   Clay i want to thank you for all you videos. I started playing golf May 2019. I started with a game improving set or clubs I purchased about 10 years ago. I did have them extended for my hight. I played twice with them and went to a driving range a few times when my youngest son wanted to try the game. In May 2019 I asked a friend if he would teach me how to play golf. After about 3 weeks on the course I fell in love with the game. I felt silly with that 150$ set i purchased. I went to the pro shop at Tashua Knolls golf course in Trumbull Ct and asked the pro shop and club builder Mike to build me a set of clubs. He built me a set of Callaway Apex irons and a mix of hybrids and drivers. Thay are intermediate clubs. In June that year I was hitting 115. At the end of the season I was hitting 100. I have learned so much from your videos at the end of the season 2019 I couldn't wait to play after the winter. My goal was to hit 90 after the snow melted spring 2020. I ended this season with the best chipping most of the guys I play with and strangers that would fill a foursome when we played. Guess what im trying to say is your videos and how you speak and explain the techniques really helped me. I hope someday I get to see you in person. I tell everyone about your videos. You are the best youtube golf teacher out there. My goal for next year is a consistent 85. Thank you for all the time you spend teaching me how to play. Im 6'6" they call me BigJoe. Thanks again. Stay safe and healthy. Hope someday to play behind you or just on the same course the same day. Peace

   Isn't it incredible how much reason and logic and effort goes into hitting a small, non-moving target?

   Chipping more time on ground than air – pitching more time in air than ground.

   That was by far the best example of a chip and pitch shots I’ve encountered

   The addition of club selection for each movement was great and the information we all can use

    Great video on chipping and pitching mechanics. I really liked the slow motion video. What I learned is how much body rotation is used in these shots and not the hands so much. The pitching swing is just a bit longer, with more wrist hinge on the backswing. I've been struggling with my short game and look forward to working on this. The pitching swing looks like a mini full swing and the chipping swing is more like a putting stroke – simpler and more pendulum. I am using to my hands and arms and need to get my body turning more and opening up after impact on these shots.

    Is there a roll out ratio on longer chips where you don’t use a putting stroke

    I thought it was pitch and running (ball is low and runs out) vs chipping (high and stops). Backwards what I was taught. 🤔

    So if you’re in the rough around the green chipping is always advised?

    What if the grass is a little taller/rougher, or the lay is different? Some courses dont have such big skirts and I'm "pitching" from deeper stuff. I use a 56 with weight heavily on my back leg and ball back of stance. It works for me most of the time, but not as well off the skirt. I'll give these methods a go.
