What Nobody Tells You About Footwork in the Golf Swing | Paddy's Golf Tips #50 | Padraig Harrington

[@johnanthony6092]

When your coach finishes the lesson out of breath, you know it's been a good one.

[@briang6168]

I noticed Paddy getting out of breath on other videos. If it was me I would get a medical. Especially my heart and valves checked.

[@ruatoomey9107]

It’s from all the cigs he stamped out as a kid😂😂😂

[@kenny7652]

Hi Padraig, How do I get a reply to the emails I sent to you on your website. I have been sending you emails and, as yet, never got a reply. Is this a website issue.

[@nickytheyahoo_]

A golfer should never be out of breath 😂😂, give us a fuggin break

[@jamesharris184]

Best golf videos online hands down thank you for taking the time. Those who know come here first.

[@asdrubalpoker7069]

Padraig, I´ve being a great fan for over a decade! I havent golf since I had a hart attack 9 years ago. At that time I use to shoot around 85. Today was the first time I went to a drive range in 9 years! Hit 2 Buckets of balls, because of your youtube channel. Thank you!!!! Hope you you get doble the inspiration you gave me!!!!!!!!! I am 55 years old now by the way. If you ever come to Brazil who know we can play a golf match! God bless you!

[@andrewtaylor1737]

Welcome back

[@stuart.s]

Such a great lesson. The beauty of Padraig’s teaching is he does it with actions, feelings and dynamic movement. Awesome lesson.

[@davidmonk6139]

Thanks Padraig, what a revelation. That’s the clearest explanation for the leg action I’ve ever watched. To be honest I thought that at the top of the backswing my weight should all be on my right leg.

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

Padraig is a throwback to the old days of the tour. When players were teaching professionals as well. Some of these young players can't articulate the how, what, when, and where. Ask them why do they do this or that and their coach will answer for them. Great stuff Padraig. I love your contributions to Bob Rotellas book "The 15th Club".

[@Hoeks21]

Paddy's golf tips have helped me more than any other KZbin golf videos... and I've watched most of them..

[@macattack5272]

Paddy! You just gave us Hogan's secret in 2 videos. Push the right hip back and transition by pushing down hard on the left foot! Teaching pros everywhere are damning you. Thanks so much. I almost started crying at the range as I was flushing shot after shot. I'll be following you in Phoenix. Keep up with the great tips.

[@billfeeny6897]

Watched the video twice yesterday morning, played in the afternoon and the "think up only, and the down will take care of itself" produced instant results. What a short cut.

[@cubfan69kmz85]

Wow, there are so many gold nuggets of instruction in this video. Padraig is an awesome teacher as well as an awesome golfer.

[@peterboehm5178]

Love the passion and energy you put into golf, thanks for the great update on footwork

[@markanderson2713]

Is it me or does Padraig look like he loves this? Jesus… he’s a great teacher.

[@zeissmanzeissman5852]

Wow how lucky are we to have lessons from one of the best golfers of all times. Thank you so much Paddy😊

[@cdunne1620]

.. The great thing about this level of detail is that it acts as a template/example with which I reckon most half decent golfers will figure it out. Padraig is a natural born teacher, no doubt about it, thank you very much 👏

[@bennyclare7237]

Playing golf 20 yrs & this is my biggest struggle! I dont use my legs at all. Had a lesson 2day and my Pro got me to do step drills! & told my to stay of you tube! 😂 but when ur addicted to the game wat can u do 🤷‍♂️😁 Thanks Paddy from 1 Dub to another 💙 watch this space 💪

[@simont9984]

Love that you take the time to make these instructional videos, world class golf by a world class golfer! Thanks mate!

[@percylang]

This is a brilliant lesson. The two-step drill has been around for ages (Bob Toski must have got it from somewhere 40 years ago). A single step forward, however, seems relatively new and all the advice is to make the move as soon as the club swings back to P1. Paddy's advice to do it at P2 gives the golfer a much better chance of completing the backswing. It felt great in the garden and hope springs eternal.

[@markanderson2713]

Can you imagine how lucky we are as amateur players to be listening to a major winner like Paddy, giving us personal golf instruction the way he does. Man oh man, are we lucky thank you Paddy. Excuse me while I go into my backyard and start practicing.

[@macattack5272]

I'm with you. This guy can't spend the money he's made and he's really helping anyone who will watch, how to be a player. For free!

[@johnronan5478]

Padraig, without a doubt, one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on foot/leg work and ground forces. Thank you very much and can't wait to experiement.

[@bruceford9413]

This is Dr. Kwon stuff and really modern bio mechanics! It is also a great example of why Paddy is always eagerly awaited by most of us. No bullpoop and no rabbit holes . This is tough stuff for those of us taught the swing in a certain way. I have been working on it for a year but it is a tough change. You likely will need professional help to do it correctly. Without a doubt Padraig offers the best REAL golf advice i have ever seen. Thank you Paddy, and also for the Dublin travel tips!😮

[@Reza-be6kn]

TRULY A MASTER PIECE. I have been trying to understand this concept for a year. My swing is an arm swing which sucks. Thank you, Mr. Harrington.

[@mbsnetwork2650]

Paddy you and you're channel rocks! Your ability to clearly and throughly explain and demonstrate a complex process is second to none and of great value to golfers of all levels.

[@georgemohamed23]

One of the golf greats. Any amateurs or professionals can learn a lot from padraig tips.

[@christianrousseau5918]

Great to see you back!!! Thanks for all the tips. Really hope to see you in Canada one day

[@kmrk4055]

What a brilliant thing golf tips from a top pro who's won majors etc. What a gift, the generosity of spirit, tips for beginners and for others from a man that knows. Great details, I doubt you'll ever read this but thanks very much anyway. Very much appreciated and it has really helped, can't wait to take it to the range.

[@cjlyonsful]

Oh man I was doing the screw move with the wrong foot Midnight here but I want to go play now. You are the man Padraig. Thank you.

[@davidhester9716]

People talk about “using the ground.” I did not know what they meant. Maybe they didn’t either, it was never explained to me. Watching this video, at least I know what Mr. Harrington means. Maybe I can use this information to increase my driving distance. Thank you!

[@jggray]

The most game changing video of the year. After ACL reconstruction, I lost a lot of power. This video provides a way to generate power the proper way and pain free. Wow. Thank you for this.

[@diestadtmeister]

So athletic...best ground force reaction video I know.

[@tonywarde8]

Well done, Padraig… brilliant! Can’t beat step drills. Thank you Young Man… love it! 🏌️‍♂️👏🤝🤛🕺🏽🌞

[@simon-HK]

Paddy got the old school moves, OG! Beautiful swing, so free. Great craic.

[@christabor8662]

Oh ya Padraig is the man ! Thanks this is the best on KZbin ! 👍

[@Bettyswollocks8164]

What a great explanation from a major champion of the actual feelings you should experience, his passion for golf really comes through as he wants everyone to just play better and enjoy the game, I will never now how much Paddy has worked incredibly hard to get the ultimate championship by winning the Open but what a great man, I feel like I could meet him at the driving range in the next bay & he would give me the best advice regardless of how great he his, big fan , keep it going Paddy

[@Gigity1107]

10:05 the comedy stylings of Padraig Harrington everyone! 🤣

[@clintsanderson6019]

I frickin’ love how winded Paddy gets. Thank you sir for sharing your passion 👍🏼

[@johnmule9419]

This is brilliant stuff...not only a great champion but he's a great teacher as well...

[@luissantiago1832]

Thank you for just the best explanation of footwork! The best KZbin video and Finally something simple. Thank you and I wish you all the best !

[@Bob-nu3xe]

Yes the distance is up no question with this tip, a boxer has the same technique power comes from the feet, many thanks Padraig

[@anderd22]

Great teacher trainer! Love you Paddy. I'm gonna focus on squeezing my glutes and my ballocks 😊😅❤

[@paulgabler1476]

Best teacher going … so much great , in depth , detail . Probably the best ( I like Peter Cowan too )

[@kenpowell2128]

Absolutely awesome, as all the comments agree; Patrick the SuperSpeed guys should just link to this module where you explain everything about golf ground force in less than 20 mins...!

[@peterwatson3487]

Thanks Padraig. Is Scottie Sheffler an extreme version (and excellent demonstration) of stamping out the cigarette with both feet?

[@kckong3]

Swinging the left heel in away from target like the long drive folks... I tried that and it felt much easier to rotate the hips and make room for the right arm to swing through. Not sure when the left foot action is supposed to happen but i found it most helpful right after the transition...also felt good that my left arm stretched a bit more across my chest as if more "loaded" 😊

[@TrailDog1]

whew..my first drive of the spring is gonna be .. so... way .. somewhere.. I can't wait. Love it!

[@gillgareth]

This one and golf tip 24 are absolute key, great video's by the way, so well explained and bit a bit of humor ta boo. 👏 👏

[@marklarm]

Thx Paddy! Love the way you describe things. Very easy to imagine using your descriptions.

[@earlblevins1284]

Love your sense of humor and your lesson. I'll be working on the footwork.

[@Stank_Johnson]

"We edited out about six seconds of float." Man that was hilarious. Hey thanks for all these videos. They are so helpful.

[@lkae4]

The step-up feeling is a great idea. Thank you, sir.

[@Richard-iv6eg]

Brilliant video Pádraig. I remember watching you and Bob Torrance (RIP) on the driving range doing the squat drill and wondering what the hell is that about. Thank you for Paddy’s Tips.

[@uboobly]

Totally awesome. Another great video. Paddy and I have this in common, we can't help ourselves but to have to say something if we see something busted or something futile. It's almost a compulsion, definitely personality trait. My game is better off for this passion. Thanks Padraig.

[@hanshuhta8007]

Thank you Paddy. Thanks for your time !

[@henkhamers1184]

Thnx Paddy a huge fan of you never ever had such a detailed lesson on what gives me more insight a ways to practice on footwork which is hugely important even when I am now sixty this is improving my drives enormously even longer now than when I was fifty haha

[@IanGrant-rv5ci]

Thanks Paddy I'm still struggling with my driver but will perceiver

[@pbode1]

Thanks again Padraig, its good and detailed. I like the bounce back feeling drill. I will try it out, because when I am trying to apply the left leg downforce, my problem is my left leg 'collapsing' by bending that knee too much, or rather too long timing wise

[@jerrymaxwell1218]

Boy, I wish I was watching this when I began golfing! Of course, Padraig would have been in elementary school then🏌️‍♂️😁

[@tonywestwell]

Pure gold, thank you Padraig.

[@AtlantaLo]

Effffen love this drill! Love Paddy’s enthusiasm! Awesome coaching! If I had this back in my high school days…..might of done some damage! Kids these days are blessed by Free Coaching! Just choose your rabbit hole! Haha

[@Blacklabs2000]

The best tips by far! By the way, I love it when Lanny tries to explain your move on the broadcast!!

[@ciarancassidy3845]

Great video, Paddy. This is away and by far the best video I've ever seen on timing in the golf swing in relation to footwork and body movement. We can't all do it as well as you; in particular, I haven't figured out how to squeeze my bollocks, but I'll try. 😂😂

[@FatDivotGolf]

This was a great video to watch! Great compilation of concepts of footwork for me... PS - the edit on the jump at 10:05 was incredible ahhaha

[@TheBigtoe16]

Grateful for your videos! Truly appreciate your help

[@davidbell2649]

My knees & hips are aching just watching this. Would have loved this coaching when i was in my teens & off 6 h/cap. Would have improved distance which i lacked then (& still do!!).

[@ruatoomey9107]

Go raibh maith agat Padraig, a very detailed lesson on the proper footwork, hopefully will help my early extension.

[@frankh6689]

Paddy does great teaching vids. While doing the one step drills front and back foot, I noticed that my weight shifted with which ever foot moved. This seemed to create a conflict with where the weight was when the swing was near the top.. If I stepped forward, my weight was forward with the swing at the top, but if I stepped backward the weigth was on my back foot when the swing was at the top.. I have no doubt the conflict simply comes from a fine line of weight shift from backswing to downswing but wish Paddy would have explained this a bit.

[@jeanpierremenard502]

thank you for this lesson i am glad when pro like you take is time for us amateur

[@Red_Theo99]

Underrated video this one, so good 👏👏

[@dougfabrizio2794]

what an amazing explanation of ground forces. Thank you!

[@ultimasicarius]

Such a great lesson Paddy good show!

[@terryholloway9930]

Man you working hard to show us this breathing hard too we appreciate you and thanks play well on tour

[@b52bomber1]

Brilliant explanation Padraig.. Now to try and get the feel for the movements 💡👍

[@larryl3416]

I'll bet Paddy does a great robot dance 😂 great lesson by the way 👍 nice one Paddy. Playing golf in Dumfries next week will give this a go

[@genki007]

I was floating 4' off the ground! :) That was a good one. BTW, great video Sir! Wish I could come take a lesson with you. Mele Kalikimaka! Merry Christmas in Hawaiian

[@rockrugbyref]

Brilliant! Thanks for the coaching session!

[@johnsahhar7599]

I don't know why you share so much great content, but I am very glad you do. As I understand it, you seem to say that the forward movement of planting onto the lead foot begins to happen by the time the hands are waist high on the backswing. Given there is such a small amount of time between the time the club starts to move back and the time the hands are roughly waist high (and given you are not someone who sways off the ball in the backswing), do you have an opinion on whether it would be ok to simply keep more wait on the lead side early on in the swing? Seems like it might be easier to load the front leg as you discuss. Thanks again. Great video.

[@stevep927]

Simply excellent Padraig !!

[@fntsmk]

God love ya' Paddy. We love Paddy's Golf Tips! Keep 'em comin' laddie!

[@anthonypenrose6725]

Mr. Harrington would you please please do a video on what your wrists do in the back swing. You have talked about the transition but not how to get the club in plane in the back swing.

[@robertlund5905]

Another great lesson! Hope to see you at the Hoag Classic.

[@mistareee]

Help us please Padraig. You are our only hope. 95% of golfers are plagued by chunking the ball. Everything we do is a compensation to not chunk it on the course. We cant even chip without chunking. We dont know how to use the tool. We can all learn in 1 day to hit a nail on the head with a hammer and by the end of the day we can naturally add tremendous power. “Straight jacket golf” instructors wrap us up like a pretzel and think we’ll be able to swing freely and powerfully. How do we use the tool and how do we get the club sweeping at the correct height at impact? Teach us that and we can take care of the rest.

[@danielbouchard4074]

i realy understand what you mean ido the same at the baseball swing thank padraig👍

[@mikecameron5930]

Absolutely fantastic!!

[@stuartrobinson1593]

Padraig! Hero!

[@7777mantle]

Great video really makes sense Could you tell me the company and the band used in video. Thank you

[@GetGoodNGolf]

love paddy's golf tips!!!!

[@chm97chm97]

Stomping out that cigarette - Internally rotating that back leg. GREAT EXPLATION! Like a boxer internally rotating on a punch, rotating that leg is more powerful if you were kicking something or someone. Do it sitting down from a chair for the feel.

[@jodyreid9761]

Absolutely classic Im working on squeezing my bollix together 😂😂😂

[@simonrack4865]

Thank goodness for Padraig's comment there... otherwise that'd be way too much information 😳

[@crispyduck1706]

At least it’s in the plural some aren’t so lucky

[@garylucas7050]

Thanks Paddy great stuff …I’m off for a lay down after that 😂

[@oldred1959]

I can't be the only one who loses his mind over those heat maps of the feet through the swing. All I have been concentrating on is the early transfer of weight, the direction of force is new to me. Such a great simple explanation, think maybe this Patrick guy could make a living out of golf, although he's started a little late.😂

[@dennisbean6087]

Too much info for my head. Thank you for your tips. I love most of them

[@billfeeny6897]

Great stuff, thanks for taking the time is right.

[@angelocamagni7250]

Great to seeyou again Paddy!

[@darrenhadden1037]

Amazing tips❤

[@JojohnWick]

Legend Padraig

[@tribalwarlord]

I appreciate your dedication 👌

[@DefenderTIM]

Would it be useful to try working on this with an impact bag?

[@seth5285]

Thanks coach! Your the best ❤

[@markbarlow9955]

Genius level info in this vid

[@matthewcritchley1214]

There's no better way to start the 2024 golfing year. Powerful video. 🏌️‍♂️

[@flipflapfungus4958]

Hey paddy, I can do this move, but I struggle to keep my head behind the ball when shifting to the front foot. How do you avoid this?
