Padraig Harrington on Turning

Okay so I just wanted to show you something about the turn ptri did this whole uh this whole thing on on turning that I think’s really cool and let me start from the beginning Here so that’s Padre right that’s when he won the British Open right and he’s out here on tour and he’s doing tips on his shoulder turn now look the shoulders actually turn in this man so it’s like a pulling motion so watch when I turn my shoulders so I’m not

Trying to turn horizontally I’m trying to turn them up so my right shoulder’s coming up my left down now watch the structure when I turn okay nice turn there now remember I’ve let my hip go because if I kept my hip in place I’d have a shoulder turn like that’ be no

Use most golers want to get their shoulder at least to the golf ball or a little bit right watch I let my hip go you can see my shoulder turn okay now that shoulder turn if I actually bring it back and show you the structure that’s where I am that’s how much curve

And side Bend I have at the top of the back now what he means by that is this when he’s saying that he’s got this curve in Side Band like this what he’s referring to is this idea look if I if I wind up like I do like this right where

You see how I turn this way right if I unturn myself I’m really leaning like this look where I’m leaning so what he’s saying is while we’re turning we’re also trying to lean ourselves this way right toward the target now he goes on to tell some other stuff here too that’s pretty

Good too watch this and there you can see that’s so I started in a position SL but I side you see that he lean you see what he did he leaned this way and then turned you see that and so so this lean to the left

The right over the years they call this like also it’s like you’re you’re if you’re pulling on like a lawn mower around and show you that structure that’s how much it’s Bend side bend that much in the back okay so remember don’t turn vertically with your hips or

Horizontally with your hips or your shoulders turn up the right hip goes up the right shoulder goes up and you have a little bit of of side Bend like so and guess what as you move into your left side the shoulders your torso your spine down from here it’s very much the other

Way the back starting a lawnmower you see and so what I want to start today with is that idea John so like do this um if you were to get in your set up a moment just put your Club on the ground a second like

This and get set up and then if you were going to pull pull pull lawnmower or or like this with the right hand right you see how your right shoulder goes this way right and your back get it to where your back is facing the target there

Like that and now you feel how you’re leaning you’re kind of leaning this way right you’re not leaning over here you see what I’m saying do that one more time let me film that pull like like you’re pulling the lawn mower with that right yeah exactly that’s the shoulder turn that we’re

Talking about another way to think of it if you had a rope that was connected to a pulley on the ground and you pulled one part of the rope and then you pulled the other part of the Rope look right you see what that’s doing it’s making

You turn this way yeah exactly yes exactly that way and so just to give you kind of a different perspective on it today I wanted to talk about that little tip with Pottery but watch this if we if we look at what’s happening with you on

This one with your head right and your turn just a moment here right so look there notice how as you did this look what right you stayed but you still turned you see and so that would be something that you could also mix in to practice your turning right

Now the reality is what’s really happening here is you’re staying tilted this way so you have a tendency of wanting to go that way to your right right and so what we’re going to work on next is turning without moving off the ball so now
