I'll have to try my local Driving Range, to see if my body is still up to it today, I'll let you know how it goes.

Great stuff Danny! I don’t use the clock system either but my short game really improved once I practiced how far all my wedges flew from an easy, connected rib/chest high swing. Once I figured that out, it was simply a matter of pulling the right club for the right distance. Easy Peasy!

My bounce is what is aimed at the front divot, the closer to the face toe means less spin. Trajectory is influenced by ball position on ground, and body angle, tip or not but fixed. Seems to work for all ground iron shots, even 1 iron..😊 Very shorts shots with height and/or spin, splash sand or flop are easier with bounce contact under the ball.

This for my practice session tomorrow 👍🏻 Want to try and lose the feeling of hitting the ball hard from inside 80 yards and to do this, will try taking more club. 80 yards for me is a pretty full 52* so might try an easy PW. Thanks !

24 күн бұрын

It’s is certainly practice but use these tips to measure and give your practice feedback

Pitching from 50 to 80 yards is the biggest hole in my game. I'm looking looking for a pitch and one put to make par. Pitch and two puts is a rare success. Most common is to miss the green with the pitch, another stroke to get to the green from a really difficult chip or bunker shot plus two puts leaving with me yet another double bogie. I've tried the clock system but the key issue I have is anxiety about uncertainty which leads to snatched shots or slow duffs. So everything you say in this video is a source of hope. Stop the mechanics and build the feel. Playing squash and badminton years ago, one of my point winning shots was the drop shot - all feel. So as you suggest I'll redevelop that lost skill for golf. Thanks for this reminder.

This video is for advanced players its not easy. I do this instead. I just narrow my stance more and more and choke down on club more and more as I get closer to the pin. Backswing also shortens naturally, you just dont feel like swinging hard once you are more and more narrow and gripping down. Otherwise my swing is same as full one. And the less I think about it, with this simple setup, the feel takes over and results in solid shots. Just to give an idea, my feet get close like his only when I am around the green inside 30 yards for chipping. Also he doesnt choke down which I think isnt easy for average golfers.

@mrfatuchi

Well I was misunderstood then. When I say all summer, I just mean my usual once a week session would be either range or short practice area which means thats 2-3 times a month. I went 1 once a week max to short practice. Thats how it is for your casual amateur who works. And it is advanced in that its another type of swing to add to the bag. Maybe its easy for you who does this for a living but its not easy for casual like me.

@robertcourt8593

22 күн бұрын

From 50 to 80 yards you're not going to get up and down very often. The best in the world are not getting up and down from that distance very often. I've improved a lot since I started using less loft to pitch with, pw or gw rather than 56° just try to get it on the green close enough to 2 putt. You'll make the odd putt from distance and get the odd one really close. I shoot around the 90 mark and can shoot mod 80s at times and I barely hit greens in reg.

Awesome Danny!!! Cheers from California

You released a really good video on August 19th labeled "World's #1 Coach Reveals EASIEST Way To Hit Driver Straight" - can you elaborate on that downwards movement and perhaps talk a little bit about the sequence with iron shots as well? That video really resonated with me, and I've looked through your other videos, but you don't seem to talk too much about it elsewhere. I know you talk a lot about the 45 degree arc, but the downwards motion with arms, combined with a pivot did wonders for my swing. I hope you can make a future video about it. Cheers

The simplest thing to do at first is to focus on hitting the centre of the the club. I know that seems over simplistic but place an alignment stick or club in front of the ball pointing directly at the target. Now simply aim to hit the ball with a square face out of the centre

What bounce should you use please Danny? Here in Australia we can go from hitting off ground that's like concrete to like hitting off jelly within four feet of the same green. I never know whether it's the amount of grass the ball is in that should determine the bounce or whether it's the hardness of the ground under it??

I have been dealing with the shanks with chipping. Any help would be great

@DanielMaude

23 күн бұрын

Spray the face with foot powder spray to see if you are hitting it off the toe or the heel. Then simply give yourself the task to hit the centre of the club face. Just like many others sports your body will learn to figure out how to hit the centre

Posture is super important on these little shots, don't rush to admire the results, keep your posture thru impact. Personally, I like to stand open on these "tweener" shots.

That's my wheel house with my pitching wedge because I am a short hitter and my wedge is usually only 100 yards max swing.

I will pay closer attention to my shots of the distance covered here because it's been potluck with me so far as to whether I get the club under the ball to give it any loft. Weight over the lead leg is an issue.
