I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to watch, or just listen, without paying …..this is incredible information being dished out FREE FREE FREE!!! Outstanding TXG, can't thank you, and, of course, Gareth, enough for these short game videos...just outstanding gentlemen!! Thank you for sharing! hmmmm….no dart marks today Sir Matt!

This is too damn good. We don’t deserve you guys.

I thought the title said "Fighting wedges into the wind" and I definitely thought CAN RELATE! Lol

I agree this is one of the best videos yet! I would love a longer video from Ian and Matt focused on wind. For many of us in the US, 30mph happens but is rare. I’d love to see a video with impact of 5, 10, 15 mph winds. Those are much more normal conditions and I’d like to see impact into, with and cross winds. Maybe a series of videos? TXG videos are the best on KZfaq. I haven’t missed one in last couple months.

These last two videos with Gareth are pure gold. I’ve replayed them a couple of times with pencil and clipboard taking notes. It’s raining here or I would be out gapping wedges with my hands back!

Great video as always - I always struggle in the wind - its so hard to resist hitting harder as your whole brain is telling you to do just that. One more point though: Wind speed tends to increase from the ground up - at least up to a hundred feet or so. Its called the wind gradient. Ground friction tends to slow the flow down near to the ground and then as the friction effect get less higher up the flow is more laminar and faster. Hitting over the brow of a hill increases this effect - as a paraglider pilot we called this compression. The wind over a ridge gets compressed as it goes over the brow and so speeds up - just like river water speeding up through a narrows straight or "rapids". Some more reasons why golf is so damn complicated!

Thanks for bringing Garett to the party. I got more out of these last two videos on short game than my 60+ years of playing. Now to the range to practice.

Instructor series is fabulous. Knowledge and insight provided by Gareth is extremely helpful and valuable to all golfers. Well done TXG. There’s a reason you are the best. More sessions with Gareth please.

I was on the left side of the fairway yesterday with about 125 yd approach with a tree over hanging the fairway about 30 yds ahead of me. The branches were fairly high, but not high enough. I thought about this lesson and the concepts in it & put them to work. I stuck my PW to 4 feet & made birdie. Only bird of the day. Thank you gentlemen. That’s the shot that’s going to bring me back next round.

Usually my 'low-flighted' wedge shot travels head-high at the speed of light and finishes 100 yards past the green with a smiley face carved into the cover. Unfortunately they are neither deliberate, nor possess much stopping power on landing.

That was one of the most unbelievable, eye opening videos, I have ever seen! Great job!!!

Another brilliant lesson. Truly top quality from TXG and Gareth. Looking forward to the rest of the week.

Intellectually stimulating + course applicable = 👍👍👍

Much more of this! Best video on this subject. Ever.

This series is pure gold, i think everyone can take and implement these lessons. Love it!

This is now my favorite video from you guys. Super interesting and helpful. Well done guys!

How good is the advice from Gareth? Matt is a sponge and I really appreciate his honesty regarding his shot weakness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is proper learning , well done guys 👍

Boys, this is absolute gold dust. One of the best to date :)

Brilliant! So many lessons to learn. Need to watch this over and over!

Great video-learning while having fun, priceless

Another great video guys, especially useful for those of us stuck here on the West coast of Scotland.

I’ve learnt more there in less than 20 mins than 20 years of trial and (mostly) error on the course. Superb, gents. 👍🏻

So I had the privilege of playing the Stanley Thompson 18 at Banff Springs last Friday. The wind alternated between still, light gusts, and Hard gusts. It was mountain golf at its finest. I was on the tee of a par 3, 121 yards, solid gap wedge. Just as I was ready to pull the trigger, a BIG gust of wind came up and rather than back off and wait, I hit it. The ball went up and I swear it came back to me. It went 60 yards max. I immediately thought of this video. Ive watched it a few times since and it is getting saved to my lessons play list going forward.

Great video! Love the instructor series!!!

Oh I am trying this tomorrow! Brilliant stuff!!

This video will definitely help my wind game! Awesome!

Great post! Loved it.

How good is this!!! Definitely worth the wait

What terrific content you give us. Absolutely priceless.

Best video I have seen in a while!

Great early season refresher! Will be back to watch next year!

Love this tutorial... Keep up the great work. The last one I have not been able to get through yet since it is sooooo long!

By far the best series I've seen. So much knowledge between these 3. Can't wait to get out and practice this stuff.

That was truly amazing,thanks for the great info gang.

Very valuable info from all of you. Thank you so much.

By far one of the most informative series of videos from a technical to an application standpoint. Phenomenal content and hats off to Gareth!

Awesome guys!!! Explains why into the wind I typically miss way left. Trying to hit that rope hook is too unpredictable.

Sheer gold. As good as it gets!. Great work.

Thank you gentlemen for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much in the last two video posts.

Wow, excellent vid and the most concise and easy to understand approach I have seen from any instructor.

Brilliant video guys, love it 👍

I am so prone to not taking enough club when into the wind, and never learning my lesson time after time, this will definitely help towards my 2020 goals!

another level .. thank you TXG ....

Great lesson! Thank you guys!!!

Best instruction video I’ve seen.

awesome video !! It's been super windy at my range lately and I can't wait to go and hits some balls now. Thanks!

This is awesome. Absolutely awesome

Having grown up in Ayrshire I loved this! Great to see someone from the other side of the pond who is used to smashing it 350yards struggling with the wind off the Clyde.

Thanks TXG and Gareth. Great information which will help me a lot 👍

Awesome video. Keep up the great job

Wow. Great lesson.

You did it again! I think THIS video is your most useful to date.

This is so cool. Love it

Great information guys, thank you.

Been from the UK the wind is brutal at times. This is youtube video gold. Well done guys

Fantastic video, really gained a lot. Playing at Craigielaw tomorrow so will try it as it’s always 40mph there. 👍🏻

2:57 "I'll catch it"....shouldn't have been drinking coffee at that moment. I learn really well from guys like Gareth. Obviously very knowledgeable, but has a great personality to go with it. The kind of guy I like to learn from.

Welcome to my world I play my golf in the west of Ireland 🇮🇪. Here it’s rare to get a day when the wind isn’t a huge factor on the course. A two and three club wind are commonplace. This was a great lesson and I’m impressed how accurately the simulation worked on producing real world outcomes. The only difference is that Matt should also find it hard to stand up straight and keep his balance in the wind whilst playing these shots.

This information is great. Listening to this helps in my discussions with my instructor. I get the best of both worlds. Absolutely brilliant. Please keep up the guests.

Excellent vid

Playing in wind 15-30 mph tomorrow morning. Perfect time to view this video👍🏼. Thanks TXG always a good view

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time. 💚 Pretty much every sim video on KZfaq is perfect conditions...add the wind shows the audience what is required to hit the right shot. You need more of these videos. Driver cross wind L to R & R to L comparison pitch shots down vs into wind 190 yard normalised into vs down

It was a very good instruction video, Thank you it will help me .

Love this video guys 👌🏻

Great video Love all your content but these kind of instructional videos are brilliant So different to what is being put out there by anyone; (which is a great thing) Keep up the great work 👊🏻⛳

Love it, love it!!

Wow great video TXG👍

This was great. I played in 30 mph winds on Sunday here in Texas, and I was having to hit 7i into what is normally a PW-9i. Thanks for another great video guys!

I think this is the best video I’ve seen from you guys. As a links golfer who plays in heavy winds it was very informative!

Flat out excellent video gents.

This is absolutely phenomenal information. Loving this series with Gareth. You're going to have a whole legion of Raflewski cadets running around North America with their ½, ¾ and full distances inked onto their wedges with a sharpie.

Brilliant - so helpful and it actually reminds me of what my dad and grandad taught me to do growing up in East Lothian, Scotland. No choice here but to learn this but the way this is explained will be transformational for people’s games

Well I hope you have Gareth on again, very informative, thanks.

Great video for hitting into the wind. This video absolutely was a major contributor and helping me when my foursome this weekend playing in 20 mile an hour plus winds Thanks guys for useful content!

You guys are just phenomenal! A veritable mother lode of data. THANKS!!!!

I need to watch this video every time before I go out any play in the wind. Made some of these errors playing in a 3-5 club gusting wind the other weekend. Great video and excellent source of “the truth”! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video 🇸🇪👍 Keep up the good work guys

First... ...the admit wind is the bane of me. Where I live it can get pretty windy regularly. Great video for nearing the start of the golf season in the North East US.

I went out on the course the other day and had a par 3 into strong wind. I went 3 clubs stronger because of this video. Ball landed pin-high. Thank you! Keep up the great work gentlemen!

When you grow up playing links golf you really forget just how hard it is ! Great video Guys

I've been working on flighting shots for a couple of years now. I grew up in a place where wind wasn't much of a thing. Now in my 50's (6 hcp), I had figured out to deloft, ball back, swing easy and take a lot more club but my success had been mixed to be kind. You've filled in a lot of the gaps. Thank you. Can't wait to try it out.

Golden - loved it

This is 💰💰💰! Reminds me of the first day with my new irons (MP18-SC) at my local range late last Spring. Hitting into a 20 mph headwind, (for reference 21* hybrid was flying 180 and its normally my 215 club), so I spent an hour playing around trying to hit all of my shiny new irons 100 yds. I had more fun and probably got more out of that then just banging away at 6 irons. 😁

Awesome video guys. I was always taught that a good rule of thumb is 1 more club for every 8mph of wind 👍

I have been having lots of trouble chipping and pitching for some time (kinda yippy). I played today and tried Gareth’s method (moved the handle back at address) and DRAMATICALLY improved my pitching! Great stuff Gareth. Thanks a lot to Gareth and TXG for having him! You guys are the BEST!

Matt is great "straight man" for the lessons. Can adapt to the lesson smoothly but no so "automatically" that us hackers can't relate. Makes the adjustments really clear

Great Video!

Excellent info! Shocked to see how much distance is lost to a strong winds.

I know this wasn't necessarily "club fitting" but this was one of my favorite videos so far. Extremely useful information to take to the golf course. Would love to see you test the affect of different lies, uphill, downhill, sidehill. Do you take more club when going uphill or do you take less because your hitting up on the ball and it's going to spin less, etc. Would love to see answers to those questions.

Seriously must have been 3 bowlers and another 3 Trackman employees disliked this video. Great content boys! Gareth was a great addition as well!

This video with Gareth just completely explained why I couldn't hit the green into the wind while clubbing up only 1 club. The whole concept of a lower height = less time in the air (with an approach shot) seems so obvious but I never really executed with it properly. Thanks guys!

South West Coast of Ireland normally play 1 club for 8mph of headwind and 1or 2 two for tailwind aswell as flight control. 117 is my standard wedge, would probably hit 7 or 6 into 30 mph. We have 2 par 3's which play into and down prevailing wind. 8th is about 165 yards to middle of green normal wind is 1club down wind, I play it 155 yrds 7 iron. I have played wedge to gap with gale behind and gale into hit baby driver or soft 3 wood. Haven't got out this year due to the rain and storms. Great series guys.

I would love a Peter Kostis-like swing analysis on Matt's swing. It's such a unique and powerful move I'm sure a lot of people could benefit seeing how he creates his power! Great vid, as always!

A lot of this makes sense to me. I play in a good amount of wind in South Florida, and I do a decent job of club selection and ball location, but I wind up hitting these hooks and miss left a lot, and I never really thought about just opening up and pushing the hands forward.

Fantastic video guys. We play links most of time and use 10kmh into as needing one extra club. 30mph = 48kmh, so you need 5 clubs extra. Exactly as Matt found here. Good to see that vindicated.

Fascinating

This is GREAT for me (even though I am a far better than average “wind player”), as my wife and I will be going to Northwest England and Scotland next summer, and I will be playing Royal Liverpool (a/k/a Hoylake), Royal Birkdale, Turnberry’s Ailsa Course .... and Royal Troon during our trip. The reason that I say I’m a better than average wind player is because I play a lot of bad weather golf in wind, rain, etc. (we played in 35 to 40 MPH winds at 39* F. Last Friday and I shot 3 over par). My key is taking at least 3 extra clubs into the wind and flighting the ball down, and clubbing down by several clubs with the wind at my back when hitting my approach shots. It works well for me.

Would be great to see the 50-6o yd pitch in the same gusty conditions. Great video!

very interesting!
