[PT. 1] YOU'VE GOT TO GET YOUR WRISTS ACTIVE IN THE SWING | Paddy's Golf Tip #8 | Padraig Harrington

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มี.ค. 2021
- It seems that many players have been conned into thinking that an effective, powerful swing results from turning the shoulders or using the body. In actuality, 70% of a player's speed and face control comes from how well they use the wrist.
This is Part 1 of a two-part lesson where I focus on the role that the wrists play during the swing. Be sure to set your notifications and tune in for Part 2, coming later this week.

85% of so called golf instructors selling their junk on TH-cam are teaching less to hardly any hand and wrist action....this is what we call "Old School" or what really works....
Soooo true
Couldn't agree more, I must have spent years trying to smash the ball using big muscles with inconsistent (and tiring!) results, this simple insight has opened my eyes to something that looks so obvious once you've clocked it but can be difficult to fathom if you're not naturally gifted (I'm not).
@@user-ii2lz3sc4gcouldn’t agree more. I returned to golf after a 40 year break. The pro got me twisting so much I did my back in. I’ve now discovered something called ‘easiest swing’. My back is fine and there’s much less effort involved.
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!!
Me too. So simple and so effective.
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.
I love him. He says the opposite to everything which is taught but, it is all correct. Love it 😍
Funny isn't it?
A lesson from a legend. Listen up kids.
As a scratch player Ive watched quite a few of these. What Paddy THINKS he does and what he does are two different things. This one, for example, the moment the smalls muscles and joints (wrists) are focused on, you're screwed. Not good advice. Yes he's a Hall of Famer, but MANY elite golfers can't translate what they're doing properly. "Active" wrists is not a good explanation. I think what he is means is "relaxed wrists" without tension, and let them do what they will do naturally without tension holding them off.
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.
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!
Yeah amazing isn't it. Hit farther with less effort or strain. I can hear the ball whizzing sound off an 8 iron again!
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 TH-cam channel, great content!
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.
Hi Padraig! I love how you started TH-cam 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!
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!👍⛳️🏌🏼♂️🇬🇧 🇮🇪
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.
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.
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.
You're right. I watch and try all the "correct" modern teachers and just get frustrated. Now watch only Paddy and Zen golf.
Great teaching! I love the unedited-ness of the video! Lol! Classic and REAL is Padraig!
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.
Exactly! Messed me up for sure. Lost yardage on all clubs. Better to be athletic than trying to reach for positions that are uncomfortable.
Now I watch players who are built more like I am. 5'9 - 195 lbs. Stocky. None of this left arm straight hands away from the body. Just keep the wrists loose and the arms and shoulders without tension and the ball goes farther with less effort. Just turn a little faster and more with feet,ankle knees and hips. Narrower stance helps too if your hips aren't super flexible.
Many elite players don't flip the wrists though. There is not one way to swing a golf club you just need to choose a method that works best for you
Name one good player that doesn’t let the club head release.
@@johnnybravo9087 you can still release the club head without flipping wrists
Henry Cotton vibes ! Love it Padraig thank you sir !
Grab a tyre (tire) and strengthen those wrists!
Amazing to watch him hit balls! Thank you for showing us mere mortals how to swing a golf club.
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 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!
The bag was listening so attentively and actually followed the word 'FLIP'. LOL Congrats on the Senior Cup, Paddy.
Watched this and just went and hit the best bucket of balls ever. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos!!! Cheers from Germany, Greg
Padraig Harrington,thankyou for your time and amazing tutorials. If your videos aren’t helping to improve our game then nothing will!
Paddy you got a mic! Sounds great!
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.
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
What more can you ask for..Major champion world class golf instruction backed by lounge cocktail piano 🎹..Well done Paddy...more please!
This is a fantastic tip. I practiced this yesterday with fantastic result. I hit the ball much better and could control the ball flight wich is rare for me. What isn’t mentioned in this tip is that the ball is placed differently when hitting draw and fade. I learn so much and I love your tips, thanks.
This video is GOLD!!! He dispels several myths and gives all of us USEFUL information and principles. New long term subscriber.
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 TH-cam, 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...
Another excellent lesson from a golf legend. Thank You
This is gold. Thank you.
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.
Thanks Padraig. Enjoying & learning from your videos
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 🏌🏻♂️
Rick Shields asked who is the best you tube golfer. I rest my case my lord 👍👍👍
Very True . Lol by far#1
👍🤣😎
Shiels*
So…the trick is to get the wrists involved? 😂
How do I stop hooking my irons. I hit it good but left 90% of the time.
That was really helpful Padraig, looking forward to trying the faster wrists. Cheers
Thanks again, Padraig!! Your videos are absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting. Greatly appreciated.
Cheers Paddy. A busy man but time to do these is appreciated. 👍
Legend, so simple and so right!!
Great stuff Padraig!
Thanks Paddy. You the man. Love this.
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.
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..
Was your grip too strong before?
Thought about wrists tip on my round today. Direction and distance were great with my irons and pitching. Thanks man. Got the feel back.
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 👏👍
You are the best Paddy.
Love your no nonsense style
Your the man paddy!!! I've always loved your game. Thank you so much for these tips. 💯👍
Love your instruction Padraig. Thanks.
I LOVE... the soothing background music! THANK YOU "Winner of The GOLD MEDAL!"
I like 'Weekend Warrior'...guess that is my new golf shirt then. Thanks Padraig, you're the man !
Simple to the point, no nonsense explanations brilliant Paddy 👍
Fabulous simple straight forward how to do it thanks Paddy 👍
Brilliant thank you , I love the enthusiasm 😀😀
Excellent thanks paddy!!!
Padraig…you have to be one of the most humble tour players!! Thank you for taking the time for us weekend warriors!! Awesome video!!
Simple tutorial from the master! Thanks Paddy👍🏌️♂️
This is the first video of his I've seen. It was GREAT!!!! Paddy, you are a great teacher!!! As well as a great player.
Most mind-blowing video I've watched on TH-cam, right here.
Nice to see that paddys got a nice sense of humor
Thanks Patty enjoyed this video best wishes this year on tour
I love your tips 👍
Thanks for another great video.
Love this tip!! Thanks!!
Thanks Padraig! This was extremely helpful! Can’t wait to try it!
Amazing stuff. Thanks.
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
As first thumb, i’m sure you will send me an autograph !!!😂😉
Padi you are the best teacher hands down!! Congrats on your win last week!! I really enjoy your content. You are a true master with that club in your hands!
One take Harrington!!! Love it. Dude is awesome !!!
love paddies videos he's awesome tried just wrists action and it does work well think too many weekenders don't use them at all I was one.
The movement of wrists for speed works.. just started 6 weeks ago.. such a difference
Learning from a legend. What's not to love?
Simple and straight forward, never confusing💓💓
Thank you and Thank you. These one take Paddy vid tips are awesome!!!
Thank you Padraig. Been struggling with my game this year and been practicing really hard and having lessons to get out of my slump. This 10 minute video is brilliant. I was striping it at the range today.
Excellent teacher and thanks for posting. This shows us some of the subtleties of the game that can save shots on the course. This is stuff you don't learn when you go for a quick fix from your local pro.
Now world class on TH-cam, 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.👍👍👍
I love these videos, some great insights for us hackers from a great golfing mind.
Excellent tutorial
Following this advice made a significant improvement in both my irons and woods. It also helped me hitting draws and cuts. Thank you Padraig for making the video.
Paddy is an excellent instructor.
Pure class Padraig, keep up da good work
Wonderful tips PH.
Tried it today. It works. Thank you!
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.
Who else wants to see the top TH-cam golfers in their own tournament sponsored by TH-cam. They have to make a cut, get a trophy, and money win money for a cause?
Paddy,
Thank you!!! You are making golf fun again!!!
One take!!! So awesome.
Thank you for this video! Going back to using my hands as a more active part of my swing made a huge difference in length and timing.
Hi padraig. Got to say your communication skills are just brilliant.
Great video great advice and humour along the way. Many thanks.
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 ,
Brilliant tips Padraig. Will be trying this out on range tomorrow.
Padraig is an amazing teacher.
Great release video!! Thx man!
Great video. Great sense of humor!
Excellent info with no BS. 👍
You'll be gold!!! These vids are gold!!!
