Starting to feel the difference between a core-lead swing vs arms…thanks! Posture (knee bend,…) ok? Appreciate any feedback.

Looking good Jeff. I'd love to see a little more post up on the lead leg to straighten it through impact. Pull with the glute and hamstring to straighten it up

Hi Chuck, This was a 20 yard uphill chip to a higher tier with a 54 degree wedge. Felt like the contacts were good but I got a variety of trajectories for some reason - some through a lower ‘window’ and others seemed to pop up a lot. Any thoughts welcome. Love the all the videos and explanations. Excellent content. Thank you. Nick

Hey Nick, the varying traj is being caused in large part to your head moving away from the target during the backswing. It needs to stay centered or even move slightly forward on these shots

Little aggressive with the arm, try to get a little more fluidity in there so the club brushes the ground without coming down so steeply

Started the wedge shot practice today. Seems similar to a pitch without the early wrist hinge and a little more core rotation since the club is coming further back.

Looking good! Make sure you feel more balanced and relaxed as you come through, you kind of fell fwd to your toes a little

Using a Mevo+ to practice indoors until the weather shifts. What is the ideal Swing Path Angle and Face to Target Angle? Am I trying for as close to 0 for both

I didn’t use a launch monitor for any of these shots. I simply focused on how my ball landed on the green and reacted, and whether or not it went toward the target.

Hi, progress check for the 20m wedge. Ball sounds very different coming of the club compared to my old swing..

Looking great! You can quiet down the forward press to make it a little more subtle and you will tone done some movement to give you a little more feel and control

Tried the skills challenge at the indoor range today. It took me 48 shots to get my 100 points but the clustering was very solid. Here are the results - Note the Standard Deviations. Couldn't be happier! CARRY (yds) OFFLINE (yds) AVG 19 0.4 l DEV 1.9 0.41

What is the difference between a 20 yd pitch shot and 20 yard wedge shot. What is the purpose? Is the 20 yard pitch shot the entire length of the shot vs the 20 yard wedge shot which is the ball actually flies 20 yards?

Yes exactly

Why hit a pitch shot vs a chip shot 20 yards?

Ideally you want to keep the ball rolling on the ground as much as possible, but if there’s no Green to work with, you, must carry it there

What would you say the biggest difference is between the pitch shot and the 20 yard wedge shot?

More wrist set and body rotation.
