      Thanks Pagraig, another great video and timely for me as putting is my current area of focus to improve further. High side tip, awesome! I've also never really thought about posting more weight on my left or right side at address for putting. Trying it now in the living room it feels like i'm not square up through my posture? Doing it wrong clearly.

    Padrig: I watched ur video on putting and how a putt missed low ends up 3x further away than one missed high. I used that thought on every putt today and played a little more break on every putt. I am 71 and I shot my age for the first time. Made 132’ of putts. Great lesson. Thank you.

    Loved the tip on long putts, always go high. BTW was concerned you might take a break from your vids. You were hugely respected as a classy Ryder Cup captain, and really appreciate your infectious enthusiasm for teaching us handicap golfers how to improve. Big thank you.

  • @nigelharding9296

    throwing a golf ball 6ft in front of you makes you realise what you haven't been doing all these years. Great tip. Thank you Padriag.

    @markb8039 Před 2 lety +3

    Paddy I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do these videos, they are so helpful and from a man as experienced as yourself they are invaluable. Personally I would like a weight transfer tip from top of my backswing to finish

    @gregleavitt1255 Před 2 lety +51

    Your tips are always valuable and much appreciated, Paddy! And, speaking as an American, I can say that you led your team with grace and dignity over the weekend. There wasn't much you could've done differently against that buzzsaw. Nothing to hang your heads about, just prepare for next time. Cheers, Mate!

  • @kevinoh6413
    @kevinoh6413 Před 2 lety +4

    Fascinating and insightful as always!
    Love the tip on placing the ball 1 inch forward of the sternum to promote the slight upward stroke and get a roll. Also love the tip on missing long putts on the high side to shorten the distance of a 2nd putt.
    Common sense tips as always but explained in such a way that we can learn to do things right without too many swing thoughts, or technical changes.
    Keep up the great work Padraig.
    You are making the technical side of the game far easier to understand by showing us great technique that is achievable for everyone!
    After you have another 5 wins on the European and PGA tour over the next 2 years, you could definetely have a future as a coach!
    Absolute legend!!!

  • @mrace6147
    @mrace6147 Před 2 lety +4

    I’ve never heard the missing on the high side tip contextual used this way. I think it’s a game changer. If I’m not making those putts, I just try to lag them up. Always miss on the low side trying to be precise and not being able to execute. This reframed my intentions. Thx Paddy.
    Also, well done to you and your Ryder Cup team. Pure Class.

    Always love your videos Padraig. I hope you're relaxing after the marathon of being a Ryder Cup Captain. You're one of the good-guys Padraig and one of the most respected human beings in the World of Golf. You will be remembered as being a fantastic Captain, much loved and respected by players and fans. It was simply a watershed year for the Ryder Cup in terms of the strength of the USA team and the lopsided fan-base. All outwith your control, you did it right Padraig.

    @jimthompson6424 Před 2 lety +1

    I’m a scratch golfer and that’s an extremely valuable tip (miss extra high)! It’s something I instinctively do but I have never seen it put into words/tip before.

  • @GKFC
    @GKFC Před rokem +1

    Thank you for clarifying the grip in this video.
    Very useful to see the differences between it and a more orthodox "in the fingers" grip for the rest of the game.

    This is seriously the best putting instructional video I have ever watched. Thanks Padraig!

  • @fintan_burke
    @fintan_burke Před 2 lety +2

    Would love to hear your advise on any of the below please Captain Harrington.
    1) Long putts - in particular reading the green and speed.
    2) Deciding between chipping or putting when just off the green.
    3) Short chips from rough when about 15 feet away from hole (sometimes struggle to accelerate through the ball which results in duffing the chip).
    Great tips as always, love trying to put them into practice. Go raibh maith agat!

  • @thevoiceofcod643
    @thevoiceofcod643 Před 2 lety +3

    Excellent lesson. Just what I needed. I’ve changed my full swing and pitching/chipping swing, and I’m hitting it better. But I’m missing the putts. You’ve convinced me to go back to “left hand low” putting. I tried it 20 years ago but couldn’t get the pacing right. Always long and felt my stance felt open. Even when I putt left handed, I’m lead hand low. But your lesson here I think just gave me the grip I need for “left hand low” putting. Thanks Paddie, and great job in the Ryder Cup. Your boys came to play and played well. 🥂

    @dabdias Před 2 lety +2

    On todays video, the 3-1 ratio of break for amateurs and the high-low side of long turning puts were really useful tips. Thank you!

  • @billguy2847
    @billguy2847 Před 2 lety +2

    A great series of tips Padraig, presented in an understandable and simple fashion. Please keep up the good work. Hitting longer range putts high on the high side is the one stand out tip for me.
    You have always putted left hand low with great success as others like Jordan Speith, Jim Furyk and many very successful golfers. Would you consider producing a video with your thoughts on why you use this method, advantages, how you place your hands, which hand delivers the hit, effect in controlling wrist break-down, view on arm lock or long putter methods by comparison, etc.
    Can I also add to the the many other contributors in praise of your captaincy of the European Ryder Cup team and what a great job you did away on American soil especially with very limited European support due to travel restrictions.

  • @jirasakmalaengpoothong8663

    Priceless advice. Your chipping technique became a fundamental for me. I’ll try your putting technique. Thanks a lot PH.

  • @sbreit1759
    @sbreit1759 Před 2 lety

    I’ve been playing over 30 years and have heard countless times that amateur golfers borrow too little break. This is the very first time explaining that the higher borrow gets the lag putts closer! Brilliant.

  • @winston9971
    @winston9971 Před 2 lety +3

    @edogaktop Před rokem +1

    First time watching your channel, and although I have heard many times that we should always miss high, I thought the only reason was the hole is "bigger" on the high side. Never heard about the shorter miss on the high side. Thanks Paddy, you are a top class player and having

    Great tip about putting on the high side. I always end up with the 6ft plus putt but not anymore...hopefully!

  • @AtEboli
    @AtEboli Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for the tips. People always say confidence is the key to putting, but in my experience, if you don't have good technique, you will not succeed, no matter how high your confidence. I liked the tips on hitting up on it slightly, and on giving it a tap. Both valuable bits of advice.

    @quitorfix Před 16 dny

    I changed to a similar style of cack handed putting to reduce shoulder tension. Golf is one-sided and half the time your putting. ThIs tension release has improved both my putting and long game...additional bonus of mental switch/reset between long and short game due to significantly diifferent grips for each...

  • @neilh4729

  • @chriscampbell3055
    @chriscampbell3055 Před 2 lety

    Paddy,
    Thanks for the tips! I missed the cut at my provincial amateur this year simply because I had the yips. I was missing tap ins and I even had a 4 putt.
    Your thoughts on the “tap feel” really sits with me. I spent all year trying to smooth it out, but clearly that didn’t work!
    This is gold info coming from a multiple major champion.
    I can’t thank you enough for freely sharing this information.

    This is great, Padraig. The things I found most helpful were looking for the tap (prevents me tending to push it, which I'm prone to do) and aiming to miss wide on the high side. I nearly always under-compensate for breaks/slopes. Thanks very much.

    All of your tips and lessons have been fantastic! For your question on most useful, Always felt like I had a neutral grip but am working to make sure I have it deep enough in my fingers. 2nd, was use of hands and chest in the golf swing, spot on! Darn near put a ball through my apartment wall when chipping the compression was so much better and the last tip was putting left hand low to improve shoulder alignment. It will take time to be comfortable but I see the benefits you explained. Thank you for all of your videos! Jeff
