One thing evryone should remember is a pendilum motion the same distance back as forward. That goes for putting too

[RingerDaMan]

@chrismoss420 I disagree. This idea tends to lead to people not following through enough. A shorter backswing with a emphasized follow through makes a consistently clean strike and actually helps improve feel for speed and distance. You essentially use a persons maximum effort instead of allowing them to vary the effort they swing the club.

Would you setup the same way for a 120 yard shot with a pitching wedge? I have trouble hitting 100 yd shots with p-wedge. Any setup tips you have would be great. Thanks

[RingerDaMan]

120 yards should be a full swing. Sometimes I open the stance up a bit and line my feet a bit to the left. It would take a rather lengthy explanation as to why, but you should still try to swing from the inside.

Very good fundementals explained very well. Good tips!

[tapsbetch]

I really improved my chipping because i tend to slow down on the downswing so after tht tip ive been constantly landing on the green thanks

it would appear that Steve Bishop doesn't know his left from his right.

@RingerDaMan yep, same for putting

it also depends how your lie is (chipping)

if your lie is bad (rough) you need to accelerate in order to keep your intended speed throughout impact

if your lie is better you can more and more narrow your shot to pendilum

@MarkRobertsHypnosis  It's all mental.

[MarkRobertsHypnosis]

This is a fantastic video for learning a powerful golf techniques. Interestingly, hypnosis can also be used in combination to tie these techniques into your muscle-memory to make these techniques automatic and natural.

@olivershoe line the ball in mid - back of your stance keep your head down and give it a full swing. Just make sure you stay over the ball. If you come out of it too early you will hit it thin
