How to hit 50 to 120-yard wedge shots with precision | Short Game Chef | Episode 7

[@johnhue8933]

What I like about Parker McLachlin as opposed to other teachers that describe what to do in distance wedges is that his advice is real world and not just theory..

[@garrymajor7528]

Could you please explain what part of your body you are rotating ,and is this a small example of the full swing or a different swing completely .enjoying the chef from New Zealand

Parker a good video on wedges for a range between 50 to 120 yards it would have added flavor and spice to explanations if it had been supported by Trackman statistics on the course

[@garygray7159]

As I watch the slo motion views of all your shots in the video, it looks like your first move is a slight drift backward with your upper body and head before starting the shoulder turn. Is this intentional. If so, could you discuss what this brings to the table? Thanks

I’m struggling with a steep AoA but i also am like 4° I/O. Every lesson I’ve see steep attack assumes the person is coming over the top so the lesson is always about getting the club more in to out. What does a person with a steep attack with a in to out do to level out the attack angle?

[@TonyHammer61]

I noticed on the 75 yard shot that you didn't curtail your follow-through

[@ST-xg3gy]

What wedges do you use?

[@mclovincm]

I have a question for all of you out there. When you execute a three quarter shot wedge or short iron shot, what less distance do you average versus a full shot?

[@johnnybgood7442]

It depends on the club. Longer clubs are going to lose more total yardage than a short club will. But all factors being equal, it’s probably 8-12%.

[@keano1983]

Honestly go to the range hit each wedge half swing, 3/4 and full and check your yardages over say 5 shots with each. You'll get overlap say a full 54 goes the same as a 3/4 50 but you'll get different flights. Useful to have in the locker.

[@zazhou]

@@keano1983 thanks. Similarly, I am choking down half or three quarter inch for yardages when I am in-between clubs.

Most people don’t worry about spinning ball too much

[@tiger1701]

No divot on a full wedge?!

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

I think for the most part for me I wouldn't change anything with his tips. The 75 yard shot and the 50 yard shot I would do slightly different. I wouldn't open the blade on the 60*. I'm a high spin player so opening the blade and adding spin is no bueno for that shot. I also prefer the 60* on the 50 yard shot. However, I do like the idea of the 56* for the 50 yard shot. Bringing it in a bit lower and allowing it to roll up to it gives a you a larger margin for error. For me though 50 yards is almost a perfect 9 o'clock 60* wedge for me. That position goes 47 yards for me. I also play a 54* wedge. The whole point is use what works for you and give yourself the most margin for error. As a high spin player I don't like hitting full wedges. It's easier to swing softer with slightly less loft. I've already hit 3/4 50* wedges trying to take some spin off and still wound it up too much.

What's the point in this other than to show us you're very good at 50-120 yard wedge shots?

[@kentturner595]

This is part of a series, and you’re in the middle of it. He’s explained what he’s doing in the previous videos

[@ST-xg3gy]

Tips! You can't see that?

[@DinkinFlicka11]

If you don't know, you probably will never be good at golf

[@paulthomson2288]

After watching this video my handicap dropped from 18 to plus 2!....not.

[@d_range211]

This video is WAY over complicated

[@TailblockProductions314]

agreed lol, most people can hardly hit stock shots nonetheless 75% back swing and 90% power lmao
