For pitch shots say from 100 yards to 20 yards, what is the weight distribution. Is there any transfer of weight from front to back foot?
To get a little more distance on the chip…. is there ever a time the you would use the chip motion (lower case Y) with a less lofted club?
Yes, you bet!!
So with the short pitch (30-40 yds)…. are you returning to your normal grip with a slightly open face, as opposed to using a lowercase Y as you would use with the chip?
This was an absolutely brilliant video for me. For the first time, it unlocked the heretofore unfathomable release!. By showing the incremental changes from the chip to the pitch, you saved my golf game and my sanity.
Woohoo! I can feel your joy and enthusiasm from all the way up here in Quebec City!
Thank you for the terrific comment and feedback; Shawn
On iron shots I close the face then grip the club. For chips and pitches, how do I grip the club since the face is slightly open at 10 degrees? Thanks!! I love your videos. I’ve realized I need to focus on my short game for improved scoring.
You open the face first, 10 degrees, then grip it! 😀👍
Thanks. I practiced last night. My shots were going really high. I think maybe instead of opening my club face (not closing) I increased the loft tremendously. I think my 60 degree became a 90. Also, does this chipping and pitching technique apply to P, 52 and 56 wedges. Also, is there a video about hitting out of different stages of rough?
The on course series has it somewhere; yes!
Thank you ! Is it the same technique with a 52° and 56° wedge ? I really appreciate your positive teaching style thank you.
Same technique with PW-9 and 8 irons too!
Hey Shawn I am struggling with my wedge play anything from a full shot to anything shorter. I play the ball back of centre , PMD for distance to ball , I see the doorframe and get behind it , predict the carrot peel , stem and do all the predictions based on a club throw to target . Every time it’s a shank/slice and it blows my mind . I have no problem with any other iron/wood doing the same task. I know every golf swing is based on the feeling of a club throw to the target and predicting what’s gonna happen a the ball cause it works with every club in the bag , if you can help with a suggestion let me know. I know it’s just the way I’m seeing it .
Hey Philip!
Sometimes it is the club itself and you need to adjust to it OR GO SHOPPING for a new wedge! 😝
Here is what you do: get your distance to ball then when you advance into it, only get as far as on the toe or the outer half of the wedge; feel like you would be cutting through the stem of the dandelion with the tip of the blade. See what happens!
The late great George Knudsen played this way and he was a marvel of ball striking!
Hey Shawn I found it , I was compressing the ball in to the bottom of the doorframe with the leading edge . I know we here at wisdom in golf don’t focus on body parts but it would keep the weight on the back leg while throwing the club . I really had to picture compressing the ball into and through the doorframe out to the target . Felt a good squat on the front leg to compress it.🙌
Yeah man!😀😀👍👍
