Don't you ever touch my little white balls without asking!

[4golfonline]

Great video. Very clear and easy to follow.

El golf no es deporte, el golf es Ocio y una completa porqueria para vagos parásitos humanos, sin oficio ni beneficio, buenos para nada. Son tan flojos que ni caminan estas porquerias golfistas, necesitan de un carrito para ir a la otra cancha de golf. Mas deporte seran los video juegos que esa porqueria del golf.

[TMCVIII]

Wow; what's with all the anger and hostility? It's just a golf video... If we want to improve our pitch shots, we watch instructional videos, which makes us golfers.

Todd Anderson is a Golf Digest Top-100 teacher; I think he's the head pro at the Breakers in Palm Beach.

ill pit shot my fist in anyone that takes golf seriously golf if for queers

[taobhchlea]

3 spelling mistakes in a one sentence, I suppose school is for queers too eh : )

[zIITaLeNTzIIz]

Spelling mistake. Eh isn't a word suppose school is for queers after all.

[taobhchlea]

Eh, yes it is. That makes you double queer.

[82PeRK]

lololol.

lolol

[DaDonnieDawg]

You want to put your fist in us and we're queers?

Hm......

[calddani]

you guy are so fucking gay and retarded golf is the gayest sport in the freakin world. fuck you all

[watthwqo]

then why the fuck are you even watching it. lmao i hate people like you who dont even have a clue about what the fuck their talking about. dumbshit.

[peiterson07]

if you all spent less time bitching, youd be better players. its like what i tell my son, listen to people who know better that you and those who dont listen to them to.

[ragoer675]

An old golf buddy of mine (pro) has a pretty good program out now that guarantees you'll get under 80 in two weeks. Golferbreak80dotcom

[ULar0071]

if you think it's a great video and the advice is solid, then who cares who the guy is? If it makes sense and improves your game, it could be Dick Cheney!

[4golfonline]

great video but who is todd anderson????????

[IcyHotProductionz14]

I prefer using my flop shot, but it's great to know all the other short game shots. Great video.

[Gyro911]

I dont understand why amateurs have the audacity to disagree with this guy. He's a pro and uses proven techniques

[BrngBckOldCOB]

This guy looks like the guy on the show "To Catch a Predator."

[webbum]

Why is the butt of the club pointed at a target line that sits behind the ball?

I thought the target line was suppose to be inline with the ball.

[hachiegolf2010]

you are wrong and right bottomley2. you want your hands leading the shot, but at impact it does return to the same postion

[bottomley2]

This is the worst advice ever. You are the exact reason why average golfers suck. How come Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer ever, says you should try and get the clubhead in front of your hands as soon as possible on the downswing. He says you should have the club sitting vertical at address and then return it to there. YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR HANDS LEADING THE SHOT. Don't believe me watch tiger, or look up Jack. Not some chump named Greg Anderson. Please remove this video!

[kbakken1]

bottomley2:

What are you talking about??!!?

The hands always lead before the clubhead. Even at impact, the hands are ahead of the clubhead, and the clubhead goes down through the ball taking the divot after (except for the Driver where it goes up, hence putting the ball more forward in the stance).

The hands lead the club, the shoulders lead the hands, the hips lead the shoulders.

Go ahead and look at slow motion vids of Tiger. You will see this.

[kbakken1]

A great video illustrating this is:

[delinquent3241]

he isn't the reason average golfers suck. The reason is because the average golfer is not athletic and they just suck.

[bognorboy101]

couldent agree more on a pitch shot u dont want your hands leading the shot the position you have at adress is the postion you should have at impact and keeping straight wrists with the follow through

[keefgan89]

bottomley in the game of golf, u have to have hands leading the clubhead unless u wanna scoop it and hit skinny shots.

please know what ur talking about before posting a comment

great video

[advalante]

great,thanks for the tips

[bells11967]

your looking the wrong way

[bye2708]

Yeah Uzi, you only use a 60 degree wedge because you don't have any skill. Why would you open up a 60 degree wedge. Use a 56 degree wedge (a sand wedge) for a pitch shot.

[smoothswinging14]

maybe he opens the lob wedge to use the bounce on pitch shots.

[callumbeavan]

if u open up a 60 degree wedge you'll be playing like a flop shot

[qbb01]

it's only a slight increase in loft, plus hitting down on the ball delofts it by about 5 or more degrees anyway. plus flop shot is more of a straight shaft at impact rather than hands ahead of the club head.

[jarboe413]

which club is better for a pitch like this, lob wedge or sand wedge?

[dontwetyourpants]

depends on the distance

[706d]

nice video, thanks!

[kubiak1989]

yea that will cause you to flip at the ball and it increases your chances of hitting the shot thin

[chadtsai]

I also saw a video demonstrating the pitching shot, however, the guy did not lift his right heel at the end of his 40~60 yard pitching shot. Is it good to keep your right foot on the ground? How do you recommand?

[pecky1234]

depends

[antillmusic]

This is really helpful ... good clip

[raycroft123]

any tips to hitting a 60 degree

[AnthonyTheSage]

beautiful looking pitch. cheers

[herman8r12]

Very helpful, Thank you!

[dopekr]

some pretty good information! and aways remember: dont take the club too far on the backswing and deccelerate thru the shot. aways accelerate, even if it means making a shorter backswing =)
