THIS IS HOW THE SHOULDERS/TORSO WORK IN THE SWING | Paddy's Golf Tip #6 | Padraig Harrington

A common misconception with the backswing is that the shoulders and hips move horizontally. In actuality, the correct motion of the shoulders is more of a pulling motion which leads the hips to turn correctly and sets the torso to open properly in the downswing.

Padraig you have unlocked the science and mystique of the golf swing that others have made ridiculously confusing and have given us a brilliant straightforward blueprint to work with. Thankyou.

This guy tells and shows you how a golf swing works unlike any other teachers have talked or shown, he's brilliant

Paddy, i can't thank you enough for these golf lessons chief. As a complete beginner (about 10 rounds on the actual course with lots and lots of hours in the range), I just broke 100 and am having so much fun after nearly giving up completely. I'd read countless books, YouTube videos, online lessons, bought all the training aids, spent hours and hours at the range locking wrists and swinging hips, literally hurting at trying to get the ball up in the air bla bla - only to be completely disheartened at watching the 2 auld guys in front of me on the course smack the ball 30 yards further than me with half the swing and mobility and not a care in the world. It led me to look for someone that cut the crap and would help me find that loose, enjoyable golf swing and sure enough I stumbled across your channel. Watched a few of your tip vids back to back, went to the range the next day and the swoosh and feel of that first iron hit, which went 50 yards further than i'd been able to hit before EFFORTLESSLY, was nothing short of cathartic.

I can't believe you can literally get free golf lessons from a hall of famer on here that turn you in to a great golfer who can hit well and have fun and you dont have a million subcribers. I'd subscribe 1000 times if I could.

God bless ya, thank you so much for helping me relax, enjoy and fall in love with this daft wee game - next time you're in Scotland am owe you a few drams for sure!

I am so grateful to have a champion like Padraig Harrington casually getting in front of a camera and riffing on the golf swing ...it's like we bumped into each other at the range or practice green.

Finally some one straight forward and honest in explaining the golf swing.The shoulders are usually the main problem for the average golfer.

Want to learn how to make a golf swing? LEARN FROM A TOURING PRO!!! All the other wannabees on YouTube have no clue on how to actually play golf, they just watch lots of videos and think they know what is happening in the swing. Thank you Padraig for making this information available to us mere mortals!!!!

This is the only video you should look at a golf swing from start to finish. What he is showing us is seen by every single golf pro around the world men and woman. Its # 1 Padrig

I've subscribed to many youtube golf channels and even paid for online courses. This is by far the best youtube golf channel or online course I've had. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge for free.

Every time i go down the rabbit hole and find something that clicks in my swing, i come back to paddys channel and if i find something that confirms my feelings, i know I'm on the right track, if i don't, then i re watch one of paddys videos and go back to what works. Fantastic instructor, player, and person!

[John-ocpt]

Theses videos are absolute GOLD!! Imagine 25 years ago when no YouTube or anything like that and everyone knocking about trying figure out how the pros swing it. We have a tour pro effectively coaching us for free, eagerly waiting for the next video already. Thanks

[Gumballa]

since he doesn't have to sell a system or make a living teaching he can say it how it is! Simple and concise. Loving the straight forward content! Great job, much appreciated

[gototcm]

Have had a lot of instruction over the years but never had such a clear explanation of something so basic- Thanks Paddy!! I owe you a pint.

[shaneharrison]

Best, simplest explanation of shoulder turn I have seen in the 40 years I have played this great game.Thank you

[jacktoliver]

Pad is a natural teacher. It’s a gift.

[kimchee]

My favorite golf instruction video ever! Absolutely game changing for me!

[miketom]

Harrington is such a good teacher. My swing has never been better.

[azcharlie]

I always knew you were a great player... Just never knew how an instructor you are!

[wccgroundsman]

As with many others I do subscribe to a number of golfing channels but I only have notifications set up on one and that's Padraig's. Sincerely many thanks Padraig.

[mangelarsson]

I cant describe in words how much I love Paddy's golf tips. Its like taking part of a long excellent career in golf, like behind the scenes. Thank you Paddy! Please keep making more of them!!

"That's all there is to it." When it is explained and demonstrated as you do, it is an epiphany, i.e., a manifestation of a divine or supernatural being. Well done, Paddy, well done.
