"Everything is right, it's just 'Does it apply to you?'" That is GOLD.

Great information. We are so often trying “pieces and parts” of instruction, but don’t understand overall concept… so on to next tip…Everything does work… see PGA and LPGA tours.😊

Sean love the your thoughts on chipping. I teach the same way believing rotation is key even in smaller shorter shots. I just have one difference. I start people out with a little wider foot placement just for the fact you can feel weight shift easier with a wider base, plus with the lead foot they can feel the forward weight better. Then as they progress close the gap.

I followed your lesson this AM on the short game and it works so well. I also added your wrist angle deviation to my full swing and it worked really well with all my clubs. Your focus on rotation is a good nugget!!!

Nice instructions ☺️

[@jackhunt9364]

Excellent information. Thanks.

Glad it was helpful!

Couldn’t agree more

[@atfinthehouse8631]

That body attached to arms rotation is just the creation of a pendulum. Stable. Distance is then a result of mostly pace. The distance of the backswing to ending of swing post contact is less important.

[@chongannyap7562]

For less skilled players, the easiest way to manipulate trajectory is (1) static loft at setup ie. Open for higher, Closed for lower (2) ball position (3) Release ie. club head ahead of shaft vertical for higher launch, club head behind (deloft) shaft vertical for lower launch.

rotation,rotation and rotation

Please more caddie view of shots. Down the line shows the ball flight, but not body movement.

[@davemc1207]

Thanks guys for the great instruction, however shouldn't the video be titled "mastering pitch shots" because chipping is basically more roll than flight and all these shots are basically pitches, with chipping you could start with 6 iron to run, not just SW or LW as you guys demonstrate.

And every raindrop is different

Urmm... No they aren't...
Raindrops are not snowflakes 😂

[@MsRocketRoy]

Can't hear anything

[@arnoldvongvirath1088]

sounds of instruction are super low

[@robertbullard4266]

Too much talk and not very much on actual replicating the verbiage
