this guy leaves no stone unturned eh? great stuff.

Fantastic !! I think a lot of amateurs are suffering from "bounce neurosis" because most lessons except yours overemphasize the use of wedge bounce in short games. Especially on bunker shots.

Good explanation. Amazes me that so many don't have short game lessons, it makes a big difference to scoring for us ams. And how many players have the same intention when chipping again and again and expect a different result. Played with a guy who used a chipper club today. It was certainly useful some of the time...

A lot of pros have less bounce on their wedges. But for most amateurs as per dan grieve the short game maestro and the short game chef, bounce is good for amateur golfers as the margin of error is wider even if u hit the ground first. Even tiger woods said this

James, excellent vid. I find what is critical is whatever shaft lean (or none) you prefer, maintaining the same wrist angle from setup to impact is key.

Ounce of bounce!

Excellent as always. Great desription of why shaft lean CAN work.

Great video - so one is very much the Phil hinge and hold, vs. a release. I bought one of your bunker videos and it really opened my eyes to the different release patterns, which saved the day for me. I found that the release pattern that worked best for me out of bunkers is radically different than my full swing. I’ve been experimenting with short game release patterns as well. It would be great to see more content around release patterns. I watch you do different styles in videos but in your game do you settle on one or vary it based on the shot you want to hit?

Brilliant again James, thanks for sharing!

Funnily enough I’ve started using the forward shaft lean one you showed recently by chance without having any idea why 😂

Thankyou James...very interesting...keep it coming.

Great video - would love to get a lesson with you - are you coming to Ireland - north or south - anytime ?

“Steeps” and “shallows”

looks like stinger shot

Very clear but…can I?

No bounce? Sacrilege!
