wow this is great. Went out today and measured 1/2, 3/4 and full swings with lw, sw, gw and pw, makes the game so much easier around the green! I also did that one- handed chipping drill earlier before sharpening my wedge control and that helped with my pitching technique. Thanx a heap dave.
@iGolftv And if the video was teaching 3/4, 1/2 and full swing to offer 3 pre determined distances with each club offering 9 set yardages I would agree but this video offers 3 set distances from the one swing meaning big gaps and very little distance control IMO
@tatchy1001 The part of the video I am responding to is distance control. iGOLFtv has set yardages for a certain swing and club. I have developed several swings and clubs in which I use similiarly. I am expressing my own method of distance control. The comment was more for iGOLFtv, I see you have found this video to be very negative.
@theMANxGOLFER I use a very similar system to yourself only with 4 wedges and it is a pretty strong part of my game as a result. But that system goes against the advice on this video which (unless I've missed something) suggests using 1 swing and changing the club and therefore only being accurate method if you are able to lay up at the exact yardage you hit that 1 swing. I just think the video claims the method offers more than it does IMO
That is the biggest load of shite I've ever heard. How the hell is that an awesome tip and like cheating you bell end. It's got nothing to do with controlling your distance. If you walk 10 yards further and do the same thing you'd hit all 3 clubs over the back of the green into the bunker FFS.
You may as well be telling people a full 5 iron goes fuirther than a full 7 iron!!!!!!!!!!!!
@tatchy1001 Hey Tatchy pro golf is focused around distance control especially from 120 yards & in. The propose of the tip is to help players understand the importance of figuring out how far they hit each wedge. If i hit my pw 115yds with a standard swing, let's say on the 1st hole i only have 105, i know that i have to hit the pw a little softer than standard. Having spent time with Justin Rose, Lee Westwood, Scott Drummond & many other top players, Im only explaining how & what they practice

@iGolftv If the tip was to basically say learn how far you hit each club then make your normal swing I wouldn;t have a problem with the video but it is made out to be some form of (in your own words) cheating to know if you hit a full wedge a certain distance then hit that club from that specific yardage and it will be the right length. It then makes it completely useless if you're not at that exact yardage which is where amatuers try to change their swing to reduce/increase the distance.
@tatchy1001You obviously know what your taking about & i think the confusion or bad on my part was saying "it's like cheating",the contexts that i meant with this concept is,if a player practices & prepares more intelligently they are without question gaining a competitive advantage over the field & there competitors, because many pro's & certainly 90% of all amateurs quality of practice is almost a waste of time.The premise behind every video i make is to practice smarter & score lower! dm
@iGolftv Fair enough then. I have watched some of your other videos and they are pretty good but just found this one to be a little strange as it suggest players use one swing and change the club to hit it different yardages yet as you've admitted if the distance isn't the perfect number you'd have to swing softer (defeating the advice in the video)
@iGolftv and by the way I was a teaching pro for 6 years before becoming a technical rep for Callaway during which time I worked with staff players on the fitting side and those guys practice their distance control in slightly more detail than hitting their wedges flat out with 1 swing. Like I said 10 yards closer and this whole tip is useless as it was explained IMO

okay this is a dumb tip. of course if you have three different clubs you can hit it three different distances. For each club, you are going to have the same swing for the maxed out distance. This tips only makes sense if you have the correct distance for you game. Lets say for him, what if he was 100 yards out? then you have to adjust your swing and feel out the distance. The yardages that he picked where the perfect yardages for his clubs and that rarely happens.
@BDiddy106 Hey man i definitely see where your coming from, however this tip is something that every PGA Tour tournament player does, they actually try to lay the ball up to an exact distance from the tee or on a par5 they cant reach in two.
It is kind of aimed at the more elite player however you should practice getting one yardage that you luv & then if you cant reach the green try and hit that spot/number instead. Example favorite yardage is 75
@iGolftv in response to you're answer to BDiddy106. what happens if you have 228 yards want to hit it 153 to leave 75 yards and you're either between clubs to hit it 153 (in which case you couldn't lay up at 75 without manufacturing your second shot risking hitting a bad one, or you get a big bounce and it goes 163 and you have 65 yards to go with a bunker at 75 yards??????? yet again it makes the tip completely redundant as you'd have to take some off this "one swing" technique yes?
@iGolftv They aim for a certain yardage to leave their favourite wedge distance but but as I've mentioned even they don't hit it every time and if they do miss it they certainly wouldn't just take a full swing knowing it would fly the wrong distance which again makes the tip pointless the way it was explained. I've yet to see a tour pro of any level have such control of their distances that wouldn't mean they weren't exactly at thei "one swing" distance

@tatchy1001 good point . good golfers know their club distances with one golf swing , but great golfers know their club distances with many golf swings ,
@Hunterzinanti Hi Hunterzinanti, appreciate you taking the time to comment. This tip will really work for you, it's what every top player in the world focuses on especially from inside 120 yards. Hope you get some new ideas from some of my other videos as well.
