HOW TO CLEAR YOUR HIPS/PELVIS IN THE GOLF SWING | Paddy's Golf Tip #24 | Padraig Harrington

- Last year, I published a video which focused on how the hips and pelvis function in the golf swing. This is a topic which I'm keen to spend time working on and speaking about, so this is an extension to the previous video. Take a listen as I dive deeper into the details and elaborate on key points.

I’ve played golf for 50 yrs and this is the 1st time I’ve heard a coach explain the hip movement in such easy terms that everybody can understand. A great player and now a great coach👏
Amazingly detailed yet simple explanation of how the hips move in the golf swing!
Brilliant
Padreig
Thank you four the lessons. 66 yrs old And retired. Time to start playing again. My irons strike well, and i have a good understanding of my turn. My irons leak 10 yds early.
Help

This internal rotation of the right hip on take away and down swing external! I’ve done it just the other way and struggled quit a lot. This tip is huge!
The number of times I’ve returned to this video when my golf swing goes awry doesn’t bear counting. Thank you Paddy just excellent.
Can’t believe I just got this lesson for free. Very informative. Thank you sir
Paddy is a great representative for us here in Ireland. Sincere and good humored yet steely when it comes to competition. Keep up the good work Paddy 👍☘
It's just amazing that someone at your level and accomplishments is taking the time to make these videos for us normies :) Thank you so much sir!
Very true
Mlm
Agreed. He has a reputation of being someone who constantly changes and tweaks his own swing so I guess it's not surprising that he'd enjoy doing this kind of instructional video.
agreed! Surprised he hasn't got more then 92k subscribers.
It's called residual income from TH-cam. He is a businessman after all...
Trust me. After playing the game for 25 years and countless lessons, this video and Harrington's advice on how to clear your hips/lower body and turn up/lift to finish is THE key to becoming a very good ball striker and consistent player. This is the key to the golf swing!!! No exaggeration!
Paddy - thank you for sharing what countless pros and so called experts either don't want to or can't tell you
Totally agree..this lower right hip move was game changing
..yeah the average lesson is basically consensual burglary, it’s very disappointing how poor most lessons are, become your own teacher with TH-cam, the only way
100% the key to the swing. Took me 4 lessons for my coach to finally convey this to me in the right way. Went from a 12 to a 5 handicap in 2 months. Effortless power and improved ball striking with this move.
Imagine if everyone’s favorite player took the time to teach their fundamentals to their fans, like Paddy does here. What an example he is to other tour professionals. Thanks Paddy! Keep ‘em coming, sir! We love ‘em!
Awesome instruction from a real pro! Thanks
Amazing! Thanks for clearly breaking down this important aspect of golf which I hv been wondering for ages. As I saw in the TV screen during 2023 Maui Tournament, Coach Pro Paddy hv the highest swing speed and hv overtaken everyone else, truly inspiring to see the stats, and this video for sure contributes tremendously to this result! Much appreciation and more power to you!
You don’t have to imagine anything Paddy should be everyone’s favorite player
I am going to be watching this video over and over. It is unquestionably, for me anyway, the best golf video I've ever seen. Thank you so much!
Agreed!
Definitely
Hear! Hear!
Superb teaching from a very accomplished player. What could be better? Leaves me wanting more!
Every time I watch this I have a greater appreciation. I've gone down some dead end roads trying to figure out what Paddy explains so brilliantly.
His tip to push your right glute under your left completely changed my ball striking. That motion to release the hips added so much consistency to my shot.
100% that move has changed my game
Instruction from the best 50+ golfer on the planet. Recent Senior US Open victory confirms that. Now like the great sportsman/ champion that he is, he is giving back !!!
Paddy’s Golf tip: “No BS Golf tip” could be the description for this channel, knowledge combine with enthusiasm, absolute great 👍
I wish I could work alongside this gentlemen for a week or two. Would be a dream come true!
..yes I think “absolute earnest honesty and passion” would be Padraig’s shining traits in these lessons, very heart warming and inspiring
It's a pleasure listening to a guy who actually earned a living PLAYING golf, thanks Paddy for taking the time.
This is one of the most complete and excellent descriptions of hip motion and banking. Thanks!
Just curious. Am I doing it wrong if I feel like my jewels are being crush on the follow through to get your knees touching?
@@gunnygt49 Sounds to me like you are doing it right!
@@gunnygt49 yes golf is definitely a ball ache to get right.
Paddy rules….unlike all these TH-cam scavengers who promise you Longer, Straighter BOMBS off the tee for just $49 a month…..Paddy just tells you how it works and has the pedigree that gives him genuine cred!
I have downloaded many videos from many golf instructors. But after getting this video, I think just with this video, all my golf swing problems are solved. Then I deleted 95% of the other videos👍👍👍
The idea of shoving my right hip under my left is the first time I've ever been able to change how my hips move through the golf swing. Many thanks!
This is already the best golf channel. No one is even close.
I have watched so many youtube videos on early extension. There are 100’s of them from ‘coaches’. Paddy doesn’t even know/ use the term ‘early extension’, but this is the most compelling and easily understood video of the issue. So good. He really brings home the value of a Player Coach who has no objective rather than help. Incredible. Thanks so much.
Well his other objective is in the bottom left corner of the video almost the whole time. It’s WILSON plug. And of it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t have this fantastic lesson series from one of the greatest golfers of all times.
@@NiceBlue101 So what? I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and didn't think twice about the bag. Almost all pros plug their sponsors, and it rarely detracts from the content being shared. This was gold!
Let me know how the early extension goes for you, I can't stand myself doing it anymore.
Legit best golf instruction video I’ve ever seen in regards to not only showing the correct movements but describing what to feel while doing it. Beautiful
totally agree - been playing golf for over 30 years (50's now) and has added 40 yards on to my drives
I learned more in 17 minutes then I have in 18 years good work Paddy!
yes me to the man is awesome
U take private lessons?
What I love about this lesson is how Paddy explains the 'why' of these movements. I can't recall hearing an instructor say that you need to get the right hip higher because it facilitates the weight shift into the front leg. As someone who subscribed to the idea that you need to keep that right knee flex constant throughout the backswing, this video has been a revelation. Much appreciated.
yes you see all these golf videos with tips but never why you have to or why you must or must not or why this or that happens.Hopefully Paddy will start a new trend
How have I not watched this before! I’ve had countless lessons and watched a million coaching videos and none come close to this, all the so called pro coaches who don’t get anywhere close to explanation and detail and here is the legend that is Padraig Harrington giving the best golf lesson ever! Cheers paddy!
What a good man. Taking his precious time to help us with our games…FOR NOTHING!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Paddy one of the few great pros that can teach as well as they can play.
No one has ever explained this in the golf swing. Hogan 5 fundamentals of golf published in 52 for woman. This is teachable
I like how he tells me what I should do, and spends only a little time telling me what not to do. Very straightforward, without a bunch of silly analogies. By describing and showing, over and over, in slightly different ways, makes it easy for me to emulate.
Padraig Harrington is creating the best series of golf instruction videos on the internet (I have watched hundreds). In addition to the exacting clarity of his tutorials, it is Padraig’s joy in golf that sets these videos apart. He has placed the crazy idea in my head that I can break 80!
"Knee flex is criminal" - love it! So much charisma in his teaching- he cares. Best explanation of how hips work that I've ever heard. Make sure you warm up your glutes.
At the risk of being revoltingly sycophantic, our man demonstrates so many fab qualities when he says, "He told me, and I believed it - but it's only now I understand it."
Padraig is a model of gratitude, curiosity, humility, hard work, creativity and balls.
Can you imagine actually standing over a ten footer for the Big One - what a blast that would be :)
Thanks Padraig; for someone trying to get the last few strokes off you're an incredibly articulate coach as well.
You might be really good at playing the game but you're even better at teaching it. Top notch!
I never would have figured this out on my own. Been playing for over 30 years and have always had the worst leg and hip action. I'll try this. Thanks for the tips, Padraig!
Another masterclass. So many bits of gold dust to take away. Brilliant!
63 years old playing off1, had numerous lessons over the years and this is THE BEST explanation and demonstration I have ever seen on the hip/pelvis movement. Thank you!!
This is gold.
Every time I watch it, I learn more. And realize I didn’t do it right .
This video is amazing. No other videos needed, no confusion after watching just great explanation.
The best golf video I’ve ever seen, and I’ve watched thousands. Thank you for explaining the action, and feel so expertly. Very grateful.
This is mastery, manifesting experience of the inside forces and anatomical movements/relationships in the swing. It's like having Jigoro Kano explain a judo hip throw.
Many teachers will show one or two parts of the motion, but they hardly ever connect the pieces for everyone to see at once and show how and why they're linked. Padraig doesn't have the time to do a 500 part series with a little snippet every three days, so here it is, the whole hip/torso shebang, with no ornamentation or distraction.
Hips don't lie!
Always was grateful that Mr. Harrington would support, what is now, the Traveler's Championship, in Cromwell, CT. Not only an outstanding golfer but a very gracious man.
The passion in this teaching is a beautiful thing
Best “feel” explanation of getting hip back in backswing. The internal rotation of back leg really gives a good feel for that movement.
I’m not at all surprised that Harrington is an excellent teacher. This is a very logical, organized, and effective lesson. What an effective communicator. Well done Sir!
..absolutely, good teachers require good verbal skills, always
I just saw Padraig at the Galleri Classic in Rancho Mirage. Man was he impressive. I never knew how tall and strong he is. Old man my foot, that guy crushed the ball down the fairway. He obviously know what his talking about and I don't know why he's taking the time to make these free videos but God bless him. Perhaps he just loves golf so much that he wants to make is more enjoyable for the rest of us. I only which there was a way to thank him personally. I love how he makes it understandable for us duffers and does everything in a practical and enthusiastic way!
At 50 years Padraig, you are not old! Your enthusiasm keeps you going.
You've just saved me hundreds of pounds in golf lessons Padraig. This has worked a treat! Thanks a million.
These videos are phenomenal. Who’d have thought it, online lesson from a triple Major Champion and Order of Merit Winner. Just magic!
This was an awesome video! Thank you. I just kept hoping my wife wasn’t going to look over and ask why I was watching a golfer doing Elvis hip movements 😂
Talk about paying it forward! Thank you Mr. H for passing on your insight. Much appreciate your time and effort.
My pleasure!
Best 17mins of golf instruction ever. Need to find an elevator to practice in, hehe. Thanks Paddy
Paddy, I'm now 62 years old. Started trying to learn golf late in life (mid 20's) and was never able to play much at all over the next 35 or so years, due to work and familial commitments, and financial restrictions as well. I've recently been able to retire and now have the ability to play the game regularly, and so I've taken to really studying the game in every aspect that I can, via videos such as yours here on TH-cam. As a single man, I have a golf mat in my kitchen, which allows me to hit full shots into my living room, into two heavy woolen blankets hanging from a curtain rod. I've found that finding the top position of the backswing (for my body) is easy. It's everything that comes after, that tends to be difficult. Your video here has, I think (I need to take it to the driving range) unlocked the final piece of the puzzle that I was looking for, to get my "timing' just right. Thank you so much for making this video (and others; I'm now a subscriber), to help an entire world of duffers, play better golf. God bless ya' Paddy. Press on and play more great golf! You have a new #1 fan! :)
His sincerity and enthusiasm is terrific
Best internet golf teacher. You are an oasis of inspiration
Padraig Harrington has always been cutting edge in his thinking and now in his teaching. He probably could have win more than three majors if he hadn't experimented so much. Or maybe that's why he won three majors! Experimentation within sound fundamentals make this great game even more fun. Now that he's on the Champions Tour, Paddy is tearing it up with plus 180 ball speed. Speed training and sound technique are the Golden ticket for every player. Nobody currently playing golf knows more about the swing than Padraig Harrington. Simple as that. Simple as his instuction.
Lot of respect for you Paddy! I'm on my way to 66. Last year I started prepping for retirement golf. I had not played regularly for years. Experimented and do the exact opposite of what you say. I actually bend my knees at address, then initiate my swing by bending my right leg more. The whole swing is leg driven. I play off the regular tees, have since I started playing regularly beaten my longest drives ever on many holes and succeed in breaking 80 now and then. I thought I must look odd but see many pros addressing the ball with bended knees and then bending the right more in the backswing. You preach what I suppose is textbook but there are many odd balls out there who do ok. Keep up the good work!
You did a fantastic job of explaining an incredibly complicated anatomical movement, thankyou
That is hands down the best lesson for the hips I’ve seen! Excellent Paddy
Did he say you put your hands down for the hip turn? Think I missed that…
Why does nobody explain pelvic movement like this?? I’ve been through so many teachers and tried so many things to get rid of my early extension. I’ve never heard it explained like this. This has helped me SO much! Thank you Padraig! I’m only listening to your swing advice from now on.
This is perhaps the best tennis lesson I have ever had, thanks Paddy!
Many thanks Padraig for sharing. Finally I'm starting to understand on how to move my hips.
Wow Paddy, so nice to have a major champion share tour pro instruction. Love all the detail. The time you've taken to deliver all this wonderful help, is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you coach Harrington! You're a really nice guy and I'm sure Arnold Palmer had you in mind when he spoke about being a gentleman and giving back to the game!
Absolutely THE best explanation for forward rotation! Right hip going under.
Paddy, thank you for taking the time to help us mere mortals with your teaching and tips, much appreciated
What a teacher. Broke it down so easily. Instead of telling me how, you showed me how. Thank you, Padraig.
You show so much passion/enthusiasm together with such skill... very much appreciate you giving these lessons!
Padraig is the absolute best!
Such genuine passion in every moment of explanation. As an educator myself it’s attention to detail, an ability to identify the key points and clearly communicate them that is everything. Along with knowing typical pitfalls we would like to steer clear of. Paddy is the epitome of an educator. He teaches golf as well as any educator teaches anything!
I can’t believe I have a 3 time major champion out on the range with me.
Thank you Paddy!!!
Best explanation of the hips in the golf swing that I've ever seen!!
It’s taken me a long time to truly understand this video (also had to correct some misconceptions that wouldn’t allow for this hip movement). This is one hell of a contribution to golf education from a pro and gentlemen. Amazing!
Excellent video Padraig ! This thoroughly explains how the motor of the golf swing should work ! Best video ever !!!
More useful information in this one video than 99% of youtube golf vidoes combined.
These videos are great because they explain what’s happening behind the visual impression you see. For example, the left leg is straightened because the body has raised up, not the body is raised up because the left leg has straightened. Tanks, Paddy!
This is the best explanation for how the hips and pelvis work in the swing.
This is by far the best explanation of how the hips move during the swing on TH-cam. All these other “Pros” tell you to do the opposite of how he describes it. He also explains it in an easy to understand way along with what you should be thinking and feeling. Thanks Paddy 👏🏽👏🏽
I would like to echo Brian's comment just below. I have played for over 50 years off 4 or 5 handicap for almost all of it and have never heard this level of clear analysis of what we should be trying to do (and WHY) with the hips, hip flexors, glutes, the right leg on the way back and on the way down, the left leg through impact and WHY you shouldn't just straighten the left leg at impact in an attempt to look like a good player .....unless you want a very sore back and knee surgery! Also his explanation of the hips staying CONNECTED to the upper body, but LEADING the upper on the downswing, while not racing so far ahead that they are completely disconnected is super-helpful. This is one of the great TH-cam golf gems. Brilliant Padraig, thank you.
After watched your earlier how body moves video, I have already improved my golf swing a lot. Thanks for this more detailed video.
Congratulations on your second place finish this week Paddy!!!
Brilliant video. I had no idea Paddy was such a good teacher. Not only the how but the why. Great teachers can distill down to the critical elements to simply and demystify complex learning. I have watched thousands of golf videos and I. My opinion this is one of the best
Thanks for filming these. Great to get confident context from such a seasoned and skilled source.
Teach paddy how to play csgo bruh
jordan mfing gilbert getting dialed
The intersection of some of my favorite interests: golf and cs
Mr. Harrington I wanted to just say thank you for all these helpful instructional video's. You sir are a gentleman.
I am blown away by your explanation. Grabbed my 5 iron and I am practicing my hip movement.. you are now my swing coach..thank you for this video I am subscribed..
Paddy is getting more comfortable doing these tutorials on video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
More to come!
I have watched this video many times and helped me tremendously to understand the mystery behind the golf swing. He is the best of best. Thanks . Please have more video on this subject to clarify downswing transition move .
God these videos are SO GOOD...I watch them over and over and are among the best collections of lessons I've ever experienced including personal lessons with various teaching pros. Thank you so much for sharing.....these make a HUGE difference!
WOW!!!!...I 've just learned that I have been trying to straighten my left leg for the wrong reasons.....thanks Paddy!!!!!
Many thanks. I don't think anyone has ever explained this aspect of the golf swing as well as this.
Honestly that is the best description of the pelvis rotation I have ever watched, I’ve never understood it until now thank you so much 👏👏👏👍
This guy is the best really enjoy listening to him teach the swing.
Well done Padraig! Stunned to see you give of your time and express your struggles in this teaching video. Thank you
I’ve never understood this movement and ‘weight transfer’. Too complicated for me. Paddy has just transformed the way I understand the swing, including the shoulders / torso movement. I can’t thank you enough! I’ve only played one round since watching this video (I watch it every day!) and it completely transformed the way I hit the ball - it was like someone else was hitting the ball for me. Pure genius and thank you so much for transforming my game.
I've watched a lot of Golf videos, no one has come close to explaining a proper hip turn like Padraig has, well done sir. 👏
Late to the party just found your channel, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you’re doing with this channel. I always admired you and the way you carried yourself on the course, and this is just the icing on the cake.
Wonderful job this past weekend, Padraig! I appreciate the reasoning you give with each move to complete the motion. Thank you!
It’s one thing when the local pro is giving you a lesson with all the rambling and the repetitive jerking around. It’s quite another with it’s Paddy. Great video.
This is the best simple explanation of how the hips work. Also the best explanation of how to setup the body before you even hold the club. Tks 👏👏👏
Thanks Paddy, excellent tuition from someone who is a proven exponent of golf.
This is the best video (instruction) about clearing your hips "THE RIGHT WAY" I have ever seen, teaches what muscles to use, when to use them to maintain control of your golf swing and protect your back!!! BRILLIANT
Harrington has ACTUALLY done it. Played with the best and beat them. Learning from him feels like its rare diamonds. This is amazing
There are so many gems in this! Absolutely fantastic!
I love the way Padraig, makes golf look easy 😀
I feel so fortunate to get golf lessons from Paddy, been a fan for years and look forward to every video 😊
Better video ever great champion! Providing incredible details! Love it!
Starting using WIlson TRIAD golf balls in some weird sort of way to try to support what Padraig is doing for us hacks here. What a decent guy to share his knowledge. And so cool to see him winning lately also. Must be Karma!
