love it when a new clay video comes out! My wife is an angel. She doesn't complain when I mow a 10 foot fairway in our backyard that is one setting lower than the rest. 😄 I like the towel idea. I've been using home depot buckets with my practice balls.

I wish we had one of those target ranges out here, looks like really good practice. Thank you for the pitching tips. Definitely going to work on these this weekend.

For Low flighted wedges we want the launch angle under 30 degrees. It's very difficult with a 60* wedge. Secondly I think a big miss conception is the desired shaft lean. Shaft lean is a product of delivery and not something we can consciously try to achieve. It's the same as a math equation. Delivery has to be correct or no matter how much shaft lean you aim for you won't get it. As part of the shaft lean discussion I think a common miss conception is what the hands and arms are doing. Their sole purpose is to move the club up and down while the body provides the rotation. Once I started working on my swing with that in mind, I stopped trying to manipulate the club. The swing feels correct and my ball flight significantly improved, so much so I can shape it any which way I want and I gained distance throughout the bag. On top of that spinning a ball back isn't that difficult with a gap wedge, pitching wedge, 9 iron, and sometimes an 8 iron. It takes a premium ball first and foremost.

Love to see you out on the range than the stu

I knew there must be something good about growing up on a Lol ;-)

You mention a weight shift in transition. You should start these with your weight already mostly forward. The shot is less than a second long in time. With your weight already forward it's 1 less operation to do. Just keep it there and rotate. Consistency and efficiency go up.

Clay do you let gravity dropping the club to hit the ball or are you swinging soft.

[Blue_Dun]

Lots of questions. For one I noticed after you mention getting the weight to your left side @4:08, and you proceed to hit some, the ball appears to be way forward in your setup. At least on a number of your shots. Is that correct or is it just camera angle? Im assuming the ball should be in the center of your stance?

Concrete and golf ⛳️ do not mix. It's like fingers going down a chalk board, Styrofoam being rubbed together any time a ball finds a cart path or concrete. I just don't understand why they would make a concrete target. Why not a high lipped grassy bunker protecting a flag. A lot more challenging, and a helluva lot more fun.

Holy crap I didn’t know you are local here in lake Mary.

[timothycarry]

It looks like your feet are slightly open. Is it something to put in your setup?

[tfields]

I remember that backyard driving range...

[jayblack]

God if I could hit wedges off a mat I would never chunk!! 😅

Have watched countless videos of yours and one main topic comes up over and over, that being about de-lofting the club face at impact. In this video you stress that you want a loft of around 40-45° for the pitch shot using a 56 or 60° wedge. My question is if you want a 40-45° club face angle at impact, then why not use the 8, 9 or strong pitching wedge? Any club can be used to compress the ball if struck correctly, and I assume your reasoning is that you want the ball to roll up the wider face of the loftier club for spin, but if you're de-lofting the club face, aren't you defeating the purpose?

[galax]

That looks like you’re not releasing the club?

[darrenmcintosh]

So youre saying i should buy a farm in the midwest

[WheelzUp]

Teach me how TF u picked up, bounced, & balanced those balls with the club face to sit em down in ur setup zone
👏😆

[lookaquarter]

I bought a 76 degree wedge from play it again sports, cant wait to piss off my playing partners with it, and eventually hit myself in the face with a golf ball.
