What Nobody Tells You About Pitching Onto The Green

[@skylaryoung3819]

I think you are the only instructor I actually believe when they say their tips are “simple.” Your videos have cut almost 10 strokes off my game in less than 3 months. Excellent work, and thank you for taking the time to do so!

Glad you enjoyed it Pauline, really happy to help

[@jonathanfuchs4306]

Thank you, Danny. I spent 20 years trying to (unsuccessfully) pick pitch shots clean with a de-lofted and closed club face until I was shown how to use the bounce. I focus more on the club hitting the ground than the club than hitting the ball. What a difference. Very well described in your video.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Jonathan

[@stephenlau5266]

I second that, cannot agree more!! This is the most important drill at my current stage!!

[@frmacleod]

Danny this lesson changed everything for me. I've been golfing for four years and slowly working my way to single digit handicap -- but my shots from 70 yards and in were always just guesses and half swings. No one ever taught me how to properly pitch. I took this onto the course a few times now and it's so damn consistent. Thanks!

Amazing! Well done Robert

[@spyder357]

I learned more from this video about pitching than i did in 20 years of golfing, my fault for never reading up much but I always kept my ball about 70-100 yards away so I could take a full swing with an iron. Been practicing this for a week now and hitting pitch shots 4000% better than I ever have. Your teaching style is fantastic, going into detail on the mechanics is extremely helpful. Many Many thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

So happy to hear that

[@tajmccall]

Danny you continue to explain this better than just about everyone - starting from setup, and comparing it to the other shots, onto the followthrough. As a 25 handicap its really helpful when you compare the differences to the other shots. I find when I don't play often I will start to address the ball similarly for everything but putting and driving and that obviously ends in tears. Can't wait to go to the range until the weather up here in the Northern US clears up.Thanks again for these.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Tajm appreciate the feedback and support 😁👍

[@bobbradford6838]

Why doesn’t every instructor teach it this way? Why is Danny the first instructor to provide this secret? Most KZbin advice for golf too complicated or doesn’t work but this works! I’m shocked as my anxiety for these awkward 30 to 80 yarders are gone! I tried this technique on the range and of the 200 attempts my worst one was OK and that’s because I forgot to put arms in a closer V and to my body. Otherwise over 99% hunted the target. If I can even do this 75% as well in actual 18-hole round as I did on the range it will eliminate 5 to 6 strokes! Game changer! Better yet this screw up-proof method is easy without thinking. Thanks Danny! These types of shots once an anxiety for me are now FUN with confidence!

[@davidfrancis8752]

@@DanielMaude I agree with David. Our course doesn't have but maybe 3 holes that are level. We have a lot of uphill, downhill, side hill shots. This exact shot is where I lose strokes in my game.

[@Loccutus28]

Thank you so much, Danny! I went out today at a Par 3 course and shot a good score and the biggest reason was using your "Pendulum" technique on pitching. I used to use a full swing even if it was just 15 yards, but your way is so much more accurate. I was setting myself up for pars instead of wasting strokes trying to get on the green. Thank you so much! You really made a difference in my game.

[@Letitbeism369]

This isn't really to do with the video above Danny but I just wanted to tell you that I watched 2 of your videos last week - chipping onto the green and hitting a straight drive. As a cutter/slicer/fader, the driving one was brilliant. I was playing in a medal so probably not the best time to start fiddling with set up etc but it worked a treat. Drove it as well as I have for ages. And the chipping one worked a treat as well. Shot gross 39, 39 for a net 69. Thank you for the information and the way it was put across - so easy to understand and then implement. It's a shame that I don't live anywhere close to where you teach - I would be right down for some coaching!!

Great lesson. Johnny Miller did a thing with wedges for Golf Digest back in the 0s. He used you idea of feet apart distance to help define distance. I used this for over 30 years now and can walk my wedges under 100 yrs shots by 5- 8 yards with full swings. By putting your feet closer together you can't go back as far and turn your hips either.

One thing I read somewhere (Pelz maybe ?) which has massively helped my pitch shots was to feel "dead hands" - for me it completely stops the tendancy you talk about, when players aggressively rush into trying to HIT a pitch. I'm still a bad golfer (for now 🤞), but 30-100yrd pitch shots have become some of my favourite shots to play. - do pretty much everything you cover with the setup but my swing thought is to keep my hands "dead", or feeling numb. That, combined with a few swing lengths for a couple of wedges has started giving me surprisingly accurate results. Great video, and good to see one on these type of shots as they're often overlooked. As always, clear and well presented - keep em coming 👌👍

I had forgotten about it but started using it a couple of weeks ago. It's a great shot for those scary pitches.

Thank you, Danny. Great video. You are such a great communicator. Your variation in your voice imparts to us the soft touch required of the short game shots. Two questions: Do you use the same grip as with your irons and driver? Why would my coach tell me to have good shaft lean for pitching?

What a great instructor! Crucial information that can be taken to the course and transferred to results. Yeah!

Thank you Dale 😁

Very well explained, can't wait to put this to practice. This has been the worst part of my game this year and I can't figure it out. Thank you!

Love to hear how you get on Rolly

[@gerrod1795]

one more great golf lesson. my problem there is that several times , doing this approach, the club head slip under the ball, an naturally the ball goes very less fare that I was hoping for .Do you have any idea about this?. Nice video

[@DanielMaude]

If this is happening it sounds like you have the right idea. It may be that the ball is sitting up in the grass providing more room for the club to slide underneath . If this is the case you may not be able to use the bounce as it would be like playing the wedge off a tee. Hover the club slightly off the ground. Have your weight spread evenly across your feet not favouring your front foot. Do this only if the ball is sitting up off the ground
