shoots a 67 today and just about confirms to me that his swing change is complete and he is back to the form which saw him win 3 major titles and i am expecting him to add to that number next year! nice to see one of my favourite players returning to his best form!

I love paddy too, but the one shot i saw him hit today was a chunked wedge approach shot... i don't know if he's actually all the way back, he seems to still hit some surprisingly bad shots.

Not a big Paddy fan, but he was cool when I followed him on Tuesday. He hit some good shots during the practice round.

In terms of professionalism he is possibly unsurpassed. Its pretty incredible for Harrington to be a multiple major winner with a chance for a lot more. To go from being second place sally, to major winner, to multiple major winner, to back to back open champion and he didnt have an easy time of it with family issues to contend with.

His performances in recent weeks indicate he is back and got knows what he will be capable of.

McIlroy could be a multiple major winner too. Good times for Irish golf.

Being Irish, I follow Padraig all the time, and I thought he'd blown it when he went after a new swing. It's great to see him back in the groove - regardless of the two recent disasters. I'd like to see him learn some patience though. Before he won his first major he was in a great position in the British Open and then again in the US Open, and decided he had to make birdies - he blew it as a result. Exactly the same happened at the par three in the USPGA - he feels he has to make a move.

Consider his much acclaimed 2nd shot at the 17th in the final round of the British Open last year. A huge shot to three feet for an eagle... and the Claret Jug was his. It was a brilliant shot, but it hopped a bunker and it wasn't necessary to be so aggressive. Patience, Paddy, patience

I was mildly disappointed with Paddy's year. Though working in his swing change, he had 3 top ten finishes, however, I was hoping for more. I put Paddy right up there with Tiger and Phil. When Tiger changed his swing during his "bad" year in 2004, he had 13 top ten finishes and 1 win. I have Paddy winning one of the upcoming Fedex tourneys. Either way, his swing change is seemingly done. Hopefully, Paddy keeps up his momentum in Europe after the Fedex series is done.

Another amazing thing about the ultra-driven guys like Paddy and Tiger is that they will change their swings to improve - even after years like Paddy had in '08 and Tiger in '01, '02, and '03!

He still makes a habit of it more than a top tour pro does.

Is he improving from the beginning of the year... absolutely...

Padraig wins a major next year. He will be the first of the Tiger chasers to get past the three major mark.

Being Irish as well, it's great to see Paddy back playing well again. He's a great ambassador for Ireland and golf. If only he'd stop tinkering so much with his swing!

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
