The winner of the gold metal and the Champion golfer of the year...

Padraig, curtailing the follow-through is actually done by the majority of professional tennis players as well on their two hand backhands. From personal experience (reached the Division 1 level) this allows tennis players to increase accuracy, and as you have so eloquently stated, actually also increases clubhead speed. Not a surprise, I naturally carried this over to my golf game and experienced the same result/feeling, but is much more impactful. After all, the club is obviously much longer and weighted at the head than a racket.

Great video. Tommy Fleetwood is a good example of someone who does this in play !

This is terrific! I wondered why most pros are restricting the arm follow-through and you explained it so well! And i spent so many years working on getting that shaft angled across my back........hahaha. jokes on me yet again. Thanks Paddy

One problem I have had in the past with this: hitting a ton of 3/4 shots and then it becoming a permanent swing which is very hard to get out of. It took me forever to get a full follow through and hit a high ball again when I needed to.

I've caddied for Graeme McDowell at my club a few times in outings and he would refer to Paddy's swing concepts/technique with the guests. Paddy's depth of knowledge is extraordinary.

Absolute legend. And humble enough to give out free lessons on KZfaq that i dont see any other pros doing. This channel and one other channel has absolutely turned my golf game back into fun+enjoyment instead of frustration. Its 100% appreciated. Thank you paddy

Didnt PH go from an assistant pro playing off a 5 to pro in a few years?? Best teachers are the ones who sucked at some point and figured it out. Anyone who does all this naturally prob doesnt really know what theyre doing.

I came across trying to stop the club head by accident. Once I realized this, I played some good golf.

What paddy is trying to say: Lag in the golf swing. Create it and it’s the Holy Grail in the swing.

Every Padraig Harrington video released is so valuable.

The Champion Golfer of The Year, is an even greater Champion as an Instructor. This really breaks down why the Pros hit the ball so much further than Amateurs. It's effortless, because everything they do is flawless. Including the intentional deceleration of the club!! Paddy should put out a tip every two days!! Just a simple to follow series of instant game changers. As good as any instructor in the world.

the sign of a good instructor NOT only give the instruction BUT more importantly explain what not to do and why so the outcome is CLEAR . first time here GOOD JOB Paddy !!!!!!

Great video! Clear to the point, no unnecessary talk. Just pure informative instructions. I've been watching you nightly. Thank you. It's really helping.

Wow Paddy is kicking butt on the tour and still has time to help us golfing chumps!

Padraig’s tips since covid hitting have been fantastic.

Hi from Old Blighty Padraig. Thanks so much for taking time out of your schedule to help us amateurs. Another great video. Good luck on the Tour for 2023.

"Throw the club through impact" brilliant. I always steer and hold off thinking it is a safer swing, lot of low and pulled shots as a result. Thanks Pod

Fantastic advice and you can’t argue with the longest and strongest guy on the senior tour. Thx Padraig!

I love your energy and honesty and enthusiasm for teaching Paddy. Few playing pros can teach, but you've broken down the fundamentals so clearly. Keep it up!
