THE FUNDAMENTAL SET-UP OF THE GOLF SWING | "Paddy's Golf Tip" #31 | Padraig Harrington

[@LiberatedStockTrader]

I love the fact Paddy does the entire video in one shot. He really knows his stuff.

[@donaldsacco7186]

You are killing it on the champions tour.

[@Chewbacca0702]

In an era of clickbait & switch ads, it is really remarkable to have a pro create a free video series to help us out. Thank you Mr. Harrington, you'll always be a favorite of mine.

[@visakanthiruchelvam5028]

Boy, I absolutely love Paddy's tips. Man is a godsend. Firstly, nothing I've put in practice from his tips has failed me. Why would it? If you can't make a multiple Major winner's advice work, the problem is you, 100%. Secondly, he is a spectacular teacher. Anyone with a golf club can make youtube tutorials. Saying what to do, and not do, is easy and cheap. It costs nothing. Freedom of speech means you don't even have to be right. You can make up, regurgitate, parrot off a spiel, or straight up plagiarise someone else. Being able to explain and clearly demonstrate the finer points, however, is not fakeable. You know the finer points, because you were trained your whole life. You played your whole life. You achieved your whole life. That's life experience. Those words can only be conveyed this way by someone who knows the subject matter in and out. And thirdly, knowing it is great. There are a bunch of pros who know it. But being able make that info accessible to rank amateurs who play a whole world of different golf, and are very likely to be too far removed from the level of golf being pitched, is a dying art. It's true teacher stuff. Thanks Mr Harrington for your unbelievable generosity in providing these amazing lessons. I hope everyone realises how privileged we are to be coached by a true great of the game.

Finally a pro that shares some wise advice. Thank you brother you’re a star. Congrats on the Dicks Sporting Win. We’ll deserved.

[@robschmidtpremierrealestate]

I just keep watching them! What a gem to have discovered, I've learner so much it's crazy. Thank You Padraig!

[@chrismadden6047]

I would love lessons from Paddy he’s a player I have admired for years. Great golf still being played on the seniors tour.

[@davidosborne5341]

Absolutely Amazing teacher!! Hearing from a proven pro/champion gives me the confidence to stick with what he's teaching but NOBODY does a better job in my opinion of breaking down EVERY little detail WITH all the diff. feels that should be going on during the swing!! Which is something that has had a MASSIVE effect for me as I thought i was doing a pretty good job of imulating what i was seeing from other teachers swing lessons but Paddy informing us of what should be felt at all point of the swing is AWESOME!!

[@and5336]

Most golden golf channel. Thank you, Paddy!

[@pbateman62]

Just first class Paddy!

[@zman3635]

Love from the US Paddy. Best tips I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

[@feihe1316]

You are absolutly brilliant!

[@Shankenstien23]

Thankyou for taking time out of your schedule to give us insight of a champions mind. Gold nuggets

[@CarlKuzmich]

Thank you as always. Lost my game lately and then I saw the one-fist away explanation and that put my game back together. Thanks again for the wonderful help your provide on your channel.

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Yeah forces you to be more relaxed!

[@fntsmk]

God love ya' Paddy! Keep 'em comin' lad!

[@dlicious2020]

Paddy simply gives great instructions.

[@kieranvr8663]

Best golf lessons on KZbin. Full stop.

[@docsbmw525i]

Quality as usual Paddy 👍 thanks for taking the time to help 👍👍👍👍

[@lawrencegiles1078]

My head is in the way. Thankyou Padraig!

[@royclose946]

Excellent padraig what a champion 🏆

[@cactusjackaz8920]

Thank you PH!!!

[@DVCasey0311]

absolutely love this. Putting the facts about the swing and setup simple and plain to understand. Thanks!

[@markgriffiths5616]

Excellent tip again Paddy, thank you 🙏

[@samkim43]

Thank you! This is a lesson from an actual tour pro and it works! Don't waste your time with others...

[@mitchy7051]

Thank you so much Padraig - that lob wedge tip is absolute GOLD!

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Or it also works with SW if you put it way back in stance and clip ball. Like Paul Azinger did. Keep weight more back at setup. No spin very high shots! Try it.

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Need better than avg hand/eye coordination

[@jmm1817]

Excellent lesson Thank you Padraig

[@jameskiely7656]

My favorite golfer. Overcame a lot in golf and he seems like a guy you want a few beers with.

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Yeah and hitting wedges over his house for fun.

[@BonnECommercial]

So helpful to hear your thoughts on set up. You make it easy to get the point; not creating additional coverage.

[@dontpa_nic]

Great as always

[@micheledamschke2441]

Brilliant 👏

[@BlueArmeh88]

Top man our Paddy is, great enthusiasm and knowledge

[@gregorahellus7230]

Padraig, thank You so much, You are the best!!! Cheers from Germany

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

My pleasure!

[@Keyevns89]

Love it Paddy. Absolutely smashing it you are recently 👏

[@MattiasA72]

I'm 6 foot 4. I'm guilty of bending my knees to much and dropping my head. I filmed myself the other week and I looked like the hunchback of Notre Dame. This is a very timely video. I will subscribe for sure, and look for a video to help me keep my right shoulder shooting out, making me come over the top.

[@tomrobben3877]

Thanks Champ. Hope you can make it to the Portugal Masters this year

[@daveduncan9034]

"I told you I watch these vids...you asked me if they are helping...mid round...went home and told my wife..."he cares, I hope he wins..." congrats on the Ascension!

[@DomStew]

Hello from Jacksonville, was wondering why a young guy was using a golf cart but my father explained it to me. I thought the red head was the Irish guy but you were the Irish guy. Thanks for the great content. Enjoyed your great playing.

[@wadeguitars]

Good stuff!

[@TrEuDaT]

Thank you sir for these videos!

[@lmurtagh5026]

Thanks Padraig for the great tips. Keep it simple is the message. Any chance of a session on the fairway woods....I'm struggling with 3 wood at the moment.

[@ciaranw1888]

Thank you paddy.

[@taylotim73]

Thanks Paddy - keeping it real 👍🏻

[@jamesharris184]

And non-pro KZbinrs have a million hits. This is madness. Thank you

[@JoeOrlando-x8f]

At address, where are your hands relative to the ball? Does the shaft point at your left hip for each club, or are you hands even with the ball? Do you see the same number of knuckles on your left hand with every club?

[@srh1839]

Legend

[@the_cardchasersportscards771]

Do you ever train with the swing shirt? I saw where you endorsed it. If you do is there a specific practice routine you do while wearing it?

[@oscaroneill183]

i love you padraig.😅😅😅

[@CraigalFun]

Sooo true with ball position

[@TeddyCavachon]

I find beginners grasp how a golf swing should work and feel quicker by first posing them with proper grip exactly how a pro looks as the ball releases off the face of the club. That gives their conscious brain a clue what the goal of the exercise and gives them criteria for success. The difference when they then start at static address and then swing the club up and back down is amazing compared to how they had been swinging based on how they thought a swing should work. The actions beginners fail to understand and execute are the lateral shifting of the hips and the side bending which needs to occur in the downswing. Posing them in the post impact ball release position forces them to do both without really realizing it until they go back up to a static address stance and then back to impact a few times. Also having them toss balls sidearm at the ground just in front of them is another good way to get their thinking and reflexive brains on the same page.

[@peterkelly9655]

It’s a great tip paddy. Especially on the lob wedge and it’s ball position. I have a tendency to put back in my stance but moving forward is what I need to do. Do you have tips on 50-100 yard shots and their technique?

[@blaketurner4506]

He has a video on that!

[@Dreyno]

I think a lot of people do that. Put it back in the stance and take a massive divot. When it works it looks spectacular but how often is that? Just skim it off the grass and it’s far more consistent.

[@fairwayfreunde]

Did you ever spoke to Keegan Bradley about the flexing knee thing?

[@samlee7279]

Oh my….I always put ball backwards…close to my right foot…tendency to hit bad wedge shot…always thought due to bad swing but I guess it might be ball position…Great tip Paddy…

[@TEKXS00D6]

Push it forward. Thanks.

[@richardjacobs3413]

Hi Padraig! I doubt you will see this and I know you did a grip video but I was wondering what are your thoughts on a long left thumb vs a short thumb? Do you think one offers a benefit over the other?

[@jeremiahmclane2374]

You should do a video on how you are still creating so much speed at 50 and killing the champions tour, I lost 30 yards of carry between 25 and 50!

[@Dreyno]

You have to compensate for youthful vigour with technique. Your technique was probably a bit off but you could smash it down the fairway as a younger man. Now that’s not an option, you have to refine the swing to get extra yards back. Maybe. But usually a safe guess.

[@CarrterGolf1]

He already explained it from his speed video. Work on speed once a week. If you work on it every day it will go down hill.

[@fairplayer7435]

Dude, I was taught to literally adopt a squat posture. Since I practiced this tip, the pain I was constantly experiencing on my hip is subsided.

[@Dreyno]

I always stood like he shows in this video. Saw some people with their knees bent and found various people recommending it so tried it assuming I was doing it wrong. I found it uncomfortable, harder to be consistent and just “wrong”. I’ve found a fairly safe rule of thumb. If it doesn’t look like Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Seve Ballesteros, Tom Watson or Ben Hogan, it’s probably wrong.

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Tiger in his hay day!

[@GabrielTAsher]

Once you flare the feet I think it eliminates any need to over flex knees or stick butt out..

[@we5xz-1902]

@5:42 Basically, he's saying don't be Bryson or Rory hahahaha

[@downdog0136]

Waiting years to here a tour player talk in detail about the golf swing Padraig can you talk about the right arm coming down to the right side having that right side connection, You never talked about it in the HOW TO CLEAR YOUR HIPS/PELVIS

[@simonthorpe6971]

This is such an amazing channel, thanks for taking the time to set it up! Such valuable insights for the handicap golfer. Re the set up, do you advocate 50 50 weight distribution or 55 45? I have been tinkering with stack and tilt idea and keeping weight on front foot as I have been blocking left recently, seems to give me a better path? Just wondered what your thoughts were re S + T as an option?

[@ruatoomey9107]

Quality information again Padraig. I think tee boxes and doglegs affect us amateurs with the set up. I for 1 always play the dogleg left or right with a fade on one and try draw on the other which leads to inconsistency. Thanks for your help

[@jamesharris184]

Sweet Jesus I've been so wrong for so long thank you

[@SoulAvatar11]

Need a downswing lesson!

[@havennewbowtow8835]

Cheers Sir, thats really helped my game.

[@vikas376]

Downswing in to out lesson please

[@wapitilizzard]

I like it better when he breaks windows

[@davidR9410]

Don’t do the things you’ve been taught to do forever…got it.

[@danallan2]

Moe Norman would disagree with you on stance.

[@clintsanderson6019]

Really can’t argue with the guy, but if I play my lob wedge forward like that I’m hitting an inconsistent moon ball or fatting it

[@mickdolan5918]

I use to have same issue. Club head is passing hands at impact. Must keep weight forward, turn fully through the shot and right shoulder must stay “up”. When I do this, I throw laser darts!

[@lmurtagh5026]

? How far do you hit your lob wedge on average?

[@jeffpetra]

Too much talking. Too much to learn. In one session.
