Speaking as a stuck golfer, I'll be following this. Thanks, it's a privilege to be able to have access to advice from a great player.

[@Wonkygolfer-7zf]

Stuck, how so? I know how frustrating it is when you can’t enjoy your time out on the golf course so what’s not working in your game atm?

[@MarkLiversedge]

Am 9 index and watched this video before heading out. Checked my grip at club with pro who had one of those training aids. Right hand had become too strong and resulted in heel strikes. Fixed grip and strike and path changed. Just ordered my own weighted grip training aid to use as a warm up. Amazing how things slide if you don’t stay on top of them !

[@GrenhamHouse]

Brilliant tip/reminder. I was slapping my irons a bit. Watched this, tweaked my grip and did it with the club off the ground, and now hitting much more cleanly.

[@Nick-senese1977]

Absolute legend and thank you for your lessons and passing on the knowledge to us

[@Monkeycbr1]

Ive seen so many grip videos recently and not one of them has articulated it in such an easy to understand way with such an obvious and practicall drill in literly 1 min and 30 seconds. This is excellent and the first vid ive seen on your channel and subbed straight away. Thanks (13 handicapper)

[@brettcollins2210]

Paddy speaks, I listen, seriously!!! I can’t believe how such a legend is giving so much simple advice. This is the only channel I watch

[@moritzbunger9447]

Best instruction video on the grip on the internet. Period. Great stuff!

[@andy1or2]

Love this guy...genuine legend of the game ...

[@MikeStafford-v1f]

Started following his videos about 6 months ago. Few tips I incorporate into every warm up and has really helped improve, down from 18 to 14 in the last few months alone. Single digit goal

[@clstrat837]

Love the channel…so easy to understand and you explain the concepts so clearly

[@dakinkajou]

Paddy, you’re the best! Thanks for all the hard work and tips!

[@PaulTimbs]

My left hand grip was pretty much spot on, but I had ignored the importance of the right hand. Now I have it much more in the fingers of the right hand - ball striking has improved and consistency has improved. Kudos to PH, so much appreciated

[@FairwaysAndGreens]

Couldn't agree more. I feel like that is the critical piece I have been missing for years.

[@zve482]

Thanks Padi, it’s always a few things, usually something simple.

[@BluntmanOO7]

Keep them coming Padraig, top class as always!

[@brynbron]

He’s drip feeding us! Paddy I need more!!

[@LBJC]

Probably by design. It’s easy to jump from tip to tip on YT. At least this way you have something to work on for a couple of weeks

[@daveparsons7756]

God Bless Paddy…What a big, kind, heart😊😊😊

[@johnr3785]

Thanks for all of the tips Paddy! I spent a while on the first two videos in this series just working on the motion and finding the ground. Between those and this grip video something appears to have clicked (for now at least), and not a single one of my tee shots had my usual slice when I went out for 9 yesterday! Feels like I’m finally able to use my height and long limbs and even hit my longest drive so far (~305 carry) dead straight!

[@eddien9634]

Paddi you the man!! Thanks for all that you do for the golf community good sir

[@kentbrown3736]

Keen for the next instalment. I've got the grip.

[@JTCulverhouse]

Thanks! Will work on those drills.

[@PatMcguire-y6l]

Thank you Paddy

Actually watching golf and following this video, the wife thinks I’ve gone mental swinging my 7 iron about 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 great video 👍

[@jules5833]

Paddy you are the man!

[@Willberight2moro]

I was stuck at mid hc, playing twice a week. Got a mat and net at home and hit everyday. I start with wedge then every 2nd club to 5w, 5 each and back down again. Im hitting the sweet spot more. Im now 10 hc. Next focus is wedge around greens for more up and downs... Shot shaping is my biggest improvement..

[@JL-yw3rf]

Saw you playing in Calgary today, good luck on Sunday, hope you play well and win the Rogers classic.

[@jeffpfeiffer69]

Great reminder! I'm going to try this when I go to the range today

[@danielcharles4085]

Changing my grap saved me 10 strokes at least. Paddy is the best.

[@mentalacace6765]

Amazing tip!

[@patrickyang8352]

We love you Paddy!

[@mrbigglesworth375]

This grip advice is so timely for me. When I play well I play to a 2-3 index. Yet every year I notice a stretch when I drift up towards a 5 and each time I notice its my grip that gets weird. To the point where my hands come apart during the top of the backswing. Once I notice that and for whatever reason it takes sometime for me to catch it, I start to focus on the loading the club in the fingers and keeping the hands together. Then Shazam I'm back. Thanks for the validation.

[@jasongourley6105]

Keep them coming 👌 great stuff

[@yourtravelswithbruce]

Fantastic video. Soo true!!!

[@davidtomsett]

Superb Padraig

[@shmirginhymer1867]

So Ive found that I have a different grip with my woods, as I do with my irons and wedges. My driver/woods grip is neutral, where as my iron/wedges are very strong. So I notice days when Im hitting one better that the other, it turns out to be my grip 99% of the time. Duck hooking driver with a strong grip, or pushing/slicing irons with a weak grip. On the days that my focus is on point, I break 80 😂

[@pmportella]

looking forward to playing in single figures, thank you! stuck at 20-22 handicap! sometimes i play like a single figures but sometimes......😅

[@ClaroCapilla]

Same, I'm within that range. Broke 90 yesterday. But according to my estimates, next break 90 will be around Feb of next year hahaha!

[@nige99]

3 putting and youle still be a 20 handicaper !

Awesome stuff 👍🏼

Cheers paddy!

[@scottgibson962]

I am loving this video series!!! I’m definitely along for the journey. On the tip about getting clubs re-gripped to get a different feel… an alternative is trying a new make of golf glove while you fix your grip. Much more subtle but does help in the same sort of way.

[@steveputland4324]

Great video, Freddie Couples grip must be as good as it gets as he never feels the need to wear a glove ! 👍

[@auriferous4462]

If you don't have sweaty hands, there's no need for a glove. 😊

[@drvngrange]

Ty for sharing your wealth of knowledge. sexy irons btw.

[@Dannyboy0202]

Paddy I've seen umpteen videos on how to play the different lies, ball above feet, ball below feet. Uphill and downhill shots but I've never seen anyone make a video tutorial that combines these type of shots, for instance ball below or above feet while playing uphill or downhill at the same time

[@sinjinsinjin1]

Pleasure to walk with you at the Rogers Charity Classic. Officer Tim. Will continue to watch your Chanel. You are a class act. Sticking around to sign all those items for the kids. Good luck in future tournaments. Cheers.

[@SuperNisch]

What’s your take on grip size? I recently had a lesson and have changed my strong grip to a more neutral and I’ve noticed that my midsize grips feels to large now. And thanks for another great tip! 👍

[@ryanmichael2775]

He giving so much gold so fast he is out of breathe 😂 Cheers Paddy

[@85ABC]

What about shaft lean. When you grip it do you then shaft lean? No shaft lean? Thanks

Hi from Ohio. I just got back from 10 days in Ireland. They don't love Bono. They don't mention Connor. But man do they love Padraig over there. Says a lot about him

[@iansullivan3547]

Could you make a video on how to launch the ball higher? Struggling with low shots with my irons

[@Sethro92]

If pros were making KZbin instructional videos 15 years ago. Id be on tour right now 😂

[@curtisvincent4104]

My grip is just like you’re teaching in this video but I still suck at golf 😂

[@Paavelify]

Padraig what do you think of Nicklaus saying left hand should be more in the palm while right hand has to be more in the fingers?

[@robertwilliams3653]

Perhaps this isn't the right time, but what about the left thumb, long or short? Thanks for the videos.

[@Longarmshortarm]

Club in fingers ✅ Heel pad of palm on top of grip ✅ ➡️ air gap between palm and grip. Is my grip TOO much in the fingers?

[@MichaelEnright-gk6yc]

I can't grip the club in my fingers because of Dupytrons but I am consistant straight and long for my age i use the StacknTilt have no problem's.

[@NotSoDimmmmm]

love that - non negotiable - how about we form a test group.. I am stuck at 18 or so - playing 5 years... 59 yesterday... spine operation 2 years ago but still mobile - no substantial physical impediments - and sufficiently obsessive compulsive to follow the programme ....

[@davidpurnell8009]

I thought we were going to do some chipping??? When do we get to hit a ball Paddy! 😂

[@Vnam72]

Thanks. Assume there is no preference re. Interlock, baseball, overlap?

[@ryanlucey6642]

Honest question, I've come to golf quite late and only started playing the last couple years, due to playing previous sports such as hurling I find it far more comfortable playing cack handed or left below right. I've tried holding the club the traditional way but it feels like writing left handed. I struggle to generate any power let alone accuracy. Does it really matter which way your hands are orientated ie cack handed/traditional grip when applying these tips and trying to improve at the game?

[@Frenchtoon]

Hi PADDY. 2hat about us hurley holders I.e the cackhanded golfer. All good for fingers too?

[@fullmetalsal]

Did today’s teaching apply to irons and wedges as well?

[@hypent500]

is it okay to use a baseball grip with my lead side thumb covered by my trail hand instead of using interlocking grip

[@PatrickMclaughlinRock]

I've gone from 0.7 to 6 handicap Padraig, think it's mostly mental and playing through injury, any tips to get my focus back?

[@ryanjohnson985]

Focus on the process rather than your score.

[@joevelte4252]

That makes for a very different swing. I tried it. The short irons are easy the long irons are really difficult. I think the handle needs to be more forward at impact when you hold it like that. Ill wait for the next lesson.

[@garrymajor7528]

Looking forward to transition

[@ianmackinlay8925]

My dog’s gonna lose her mind if I waggle a club in front of the telly 😂😅

[@Nick-e3y2e]

How about the spot on the range he ripped in the previous video still there

[@jakov3025]

Whats your take in 10finger grip

[@rickwilliams6922]

Is it a long flat thumb on the lead hand?

[@12496k]

⛳️

[@niallcunningham6553]

I can't understand what the grip is meant to be like from the video. Could do with a closer look at the hands and a couple of stills. No Idea how to put the hands on the club from the video

[@D_Flaz]

No chance of a reply as he's a busy man and recorded many in one session but any chance of an anti iron shank lesson/drill

[@lasvegasbreakingnews1752]

First grip video where the entire video is waving the club around like a total nutt job. So much for instructing on the proper grip. Just wave the club around and you'll do just find.

[@vstags]

You won’t be able to wave the club like he’s doing unless you’re gripping it correctly

[@lasvegasbreakingnews1752]

@@vstags Actually, the proper grip locks your arms, hands, wrists, and there is little ability to wave the club around. Here's the link to Seve's video where he simply instructs on the proper grip. You will note he doesn't spend a single word on "waving" the club around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ6Yppukn9CmjKs

He never hung with Mo Norman 😂

[@alexdear91]

Really could have done with some closeups here this wasn’t detailed enough to see where his hands actually are placed

[@vstags]

Get the Skilz grip trainer attachment that he mentions and it will position your hands correctly without seeing a closeup of his hands. Super inexpensive but great for a reference point.

[@NoelIrl24]

That was far too quick. I havent a clue what he is actually recommending.

[@healthygolfer]

Unfortunately, doesn’t make it for left handed players

[@andyss5582]

So when he says right, substitute left. When he says left, substitute right. The fundamentals are the same.

[@kenrehill8775]

Use a mirror

[@ryanjohnson985]

He's right-handed.

[@jammuu]

Fantastic tip!
