grip tremendously. Padraig if you read these gratitude from a lifelong golfer. You are unselfish and awesome for sharing.

Sorry, what’s a pull up? 😂😂😂 Paddy always delivers 🇦🇺❤️⛳️

Cant wait to see my partners faces when i start doing my figure 8s on the 1st box next weekend😂

Padraig your videos are fantastic. Could I ask what you would recommend to help an over the top movement ?

3/4 swing will help that and you will hit it just as far

I bought a grip mold and cut the head of the club off held it every time I watched TV all winter. When I get the club in the palm when I get lazy especially with the driver the duck hooks come

Pads and Tums.. is that a potatoes and vegetables, or neighbours going for drink, or is that a saying for I’m putting on my socks and shoes you Irish people have the coolest slang!

I notice I'm much more consistent and straighter with a 10 figure grip vs overlap/interlocked. Is it really worth it to try and re-learn my swing by changing to an overlap/interlocked?

Should I use exactly the same grip on driver as with irons??? It would make sense to have different grip because of different ball positions and swing path. @padrigharington

PLEASE would you give us instruction on how to hit fairway woods... I'm struggling!

Padriag illustrates pulling the arms into the body while coming into impact. Is this a thing that works to control swing radius and improve ground contact (less deep divots)?

@TheWedgeWizard

That’s just what is happening, opposing forces. That’s why the club doesn’t just go flying out, you’re pulling back.

Lovely Paddy, hoping to get out again next week or so. Been playing golf + vr for last couple of months while the weather was poor 😂 What's the story with locking little finger and index finger? Is that a must?

@TheRealWarez

2 ай бұрын

It's called the "interlocking grip" and no, it is not required. Your other option is the overlap, where the little finger sits on top of the index finger (basically the little finger of your trail hand never comes in contact with the grip). Those are the 2 "correct" grips based on current golfing knowledge/information. There is a third grip, the baseball grip, where you grip the golf club just like a baseball bat, but I don't know of any professional or semi-professional golfer who has used that grip in decades. I'm no Padraig Harrington, but I hope that helps!

Every one always talks most about the left hand ( for a right handed golfer ) I always have trouble with the right hand sneaking under or to strong

How do you know if the clubhead is square to the line if the clubhead is in the air when you're gripping it?

@auriferous4462

2 ай бұрын

You look at the club face when gripping to see that you grip it square to your body, then you place it square to target.

"hopefully we're all doing pull ups" yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure.

Hi Mr.Padraig I just listened to you on the Peter Finch who I just love I am following Peter for many yrs Would I like to ask you if you can help me with my swing? I have been playing golf for 30 yrs and still can't it an iron I have tried everything with no success. Will you please help me? I know that sounds nuts, but I am ready to quit for the hundreds of times, but this time, I am getting close .I am athletic in good shape, but it may be in the head, lol can you help me? Thanks ,

What grips are on your clubs Paddy?

I must say that Padraig Harrington got the absolute most out of his game. Although Lee Westwood, and Darren Clarke were more naturally talented, Paddy won when it mattered most.

"Play around in front of your TV" ... I am on third TV now.

No mention of the RIGHT hand position??

strong or weak grip was not the theme of this video. The theme is grip it WITH THE FINGERS 😊

I'm also going to "allow" myself to add one more thing, just as essential as the grip, and that's your club's handle. How many of us have grips that are worn and no longer hold anything???

The best!! Hope we get to play together sometime. 🏌
