The old way works with many pros still nowadays because they are super precise and skilled with their hands. The new way is targeted to us amateurs that need a bigger margin on these kind of shots..

Also many pros have been playing golf since they were kids and taught the "old ways". They've just been doing the old ways since day 1 and probably have no reason to change since they are so good at it.

What myth buster did you find most helpful??
@mntlblok10 ай бұрын
Actually, a couple of *other* variations I've seen of yours. 🙂 I guess there's a subtle difference between a ball sitting "down" in the rough and one sitting "all the way down to the ground" in Bermuda rough. Your steep attack with a release at the bottom that sort of stops the club head shortly after contact for that latter case worked mind bogglingly and surprisingly well. Also had fabulous success with the first myth buster example in the bunker, but the previous video made a point of a 50/50 weight distribution and the ball in the vicinity of the middle of the stance. It got rid of my tendency to enter the sand 8, rather than the planned 2 inches behind the ball. Even warming up and making contact with that "line in the sand" became all but perfect by moving said line back to the middle of my stance.

Setting up more 50/50 for chipping and having the ball more forward with less shaft lean, i tried this and the bounce definitely engages more, I found it a more forgiving method.

I don't think calling the old methods "myths" when some of the greatest players used those methods consistently, it's just the wrong word to use. IMO golf instruction is subjective and just because something is considered modern teaching doesn't mean it will work for you. I bought Phil's hinge and hold method, at the time it was the modern method. In the end it simple didn't work for me consistently but Phil is one of the greatest short game artist of all time. I recently found Dan Grieve's short game method and it really improved my game. It's totally different then Phil's with multiple releases yet I'm sure many people swear by Phil's teaching. My point is why call the "old" method myths? Look at Jack, Seve, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Phil etc. etc. how can you argue with their success with their style of short games? I'm not disagreeing with your method just feel you're insulting some of the greatest champions in golf believing this is the end all of short game methods.

Also when my chipping is not working ,i know i can depend on the chop shot he called old …it may not be great everytime but i can salvage a shitty round and at least still enjoy some of the game ….my point is I don’t know how trying to slide under a ball set in the rough is less prone to miss hit than chopping down on back of ball …in mycase not very professional but can be effective 😬

"Professional golfers don't play their bunker shots (open stance etc, as explained) like that anymore." So what you're telling me is that they used to? Is the sand different? Any other factors? Flop shot, "straight up in the air" WOW, STRAIGHT UP.? Ok, I didn't know the ball went "straight up." And again, this is not myth busting this is just a "new way" if that. You can call it "modern" all you want, that doesn't mean the old way is wrong, but wait, the new way is your way so it must be special and shiny. "Hinge & Hold"...."I'm hinging and I keep missing the ball because my club is the air, my name is Parker." Next time ask a golfer. Long Bunker shot, again, I don't think you really understand what this myth busting means. And NO, you don't have to play the "plugged bunker shot with the closed, square club face." It isn't a dictatorship. "Chipping from the rough" all this has been covered Parker, OH WAIT, a new method for the 42 HCP golfer who plays golf with a scythe. "Weight Forward when chipping" is that a myth? It is recommended by Phil Mickelson. Next time use a dictionary to look up the hard words so you know what you're talking about.

Having watched a PGA event in person this year, I can promise you every professional I saw hitting a chip had their weight dramatically forward. I was actually surprised how exaggerated it was in person. The amount of shaft lean depended on how high they wanted to flight the chip.

Wait, Wait, I’m late to the party. 😢 To Haters: His mishits (that were exaggerated, of course) were the exact result of at least 3 or 4 of your personal shots this past weekend AND more than a few of your playing partners. That’s kinda the point, most amateur or Rec players practice little to none so finding a reliable repeatable shot is progress for us. To The Rest of Us: I knocked off 8 easy strokes in the last 5 rounds even with mishits leaving me in position to only go bogey/double bogey instead of a blow up. Nothing better than a chip to 10 inches instead of a blow by….

Man this is validating. Always have used wedges “my way” vs what I was taught 10 years ago / what KZbin videos say and “my way” had a ton of parallels with what’s deemed “modern”. Every time I put weight forward, for example, I felt like I’d hit it twice as hard as I meant to.

While I enjoyed the video I can't let it go by without a couple of comments. First and foremost, your use of the term 'modern' for contemporary golfers has a pejorative ring that rankles. By default, it puts every major player who came before you, in a dismissive, 'old-timer' category. Even more irritating is the fact that when you were demonstrating the older 'non-modern' techniques you did it half-heartedly, without actually trying to make the shot work.
