How to Improve Swing Speed | Paddy's Golf Tips #51 | Padraig Harrington

[@daveparry2177]

I love Padraigs enthusiasm after playing the game for so long...he's a legend

[@FatDivotGolf]

Completely Agree!

[@kmrk4055]

Yeah, exactly what I thought.

[@peteg8920]

Pete Cowan's natural assets appeared to be in the danger zone when Padraig was getting really enthusiastic there.

[@jameslaird4207]

He’s special. What other multiple major champion puts so much into teaching others? None!

[@kmrk4055]

@@jameslaird4207 I agree most are distant uncommunicable, but Padraig is class and so relatable. Who else does this in modern era?

[@jsee2385]

Boys, these are the two guys you wanna take golf advice from. Paddy, keep putting work into YT. I know your a busy man still playing pga events. We love and appreciate the effort you're putting in. Thanks man.

[@Crinklidge]

That tip about everything happening earlier than you think is probably the best golf advice ever

[@dansiebens9441]

Thank you for offering these lessons... It's generous, classy, and genuinely helpful.

[@mulle27]

Probably the only channel golfers really need

[@christophercoleman857]

I love the exasperation in Paddy's voice...brilliant!

[@shane-irish]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@harbordcricket3321]

exasperated with that idiot talking over him.

[@carnivorouscanuck729]

I love Padraig's never stop learning attitude.At 76 yo it keeps my brain healthy. I hope to apply it to my golf game.

[@tmunday7270001475143]

Two of the best Ever. Met Pete Cowan once, well kind of I was walking past him, he stopped, looked at me & said "You're Welcome" then turned and walked away. Well Thank you Mr. Pete Cowan! Thank you

[@phreak761]

😂

[@bl6369]

Pete Cohen probably hates the way Padraig completely simplifies the golf swing where Cohen uses big words and theories to make the swing sound more complicated than it needs to be. But when a multiple major winner talks everyone listens. Great job Paddy!

[@davidboling5361]

The key that you covered about releasing early really helped me. I was turning and leaving the hands and arms behind. It’s not easy to understand the difference until I tried a few different ways to release early. But finally got it. Thanks for helping us average golfers. I am 65 and still learning.

[@glennwoods1846]

Padraig and Pete, thank you for all your efforts providing quality instruction to help amateur golfers improve!

[@jordanelmquist3202]

Once I understood this concept my game in golf significantly changed. I stopped the shoulders first and allowed the separation of the upper body and lower body to happen firing the hands down and everything else will follow. From there you can then really build a solid swing. Great tip.

[@Costigs01]

Wow, havent even watched the video yet but after 30 seconds seeing paddy and pete, this is going to be a video i watch multiple times over the next few days. My two favourite golf personalities

[@Stantheman848]

Peronality is pushing it a bit for pete?

[@alanripka2968]

These lessons/thoughts are so great. To hear this is invaluable and very enjoyable. Their passion for the swing is contagious.

[@perfectline5473]

What a find! Been following Pete and Padraig separately on differing channels and to find them together laying out the Spiral, the importance of sequencing and starting small to build consistent swings is gold. Thank you both!

[@rickgoble6960]

Thank you for your time and great advice Padraig! Ive been following you for some time and enjoy the get right to it style of swing tips. I've been a 5 hdcp for 40 years - turn 70 this year and ended last season at 3.5. Got driver swing speed to 101 with goal of 110 and get to scratch. look forward to new content whenever it comes. Best of luck to you this season! Rick

[@Gigity1107]

Great stuff about the shorter swing. I find that I subconsciously, gradually increase the effort I put into shots, especially when I'm getting tired, till it gets to the point where I'm swinging out of my shoes for ever decreasing returns. Then when the penny finally clicks that that's what I'm doing. I'll make a 3/4 feel swing and all of a sudden. The strike is better and the distance has returned. Love these tips, thanks.

[@tyreynolds6211]

I love watching paddy teach , always excited to give tips!

[@kellyrick4365]

Yayyy, something else to try this weekend. Thanks Paddy

[@Omnis2]

I used to block and fade/slice almost everything until I saw a Golf Sensei video a few months ago and realized how the "instagram" or "Golf Channel" stereotypical "lag position" swing was killing me. Only by forcing my hands to "flip" and hit a high weak hook on command was I able to realize how slow my hands were and that's exactly what Paddy has been saying is wrong with us Amateurs for his last several videos. Excellent vid and tips here. So cool to find a tour pro making content who knows what he's talking about, especially for us regular golfers!

[@petergheaja4108]

Which golf sensei video are you referring to? I watched a few looking for this info

Love these solid tips. All those others so called internet golf guru preaches turning the left hip back so fast back that the hands is practically impossible to catch up.

[@mikebechtol]

Paddy is so good at getting the point across...love his lessons.

Lets go Paddy!!! He gave me his ball, a high five, and he signed my golf ball at the Houston Open Round 2!!!

[@NeilWoodSales]

This is so useful to increases clubhead speed - that I definitely need and want this season. I like Pete's comment about the effectiveness of this simple drill without hitting tons of golfballs. Thank you Padraig and Pete. - Boston, Mass

[@FreakyGolf88]

Brilliant once again Pádraig, really good video,you are the best,I got a lot of power,use to train in gym before I start playing golf but honestly I don't know how I can use it efficiently and still practice these drills and unlock my swing, unfortunately have a knee injury and restrict me a lot but when a feel ok I just hitting bombs!!!

[@garylucas7050]

Paddy the gift that keeps on giving …..thanks MR H

[@jasiekyoutuber3762]

I’ve seen the split hands drill but after this video I finally understood why it’s important and how to translate the drill into my swing. Thank you Paddy and Pete! Fantastic video

[@brucerussell5469]

the most important thing to do in that drill is try to stop the club/shaft/arms at waist high on the downswing...amazing how much force is then slammed forward in the clubhead....this has really helped my iron game.

[@jeffparnell5916]

Love it Paddy. Thanks for doing this video! So many instructors teach that huge body rotation for speed and just end up spinning out. Absolute speed killer!

[@jean-paulreveyoso5546]

Love Paddy! Don’t be too hard on us amateurs. We’ve been given a lot of bad lessons, and tips for years!

[@Not.Satoshi]

You know we are in a golden era when we get two legends together, like these two, in one video for free!

[@billfeeny6897]

The most " dynamic duo" for sure . Great stuff

[@maxoutplanner5053]

I love this video. Thanks Padraig! You rock.

[@toma9976]

I love Paddy’s instructions. Most world class pros can’t explain these fundamental concepts as well!

[@macattack5272]

This stuff is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈. I was swinging out of my shoes, ripping my arms and hands through the swing. The more balls I hit, the more sequenced my body became. I'm 69, a former 2, who was ruined by Leadbetter/Faldo nonsense. By the end of the session, I was crushing it a touch left with a baby draw. Paddy! You are such a great guy for doing this. A real system to make us better.

[@chriswhite7236]

Great lesson again Paddy! Had a friend notice I have a short backswing. Tried lengthening my swing but soon realised I could hit the ball just as far more consistently with a shorter compact swing.

[@mik2176]

Is a priviledge to be inside of a master´s mind for a moment. thank you

[@BobS-vq3yn]

Padraig, I love your videos, you just put things in a way I can understand and have really helped get my handicap down. Keep up the videos

[@gregcochennet385]

I love watching your videos. I wish I had 1/10 of your ability. You show that even though you are getting older there are ways to continue to keep up your ball speed. Keep up the good work and giving us older golfers more hope to keep enjoying the game.

[@ivancamphor2886]

Brilliant tips that makes sense and communicated clearly fantastic 👍

[@davidfilan4186]

I wish I could get the chance to speak with Padraig in person. These lessons are awesome.

I love listening to you Padraig, we’re cut from the same cloth, you’re a thinking man’s golf coach

Excellent! A man not only very capable of competing at the highest level in the game but could also be a top quality instructor. Love it

[@michaelclohosey7645]

Thanks again Padraig - it’s fab that you share all your experience and skill so freely - also of course Pete Cowan excellent

[@goforbirdies]

Nice, I trust you more than other youtubers.

[@dermotbell7059]

I loved the Tommy Fleetwood tip you used of trying to stop the club at the ball. I always tried to rotate body faster to increase speed but this stop drill instantly added 10yds carry to my driver. Happy days. Thanks

[@darienchin3273]

Pearls of wisdom in the banter akin to an old married couple haha. Loved this video on many levels, this free learning is a blessing to us peasants of golf.

Paddy is not 67. He is in his early 50s

[@neilharris4479]

Great video and partnership, long may it continue. Love the advise to get everything in place by delivery 👍

[@brettschultz5150]

Yeah these other golf instructors are making it seem like you should drag the club through and create lag. The swing is an arc and needs to be released earlier in the right position creating natural lag. This video kicks ass 🔥

[@gregorahellus7230]

Pure gold, thank you!!!

[@rodralph824]

A while ago you were saying to swing the club as fast as you can and don’t worry about where it goes!

[@PatrickMclaughlinRock]

Brilliant as usual Padraig 👏 nice to see Pete Cowan with you. Ádh mor

[@markio2010]

When most of us talk about getting stuck, this is exactly what happens. You make a big turn, and your upper and or lower body fires and your arms get left behind and somewhat blocked from accelerating. I noticed that when I let my arms get off my chest and down, I can swing freely with a,lot more speed.

[@kmrk4055]

Thanks a lot. Trouble is the pros do things naturally, we amateurs are ingenious at finding ways to do the wrong thing! Still working on it. It's almost never what it looks like or what you think it is, so we're always trying to do the wrong thing in the first place. I can relate to the spinning out of it. When I let my arms go past my body it's left going left with a touch of left.

[@mikewilson9774]

This drill has helped me with driver immensely. Have hit some of my longest drives. Oh by the way also hitting 85% of fairways.

[@LeslieGreenwood-bu9tn]

Awesome, thanks guys.

I've watched quite a few Pete Cowan videos on You Tube, all very good and clearly he's a very knowledgeable and experienced coach, by why does he always come across as the most miserable northerner on the internet!? You're getting paid $$$ to coach golf mate, crack a smile once in a while ;)

[@lukethegooner]

I wrote that before I watched the video, Pete Cowen smiles and laughs in this video. Wtf. It must be Padraig's Irish charm ... :D

[@monkx1z1]

Watching the Hoag- His bounce back birdie on 17th- Padriag is a stud

[@shane-irish]

Champion

[@martyngrimley3675]

Played a lot of hockey in my time and have that shorter backswing described. Always trying to think of ways to make it longer but even on the range I have no idea, zero, about where the club is. Never even thought about going shorter as a method, going to try that and the hand separated swing. Fingers crossed. Thanks everyone so much !!

[@bruceford9413]

I slso played hockey but curiously s pro in Florida pointed out that i dont have the Canadian typical slap shot swing. Now when i travel i play "find the Canadian". I just look for a blast frm the blue line. It works do often its hilarious! Perhaps you will find me saying hello some fay and wonder who the hell i am! Haha

[@richardskinner5050]

Brilliant Paddy

[@joneastelow3242]

Pete's the daddy.....Is Paidraig teaching Pete??....lol....Great video, thanks Padraig.

[@Endall961]

I'm releasing too early (that's what she said) and currently drill is to hold the release to time it later. I overdid the earlier release and now I need to work it back again.

[@prestonnull4009]

Great video. ❤

[@watersoilsun847]

This is real! as real as it gets.

[@pbabs3389]

The Jon Rahm half swing drill is a perfect example of what he is talking about for anyone looking for a drill

[@MikeCrook-hv9qp]

On the downswing, which arm has the greatest influence of moving the club, the lead arm or the trailing arm?

[@LowsHand]

Is Padraig giving lessons by himself to any amateurs? Would love to have one...

[@GeeTee308]

Padrig should be capt. of the Irish LIV team! Call them the Clovers!
