Some not so typical swings from Padraig Harrington

He had an injury, so I guess he's working his way through that, but here are three totally different full swings:

Dang, from the tease on the last one, I thought we'd see Harrington attempt the full running start Happy Gilmore swing again.

I just saw his swing (can't find vid online), but he lifts his left foot a bit (not as much as in the top video in the OP), and then walks through at the follow-through. Gotta say- it did look a bit Happy Gilmore, but still pretty well controlled. The Shackleford tweet is pretty much the swing I saw in the clip, although that looks like a different day/course. Padraig said it's very much like a drill many players do, so it's not that crazy. He says it relieves stress on his neck injury, as he said he has limited motion. 

Tied for the lead after 2 rounds- not too shabby (to quote Adam Sandler).

The first time I saw him do it, I thought he'd slipped and hit a shocker, but he's playing really, really well, so it must be alright! 

For any that aren't keeping up with the Scottish Open, definitely worth checking out; it's a great course and competition at the moment.

Terrible quality vid but you get the idea - pretty sure that's him right?

Unfortunately no one watches the Euro Tour, if this were the Open, you'd bet people at the range would be doing this.

wow, I haven't watched golf for such a long time. Didn't even know he made some dramatic changes. Thanks for the info!
