Dave Pelz looks so well balanced over every shot. He is my mentor. All I have to do is imitate him. It has worked so far.

This just works! By the way i tried daves chipping method with my 45 degree mazel chipper! At first my buddies were laughing, not any longer!! Thanks

lol i was crying laughing when the host says tell me what happens when soemeone "chunks it or blades it" and i am reading the cc and it says "chunky lube ladies". !!! good insights though i blew my tourament score on a single blade shot today.

Would love to hear Pelz’ views on using the bounce wedge swings.

What a backyard to practice your short game...and Blair to keep you company haha..

So many better short game instructors than Pelz.

Phil says never play the ball in the middle of your stance for chips. Forward or back.

Dave Pelz used to work at NASA, I guess he's pretty smart lol

BLAIR! Enough said!

Interesting - Adam Bazalgette (3 times best PGA coach of the year I understand) adds that if we lean slightly towards the target for short chips (assuming the ball is centred as per this vid), the bottom of the swing arc will be beyond the ball, ideally about 2" giving a far greater potential for a clean strike. I know this has worked for me and would love to know Mr Pelz's thoughts? For me, the combination of correct ball positioning and the slight lean towards the target has completely revolutionised my short short game. Cheers and thank you from Oz - Dave

Who is the filly?

I wish they would get the camera dead on center on Dave because his ball position looks to be forward and I'm sure it isn't.

Michelson has a video out in which he says the ball should be off front foot for high shots and back foot for low shots. This seems to be the opposite of the technique here described. I thought Michelson was a Pelz follower. How are these two videos resolved?

All those quoting Phil as saying "the ball should only be played forward or back in the stance, NEVER in the middle", consider this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNyVdqmTvMy6e5c.html Ignore Kostis' explanation because as usual, he sees whatever he wants to see to make a point. The ball is NOT back as Kostis says. Phil has the ball EXACTLY in the middle between the heels of his feet. His turned out front foot makes it appear that the ball is SLIGHTLY aft of center but it's not. Judge for yourself. Note where the divot starts on this wedge shot.. Just forward of center. That's why Pelz suggest the ball be placed in the center. Does it make sense for the average golfer to move the ball either to the front or rear of the stance if the divot starts just forward of center? Where is the ball here? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e82bltGL3s2rno0.html or here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pd52jJuhkrrSgas.html Here is his complete short game dvd. Go to the last minute of the video where he hits 50 yard pitch shots at around the 1:01:00 point. The only spot where I could find a good camera angle. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fc6qjJqFrrPSfYk.html No where on that whole DVD does he move the ball forward or back in his stance except for specialty shots. Every normal shot he has the ball in the center if you look objectively and compensate in your mind for when the camera is off center . Yes a pro can manipulate the low point and move the ball around to change trajectories and spin rates for specialty shots, but those are rare occasions and certainly wouldn't be something you would teach to beginners or even intermediates. Pelz and The Golf Channel Make their big bucks catering to the average golfer not the elite.

Even with the ball in the center, I can still chunk or blade.. There is more to it than that.. Tempo and hand action, conscious or unconscious is critically important.

Would you consider adopting me ? I will never bother you, I will spend the rest of my life in your backyard day and night....I would even pay for lights....and I would be happy to live in a tent...

I believe excessive sole curvature is the culprit most of the time along with too sharp of a lip.

Who’s that baby doll ❤️

That ball was NOT in the middle of her stance, no way.

Too much talk not enough demo

But not 1 chip performed outside.

Phil says never play it off the center

Just buy a C3i wedge lol.

What about when you are looking up at a green 7-10 feet high and it’s all downhill past the flag on fast greens and w a tight lie with the ball below your feet? Lol

Blair....what a golf sight or site?

You can play the ball from anywhere in your stance. Stop trying to make us think there is only one way to do it.

if you suck, you are going to remain that way. If you havnt got good hand eye you are going to fail about 50% of the time. Accept it and come up with a work around.

What he have balls down if he wasn't going to hit a few to demonstrate don't think he could hit the ball right

The absolute worst exaggeration lol nobody does that stop.

you start out talking about bladed and chunked shots from what looks like 15 to 20 yard pitch shot. While Pelz does a great job of explaining , NO shots hit. it would be nice to see the master in action.Then back in the studio both players hit pretty hard wedges , maybe 60 yard shot , not the delicate shot everyone chunks. You guys should know a lot of people learn visually , why didn't you hit the shot you were talking about, VERY disappointed.
