HOW TO GRIP YOUR GOLF CLUB CORRECTLY | Paddy's Golf Tip #33 | Padraig Harrington

- Having the correct grip is the most important element of the golf swing as it is the only thing that attaches the player to the club face and allows the hands and wrists to function properly. I've previously released a "Paddy's Golf Tips" video to discuss the grip, but given some of the more recent feedback I've received to revisit the topic, I felt it was time to release a new video to focus more deeply on the topic.

It all starts with the grip. Love the new nuances that I learned. Thank you Padraig! My wife and I love your channel. You bring a new perspective.
Double finger over lap. It works on the driver swing wow. Laughed my head off when i first tried it. The ball was smashed, again and again, and again. On the fairway. Best driver shot tip ever for me. 🎉
Have you used it with hybrids or irons? I get great speed and contact gripping it this way with all clubs now!
As great a golfer that you are, You are equally a great teacher. I'm glad you made the time to do these videos. Thank you!
Thx Paddy, it’s great when a player of your pedigree expounds on the importance of a good grip.
Moving my pinky on to the top of index finger has made a world of difference for me. I used to put it between index and middle fingers but found that created a lot of tension to my grip. Thanks Paddy!
Paddy congrats on all your recent success. I think a great video would be the psychological differences between hitting a 7 iron and a 5 iron.
Thanks a million. It's so satisfying to see you on top form again. Keep it up
Love watching you again after getting some lessons this fall that have deconstructed and overcomplicated and reworked my entire swing (and am now the most inconsistent I've been all year) and here I am watching your videos again thinking "he speaks my language!" and maybe it can simplify things again. Thanks Paddy, congrats on killing it this year! It's a gift having you do these videos. Weekend warriors!!! And a few shots of Fernet!
I have been watching many of your tips on utube. My game had gone up from 8 to 12 in 7 months. I read your tip on the grip and swing changed my grip to be more across the fingers in the right hand and improved my takeaway. Gradually with perseverance and practice my golf has improved. I shot a net 63 thanks to you and feel so confident in my swing now. Getting those fundamentals was key. Thank you for sharing your expertise and down to earth advice.
Cheers for the tips and vid Paddy! I went to the range today, and remembered from this: the right-hand life-line over the left thumb, applied this, and it did wonders for me. Not one slice or hook, and found it easier to compress the golf ball. Grip is so personal, and every golfer suits a different one, but this for me worked perfectly, a golden nugget. Thanks again.
Thanks for another great video. I love the way you present all your methods. Please keep making these videos.
Thank you Padraig for share your time with the grips I can find my fair way now I appreciate you love your channel
This was a game changer for me. I've always been afraid of changing my strong right hand grip (I'm right handed) after about 50 balls of the range. Getting used to, what I can only describe as 'the whip of the club head' balls started to fly high and long and not one pull hook ( Which has been my game destroyer) Thank you sir, and love the channel?❤
Congrats on the win. What a win at the final champions tour event of the year!
Epic video on a grip this, from a decent genuine bloke who’s won so much 👍🏻
You are a great champion and a champion of the game! Thank you!
Best tip ever! Thank you sir.
Thanks so much for all of your lessons and insight. Could you do a video on your process for aim & alignment? Do you use an intermediate target etc?
Go Paddy Go at Phoenix. Wish you all the best!
Great channel Padraig. Thx a lot
Great lesson, I remember Jim Furyk using that double overlap grip, looking to avoid the hook. Those leather Grip Master grips sure are nice!
FairPlay padraig, great content & easily relatable
Excellent review Paddy, good luck today!
Thank you as always sir!
I’ve used the double overlap for comfort for many years and never knew if it was hindering the swing, but it works for me.
Padraig, with your irons, where are you looking at the ball, I found I hit better shots if I look at the front of the ball which helps me take a divot in front of the ball. Just curious where your eyes are looking over the ball.
Great tip padraig any chance doing a video on alignment
Best grip vid out there
nice one Paddy thanks
Legend 💪💪
Thanks I m ex hockey and cricket Player and now with your advice I am a golfer too!!!!
Always glad to help
I’m 42 and picked up golf a month ago and got the Callaway cosco set. After using the double overlap grip I’m hitting 235-310 yards consistently and on the fairways. I was forced to try this grip when I was hitting some balls at the range before my tee time and got a large blister on my right hand. Luckily I discovered Pattie giving driving tips on another channel a day before! WOW! I’m even using it for irons and having the same results, straight, and powerful shots. This guy is incredible!
same here! Works on the irons and hybrids too. Padraig is a genius!
Padraig, I'm curious to know what brand of grips you're using as I don't recognize them, are they Iomic? Haven't seen the black with white tip cap as a club builder. Cheers and thank you so much for all the teaching I share with my students!
“I have a shirt thumb, other people have a long thumb, that’s personal preference.” For some reason that made me chuckle 😂
Just a little more, it was the phrase, something like 'You will never play good golf with a strong grip' that did for me....👍🏻
Nice shootin
This is both a great, and timely, video for me. My grip has been a bit off as of late. One thing o struggle with is the size of the grip. I’m 6’ 4”, and have pretty big hands. I played standard size for years, but have tried jumbo (seemed like I had zero wrist action), and now have midsize plus 4’s. I’m thinking I should go to mid size with no taper. Is there a standard (even ballpark), where the fingertips should touch? Hoping to get some feedback from anyone with knowledge regarding this.
Ps. I wear a XXXL glove (Bionic). XXL in most other brands.
What about grip pressure? Guessing the right hand is gripping lightly, but there is a lot of debate around how firm the left hand should be
There are more and more videos here that emphasize gripping at the base of the fingers on the left hand. The interesting thing is if you refer to Ben Hogan's classic 5 Lessons book he instructs the reader to grip with the palm of the hand. I have used this method for over 40 years, lol! Working on re-training my hands after decades of muscle memory and pre-shot routine.
Jack Nicklaus says palm for left hand, fingers for right
Jack Nicklaus advises that you grip club in palm of left hand Padraig - diagonally across palm ?thoughts ? Literally a video of him advising this ? Fingers feels best to me but i havnt won 19 majors
Thats me, im done for!
Perfect timing! Trying to improve my grip as we speak
Something which makes a HUGE difference is establishing the grip with club in air, shaft vertical with elbows bent vs. resting club on the ground. When gripped in the air the action of lowering it and straightening the arms automatically creates counter-rotation inward of the forearms which stretches the muscles and connective tissues firming up the arm triangle and the grip without any muscular contraction. Hogan compared the feeling to wringing a towel.
Something else Hogan did which makes a difference is when lowered applying enough downward pressure with the pad of the trail hand on the lead one to get the slack out of the lead arm to the same degree the force of the swing pulls it straighter. Do this when lining up to the ball and notice how much the club face moves.😊
Spot on re gripping with club in the - the only way you can grip is in the fingers
👍👍
When I try to place the club in my fingers, my grip becomes super strong for some reason. Any tips?
Paddy, do you change your grip if the ball is further up in your stance such as for driver. I find that I have to take a more neutral grip with driver else by the time my club gets to the ball, my right arm straightens and I lose my angles and the right hand turns over and hit pull hooks. The ball is up by my left toes for driver.
I have this same issue and I solved in the same way. Trying to figure out if that’s okay. I hit clean golf shots by doing that but What I end up struggling with is since I change my grip for certain clubs I cant hit it where I am aiming, I hit it left and right more.
I'm sure on Jack Nicklaus' video he said left hand more across the palm, right hand more in the fingers. Everyone seems to have their own way
Also Hank Haney changed tigers grip in the palm of left hand as well. I guess there is more than one way to skin a cat
💪
I slice everything with a neutral grip. Strong for me. None of that bowing the left wrist required.
Fulcrum and Input force. Then you will grip it correctly just by intuition. Don’t change those rules and your clubhead (the output) will turn in to a monster.
When I grip it in my fingers like that it just works it's way back into my palm as I waggle : ( never been able to keep it there
Interesting… Furyk has used a double overlap pretty much his whole career
Why is strong right hand grip allegedly so detrimental vs you are OK with too weak of right hand?
From watching this I can guess that Padraig is not a fan of larger grips.
Excellent information. Nothing better than hearing this from someone who has been on the tour. Absolute gold in all of these videos.
Would you be able to do something on the start of the downswing and drills or the feels for the separation of the left shoulder from the chin. As I have got older I have started to move my head left in the downswing. I somehow seem to save it with timing and hand, but as the clubs get longer it gets more difficult to control. 🙏
Love the Dublin accent , little tums . My favorite band is a Dublin band THIN LIZZY or how Paddy would say TIN LIZZY .
I tink I put my tums on the club to weak .
Appreciate the video, although I think it would be even better if you slow way down, very slow, with a extreme closeup of your hands, painfully slow, extreme closeup. Of the hands, so slow and so close, that I can see the dirt under your nails. My question has to do with the right hand, and where exactly it fits on the shaft, is it at the tip of the fingers, or are you pushing with the the part of the palm, near the base of the fingers, typically the area that has callouses from ordinary work? Part of the problem is I appreciate your description, but I'm not even sure my grips are the right size, under my right hand, so I've got a lot of ways too go wrong. Thanks for all the great videos.
you're donefur
8 minutes for a 1 minute lesson
Brysons would be considered bad grip by you but he out drives you by 100 yards and will win more majors than you. Just share your technique but no need to put down others who don't use your technique
