HOW TO MASTER THE PITCH SHOT

[@VimMitt]

Sir, I am your fan about all your golf lessons. I feel like I am improving in short game after your lessons on short game. Can you make one video about green bunker shots?

[@petethomas7164]

Just the best golf advice/instruction available!

[@AtEboli]

thanks for the lesson, and what a dramatic setting, with the snow on the hills in the background and the ominous clouds in the sky.

[@rogerarmstrong1628]

Of all the golf instructors on KZbin, you're the one I would want to buy a beer and enjoy your sly wit! Plus you are very good at what you do, double win! I also love that google's subtitle engine struggles a wee bit with your accent!

[@warrendavis9458]

Warren. Best Chipping tip ever.

[@jamesfrankvancleave5674]

Frankvc Your ability to communicate and make it simple are the best in the business of golf instruction.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Thanks James

[@winhornby]

Wonderfully simple videos. And with a delightful sense of humour too! Good stuff Mr Johnston! Keep up the good work!

[@davidmeeks7449]

I think I could understand Steve better after a few beers, but I can say this: Pure gold here. Easy and reliable. “Don’t Be That Guy”’should be its own series.

[@davidmarshall5584]

"Don't be that guy" LOL, love the simplicity of your tutorials and talk track Steve, thank you it's appreciated !!

[@miker5502]

I'm liking the look of this…can’t wait to spin a few close ! Thanks Steve.

[@jameskent4453]

If I don't get the same results I will be calling, on my Android to let you know.

[@christophers.1517]

Wow! Love seeing your pitch shots stopping so fast after landing! Going to practice this tomorrow! Thank you, Steve!

[@TheSamouel63]

Tried out your method of pitching, works like magic...👍👍👍

[@janicetomaso2129]

Awesome chipping lesson! Thank you! 👏

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Glad you liked it!

[@toobad41]

You make it look so easy. Thanks for your effort to help us from across the pond.

[@josephbrumley7921]

You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you for what you do.

[@mickritchie1815]

This is gold. You can save so many shots using this technique. Well played SJ

[@shivdarshanjoshi6904]

Effective indeed. Great.

[@adriantierney7522]

thanks a great tip and it worked for me

[@brucewong3373]

You're awesome Steve!

[@paulallen286]

This guy is fantastic.

[@georgebonnier599]

You videos have completely changed my game. Mid 90’s to low 80s and continuing to improve. Thank you! Keep the videos coming.

[@fraserlawson8522]

When you talked about the hands moving forward, I realised why I sometimes $hank these shots. Thanks, Steve.

[@stevebrown5430]

Thanks Steve. Great video. I’m an 18 handicapper and these shots around the green are the ones I dread.

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

I’m an 8, and I still feel the pain...

[@Rovertt]

Great stuff. Love how you explained the "feel" to look for when pitching. Subscribed.

[@johnmartin5240]

A pleasure to view your down to earth and useful golfing tips. Great job Steve a sense of humour as well with that bobble hat you have to have. Cheers mate .

[@johndunleavy6863]

Very simple to follow Steve excellent stuff

[@SeniorTourers]

Great video. I am that player who stabs at my pitch shots and lets the hands drift from the body....you have shown me the solution. Thank you.

[@jwilkinson5855]

Steve you’re short game is mint. I’ll be trying this out as soon as the clubs opens again

[@mpassell]

I’ve always wondered what I had to do to have the ball check up nicely, I’m going to practice this immediately!

[@MrDriscoll4]

I really appreciate your videos. Your instruction has helped my game tremendously I never thought that I could play so well in such a short period of time. I also enjoy the instruction from the course that you play. I would like to put that course on my bucket list. Thank you very much!

[@LG-yo6mj]

I love your work mate. I'm one year in to the game, playing off 18, so pretty happy and keen as a bean to learn more. Your videos are fantastic at explaining the technical aspects of what is supposed to be going on at different stages of the swing - and you really answer the questions I basically didn't know to ask. I've had many - dare I say it - "Eureka!" moments when I've taken one of your tutorials and drills to the range and given them a whirl. Thank you!

[@windhamhornby1593]

Great video. Your demo of the nervous chipper was uncannily familiar. I am that golfer! And after years of looking for the cause for a fleeting moment I thought that it was because I didn't have an iPhone! But 'your left hand left thigh' mantra is great and emphasises the need to turn the whole body which of course is key. Many thanks again

[@frederickhess4705]

Your instructions are always on point

[@thebigeasy8609]

Sweet! Thank you Mr. Johnston! You have the best tips for us golfers and I use the word "golfers" loosely!

[@JC-xk6gv]

Great video Steve and a stunning background.

[@sergioreisman]

as always fantastic video, thanks

[@shauntaylor277]

Best pitching video I've seen. Thank you for making things so much more simple.

[@terrymurphy6367]

Great video simple tips hopefully will help out a single figure golfer who constantly struggles with his short game thanks

[@mgreyman]

really enjoy your videos and your methods. And with humor too! Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelheap5543]

Like it Steve. Will try this next time I’m practising and see whether I can get the ball to stop like you did!

[@tref51]

Brilliant and simple swing thought. Thank you Steve

[@dennisbull2918]

All very good tips I shall implement them in my practice routine, thanks, any good tips for my wayward driver would be appreciated,

[@LeeHobbies]

That's a tip I've been waiting for without knowing it. I'm better at flop shots than normal short pitches, and what you're describing here should help me to translate the action I use in flop shots into a more controllable pitch that'll work better. Going to dry this next week, cheers Steve, great stuff as always. Now, how the hell do I do a running chip, 8 iron maybe, and get the consistency in distance. It's all well and good me being ok at flop shots, but I got found out as soon as winter came and I was hitting off soggy, muddy lies all the time.

[@MattiasA72]

Thanks for the tip. Will try as soon as the ground thaws out here in Sweden.

[@kennethsplaine1149]

Great lesson while attempt on course and range!! Thanks :-)

[@bobbyd7553]

Now I know where I've been going wrong - i.e. trying the 'steer' the ball. Just been practicing it (indoors) and it feels really good, so as soon as I can get onto the practice range I will give it a try. Such good simple advice. Thanks Steve.

[@inspection62]

As always Steve great video it's a shot I've always struggled with but understand it a lot more now sure to save the video to keep me reminded Cheers Brendan

[@gerrymarsden812]

Great vid, again simple steps with great results. Love it

[@bernardduffy3300]

Hi Steve! I am still working my way through your back catalogue. This is an excellent tutorial - but I never expect anything less. I was so relieved when you said that this works for any make of phone; but you did not say whether it works for any colour of glove! I will buy a red one if I have to...LOL!

[@johnmcgeown6578]

Terrific tutorial again Compelling viewing Many thanks 👏👍

[@blackdawg7778]

Impressive spin! Left hand to left thigh- like it 👍

[@stevegordon3336]

Looks so easy gonna try that great tutorial thanks

[@marcmanion4264]

This is GOLD!!!! Three things: 1 Eureka stance helps spin 2: You will love the sound of the ball landing 3: Wearing a RED glove helps!

[@georgethomson5922]

Simplicity at its best.

[@craigsolberg2446]

As always, an awesome tip and great tutorial. Very informative and easy technique to work on.

[@williamvickers2226]

This gave me spin like I never had before. I can make the ball stop when I pop it over a trap or mound to get at a pin.

[@devonmccalla498]

I’m definitely that guy. Will be practicing this move tonight at the range. Thanks

[@mikefixac]

Me too.

[@hughesy6762]

Perfect tip, Defo been that guy that’s knifed a few across the green in the past, this will build confidence tho. Looks peaceful at cardona Steve, cheers again 👍

[@davidholly9271]

Just went outside and put it to work. Great advice

[@SELFINDUSEDCHAOS]

great tip

[@kenhenley4656]

Excellent content. Thank you

[@2putts2win]

Great tip Steve, you gotta be chomping on the bit for some warm weather . . . . thanks Pro.

[@paulsadd4219]

Excellent tip and simple too...quick question though....if you are cutting across the ball a bit where is the club face aiming? Bang on the pin or slightly left?

[@poopymcgee]

Gotta practice the feel

[@mjsgolf7004]

6 mins in and it has to be your illegal wedge Steve ! Beautiful course, great advice, thanks pal

[@chinkuan1430]

ready to chant golf mantra again! left hand to left thigh.

[@suechandler2393]

Great video. Noticed you cocked your wrists then kept it. How does this change in the rough? I have no tools for a side hill down hill chip or pitch ( new to golf and not much finesse on ugly lies) You are helping me immensely. Thanks

[@johnmcintyre3459]

Great video Steve

[@superduperawesome6858]

👍great stuff! Being able to play that shot with that consistency is such a powerful tool to scoring. My lad can do it with some consistency but not me - need a bit more practice.

[@donnie830017]

Great tip!

[@robertmanns3709]

Super little magic touch

[@berriejasper2631]

Great tip and easy enough instructions to apply, tried it this morning, I like it. Many many thanks. Do you have any simple drills like this for drivers please

[@alvor2762]

So helpfull and with the usual good humour. Thank you.

[@tonyfrostad2730]

Nice tip

[@wiki0531]

Great video Steve, I wonder if you could demonstrate hitting a bunker shot to a pin 15 to 20 yards away. I have no problem getting ball on green but cannot develop shot to carry ball to distant pin. Thanks, Carl

[@FF04RDF]

Loved that !

[@lawrencemalcheff9804]

I'll let you know today! Don't make me come to Scotland for ya! 🤣💪👍 Thanks again! I know it'll work with practice. Amazing video thanks again!

[@stevedickson3037]

Another great video, I’m certainly guilty of being ‘that guy’ from time to time.

[@leeburling4849]

Smithworks 58 degree wedge?? Tp5 or prov1 ball 👍👌⛳

[@dafyddjones4563]

Great video and great advice, what would be the max distance you could use that stance/set up?

[@MykolasGilbert]

Great tip, Par saver! and maybe a few birdies!!

[@barryhill6482]

What is the degrees of the first chipper, Sir.

[@cousinkennytv6634]

Same technique for playing out of bunkers for the check? Great video as usual.

[@billpilling5725]

Kept thinking "here comes a smashed camera..." 🤣 Great tip Stevieboy!

[@FuNnYStUnTvIdEoS1423]

What club are you using

[@swgrant2000]

You had me at; "I don't want to be that Guy"....about Sculling it over the Green.......

[@rickroy4556]

Great stuff there Steve. What degree were you using on the last 4-5 shots that were checking up so nicely?

[@brianjohnson8918]

Who provides your phone service? I want to be sure & get this tip exactly right !

[@blackdawg7778]

Question: is the weight 60% on the LHS for this shot and also where is the ball position (middle etc). Cheers

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

Low Trajectory, High Spinning Pitch. Needs a Good Lie, almost NO Grass between Ball and Clubface. Ball Position is Right of Center with minimal Forward Shaft Lean.

[@marioperreault]

Steve, tell me, where are you located? Is it wonderful!

[@davewatts7444]

What ball are you using Steve

[@tgl9466]

You should have more subscribers than Rick shields Lol Fantastic instruction.. wish i lived closer.

[@tigerbricks]

Does Soft muddy ground have a negative impact or something we should be aware of ... this is a cause of lost strokes for me

[@alvor2762]

Steve, if its possible at anytime could you do something on grip thickness as I see a number of golfers using larger grips. Has grip thickness changed in light of the less handsy modern day swing.

[@thomassmith878]

What kind of wedges do you use ?

[@terryshorrock2458]

Where was the ball positioned in relation to your feet please Steve ?

[@gordonrennie300]

Looking good Steve, great tip and fantastic execution👍

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Cheers big man👍👍

[@timbland3632]

Hi Steve I tried this tip and your victor tip left hand strong right hand weak and had great success thanks again mate.

[@timneal5617]

When I do that the ball goes left. Is it the open face that makes it go straight? The online shots show feet left ball goes straight or even right. Confused.

[@kylesinclair203]

I must have missed it, what was the first club used? SW? PW? Gap?

[@davidmyrbakk6885]

I was wondering that also, for the 1st club :)

[@leeburling4849]

smithworks 54

[@CoachSully44]

I was literally thinking "what if someone doesn't have an iPhone?"... and then you answered my question 😂

[@150372dsr]
