- Starting the downswing is fundamental to producing a good swing. In this lesson, I demonstrate the correct movement with the use of a prop to help players experience the required feeling of the stretch in the left shoulder, arm and wrist.

Hi Padraig, what's next after the start of the downswing? Do I just rotate and the release of the club head happen naturally? The problem I am having right now is the casting and this video is perfect for me to fix it. Thank you!
How to hit a low draw into the wind with a longer iron
Can you elaborate on the bending of the left wrist at the start of the downswing please Champ 🏆 you seem to have a way of explaining intricate moves like no-one else can ⛳
Simple, how to “stay in posture”
Missing putts inside of 10 ft to the right all the time.
The only real teacher on UA-cam. No gimmicks no junk to sale- just real knowledge. Loved the thought of shoulder to shoulder. Now go win that Velero Open
Yet millions watch UA-cam hackers who struggle to break 80, just because they promise you things that are too good true.
Agreed 💯! Love Paddy, no sales pitch. Just a great Pro sharing his knowledge
I know that Ernie Els doesnt have a channel...but look out for any Ernie tips.... he makes golf simple like paddy.
@@beniteztheconmanErnie is my favorite swing of all time I’m black so everyone just assumes I’m a Tiger fan but Ernie and Vijay are my golf heroes
Watching his long arrogant intro is a bit repetitive.
We are beyond lucky to have such a wonderful and talented guy like Paddy that takes his time help us Amatures! Thank you and congrats for your entry to World Golf Hall of Fame!!!
Owned a practice range for 35 years. Hired countless teachers. Was a scratch player. Padraig, your lessons are awesome. You present numerous ways for the student to grasp what you are trying to convey. And of course, since you have walked the walk, there is no denying the technique is sound. Absolutely, the best golf teaching information on the internet!! Please continue the lessons indefinitely.
More than 15 years watching UA-cam lessons, lost confidence that golf principles that really works by armatures might not even exists. I am so delighted that eventually I find Paddy. His explanation of this "start downswing" and the "grip" and "wrist" action are fundamentals of golfing physics. Other people gave trivial advices that waste your time and cause out focus and chaos. THANKS PADDY!
A real golfer teaching for free on UA-cam . What a time to be Alive
How can you not like Paddy?! Love the lessons Paddy, thank you very much!
I don't care for his long borderline arrogant intro
@@captaindein33 Similiar to how nobody cares for your jealous and unnecessary comment.
Paddy gives all he has to each idea he expresses
Newly minted Hall of Fame designee - Paddy Harrington. Your name will now be enshrined and remembered for as long as the game of golf exists.
So, by far my biggest problem, to overcome the “hit” instinct and come over the top. I’ll bet the single most common problem among all amateur golfers. Two things: first, I tried this with resistance bands from the top of a door and immediately got the feedback of starting with the body, with the arms following behind as opposed to trying to “hit” the ball by muscling the club with the arms. Second, what a class act, golf HoFer, major champion, Ryder Cup captain, putting out the best, most practical, easy to understand instruction content on UA-cam for free. Thank you, Captain Harrington.
Well I’ve just strained me groin and got a double hernia watching you doing this …..paddy is the Peter Pan of golf ….loving the lessons …many thanks
Damn, this is genius. I wish I would have had this level of information when I was struggling to learn how to golf. This is f'n genius.
Well done at the Texas Valero open, showing the young pups your still on the prowl, enjoyed watching you play lad 👌
Always the best tips. Thanks Padraig for doing this!
My pleasure!
@@PadraigHarringtonOfficial Does it matter where the club is at the top? Can it be flat like Ricki fowler, or it needs to be upright?
@@jeffc1736 Doesn't really matter; do what feels natural. So many top level golfers have had flatter swings (Hogan) and vertical (Bubba). The big piece they all have in common is what Paddy is emphasizing in this video which is the initial move on the downswing to get the club on the correct path. This video is probably the absolute best instruction I've ever seen for how to start the downswing.
Padraig is the best. Teaching is something he loves. I can just feel it. My favorite on line instructor. Been following his game for 20 years.
More putting tips. Your video about missing on the high side was genius and has really helped me
Simple. Concise. Works.
I nominate Padraig Harrington for teacher of the millennium.
👍 Excellent Excellent Excellent ! Thank you for giving back to the golf community after such a great career !!
He is a magnificent instructor
Padraig, I can't thank you enough for these videos. I am teaching myself Golf from scratch as i am going to use that as my LIIT cardio to lose couple hundred pounds and I'm just following the roadmap youve made. I'm just doing nothing but chipping and putting atm w/ 1/2 swing. Got a $200 set of Spalding clubs from amazon and gonna buy a season pass soon as courses open up in a few weeks here in North Dakota and play 3-4x a week. So much more engaging and fun than statically walking 1-2 hours. Plus w/ the backpack style golf bag it's like a light day hike. Anyways, I don't have the money to pay for lessons so teaching myself and was a lil overwhelmed with all the different info and you provided a clear and concise roadmap from chipping all the way to driving and progressively more intricate motions. My plan is to to just focus on each section until I get it down and figure at the end of it I should have a good foundation to build upon. Thank you so much for providing this for free here on UA-cam w/o a paywall. I think starting w/ nothing but 1/2 swing chipping has really helped me because obviously i'm hella fat right now KEKW and trying to emulate a 180lb normal dudes swing wasn't working, but just naturally moving athletically like you suggest is making a huge difference.
☝🏻Not phoning this one in - love it! 💪🏻😅
By far the best instruction on UA-cam.
Paddy is awesome teacher.
You're so keen to improve my game! Inspirational
havent been watching for weeks...came back and see youve got a new camera!! amazing quality!
I think everybody should carefully listen to these recommendations. Brilliant and thanks !
i subscribed when you had just a couple of videos, about 4k subs.. you have only 88k now. people dont appreciate what a great player you were and are! awesome tips!
It is absolutely amazing that you are sharing your passion for golf we us. The reason your instruction is the best on the internet is you not only describe what to do but how it actually feels.
Best teacher out there!☘️☘️☘️
Amazing tip...never would have thought...
Not one other instructor in 50 years of my playing has ever said anything like this. Wonderful tip.
Ace ,pro !
Once again good on you !⛳️🏌🏻♂️😎
If people knew this channel existed it would have millions of subscribers. Lessons from a PRO!!!
Finally a real pro golfer on UA-cam ❤🎉
Tremendous as usual.
Thanks Padraig you have an exceptional ability to describe the various facets of golf and great drills to work with…… Thank you for passing along is great information we know you don’t have to do it just the kind of guy you are appreciate you man.
"Going big budget on this one. We've got PROPS!!" Love it. Great content and down to earth approach. Thanks for posting!!
Probably one of the best instruction videos I have ever seen. Immediately gave me more distance and the much wanted draw. I can now complete my swing with much more confidence without a fear of slicing. Paddy, thank you very much !!!
What did you do to get that change
love the way you do this,and that flop shot in valero..BRAVO, took me by surprise,loved it
3 time major winner and hall of famer next year! Kind of blows other channels out of the water with experience and knowledge
What a true gentleman in life and profession. Winner on every level. Deep respect.
Thanks for another great video these all have helped me so much
Best lesson I’ve ever seen on the downswing! Thanks so much Padraig. I’ve been struggling with this for years.
Drills on how to keep the hands/arms in front and not get stuck or left behind in down swing, to help with more consistent and solid impact with irons. As below, thank you, really enjoy your videos and much appreciated.
Your the man Padraig! Congrats on your texas tournament!
Brilliant explanation - not just of what to do but also of what not to do. Thank you, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
3:35. The Irish Twist, yes!
Props! I love it. Great tip. Sidehill is perfect.
I have a hard time with this. Great tip!
So there's a *cinching feeling* with that left arm then?
Justin Rose talked about feeling the left arm slide across the upper torso in the downswing. So many great tips! 👌
I love the way you explain! Loosing your breath by explaining shows, how much passion is in there! Thanks Paddy!
I like the way you break things down padraig it always improves my game when I watch your tutorials, thanks for being a true legend of golf ⛳️
I always want leave a comment to other UA-cam instructors to the effect " you are aware that Padraig Harrington provides instruction on UA-cam right". I mean why would you watch anything else but this guy.
Good luck in the Texas open today Paddy, we are all behind you all the way👌💚
Your best video yet! Thanks
Outstanding
My first comment on you videos...they are brilliant.. literally changing my game with the chipping and pitching ones..thank you for your time.
True amazing info and works👏👏
Excellent paddy Thanks
This is so good. Thank you so much. For me, the part that resonated was when you said "Everything. Feel it with everything. Pull with everything." I've been trying to figure out what specific body part to trigger the downswing. Open the hips? Rotate the shoulders? "Pull a chain" as Sergio's dad suggested? The way you said "Just grab this towel and pull down with everything" makes so much sense. "Feel the stretch here, here, here and here." It also allows me to feel like I'm being an athlete instead of a robot trying to mash together 12 swing thoughts at once. Thank you, Padraig. Keep up the good work.
What an amazing instruction. Thank you padraig!
Padraig, would love to see an episode where you cover tempo. I have a tendency to get fast on the downswing resulting in poor shots, lack of control, falling off finish etc. Paddy
I love this. Thanks, Padraig!
As always, great info Paddy. We really appreciate you putting in this time and effort to help us improve. Best wishes and best of luck to you. Cal in Texas.
You're terrific. Congrats on your induction.
I started following the tips in your channel and my handicap dropped from 11 to 8 (best I have even been). I cant thank you enough for what you do in this channel. The biggest takeaway for me was how having a proper grip is critical for hitting the golf ball well. It always been an after thought for me.
I have been struggling with my swing for a while. I’ve been guilty of ‘tinkering’ and then listening to too many well intentioned tips from playing partners. This video is exactly what I needed to see. 20 mins on the range this afternoon and then 9 holes on a very tough @sirnickfaldo course and I hit the ball better than I have in months. Thanks Padraig. Please keep these videos coming 🙏
Same for me. I haven't been content with my swing and my stock fade has turned into a slice many times. Been on youtube tinkering with tips and it's gotten worse. This, and especially the active wrists video will help me I think. I'm a bonafide weekend warrior. Sometimes not even that, sometimes I get 1 round in 3 weeks, and I expect to play good. Go figure. I need something that works most times, without many thoughts (which is the biggest killer for me right now) so will start with the wrist tips and face control. Then move on to this.
Love your wisdom, Paddy! Thx for sharing.
Thanks Paddy!
Love This!
I don't want to speak for everyone but I think we are all interested in how you're bombing it so far on senior tour. Can you do more speed vids?! Love the channel
It’s because he’s increased his swing speed by 5pm over the past 5 years. He’s up to 120mph which is 5mph above the PGA Tour average.
Watched him reach the 595yd 14th hole today in 2 with a 280 yard 3-wood from the rough!
@@lawrencecirillo3233 That's crazy! If I swing 105 mph I hurt myself.
Michael Jacobs at Jacobs3D
He’s insanely flexible for his age. He can still rotate, get his hands high, and move his body as fast as a 30 year old. He’s in shape and stretches and does yoga. His body moves like a 30 year old because of his conditioning. Not many 60+ year olds can move like he does
@@jimlahey3919 I can…good for me.
Paddy is golf gold, we love you mate
I love that you take the time to try to help us, Paddy. I love your videos. Thank you!
Love your videos. Exactly this move gives the power! 💯👍
Awesome instruction, thanks so much for the lesson!
God love ya' Paddy! Thanks for bringing us more great golf tips so us old duffers can get around the course with a wee bit lower scores (like 99 instead of 100!).
Another fantastic sharing of your knowledge Padraig. Thank you again.
Love the passion. You're a great teacher
Absolute gold! Here's to continued and greater success in your wonderful career!
Great video, as always!
Great Tip, this is work that needs to be understood _ I am the guy throwing the arms and right shoulder trying to get the same effect!
This is excellent. Great instruction!
Best lesson ever
Love your training videos.
Love these videos
G'Day Paddy, I've been struggling with this for years, and you've explained it so well. Something I can take to the gym, then the range and then the course. Thank you very much for your time and energy.
Absolutely what I need to do to improve, thanks Padraig
Awesome, thanks so much Padraig. Makes so much sense and so easy to relate to......absolute legend.
Excellent video, so much good info. There's a comments thread in The Times today about you getting in the Euro Ryder Cup team. keep up the good play.
Thank you Padraig. Your Videos are helping me to become a better player
Good to see you doing so well at the Texas Open. Love the videos.
Great stuff as always. The fact that he is making content is amazing. Thank you!
Good luck this week Paddy and next! Great tips always if you struggle after playing then coaching should help you pay the bills 👍🏼
My man!! I freaking loved this! I’ve struggled 40 years coming over the top, and no one has explained it better than you!!!
Thank you Mr. Harrington.
Great video!! It opened my eyes and know i match perfectly my impact position!!! Thanks for your help and congratulations for your great career!!
Insanely good. Nothing like it.
Great lesson, Thank you Padraig
Fortunate to watch you practice and play Valero on Friday. The practice session and your warm up was such a great experience and lesson for me. The exaggeration of your turn was something I’ll never forget and am adding to my practice. A particular shot on #2, your second shot, was such a great example of what you’re teaching here. Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.
Good luck today at Valero and all of your future endeavors.
