- Part 2 of my lesson on using natural athleticism. This time, my focus is on how the natural athleticism used in swinging a tennis racquet and/or a baseball bat can also be utilized to develop a dynamic golf swing.

What tip you like to see in my next video? Comment below!
Would love to see putting!
3 Wood of the deck kills me.... Thank You so much for these great videos!!!
Hi Padraig,
I'd love to know a bit about your decision making in a competitive round , and the process you use to pick the correct spot for a mid iron or long iron shot into greens .also any psychology you think could help amatuers in tournament play .
cheers Lee
Great Video! Would love to see the approach shots from 120 in.
Any putting drills or perspective on putting grip would be great Padraig. Thanks for helping the golf faithful (and frustrated) 😊
As a former college tennis player, this video is incredibly helpful for me to feel the proper release of the clubhead. Thank you!
Ok this is brilliant… why doesn’t anyone teach this!! Thank you!
Why is no one else saying to use your innate ability, especially when coming over from playing many years of baseball? I always knew deep down that you had to use your existing skill but just fine tune it a little bit. Mr. Harrington.. you, sir, are THE MAN! Thank you!
You came up with two most important points in golf: one, simple. Two, fun. Make complex easy, i feel like hitting some balls after watching your vid
This is the best damn golf advice I've ever heard! Coming from a baseball and tennis background, I had a pretty good natural swing compared to a lot of raw beginners, but when I really got into the game and started looking at all sorts of instructional material, thinking about positions and a million different things, my swing got really lost and I was struggling to find one to stick with. Going back to basics and using the feel of hitting developed in baseball and tennis brought a lot more consistency, not to mention being easier in the body than trying all these unnatural movements, and whaddya know, also much better positions visually.
One thing that took time to adjust, though, was getting neutral hand position at impact. In tennis, you pretty much never hit a flat forehand, 95% top spin 5% slice? With baseball it doesn't matter where you make impact around the circumference of the barrel, so the tendency is trail hand under (strong grip) for big power. The drill Paddy posted alternating hook and sliced and working your way to neutral helps getting this feeling.
Exactly this for me.
I wish I'd had found this channel before I bought a lesson package. You break things down so much better than what i've been taught so far.
It would be good to discuss why some golfers hit all irons about the same distance. Paddy, you are a wonderful ambassador for the great game of golf. Thank you.
I play competitive tennis and really took to golf for the exact reasons Padraig has suggested.
Understanding a cut in golf is just a forehand slice , helped me control my shot , forming a fade . It’s been big for me
you're going to put all the other RUclips golf pundits/swing coaches out of business, another cracking and easy swing thought video, thank you so much.
Man, this was explained perfectly. I'm a tennis player, yes, all accurate. You can make the transition.
Simple and to the point. Love Paddy!
I love this video…I was a competitive tennis player…I came to golf and did exactly what you said…started cutting out the athleticism and started down the path of videos and overthinking mechanics…since I have gone back to thinking of it as a top spin forward me draw has come back and hitting better than ever…Thank You!
You are so real Padraig. I wish I had seen this video 10 yrs ago. From a good tennis player with good athleticism to become a robotic golfer unfortunately because i was told I was too armsy, overswing , no lag, distance could be better etc
Can you coach online?
Oh Paddy..you are simply the best coach on youtube
Paddy this series has been great, but these 2 videos about athleticism have been a godsend!! First round after this video and I shot a even par 72! I cannot thank you enough!! Been fighting a wild driver and inconsistent swing of late and this video let me play with so much freedom! Go low in the open tomorrow!!
Thanks Paddy! Your tips are the best out there!
I seriously love these videos. Thanks so much Paddy.
these tips are really helping me as a novice, thanks
Love this. I am a hockey and tennis player and have never forgotten my shots in these sports and I progress on my golf voyage. My scores are coming down as I become better at being consistent with my face control.
This has truly freed up my golf swing. Life long baseball player. Never applied my athleticism to golf. Thank you paddy the baddy!
No bollocks just simple explanation of how to hit a golf ball. Cheers paddy
Jeez I played for England under 16s at Tennis, been playing golf a year….wish I knew this sooner. Cheers sir
Game changer! Thanks Paddy!!
Really this is a very good tip!
I totally identify myself... I play tennis too and I had never seen such a similarity and I had dissociated both sports (losing the athletic part in golf and slowing down the swing). Thank you very much!!!
This stuff is great to hear. I was a baseball player back in the day and a lot of the drills/tips I tell myself is to move my body this way or don’t do that. You are so right about keeping the athleticism in it, just control the club face!
Paddy, you are the man!
This is wonderful instruction and a mental model I'll be revisiting periodically. Too many golfers, myself included, are too busy playing "golf swing" vs playing golf itself.
Paddie: Finally, the TRUTH has been told!!! Priceless video!! Thank you!!!
Thank you again, for making these videos! We greatly appreciate it!
What a great message put across simply.👍🏻
Paddy, just wanted to let you know how much your time and effort is appreciated in making these videos. Both part 1 &2 are superbly explained and illustrated and have been enormously helpful. Thanks so much.
Very nice video that makes complete sense. Thank you !!
Brilliant tips again Padraig, would love to see a lesson on how to maintain balance through to the finish. So many people including me tend to fall back too much or don’t get their lower body through
Making things simple, superb
Great explanation again. Understanding this concept helps player to understand the role of trail arm in relation to other sport that they used to play before and hence making golf swing much easier.
Question is when and how to use trail arm during transition ? He said to fully load the backswing . What happen after?
Great videos! I finally found a channel that makes sense and is helping my game. Thanks!
Tips on how to actually hit the ball clean! Learning how to aim your club into the ball for your swing. I get very inconsistent ball strikes like topping, hitting grasses too early, my divots are even up/down a clubface from the ball
Could that possibly be the only golf lesson u ever need🤔😂😂😂
I am really enjoying your videos, you have a very good way of explaining things and reducing the complexity of it all, keep up the good video work.
Boom! love this!
Thank you Sir! Your effort and time invested in this videos is greatly appreciated. Thank you again!
You are very welcome!
This is golden everybody should do this will be amazed how damn good you can get peeps!!
Excellent description!
Great image and concept, thanks.
Many thanks!
Watching hundreds of golfers as a starter / marshal at a course I realized they sliced and hooked because they were falling off balance in the takeaway, impact and finish without seeming to realize it and therefore not having a clue it was the root cause of their problem. I also realized I was suffering from the same problem.
When my subconscious brain sensed a loss of balance it solved the problem by trying to steer the source of the imbalance, the club swinging club head, in some other direction that felt more in balance. Now I recognize that most beginner swing faults like pronating the left hand, swinging the club back too inside and low, bending the elbows in the process, not letting the club pull the left arm straight in the takeaway and backswing and bending elbows after impact in the finish are all subconscious reactions (intuitive solutions) to sensing a loss of balance.
A drill I created to help golfers with that problem is to show them where the club should be outside the hands in the takeaway and finish extensions, have them hold it out there and pull on their club head with about 2x the force the club would if they swung it there properly. It usually takes pulling them off their feet that way 3-4x times before their subconscious brain to realize “Hey, this is just like tug of war with the club” and start shifting hips, bracing the legs and counter falling the upper body. Then conscious of where they should be swinging the club to (like GPS waypoints) and aware it will try to pull them off balance they reflexively brace and manage to swing in balance start to finish.
The other thing that seems to work really well with beginners is to have them address the ball with only their left hand on the grip but with hips 45° open and face placed square just in front of the ball - where it will be as the ball releases to the target. Then keeping their right elbow tucked in and bent over the the hip side bend down in order to get their right hand on the grip. I have them pose and take their grip where the pros are just as ball releases. Again it takes 3-4 times from an upright position to grasp the side bend action but when they do it automatically becomes part of their swing and they stop coming over the top and slicing.
The underlying psychology is the fact 90% of golfers have no real clue what the moving parts of “pro” level swing look and feel like, especially the side bend part which is critical to keep the swing path of the target line. Posing them like a pro golfer at the key waypoints and working them slowly between them makes gives their conscious brains a blueprint to follow which with a bit of repetition gets ingrained subconsciously.
Hmm. I can't root for you this week Paddy! Ryder Cup! But if we lose I would still down a few pints with you! Love your tips and innate sense of the golf swing. I was a pretty good tennis player and this tip of yours just added 30 yds to my drive! I was swinging too slow and trying to reach positions. Instead thought low forehand with a quicker tempo and problem solved!
Started golf about 8 months ago... when I first started, I was slicing the ball like crazy.
I've since taken lessons and am hitting slight draws, but I've lost about 30 yards of distance on my 7 iron. Will have to try some of the things in this video! Thanks!
@@dcx45 Draws usually get more distance than fades/slices I thought? Accuracy is still key, though.
Brilliant!
Great instruction! Thank you. I would like to learn face control the most efficient way. Again, outstanding channel👍👍👍
Awesome, thanks Paddy
BRILLIANT THNX PADDY
Oh! Oops you answered my ? before I watched the end of the video! Feel where the club head is! If it is too light I have no clue where it is in the swing and I'm playing golf roulette! Heavy and I know where it is I can hit straight, fades, and draws!!!!!
Great tip, I'm starting to free up my driver swing finally, used to be afraid to move athletically.
Would love some insight into hitting hybrids well, as I'm just not a good long iron player.
Wow, best ever video :)
Paddy, could you show how to transition into your down swing? How do you get your arms to fall into the slot? Do you focus more on right or left arm? What’s the best way to “feel” this?
And, how to stop picking the ball and learn to make a divot with your irons?
its a shame you didn't bring a hurley, same concepts nonetheless ,probably the best lesson ever for athletes from other sports
Best thnx Paddy
Thank you very very much!!!! I'm good ping pong and table tennis player and I had been wondering for years why i can't play good golf , now I get it!!!!
in tennis the hands need to be active and finessed, whereas in golf I believe they need to be subdued. PH is careful to say it is a flat forehand, off a low ball, that is analogous to the golf swing, which is rarely done (low balls usually we go for spin).
So my tennis swing is the same as my golf swing. Great, now I know I stuck at tennis too!
Just watched you hit tee shot in BMW play well my friend
Padraig in relation to hurling - if you play hurling can the way you swing the hurl at the sliotar have any similarities to the golf swing or does the fact the ball is moving most of the time go against you as well as the fact you hold the hurley with the right hand above left. Thanks
Playing with the wind.
Also side wind Lh Rh wind.
Playing in to the wind face on and Lh rh wind.

You are so right …i lost 1.5 years in golf because i tried to ignore my tennis background...unfortunately….
I swing baseball bat lefty .... And use right hand for tennis forehand. For golf im best swinging left handed for irons. And right banded for driver. I really struggle with left handed driver. Any idea why???
Proper alignment would be nice
I agree. Sometimes when I use alignment sticks and look at target it feels like I am aimed right.. Is there a trick to see the line knowing your lined up correct?
How about maintaining spine angle in all 3 sports? How critical is in tennis and baseball?
How do you get the low point of your swing in front of the ball?
Have a big problem I am a lefty but my dominated hand is my Wright hand don't know what to do pls help me
is the golf swing powered by the trail arm/hand, the front or both? As a RH player it sometime seems like I generate uncontrolled speed with my trail (R) hand and hit it fat. What's right?
By the way it looks like you have a nice forehand! 🎾
This explains why all the best golfers at my club are tennis players
While There is some truth to comparison with tennis however in golf you always have two hands on the handle which on a low shot in tennis you never would. Its not that simple but I agree we should be more athletic.
Two handed forehand in tennis up the line not cross court?
nice blog, but why do some teachers say its like skipping a rock, then do a rolling release.you would not do that when skipping a rock ? not talking about you
Cricket batting is difficult to transfer to golf. Wrists and elbows sabotage good golf technique.........
Only if they are improperly used for golf, cricket is so often reliant on a 'holding off' type stroke rather than a full release, which makes it more difficult for us mere mortals that don't have tour speed...🙄
I think tennis and baseball are harder because the ball is coming at you and you have to guess where it will be. The golf ball is stationary until you hit it.
Sounds like you haven't played much golf lol
@@IggyInBurnaby Onthe contrary, I play 2-3 times a week.
This explanation is more simpler and easier to undesrtand, untill you see Rafa Nadals drive off the tee :D But he is a very good golfer though :)
I can imagine you coaching me. You'd probably want to hit me with the bat :)
Here's a deal Padraig, I'll help you with your table-tennis, if you help me with my golf....😊
Cmon Europe.... 🇪🇺🇨🇮
Almost seems criminal golf is taught any other way than this
Padraig Harrington
Thanks a lot, thanks for costing us the Ryder Cup, over your, your poor picks. Ridiculous from you.
Should have been Rose in the team. Ryder Cup team, Rose tremendous player.
Should have been Rose instead of Lowry.
And you, You/Harrington let the whole of Europe down by not picking Rose (Harrington)
Give it a rest mate
Stabilis88
Your the one who needs to give it a rest/troll mate.
Here’s a proper reply back.
I Stabilies88 apologise on here for being a big and utter stupid idiot troll, I Stabilies88 shouldn’t be a troll and apologise over it.
I Stabilies88 100% agree with EJ James very poor pick from Harrington, and Rose should have been picked instead of Lowry.
And you, you Stabilies88 should thank me for it, doing a proper reply back, unlike your troll reply.
On your behalf, mate.
So give it a rest, mate you troll.
What a weird kid....
