Well done Chris. …
Well done Chris. Extremely effective, concise lesson. Has improved my somewhat dodgy chipping enormously and given me a level of confidence with these shots that I have not had since I was a kid. I have shot two sub-par rounds in the last 3 weeks and the tip, for sure, saved me 3 or 4 shots. I also think that your point that pitching is a “mini golf swing” helped also. Improved my turn through impact and I hit a lot more fairways off the tee than is usual for me. A rare gem. 4 handicap. Thanks

Honestly their are …
Honestly their are so many different pitch and chip techniques, because it is supposed to be a miniature form of your full swing. If you have read harvey penicks little red book, he said that if you have little time to practice before playing than you should chip and pitch, because it should be the same technique of your full swing. So i would suggest if your having trouble just try pitching and chipping with your full swing technique, but with just a different setup. This always works for me.

hit your PW as a 55 yard shot would be a 1/2 PW for you.
Likewise a 1/2 sand wedge should be your 40 yard shot and a 1/2 lob wedge should be your 35 yard shot.
You can even break these clubs down to 3/4 and figure your yardage with that. For example, a 3/4 PW would be your 83 yard shot.

Since my last post …
Since my last post I have after lots of experimentation solved the problem of hitting shots from 100 yds. I keep the ball left of center. On backswing I break wrist completely (as much as possible) even beyond 90 degress. The ball goes high and lands softly. I have yet to miss a shot after adopting this swing. Please try and give me some feedback.

I am a 8 …
I am a 8 handicapper and have a hard time hitting half shots. My specific problem is as follows: I hit the PW 110 yards, SW 80 yds, and Lob wedge (60 degrees) 70 yds. What is the best shot to hit to a flag located 55 yds away? The flag is about 10 yds from the edge of the green. I use a PROV1 Titleist Golf ball. The greens are on the hard side and the ball rolls from 1 to 6 yds depending on the type of shot. How should the shot be hit with each of the three clubs?

Will this shot go …
Will this shot go low or will the wrist break make it go high. A longer pitch generally requires a higher shot more like a lob shot with a soft landing.

not really because …
not really because you’ll never get the same ball flight or spin rate using this technique. look up hank’s pitching advice, its much better.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
low loft and lots …
low loft and lots of spin is a good thing.
If you want a soft landing high lob pitch then fine use another technique. But this shot is important to have in your bag surely??

awful. if you want …
awful. if you want deep divots, no loft and loads of spin pitch like this.

It’s unfortunate that an amateur golfer may encounter this video and try to apply the fifty things this instructor has prescribed. If I had to remember all of those things I could never make a golf swing. I’m sure this instructor is the same.
