SHAFT LEAN at Impact | Paddy’s Golf Tips #43 | Padraig Harrington



In this lesson, I discuss the concepts of shaft lean and the release of the club. Pulling up on the club and putting on the brakes at impact, will help throw the clubhead through for the best and most efficient strike, whilst creating spin and distance.

  1. You just helped me incredibly. I have been a front arm dragger as a means of maintaining a square club face and it has led to hooks off the tee. Now I know why, thanks Paddy!

  2. Thank you champ. I really look forward to seeing your new videos. You give us so much insight.

  3. Thanks Paddy. I think that the front hand is creating centripetal acceleration? It is pulling the clubhead towards some centre?

  4. I've seen nobody talk about putting the brakes on to create a pendulum effect on the club and I've been watching YouTube golf teachers for 4 years. My thanks Padraig.

  5. Something eye opening to me was watching the gears data on pros and seeing that they actually make impact with their hands closer to their back hip. The whole shaft lean lag thing is all from hip drive and rotation. They just delay the strike point by driving to the front side and opening up. There isn’t a single pro who drags the handle

  6. The quality of instruction is amazing when you are not obsessed with earning money by finding something new to say twice a week . Youake it so simple and relevant Paddy
    Thx

  7. Hallo Padraig, could you make a video about the release of the right ellbow ?

  8. You don’t know how good it is to hear this. Should be sent to all golf coaches!

  9. When you say, “pull”; are thinking about pulling your hands or with your shoulders and back? And, are you trying to pull the butt of the grip towards the ball?

  10. Common sense instructions from padraig, now if you can just come to Carlisle and have a look at my whole golf swing and technique I'm sure to break 90/80!top banana sir!

  11. This will help my driving so much. An absolute brilliant explanation of the golf swing. The very best of luck at LACC Padraig and an early congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers. Thanks for this wonderful lesson

  12. All of this makes sense but it's not gonna work if the club golfer approaches impact with an open clubface (whether it's via a weak grip or cupped left wrist).

  13. Amazing! Thank you for this…now just wish I could get back all those hours spent practicing trying to hold the angle’s through impact.

  14. Another masterclass, Mr. Harrington. It is rare that a Hall of Fame level major championship winner has enthusiasm like yours to teach the masses. Respect. 🙌🙌
