How I played this shot ⬇️

RELEASE 2
This shot was with a 56 degree wedge and I used my technique, meaning that the butt of the grip releases naturally to my belt buckle through impact. I gripped in the middle of the grip and had my feet approximat...

Chip & Run shot

The chip and run shot is your bread-and-butter short game shot, one that must be mastered first! It's perfect when playing onto larger greens and you need a lower-flight shot with more run

( THE ROUGH )

One of the most common mistakes I see in the short game is golfers either failing to rotate fully or not committing to their rotation. Even though it is a shorter shot, fully rotating through to the target is essential.

( PITCH SHOTS ) 35 yards 🎯
.
In this scenario, we're playing from the fringe to a pin around 30 yards away. This is a difficult shot because there's a steep slope that runs away from us down to the pin. To get this close, we need a shot where the bal...

( MANAGING SLOPES ) Ball above feet

When chipping around the greens from uneven lies, we often only need to make a few key changes in order to strike the ball well. In this scenario, we're playing to a pin 10 yards away, where the ball is above our ...

( TEMPO ) Gaining control 🎯

The soft-landing shot is one of the most important shots in the short game. It's a mid-flighted shot that lands softly onto the green with control, allowing you to access tighter pins and get it close on firmer greens. T...

Hitting the target 🎯

The soft landing shot is great for when we're short sided and need a shot with spin and control. In order to get this close, we need to make sure that the ball is hitting our landing zones consistently. If you find that you're ...

HOLDING THE FINISH! 🧠

Recently, I shared a video about why it's so important to hold your finish in the short game, especially when practicing. You can learn so much about how you release the club through impact just by paying attention to what happ...

HARD PAN LIES

Most wedges are designed with the sole cambered towards the toe to create some bounce relief. We can capitalise on this by placing the toe down, standing open, and swinging out-to-in to produce a higher shot from a tight lie!

RELEASE 3 🔥

Whilst not always needed, the lob shot is one of the most fun shots to play around the greens. Here, I needed to play a 30-yard shot up a steep slope, so I chose a shot that would stop quickly once it landed on the green.

( RELEASE 1 ) The Basics

The chip and run shot is a great one to learn first. You're 80% of the way to hitting a good shot just by nailing the set-up. In this scenario, we only changed one element in the swing to achieve better results!
