Padraig literally getting himself out of breath cause he wants to keep demonstrating the correct way until it sinks in. This channel is absolute gold.

[@brandonthomson4980]

When a guy who was The Open Champion golfer (twice) tells you tips online for free, you shut up and listen. Unreal good series, thank you for doing this!

[@pdubs7069]

Agreed!!

[@vicpnut1]

Especially when he usually puts so much understandable detail into the tips

[@davidduggan3438]

Honestly he is like the Yoda of golf

[@jeremiahjohnson3063]

Right you are.

[@epi3e3s]

@john james o o

[@paulrobinson5395]

Me…I’ll try padraig …… him…… do or do not, there is no try

[@hammockmonk]

No: like the Yoda of golf, he is. 😉

[@TheDahsTube]

Love the Dagobah accent

[@landdevil]

It can't get any better than an Open Championship winner sharing his thoughts on the game with such clarity.

[@Graham-bg3ij]

I’m a pro golfer for 40 plus years and there are so many great points from Mr Harrington- especially the chipping - putting tutorials- Hoping he will devote some tips to the junior golfers out there - Excellent

[@terryhollis4132]

This is the best instruction I've ever seen. Padraig is a great coach.

[@missyrupert]

This is the best series of golf lessons I have ever seen - and I have seen a few - no ego, selfless and a joy to watch - Thank you Paddy

[@09Youba]

Thank you Padraig for giving back to all your fans and golfers. Great playing at the PGA Championship. Best wishes for all your next tournaments.

[@pcrowleySTL]

Feels like Paddy is unlocking the mysteries of the golf swing in real time in this video. And oh will I look a right fool tomorrow on the range trying to exaggerate the proper jump.

[@nicolasluciano9685]

Seeing Padraig Harrington explaining ground forces by jumping and flipping is the best swing image I have seen in 2022.

[@ronniefromOR]

Great stuff paddy thanks

[@alan418ut]

Great and in-depth video. Thanks

[@adambailey6632]

Best coach on youtube and the only one i trust!

[@swiss889]

Me too 👍

[@reginaldh2079]

What a performance at the last major sir, showing the young guns how it's done.

[@jp-xe9hi]

Im addicted to these lessons , absolutely gold

[@seanfarrell6889]

Cheers Padraig

[@NickPage]

Man I hope I have as much energy as you do in another ten years.... great video, its so awesome to have someone of your caliber making videos for us. Thank you Padraig!

[@IdahoSnake-A-Drain]

Padraig Harrington golf lessons are priceless. He teaches things I’ve never seen before. And I’ve been playing for 40 years. Thank you, Padraig. Bravo 👏🏼

[@worldgonecrazy]

That's the best explanation on the hips I've seen 👌 Up n under love it 👍

[@andrewong7717]

Thanks very much. Really enjoyed your videos and learnt so much.

[@patthecatcat4553]

Best golf content on youtube hands down. To get these kind of tips from an actual Major winner. Priceless.

[@paulmcfadden6517]

That's the best explanation of ground force I've seen. The "twisting " jump is what I've been missing. Thanks Padraig. You're a gentleman

[@christine9599]

Such a sincere and true gentleman, he is teaching with his heart.

[@williammathias1441]

Isn't it refreshing listening to golf instruction from someone I KNOW isn't talking shit :)

[@toms.3250]

Love it. Thank you so much, Paddy.

[@mofojohnson1]

What a player and what a Coach

[@michaelcarroll7479]

Really great instruction thanks Padraig

[@decentblue1]

That's brilliant, thank you Paddy!

[@landdevil]

Fantastic finish at the PGA championship last weekend. Keep it coming.

[@SuperLaz007]

Finally lessons that I can relate and repeat....many pro's are too technical...btw I took lessons from a golf digest top 50 teaching pro and he can't break an egg !!!!! if you're ever on the east coast of Florida or Long Island NY would luv to have u as my guest....Thank you

[@blackratpenat]

U sir, are a rockstar! Best golf videos ever watched!

[@davidlumley2522]

[@TheM1925]

[@mrjl78]

Best driving video I've ever seen, and I've watched a lot :-D Keep up the great vid's Padraig.

[@completeamateurgolfer]

Thanks again for taking time out to share your wisdom!

[@PatrickMclaughlinRock]

Great video again Padraig, as an Irishman I've followed you since your amateur days, actually played in the North a few years before you, you've been the best ambassador for Irish golf since 'himself' wishing you all the best in future tournaments and the icing on top would be the Ryder cup win in the states, adh mor Padraig

[@MJB9559]

Great video and well done in the PGA ⛳️👍

[@patrickmcturk602]

Rewatched this and it makes complete sense. Thanks Padraig

[@ST-xg3gy]

Excellent and all in one take!! Very helpful!! Thank you!

[@azraai9044]

Paddy is the best. Gives everything when playing and teaching. No wonder he is 3x major winner. Tq pro.

[@konefesa]

An interesting point. I love the way Padraig explains this lesson really got me thinking.

[@Nevrsummerman]

These are great. We are so lucky that he is willing to do this without cost. What a great guy! I never really followed him on the tour, but he’s already helped my game.

[@thompsdo]

That opening clip sequence is so motivating

[@tobyrichardson1837]

I've never seen an instruction anything like this for driver, with such focus on the hip energy. You're like the Elvis of the golfswing Padraig.

[@sodthong]

Another gem from our captain...

[@skeanetubes]

Even Elvis must be impressed by these moves. Great stuff as usual. Thanks Paddy.

[@Void-ib9rt]

This was so good because I for years let the club fallow the body and now I’m trying to do what you show and I so much better with the driver. So it’s fun from the fairways and not being afraid in every tee shot.

[@johnconaty7405]

Brilliant performance at the pga 👍

[@WhitehouseProds]

My new favorite golf instructor! So many insights he throws in there.

[@geewizzpip]

Jesus Paddy, that left knee movement is magic, on irons as well as the driver.

[@Paul-gi9fm]

Big time!

[@Bullrunbonkers]

Thank you I have been having a nightmare with driving. Will be using this at the range tomorrow 👍👍👍

[@John-oc2pt]

Paddy, this shit is golden!!! Nice run last week too. 🤜🤛

[@matthewmurphy750]

Brilliant golf and Brilliant teacher

[@Chris_Traynor]

So cool! Thanks fro the great info.

[@brianmahon6668]

Toptracer Padraig. Just some feed back from an old neighbor. #rathfarnham

[@vrganesh7547]

Fantastic instruction. Thank you Paddy 🙏🙏

[@legend9018]

I love how Paddy teaches. So simple and straightforward

[@christ2906]

Paddy is the best coach cause he’s a great pro player! These vids tell the real story. Thanks Paddy

[@johnmooney5223]

Awesome stuff! Congrats on PGA!

[@naironmkhan3274]

I think the generosity of you sharing your knowledge as a professional is so good for us amateurs and for the game of golf. You are setting a great example for your fellow professionals. Thank you sir.

[@Isar12kommen]

What a man! Best instructor! Saw you in Dubai today. Well played!

[@gregorahellus7230]

Thank You so much for posting these instructions!!! Greetings from Germany

[@johnbaum8187]

Absolutely brilliant

[@cyrilpelly3059]

Playing golf 25 years & I finally understand how to use the driver, amazing difference Padraig thank you. Cyril.

[@jamiemanning]

You are the best, sir. I cannot believe I’m getting lessons for free from someone with your level of talent and experience. It’s truly an honor. Thank you.

[@jnvc7270]

I’ve been told for years that I should be doing this but this is the first time I’ve understood what I’m supposed to do. Brilliant explanation and demonstration. Thank you.

[@robinhopkins1855]

if you come back a month later - you pick things you missed first time - with respect to all tips. awesome. nice one.thanks

[@jimz6076]

Hi Paddy, I was reading Golf magazine and came across the Clubhouse interview with you talking about Paddy's Golf Tips. You Sir are a true golf ambassador. Your tips to get a golf ball as kid turned me into a Padraig Harrington fan. I have seen kick footballs at the Phoenix Open. Would you please consider allowing me to buy one of your used golf shirts that you wore on a tour event. I am going to be telling everyone I know about you. Thank you for be so real and human for us who just respect the game and the Men and Women Pros that play it. God Bless you Paddy.

[@johnmaher7078]

Thank you Padraig, this is the best explanation of the power sequence I’ve ever seen . Was guilty of the squat/jump over-exaggeration, possibly because of oversimplification by some of the pro tour commentators. You’ve somehow made it simpler and yet all the detail is there. Can’t wait to take this to the range

[@jamestrachsel7627]

Dude’s a beast

[@paulspiller2254]

@Padraig Harrington - Thank you my friend. Last weekend I hit an all time low in confidence with my driver. I've been sticking to bad advice about taking a wide stance, my backswing length was too long, my grip was too strong, I didn't cup my wrists at all (in fact I did the opposite) and the results were many pulled / hooked tee shots. On the holes where I didn't use driver I was even par including a couple of birdies. On the 10 holes I used driver I lost balls, leaked balls into the deep rough and was having to hit long irons or my hybrid to get near the green. Shot a 92 and I felt it should've been sub 80 for how well I hit my irons and around the green. Yesterday and today I've been to the range with my iPad and this video. I'm smoking it out there, straight as a die and the distance I'd lost since I took on those bad lessons has all come back. I'm using that front foot as a trigger, I've shortened my swing so the stretch is part of my downswing and my grip is exactly the same as my irons. 280 yards at the range with the ball teed up mid way. That's 60 yards longer than I've been getting if I hit the fairway. I'm so much in control I'm almost crying with joy and the the best thing is it feels so natural and repeatable. Always loved you as a player and now I'm going to put your poster up in my man cave!!!!!

[@srenhjgaardmikkelsen6508]

KZbin gold right there, thank you Paddy 👍

[@aaronberner3591]

Such great instruction! Love it when pros aren't afraid to share their secrets and break thungs down so amateurs can understand. What a great series of videos.

[@willpollard4983]

thanks Paddy looks easy but hard to do.

[@simonleach3812]

I love your spirit Paddy!

[@neknosnaws5990]

Thanks Padraig! Lots of good ideas!

[@krugchamp8750]

Real gold here. Other have said best instruction they've ever seen and I agree!! It works in real life! Thanks Padraig!

[@robinp4445]

Bravo. All driver lessons on KZbin are the same. Not with Padrig. The explanation of ground force was brilliant. Can’t wait to use it. Also the insights on locations on tee box to tee up was something I never heard of. Thanks so much.

[@alanpro1512]

I swear I've watched this 5 times and it gets better each time

[@frazer350]

The Guru.. lovin the tips Paddy.. Great stuff..🤙😎

[@swiss889]

Congratulations on a brilliant PGA, love your coaching 👌

[@Beejaroni]

I just love how you explain every aspect rather than break up the lessons into parts Padraig. 💯

[@pbandj7764]

Unbelievable tips. Best on KZbin by far.

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

Appreciate that

[@dreamjackson5483]

Great as always

[@aansari98]

You've got to love Mr. Harrington. I love the fact that he covers complicated moves and concepts with clear words and exaggerated visuals - SO HELPFUL. We've heard all these - Ground Force, xFactor, Hip Rotation, shallowing, squat, ball position, tee position, path, wrist position, club release etc... but by his explanation and visual it becomes so much clearer. I've watched a ton of different youtube stuff including super technical+technology, super feel + no tech, and feel like he might be the best out there. Keep it going Padraig. Thanks for doing this.

[@propilot7428]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Padraig!

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

No one explains this better than Padraig.

[@16pennynails]

I remember the high energy player Padraig Harrington years ago, very uptempo or up beat, rock solid golfer. There's a wealth of "on the job" knowledge here that most instructors just don't have..,first hand. Only other instruction channel that is gold would be Athletic Motion Golf (AMG), very similar.

[@wilsonhung8654]

Wow, here we go again！ Really enjoy watching him play his great game last week at the PGA.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

By far - best instructor on YT

[@MsRocketRoy]

Great stuff!! Thank you very much !

[@joevelte4252]

Paddy works hard to teach us. Thanks Paddy.

[@roysantonil5978]

Thanks for signing my hat in Charlotte - 2017 PGA ... "cut 5-iron into the wind" ... outstanding tips.

[@geoffontour2716]

Succint as ever Padraig, and couldn't have come at a better time as I examine my driving. 🙄 Thanks as always for your insights. 👍⛳

[@joetroupe893]

Two great lessons to concentrate on Padraiq. Draws and fades, and the driver. I appreciate your taking the time to show us.

[@karemariuslunde2009]

A real eye opener -Thank U so very, very much for this video.

[@scottgreen1945]

I love these videos…what a legend. A multiple major winner making KZbin videos, he blows the rest out of the water. I never seen the driver swing explained like this before.
