Here's what we cover in this golf video.
1 - First thing -
Grip in palm. An old golf coach told me this many moons ago and although I don’t always use it, I love it… It allows more passive.. stops the flipping
2 - open stance - with foot only and flare toes out.
3- To avoid fat shots and steeper angle of attack with a more rounded pitching technique to take a shallow angle of attack
3 - Ball position not too far back - avoid divots. Why because the best strikes come from lower on the face. If top of club it will roll out.
4 - resist lower body on the way back
5 - lead side or trail hand you choose though feel
BONUS TIP TO ADJUST DISTANCE -
I LOVE THE SHORT SWING METHOD WHIch I will talk about in the next pitching video that will be more suitable for most golfers to get brilliant and wedge play.
Look out for the next pitching lesson to become great, get spin and control Until then, check out this lesson here

Once in a while you watch a coach that makes the game of golf a pleasure to play. I love the simplicity of your techniques, something I’ve thought about on a regular basis and for me in my 50’s I’m still hitting my iron shots further than guys in their 30’s and 40’s ! Can’t explain exactly what the changes are , but the belief implementing techniques and strategies into my game just works. Wonderful coach , would love to play a round with you sir ………… thanks a million 👏🏽

Great tip Alex I,m a leftie and been pulling my pitches and longer chips across my chest to the right. Whatever I do shallow/come from the inside always much the same. Now I’m the prat cos all I need to do is drop my foot back like makes a lot of sense. You’d think I should have worked that one out for myself! Got an idea for a new channel. How about the Art of Simple Fitness because you do look in shape!

Love your vids! What do you think of same long putter like swing just change clubs for the needed distance? I think with similar swing I can get 70 yd with 7i, 60 with 8, etc…thinking I can eliminate chunked pitch by just as you said brush or clip the ball from turf. Helps with accuracy

Hi 73 yr old Jack again. I am following you and enjoy your tips. Now I just have something to share and maybe you can comment on it. Been pulling a lot of shots left and discovered I wasn’t turning my upper body fast enough causing my club head to get ahead of my hands. Started turning much quicker with great results! Actually increased lag and squared club face. What do you think?

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Жыл бұрын

Hi Jack! It certainly can help to get the core through. Just look out for club getting over the top and shoulder pushing it out. Getting the core through is key and several lesson here and in our online Club cover that too.

Alex, when you say resist the lower body, does this mean not to release the trail leg?

@alancarlyon3928 Жыл бұрын

Mo Norman swore by this grip, I tried it for a while, but never got the hang of it! But as you showed us- it is a great grip when near the green, Garry Player uses a 6 iron, he's the best chipper I have seen! So as long as I do not have to fly me ball over a bunker, then I know I will get my ball on the green which is not approved with the punters! - load of auld grumpier/s!

Great tips. In the full swing is it ok for your dominant hand to control the swing. For me it’s my right hand? Thanks 😊

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Жыл бұрын

Absolutely but it can certainly cause some challenges. Often better to find a way to blend. Sometimes the feel alters over time

Alex, what is the maximum yardage you’ve used this pitch shot for?

Depending on the club but my 56 would be max 90 with this particular length of action

Hi, would you say the pitching technique is entirely different from the chipping technique? So really, we have 4 techniques; normal shots (driving, irons etc) then pitching, chipping and putting?

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Жыл бұрын

Well yes and no. There are many more similarities than differences in chipping vs pitching. It’s more or less just a longer chip. There are little tweaks to ensure no stalling and using the bounce etc in chipping because of the shorter and slower pace. We have lessons on it.

@MrMartwy Жыл бұрын

Pitching is the most "inconsistent" part of this game. Each coach says different things. Take Pete Cowen - undoubtedly someone who knows "a bit" about golf. He says - keep the ball BACK, closer to the trail foot, use the bounce, without a bounce it is not a pitch shot, wind the club vertically, up in the backswing. Completely opposite to this...

@TheArtofSimpleGolf Жыл бұрын

We are using the bounce here too! And this method I have found is easier for many folks. Not saying the other way is wrong.
