Paddy is a great teacher. This is a very detailed and important video that shows how to use the hips in the golf swing. Tremendous information---
Yes, he definitely is great…Long rumored that he fell into a semi slump post Major wins because of exactly what you see in his videos…he’s a very intelligent guy, extremely analytical, sometimes that can really interfere with the flow of the swing. (The grip video is very good as well…No matter how long you play and what level you reach, it’s always easy to fall into bad habits with the grip…As he mentions, keeping that grip in the fingers frees up the forearms/wrists for more range of motion/hinge/speed)
I assume though that you mean that the info in the videos is good, but he has refined most of this since the semi slump and prior to making the videos?
The info is outstanding…I haven’t studied which parts of his game went south post 2008, but it could just as easily have been the increased self expectations following multiple majors…
Might also look into Blastmotion and Tour Tempo as you go along in the golf journey…Blastmotion basically measures backswing to downswing ratios in all areas of the game. Tour Tempo explains the philosophy behind these ratios with video evidence of tour players and their adherence to a 3:1 ratio…Paddy was an early follower of tour tempo https://blastmotion.com/products/golf/ https://tourtempo.com/
I like how in the still shot of this video, that you can see that his hips are pushing towards the target while the torso is actually moving away from the target.
