Padraig Harrington's SECRETS To Hitting Longer Drives

[@meandmygolf.]

So much gold in this video, we hope you enjoyed it! Let us know down below which tip you liked the most🤯🏌🏻‍♂👇

[@nicholasherman84]

Been loving Paddy's golf tips since he began them. Some of the best youtube golf tips you can find. Glad you are spreading his wiosdom!

[@onesipwonder]

Tried the double over lap (had to google what it looks like), and the swing fast stop quick. Double overlap, feels very weird but definitely felt like my hands were melt together. Swing fast and stop quick, it gives me the green light to swing fast! I usually swing very slow.

[@mufc778]

that guy is a joke..51 🤣🤯🤯 absolute bomber

[@jameslaird4207]

Came down to comments to say he's gold - absolute gold!

[@snuglife599]

I met PH in 2009 when her was on top of the golfing world. He was so humble and cool. He talked to me for over ten min and was genuinely interested in what was going on in my life as opposed to his. My favorite golfer hands down…

[@poohbear4130]

Mr. Harrington is exactly what golf requires, no B.S. tons of energy and he actually gives us the pearls of a golf swing and shows the progression of the golf swing! I could listen to him all day, that’s years of failure and sweat and tears to get to be a major champion!

[@meandmygolf.]

Totally agree. So much amazing content in here. We could have listened all day.

[@Badfinger4]

Padraig is an absolute legend. Back to back Opens in ‘07 and ‘08 and also won the PGA in ‘08. That’s a damn good stretch of golf. Listen to this man!

[@meandmygolf.]

It was amazing to spend time with him. He's so passionate about the game. We did a match with him coming soon also. So much fun.

[@sprawlable]

@@meandmygolf. where do we get one of those black vests from? Looks amazing. Even if it’s not your brand embroidered. Where can I pick one up please

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

I love Paddy's channel. An absolute treasure trove of information. There's plenty of golden nuggets in his videos. This is just another gem that I'm sure his fellow playing competitors should be watching. Well done!!

[@meandmygolf.]

Awesome to have him on the channel and share his knowledge. Really enjoyed this one. Hope you did too.

[@chrishartney]

Padraig's tips are fantastic, and the enthusiasm with which he delivers them is infectious. That’s the quietest you two (Andy & Piers) have ever been on one of your videos. I love Paddy's Golf Tips.

[@meandmygolf.]

He really is Chris. When someone comes on like Padraig, we shut up and listen😂😂

[@ClaroCapilla]

This guy is a gem for us casuals. To hear an elite professional say, "this is popular but it isn't for amateurs; do this instead!" frees up so much headspace for average players like myself. Case in point, his 'active hands and wrists' videos sort of gave me permission/confidence to commit to being handsy (which felt more natural). I practiced on the mat after watching, and the next day, I scored 4 strokes lower my average. I've been scoring lower since then. I know 4-6 strokes isn't a lot for some, but as a beginner, it's a big confidence boost. Now I'm trying to tighten my chipping and his videov #1 is one of my primary references. I'm a fan and a grateful beneficiary of Paddy's passion for the game. Thank you, Mr. Harrington! PS: I also watch your videos, Piers and Andy! Haha! Cheers from the Philippines!

[@GuerillaRadio848]

Had absolutely the same thing happen after watching his lesson on being more “wristy” in the swing. Can’t believe how much distance and accuracy I was leaving on the table because I was obsessed with using the body to release the club and not “flipping” the hands through impact. Also the tip he shared here about trying to keep your back to the target as long as possible is the best feeling I’ve ever had to stop from coming over the top.

[@AndreeMarkefors]

Stopping at 12:03 to say that I love this man. =) So much passion that he couldn't stop himself if he tried. If the day ever comes when Padraig can do what Watson almost did, I'll open a bottle of champagne. Go for it! All the best!

[@timlillard390]

Well, this just blew the crap out of my driver swing concepts. It is so liberating to see Padraig grip it 'n' rip it. Speed is King. I took this to the range this morning, teed the ball a bit higher, sped up my arms and my hands - UP-DOWN-UP, and honestly hit the ball down the middle, 30-40 yards farther than I ever hit the driver in my life, and as a 77-year-old former 2-hdcp golfer, that's saying a lot. This instruction is absolute gold! I'd been trying to "steer" the ball down the middle instead of loosening up and letting my arms and hands generate speed and power. I don't know how this will translate to the course, but we'll see. Thank you!

[@rufussthoo4083]

I absolutely love Paddy's passion. And his enthusiasm for giving 'average' golfers the information they need, vs. what elite players need, is awesome. He has done that ever since he started his channel, and should be lauded for it. This video is full of gold, and that includes Paddy himself 😊

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed this Rufuss! Paddy was great. We have a playing one coming soon too.

[@rufussthoo4083]

@@meandmygolf. looking forward to that 👍

[@chrismadden6047]

Padraig is a much loved sports star and home in Ireland. He’s a great legend and is giving back so much to the game reaching people all over the world with his tips. His humour and straight talking makes him very relatable to the average weekend warrior as he calls it 👏👏👏👏

[@meandmygolf.]

It was a real treat to spend time with him and listen to his knowledge! Great guy with so much passion.

[@chrismadden6047]

He’s amazing and a great character

[@TheBooze13]

Paddy is an absolute legend!! Love this guy

[@arslanmughal243]

Just wowed on the level of information Padraig has summed up and demonstrated in one video !! Great content !!

[@user_1664]

Thats the best collaboration ive ever seen , pure gold .. best advice for me is “back to the target ant get those hands moving “ So so relevant to where i am atm . No ones more down to earth honest than padraig , mixed with you guys determination to make us better - thats all the driving lessons you need in one video . Where are my clubs !

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed this John. We have a playing one coming very soon.

[@michaelayre007]

We must protect Paddy at all costs.. the man is a living legend..not just an amazing golfer but one of the nicest people in sport full stop. I'll be backing you Paddy come open time. Definitely another major in you 💪⛳🔥🔥

[@Reffitt2]

Paddy's excitement and love of the game are so amazing after so many years of playing!

[@laogx4026]

Padraig just dropped so much gold!

[@meandmygolf.]

Amazing!!

[@christiande-rozario1831]

Thanks you si much for you It IS Always a pleasure to listen padraid . I love his fithing spirit . Go Irihs Christian from France

[@Mr.Bill-cnd]

Paddy's a fun and friendly inspiration. I'm going to have to watch this several times.

[@TD-qi2rw]

Gentlemen.....this maybe your best !! Congratulations to Padraig .......a terrific - courageous 2nd act and we are all looking forward to His 3rd & 4th act.

[@nsxdarin]

many good tings being mentioned here! 🇮🇪

[@garthsampson2988]

Absolute gems in that video. I’m going to be checking out and following Padraig from now on. Thanks for getting the info out. And Padraigs’ enthusiasm is infectious.

[@TTT-Turbo]

Brilliant. Saved to watch again later 👍🏼💪🏼👌🏼

[@mandrewcurry9416]

Always love Paddy's videos. So passionate, feels like he'd absolutely jump out of his skin to share what he's discovered. Thanks!

[@markshepherd7367]

Paddy you are the best, there’s nothing else left to say. No one comes close to saying what you are teaching, I just love your style.

[@jvelez1998]

Paddy’s enthusiasm jumps off of the screen! The man is a true champion and in his 50’s hitting it past the young boys. This makes him a threat to win a PGA event if he ever decided to split his time between the Champions tour. 👍

[@hermangroenewald6939]

Padraig is absolutely a phenomenal player and coach, never missing a video from him. Loved this video and how he has absolutely passion for golf. We need more people like him sharing ideas to improve golf. Greetings from South Africa 🏌🏻🏌🏻🏌🏻🇿🇦

[@Stantheman848]

Brilliant passion after so many years.... got to love Padraig!

[@saundg]

Love the passion that Padraig shows for golf

[@santtumaki6172]

Love it. I was told when picking up the game at an older age (40+) not to swing so hard. Well, hitting it easier didn't make the slice go away, but I kinda did figure it out and the ball is staying relatively well in play. My goal is to hit some effin' bombs this summer. Maybe a ball or two will be lost doing so, but that's OK, I think.

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

Lots of fun!! thanks again guys

[@jamesweaver7694]

Love Paddy’s Golf Tips - really helped me get the feeling of getting my hips/pelvis in the right position at impact. I also like some of the drills - the one where you stop at impact is great for getting the club head releasing and improving the strike. Great to have a major winner who is so enthusiastic about helping other golfers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@alistairbelford863]

Priceless👏👏

[@g_nw]

favorite driver video of all-time right here, paddy’s a treasure

[@henhouse110]

This is absolute gold I'm 1 of the golfers mr Harington was talking about I have plenty of speed but suffer with a slice

[@yup1379]

That was absolute gold. I have to watch this before each round and range session. Im 48 and out drive most guys i play with but it can always get faster. And btw big thanks to you two for bringing great content to us.

[@Chris_Traynor]

Paddy was so chill and focused when I followed him round the Alfred Dunhill but I love his enthusiasm when he gets riled-up!!

[@user-dc5zk1yk7w]

PADDY is the Gary Player of the 2000's. Lean and strong and full if useful golf knowledge

[@trxe420]

Paddy legit has some of the best instruction out there, he always has at least 1 nugget I have never heard before

[@RottenProfits]

Paddy's a legend. Favorite golfer.

[@jonnyconn666]

He actually laughs as you butcher his name 😂 0:25

[@dermotdublin8002]

They called him Padre I think, most golfers call him Paddy including Shane Lowry & Tiger, if I met him I would call him Padraig out of respect, but really enjoyed the content as usual👍

[@micko2007]

What a font of knowledge, he's getting better (and faster) with age.

[@cluman1]

This is the guy I keep looking for on the senior tour. He's somewhat unorthodox but that's why I like watching him play.

[@martineccleston5510]

Absolutely Brilliant to listen to you boys & mr Harrrington talking about golf cheers from the Astbury

[@billyburroo]

knowing how to swinging a golf club and playing golf are two different things padraig knows how to do both which is a rare thing indeed great video

[@chriswhite7236]

Been following Paddy since he started. Best instructor on youtube

[@maxwired2235]

Really enjoyed this!

[@j.d.7050]

Paddy is right about the open chest. So many Instagram instructors are teaching open positions but they aren’t teaching speed with the true speed sources. The hands, wrists, and arms are the foundation of 90% of speed. 99% of golfers aren’t as flexible as Rory or DJ. However, most golfers can reach 100 mph of driver speed with speed training and an understanding of speed.

[@beastly5569]

I've been watching Paddy's golf tips for the past few weeks and it has definitely helped my swing. I find his drills and tips about feels to be much easier to remember and practice.

[@meandmygolf.]

Great to hear!

[@andytoh-toh6488]

Padraig's channel has a lot golf great videos. I learned so much from him. Thanks guys for giving us this video.

[@meandmygolf.]

I started watching Padraig's channel recentl. Lots of good instruction.

[@andypne5454]

That was brilliant.

[@jamesbigga8843]

I enjoyed this!

[@pauldavis8286]

Thanks for the incredible tips. Once my rotator cuff is fully healed after surgery, I will be working on increasing my driver distance! I also enjoy watching Padraig play on the Champions Tour, and wish him continued success.

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed this Paul.

[@grahamdavidson3193]

Great video I went to the range and tried this and according to the range Trackman I went from hitting it my usual 240-250 to 260-270 with no loss of accuracy (not that I’ve ever been particularly accurate). Let’s see how it goes on the course now🤞

[@TonyToning-ne7uq]

Gotta love Padraigs enthusiasm for the game !! But you should of reminded him to breath !! 😂😂 he's going 10 To the dozen and ya can hear him gasping

[@alvermeil5884]

That was the best video I’ve seen on how to increase clubhead speed.

[@dle632]

This man is gold.

[@Graham-bg3ij]

Didn’t recognize them wearing different clothes for once - Mr Harrington is a great ambassador for golf and offers some great ideas here ( a little reluctantly) but great ideas

[@thorstenk.434]

Thanks Paddy! Love „keep it short and hit it fast/hard“ I had my best shots that way but struggled with my sometimes open club face. To fix it i took lessons snd stopped cause literally every pro told me to lengthen my backswing which i just can‘t, i am just not able to because it destabilises me.

[@golfskool]

Gold! 🔥🏌

[@liuchanghui1347]

Tried this on the range, it helps to hit the driver

[@jackbowman4788]

Thanks guys-wonderful video by a great champion. This suggests that we should have a different swing for our driver and our irons since with the driver we're trying to max our distance vs accuracy with our irons ?

[@streetsoundselectro124]

Top banana paddy. Best laymens instructions vids ever.

[@rtfcomputing4614]

Excellent video and recommend his other content. It's something that most amateurs with some practice can learn to do.

[@meandmygolf.]

Couldn't agree more!

[@robo265]

Paddy H is just brilliant

[@mikegreene8461]

I hope he wins the Open!!!

[@mikenomikos9040]

I love how mad he is at the idea of people playing badly 😄 🤣 he's a gem !

[@PDbingo122]

I am a professional golfer. His best advice was if you are amateur ignore the mainstream golf tips and lessons as they are geared towards the elite. An amateur swing is different. Spot on!

[@8fordhamsRC_adventures]

Awesome content. So , I am a super beginner at golf. This question may sound stupid but , when your swinging down , do you look at the ball or down range where your trying to send it ? I know from y’all’s videos you say you need to let the loft of the club to the work and stay consistent with your swings and drives , but I’m still figuring out how to get the ball down to where it needs to be. In some sports you look where you want it to go , and in others you look elsewhere. So , with golf … lol where do I look ?!

[@stephenbarr6558]

That grip for the driver .. doing it later 💪🏻

[@crispyduck1706]

You two commented I would never see you in different outfits - really great content in here thanks for the great video

Thanks for watching!

[@liuchanghui1347]

great

[@gungagalunga9040]

70% of the power is in the hands? wow, Ben Hogan and Moe Norman talked about the hands and arms moving as one unit.. I might try to be more handsy in the drive from now on... I hit it 280

[@fatbagz957]

Anyone else’s first introduction to paddy was a sports science where he hit happy Gilmore bombs with diver.

[@bigboy9842]

So good

[@ottawapop]

He must be the fastest player on the course, just a bundle of energy.

[@peeslev]

Great video. Love his tips, keeps it simple. PS, lads, his name is pronounced Pawdrig or Pawrick even though it's spelt Padraig. 😂

[@type64jj]

padraig is still excited about hitting the ball longer instead of being hesitant stale and short like most players.

[@mattiasfallmyr3423]

I am taking the "swing as hard as possible" drill to the first tee later

[@daveythwaites4667]

Such a great video - I would love a chance of a golfing lesson with the pair of you. 😊 ⛳️

[@j.d.7050]

You have to love to hit the ball harder in order to gain speed as you age. Passion is number one. Most people set limits on what they can achieve. Not Paddy.

[@josephlavelle2183]

To help non Irish the Pronunciation for Padraic is Pawrick.

[@jayp48998]

This is the hilarious side of Paddy we never seen 😅
