USING YOUR NATURAL ATHLETICISM | Paddy's Golf Tip #16 | Padraig Harrington

[@dinodocus7691]

I can’t express how much of a difference this video has made to my game, watched last night and had a twighlight round at the local this evening. My driving has transformed overnight, this is going to sound like a tall tail but i averaged 210 with driver, I hit 2 260 yard drives tonight, freed my swing and tried to get the feeling of the side arm throw, what a difference! These are some of the best instruction vids on you tube. Hope you keep them going!

[@jg1316]

I am not paying for anymore garbage coaching lessons or watching any more coaching videos. This is all that is need in golf, lessons from pro. Thanks Padraig for making the game accessible to all. Your in my top 5 on tour now

[@bobwhelan5644]

Simple, why is it so hard! Thanks Padraig

[@parkersmithphoto]

I've been "studying" golf for 20 years and found that Mike Bender and Mike Malaska (see also Flick/Toski/Kostis) are the best coaches in terms of being able to communicate with the every day golfer. That's because they focus on the hands and arms leading and the body following. Add Padraig Harrington to that list! These videos are SOLID GOLD! We love you Paddy.

I was a national class javelin thrower, could throw a cricket ball at speed to the crease from any outfield position and skim a stone for hundreds of yards but have always struggled to find a ‘natural’ golf swing that felt powerful. This brilliant video has just explained why and helped enormously shaping my thinking about how to find ‘my natural athletic swing’. This is pure gold dust, thanks Paddy, your time and effort with these videos is much appreciated.

[@Bast-kavothe]

Thank you Padraig.

[@wimgraven8892]

Thanks very much. Another great lesson of you. I am 74 and try everything to keep my game up. This helps. Thanks

[@jlunde35]

That is the smartest advice I ever heard. Wish I would have been given this advice years ago when I started playing golf. Baseball players especially need to hear this. Thank you.

[@fentontaylor9021]

Love your enthusiasm!! Most teachers on KZbin have NO CLUE about the golf swing or they do, but cant explain it well enough for us to understand

[@haricsl]

Love these tips. Pretty funny at 1.43 as Padraig says just get a golf ball, turns to go get a ball, then realises oh shit I’ve already got one in my hand 😂

[@topgolf7215]

Paddy power. I love it

[@emptysea1137]

Thanks again Paddy . Paddy and Pete 👍👍

[@fidelnunez1136]

Hats off to you Paddy, Practical, short, simple and very candid lessons from a true champion.

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

Absolutely! Thanks for tuning in!

[@mofojohnson1]

What a great coach you would make

[@fuzzygolf8497]

Best tips from a hard working pro on KZbin, love this stuff

[@carlosjuarez9527]

Paddy is the best instructor out there by far!!!!!

[@IggyInBurnaby]

I love it when you say 'don't do something stupid like lifting your arm way up'. Seriously had a good laugh. Thanks for really great vids Paddy.

[@extrememetaldrummer1]

That's because we're told to do a huge wrap around and lift the club up as far as we can. It just adds too bad swing thoughts and the steaks away from our natural athleticism

[@stevebrown4085]

Another truly brilliant video by Mr. Harrington! On the local driving ranges around Los Angeles, I often tell other golfers to watch Paddy's golf tips because they are so well explained. From a 3 time major winner to the ears and eyes of lessor golfers, ... Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

[@richardskinner5050]

These coaching videos from Paddy are golden

[@郭中村-t3z]

Tks, Padraig . Brilliant

[@rojuwi]

This is the kind of tips that can really help me. Thank you!!!!

[@turtleneck3091]

Dude, for reals, your videos are so good. Just feel like I needed to say this.

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

I appreciate that!

[@dhender499]

Thanks, Paddy! Spectacular tips!

[@mickmack8999]

Thank you for the great tip Paddy 👍

[@majl1000]

I thought that was your garden not a range, another great lesson, thankyou

[@legend9018]

Really excellent

[@terryholloway9930]

Enjoyed it Patty you’re the best

[@wademarchand4441]

Wow I never thought of skimming a stone on the water. I’ll think of this next time on the range!

[@j1166240]

Mr. Harrington, pure gold! I have watched most of your posted videos you have so far, and my understanding of what I need to do is very clear. Your delivery is put in such a way I understand. And I absolutely enjoy your humor when describing all of the faults you have seen us make. I certainly hope you continue to make these videos when you can. I definitely feel like your videos are the ones I want to go back to when I can't hold my finish of the golf swing to figure out the problem. Thank you! Jeff

[@bradleystuart8608]

Brilliant! Thanks

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

Glad you liked it!

[@stuartalthorpe1561]

Ledge 🏆

[@garyevans9509]

Cheers paddy well explained

[@ST-xg3gy]

Great topic. Makes sense. "Fire" those hips.

[@oneshotrally]

Thank you Paddy for the videos, awesome. All the best for you and the team at Whistling Straights, bring it home.

[@NicLewis]

This has released me from the burden of many many swing thoughts. Just play. Thank you and good luck in the Ryder Cup. Go Europe!!

[@conman1872]

Great stuff Padraig, you know how to simplify it. Go Europe 🇪🇺

[@beimsteiner]

Fantastic! Love the side bend to open instead of turning open, going to give that some focus. Have been doing the throw motion before full swing to get unstuck, it really works.

[@dennismfoley]

Keep the videos coming. You give your heart into all of them. Great for world class player to share his thoughts.

[@andrewking760]

So easy and makes sense 👍

[@Dan-nh8nu]

Thanks for this content Paddy.

[@PadraigHarringtonOfficial]

My pleasure!

[@etorganic]

brilliant~

[@georgegeorgiou4400]

Just great paddie

[@patlydon519]

Class Tip ive been using it, pure gold viewing.

[@scott1993]

I played baseball for years and could naturally throw hard and hit a baseball pretty well. I never really thought about the golf swing like this before. Can't wait to try it out

[@richardmcallister6885]

Cheers Padraig. No more expensive clubs for me. I'm just going to start throwing the ball down the fairway. Clubs get in the way of a good shot. Thank you for sorting my 30 year problem. 👍👍

[@dennisbean6087]

That was informative. Now i know what right side bend is, didn’t understand it before. Thank you

[@kentaromitsuma1251]

its the best golf advise!

[@extrememetaldrummer1]

Where was this video a year ago or so when I took up the sport? Thankfully, I discovered this naturally but this video reassures I'm doing it right. People complicate the swing so much, that we lose focus of our natural athleticism. Mr H phenomenal job and clarification. So thankful for your content

[@simonpavitt]

you're a fcuking legend Paddy. Love this.

[@GolfLikeTrev]

It’s almost verbatim to Pete Cowen. Love this. Thanks!

[@lennartsandberg1568]

Very good - the best

[@ramboronkim]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@ruggerosale]

Where’s that range? Definitely need some new V1’s.. 😉 Great instruction 👍

[@edro3838]

👍 well said

[@stevenmurata4392]

Now pitching for the Dodgers, Padraig Harrington.

[@inyourheadgolf5557]

Great video, would love to see a video on wedge game from 100 yards in. ⛳

[@jayvenable4279]

I have sacrificed my natural athletic ability over the years and had too many swing thoughts. There’s so much information available it’s too easy to get sidetracked. Thanks Padraig!

[@neilwalsh1427]

Brilliant video!. Can you do a video on 50 to 70 yard pitching when you get the chance

[@jpxst180s6]

What about hurling players padraig ?

[@18stags]

"Throw two yards in front, straight" works for me!

[@nigelharding9296]

Made up you've shared this, I can practice indoors with a sponge and foil ball I've made, cheers.

[@scottishcrocodile6033]

Great explanation of a natural swing. Can you explain the hidden power joint or capitate joint Nick Bradley goes on about in your wrist? He’s got an hour long video, doesn’t explain anything unless you sign up.

[@Lee_yourboylee]

Good post. My thinking is: if that joint was the key to amazing golf surely loads of the youtube pros would have videos on it on here for free for massive views? I mean, I'm tempted to try anything, and have thrown away lots of cash in the pursuit, but I don't think I'm going to succumb to this one. Sorry Nick, it just doesn't seem realistic to me.

[@08jag81]

I do the Paul Bunyan swing, say a tree is about 2 ft. in front of the ball and chop it down with one swing of the axe.

[@nigel4321]

have you seen his training aids he has at home? one is an axe!

[@jakenbake20]

This is great! I love drills that put it all together. I strike the ball very well but tend to have big misses with the driver. Do you always try to play a shot shape, or do you try to hit straight on most shots? Love this channel!

[@john69294]

Ben Hogan felt sorry for the weekend golfer turning up for frustrating golf week after week. Max Faulkner went further and thought poor players had no place on the golf course at all and should be confined to the practice ground. You feel though that Paddy genuinely wants to help and bring golfing joy back into their lives.

[@DrDave322]

any tips for a right handed person the golfs left handed? i'm terrible at throwing anything with my left hand

[@ruatoomey9107]

Try throwing a frisbee low instead . I’m in the same boat, right handed but play left.

[@ThizzleDance10]

everybody trow this video a like! 😉

[@highdsociety923]

I LOVE HOW he COVETS the PRO V1 .... like all the rest of US... when I find one plugged in the light rough in spring conditions I do a dance... the PRO V1 lore continues. lol

[@paulmarjoram2258]

All your videos are great and very helpful. However, I’m naturally left handed playing golf right handed and so some of the principles you use to explain things don’t come naturally. I’m 67 and a bit locked in but want to improve. Any tips for people like me. 👍

[@Mooresy8711]

If you can dodge a wrench, you can hit a golf ball.

[@mrgerrytube]

His lad looks like he knows what he’s talking about. Is he Rory McIlroy’s coach?

[@redhed9776]

GREAT Tip !!! and 1st...

[@ticklefishdesign]

Im left handed playing right so throwing with my wrong hand is horrendous

[@user-sb4zv7pv4i]

I was just thinking that!

[@bosco0991]

What if you are lead arm dominant. Im screwed lol.

[@AR-ke8wg]

Can we say it's a two handed forehand down the line not cross court?

[@stevennoel6724]

I was athletic on the left side, left-footed, left-armed and left-handed. Playing golf right-handed has diluted that athleticism.

[@andym28]

Id really like to hear what Torrence taught you Paddy. Seems that you go you fell out but it's a shame if his knowledge would be lost.

[@proberiproberi2204]

Very Good. But 1 Thing is diffrent. Hips turn not on the sam way. Thanks a lot for Your Golf Videos

[@fluxfotos22]

l'ts a wonder Paddy didn't get a golf shoe thrown at him for winning the USPGA Championship.

[@highdsociety923]

HE FORGOT HOCKEY!!! the most comparable sport

[@nickhowell4719]

Chrowing...
