In the sixth Paddy’s Golf Tips video in the series on helping every golfer achieve a single figure handicap, I now move on to clubface control as it is important to know where the face is at impact. I provide a number of practise drills to find out where you are striking the ball on the clubface, then how to develop a square clubface by exaggerating the opposite through hitting hooks and slices, then draws and fades.

Woohoo! I was waiting for this one. Thank you 🐐
North of the arctic circle we are going into a 6-7 month break from golf right now, please finish this series by may 2025 i want to Achieve Single Figure Handicap right when the season starts. Thanks
Thank you for hitting one off the toe, I feel a little better about my round today ❤
This is gold. I have struggled with leaving the face too open with my follow through not being timed right. lots of weak fades especially on the longer irons.
Paddy has mentioned this in the past but the whole concept of try to shut the face and hit a hook and try to find the balance has worked out.
Not quite there yet but was able to hit some tight draws with the longer irons. Practice and more practice
Athletes foot spray also works for seeing the point of contact
Yes lad keep em coming!
Keep it simple, Paddy 👍🏻 🍀
Playing my whole life, and I think most of my issues come from loose hands and wrists.
I know it’s all about clubhead SPEED, but the more speed I strive for, the less control of (square) face I get. 🙄
What do you do if you don’t stay down on the ball? Too often when I am on the golf course, I top the ball. Is there a swing thought or a change to think about when you start topping the ball? I especially do this with fairway woods.
Those exaggerated hooks and slices also help with scrambling under trees and stuff too. I always found that part of the game really fun because you get to be creative, and it's rewarding to pull off.
Video on how to stop chunks?
In what previous video did he say “elbows in”? I dont remember that.
Sage advice. This has helped me immensely.
Awesome stuff
Is it the same system with the driver?
i swear this is a repeat of an old video
Hi Paddy , great content as usual , luvin the videos , but can you please show more angles , with the camera set behind you , so we can see your shots ?
It's great what your doing with your channel 👏
Paddy. Been following your tips with great success and managed to reduce my handicap but struggle with the dreaded shank eve now and then which destroys my confidence.. I believe I am coming too much from the inside?
But he’s releasing head on everyshot. Most amateurs x don’t release
Once , just once I’d like someone who teaches golf to have the balls to take an habitual hacker and get them down to a respectable handicap say a 12 /15 , no one will though because the sad truth is for most of us hackers there’s no hope 😢
Wow, that is such weird and wonderful advice! I'm got to try this out.

Awesome as always. Look forward to seeing the “ path “ you mention building with the videos. Amazing you’re doing all this at no cost. People’s champion, Paddy, thank you!
Hola Paddy, great channel, of all the instructors on youtube you got the most integrity by far.
Q: What about the stack and tilt system?
Would be interesting to hear your take on that. The best players can shallow the club, release the hips, move the weight etc etc, and we all want to play like the best players, but most of us recreational players stay double figure thru our golfing careers. In other words; could it be that what youtube is teaching us are a bit too difficult for anybody who did not start playing golf at a very young age?
Hence the stack and tilt. Could you do one on it? Thanks
CLASS.
Plain and Simple.
If only the rest of these posers with their overmechical crap would go away!
@ 2:45 lies the problem for most recreation golfers: they never put themselves in the hips open, back foot slightly raised IMPACT position during their set-up and alignment and if ask “show me where you want to be at impact” it wouldn’t look anything like that.
I discover this when helping a friend new to golf who did have a clue how the swing worked so the first thing I did was posed them statically in the same position you are in at 2:47 — the pro impact position — then had them reverse up to the top of the backswing then back down again to “the pro impact position” until their conscious brain “Oh that’s the goal!” and their reflexes (aka muscle memory) got in sync. Then I put balls down and let them get in the way. What had been a chronic open face slice became hooks to the left until I showed them how to extend in the finish 😊
This is brilliant stuff. The essence of it is easy, full of movement and therefore understandable
