I actually had a fitting with Eric in January. What a legend. It's a long way from Switzerland to Malaysia but i'd love to be able to get another session with him at some point. I learned a lot more than I expected to in that short a time.

B Dog’s lessons with Eric are even more valuable than your personal lessons with Eric, which I thought were EPIC! These videos really captured the student/teacher learning experience. Eric constantly explains why he wants a change to be made and why he doesn’t want to introduce too many changes at once. Thank you for creating and providing these lessons!

@fishblade2 11 ай бұрын

I would love to see a full swing lesson as well! This has been really insightful and I love him addressing it as small essential changes and not trying to force hard changes that would take a year to change when you only play 1-2 times a week.

This is exactly what the pro at my local club was working on with me. I was always kind of jabby around the greens. It has revolutionized the way I chip and pitch now

@Oakeybloke Жыл бұрын

That last pitch looked awesome, Bdog looking so comfortable with hitting a peach, sounded amazing too! Eric has it going on, a good coach has to be a good salesman as well as a good teacher, and Eric owned it. The knowledge flows so naturally 😎 I've had some good tuition on a crook long game, so looking forward to using my short game to score instead of leaning on it to get me out of trouble... 🤞🏼

@Andy-ow6nx Жыл бұрын

Great lesson from Eric and it really resonated with me. I moved to this more on top right hand grip with a slightly more externally rotated right forearm 3 weeks ago and throughout my bag it's been a game changer. The club swings so much better and the speed is where it should be. Distance, ball flight, and dispersion improved and short game starting to become more of an asset. This grip change has had the single biggest impact on my game of any change I've ever made.

Hello from Germany! I tried this and it works amazingly well. Thanks so much! One question though: In what situations do you normally use this technique? From my understanding it applies to shorter pitches around the green over bunkers e.g., am I right? Or can you also use it for chipping and/or even longer pitch shots?

I'd love to spend a few hours with this guy. I'm only a 50 - 55% up and down and I really need to improve that. But he is very right about getting open and holding the club full length. You have to get that left hip out of the way to chip and pitch properly. It's an upper body shot and you just have to get the lower body out of the way.

@somerandomguy706 Жыл бұрын

50% up and down is pretty good. I'd take that.

Hey playa - I thought for these shots , less loft using a PW and doing the putter stroke is safe to GIOTG. as mentioned in breaking 100 video I;ve found this very consistent. when do I go for these types of shots with a 56 ? I thought the height in these shots were unnecessary

30-45 yards especially when not much green between fringe an the hole break 100 is always just get it on the green this is more for people targeting under 90 down to 80
