I enjoy the short shot videos and instruction, but I rarely hear about bounce. Bounce can be a factor depending on lie and the type of grass, yet no one seems to talk much about it. Further is degree of loft. What sand wedge are you using? Those details would make the instruction much more rich and helpful Thank you.

Love the video! I usually use my 8 iron in all those situations because that is what I'm used to with different swing tempo's. Some call me "soft hands" to do that stuff. But I like your explanations to the different types of shots which I plan to give a try to..Your video is clear on what I should look for & do. Thanks!

Is it the same set up for a 5 wood. Great tips. I constantly struggle with my woods. Can't wait to try this.

Editing the video - how many takes did were needed to make this video? I like your tips, but when I see the editing errors, golfballs disappear, clubs change position and number of clubs, I lose confidence.

I like you talking about using different clubs in short games.

Does the impact snap device used properly give you the same effect?

Why do you try and de loft a club that has a certain degree associated with it ?
For example why would you want to de loft a 7 iron when it’s designed for a certain distance at full swing ?

Excellent video. One of the best I have seen. For some reason I always play with my approach anywhere around the green. It is my go-to iron with hit/miss success rate. I will definitely experiment with the different irons and plan to improve getting closer to the pin. Appreciate the demo very much.
