  • 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👏

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @beimsteiner
    @beimsteiner 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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!

    This is perhaps the best tennis lesson I have ever had, thanks Paddy!

    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 👏🏽👏🏽

    Beautifully explained. I have been wondering what this was about for last 10 years!

    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!

    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! :)

    This is by far the best golf instruction video I've seen. Great to see this type of detail and covering what doesn't work is really helpful

    Unbelievable. It is the most clear and instructive video that I could have hoped for. Well done!

    Great video on hip movement- simple and yet sophisticated.

  • @2410manchester

    By far the best explanation for how the pelvis/hips work through the swing I’ve seen. Excellent teaching style as well

  • @stevenharness2283
    @stevenharness2283 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Many thanks. I don't think anyone has ever explained this aspect of the golf swing as well as this.

    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 superb explanation of hip and pelvis turn, Padraig.
    I thoroughly enjoy your golf tips and they've helped me enjoy the game more than ever. I'm in my 50s but with your tips it just proves you're never too old to learn! 👍

    Can't thank you enough for this video. The descriptions of where you feel pressure, the pinch and others is amazing. Far better than any other instruction I've seen on the pelvis. It's the only thing that has helped with early extension.

  • @bradleydanyluk775

    That was such a great lesson for helping me to better understand how the hips and lower body turn during the swing. I’ve been working on this very move since last year. For years I’ve been sliding my hips, instead of rotating them. This video does a great job of clearly explaining how to turn properly. WELL DONE!
