I've watched a lot of your videos and they are all pretty good, but this was a paradigm shift. The key to consistency is via repeatability and I cannot think of a way to create better repeatability than this. This will solely be what I focus on for my short game via experimenting with set up changes and keeping swing the same.

Watched this about 10 times and i learn something new each time lol..... This time I learned that the upper body pivot/turn is the MAIN 'driver' of the action and the arms and wrists go along for the ride, which promotes a nice consistent shallow angle of approach into the ball. Such a great lesson!!

@@nickgiles1991 consistent conditions? it rains here plenty, and when it rains it's proper downpour. Not that north-west England drizzle. And our courses are cheap (most under 30 british quids) so you get cloggers duffing big pitch marks around the greens and not repairing them. For what it's worth, the 3 releases is still a technique I think is a necessity to learn. My point was that for someone just starting to focus on short game, this is an easier entry point, technically.

To be fair this was refreshing. It’s body driven but the arms and wrists are allowed to flow naturally. The outcome you require is primarily determined by your set up. It’s also the only short game lesson I’ve seen on you tube that didn’t mention “ use the bounce “

Out if the rough you can put the ball back a little and have your weight a little left, open the club to suit. Hardpan same deal, ball back a little and don't use sandwedege because of the flange; you want to hit down a bit more.

There is a significant amount of quality information here, and the principles behind the stock shot are the same principles I use for a standard pitch. However, this instruction is among thousands, which never answer the question that every player/student is sure to ask. Hands ahead, equal to, or behind the ball at impact for a standard pitch ? I have all 3 shots to one degree or another as most players do. And all 3 misses. None of those 3 ever really leave me in a place of peace in regards to the pitch. Any of the three present clear and present dangers. Imo, it is the reason why you see players with 45 years of experience, like me, who hit a wide variety of shots around the green. From those, the least frequent selection is the standard pitch. The summer of 1986, I was fresh out of High School Golf, preparing a walk on attempt to a Pac-10 school. With only 8 years bagroom experience, and 9 years playing experience, I managed to land a gig looping for the late great ChiChi Rodriguez. Chichi taught me to roll the ball around the greens via a number of shots which were new to my game. That wasn't a shot we learned growing up in the mountains of Oregon. I frequently use the ChiChi taught shots to this day. Crazy to think about. Smh. It's like, for a modern day equivalent in regards to accomplishments and player popularity, landing a gig on John Dalys bag ! He took a bit of a liking to me, helped me with my game and mindset, and maybe more than anything he treated me like I was a good player. I had always thought of myself as an average player. ChiChi thought that I was better than I thought that I was. In hindsight I ended up playing mini tours and section events and open qualifiers for most of my adult life. Now I like to think that he was right about my game's potential, more right than I was. Don't remember what we were talking about, but thanks for congering up the old memories. 😎✌️⛳️🏌♀️🙏🧑🌾

Closed stance, mega flared left foot, ball slightly more toward the back foot, open or slightly close the club face depending on what shot you want to play and go. You can basically play any shot you want from here. It’s all about practice, I hit around 2000 pitch shots a week from 90 yards in… sort your takeaway out, if this is wrong you’re wrong, once you do that, it’s a green light… Practice is a must, don’t play, PRACTICE, you can’t improve any other way…. Get off the couch, stop watching videos and start practicing, you will get better, just be prepared to get worse first. 😂 Took me around 25,000 balls over 3 months to get the FEEL and understand the golf swing, now 90 yards has become my bitch, 80 yards are terrified of me, 70 yards gets hit 8/10 times. 60 & 50 yards sometimes I own them, sometimes I’m left with a bad one which is 16ft from pin, 40-30-20-10 yards is a piece of cake and I play on cow fields, when I go to the range and get to hit off a mat, I’m tour standard.. 😂 I live in England so we don’t get to play off hard fairways, everything is heavy & wet under foot…. It’s gross. 🤮
