Hey Guys - Mary here - apologies for the occasional audio static in this video. Happy to report we've fixed the issue for future videos. As always...thanks for tuning in!
@@MikeJones-um3os Thanks my personal hype man!
Thanks for joining me in Savannah! Had a great time filming with you and Mary -- despite the cold!
You da man!!
Honestly this is one of the best chipping/wedge explanations available. Your explanation and key points of reference with Andrew are fantastic. His concept about planes landing on a runway are mind-altering in the best way. I am now thinking about chipping in a different way, with your advice on stance and to bring the club straight or outside but never inside. Not digging the club, just keeping the plane on the runway. Your enthusiasm for the game and for the guests you incorporate on the show is fantastic.
Appreciate it--glad to hear that!!
It’s a good video Eric. Orthodox form of pitching. For me personally the maestro for pitching is Lee Trevino. Arguably one of the best wedge players ever. His instruction on pitching talks about riding the pony. He learnt that from Mr Ballesteros. That way you have no chance whatsoever of shanking the ball. By the way played my first round following your video instruction on left hip around and right shoulder down. Shot gross 69 net 59. Not bad for a ten handicapper! The course was relatively short and tight but still got to put the score together. Thank you keep up the great videos and look at the Trevino pitching video. 😊🏌️♂️👍🏴
Thanks John! Love to hear of the great playing!!
hi, Eric thanks for introducing the authority on Wedges (Andrew Rice)
…….that is gonna ensure grandpa gets’ head high through impact and follow
through…..the skimming concept, the glide path and flare out before touchdown
is great thing to understand ……once again thanks Eric & Andrew
Our pleasure...Andrew is great!
This is the best wedge video I've ever seen! Answered ALL my questions. Good stuff! !
Thanks, Steve! Andrew is great!
Excellent instruction. This shot is so important particularly for golfer who doesn't hit many greens in regulation. Consistent ability to play good shots from 50 yards in makes the game SO much more enjoyable.
Thanks, Thomas!
Agreed!
Eric, I really like all of the videos you do with other experts. You relate well to each of them and guide them with great questions.
Appreciate it, Ron! Good fun for us as well!!
Helpful, thank you.
Glad this one helped, John!
This lesson saved me 10 strokes. Thank you sir 👍🏼
Love to hear it! Our pleasure!
Excellent , and right to the point on "how to hit a wedge shot" 50 yards or so. Well done!
Thanks, Gary!
Great interactions between two excellent instructors. Well done gentlemen. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks, Philip! Appreciate the kind words!
Great job, thank you
Appreciate it!
Being from Savannah it was nice to see the video...pitching has always been my heal but this is an excellent video..cant wait take this to the range
Hope it helps, Michael! We really enjoyed Savannah last year when we visited...cool place!
best video on youtube. 2020 will be my year
Appreciate it! I'm rooting for ya!!
revolutionary information that we have to raise our posture with swing going ahead and not to be still on the ball. i practiced and found it be correct. thnx
Glad to hear it helped! Andrew is great!
Thanks Eric for your help. I am 80 and these help me I still have to go to my 9 iron for that 50/55 yard shot but this helps.
Glad to hear that, Frank!
This is excellent!
Thanks Rob!
Every lesson is easier to remember with a “re-set” thought.
Pull up!
:)
Wow, you were in my neck of the woods.
I like how Andrew doesn't pigeon hole any one absolute. He notes how different ways are effective but works on fundamentals on up.
Agreed!
This one Tip has changed my Pitching and chipping Game. I'm now very consistent with my shots. I can't even believe I'm doing this. shots go straight as an arrow.
all I need to do now is distance control. Great video this will change my game by 4 to 5 strokes
Love it!
@@CogornoGolf Question? do the rules change when it comes to long irons? with the toe pointing up on the backswing?
Yup
Great video! Andrew is awesome. My only critical comment is that what you say at 13:45 is not what you do at 11:59. It may feel like that but you are head down to impact, then you come up. Much respect!
Thanks for the feedback, Dane!
Excellent information once again! Eric, get to spend any time in Savannah?
Thanks, Scott! Yessir-we were there for about 5 days! Beautiful place.
Excellent instruction! I practice 50, 70-75, 80-85 yd pitching all the time. Thanks to EC I changed which wedges I use now. Instead of trying to hit a wedge as far as possible I use less loft and strive for accuracy in regards to distance and direction. My wedges are 58, 54, 50 and 46. For most pitches up to 75 yds I use my 54. My shot dispersion is very narrow. I do struggle with distance because I tend to hit fat shots. As for the statement you can't stand too close to the ball for me I can't listen to that advice. My bad shot is the shank and I've been able to reduce those shanks considerably. I strive to swing the handle to the right (I'm lefty) with more body rotation and less hand release.
Excellent, Dave! You are heading in the right direction my friend!
If you continue to struggle with fat shots-go back and check the basics in our wedge videos (especially the masterclass ones)
Setup pressure slightly forward, feet close, handle slight forward. Backswing on out slightly outside plane. Chest turn downswing
@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric! I also found that if I look at the front of the ball instead of the back I make better contact. I've also tried looking at a spot a couple of inches in front of the ball. Once you get used to doing it the results are great.
Great! This wedge play, can also apply to 50* for 70-80 yards, P for 90-100 yards, 9i for 100-110 yards … for average amateurs (not for pros and good amateurs)?
Thanks!
Yes 100%.
I would ALMOST always suggest someone take MORE club, not less when hitting shots inside 120
Can you comment on the takeaway as it compares to say a full swing 7 iron take away? Would you still expect the left hand just past right thigh before going up checkpoint or is it going up a little earlier? I guess the question is this takeaway a little different than a full swing or the same and the swing is just an abbreviated full swing?
Hey Mike! Here is the info on wedge takeaway/backswing

Thanks for watching!
When Andrew says sliding under in downswing, does this mean : use bounce? Thanks.
Yep
@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric. I watched this great video 4 times. I think this kind of video is so helpful for any golfer. I have "no" question...))))) Thank you so much...
Wow Eric in long pants. It must have been cold!!!
:)
Does this apply to 80 yard shots as well?
Yes!
When are you supposed to chip the ball (50 yard)? When are you supposed to pitch the ball (50+)? And the clubs I'm supposed to be using? I am an Amateurs.
Hey Mark!
There are a number of variables to assess in terms of making the best club selection for a given shot (lie, grain, wind, how you want the ball coming into the green etc.).
Ideally, your lob wedge and sand wedge would have different bounces and grinds to give you the most versatility in your shotmaking from a wide variety of lies.
I would look at all shots inside of 30 yards as being a "chip/pitch" shot. All shots 30 yards and in is where opening up your wedge to varying degrees and using the bounce is most relevant.
30-50+ yard shots would be where you are gradually going more into a normal, full swing type of contact with the leading edge. 30+ yards is also ideally where you would start using a distance control system (anything inside of 30 yards would just be "feel" based).
Here are a couple of resources for you!

Matt doesn’t re route on these shots
I think your guest left his golf shoes in his wife’s car because he’s wearing his bowling shoes.
