stinger tutorial ?
brilliant and funny as
Just wondered why you remove the glove to putt? Does this give any benefit to putting?
Around the green is the one place that I make up shots on those I play with; although usually not enough to make up for all the shots it takes me to get within 60 yards of the green. The best tip I was given for flop shots like this was to take the club away on the outside and hit the shot out to in (something I unfortunately do with most clubs). This really helped me to get closer to tight pins, also helped me out of green side bunkers.
I like the way you make several practice swings back and forth before hitting the shot. It relieves tension and enhances feel, which is something I struggle with. I'm going to try that.
Great video. Good to see you showing going for the pin is not always the best option. 👍
I watched this video early yesterday morning. Jumped in my car and spent 3 hours on a chipping range. It took a minute to get use to the grip you talked about, but I have sincerely gained at least 60 % more confidence. Cheers mate. I genuinely had zero prior to yesterday. I’ll keep on it and use different wedges and such. Thanks for the content. 🥃🏌🏻🥃
The short instructionals are great - loved the ‘I don’t know why I was excited, I do that all the time’. Golf . . . lovely when it brings the child out in us 😉
Massive thanks for this video Pete! Got out yesterday and was practising on the chipping green at my local course, no hazard or anything in front of me mind you. Put these tips into action on about a 20-25 foot chip and found I was dialling it in to within a few feet, even holed a few!
Pete, loving the drone view, a nice touch.
Actually a shot I am quite comfortable playing. Rate myself a Upper Proficient especially around the greens. New clubs are helping the game now, great content as always.
Great video. I’m a new golfer but oddly these are the types of shots I’m confident over.
Nothing scares me more than a shot over water. But I’d love to see a video on how to keep drivers straight. Thanks Peter
There is NO WATER there. You're just hitting a ___ yard shot on the fairway. I hope this helps.
Great vid Pete - would love to see this type of vid for 1) bunker - both fairway and around the green and 2) severe ball below you feet shot - my nemesis!!!
Great video, really well made. I would like another on chipping from a tight lie.
Great video Peter and thank you for the staged proficiency thoughts
Your videos are awesome. I really enjoyed this particular one. Growing up golfing with my dad and grandfather I ended up unknowingly self-teaching myself to pound the bounce by bringing the shaft back to vertical on impact. That was a little too high on the face and a little less spin for consistent distance control in some situations. I would love to see flop shot vs lower launch higher spin shots within 100 and that bunker shot from this video if someone missed it short and into the bunker with the different lies you may get in that sandy oasis.
Thanks very much for taking the time to make this video Peter, very helpful. Will be sure to practise a few of those techniques 👍
A good way to feel this shot ... take your stance as you were doing without a club and with a ball in your trail hand. Practice tossing the ball underhanded, with your trail hand, and get the feel of how that train hand moves. Then, grab your wedge, drop a ball, and hit a shot trying to remember and keep the feel of the underhand toss. Works a treat ... and can work in soft sand too.
I really like this approach to what shot to play... would like to see this style for course management and setting expectations...
Great video Pete! I really appreciated the different techniques, based on experience level. Would love to see a video showing different options, based on pin placement on the green. Putt, chip and run, conventional pitch, vs high lob. Showing when you might use each option, techniques etc.
When I was a kid, long before anybody told me it was wrong, I used to practice hitting wedges a little bit fat for situations like this. It worked really well, playing many more kinds of shots with something a little like bunker technique. This with an ordinary late-60s pitching wedge. These days I'm embarrassed to do it.
Hi pete, appreciate if you can make a video explaining on wedge bounce and selecting the best bounce for different types of golfers
Fantastic video, Peter! I'm gonna file it under "Wedges" as well as "Golf Strategy" because it's very useful in terms of thinking about our shots strategically. Thanks!
Great video Pete. Loved the breakdown of the skill level versus shot selection. Will practice this today.
Love to see a video with the same skill level breakdown from out of the rough, in trees etc
This will be greatly helpful. Thanks Pete. Great vid as always. I've been working on my chipping and flop shots lately so this will add in nicely
Nice video Mr. Finch!
"Do it, do it, do it......aaaaaaaghh"
Where have I heard that before?!
Love this shot personally looks great when you pull it off
Love you Pete
Nice one Pete, thanks
Super helpful!! Thanks !!
A very well technique and recommendation of hitting such a shot(s) for all levels of players. My addition is: clubhead location. To get the ball higher, utilize the "high-toe" portion of a wedges clubface. The more a ball spends time on high-lofted clubface the higher it will go and the softer it will land. So take note of your ball potion upon setup.
Great advice. I would put myself in the second category.
Just got some SM8 wedges and can’t wait to try this out mate! Great video!
Good video Pete. The scenario I'm not 100% not confident on is a flop shit over a bunker because of no green to work with. Video on that please for consistency 🙏
Great video more like this plz
Love to see a video on chipping from poor lies like heavy rough etc
commenting until pete comes to play with me: day eight
Hi Peter
Great video and instruction. Just started back playing after a 15 year gap and this shot ( even without the bunker) is already losing me shots. I used to play these ok but somehow now it’s putting the fear of God into me and resulting in varied poor results. If I go onto the practice ground it takes 20 attempts before I find the rhythm. I collect the balls and from the exact same spot it takes me 10 attempts before I get the rhythm.
And then guess what happens when I’m on the course ??
I make all the standard mistakes - grip to tight/accelerate to much on downswing/lift my head etc etc
I know the game has changed a lot from when I used to play and I do remember with these shots I used to really swing out to in ( probably with sand iron) but many of the videos I’m currently watching ( and yours has been the best) don’t seem to mention out to in much.
In other words I think I used to treat this shot very similar to a bunker shot - would that be correct in the “ modern” approach?
One of the great mental tips for these kinds of shots I heard from Nick Faldo, who advised not to think about what you DON'T want to happen, but think about what you do. So, don't think "Don't hit it in the bunker" because that sentence contains the words "hit it in the bunker" but to instead think "Get it on the green" or "pitch it on that fringe." That in itself won't make you an expert, but it changes the mindset to encourage success.
Hi Pete brilliant video as ever, but what about the bare lie shot ? Would love that to be the next video. It might also help Rick out 🤣
Instead of going for the flag on them kinds of shots I just make sure I make it on the green for a 2 putt. Yeah it might cost me an extra shot but it’s better than hitting it into the bunker and taking more shots trying to get out. Don’t be scared about taking an extra shot even though you could make it in 1 less but the risk vs the reward is 9 times out of 10 for average golfers is they’re hitting it straight into the bunker or thinning it off the other side of the green.
Love this content Pete keep em coming!!
When Pete gets 1,000,000 subs remember we are the OG’s
An elephant never forgets
Useful video. At this time of year often the area around the bunkers gets very compacted from people wheeling their carts around. How would you vary your method (if at all) on these tight lies?
On this shot, from this day forth, I swear to become an expert!
Love to see you doing this on much tighter lies than that nice fluffy one😌😉😉 lets have that vid👍
Great video (as always), Pete! How about a video on when you miss the green on the short side and you're in the spot where the grass is all trampled down away from flag/green. I struggle with this shot. Even by using the bounce, the grass will grab the leading edge. Any tips?
love your channel pete. great vids
I walk up to my ball in that situation like a guy going on his first bungee jump. Fear and terror take over! 😮🦘🦘
Did it yesterday in a comp on par 3, 60 degree over it bounced once and straight in, booom
I've been playing golf most of my life and I'm in the Inexperienced category for this situation so thanks for the advice on how to improve
the trick is never day to yourself "dont hit it into the bunker" because you will always chunk it into the bunker😂
This is so true. Mental game is just as important as the physical game in golf.
Love your instructions.çould have less idle conversation
How to help hit different height bunker shots!
My least favorite is a shot in the bunker with little green to work with thats also downhill. Its hard to explain but I encounter it constantly at my home course
Love the work Peter. I am working on a TH-cam channel at The Swingdom. Hopefully we can collaborate soon!!!!
My worst shot is hitting the ball when ist below your feet. I'd love if you made a video about that
On this shot from this day forward i swear to be an expert
Hi Pete, if the highest wedge I have is a 56 do I just do the same for proficient golfer but slightly shorter swing?
Literally walk up, look at the hole and just hit it. Don't give yourself a second to think about it at all or it's probably going in there 😂
That's how I like to play this shot also. Just don't even think about the bunker
That’s quite an easy shot to me but I had a lesson on this
Awesome video! I'd definitely fall into the newish category I feel. Last time I played a round was 10 years ago. I do have a question.
Would it be possible to use a 56° sand wedge for this shot? When I get more experienced with situations like this obviously. Don't currently own a 60° yet
The best way is to treat it like a hill. Golf is a good gentle man sport
My worst and scariest shot is around the green hitting the ball downhill from semi rough.
And add a bunker in between a downhill shot, from semi rough, and you have a nightmare shot.
How can i be an expert and not afraid of these shots?
As a fairly good proficient golfer what I do in this shot is simply not look at the bunker and just pick a spot where I want to land the ball. The more I think about the bunker I feel like the more likely I am to go in it.
How to hit the ball straight when your shot is a draw or how to control your draw?
Hi Peter. Send me that wedge and I'll give this a try.
Here’s my worst shots: Driving, irons, anything short, putting and anything else really 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else get those chips that hit the edge of the fringe and rocket past the pin/off the green?
I am an inexperienced golfer, and my typical approach to this would be to go long and try to leave myself an uphill putt.
I’m spraying in my bathroom at work as I watch this!!!!!!
Is spraying code for taking a dump?
Saw in a previous video you have been using arcos. Is there a review planned?
Dodgy music and open with "do it , do it, do it, oooooooohhhhhhhhh"......
Good work Mr Finch :) :) lol
I honestly prefer going over a bunker from a fluffy lie than being green side with a tight lie, I have to try so hard to have positive thoughts over that kind of shot. As soon as I think “don’t thin it”, it’s off the other side of the green 😂
I can hit every shot, except par 3 tee shot. 5-iron off fairway into par 4? No problem. 5-iron tee shot? Just hope it stays in play.
Was plugging my phone in at the beginning and thought I was on the wrong website for a few seconds 😂😂😂
I think easily the hardest shot in golf is...when the group in front of you lets you play through 🥶
Wish I'd seen this before last night on that par 3 😂 great video 👍🏻
How to hit stingers
Hi Pete, you have some great vids I like those that you and Rick take on meandmygolf and that one BATTLE GOLF I think you call it once a club is used its removed or something like that.
Question though why is it pro's can remove flags transfer clubs player to Caddie, Caddie to player yet we at the AMATEUR level are banned from removing flagsticks using Rakes etc . BECAUSE COVID19 DOES NOT CARE WHO YOU ARE IF ITS YOUR TIME . WHY ARE AMATEUR GOLFERS THE VICTIMS IN THIS CASE.
keep the help coming and let's see you rick meandmygolf etc play more courses and opponents. paul
Man! Watched your recent vid about chipping off of tight lies on Tuesday. Played comp Wednesday morning - first hole, rated #3, pushed 2nd shot 25 meters right of a short sided pin. Used your mid-stance, bounce technique for a 2 bounce hole out. YOU DA MAN!
Great vid. I would be somewhere between the proficient and expert level for these shots but am still a little intimidated at times on either extremely tight lies, particularly if it's a bit wet with grabby turf interaction. Here I find myself being concerned about the bounce on my SM7 60 deg - perhaps a touch too much. To make sure I get through, I do 2 things - first I limit the backswing to shorter than usual and really crunch through using tummy muscles to turn my body through with very quiet hands. Second, I always pre-visualise the clubhead in its finish position as I accelerate through. The shorter backswing reduces impact error, the higher than usual acceleration gives a better bite - especially using a very open clubface for a green sloping away from me, and the pre-visualisation really helps with getting through properly. Finally, I practice this shot *a lot* (at least 50 times per week) from very tight lies, into the grass grain (particularly difficult) and from downhill lies into a very tight landing zone (hellishly difficult). Over time you will gain the skills and confidence and it can really save you shots during the round. Many thanks and cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave
20 yard pitch out of a dead sandy lie to a tight pin
Sh*t man anyone who is scared of a golf chip needs to get some life experience. Seriously. Just experience a little death, abuse, homelessness, poverty, disability and loss of income to name a few examples, then when you come to play your golf shot you've got precisely zero fear. Because it just a golf shot. And you're lucky to be walking around on a course and playing golf. Then Ur relaxed. Fear causes tension. Tension is the enemy like with singing. Just aim at the hole and use the best tekkers U got. If it goes well, great. If not, learn something and do it better next time. It's just a golf shot...
Don't fear the bunker. Embrace it. Get good out of them... Then you won't...
Fear the chip/pitch.
Simple.
This and putting are the only 2 shots I can physically play. Multiple joint replacements due to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (36yrs of it) and limited movement means I can't actually perform a full swing. The wife got a hole with liftable handle for the garden so I can have some fun when well enough. Yep, I get severe pain payback, but it's fun and passes the time. Might invest in a 56 wedge (only have a cheap pw atm) to add to the fun with some obstacles. Great vid as always pal, they cheer me up when stuck in bed.
Can you do a tight lie vid, I so bad at them and always hit the ground.
I was going to ask this myself.
Pete, forget these shots, what's the best way to play 20-50 yds chip/pitch from rock hard baked lies? I've ran into this a lot recently, leading to plenty of thin bullets through the back and/or duffed fat ones 😭😭😭😭
Do you have a recommendation on the loft/bounce for this particular shot? Do you like having a 60 degree versus say a 56 degree, or a wedge with more or less bounce for this shot type?
Also, care to comment on Phil Mickelson's absolutely wild flop shot, where he opens up the club face and pops the ball almost straight up?
Fairway bunker has got to be the scariest and worst shot in my opinion
Great teaching video, I am definitely not new to golf but my chipping is not consistent. Your lesson shows me where my set up and swing are wrong. I look forward to getting much closer with my short chips! THANKS!
Bunker shots !! Have wiffle balls all over garden to practice chipping ! Have to borrow the neighbours kids sand pit to practice bunker shots !
great video - thanks pete. i've become quite proficient during lockdown in clearing an 8 foot conifer and fence in the garden with a 64 degree wedge - and landing it softly on a narrow strip of wasteground, stopping it before it rolls down the embankment onto the railway line. but, am yet to find this of any direct practical use on the course...;-) however, now, in my mind i see that conifer as the obstacle i need to clear on the course - not a scary bunker - and experience tells me i can clear that conifer. p.s you missed out the 'woeful' golfer category - which i'm in...
Hardest shot for me is a 40-50 yard shot. Just in between everything for me, too big to chip and too small for a full shot. For reference I'm a 16hc
Scariest shot in golf? I don’t think so mate.. it’s the easy chip and run just off 18th green when there’s a group watching.... all of a sudden you remember that shank you had 2 years ago and 🤬🤣
Lol - I got an 8 the other day from 3rd shot across the bunker. Like a fool I thought I'd be the expert when I'm inexperienced. Never again - until tomorrow, as I can't resist the temptation! Great video
Easily my biggest mental hurdle every round is defining what a successful shot looks like for me.
Too often I compare myself to the greats like Peter Finch or Andy Carter and to hit shots they would deem a "success" for their skill set.
Another great set of tips 👍🏼👏🏼 still can’t work out why some people give a thumbs down 🤷🏻 keep up the great work 😊🌈
My worst and most feared shot? Short chips out of rough. -_-
Just say OMG look at that bear over there.....as they all spin round to look where you are pointing pick the ball up and throw it next to hole... Easy.... :) Takes the headache out of tricky shots...
