- čas přidán 14. 06. 2024
- 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.

A player of your caliber, with your resume making time to share these things with the rest of us...who does that? Speaks volumes about the kind of man you are. Just thank you!
A nice guy but he's not doing it for free
@@conorledwith530
He's definitely not doing it fir nothing , and he's most certainly not doing it for money .
So what is his motivation , when he clearly cares that we understand.
@@mulletheadbanger ok so the guy is doing it for something but he's helping people improve and helping to promote the game which is a win for all of us who love golf.
Couldn’t agree more!! Thanks very much Padraig!! Best golf videos on CZcams!!
@@conorledwith530 So he is a multi millionaire and he is doing this for a few dollars on CZcams....poor Padraig things must be tight.
No one ever explained the grip better than this. Absolutely brilliant!
No way, a tour pro actually doing some videos and having a channel. And a 3 time major champion, the greatest Irish golfer of all time. Amazing. Thanks padraig, more guys should do this
Well Rory is but paddy is pretty bloody great.
@@dmkappa62 Rory is the greatest northern Irish golfer of all time, there's a difference
@@aidangriffiths5075 so ireland is sub divided is it? Is that just an Irish thing is it?
@@dmkappa62 it's pretty well documented, look it up
@@aidangriffiths5075 i honestly don’t care.
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.
If you're golfing correctly, then you start the next round ignoring the advice again until a few holes into the back nine when things go well until they don't.
Paddy not even trying to be the best instructor on the internet, just being himself....making him the best instructor on the internet! Thank you!
exactly, knowledge, respect equals attitude and effect. Great man.
This is the first video I watched from the series. Last night hit two buckets at the range focusing only on what Paddy said in this video and saw immediate result’s. Great instructions and I can’t wait to watch the others in this series. Thanks for making golf fun.
Paddy, you make everything so practical- no fancy, complicated, technical explanations- just common sense practical applications. Keep it up- your videos work for all levels.
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.
I’ve looked forever for a video that showed clearly how you guys get your right hand on top like that. You’re the best!
One of the best golf videos Ive seen, and Ive seen a few thousands. Thank You, Mr. Harrington!
This channel is such a next level legendary move by paddy, give us some course vlogs and this will be the biggest channel on golftube!
Let's get the golf courses back open!

I agree, but the thing about a man like Paddy, he doesn't need 'views' or 'likes', he KNOWS he's legit!
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.
Thats one humble awesome dude right here taking time to do this. Absolutely amazing. Guy is dropping lesson after lesson for free that you generally would have to pay for. Cant thank him enough for making these videos.
Highest respect for a true gentlemen! Thanks
With all of the ‘loose’ instruction on CZcams regarding the grip from folks who self define themselves as experts, I am so relieved that a champion like Mr. Harrington has take to this forum to educate the masses on the vital topic of the grip. I will certainly keep this video in my rotation. When a champion speaks, you listen.
Attention to detail Padraig explains it very well Thank you .
Could listen to you all day, if your ever passing Essex give us a shout...really enjoying your content makes a change to have a top class major champion giving advice on U tube ...many thanks 👌🏻
Great Ambassador for Ireland and a great Ambassador for Golf, this is a great channel, now I must take a look at my grip!!
Best grip instruction video ever.
So cool that you are doing this channel. It shows you care about the average Joe.
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.
Great tips. Can't wait to see a putting Paddy's Golf Tip!!
From Marysville, CA.
Thank you for ‘pressing’ yourself into the work produced herewith Mr. Harrington
So many YT golfers giving tips but when they come from a player of the PH's calibre, take heed. Thank you for this.
Absolutely the best grip information I've ever seen. Love Padraig I think I could listen to him all day 👍
Every word he says is golden. There’s no “filler” in any of his videos.
Champion golfer, Champion Coach. Thank you Padraig.
Could listen to you all day Paddy 👍🏻
The most legitimate video ever made on grip ..... single digits !!! I am coming for you ......!!
I really admire your honesty. “Want to keep a bad grip and play every few months - might as well give up the game.” You’re not being harsh Paddy, just realistic. Love your tips.
The whole lesson filmed in one take. Such spontaneity! Great advice, thank you.
Lessons from an actual golf legend. Thanks Padraig for the real insights.
Thanks for the video Padraig.
This is the best video on the golf grip I have ever seen.
Looking forward to you next video already!
This entire series is great. But this episode on the grip is a fantastic platform for improving your game. 5 stars!
That's the best lesson I've seen by far on the grip.
What an amazing film, I'm a 68 yr old 2 times a week golfer and this was a blessing, thank you so much, anytime your in Dunedin, New Zealand it's my shout.
This man does not make it complicated what so ever, which is rare for youtube golf lessons.
Alot of golf teachers use words that can mean multiples things when they are describing crucial points of a lesson and it blows my mind.
Met you in Vilamoura on my 50th at the airport and you were really kind to us, i love watching and reading about you ever since. I bet your family couldn’t be more proud of you. I wish you all the success possible Padraig you’re a proper star. And thanks for the tips i need them
Always thought i had a half decent grip... boy was i wrong! The second he said the glove wearing on the palm I knew I was in trouble. Off to wave a club around the house like a mad man for the next 6 weeks I go!
God it was like I wrote that exactly the same gloves wearing at the palm ✋
Me too ..I ve worn so many gloves like that !
If you are a golfer and you have not subscribed to Paddy's channel you are A. missing out badly, B. missing out terribly. These videos are awesome thanks Paddy you are the man. There are some great instruction videos on youtube, but the instruction that comes from a man that won 3 majors well thats just gold aint it.
Simply the best video I have ever seen about the most important thing in golf
I really appreciate his honesty
Awesome, that grip is a thing of beauty... love Padraig's straight talking, no nonsense just pure gold. Thank you Padraig , you are a top man. Smash it up this weekend...
Best instructor on the web
this video just made my golf game so much easier thank you so much !!
You are the first who told me about a good grip. Thanks very much.
So refreshing to have an ultimate pro put out these videos. Amazing content.
your enduring passion for the game combined with unbridled honesty gives golfers of all abilities an invaluable insight and opportunity to improve - thank you for taking the time!
Thank you, Paddy for taking the time to help us all learn the game. Your teaching style is fantastic!
Thankyou for your time and energy in helping the amateur become a better player
you've really grown to be my favorte player. world class person
This is the best video of a grip explanation I’ve come across on you tube...I’ve just had a lesson and changed my grip to something like this...it does help that a pros pro is giving this advice...spot on padraig 👌👌
Straight up truth, Paddy telling everyday golfers to SMARTEN Up!! I love it!! You are the man Paddy!!
This really helps. I’ve never heard someone put this level of emphasis on the grip.
NOW PADY YOU ARE A TRUE PRO YOU EXPLANE EVERYTHING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE EXPLANED, JUST GREAT
Best gripping video on CZcams, period. I've been having a grip problem until I stumbled upon this, total game changer.
Best grip lesson I ever saw!!
Hogan took a lot of time in his book to stress the importance of the grip, so did Nicklaus and now Harrington is devoting a full episode to it. When these legends tell me something is critical I listen 👍🏻
I've been golfing for three months and wanted to get better golf tips. Please add golf guru to my Telegram: t.me/Annefang. Thanks a lot
I really like the bluntness, as with any coach , friend , teacher , or parent, the ability for them to tell it like it really is and your ability to listen 👂 to them are absolutely essential for progress in anything in life . The truth hurts sometimes but it will also help you grow , great video .
What a revelation Paddy. Good simple honest advice and easy to understand practical demos. Please keep them coming and thank you.
I'm getting back into the game after 15 years away. I decided to treat it like I was a beginner again and I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge you are putting out there.
Anyone that wants to improve should be watching these videos. I'm glad I stumbled upon them but I'm also sad that it took me 48 years to get here. Better late than never I guess.
I love the clear distinction between left and right hand positions...IE Acknowledging the variance in left hand but common position of the right hand .
I have to say it’s by far the most straight to the point, no nonsense video I’ve seen on the grip. Easy to follow. Great video Padraig.
This is a historic lesson, from the Ben Hogan (Open Champion 1953) 'Five Lessons' book, to Padraig Harrington (Open Champion 2007 AND 2008) to us, the humble public. You've done something so great here Padraig.
One of the best giving free invaluable detailed information. Thanks Padraig.
A great champion providing quality instruction, thank you!
Great Video Padraig, this is what i like Good fundamental's from the start or everything after is wasted. I can see this channel being massive for new beginners to golf and golfers struggling with there game. so excited to see where you go with this . great job.
What a fantastic walkthrough of the golf grip. Absolutely marvelous.
Best tip ever. Played this morning using Padraig's lesson. Hit the ball better than I've ever done. Top man. Thank you.
One of the best if not the best treatments on the grip that you will find anywhere. You can get a bit
more technical explaining why this is proper grip but this is simple
and understandable. Please folks, listen to this. It can save you years of frustration. Thanks Pa
focusing on this video and this alone all winter has drastically improved my ball striking and distance
Thank you so much for this excellent video. I’ve seen countless videos on the grip and this is the best by far!
I’ve been looking at videos on grip for a ages now, this is by far the best explained video. Cheers Paddy you legend!
What a classy guy! Love Paddy and his lessons.
Love it Padraig
Such a helpful description. I watch this several times a week.
Paddy that was the absolute best grip video ever! Thanks for doing these videos.
I've watched a lot of videos on grip. This is by far the best, most practical and logically explained one.
As follow up, I took this to the range and had one of my best sessions to date. Very very helpful.
the BEST and most comprehensive help I have ever seen on grip in 20 years. thank you Sir.
This is by far the the best most comprehensive golf instruction I’ve come across. What really sets it apart is it’s explained in a simple uncomplicated way! Looking forward to more videos! (Long irons would be great, asking for a friend)
‘asking for a friend’ Nice one, James. I believe you; thousands wouldn’t.
This video and the advice the man gives is absolute gold.
And the good news is if you already grip the club in your fingers you already swing it good, or you will soon.
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.
Thank you so much Padraig. This is amazing and you can feel how much you want to help the amateur golfer have more fun at the game you love.
Fantastic video. The only grip instruction I've seen that explained the wy as well as the how (and much better detail on the how).
So now I know what I need to work on before I work on anything else -- THX!
What would we do without this Paddy. . . gentleman and a scholar. This is absolutely responsible for changing my game. He’s right, changing grip feels WRONG, like kissing-your-sister WRONG, but man has it improved my ball striking
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.
What a gent paddy is. Love this channel 🇮🇪
Thank you very much for taking the time to bring clear and useful golf lessons.
Single best lesson ever
Thanks Padraig,most helpful golf video I had ever watched.I thought my grip was ok till I watched this....what a difference!
That was the best 13 minutes spent in a long time - fantastic points, thank you Padraig
I feel so grateful to have found this channel. Incredible for a champion of this calibre to take the time to teach world-class lessons. Thank you so much Pádraig.
Thank you sooooo much!!! I can’t thank you enough for this detail instruction, the best I’ve ever got!!! Been trying to figure this out for over 30 years.
Wow! Thank you for your time!
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!
Best advice yet with grip. Thanks Paddy!
Great advice @Padraigharrington and very relevant to my current grip chance. And thank you for the improved audio 🙏🏻👏🏻🏌🏼♂️
Mahalo Padraig for such an honest and comprehensive explanation of the proper grip.
