[PT. 1] YOU'VE GOT TO GET YOUR WRISTS ACTIVE IN THE SWING | Paddy's Golf Tip #8 | Padraig Harrington
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- 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.

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!
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.
One take Harrington!!! Love it. Dude is awesome !!!
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.
Thought about wrists tip on my round today. Direction and distance were great with my irons and pitching. Thanks man. Got the feel back.
Hi Padraig! I love how you started UA-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!
Great demonstration of the use of the wrists. I used to use them more the way you explained and could hit an acceptable distance. Now I notice I am not hinging them at the top of the swing. Tried your drill of consecutive swings with 5 balls lined up. This frees up the wrists. Excellent thank you. Got some power back.I was trying to extend my hands farther away from my body at the top but it doesn't feel smooth or natural. Too much strain and becomes unathletic.
85% of so called golf instructors selling their junk on UA-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).
@@DavidBeaumont-i7scouldn’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.
I agree with that. My philosophy is centered around the levers.
The junk those guys are selling is for scratch golfers. A little tweak here and there with the "big muscles"... But for those learners and hackers they try to mimic those movements they put themselves back 100 years. 😂😂😂
I've had lessons from many good club pros! My best tuition comes from an ex European Tour Pro Steve Harrison who played with Seve and Sandy. He knew how to play at the highest level like Padraig invaluable no nonsense real world coaching! Great video cheers!
Paddy you got a mic! Sounds great!
Thank you and Thank you. These one take Paddy vid tips are awesome!!!
Nice to see that paddys got a nice sense of humor
Great info. A buddy of mine flips at it on every swing and he is a 55 year old 2 handicap golfer. He only got his handicap down below 5 when he stopped trying to lag and hold his club and switched to flipping it instead.
Couldn't agree more. All this body rotation stuff is misleading
Super stuff from a super man........ Always makes sense.
Great video !
love you, your heart and skill.
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.
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.
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.
Great video, as always. Can I suggest you lose the background music please? I think it is redundant. Cheers
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!👍⛳️🏌🏼♂️🇬🇧 🇮🇪
Camera quality is superb now
Both camera and Audio are now properly professional. Thanks P. Content as always is⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ class for us hackers...
Who else wants to see the top UA-cam golfers in their own tournament sponsored by UA-cam. They have to make a cut, get a trophy, and money win money for a cause?
He’s getting 150 yards with a wrist flick, I’m getting that from a full swing well struck eight iron lol
Yep, it's talent! You dont win Majors otherwise. The rest of us are playing a different games.
Incredibly I'm hitting the ball flicking my wrists only slightly less distance..maybe 20 yards max..than with normal full swing.
Hitting the ball now regularly in the middle.
I know right , unbelievable distance those Pros get Consistently
lol "One Take Harrington". Watched a lot of a Tiger and Paddy in their prime, can't believe he's got a UA-cam channel, great content!
This video has transformed my game. I am getting much more distance in both driver and irons. Would recommend it to any high handicapper
Thank you so much for these videos!!! Cheers from Germany, Greg
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.
Henry Cotton vibes ! Love it Padraig thank you sir !
Grab a tyre (tire) and strengthen those wrists!
Paddy your one take motto is great. Do you reckon you'd get a camera down the line as well so we can see those shots?
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.
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 🏌🏻♂️
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
Incredible that some self acclaimed teachers here have millions of subscribers while a real life pro just has 30k. But please, no background music in the videos. It is really annoying.
As first thumb, i’m sure you will send me an autograph !!!😂😉
I love him. He says the opposite to everything which is taught but, it is all correct. Love it 😍
Funny isn't it?
Non chalant flick down the road aye, ill try that tomorrow
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.
Who put music on this? lol...That said, Paddy, you're the best!
I do love this tip. And it as changed my game. I am playing better with this tip.The only thing that's playing with me a bit. Am I now casting by getting the wrist working from the top. Thanks
You probably know already but your theory on skill learning is spot on.
The best way to learn a new movement pattern is not to do 100s of reps of the ideal but do 100s alternating extremes around the ideal. Your body will then naturally zone in on the ideal without being forced.
3:43 ... One take Harrington? Are you sure? I mean, you're trying to hit a 9 iron 150 yds., and you hit some fat shots. Yes, you've won a few Majors, including two Opens, and another few dozen professional tournaments. I mean, who hasn't? Ranked 3 in the world. What would you know? BTW, it's an honor to watch your lessons, and you are an awesome human being; helping those less fortunate than you in more ways than just golf lessons.
One-take Harrington from a bar in Vegas.. Love your videos, but the music?
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.
@@Station2Station-du2gh Yes the proper swing is to use your body to fling your loose arms and hands in a centrifugal fashion.
@@joevelte4252 100% agreed.
This video is GOLD!!! He dispels several myths and gives all of us USEFUL information and principles. New long term subscriber.
A whole lot more sense than many or most. Do you have a view on the wrist 'snap' in ball-striking? Should/does it exist and to what end?
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
Now world class on UA-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.👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. It’s really helped me understand the swing better. I only started playing last year during lockdown. Would you use the same amount of wrist flick with a driver?
Thank you for the incredibly helpful videos. Lots of content on UA-cam but none from someone that has gotten it done and also is a good communicator to the average person. I’ve always struggled with distance from the golf ball and posture. I tend to stand to close to the ball. Is that a video you would be willing to make ?
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.
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 👏👍
Hi Padraig, love the videos. Any chance you could do a video on starting the downswing and your preferred method and maybe best method for weekend warriors as you call us lol !?
Another excellent lesson from a golf legend. Thank You
Thanks Padraig. Enjoying & learning from your videos
Thank you!
Can these techniques be applied to the driver as well.
Seve golpeó medios tiros con un hierro tres. cuando hacemos esto Nosotras tenemos que lanzamiento el club para obtener la pelota en el aire. esto condiciona las manos para que se suelten con un disparo completo. ambas manos trabajan juntas.
Learning from a legend. What's not to love?
Simple tutorial from the master! Thanks Paddy👍🏌️♂️
This is gold. Thank you.
Great stuff Padraig!
Closed captions produce some hilarious results.
Great teaching! I love the unedited-ness of the video! Lol! Classic and REAL is Padraig!
at 4.38 you could see that bag needed some rest🙂
Thanks Patty enjoyed this video best wishes this year on tour
Thanks very much! Brilliant
That was really helpful Padraig, looking forward to trying the faster wrists. Cheers
There is a short dogleg left par 4 on my home course. I bend it around it with a 6 iron. I never fail with this shot because I'm committed to working (flipping) my wrists just as he says in the video.
Thanks Paddy for all your awesome tips, they are all very informative. However, the background “lounge music” is very distracting. Imho
Active wrists - good.
If you try the new JumboMax grips, you can put the grip into your hands, and then things get really good.
Peace.
Many golf instructors don’t distinguish between flipping through a correct swing and flipping through a bad swing, they make it sound like flipping is bad.
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!
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.
Watched this and just went and hit the best bucket of balls ever. Thank you!
I get it... the wrists need to be active. But what does that mean, Padraig? How do you do it and maintain control? What tells me that I'm doing it right and not creating bad habits? I need more details! I don't know nearly what you know!
Amazing to watch him hit balls! Thank you for showing us mere mortals how to swing a golf club.
😂 one take Paddy love it 💙💙💙💙 thanks for the tips, helps tremendously
The chip shots lesson you taught to add wrists in chipping. First it was awkward but now i consistently use wrists in chipping. For wristy full swing I'll give it a try. Thanks a lots PH.
Mr. Harrington, do you release earlier on the driver as it is longer in length and is tee'd up? vs. irons where I feel like I am almost dragging it into the ground a bit and it releases thru? Thank you Sir.
The bag was listening so attentively and actually followed the word 'FLIP'. LOL Congrats on the Senior Cup, Paddy.
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.
Why is it that in some turning point in golf instruction the gurus of golf decided that mere mortals should not actively apply the hands, wrists and fingers in the golf shot?
I wonder if the introduction of steel shafts had the greatest influence on the evolution of golf instruction? In over 200 years of golf as we know it, the average player still shoots 90+.
The eagle will forever torment in teaching the penguin to fly. I’ve only shot under par a handful of times in my 45 years and over 3500 rounds of golf; most will never break 80.
How can we soar like you, Paddy?
Thanks, Paddy. Excellent instruction for the weekend warrior. Not 1-take Harrington though- that bag moved after it fell over the first time ; )
Padraig…you have to be one of the most humble tour players!! Thank you for taking the time for us weekend warriors!! Awesome video!!
Remember the 3 R's. Read, Roll and Rists 👍
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.
Good ideas for rhythm too. Highly recommend that one practice off of a tee with slow 3/4 swings. Practicing off a tee allows for a smooth easy transition and tempo without worrying about where the ball is going or hitting down on the ball. p.s. I'm a former PGA Class A Professional.
"a firm chip". 80 yards. It takes me a full swing with my PW to get there hahaha. Seriously tho, your lessons have been so helpful so far, especially the grip one and the SCH, thank you Paddy!
I'm happy with an 80 yards pitching wedge for sure. I'm not overly trying but that's what I take as my yardage haha. Amazing how he didn't even try
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 UA-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...

Great video. You can get something called the ‘Swingcaddy’, which clicks when your flick your wrists properly. It’s quite expensive but worth the investment
I tink he’s a great teacher
Great lesson. For anything from 7 iron down I can stand with feet virtually a foot apart and whip through quickly with arms and loose wrists and yeah the ball really gets out there. Seems like there is much less to go wrong.
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.
One take Harrington......nice one 😉
Fabulous simple straight forward how to do it thanks Paddy 👍
Will my Wrist wear out?
Hi
How much elbow and arms are involved? I tried this and started to get golfers elbow.
Cheers
