Shawn I really like this new series and I like how you are sticking with one concept/feel for the entire series. With some of the other series, for me sometimes there were too many different actions to focus on like slashing for irons and cutting grass for chipping. I like that i can focus on just one feel.
Thank you for that important feedback! Without you guys, the information would not be as potent! 😀👍👌
Hi Shawn Why is the low point so far back, opposite your trail foot?
Low point is ahead of that!! You want to catch the ball before the low point!
See the full Chipping video at the beginning of the list to see the full reason; it has to do with the fact that the arm-club unit does not load in the backswing and therefore less lag and less forward shaft lean.
Hi Shawn. Recently pitching fat and under the ball. Chipping thin. Manipulating the club and I’m sure wrist break….losing strokes like crazy…..grrr.
I was not using perpetual motion drill with goldilocks but I think also most importantly, not getting weight to the front foot pre strike like you do as you clear. I think I’m stuck in the middle manipulating with hands. A kinetic disaster. On the plus side PMD is right on with the irons and driver. Kinetic chain maintained.
Getting to the ground with the front foot makes or breaks all the rest of the kinetic chain no? Thanks. Timing for this session was perfect. I have my 5 lb sledge to try and ingrain the feel. Cheers .J.
Jeez! You left me with nothing to say!!😂😂
I just favorited this video and plan on hanging out on this one for a long time. I thought I had my chipping together today, but unfortunately… chipping cost me dearly on the scorecard. My distance judgement was way off. Even doing Goldilocks didn’t seem to help with distance… any drill suggestion? Or is it good ole fashioned wood shedding.
…to be consistent need to find the low point with pmd, then Goldilocks the lie , then make sure the clearing involves getting the ground by loading the front foot ( watch Shawn’s on the video) and cut the grass to the intermediate point in the sequence ball, grass, (dirt).
The drill is like the video…hammer to get the feedback then repeat with club in PMD…
Hey Shawn,
This will sound really stupid – but how do you take the hands out of these chips and pitches?
When I start a range session – the first 20 balls or so of pitches ALWAYS ALWAYS involves so much hand action – the term you used is ‘manipulate the club to hit the ball’.
It seems to be the equivalent of the yips for putting – but its for pitching (if there is such a thing).
thanks,
Sandy
Hey Sandy!
This is where you need to get your hands on a 6 pound sledge hammer; you have seen me use it in other videos right? When you simply swing the sledge hammer back and forth in front of you like a long chip, YOU CANNOT USE THE HANDS and will feel the swing happen where it should from the shoulder sockets. If the arms are dead at address, and the arm-club unit is hanging from the shoulders, in a solid state, and you cannot use them and they are just waiting there, you will feel the need to use the legs to get them going!! See “Kinetic chain series” when I demonstrate that even the chip shots have a DOUBLE KINETIC CHAIN, one on the backswing and one on the through swing.
OK – now I have to get a sledgehammer! hahaha!
Thanks will look into those videos again.
I’m having troubles getting a mid point establish d on my shots after the drive. Any suggestions
If the course you play is pristine and intermediate points are hard to find, take a practice swing 6 feet back from the target with the ball as the intermediate point and send a nice divot in that direction. The ensuing debris created by this will fall in front of the ball and give you all the intermediate points you need! 😀👍🤛💪
