Daily Video Tips
This has been one of the most helpful video lesson for my short game. I hitting with a great deal more confidence and accuracy. Thanks a ton!!
Good advice , I’ll have to implement it into my game .
no ! 60 degree ! 2 bounce spin, you cant land ball in rough !
Where should you place the ball in your stance for the chip that you demonstrate?
Middle to slightly back is the best spot !
When you refer to a 10 finger grip are you saying to not overlap the right pinkie and left fore finger: more like a baseball grip?
Yes more like a lot of putting grips !:)
Yesterday your tip included the ball in the middle of your narrow stance. Today, the ball was behind your right foot. Is that because of the 9 iron?
It depends on how much loft you want to present and how much roll you want once it lands. More roll/ back ball pos.
I have the same question as Roger K. Has this be answered? If so, where do you find the response?
A really helpful and simple to execute tip. Also being told about which club to use is very useful.
What about grip pressure. Do you recommend a tighter grip with left hand to prevent right hand from getting to active. I play I n Florida with soft sandy Bermuda.
If your lie is thicker , you might need more grip pressure . But generally a medium pressure is what I recommend so the wrists are quiet but supple.
Qestion 1: In addition to the weaker grip and not hinging on the short backswing, do you recommend opening the club face a bit to use more of the bounce to avoid chunking the ball? Question 2: if you are in thick rough, do you use the same technique or do you now hinge and hold?
The weaker grip is best for short low chips . In the rough with bigger swings I would revert to your normal full swing grip 👏🏻
