GOLF Pitching by Phil Mickleson (Golf Tips Edit)

GOAT short game video

[@Fict10n]

One of the most helpful videos I’ve ever watched in terms of improving my game.

[@robertmazzarachio7939]

As always clear instructions and demonstration great video Thank You Phil

[@Makumazahn77]

The master giving some excellent instructions here! Thanks Phil.

[@parmanduke]

Hinge and hold has transformed my short game. THANK YOU 50 YEAR OLD PGA CHAMP PHIL!!!!!!!

[@16pennynails]

Incredible distance control, but then again I would expect nothing less from one of the greatest short games ever. Man has all the shots.

[@kenneth6847]

Really like the idea of adjusting club face first then repositioning the body

[@stevenaguirre4796]

Angle wedge, adjust body towards hole and re grip. Got it……….it looks so easy.

[@justinpeterson2105]

Among PGA stars, Phil is the best teacher in the world

[@bobbys4327]

simple, to the point no complexities

[@bobbys4327]

@@RedDragonfly205 What I meant was he doesn't ramble on and on and on about just....well......nothing.....he gets to the point of the video, nails it and is on to the next tee lol.

[@MARKOFC420]

He’s good at three things, one is golfing, and the other is talking golf!

[@lindacarriere4658]

Excellent explanations

[@Mr.Helper.]

“Open the face a little bit” proceeds to have club head lay flat on the ground

[@Pureshooter9]

I watched this video 1yr ago..since then my short game has been great..ive holed out countless times, but we won't talk about how many shots ut took to get in that position

[@seantuite4223]

Ridiculously good......cheers Phil

[@tomf9292]

I use the “cringe and fold” method

[@shibainudegenerate7129]

😂😂me too

[@thomaslynch9016]

Lmfao

[@michaelsummerson6781]

best advise this is where we score... where we win championships

[@geojetson9533]

I tried the cringe and fold and was very consistent. Of sculling the ball over the green

[@fredericksharon7494]

Your not keeping your head still, and probably hitting the ball and still on your right foot. Also, try to slow down on your backswing... take your time... it just takes a little practice, don't give up...make sure your on your left foot, 60/40 at least...and don't look at the hole so quick, keep your eye on the ball at impact, you should see the club hit the ball, if you didn't see the club hit the ball, then your are looking up...

[@bobbys4327]

Took me hardly any time to get into this. This is a great tutorial on chipping and pitching. I have been doing great with this method compared to being allover the place before.

[@markcreighton4646]

This technique is easy to get down. It has improved my pitching and chipping instantly. He's right, much easier to manage distance and you hit the ball much more crisply.

[@shawnhenry4997]

Phil is the best

[@DStJohn-jq3ev]

My favorite part of the game

[@genoortega7992]

Inside a 3 foot circle. Hell I'd be happy just to land it on the green😅

[@ernestclayton8550]

Phil's easily my favorite to watch play! But I can't play like a scramble all the time , I won't be ahead at the end, but I do feel like manipulating my wedge when I feel confident! This wedge is magical!!! I carry the 54/14 ! Cheer's

[@tonym5866]

My brain：Got it My hands: Bullshit

[@RedDragonfly205]

Slow

[@WeimaranersAreTheBest]

love how pros make this game look so easy....

[@danielives379]

GOAT

[@bobbys4327]

hit a million balls like that and it becomes easy lol

[@benjaminhogan3157]

...dats y dey pros and u not...

[@dbc7772011]

True! Did you notice how far he opened the club face? He practically laid it flat on the ground. Don’t mis hit it or disastrous skull or chunk

[@nikoredone]

Did anyone have any luck getting this to check the way Phil does?

[@mbrum3230]

He is a master

[@bobbychainhalt]

Am I swinging too hard I get the shanks not coming back through the ball when I go short I'm through it but like flipping it or junk please help

[@GolfTipsEdit]

Please check 1. a ball position as Setup, 2, arm & hand relaxed, 3. shaft must be in front of the ball at impact, 4. left hip pull instead of right hip push (often a reason for shanks).

[@danieljd6776]

Phil can explain and demonstrate in under 3 minutes. Golf KZbinrs have barely completed the video intro in 3 minutes.

[@jimcole2648]

I need him to show me in person.

[@michaelcavanaugh9525]

Hinge and hold.... I like to hinge and flip maybe that’s why I not on tour?

[@TrevorDandy.]

I've never understood how Phil can say "hinge and HOLD" with a straight face. Why has NOBODY called him out on this?!? Hold my ass, he has the best release of the club into the ball around the greens since Seve. That shaft is damn near vertical when he hits these shots, perfectly exposing the bounce. It should be called "Hinge and release"

[@RedDragonfly205]

@@TrevorDandy. He is talking feels like. He has same release All shots. It is an elementary clinic style lesson.

[@TrevorDandy.]

@@RedDragonfly205 I get that. You get that. Lots of people that understand how to chip get it as well. But there are a lot of people that have never heard Phil talk about how to release the club around the greens that are trying to hold their angles into the ball. it. It can just be misleading is all

[@jms6184]

I've been watching several of your videos and love how short and simple you make it. Just wish you were a "righty"! (just kidding, kinda).

[@GolfTipsEdit]

Tkank you for kind comment :)

[@ericstra2793]

Actually if you are a righty his swing is perfect for you. Just mirror what he does with your swing. That’s how Phil learned. By mirroring his dad who was a righty. You can reverse Phil’s process. (BTW Phil is actually right handed)

[@jms6184]

@@ericstra2793 Yeah, I was just trying to be funny. The main purpose was to credit him for short & simple videos. Unlike most other KZbin videos who drag their videos way too far out on a variety of subjects. Just a little humor but thanks for the tip just the same.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1-3)

[@KyleBucy]

Where is the ball position?

[@tonythaiger93]

Either front or back based on high or low. No middle of stance.

[@jumwum6505]

It’s so strange to me how I can’t do anything productive inside 50 but at 50 to 110 I can get on the green and 6-8 feet from the pin consistently using really high flop shots

[@EDMLforLIFE]

Nobody cant hit a "flop shot" from 50 to 110 yards lol. You can hit it high, and have it land soft, but a true flop shot does not go very far. Nowhere close to 50 to 110 yards

[@Jarhead0331]

Did he say what degree wedge he uses?

[@iec7587]

he mostly uses a 60 but it depends on lie

[@dbc7772011]

He opened club face to practically laying it flat on ground. Need perfect lie and skill to hit it like him. Wish they had camera directly behind him to see his swing path in backstroke and downstroke.

[@bobbys4327]

I have found, with this method, and it is probably the same with any stroke: Swing the club on YOUR swing arc. Don't take it straight back. Stay on your arc and the club will come back to an even lie angle a lot easier with no manipulation. At first it will feel like you are taking the club way inside. Stay on your arc!

[@julianpapin9428]

Phil seems to be liking to give even a pitch shot a proper whack.

[@bobbys4327]

uses a 60 degree wedge and accelerates thru all shots. more club head speed=more spin

[@willemhaifetz-chen1588]

Right on!

[@joaquinalmanza5254]

Winner

[@nicholasdemetriades9154]

Yeah this takes skill. Easier to pretend you are tossing a ball underhand with the required amount of momentum. Hinge the wrists obviously more than a chip shot. Let the body face more open to the target. Keep the arms relaxed letting the left elbow bend after impact from the momentum of the shot. You won't get the spin like Phil but definitely gives a shallower attack angle and is more forgiving for an amateur golfer.

[@williamtaylor5193]

Hinge and hold is great, but I prefer cringe and fold.

[@DonkeyKongBMAC]

Hahahahaha ha well done

[@johnstrait3824]

I’m starting to hate this guy but I like him at the same time

[@Gush27]

This guy?? Lol

[@randyhuffman9370]

Phil can gladly go to the Saudi league, I really don't care for the 'person' at all.

[@michaelmonsour4836]

What degree club is he using

[@paradox5556]

60

[@rolo1054]

PhD I think....

[@TheDKing6]

Well duh...
