This is such a simple technique that once you have it you own it. I think it's 2 fold as well, because you are in essence working on proper delivery in your full swing. It's literally just a shorter version of the full swing. I use the clock method but also have developed my own feel for the length of the back swing for stock yardages. I have a 10 yard, 20 yard, and a 30 yard at the moment. I also know that my 60* at a "9 o'clock" lead arm position goes 47 yards and my 54* carries 61 yards. Having "built in" or stock yardages is a game changer. You can add to the technique to create other types of shots. As in move it back slightly with a bowed lead wrist produces a lower spinner, cup your lead wrist like your hitting a hold off fade and you have a nice floater that lands like a bag of sand. Open the blade and aim left and you have a cut lob. Take it even further and really get creative, open the blade, aim right and try to hook it with your path. I saw Tiger hitting that shot and tried it. Lower drawing spinner that really spins something nasty to the left when it lands. And it all is just a mini version of the full swing.

This is a really good reminder of what I already know but invariably forget over the shot!! If there’s nothing I need to carry I grab my 4 hybrid and treat it like a putt. Safety first!

How would one go around not hitting the hossel of the club? I find myself when I pitch/Chip the ball it shoots off right the majority of the time.

Need to hear how this changes playing on less carpet-like grass (like Bent). My experience using the bounce on non-Bermuda grass is the club still digs into the dirt (especially if it’s wet). Makes you have to hit ball first. Would love to hear short game chef’s thoughts.

I've been trying this wide to wide body motion for pitching and I hit some good ones but then out of the blue I'll thin one way over the green! Any suggestions as to why I might be doing this and what to do to remedy the problem?

@chillier8363 Ай бұрын

Make sure grip is good. And tempo.

@elevee Ай бұрын

Maybe I missed it, but what does the inside path do for the chip? Usually with draws, don’t you get more roll?

@chillier8363 Ай бұрын

My guess is it’s just easier than trying to hit a cut

@stm5275 Ай бұрын

This is 35 yards with no wrist action. What about 40, 45, 50? At some point you just cant hit it far enough and now you have to add wrists - so you have a a different swing for different pitching lengths which is very difficult under pressure. At what point is there a switch between no wrists and wrists? Thats my issue with this technique. It becomes unnatural at some distance.

@sultan450 Ай бұрын

You could just club up same swing just use a pw or 9iron to get more distance. You would be surprised how well a 9 iron can hold a green with just a little tap on the ball. Everyone is different but I would give clubbing up a try 👍🏿

@jeremydavidson9194 27 күн бұрын

Pros get necessary speed by turning around their core with speed. There is some give in the wrists, but mostly the speed comes from an aggressive body turn with a partial swing. Limited swing but not limited body turn.

@jeremydavidson9194 27 күн бұрын

That said, I do add a little wrist hinge starting at 70 yards with my gap wedge.

@ChillClay 20 күн бұрын

I do a similar technique. I just club up based on my distance. My 60 degree is 30-40 yds. My 54 degree is 40 - 50 etc. It really helps if you have something like a Garmin g80 to check your distances.

This video is way too long. You're overcomplicating this simple shot. Also, this focus on a "wide bottom" is a recipe for skulled shots.

@chillier8363 Ай бұрын

And a narrow bottom is a recipe for chunks

@FRL2000 Ай бұрын

@@chillier8363 Fiar enough, different feels for different folks. Keep turning through the ball and you won't dig. A steeper approach angle gives me more consistent contact on pitches and on bunker shots. Throw the head and keep turning the torso.
