85% of so called golf instructors selling their junk on KZfaq are teaching less to hardly any hand and wrist action....this is what we call "Old School" or what really works....

He is such a sound golf instructor. Forget all the crap and polished productions. He just cuts to the chase, and doesn't let any schools of thought push him around. This is some of the best stuff I've seen, and I've watched a lot. He's no fluff, just logical. Thanks Paddy.

This 9 minute video has seen me make the single largest improvement to my iron shots since I started playing golf. Night and day improvement. It's never felt so easy before - leveraging skills I learned playing tennis. Thanks Padraig!!

Paddy was born to teach choppers, but has picked up a few big jugs and other hardware and many millions along the way. Thanks for being down to earth and helping hackers. Good luck in the Ryder Cup.

Excellent tip along the lines of what the great Bob Toski said. Noted teacher Bob Toski, though, loves to hit mammoth drives from his knees. The point, Toski says, is that the hands, wrists and arms can generate a huge amount of power. “I just don’t understand what these people (big-muscle advocates) are talking about,” Toski says. “The body can’t make a swing, because the body isn’t touching the club. You can’t get any speed from your shoulders.

Thanks Padraig..tried this..it worked a treat...I remember watching you in Ireland in the smurfit European open many moons ago and you were in contention to win on the final day in front of home support yet you still took the time to sign every autograph ( including my hat)and you were happy to do it...Monty turned up in the car park and basically wasn’t interested when the kids ran over to get his autograph and he ushered them away..really grumpily I might add...you’re a class act Padraig and deserve every success you’ve had in your illustrious career...Legend!👍⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️🇬🇧 🇮🇪

I used to normally flip the club and I was a fairly decent golfer somewhere around eight handicap. I started watching the golf instruction that said that it's not a good idea to flip the club and to hold lag as long as possible. And it literally tanked my game. I went to the golf range after watching the second lesson and I started getting my consistency back instantly. Thank you for sharing the information it helps out weekend 🏌🏻‍♂️

I love him. He says the opposite to everything which is taught but, it is all correct. Love it 😍

Sir Paddy, I have to say I was never a big fan of yours. But after seeing your passion for helping others...aka... Common Weekend Warriors...aka...Hackers...here on KZfaq, I now know I was all wrong about you Sir. And for that, I sincerely apologize. This has to be the best most to the point succinct lesson I have ever seen. No positioning P 1-6 talk, but just simply how to freely swing and control the club, specifically the face. Hats off Sir! Thank you for your unselfish love of the World's Greatest game! I'll be rooting for you from know on in medal tournament play, but being American, no can do in the Ryder Cup! Lol! But still, good luck to the Europeans there as well! God Bless, and I wish you the best of luck out on The Tour! Your new fan...

I tried this at the range tonight and it totally transformed my iron shots. Before i was trying to smash the ball hard with limited success, but this showed me it's all about the timing of the release coupled with a smooth tempo. Thanks!

Hi Padraig! I love how you started KZfaq to output the right knowledge bc there's such misinformation. I'm a junior ambassador for the SCGA in California which serves under served juniors in the inner cities and it would be amazing if we could host a clinic with you. If you would be willing, let's connect! I know your time in the states are slim but whenever your free, we will be free. Talk to you soon!

This tip is insane, I watched the video went to the range and had the biggest Aha moment of my golfing life, the crispness and distance felt amazing, complete transformation.

Thanks, Paddy! Great to know that an elite player flips their wrists. Many an ‘expert’ sees a body stall & flip and starts teaching ‘hold the angle’ nonsense.

Three time major winner and class act. I remember Shane Lowry went to his home , walked into the kitchen and the replica claret jug was sitting on the counter by the sink. Let me tell you; Mr. Harrington ISN'T full of himself.

Padraig, you are the perfect gentleman and great Golf Professional. The true pride of Ireland. ...And that's from a Welsh man. Great sensible video lessons.😊

lol "One Take Harrington". Watched a lot of a Tiger and Paddy in their prime, can't believe he's got a KZfaq channel, great content!

Great video, could not agree more. So many instructors and videos are trying to increase lag by having you hold your wrist angles and not flip. What they don’t say is that all players have to release their wrist angles which means all players flip. The key is when the flip happens. Amateur players definitely release earlier than better players but we all flip. The key is timing when the release happens and lag is created by lower body rotation, not by artificially holding your wrists back. Well done Paddy 🏌🏻‍♂️

A lesson from a legend. Listen up kids.

Why have I not seen this channel? Maybe I have. Best instruction video out there by a dude who has a few majors to his name.

I have watched many videos and become somewhat confused. Went to the range today after watching this video and I now believe this instruction could be my salvation. Many thanks to this fine instructor, golfer and man. Best of luck!

Henry Cotton vibes ! Love it Padraig thank you sir !

Rick Shields asked who is the best you tube golfer. I rest my case my lord 👍👍👍

The information paddy gives us is incredible, comeing from seasoned real pro. Listen to no other. Well done paddy thanks for your time to helps us.

It’s a treat watching and listening to a player of Padraig’s stature. We all get hung up in textbook positions and never think about feel. Time to get out to the range.

Great teaching! I love the unedited-ness of the video! Lol! Classic and REAL is Padraig!

I’ve tried for years to figure out how to get the wrist down. Watched a million videos. Watched this one time and it changed my game forever. It was only possible with the right grip. My grip was waaaay wrong! It stopped my early release. And improved my distance dramatically. This video is priceless..

I think this instruction advice is aimed more towards the very advanced player with a really aggressive attitude towards releasing the club at the bottom and "letting it go". This is probably very good for the player who uses their arms to generate speed, which can "sometimes" produce a bit of a sluggish hit. Potential power lost when using the arms only and holding off on it. Good instruction and potentially a deadly piece of advice for some players who might have a fear of just aggressively letting it go. Hitting balls with the feet together naturally forces the player to release the hands and wrists. A great drill. Thanks!

The bag was listening so attentively and actually followed the word 'FLIP'. LOL Congrats on the Senior Cup, Paddy.

Amazing to watch him hit balls! Thank you for showing us mere mortals how to swing a golf club.

The movement of wrists for speed works.. just started 6 weeks ago.. such a difference

Paddy you got a mic! Sounds great!

If you have face control you hit the middle of the ball with the sweet spot of the club most times, great lesson, this guys good.

Thank you so much for these videos!!! Cheers from Germany, Greg

Watched this and just went and hit the best bucket of balls ever. Thank you!

Thanks Padraig. Enjoying & learning from your videos

I said thanks for the videos when you were on the chipping green at the Honda with another pro. I mean it. I tell all my students to watch your videos

I started and fell in love with golf a year ago at age 55. They say it takes a year to learn your basic swing. I have watched hundreds of videos that stress using straight arms, shoulders, legs and torso only. "Never use wrists is their message". I have struggled to get consistency. My golf partner recently told me my swing was too robotic too "Woody" and to use the wrists more. I refused from all the advice on KZfaq. I tried flicking wrists last week on the driving range. What a Eurica moment? This video confirms my lesson and I am so greatful. Begin with short whip shots then lengthen the swing and incorporate the other principles. Thank you. I have subscribed as you hit the nail on the head for me.

Good ideas for rhythm too. Highly recommend that one practice off of a tee with slow 3/4 swings. Practicing off a tee allows for a smooth easy transition and tempo without worrying about where the ball is going or hitting down on the ball. p.s. I'm a former PGA Class A Professional.

Learning from a legend. What's not to love?

This is my second time commenting on this video but I just need to express how helpful this lesson was. I have watched countless hours of golf instruction online but this video right here has had the most positive impact on my iron game. Bar none. If I'm ever having a bad round or bad range session I literally just revert back to using my wrists in the swing and I inevidably hit it straighter and more consistently. I might not get the distance that I would from my full body driven swing, but my body driven swing is so inconsistent lately that the slight yardage loss is irrelevant. My golf progress had plateaud until I watched this video. A couple of range sessions later I played my best round of my life. Recently I got conned (again) into thinking I was missing out on something by not fully using my body, firing my hips, generating ground force etc etc. I started going back down that rabbit hole and and my swing quickly went to sh*t afterwards. Today I was having the MOST frustrating range session because of this and then I remembered this lesson. I dropped all the fluff and got back to short swings and using my wrists and started flushing straight shots immediately. Thank you Paddy.

I used to swing with no wrist hinge, I made a conscious effort to work on it and man did it make a difference...so much more power, club shallows more naturally...

I love these drills. It works great for most players that know how to swing not only using the arms. I noticed that weekend players that do not have the fundamentals of turning with their body, shifting weight have issues trying to perform this drill. Y They attempt to use wrist, but get confused and only rotate their arms and wrist and they end up locking the rest of the body which results in only using the arms. To fix their lack of body movement they try to compensate by getting too flippy and casting. When I see decent players that rotate the body fluently this drill works wonders. Just look at Mr. Harrington how smooth and efficient. Unfortunately some weekend players do not work on properly rotating or shifting weight and they are all arms on the back swing and downswing. I love to see one of the greats golfers teaching golf for free in this platform instead of getting wealthier selling the course. What Mr. Harington does here is what some claim to do, "Grow the game."

A seasoned pro encouraging flipping, instead of all this hold the angle, lag, brilliant for us oldies, tried it today, massive difference in ball striking, cheers Paddy

Nice to see that paddys got a nice sense of humor

I like 'Weekend Warrior'...guess that is my new golf shirt then. Thanks Padraig, you're the man !

I LOVE... the soothing background music! THANK YOU "Winner of The GOLD MEDAL!"

One take Harrington!!! Love it. Dude is awesome !!!

One take Harrington......nice one 😉

Padraig Harrington,thankyou for your time and amazing tutorials. If your videos aren’t helping to improve our game then nothing will!

Cheers Paddy. A busy man but time to do these is appreciated. 👍

Great stuff Padraig!

4:34 - the bag topped over again 😎

very cool not over complicated videos. Thanx mr one take Harrington

This is gold. Thank you.

Loved the "live" bag.

Most mind-blowing video I've watched on KZfaq, right here.

Thank you!

This video is GOLD!!! He dispels several myths and gives all of us USEFUL information and principles. New long term subscriber.

Excellent instructions🏆⛳

What more can you ask for..Major champion world class golf instruction backed by lounge cocktail piano 🎹..Well done Paddy...more please!

Camera quality is superb now

As first thumb, i’m sure you will send me an autograph !!!😂😉

Thanks Patty enjoyed this video best wishes this year on tour

Thanks, Paddy. Excellent instruction for the weekend warrior. Not 1-take Harrington though- that bag moved after it fell over the first time ; )

Simple tutorial from the master! Thanks Paddy👍🏌️‍♂️

I gotta like this man , he explains things so simply and yet at the same time entertaining , tour pros often seem disconnected to the hackers yet paddy teaches like a mate teaching his mates ,a down to earth champion and role model for anyone aspiring to get on tour ,

Who else wants to see the top KZfaq golfers in their own tournament sponsored by KZfaq. They have to make a cut, get a trophy, and money win money for a cause?

You probably know already but your theory on skill learning is spot on. The best way to learn a new movement pattern is not to do 100s of reps of the ideal but do 100s alternating extremes around the ideal. Your body will then naturally zone in on the ideal without being forced.

Thanks very much! Brilliant

Thank you “one take Harrington”. What a relief to see such a natural way to swing the club.

Now world class on KZfaq, thanks Paddy. thats cleared a few myths up, personally i would prefer to listen to you with out the background music, but thats just my PO.👍👍👍

Padraig…you have to be one of the most humble tour players!! Thank you for taking the time for us weekend warriors!! Awesome video!!

Wished I saw this before I when to driving range,first day back after lockdown,great vid ,back to the range ,then out for a game 👏👍

Padraig is an amazing teacher.

Brilliant lesson and a beautiful swing.

Paddy one take. Bag went over second time & cut & start again with bagged propped up with a couple of clubs. I wet myself, simple things... Thanks champ great videos.

Thought about wrists tip on my round today. Direction and distance were great with my irons and pitching. Thanks man. Got the feel back.

I've had lessons from many good club pros! My best tuition comes from an ex European Tour Pro Steve Harrison who played with Seve and Sandy. He knew how to play at the highest level like Padraig invaluable no nonsense real world coaching! Great video cheers!

Paddy, Thank you!!! You are making golf fun again!!!

Thanks Padraig, this has given me an extra 15 yards on my irons. Have followed you at Walton Heath several times and loved every moment. Thanks for sharing these tips with us amateurs, pure gold.

This is the only way I’ve been able to get that hiss sound after striking the ball. Thanks paddy!

You are the best Paddy. Love your no nonsense style

Paddy is an excellent instructor.

Agree with this dude. I am here watching this after playing shit golf for the last year. I had this down years back but got suckered into other techniques. I went from my usual crap driving range today to instant fix. So here I am watching a guy teach exactly what turned my day around. Although I envision that perfect whip at ball contact, which is your hands turning over. Instantly corrected my over active body. Don’t get me wrong, there are different styles that work for everyone. This one works like a charm for me. I found if it starts to not work as well then loosen your wrist move to get a more flippy feeling.

What an absolute legend 👏

Thanks Paddy. These two videos are the best videos I have seen on the golf swing. I think most players learn golf without learning how to control the face at all, and then end up trying to control the ball with their bodies. Thanks a million, from Dublin. I believe your best is yet to come.

No joke this video and his other one on the shoulders and torso has just lead to the best round of golf I’ve played all season. Paddy your videos are incredible, they’re short but incredibly detailed and this leads to them being easy to remember and internalise. They’ve genuinely made a material difference to my game. Thank you

Another excellent lesson from a golf legend. Thank You

I do love this tip. And it as changed my game. I am playing better with this tip.The only thing that's playing with me a bit. Am I now casting by getting the wrist working from the top. Thanks

Best advice I’ve ever had firing my right hand over the top for a draw instead of bowing my left wrist. I love it thank you!!

Great video. Great sense of humor!

Excellent tutorial

Love your instruction Padraig. Thanks.

😂 one take Paddy love it 💙💙💙💙 thanks for the tips, helps tremendously

Literally no one talks about active risk like this on KZfaq, most amateur golfers absolutely need to overuse their wrist to feel the weight of the club, It's a natural movement. Most people only hinge up and down. You need a left/right hinge as well. Great video.

I tink he’s a great teacher

Legend, so simple and so right!!

Excellent thanks paddy!!!

Thanks Paddy. You the man. Love this.

Thanks again, Padraig!! Your videos are absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting. Greatly appreciated.
