INCREASING SPEED IN THE GOLF SWING | Paddy's Golf Tip #13 | Padraig Harrington.

- One of my favorite topics to discuss is speed in the golf swing. Increasing speed in the swing requires a player to focus on specific areas including: length of backswing, the wrists and arms, body mechanics and footwork.

Padraig is such a top guy. How many other pros would take the time to share such great info with amateurs like us for free!
Phil for one has great videos
Phil doesnt tell you his actual secrets though. He gives cookie cutter jargon.
These are 100% gems from Padraig!
@@jacobr4558 hear hear...
@@jacobr4558 agree! Same with sir Nick Faldo.. he has lots of content also but nothing like Paddy here where he really is giving us the real information..
Nick has a book full of everything you need to work on, I’m sure based on his work with Leadbetter. Worth a read.
This is some of the best advice on RUclips. Listen to a guy who knows what he is talking about. He has done it. My personal experience matches exactly what he is saying, most of the speed comes from the arms and wrists. So many people try to get speed from the body and turn it is such bad advice. Thanks Paddy. Your passion shows through in your videos. Hope to see a lot more from you.
Padraig, I've leant more from your lessons here on you tube than any of the youtube pros for the last 12 years. These are awesome tips and a lot of them are either opposite or very different from the other "stuff". Ill be getting a swing speed monitor asap, and trying different swings for sure. Thanks Padraig and good luck with the Ryder cup.
Well said
only having 56k subscribers is criminal, the information he provides is immensely beneficial. I’ve been taking lessons for about 1.5 years and then information he gives is worth 10x what those lessons cost. The jump drills have been a game changer, better contact, tight ball flight and easier on the back. Thank you for taking time to do this, hard to not root for Paddy going forward!
Which tip has the jump drills?
Must admit I tried moving my hips faster for years after a lesson but lost control of my ball and really never gained any yardage! Now I only think of throwing my “arms” down like Padraig said and it’s straight and long and feels effortless! I practice your tip on the range of throwing a ball and jumping looks odd but when they see you hitting the driver suddenly they all try it! These tips you are putting out there are awesome, never more relevant then this one about gaining speed! Thanks for the insight and years of experience and hard work!
This is totally going to come in handy when playing a skins game against Eeyore and Piglet.
that ' jumping ' thing at impact didn't work for me AT ALL ! 😂
..but all his other tips are golden.
Padraig...thank you...being a historic golfer...you are also a person who shares their experienced knowledge in these videos...HUGE and very helpful
Thanks for these tips Padraig, I attribute much of my recent progress to your videos. Much appreciated!
Paddycakes you are going to be on all the golf instructors hit list...this is the info they always hold back from us...friggin awesome!!!
So you also think some of the instructors out there are holding information intentionally?
@@nTo-vlog They dont know
Jaz Padraig, I'm exhausted just watching you! Thanks for the effort! I saw you once do an exhibition where you hit balls on the run , must have been 300 meters-amazing stuff!
So nice of Padraig to share these lessons and help us average golfers. 👏🏻 👏🏻
I actually gained speed to 110mph by shortening my backswing similar to John ram. I found it easier to get the in to out path doing that too. I can John Daley it properly with my flex but end up in huge slices as I steepen the club.
Telling people to "rotate your hips faster" is usually horrible advice. Because this will often lead to them either sliding the hips or turn the hips it in a disconnected way. And as Paddy explain, turning your hips is pointless if you lose all the stretch.
The better advice is to focus on how the legs works especially the left leg/knee. Because if you work your legs correctly, then the hips will also fire correctly as a result. So the point is, don't focus on your hips. Focus on your legs and understand how you can use your big leg muscles to create speed. These muscles are by far the strongest your body has. A great example of someone who uses his legs correctly is Jon Rahm. He doesn't have a long backswing but he still hit the ball miles. And he does it by using his big leg muscles.
I’m a 70 y/o beginner and since January have watched hundreds of RUclips instruction videos. Yours (Mr. Harrington) are the most informative, understandable, succinct and overall helpful I have seen. Thank you for putting things together for me! Outstanding.
Glad to help!
Couldn't agree more! I have watched 1,000s of videos from 100s of sources and I have learned more in 1 minute from Padraig. I have also read over 400 📚 and this is REAL information! I cant thank you enough Padraig! You have confirmed so many of my theories and given me real confidence on my path.
Wow probably the best video I've seen on swing speed and I've watched so many videos. Very few talk about arms and wrists. And thank you for debunking some very common myths. I've always been a big fan Padraig, and now I see you're a great teacher as well.
AMAZING! SIMPLY AMAZING PADDY ! UR a natural teacher ! Thanks U !
These lessons are by far the best! He explains so well!

Thank you, Padraig. I love all of your videos.
Great video Paddy. There's a lot to work with. I'm a 61yo golfer who's trying to keep/gain distance. Perfect timing to get these tips. I'll be working on it next time I hit the range! Cheers
Thanks Paddy for such good advice. It’s free and comes from one who has won majors. Your sincerity and intensity in transmitting your know how really come through in your videos. You’ve saved so many of us dozens of frustrating and ultimately useless golf lessons.
The BEST advice I’ve seen from any golf instruction video. Padraig levels his advice to benefit the average golfer, keeps it simple and focuses on the elements the weekend golfer can change. Bravo sir.
Padraig, I have had the opportunity to speak to professional or elite level athletes in other sports and most could not explain how they do what they do.
Really appreciate the insights from a successful professional such as yourself.
If I may, would like your opinion on why some athletes win while others who seemingly are as talented do not.
That might be an interesting topic to cover.
Well done on the video.
Brilliant keep them coming!👍
Please keep showing what we should be doing, not what we should not be doing!
Padraig, quick hands thrown down early in the downswing before we expode up is a fantastic sequence. You can also see it in Rorys swing.Having watched your video yesterday i took the drill to the driving range and the improved distance and penetration in ball flight was dramatic.Why isnt this taught to amateurs as a fundamental by your average teaching pro? I owe you bigtime Mr Harrington.Thankyou so much Paddy. Robbie Sprague.
Great advice..thanks for taking the time Paddy..appreciate it👍🇬🇧⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Wow, this is a nice video! I tried some things from the video. I slowed a little bit down, made the backswing shorter and tried to accelerate throughout the downswing. My average swing speed increased from 103 to 109 mph. In addittion, the shot went straighter :-) Thanks for these tips!!
Thank you for the sharing of your experience as a great champion
Very appreciated
Have a nice day
Whenever I try to gain Speed I end up cupping my wrist ending in a massive push slice. I will most certaily start using the shorter swing thought, could be my answer. Thankyou Padraig for these great tips.
I really would like to know your swing thoughts. .with iron, wedges, and driver. Like what things do you think about/focus one. What is the golf swing to you? What does the golf swing feel like to you? And, something most important to me for the last several months is.. How do you get your right elbow/arm in position at impact? With the right elbow being somewhat in front of the right pocket, and your elbow crease facing forward. Like, do you feel like the right arm is moving just up and then down led by the elbow? Or, is it more of downwards and forwards like you were skipping a rock?
You're the best Paddy. A no-nonsense kind of guy. Very generous, thanks for sharing your tips!
I am back again to say Thank YOU Thank YOU Thank YOU AGAIN 👍.
"body separation " has never done anything for me in term of adding speed and distance. Never learn to use the core to power the swing.
Now with hip leading the swing while staying connected to body change alot of things for me - feeling of the core firing and need to maintain that stretch in the leading side during the swing. Definitely added distance, striking sounded much more solid. I dont know how much more distance since balls were flying left and right with a huge curve but 2 days on the range showing balls landed and rolled to corners i have never reached before.
many possitive things i feel but not sure how to word them.
will follow up when i figured out how to fly the ball a bit straighter.
Lord Harrington of the swing, Thank YOU sir.
Paddy thanks for your advice. You good sir are amazing at explaining and giving advice. Really appreciate the amazing advice. After watching all your videos when I hear your name on TV I always pay attention to you and tell my friends about you and your RUclips advice.
13:36 - Paddy absolutely nailed it here. Moving the hip/pelvis completely independent from the torso is guaranteed to lose speed. Once that stretch is lost it's over. Having excellent X-Factor is very important, the stretch created near change of direction must be maintained at least for a while with everything still connected. The move toward the target in the backswing, and the subsequent change of direction, will create an X-Factor stretch, which in turn creates lag both in the wrists and club shaft! 14:08 - The Sammy Snead hip/pelvis move, everyone should learn it!
Thanks Padraig. This is fantastic stuff!!
That’s got to be one of the best driver tuitions on the internet if not THE best . And I’ve watched quite a few believe me . Well done Padraig . .
Quite possibly the best video I have ever watched on improving speed. Thank you, Paddy, for sharing a lifetime of experience!
Another great video - it would be helpful if you could do a video on tips/drills to prevent a steep downswing which most amateur golfers tend to suffer from, cheers 🍻
Goodman podge you've cut 15 shots off my game keep the videos coming. 🇮🇪❤
Owl Paddy is a legend, use to love cheering him on in the tour. Always made me feel proud to be Irish, can't think of any pros doing this to help people to improve their game. So many wee tips IV learnt here👌😉 the main man Paddy
great stuff ...stream of consciousness golf instruction :-)
The other day I played golf with a British guy (in Orlando, FL) who mentioned this channel. I am soo happy that I came to see it. These are very good tips that you don't hear very often, at least in US where most of the teacher are obsessed with the hips.....LOL Padraig very well done!! Thank you!! I already ordered my swing monitor for a bit less that 200 U$, I don't know why I never did it before!! I am still playing a single fig handicap but I am 49 and loosing some distance so I really needed these tips :-)
Sending lots of love from Transylvania!
Watching all your posts; thank you
Paddy I still can’t believe all these great tips from a MAJOR winner is free. I keep looking out for a bill hahahaha. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
John Rham and Matt Wolf are great examples of short to long...... super fast. But remember, these are incredibly strong , flexible athletes!
Hogan ‘distance is sometimes a factor but rarely the issue’.
Absolutely fantastic. Busting myths and focus on the right things. Thank you!
I’m so grateful for these videos Padraig. You are so generous with this knowledge. Thank you.
I have been playing golf for around 10 years, my handicap is now 7 & I’ve never fully understood the angles on this part of the swing along with hip rotation you covered in another video. I and along with many golfers suffer with early extension and flipping the club. For me these are the 2 best videos i have ever watched on golf, (& I’ve watched a lot). Best of all u know I can trust the content as it’s from a PGATour legend. Thank you so much for taking the time to make all your videos. True gentleman and I’ll say it again LEGEND.
Padraig - you really are a wonderfully patient and gifted teacher. What a delight. Thanks.
Thanks Paddy I ordered insert for golf shoes love em great tip
He seems to be using his wrist in his driver swing a lot more than many people
Same concept (but with less effort) for iron shots?
Great stuff Padraig! It's about time a real high caliber tour pro had an honest conversation about hitter the ball further than these magazines that say turn your hips faster to hit 50 yards longer nonsense. Loving all the video's keep it up its pure gold.
What's so good about your videos, you don't have to think whether it's right or wrong. No doubts. Because it is you, who's giving the advise. Greatly appreciated!!
Thanks a ton, these are super helpful. Can you please do a video on aim and alignment if possible?
This is surely one of the best golf driver tips ever. Thanks paddy I thought this but was told I was mad.
Excellent information, thank you so much Paddy.
Best coach by a long way! Puts it in a way that just makes so much sense. Thank you Paddy
Always learn so much from Padraig's videos. Extremely valuable.
This is excellent instruction on this channel - Padraig has developed his swing and learned a lot which is a blessing for us mere mortals golf
I saw Padraig practising short speed-swings with a 5-wood in 2008 on the driving range at the Abu Dhabi championship. It was amazing. What an hard-working guy.
This makes a whole lot of sense now after my last lesson. I was under the impression that when my coach was telling me to make a faster turn he meant fire my hips faster, which was always a loss of speed for me. He corrected me by getting me to feel that stretch and then turn my shoulders faster, which instantly added a whole lot of distance without too much more effort, actually less effort. I like your explanation better though, so thanks!
Lexi Thompson is a good that she jumps on impact.
Cheers Padraig get practicing boy ,good luck in the open my moneys on you.
I’ll be 64 in December. I played golf in my 20’s and 30’s, not very well. Basically, if I broke 100 I treated myself to a beverage of my choice. My youngest son started playing golf back in March and asked me to join him. My first time out at the range I beat the hell out of my body. I’ve given myself a year to find my swing. I’ve went through, probably ever rabbit hole on RUclips, and there are a lot of good instructors out there. I bought a course. None of them really gave me the, ah ha moments, I’ve been looking for, until now. Prior to stumbling upon Mr. Harrington, I was hitting my driver ~200 yards. After your no nonsense, layman terms videos I’m hitting my driver ~286. I’m blessed, as far as golf is concerned to have stumbled across your instructions. Thank you so much for doing these. Your video on green reading is pure gold. Thank you.
Thanks very much, John Travolta
new camera?
These videos are brilliant, Padraig. Just had my best ball striking round ever off the tees thanks to ideas gleaned from you videos. Unfortunately I also had my worst round ever on the greens, so I need you to do a putting video for us, please!
Putting is all FEEL... and MOST IMPORTANTLY... A PUTTER that COMPLETES --->> YOUR STROKE!!
Quality information as usual Paddy, thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
brilliant...short swing is the thing
Awesome stuff Padraig, really appreciate this video
great insight by one of the greatest ever... can't wait to put it into my practice routines.
Comparing your instruction, Paddy, to Martin Chuck's in person lessons is like comparing a four star, Michelin rated restaurant to a hot dog stand. That said, Chuck did a good job selling & designing his "Tour Striker" golf clubs. His golf school was pretty useless, but he also sells that aid which helps guys like me regulate their swing plane. So, as bad an instructor as he is, he's a good training aid designer & salesman. So, chartered accountant/golf pro, design a useful golf training tool & sell it. Your ideas should be as good as Chuck's or Nowiki's because you've won on the PGA Tour, whereas they flopped. If your golf aid is as good as Nowiki's "Impact Snap", or Martin Chuck's "Tour Striker" 5, 7, 8, & wedge clubs, you might make as much money as they do with their golf gizmos. Plus, your web sites would get a lot more hits.
Avalanche of golden nuggets here.
Paddys a great instructor. I've been playing golf for 30 years. Never had a lesson. Low handicap. But his hip rotation tip video was great. Made me re-examine my swing.
Thanks Paddy looking forward to part 2!
I love how out of breath he is at the end, the desire and effort he’s putting in to help us mere amateurs is amazing to see. Truly giving back to the game!
absolutely world class, criminal how low subs are, I guess golfers want the old razzmatazz and not a true golf clinic!
Thanks Padraig.
Ty you Sir. I did some speed drills tonight. With driver. I loosened up and was able to have alot of balls with 270+ Carry. And actually staid pretty good in fairway. Had a couple of drifty fades. Now for me I need two knee replacements and I have 3 disc missing in my lower back. So ty very much. Great info and we'll appreciated
At the very beginning of the video, you said that increased club head speed comes from a longer follow through, than a back swing. But you didn't speak on that point at all anywhere in the video. It would have been nice to see how and where a player's club should be after impact.
It's just a jump to the left.....
To think, I thought it was the Guinness that gave you the powerful swing and charming smile.
Best video at all. Love that you explain your feelings. EUREKA
I am now 51. I can only hit about 20 full on drivers before my right back hip internal muscles/cartilage just inflame up.
You're an awesome teacher imo
I thought Paddy took lessons from George Gankas...he teaches all hips and legs work with no arms.
Waiting for tips on scoring clubs specially wedges..... Followed by mental tips for a competitive golf round
I have gained 10 miles an hour of ball speed by pushing has hard as I can into the ground with my left foot. It works, this is great stuff! :). Thanks Mr Harrington.
Very honest, straight forward, realistic instruction.. Thank you so much. So, does the swing weight of a driver make any appreciable difference in the speed I can generate? I have two drivers; one with a SW of C-0 and the other C-8. Thanks
Wow! Such humility and passion along with wisdom equals to perfect teacher. This is the way you perfect your trade and skill, it's by work ethic and perseverance. It's not how much you work, it's what you know what you need to correct and move forward.
To be one of the best in the world I can’t imagine. Yet I feel like I’m having a good conversation with a friend. Neat!
@Padraig - Can you do a video explaining how the hips (center of body) actually move towards the target during the backswing? I notice you do it, as most pros do, but amateurs usually move too late towards the target, in the downswing.
I just found his this channel. What a blessing 👊 thank you. Nothing like having a pro give advise on things
Absolutely love all of these. 7 hc and am learning something in every video!
Excellent tips Padraig, well done.
Fantastic explanation. I can now feel the stretch. Effortless power. Brilliant. 👍👍👍
I can't thank you enough Mr Harrington I really really appreciated for making the videos. I does worked by practicing more and actually playing. I wished I have seen your channel years ago I was contemplating of giving up this game due to not improving my game. You've giving me hope again.
How many weekend warriors pulling muscles at the range after watching this
Nice! Thanks
You are the man, Padraig, thanks for the lessons, amazing.
