Just found this older video and found it very good. I'm a big fan of Pelz's techniques. He used to be on the Golf Channel years ago. So, thanks for incorporating his lessons into your video.
Nicely explained and demonstrated Matt and thanks for making the effort (all those years ago)! I've been working on integrating some of the Pelz magic into my game and the strength of my short game has totally transformed golf for me. No doubt my grip/wrists are not as free as they should be and your demo has really helped visualise where I should try to get to. Keep up the good work and cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave
Colin Montgommerie says same thing. Tour players grip 1 or 2 , most players grip about 9. Great great video Matt, thanks so much. Bob Vokey says to trust the bounce, and highlights the best tip he heard from Lee Trevino, the left shoulder MUST keep moving
Hi Matt thanks for this tip and your vids generally. Really been enjoying your course vlogs and your collusion with some of the other you tubers. Could you answer a question re divots please? Do all clubs take them? I know as a general rule the angle of attack shallows as the club gets longer so divots would get shallower. For the average player (I know some pros take one with a 3 iron) is there a club at which the divot stops. with my 6 iron i don't seem to be taking one. The ball seems to fly Okish but the contact seems harsh unlike a full pw which seems to compress and feel / buttery effortless. Kind regards Martin
Well I had a go today and was so surprised! My distance control was a lot better and had a lot better feel. One thing I'm not sure is what would you said is roughly the minimum distance to do the method as today I found and less than 15 yards it was a little inconsistent.
+Anthony Cordisco if you have a flared lead foot it helps you with rotation, pulling it back can help but with the foot square on will limit it. Hope that helps
Matt, thanks for the work. The combination of the school footage and your video here is great! What about pitching below 30 yards? His full finish method works great for 30-100, but below that I find his book confusing. Any tips you can provide would be great!
good morning Matt, my name is Juan Reyes and I am planning a trip to the UK this autumn. I want to play a round ( which I would pay for) and take a lesson afterward. how soon should I book with you?
Hi Matt , also tried this and my ball striking and distance was much better , i went on and tried this very light grip with my other clubs , even the driver and my ball striking was much better , can i use the light grip for my other clubs ? thanks
Yes you can, most amateurs tend to grip it to hard in general causing a lack of release in the club head. I'd say on a scale of 1 - 10 ( 1 soft 10 strangling it) try and grip it round 4 when making your full swing and 3 when you are pitching and chipping
The Dave Pelz pitching method simplifies this wonderful game and has helped me tremendously. Thank you for sharing this video. Well done Matt. Cheers
Pelz is a short game genius and good teacher, really learned a lot from him. Thanks for passing along the good tips
That awesome Matt, all of your buddies are playing T100’s, Rick, Andrew, and Peter, that’s great 😃

This is more for pitching so from 30 yards upwards. I will be doing a chipping one soon, so stay tuned & glad it's helped
Yeah thought that it was because from 15-20 yards I was using a lofted club so obviously have to hit it harder. And great!

thx matt , teally enjoyed that , il be down the practice area doing the light grip and follow through .....thx for sharing what you learnt ......jules
Interesting stuff! Pitching is my weakest part of my game so I'll give it a go! Keep up the good content
great video Matt, I'm down the range practising that , ty mate for sharing , I'll be using pw 52 and 58 ... 👍👍👍🏌️♂️⛳
Definitely going to give it a go hopefully losing a couple of shots per round will see me in single figures cheers Matt
This was really useful. Where can I find the follow-up one on chipping?
Thanks Matt! Keep up the good work
Cheers Anthony, glad the video could help. Some more shortgame stuff coming soon as well
Matt Fryer Golf
Great video and thanks 👍🏻
Are you playing off the inside of your left heel? How much of your weight is on your front foot?
He says equal weight distribution you fuckin mook
Good stuff Matt

Nice vid Matt, did you find out the brand of the tripod used for shot tracer
So by the way it looks ur letting the bounce of the club work as you sweep through am I right in what I see?
Matt could you comment on flared left foot (forward foot) vs. pulling it straight back from the target line
+Anthony Cordisco if you have a flared lead foot it helps you with rotation, pulling it back can help but with the foot square on will limit it. Hope that helps
well explained

potato129 id watch my how to chip video generally anything under 30 yards id class as more of a chip so that should help you
good morning Matt, my name is Juan Reyes and I am planning a trip to the UK this autumn. I want to play a round ( which I would pay for) and take a lesson afterward. how soon should I book with you?
Morning Juan, I would recommend booking roughly a month before. My email is in the description of you have anymore questions.
Very helpful even though I am a beginner.
+Kath Fordham that’s great news Kath, how long have you been playing?
Matt Fryer Golf Hi Matt, only been learning for a few weeks. Having group lessons , really enjoying it.
can one utilize that method in say 7,8,9 irons as well. great video
If you intended to play a pitch shot then I don't see why not. It's just a pitching method so with those clubs you'd hit a lower running type of shot
