What a time we live in. A 3 time major winner and someone that has won millions playing golf is taking time to help us average joes on RUclips. No need to for clickbait nonsense titles, just quality instruction
You are the link between pro world and amateur world, so important that you exist and that you keep on doing what you do. Padraig, you are a treasure in golf and life💫
This is exactly the problem I've misunderstood for years. Less and less wrist action had me hitting shorter and shorter without realising why. Took this to the range today, loosened up the wrists at both ends of the swing and CRUSHED it. Thank you so much Padraig!
Same. I quickly got too comfortable though and started to develop the terrible habit of getting way to loose with my torso and arms and I couldn’t square the face.
Padraig. I have been using internet teaching videos for years. I must say that absolutely none are even close to you as a teacher or the brilliant way you present the very complicated art of golf. You are as successful a golf teacher as you are a golfer. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Best ever golf explanation year's wasted listening to absolute crap so simple from Padraig Harrington . honestly I'm going to hit good golf shots first time ever thanks to Padraig cheers buddy absolute legend.❤
How cool is it that Paddy takes time out of his busy schedule (practicing and cleaning all of his trophies) to teach all of us how he plays the game. Imagine if all world class players could remember all their fans and could do the same. You’re a class act, sir. It’s amazing to see someone with so much talent, relate to those that haven’t been so fortunate.
Thanks Paddy, I hope you know how much both you and these videos mean to us average joes. It just goes to show how much you love the game and how humble and genuine you really are to give your time up to do these lessons. Can’t wait for the next one. Sincere thanks and I hope your government has a change of heart and lets you all in Ireland get back to golf earlier. Cheers, Geoff
I have gained around 20 yards per club after following your videos. This is the best instruction in all of RUclips golf. Your teachings can be very well combined with the GEM training aid.
Paddy, thank you for this video. This is probably some of the best information I have come across. I love how you mentioned the strong wrist position being tough for chipping. It reminded me right away of Viktor Hovland and his early chipping struggles, which it seems he has figured out since. Thank you for again for your clear and concise explanations.
This is by far the best and clearest explanation of why you want a bowed wrist and how to release it and how if squares the club and creates club head speed. Can't wait to try this!
You are the best at instruction too.... All this bowing of left wrist at impact had been so confusing while it actually wanted to extend ... Had been fighting it all along and here you came with the best logical instruction on use if wrists ... Once again .. thanks a lot for your extraordinary video.
Thanks. This is outstanding. My feeling is people don’t go into this great of detail, is they want you back for lessons. You want us to learn it for ourselves so we can improve. Well done!
OMG, this totally clear up my mis-understanding of golf swing. Going to remove all other golf videos but only keep this one. Thank you so much for helping out, Mr. Harrington. You are one of the greatest.
I’m glad I watched this. So many videos on here that tell you not to release the club. Then up steps an actual major winning pro golfer who says that you need to release the club. I know who I’m listening to! Thanks Pardraig!
Such a great teacher....and a very likeable guy! Good stuff...... the kids today have so much great info Nice to see he is doing so well at this point in his career.
Thank you Padraig! I have been following about every teacher on RUclips and never subscribed to anyone because there is always something lacking in their teaching. In contrast, you are so «wholesome» in everything you teach and I have subscribed🏌️♂️!!!
For The First time I understand how the wrist should move! Tried it immediatly afterwards and all my clubs are going 20 to 40 Meters further without any other changes! Unbelievable! Thank you so much!!!!
Wow! If golf were a computer program then Padraig wrote the code. Incredible information here. This really is the best instruction I’ve ever seen. Thanks Padraig Harrington.
Kudos! This is the same ulnar deviation, bowing, and the release that legendary long hitter Mike Austin taught me back in the late 1990's! You are also adding energy to the clubhead. Slap something with the back of your lead hand with a flat wrist while holding that position. Then try it with a bowed lead wrist and let it fly, that is, extend. The latter provides much more power. Thanks!
Yes. I played my best round ever doing this. Went from around 80-83 to 70(2 under). Then stopped because I caught a few thin but straight. Guess I have to give it more time because scores are terrible lately.
Wow been all over the place recently with driver. Tried this without any rehearsal on first tee of first comp' of the year. Crushed it straight for miles. All the rest were equal if not better. Although I did snap hook one, but persevered. Didn't work so well with irons as they were mostly out the toe. Can't wait to get back out there. Thanks so much Mr Harrington!
Cheers Padraig. Great lesson and one to watch often for me. So much of golf is technique and thus concept driven. If we give our brain the correct conceptual method and set it on the right path it will simply do a lot of the work for us with natural error correction as we practice/play. And just as importantly it will not work against us with its own faulty ideas. 💡
I'm glad you said that about extending left wrist through impact. It wasn't till I did that, about a year ago, I got at least an extra 30 yards out of the driver, and a lot more accurate too.
Wow. What a brilliant explanation. Thanks Padraig, you’ve clarified this pronation thing perfectly. Keeping the wrist pronated through impact was so illogical to me that I couldn’t relax and swing the club. I’ve just tried what you’ve demonstrated and I’ve now got my swing back. Brilliant mate. 👍👍
Excellent sharing. Will try. This is very advanced technique and in-depth talking like this is very rare in any golf lessons. We see the pro control their wrists nicely but actually very difficult for recreational players.
Some 21 years ago when I was at close proximity watching Paddy play in Dubai, I loved his game. So wonderful to watch his videos and practice what he has successfully done.
Could listen pardraig all day. Love the way he goes into great detail to explain in depth what he is trying teach us. I will be going to the practice ground to practice all these moves Thanks paddy your a true champion
Paddy really answered several of my questions. Don't make the club face strong until downswing/transition because you don't need to close it like that on short game shots (shorter swings)... makes perfect logical sense and is less confusing long term. Please let me know if this is not what you meant, Mr. P. From 20 degrees to 5 degrees really explains it well.
Fascinating! It does go against the grain of what quite a few pro’s teach. They seem to encourage more shaft lean at the point of contact. Thus actually de-lofting the club. I always sort of questioned this, since irons are more de-lofted than they were 15-20 years ago. I used to be a pretty good player years ago. I was 5-7 hdcp at my peak. Paddy said he hits his 9 iron 160 yds. I averaged 140 back than. Now at 70 yrs old the best I can muster is 110 yds. Loss of flexibility has taken its toll. Now getting any height is a struggle with my mid irons, along with hitting the ball first and then the turf. I’ll give Paddy’s instructions a go. Maybe I can pick up 10-15 yds but not actually flip the club. Thanks Paddy.
How lucky are we having the Great Paddy as our coach. This is by far the best thing I found this morning since I heard Donald Trump coming back 2024. Thank you Paddy much love and respect. stay blessed
Thank you Padraig, You are such a great teacher and player! You have really helped me play so much better. I have always loved to watch you play, inspiring! I have watched a lot of golf videos but none as educational as yours!
Love the tip Paddy. Too many pros push major shaft lean and taking the wrists out. (i.e. Impact snap). Had a lesson with Larry Rinker a few years back and his approach is about getting the wrists involved. It has helped me add distance and consistency. I'm glad successful pros like you are helping educate that the wrists are an important aspect to the swing.
Dear Mr Harrington! Thanks for your excellent advises in golf - they are so much concepted getting a natural moved swing than others and they help me getting a more powerfull swing than I had in the past. The main difference in modern golfswings and the distance which ich results is, that the clubs are "delofted" in the impact so that a 9 iron has more the distance of a 7 or 6 iron.... This is possible because a lot of companies are producing different typs of shafts who bring the ball up in the air - for example your KBS shafts. If the irons become longer, the closed and delofted face becomes more and more a problem in combination with the longer shafts - but here are helping all the hybrids and driving irons in modern golf. I'm still hitting the balls with the loft a golfclub really has and so my 9 iron is maybe 150 with a good shot. For me is important hitting a green near trhe flag, not hitting with a short iron a 190 shot (which I pull left at the end...). And if you watch Tiger Woods maybe with his good old low launching DG x100 shafts, he is hitting a longer iron than other modern players (maybe a Pwedge for 120), but he is winning with the masters two years ago again. And "shorties" like Langer are still better in augusta than many others in the past, for example like DeChambeau. If he would be one or two iron longer, he maybe would still play for the title in augusta. But he is not, he is as long as I'm; it was so in the past with persimmon woods and is now the same. I hope your tips bring me this iron longer iron distance I need for getting my controlled short iron shot to the greens I'm looking for - maybe with a delofted iron. All the best please and stay safe!
That was a wonderful! Thanks so much. Loved the explanation of the wrist moving towards extension through impact. This lesson really had an instant impact on my swing. I’m amazed.
You probably won't see this at this point, but man this is such a great video. The part where you are telling people to release the bowed wrist is super helpful.
Great advice , I’ve been struggling with the concept of hitting down on irons and really screwed myself up and stopped releasing the club through impact as I was trying to keep the handle ahead of the club head , now some clarity thanks.
Wow, you use your wrists! I’ve been cupped and across the line for most of my golfing history but a few weeks ago I made a change. My goal was to get bowed at the top of the backswing and turn hard. I’ve certainly added distance by doing this but it’s not a natural position for me and it’s hard work. Also I find it hard to find the sweet spot on each swing. However based on your advice Padraig (thanks so much for sharing) I’ll now try to add in some “flip/left wrist extension” when I next play. It now appears blindingly obvious that the extremely bowed DJ must be extending his left wrist into impact otherwise he’d surely smother everything left and doesn’t he play with a controlled fade now. PS I won a few quid on you from the bookies when you won at Carnoustie - thanks for that also.
@@markrowley4397 Not very well (too inconsistent) so I quickly gave up trying! What appears to working however (for my last 2 rounds anyway!) is Padraig's advice on the shoulder turn. I'm now concentrating on my right shoulder moving back and up. This has stopped me moving off the ball as much in the back swing and kept me a bit taller - my old thought of turning the left shoulder under my chin was producing a sway and an excessive dip! Good luck with your game.
davidstevan1 David, that shoulder turn is what Hogan called his 'Magical Device' Ted Hunt mentions this in his books,Ben Hogans's tips for weekend golfers and Ben Hogan's short game simplified. I've been playing golf for 35 years and wish I'd read this back then, with limited practice I've gone from to shooting in the high eighties to busting eighty on three occasions. ⛳️🏌️♀️
Been playin for 30+ years and I just discovered this as well. I used to be cupped in the backswing then learned in the last year or so to get it flat/bowed in the backswing but I didn't know how to release it. Now I just dump it all on the ball by trying to actively flex the trail hand (think Couples) in the follow through. It is amazing the difference. Fully compressed shots for first time in ages.
Extend through impact. I only just heard this from a video by a canadian coach called Steve Cowx. He also said the same thing, extend through impact. Love your lessons, youre teaching us REAL GOLF, just not instruction golf.
I SWEAR TO EVERYONE Between him saying to Stand up and Doin Exactly what he Is explaining the bow in the wrist. I was Blown away!! I go back w the Standard or neutral grip then I practice w out looking at my Hands and Cup on the way Down. In slow motion. I Now see the Amazing Difference in Impact! I now play around w natural Or Normal Face impact and I can feel w out looking the Full cupping and the Difference in Distance Control. I was almost in Tears w Joy. Its NUTS! Sorry about the Long Comment but listen to this Man. Just standing up w out Hunched Shoulders is a World of Difference. Thank Paddy uve Change my Life in striking the golf ball. I left out one important thing. It stops the club face from getting out in front of ur Hands also. 🙏🏻 And!!! I’ve been playing w the Fades and Draws w this Face Control I will Not Listen to any other Person besides him Ever!
Very well explained on both Videos Padraig. What I love about this is the deviation away from some of the modern principles. Golf in some ways gas gotten way too mechanical. Some players are almost afraid to use the wrists being told it's bad. Wrists add much more speed through the ball when used properly.
Padraig, thanks for all your videos they are really a source of wisdom I keep coming back to lately. Could you help me with the explanation from 6:00 - 6:45 about this bowing action happening "naturally" for most people. This has been something I have struggled with for my entire golfing experience so forgive the lengthy explanation but I want to be precise, forgive me also I'm an engineer. The reason being for me, no matter how I grip the club(Strong, neutral or weak) when I take the club back to the top I have a cup in my left wrist (to give you an idea, at address if I cock my wrists straight up without moving anything else this cup is the same position at the top) Granted the grip changes where the club face is at the top (either closed, neutral or toe down) but the cup in the wrist is always there. Now for me what I feel is natural is that this cup remains nearly until my wrist unhinge at the bottom of the swing. To further explain, if I feel my grip pressure is 3/10, and my wrist firmness is 0/10, these same positions will be created "naturally" if I swing the club back and forth in a perpetual motion drill letting centrifugal force of the club and gravity doing all the work. I can create a flat left wrist at the top of the back swing and do this bowing action you describe in the downswing, but it feels like I am fighting the way the club wants to swing naturally. Now my question is this, should I fight what I feel is natural to me and practice this bowing action until possibly one day it becomes "normal"? I know at 6:45 you say this should happen naturally for "most" people, if one finds themselves not included in the most should they try to train the action to be normal or stick with what they have. Thank you for your time if you have made it this far. I would appreciate any feedback, if any others have insight, or are like myself.

This ain’t helping the average Joe buddy lol
just a shame it's so difficult to replicate in a 2 second swing
He must have a gambling problem
I can think of a lot of major champions who have done tutorials before RUclips and since
You are the link between pro world and amateur world, so important that you exist and that you keep on doing what you do. Padraig, you are a treasure in golf and life💫
This is my favorite series of golf instructions. Thanks for this!
It’s refreshing to see someone who has achieved so much and with your ability giving back to the game, very much appreciated.
Thanks Paddy...
Very true John, Top man Paddy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well said!!
I watched him playing in Bermuda. A fantastic golfer with such humility...
You look like you enjoy teaching more than even playing…You are indeed a rare breed…Thank you.
This is exactly the problem I've misunderstood for years. Less and less wrist action had me hitting shorter and shorter without realising why. Took this to the range today, loosened up the wrists at both ends of the swing and CRUSHED it. Thank you so much Padraig!
Me too! So much of recent instruction is bowed/pronate and it just has me dragging the handle through like DJ. Can’t wait to get to the range!

Fantastic advice from a great player. Thank you Padraig.
Extend through impact. I only just heard this from a video by a canadian coach called Steve Cowx. He also said the same thing, extend through impact. Love your lessons, youre teaching us REAL GOLF, just not instruction golf.
I SWEAR TO EVERYONE
Between him saying to Stand up and Doin Exactly what he Is explaining the bow in the wrist. I was Blown away!!
I go back w the Standard or neutral grip then I practice w out looking at my Hands and Cup on the way Down. In slow motion. I Now see the Amazing Difference in Impact! I now play around w natural Or Normal Face impact and I can feel w out looking the Full cupping and the Difference in Distance Control. I was almost in Tears w Joy. Its NUTS!
Sorry about the Long Comment but listen to this Man. Just standing up w out Hunched Shoulders is a World of Difference.
Thank Paddy uve Change my Life in striking the golf ball. I left out one important thing. It stops the club face from getting out in front of ur Hands also.
🙏🏻
And!!! I’ve been playing w the Fades and Draws w this Face Control
I will Not Listen to any other Person besides him Ever!
Gorgeous swing and makes it look so easy 😜 Pronated....word of the day 👍
The man is a genius. Has it perfectly correct.
Thanks Padraig great lesson many thanks for all your tips!
So much info in these videos. Thanks for doing this. I had to mute the Masters tournament on today so I could finish what you have posted so far!
Any time!
Very well explained on both Videos Padraig. What I love about this is the deviation away from some of the modern principles. Golf in some ways gas gotten way too mechanical. Some players are almost afraid to use the wrists being told it's bad. Wrists add much more speed through the ball when used properly.
Love this. So informative. I'm enlightened. Thank you, Paddy. You rock
Patty, thank you for sharing some of your knowledge. You're the best 🤗
This is good stuff!! One of my favorite players of all time!
Thanks Padraig, awesome advice and really helped me!
Brilliantly explained. Can't wait to try this tomorrow.
TQ Padraig. Great video. By the way, I am a member of Horizon Hills GC (Johor, Malaysia) - you won the Iskandar Open here in 2010👍
I'm really enjoying your tips. Very technical and detailed. Just what I'm looking for.
Padraig, thanks for all your videos they are really a source of wisdom I keep coming back to lately. Could you help me with the explanation from 6:00 - 6:45 about this bowing action happening "naturally" for most people. This has been something I have struggled with for my entire golfing experience so forgive the lengthy explanation but I want to be precise, forgive me also I'm an engineer. The reason being for me, no matter how I grip the club(Strong, neutral or weak) when I take the club back to the top I have a cup in my left wrist (to give you an idea, at address if I cock my wrists straight up without moving anything else this cup is the same position at the top) Granted the grip changes where the club face is at the top (either closed, neutral or toe down) but the cup in the wrist is always there. Now for me what I feel is natural is that this cup remains nearly until my wrist unhinge at the bottom of the swing. To further explain, if I feel my grip pressure is 3/10, and my wrist firmness is 0/10, these same positions will be created "naturally" if I swing the club back and forth in a perpetual motion drill letting centrifugal force of the club and gravity doing all the work. I can create a flat left wrist at the top of the back swing and do this bowing action you describe in the downswing, but it feels like I am fighting the way the club wants to swing naturally. Now my question is this, should I fight what I feel is natural to me and practice this bowing action until possibly one day it becomes "normal"? I know at 6:45 you say this should happen naturally for "most" people, if one finds themselves not included in the most should they try to train the action to be normal or stick with what they have. Thank you for your time if you have made it this far. I would appreciate any feedback, if any others have insight, or are like myself.
Hi.. maybe you can check if you have the proper grip as in Paddy's 2nd video?
✌️. Like this wrist approach! Ok, now time to go to train it.
Another masterclass, thanks Padraig
Great stuff Padraig. Great explanations.
Thanks Padraig. Good luck, and have a great round today down in Texas!
Fantastic video again, thanks Paddy
