what club did u use?

[golfingrandy]

David used a PW in this clip but it is our philosophy to change clubs and not length of stroke to get the added distance for longer chips.

excellent lesson

[golfingrandy]

Thanks krizznan.

I hope it helps the games of all who viewed.

David, I've been using this for full shots and I'm hitting it CONSISTENTLY straight. My only problem is on par 3's when I tee it up, I'll pull the ball. But I finally have reliable pitch within 80 yards! Chipping is of course better. Thanks again.

BTW- my distance control with putter is also much better with this right arm technique! I should send you a check.

@Asone28 Great to hear... Good compression and impact alignments are crucial for solid ball striking and control

[willowgolf]

@GeraRRCd Thanks for the endorsement in the video. There are many ways to hit a chip or pitch... depending on what type of shot you want to play. This is just the starting point to help with good impact alignments and compression.

[Asone28]

this is by far the best video I've seen on how to chip and pitch. Using these techniques I'm hitting with much more confidence, my feel of the ball-club connection has improved a lot leading to consistently good shots around the green, thankyou!

[GeraRRCd]

I used your chipping technology today and even though I was a bit sceptical at first, it works tremendously well.

Much more secure than anything I've tried lately, so I recomend this to others that have problems with their chipping.

[willowgolf]

Because the ball position is in the centre of the stance and not the back foot there will be more loft on the golf club. This creates a high trajectory ball flight.

There is no right or wrong... just learn to compress the ball properly and then learn what different clubs and ball positions will give you in ball flight.

so with what you have shown, is the only difference is what you put into the swing? or is it height aswell? i noticed that the pitch shot went alot higher than the chipping, is that part of the difference?

[willowgolf]

You say you hit each of those clubs those distances.

Let me ask you... with what length swing and why always the same? A club isn't designed to go only one distance or a specific distance.

Practice making some half swings with each club and mark those distances... then 3/4 swings with each club. Now you have 9 yardages within 110y with a full, 3/4 and half swing. You should be able to cover most distances then.

I am a 8 handicapper and have a hard time hitting half shots. My specific problem is as follows: I hit the PW 110 yards, SW 80 yds, and Lob wedge (60 degrees) 70 yds. What is the best shot to hit to a flag located 55 yds away? The flag is about 10 yds from the edge of the green. I use a PROV1 Titleist Golf ball. The greens are on the hard side and the ball rolls from 1 to 6 yds depending on the type of shot. How should the shot be hit with each of the three clubs?
