Fantastic video! Exactly what I needed. This has reduced my average score by four strokes per round. Now I have much more confidence from 100 yards in. Thank you very much Rob! 🙏
I'm an 80 y.o golfer. All his videos are great, and the S/T method is easier on the mind and the body. Golf is more enjoyable now. And it helps to have more wisdom in the mind and the golf bag at 80 than it did at 40. 😊
What a fantastic and easy to apply instructional pitching video Rob for these finesse 30-80yards mini-swings. This video in combination with your recent 10-30 yards chipping video have given me much more confidence and better results scrambling around the green area. And you are right, turning what has been a frustrating shot dropping area of my game into a scoring one . Thanks very much Rob🙏
The detail in your thinking is amazing. I have been trying to produce 3 different shots with 3 different clubs for 40, 50, 60,70,80,90, and 100 yds. Some work well but others don’t. The ones that don’t will be taken out of the tool box. Again, the detail is the key with proper technique. Great video
I binged some of your videos last night around 4 am. Don’t know if it helped or not, but shot 77, won my match, was up 5 on the turn, no 3 putts. Really like your preset the trail wrist on the backswing video. I really like how you talk about keeping your weight on the front or lead leg, if I try to switch my weight to the back leg and then the front leg, I hit it fat and my contact is so no consistent.
Best golf instruction on RUclips easily. THANK YOU!! Generally, do you recommend a full swing & tempo 56’ or an 80% (full swing slower tempo) less lofted wedge e.g. 46’? Thanks again!
Hi Rob, I have found this lesson (also the previous 30-80 video), a key for me. Bob Rotella has argued that the pitch shot is the most important shot in golf. The "next" topic that I would love to see you incorporate in your teaching is the whole topic of "flighting" wedge shots (images of Tommy Fleetwood come to mind). Keep up the good work! Steve
Loving all the videos Rob. pushing out with the right hand, has worked awesome for me. I'll slowly be introducing Stack & Tilt principles to my game. Thanks heaps.
Just what I needed Rob! Yesterday on the course I played really well, except for pitching & chipping. So I decided to focus on the short game because it cost me a few pars yesterday. I'll watch this video several times I'm sure.
Hi Rob, I stumbled upon a similar pitch shot method, where I grooved a consistent "backswing" & "target-swing" with the same heights and speed. Per your videos, I also try to squeeze my elbows together during the swing to keep a consistent radius distance to the ball and turf. It feels like my hands go from hip high to hip high, similar to your 90 to 90 drill. In reality my hands are more like rib cage height. I utilize the same swing and tempo, with a lower handle grip and change wedges for the desired distance control. These distances may be different for others, yet my results are: 60*= 25-30 yards (only when I must hit a straight up and down flop shot with no roll) SW= 40-45, GW= 50-55, PW= 60-70 and with a mid gripped PW= 80-90 yards. I also began utilizing my PW for most of my chip shots, which has stopped the ball from checking up sooner than desired and providing a more consistent roll out to the cup. Since these recent short game changes, over the past month I have consistently dropped 5 shots off of my previous scores. I haven't broken 80 in a long, long time. Since these changes, it has happened 3 out of my last 5 rounds. Thank you for the great tips, it definitely has improved my game! :)
Great video, Rob. As others have said, this video came just in time as I'm having all kinds of problems with my 30-80 yd shots and don't have any reliable plan. I've been using a PW and hitting it too long/short/fat/thin. Can't wait to get out and practice with my new swing thoughts.
Thank you for the excellent teaching. Can you discuss keeping the wrists very fluid and loose. I find that as soon as I tighten my right wrist on the downswing, I will catch a flyer skull shot. Your thoughts?
I’ve got a 50, 54 and 58 like a lot of golfers Rob. Do I need to change my wedges (my PW =46 ie 4 spread) or do I accommodate as you saying using my current wedges ie is 50 not ideal as you suggest, as it’s outside 52-56 range.
Some good pointers in here about low point as I tend to want to bottom out in front of the ball like a full swing. Now, how about a video on how to hit those pesky 10 yard high lob shots when I leave myself shortsided by the green 6 times per round. 😠
@@robcheneygolf1 Rob, you are one heck of a teacher. I am hoping that your instructions will help me finally figure out the DRIVER -- my nemesis. Thanks again!
Rob, is there a reason why your Clubs are so short ? You seem to Cover / be Over, in Stance than any other instructor i've seen . ( If you have addressed this in other Vids pls direct me to which one thanks .

Rob - so good!!! Hope it is warmer in Singers than Italy!!
Thank you! I'm in the UK now, so probably warmer for you than me!!!

Thank you for saying so! Appreciate you taking the time to comment! 👍🏻
I am literally working on this part of my game. Another awesome video Rob

That’s amazing! Congratulations on your win and your score - 77 is pretty impressive!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hi Rob your videos are fantastic. Any advice on how to hit full wedges ie 120-130 yard distance that would be too far with this technique with a PW?
That sounds like a full swing with a PW to acheive that type of distance.
I was litterly on the range 1hr ago training pitchshots unsure of how to properly execute. This video had amazing timing for me :D

Really good tips....find the wedge that works for you to practice this with 1/2 to 3/4 qtr swings 👍

thanks for the details, 50 to 60-yard shot, I am up & down only one in 5 tries.- back to the range
Keep going!!!

Brilliant Rob.
Thank you so much! 👍🏻
Great video as always. If you are looking for material videos on error fixes would be good. For example fix for heel strikes, fix for slice, etc.
Watching from Cincinnati 3:45 A.M.
That’s some serious dedication! Appreciate the effort! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great. Thanks!
Do you keep a weak grip throughout all these shots, or just the shortest one?
Which golf simulator system are you using?
That’s the SkyTrak + (ST+)
Is the grip (weak) the same for all three swings?
Some good pointers in here about low point as I tend to want to bottom out in front of the ball like a full swing.
Now, how about a video on how to hit those pesky 10 yard high lob shots when I leave myself shortsided by the green 6 times per round. 😠
Would you keep the neutral grip for a yardage of 100 to 120 and use a pitching wedge? Is it an option?
It’s definitely an option 👍🏻
The tip on weakening the grip was my biggest aha moment.
Glad it was so helpful! 👌🏻
Thanks!
Outstanding presentation. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Chris! 🙏🏻
@@robcheneygolf1 Rob, you are one heck of a teacher. I am hoping that your instructions will help me finally figure out the DRIVER -- my nemesis. Thanks again!
@@chrismcmorrow9738 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
For a 80% swing, should we also use a weaker grip?
You can. Try both and see which one you prefer.
