I love your guys’ videos and this is how I learned to play golf freshman year and am now a junior in high school thank you guys for having amazing videos!
Great Samson! Happy we are helping.
Meandmygolf 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻It’s even cooler I got a reply from you guys most channels don’t even respond thanks for caring about your viewers Andy and Piers!
Low check spinner is the hardest one for me
The pitch from a tight lie that has to carry a bunker or carry anything and stop quickly.
This exactly. You’d imagine these are the ‘feel’ shots but rely so heavily on perfect technique. I’d love to see the quick short nipper and the flop shot – or convince me to play sideways!
Thats where the flop shot comes in handy, hard shot to master but once your somewhat confident with it.. oh my its helped me out so much
That is hardly possible.
Courney Hallcy I hate that shot. Because you have to hit it hard enough to get out of the grass and over the sand but how do you stop it? I always end up way past the flag.
Play ProV1 and you can stop it
what i needed!!!!
My biggest problem from 50yds and in is that my name isn’t Piers or Andy. That and the 5 strokes it took prior to that.
My long, lost twin…
… and that is just on the par 3 ? 😉
The things that is tough for me is that I’m left of target on those shots (40–70 yards). With the 80+ my stance is more open and it is really easier. For the 60 minus shots my stance is more closed and I tend to pull them…very anoying !!!
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi you’re my only hope 😉
Can you give some tips for keeping score under pressure while making good score in competitions. Half of the time I play the first nine even par but end up with something like 78. Last week my first nine was ‑3 and back nine +11… (half of it was because of pressure and the otger half because of fatigue)
Same thing happens to me a lot
Having to carry a bunker onto a shallow, wide green. Flop shots with a sharp wedge are hard to judge proper swing strength to get accurate distance control even with a good ball lie. But the cure is probably just more practice! haha
Cory Nolan Pitch shots are probably the most difficult shot in golf to master. Especially in thick grass, water or sand in front and the pin is cut close to the edge of the green.
Pitch shot, 10–30 yrds, over a bunker without a ton of room to run on the green.
Samuel Lewis Probably the hardest shot in the game to perfect.
Putting
Pitch shot 5 yards off the green and the lie is uphill
I struggle with controlling distance. Always way to short or long. Also to much more roll.
Think about the speed and how you create it. Don’t Accelerate too much allow for a smoother swing
Meandmygolf thank you I will try that.
With this shot, are we aiming directly at the pin, or just trying to be on the green, or aiming to be a certain circle diameter around the hole? What would you suggest
Bucky Barnes a pin on a very narrow part of the green with bunkers in front might be very risky to attack. Choose the safe play unless you’re really feeling it
That depends on the green and trouble around not really. Sometimes a safe spot on the green is fine.
Long range pitch shots were the only thing I was good st when I first started playing lol. It was the close short pitches that took me years
The high flop over a bunker with a pin barely on the green
We have this going live next week Zach.
The hardest shot for me is at my home course, a short chip uphill onto an elevated green. It is very difficult to get the ball up and over the hill and to keep it short to the flag
I struggle the most on a green side 20 yard chip. Short sided over a hill downhill.
any pitch that has to stop quickly. Thanks for your help!
This shot is an automatic shank for me. No matter how close to the ball, how far from the ball, middle of my stance, back of my stance, forward in the stance. Shank. Hosel rocket. With either 58 or 54 degree. Any idea about what’s going on?
Barry McCormick if you’re shanking the ball, chances are you’re coming in from the inside too much with an open face, leading with that hosel. Check out Jason Days pitching technique and give that a try.
Barry McCormick I did that here and there for a while and I changed a few small things, while I was actually trying to correct a slice with my driver, and they actually worked for my tee shots so I gave them a try with my wedge and I haven’t hit one since…okay maybe one lol. I will find the video and send u the link.
Barry McCormick Here it is:
https://youtu.be/8yOxfcq7zuw
One last thing I would check out is your shaft lean and how far away the club is from you during the swing. I don’t want to just rain random tips on you and make your problem worse so I hope that video will help ya out like it did me. Good Luck man
I know it’s been 6 months, but I’d say to make damn sure that it’s actually a shank and not way off the toe. I was in the same boat as you and this whole time I thought I was shanking them because with my driver I have a tendency to hit it out of the heel, but in actuality it was too steep of a swing, and was actually a toe strike.
Intentionally try to hit it with the toe. That always ends the s word for me.
Blading green side chip shots
I struggle actually with full swing wedge shots. I always seem to misshit those and I’m not sure why
justin nolan confidence. Go to the range with only two clubs and hit a large bucket of balls. Invision a 10 foot circle around the flag
Low 30 yarder bouncing it up
driving, i always over shoot the green
You’re not supposed to use your driver on the par 3’s mate.
The 25 yd chip from a tight lie that has some check please
green side bunkers
50 yard bunker shot. Especially if you have to carry most of it!
Randhir Singh try using a 9 or 8 iron on that shot. Open the face a little bit and hit it like a normal bunker shot. You’d be surprised at how well it works.
Mr. Surly I do that too. It works well.
Bunker shots
I struggle with the touchy shots out of the rough onto the green. I am talking about when you need to land the ball a few feet from where you are hitting it. Either I duff it or it goes long.
50 yard fairway bunker shot to a front pin that you can’t bounce on..
putter
Great video. Exactly what I needed. TY.
Hope it helps Joe.
Nice video guys 👍
Thanks
Long bunker shots 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I have a pitching wedge and a lob wedge, just come down to 33 from 36 handicap, do I need 54/56 deg wedges?
I’d say yes. Most ppl would have one more sand wedge (~56) and maybe an approach wedge (~52).
I’ve introduced a 50 & 60 to my set as my sand is 55, they’ve made a big difference to my game and save me a couple of shots a round (I’m 33 at present too, but getting better each round)
Yes get the lofts ‚measured and see what caps you need to fill.
Short pitch shots over a bunker to a tight green, always intimidating when looking straight at that bunker
Robert C Yeah. I usually end up either in the bunker or going way past the hole. So frustrating.
Can you go over green-side pitch shots from a bad lie? How do you make good contact while controlling distance?
About the pitch over a bunker to a close cut pin, for most of we’re not gonna get this one up and down. I’ve stopped trying to play this one too fine. My goal is always to just get it on the short grass with a reasonable putt. If I try to get too fine, for every time I get it close there are 10 times when I chunk it into the bunker, skull it across the green or get a bad bounce/spin even from a ball perfectly struck and landed. For the shot that they’re demonstrating, I’d be aiming 6–8 feet left of the flag.
Phil Mickelson can play this shot because he’s practiced it 50,000 times.
If you can give yourself a putt then that’s decent over time you will make more!
Long 30+ yard shot from bunker.
We have this shot going live on our website next week.
Great video! I struggle with making a pitch shot stay low and spin..
I struggle most with the shot that’s just about 5 yards off the green. Tend to thin it over or leave it short.
Not committing and decelerating through impact
Hi Ben. It is very rare that we see many golfers not accelerate. There is usually a different problem causing a poor strike. Angle of attack usually.
In a bunker that needs to stop quick
I struggle on my bunker shots.
Tight downhill lie over water to an elevated green that needs to hit and sit about 45 yards
G KAGE I hate downhill lies. It’s hard to get underneath the ball for good height. Uphill lies are a lot funner and easier.
All my shots, my wedges are not the same as the set
50–70 yds with about 50 yds carry – that video might just have done it. Superb as always 😉
Thanks Colin.
i find chip and runs rather difficult. what club to choose and have enough roll since my balls tend to have quite a bit of spin, but also the power aspect. 5 cm more backswing and the ball flies 3 m longer.
FlashTheEagle .
Piers can you find a more straighter brimmed hat?? Still crying yourself to sleep?
I struggel with the direction, most shots is on the right site off target. If i dont pull it.
On the video it looks like your swing plane is left on target.
Over a hazard with a short pin so little green to work on. Maybe 20–40 yards away with water/bunker etc. in the way
Sebastian Wänkkö Very difficult shot to perform
Hitting it thin or skulling the ball so its a line drive type of shot rather than a normal pitch
With this shot are you contacting the ground with the leading edge or the bounce and do you use more wrists or more body? Oh and what club did you use please and amount of bounce? Thanks…
>10 yard chip onto a ~5ft raised green, we have a lot of them at my club and they always cause me hassle trying to stop it on the green
please help with the downhill, barely any grass pitch shot. It’s the worse part of my game!
Im 16 and have been playing golf for almost a year and i shot my personal best of 85 thanks to you guys so i would like to say thank you for helping me improve my game
Tough time taking a divot and getting a good strike so it checks with some spin… been “scooping” it
My struggle is from 50 to 100 yards. I’m a nice easy pitching wedge at 150 yards and I’m having to use a half swing gap wedge for my 100 yard shot anything under that I’m playing in the dark.
same here
Great info guys. I get razzed by fellow players for my practice swings. I feel it helps me concentrate but maybe I take too long. Any advise on this? I usually just tell them to piss off!
Chipping from rough from about 30 yards from thick lies . Hard to know how its going to react
CRGalaxy7 Yeah it is. I either duff it or go 30–40 feet past. I quit playing golf. It’s too frustrating for me.
Turn , brush , turn. Like it!
my site reviews golf equipment. you can take a look
https://topgolfgears.com
Green side chip on a tight lie hard to get under it without hitting it hard
Either fat it or shank it
Andy and Piers, do you guys play any professional events at all anymore?
Not any more David. We love our coaching.
I’m still very inconsistent with chips from right around the green. I tend to hit them thin right over the green.
Pitching and Chipping YIPS then thinning the ball across the green !!! HELP!!!!
A high – stop shot. Mine are low and rolling..
Spieth and many guys on the tour do not hit wedges like that. That is a lot of face rotation through a small shot. They tend to open/close face with pivot and rotation of upper body while keeping hands and arms very calm.
5:15 onwards. Says he uses his upper body to rotate.
The point here is about how to control the club face not so much about how to rotate. Also, duh? What else would you use to rotate?
You can keep your body completely still and flick your wrist for rotation or you can keep your wrists completely still and use you body for rotation these are 2 xtreams i know but there are 2 different ways.
I always kept the shoulders square and thinned nearly every one. Now I drop the right shoulder, yes it goes high but I almost never hit it skinny. For high handicappers we have a different success factor, as many have said just getting on the green is a win. I reaise that I should practice and improve my technique but if you saw my tee shots you would know what the priority is!
50 yards from the bunker
Tight tie, downhill or side hill lie over a trap or water.
Solid info!
If I had the “skip & check” in my arsenal, I could pare 5–10 strokes off per round
I struggle with the 50 foot putt…
John Derington Just try to lag the ball to within a 3–4 foot circle envisioned around the hole. More than likely, you’re not going to sink the 50 footer. So just try to leave it in a good enough place to make your next one.
This shot is what I’d like to see more on! How does this tie in (or not) with the gravity arm drop???? Watched gravity arm drop earlier in week, but still coming up short at 50 yards? My grip is too light? Not rotating body? I’m confused – the gravity arm drop is excellent but how that fits (or not) with the 50 yard shot, for me, is my struggle. I realize it varies by player, arm drop technique / distance. But what needs to change, regardless of yardage for the individual, when we find that we can’t reach our intended distance with the gravity arm drop??? Go to a half swing? Less lofted club?
Bunker shots that are right next to the hole and Chip shots that are uphill
chips about ten yards from the green
Hi Andy and Piers, I struggle specifically with my pitch shot from 50 yards and in. Aside from the occasional pure strike or bladed strike, I make fairly good contact and hit good shots. However, I have trouble gauging my distance and power. I tend to overshoot my pitch shot and either run off the green or stop it long and leave myself with a long putt for either birdie or par. Any suggestions?
The toughest shot for me is the 20 or 30 yd tight lie pitch on very soft ground.
I’d say the hardest 50-yard and in shot for me, is from a fairway bunker close to the green.
Worst outfits in golf. I mean look at the belts! Who the hell dresses you guys?
Hit a bump and run that lands short and runs up to a back pin. Small landing area near pin and trouble over the green
Brian Kinread Bump and run is easy with a back pin. Pretty hard if not impossible with a front pin and a hazard in front.
What’s the difference between British and American golf instructors? Brits talk too much and tend to be masterfully condescending.
60–80 yards
Ball above the feet…from 50+ ?
ouchie so difficult
Just off the green, trash just off the green
I struggle chipping over a bunker to a tight pin especially on a tight lie
Fat and thin bunker shots.… no confidence in the stroke, How hard do we go,at the shot?
Often shank a 30/40 yard shot when trying to run it in
putting
green side bunker shots
This was very informative!!!!
The pitch from a thick rough that is 10 to 20 yards out.
That shot is actually one of my best shots. I hit about 30 of them at the range when I practice. My worst shot from 50 yds is from that bunker you’re standing next to. HELP!
Really useful guys. If anything I tend to pull my pitch shots left. Any tips for that? I feel the rotation would send it further left?!
Spilling my BEER!!!!!
50 yd carry onto downhill sloping green with downhill lie. Hate that shot.
Mates, Love the vids.. so much valuable translateable tips, much appreciated in about 3 weeks I’ve been able to take your vid tips and go from a 110 to a 90. Thank you! It’s making this game fun for me! and I’m keeping up with the better of my golf mates. Some are starting to ask me what I’ve been doing. LOL I tell them you’re my secret. Cheers
I struggle with 10–15 yard chips
Another lovely video! Thanks for the insight.…
Thanks, you explained this so clearly. Cant wait for the rain to stop!
Do you have a video on bunker shots? I have a lot of trouble with bunkers.
Sand shot is my toughest. A sand save is basically a unicorn or a Sasquatch…a mythical thing that sounds good but never seen.
Stop dress the same. Its ridicules.
Judging where to aim a shot that’s severely below or above your feet.
Mr. Surly Below your feet aim to the left because it will slice and above the feet aim right because it will hook. Practice to find out how much or how little to aim to the left or right.
1 yard
I make most of my birdies from the 40–50 yard range on 2nd/3rd shots on short Par 4s or Par 5s which I can’t reach in 2(or when i think it is too risky) and I always take quite a divot from the shot by driving it down with shaft lean and a slightly opened club face, that allows me to always get the 1 hop and stop, or spin it back of a slope or get it to stop quickly on downhill or downwind, also it helps me control the distance well as it is an aggressive strike through the ball which is a good way to control distance.
Do many golfers mix and match brands of clubs? As a newbie, I’m hoping that the G30 driver will suit me as I bought the G30 irons and would like a matching set purely for aesthetics.
I appreciate your input!
https://topgolfgears.com/best-golf-drivers-for-seniors.html
The bump and run, basically a putting stroke but not suitable for a putter. I have had the ‘yips’ for three years. At the moment the only way I can deal with this is to reverse my grip, left below right. Sometimes works, sometimes thin it…HELP!
Thanks for a really helpful instruction video.
If you go by the ball tracer, the “correct” shot looked much worse than the first one that was “incorrect”.
I somehow end up hitting a flop shot and leaving it 10–15 yards shorts
Part of my problem is a misunderstanding of my hands on the takeaway and finish. When do you set you wrists and where are the artists /hands at finish?
Bump and run from 50yds. How can I avoid thinning or hitting it fat on a tight lie? Also, avoiding a lazy short shot with that longer iron. Thanks guys, you rock.
A high pitch from 30 yards is what I struggle with the most. I always go over or blade it.
A 30 yard pitch is a very small shot, distance wise. That means your lower body should be very still. Theres no need for weight transfer and all that mumbo jumbo. This should give you a stable base to hit a precise shot. If you are still blading it means your hands are too active in the swing. For me 60 yards on a 58 deg is a half swing and I use zero wrist cock. With a 30 yard pitch also same, no wrist cock. Just keep the hands passive and for me i take the club almost square to the target line. Depending on your swing, it may feel like the backswing is a little outside.
Another way it imagine is like a normal chip shot with a larger backswing.
How to pitch the ball and make it high
Lol I’d take that first shot tbh
Like to see hitting out of the rough with higher grass around the green.
Your garage (and ebay page) must be full of golf kit.
guys, i can use this and it will help. thnx, steve
FFS Hit the feckin ball and stop rabbitting !!!!
I duff the ball alot
50 yard bunker shot
I modify this shot up to 150 yrds. This is half my game.. thanks
Hi i tend to get to handsy/ wristy on these shots on the backswing /downswing? What is a good drill /habit to get into? Is it about connection. body turn etc?
There is no movement in golf that can not be made more difficult through diligent study and practice.
“There is no movement in golf that can not be made more difficult” is the most difficult sentence to read
😄
Lol
Thought it was just me. I had to read it a few times… and I still don’t get it
Dash Eight golf is hard pretty much is what he is saying
Are they actually wearing AP watches?
WHY is it that maintaining right knee flex is never mentioned, esp for us higher handicappers? I used to lock my right knee during my weight shift during the backswing. This led to multiple problems of hitting fat, skulling the ball, etc. I know now NOT to do this but only after struggling so many years. Perhaps you could include this critical flaw that occurs in the iron game for so many of us. It compounds itself during delicate pitch shots.
What KILLS a round for me: I’m over 70 and so on longer holes often have to lay up safely to about 50 yards, hopefully taking the green side bunkers out of play. Part two of that idea is to chip onto the green as close as I can and maybe 1‑putt for par, worst case bogey. Seems simple enough, but way too many times I hit my wedge thin, blade it, the ball rockets over the green into another bunker, or worse, I’m lying 3 and looking at a triple. Two or 3 of those destroys your score. HELP!!!
I hit most of my shots with a pull hit that go left away from the flag .
How to master the 50yrd pitch shot.
Rule #1 Don’t leave yourself 50yrds
Rule #2 See rule number 1.
Rule #3 Crack a beer and enjoy the day!
Yes can you stop chatting and just show geez how about you do the video with one of you not the pair too much talking
Lob wedge over a bunker in wet conditions,
The biggest problem with this shot is the quality of the course. So many courses in this area have dead grass/dirt in and around the greens that you cannot hit quality shots, even in the summer. When you do have fluff, it is rather easy with a 64 degree wedge.
Put that ball in the rough
You guys make simple things really complex. Why introduce the trackman stats?
Sounds like this is being played at 1.25!
Bunkers with high lips
A lot of shank please help
is it standard practice on these shots to not have the feet line up to the target? i thought that was always a staple of the stance no matter what. i could understand since the ball is going to roll of a high lofted wedge a lot more so your feet would point left of the target but some clarification would be appreciated
Down hill lie bunker shots.
Challis Raider Very hard to do
This plus I’ve learned that you can’t be too open with stance and shoulders on this shot. Helps immensely
My golf game is so weird. I can hit my pitches inside 75 yards right on the green about every time. But when I go back 100+ years I shank it every time.
Are you using a full swing speed i.e. at 90–100% ? What youre describing is a loss of control on club path and face angle because you’re trying to swing faster with a longer shot and the swing is breaking down beyond a certain speed.
Inside the scoring range which is around 140 yards and in I always use around 80% speed and my yardages are calibrated as such. That gives me a swing that is controllable and gives more accuracy. If i need more distance I club up. Think of it as a precision shot.
I see that the pitch was going left to right, would you aim more left if the pin was more left?
I would like to see the different options when the ball is close to the green but way below the green’s surface. Should a golfer pitch, putt, use a hybrid, etc. to get the ball close to the hole. Basically, the green is 6 feet above you or more. Thanks. Very helpful videos!
Jeff Bruhl It’s hard but if you can do the bump and run, that’s probably your best bet.
Simple and brilliant!
What’s the difference between a chip and a bump and run?
A full shot – are gravy, yet half shots, and club # plays, are more interesting.
4:28 is where it actually starts
For real how long can they blabber before they get to the point
@Unphiltered This has been the primary reason why I cant learn from vids. They bore me to death before the tips come in
Thank you!
Also the, wearing the same clothes annoys the life out of me
Way too much talking and spec talk. I need help and ins
tructional help only.
My biggest struggle is from 25 yards in. I use everyhing from my gap, SW, lob, 8 iron bump and run, Nothing really gives me confidence. Biggest hole in my game. Love the vids btw 👍
Eddi1264 watch Phil mickelson 3 tips chipping/ pitching … very simple and effective
how often. do you practice that shot?
Eddi1264 I’ve always struggled with pitching because it’s not a full swing. I’m really good with a full sand wedge swing from 100 yards but I hate being 50–70 yards away. I either hit it too hard, too short or I end up duffing it fat.
@tchevrier not enough unfortunately
I have a hard time with chips from 25 yards in
Search “Kevin Kinser fixes”
Talking to much
I think the trick is to dress the same as your partner.
Tried to join with the 7 day free trial and it kept asking for a coupon code and wouldn’t let me join. Hmmm… creating some doubts.
Half swing 9 or full swing pitch wedge with a pivot
My problem is bad tempo and always hitting it thin or fat. How do you practice the shoulder rotation and let the chest turn.The stress is often blocking my shots. I’m a 6 handicap with no wedge play.… 🙁
normally i pitch from greenside with my lob wedge. when it ’s 50 yards like this i just use the same greenside pitch stroke – keeping arms straight using body rotation – with my sand wedge which is simply my next longest club. i’m not going to win or lose a green jacket so, it is what it is.
toughest shot from inside 50 yards? heavy rough chip or short pitch from inside 20 yards.
Guys, by far one of the better videos you’ve made. You did not talk about the shaft lean, de-lofting the club…all of those negative things that “you shouldn’t do” but focused on the positives of what you should do ‑focus on the setup! Anyone can identify with the example of the typical golfer, but being able to duplicate a reasonable effort with a poor set-up demonstrates real talent, kudos! I am guilty of helping the ball in the air and more often than not duffing the chip, UGGH! I liked Andy’s description of how the club interacts with the ball and the ground generating spin without smashing the ball. You don’t have to hit it hard, just crisply, that energy transfers into the ball generating spin. I have put my pride on the shelf and have been taking lessons which has dramatically improved my results. Grip, Setup, & Intention. Thanks Guys ‑Love your work
after a miss pitch and landing on the 2nd cut of thick fringe 15 feet to a pin
You’ll be of more service if you cut your video time down, stop talking, get immediately to the tips because the video titles are self explanatory. If people are going to watch a YouTube video for instruction they want the answer
The best part of my game is definitely within the 50-to-60-yard range with the lower irons and wedges. That said, I still struggle with the occasional inconsistency so this was extremely helpful.
Do you Lean your wedge forward? I see a lot of seniors do this.
50–100 im having trouble =( any tips
yes – get a coach !
I don’t usually troll, so forgive me. First of all, you can start watching at 2:00 mark. And it really starts ~ 4:15. If you stick around, it gets even more boring. Talk about the set-up, blah blah. Whatever. At least their clothes always match.
Mine is no touch I’m either short or long
My biggest struggle is the 10–20 yard to the green! Keep on duffing the darn ball!
Some guys play the ball too far back & it makes them feel safer but it tends to to encourage the club to de-loft with hands leading the club – try a more neutral position with ball nearer the middle of your stance & keep the club vertical – it has plenty of loft to do the job
@ravvers00 Agreed. On these short shots you also need to think about a shallow angle of attack, which can be achieved by not breaking the wrists.
What should I do if I’m 5 yards or less outside of the green? Just putt it?
I suck with a 60° I either too it. Dig a 10ft hole with the club or get solid contact but the shot flops 5 ft in front of me
they spend much more time saying what not to do than what to do, the other thing.… they never shut up.
Which club is best to use 60, 56,52?
Flop shots are my weakness.
what club yall using 60?
My biggest struggle is 10 yds off the green
Why are your feet so open to the left? Does the ball naturally fly off to the right in these situations?
Best round for two months after watching this ! Have really struggled lately with the 50–60 yard range & just needed a reminder on how to play it – boom – nett 62 – & i’m usually a poor winter golfer but boy I played the pitch shot so well today thanks guys
I tend to either skull it or dubb it
Hitting off soft/wet ground. Bump and run, open club face like bunker shot or go hard fat…
I dont have the belief in hitting down..
“How to master the 50 yard pitch shot”?
Well it starts by not watching a video or buying a new club. It starts and ends with lots of practice.
I’m not sure if you’re still reading this but I struggle with the uphill shot over a bunker from 40 yards in, especially off a tight lie
FFS! Guys all this attack angle RPM launch angle etc is just utter bullshit! My suggestion watch Chris Ryan & Thingy Ballard Brilliant common sense teaching skills!
Ahhhh my coaches 👌👌👌😎
Too much time spent on “what not to do.”
In your videos you should do a summary of the key points
How do you stop that pitch shot from a bad lie with very little green to work with and hazards in front???????????
These guys say the most obvious things
Iron
Made a 30yrd pitch birdie using this vlog teaching. Thanks for the lesson 🙂
I struggle when I need to use my lob wedge for this 50 yard shot
How do you stop a pitch shot from a flier lie? I can stop my shot pretty well from the fairway. However, when I’m in thick rough, it’s nearly impossible to stop it and I always end up at least 25–30 feet past.
50 yards out of the rough is toughest
Appreciate the video, but i have a feeling that you are not really teaching your viewers anything. I mean first of all, you didn’t address how to position your body, which club to use, gripping and so on. I use the 56 club for that distance and sometimes I chip with divots and hence my ball doesn’t land on the green. I understand the club must be behind the ball in order to scoop the ball but what if the ground is too wet what do you do?
What iron are you using?
I like the reference to lush and tight lies. With tight lies I tend to get nervous about the shot unless I really commit to it – which I probably should do all the time!
you guys are so spot on! only been golfing 6months an what your teaching is real! i’ve hit 10feet from the hole at 50+ yards just by doin this.
Since I have stood up on my PW 50 years and in after watching this video my short game has improved 10 fold. Thank you.
Lifting body at toeing it 100 yards!
25–35 yards is the hardest…most of the time couldn’t figure out which technique is the best to use, chipping or pitching?
that “poor” shot example i would take 10 out of 10 tries.
Stupid question – ‘pitch shot’ from 50yards…yet using a 60 degree lob wedge. When would you use the pitching wedge?!
Phil Mickleson said the golf ball should never be central…?
Fluffy lies around the green when you cant use the bounce on chips shots.
chipping
Flop shots and lob wedges are the most difficult in golf
Great video guys. I think the key is to understand your distances with each of your wedges on different swing lengths. I find the ‘11–1‘ technique is working quite well, while using a launch monitor to understand these different distances you can take note of the average and use this on the course.
@Tim McGrath Hi Tim, this is something Rick Sheilds covers in one of his videos. Go check out his channel 👍
@BABowden Ok thanks, I’m familiar with Rick. Just need to find that needle in the haystack video!!
@Tim McGrath it’s called PITCHING DISTANCE CONTROL FOR 30–100 YARDS
@BABowden Thanks I’ll check it out 🙂
@BABowden Yep, ok …yes I understand. I do this alredy and it’s really effective. Thanks!
Way too much talk and not enough demo.
Putting, chip with spin
I’d been struggling with my pitch shots for a couple of weeks and couldn’t understand what was going wrong despite the fact that I knew the importance of turning the chest on this type of shot. The concept of swinging inside the target line (effectively across the chest) after impact has made a huge difference and suddenly I’m pitching okay again. I wish all fixes could be made so quickly. So thank you to “me and my golf” for posting such an informative video.
What is the gadget there to record swing angle and RPM etc.?
All my pitches are very low.. and stingers.. and when I try to slow down I only hit 20 yards..
I would use my 59° club and that sends it really high and dead on the spot
Low spinning wedge
I struggle with this shot when I am hungover.
Here’s the best tip that you don’t have to watch the video – to hit near perfect 50 yarders…are ya ready ?
Find a driving range with a 50 yd marker and hit at least 2,000 balls at it !
I would like to know what iron you are using and whether you use open clubface at setup? Thank you.
I think he says it’s a 58* wedge. I think they also explain it’s a neutral setup, so not open to the target line.
@EH thanks
I have a 50, 54, and 60 degree wedge. I have a hard time hitting with with aggression and tend to decelerate on 50–60 yd shots.
looks like you hit the ball to the same place seems a little fake
nice, but a bit of slow motion of the swing would be helpful, taken from 2 angles.
These guys should be better golfers
It’s hard for me to decide if it’s A 60 wedge or pitching
I just took this technique on the range for the first time and I was shocked bu how simple and effective it was. My short game has never been consistent and I stuck 15/20 shots right where I wanted them! Thank you for the help!
Sometimes my flop shot (40 yard) goes straight right
How do I spin from that point I can judge my distance on carry but always roll out of green or get spin going of target when landing any tips please
What club are you using
100 yards and in approach shots.
Easier said than done for me. Nice video, thanks. I will give this a try. Tight lies are a little scary for me.
Just for clarification please: why descending strike? Should we not use the bounce and sweeping move? Thanks.
Great content guys, thank you! My hardest shot is a downhill lie to a raised green across a valley from 50–100 yards – how do you get it close?
This set up has helped a ton. Now couple this with keeping the club head plane on the same path as the line towards the hole during the back swing, and wow what a result.
How to ‘master’ any shot: Practice. I thank you.
No u
Won’t he be brushing just in front of the ball?
Brushing the ground: The key!!!
If you want to see some pitch shots, there’s a video of Woods, Day, & Mcilroy together talking about their styles of hitting them & out of bunkers. It’s really interesting to hear them talk about & demonstrate their preferences. There’s a lot of conversation among them & it’s more like 3 friends talking than competitors who play against each other on a weekly basis. They’re actually hitting shots together rather than just doing it as an interview. Check it out.
Lately pitch shots as hit them with edge of club at times
Gruß an die Kameraführung. Die Schwünge müssen im Split-Screen DTL/FO gezeigt werden; diese Aufnahmen von der Seite taugen nichts (für jemand, der ein bißchen Ahnung hat). 5:51 turn-brush-turn? Nicht ganz; turn-TRANSITION (hitting-slot) ‑brush-turn; wir wollen doch kein tip-over. Ihr Jungs seid natürlich im Slot, keine Frage. 6:26 Zeigt der TrackMan den Schwungpfad nicht an? – Incroyable.
Ur mum
50 yard pitch with draw spin to get up an uphill rise in the green.
cant even release the club properly.
In this video, you talked & demonstrated about what NOT to do first and then you talked & demonstrated about what TO do but there was not side-by-side comparison clips at the end. In other videos, I have seen you edit the video by adding in a nice side-by-side comparison, that would have been helpful here. Great video just the same, thanks for putting this together for us 🙂
Flag on the near side of the green with a bunker between us. Terrifying, always.
Very good!
My shot alway go about 10’ left from 50yrds. 15’ left from 80/90and I can’t stop that!
strugle with 60–70 yards chip into green
Wayyyyyyyy too much blabby blab. get to the point! SHOW me, don’t tell me.….…
Agreed. They kept telling u what not to do and what other ppl do. Didn’t really show how to do it. What a waste of my time.
Chip over a bunker or uphill
I reckon this could save mid to high handicappers about 5–6 shots per round if they can putt in. Great video guys 👌🏽
Getting my aim correct. A lot of my pitches go left of where I think I’m aiming.
I struggle striking my 50yd pitches thin
