  • A proper grip on the club is arguably one of the hardest things to learn with golf, but it is an essential component to achieving success in the sport. Put simply, a bad grip will always result in a bad swing and therefore it is imperative that players focus on perfecting their grip, if they truly want to make improvements to their game.

    I watched this video 2 years ago, when Paddy released it. However I failed to take his advice and have suffered along for 2 years just thinking that I could play as is, this despite me really wanting to be a golfer whi shoots low scores. Yesterday I had the most atrocious game ever, I just couldn't hit the ball straight. My friend told me to put the club in the fingers of my right hand, just like Paddy says here. My response was that it feels so ridiculously uncomfortable and I can't control the club. He forced me to swing like that, I hit my best shots of the day and was more balanced and controlled in my swing. My mind was blown away. My worst decision to date in golf was not listening to this video when I first saw it. Thank you for the advice Paddy, wishing you everything of the best, I know you probably won't see this but I figured I would say it anyway. Whoever watches this video, I hope you don't make the mistake I did. Golf really can be a miserable game when you don't get the basics right.

    @heavynux Před 3 měsíci +1

    A gentleman approached me at the driving range the other day, noticing I’m a new golfer and that I was consistently topping the ball, and mentioned my lead arm kept bending during the backswing. This sort of blew my mind as I felt I was focusing on keeping it straight, and it felt straight to me. Even when he showed me how it should look and I tried to replicate it, it felt awfully uncomfortable - but I was hitting a lot cleaner. I’m a more muscular guy so perhaps it’s a flexibility issue, but now I realize my grip has been deeper into my palm just as Padraig showed most am’s do in this video. Just did a few practice swings with a newly adjusted grip lower in my fingers. It’s made a world of difference, I can hear the difference in club speed without any added effort, my lead arm can extend comfortably just like the gentleman at the range showed me, all due to this minor detail. Thank you Paddy, can’t wait to get back out there and drill this into muscle memory.

    This is one of those things that I've struggled with in my journey to become a better golfer. You explained the grip really well and I most appreciated the "squeezing your thumb with the pad of your right hand" reminder as it immediately feels like a better grip in that position.

    Golf is a brutal harsh game that humiliates those who guess what swing mechanics are. Thank you for your stripped away visceral truth Paddy. I am that guesser and have struggled for 20 years because I could not get GRIP!!! At 25 I had a swing speed of 151 but it was all wasted on the account of ignorance and machismo! The male species is a slow learning rock smashing dope! Happy to give 13 minutes of my time to hear this.

    I started playing golf 3 years ago in my 50s. The grip never felt right to me. I played around my grip, but your video convinced me that this was not only ineffective, but ultimately a total waste of time. And, my golf showed it. I'd break 90. Then I'd be back up over 100. Find some more hacks & go under 100 again. Your emphasis on the importance of grip has already changed my outlook & I've only been able to implement over the last week. First, I found my SKLZ grip trainer that I discarded. Then, I hit the chip shots you recommended. I have power in my swing that I've never had previously. Thanks so much & I appreciate your desire to share the insights of a great golfer so us amateurs can enjoy the game more.

    Personally i dont knit my hands together as much because i have to have a more separated overlap to get the comfortable mobility Padraig mentions. The classic instruction would tell me to get my hands together but i dont get a proper hinge that way.

    Messed around with hitting balls ever since I was a kid but at 60 only joined a club this year. Got some second hand clubs and headed out only to realise that I have picked up a lot of bad habits over the years. Paddy's no nonsense tips helps me cut through the bull. Beginning to be able to shape the shot, 'swishing' the club has added no end of yards, 'chest' has helped me cut out lateral movement and 'hold' has got my playing mates slagging the bleep out of me (but helps me to 'complete the process' every time). Cannot wait to break 90. Getting close! More importantly......loving the game. Cheers Padraig.

    How does he not have the most subscribers for any golf channel. Never seen a 3 time major winner have a channel, let alone go into great detail to explain how to play, tips, how to get better, swing faster, etc. just awesome.

    Singlehandedly the best instructional plus explanation ever read or heard anywhere talking about most overlooked and yet important part of the swing. Thank you so much for this. I literally keep coming back to the grip every few months as it always feels uncomfortable. But this has clarified SO much! You da man paddy!
