Can't believe this video doesn't have a million views yet. Maybe the greatest wedge lesson I've ever seen. It's greatness and what I've struggled with my wedges for ages!
I watched the entire video. This is a tremendous amount of instruction for a 100 yard shot. I imagine there are people that gravitate to this kind of level of detail for teaching.
This isn't even scratching the surface, this is literally just figuring out what club goes 100 yards. After you do that, it's all down to the player and how much information they want to think about or forget😊
This is an incredible video to reference when practicing shots for different yardages. Is there anywhere where we can see the 3 data points for 50,60,70,80,90,100 etc shots by any chance? Thanks for sharing!
Great question and I don't have the direct answer. Another way of thinking about it is the Pelz method, where you hone the 7:30, 9:00 and 10:30 swings (the position of your back arm on the clock face at maximum backswing) so they are absolutely repeatable. Then grab your wedges and systematically measure each one with each of the 3 swings (plus the full swing). I have 4 wedges so that gives me 4 x 4 known and repeatable distances. Made a huge difference to my handicap when I first did this. Fun to do and my son and I often head out with our wedges, a bucket of balls and the rangefinder to update our wedge gapping. Hope this is helpful! Mr Pelz's system says that a 7:30 swing should go 50% of full, 9:00 swing should be 75% of full, and 10:30 swing should go 90% of full. Cheers - Dave PS. This is all in the Short Game Bible by Pelz. 🙂
Nice. It reminded me of a great swing thought an instructor told me years ago. "If you ever played tennis or table tennis, how would you topspin on the ball. Now with that in mind, try to keep that 52 shot as low as possible" Instant decrease in dynamic loft and increased compression w/out thinking about it.
Great video. I'm trying to get my wedges dialed in with a launch monitor off mats. I think it would be better off grass with premium balls. The question I have is about consistency. There's launch angle, clubhead speed, and sweet spot contact variance. How do we rank these in order of importance for best consistency?
If it varies that much, you also have a contact issue. 190 is the dead middle of the face and 150 is nowhere near that. This is often amplified by the hollow irons (Titleist T200, TM P790, Mizuno pro 225, etc) which dead-center strike can give you a much longer distance.
One way could be to use street chalk (the one that the kids use) and paint around the ball. another method is to buy the quite expensive divot board. but I dont do either of these two, I hit foam balls in my garden, that way I can still see where my club bottoms out.
Just find a field and be willing to pick your own balls up 🤷🏻♂️ it’s what I’ve done, I’ve binned the range with the Matt’s, it’s false in regards to what you do on the course.
I was told as a rule of thumb, your launch angle should be around half the loft of your stated club e.g. 54 wedge = 27 degrees launch angle. This just applies to irons and wedges though
Great video. I'm a 7. I think my wedge game is my strong suit. I keep it simple. A half swing (left arm parallel) at 90% power is very consistent for me. PW = 100, Gap = 80, S = 60, and a 60degree = 40 yards. I groove this swing on the range and it rarely fails me. I would like to hear from other golfers and what their "system" is. It really works for me at in between yardages like 90 yards. Depending on the pin and would I rather error long or short (short sided pin or carry a bunker or wind) I club accordingly up or down for the 90 yrd shot.
I like your system. Do you use one swing speed for all wedges? What is your swing speed and how do you know when you have good enough consistency to take it to the golf course? thanks
@@KenHollowayshow Yes. One swing speed. 90% of max. It's firm and controlled. I'll hit full buckets of just the 100 yard shot. It's not difficult to replicate. Same swing, 4 different clubs and 4 different yardages. It's very consistent and reliable for me. When I'm off, it's usually when I try to get 5-10 more yards out of it. I always come back to that 90% swing and everything falls into place again. Once I start swinging harder or softer than that stock shot is when I start going way long or short.
Genius. I'm always trying to adjust swing speed and swing length with different clubs. This has led to much frustration. I like your system. Makes total sense. Gonna do it. Thanks
@@tommytinajero2778 Dude, you have no idea how much this has changed my golf life. I've turned my greatest weakness into my strength. At the range, I no longer pound 7 irons, I hit full buckets of my 100 yard shot. It translates to the course. I now have 5-10 birdie putts within 15 feet each round. My next step is to learn to drain putts, which I cannot do for the life of me. So goes the journey. Good luck.
What about presenting the club makers loft on the ball instead of turning a standard wedge into a 9 or even an 8 iron? Old school thinking I know but effective and consistent for those that do it.
The problem is you get these low spin floaters which are easily hit by wind, have a greater effect from any sidespin and don't stop well on the green. As someone who is prone to hitting that scooper, the ball is much better behaved when you do have that little bit of shaft lean. The correct contact keeps the ball lower, straighter and closer to it's pitch mark.
Mr. Smith ive been doing this for just over a year now with great results , was told years back that i was delofting the club and stopped ( wish i didnt ) works great from wedges up to my 7 iron but not much success with 6i and 5i why is that also hit down on my fw woods carry two 5 woods one steel and one graphite 165 and 185 and a 3w 200
Good lesson. I would have liked to see the student soften the wrists and hands and slow the backswing down a tad. Introduce a little more lag. I'm betting his 54* can be his 100 yarder with those changes. But great, succinct instruction from the Aussie.
Many golfers at my club make poor contact on these shots simply because they see and are told on you tube that a 56 or 54 deg goes 100 y (92m) so they try and thrash the shxt out of those clubs to get there. If took a P or gentle 9 would get better outcome for 90 % of club golfers
Great instruction but there are two issues that I have. #1. This is all good when you have a beautiful flat lie as we see in the video. How many flat lies do we see like this out on the golf course? or in a the course of 18 holes. We know when faced with different lies will create different club selection and different set up positions. #2. Extremely technical. Where’s the creativity? What if I’m a feel player? Is this good for a one plane swinger who has a more shallow sweeping club thru impact? Phil M teaches that at times he wants to feel like he is playing a bunker shot and striking the ground a little behind the ball to get the ball to roll up the club face and catch all the grooves.
It seems like more and more teachers are getting a way from this manipulation and holding on to get shaft lean or more dynamic loft. Do certain things and it happens naturally, according to the laws of physics, yes?
Just get your Approach Wedge and make a full swing to the middle of the green. It comes down to “can you swing a club without a bunch of thinking” then you’ll hit the green every time.
the hammer and nail example is just too awkward for me. I know that its a common example in golf. I wish someone would better explain how to actually achieve this in the swing
Jordan Spieth must be awfully patient to listen to this crap all the time kind of guy that if you ask him what time it is, he tells you how to make a watch. He’s obviously knowledgeable but he’s so mundane and boring.
I feel like the drills in this video are pretty bad. Most people would struggle to even set up the tees and alignment sticks properly let alone know wtf any of it means if they were out on the range by themselves. The instructor might be good in person, helping people that already have a fairly decent understanding of the concepts, but for the average joe, this instruction is kinda bad. Most of us don't have access to Trackman while we're practicing, so I'm not sure how we could get the kind of feedback that this guy calls for.
If you don't have the ability to put 2 sticks down slightly larger than the width of a club head. You have much bigger issues. That is a really basic drill. If you hit the sticks your swinging inconsistently.
I normally don’t have much positive to say to YT golf videos, “influencers” aka narcissistic selfie sticking themselves interneters, so haven’t said all that…lol, I have nothing but love for this video. The player let the professional teach, the amount of factual (not modern pseudo science) scientific theories were tested and proven, this video was no bs, no like, share m, subscribe, give me money cause I don’t have a real job, non of that Modeen golf “gossip girl f’n BS”, no jabronie self-coined teaching pro non sense, it was everything a Interneter video should be, for that I’m subbing and keeping my fingers crossed the content stays true to form!

tom's reaction when Cameron hit it 98.8 yards was absolutely perfect.
Can't believe this video doesn't have a million views yet. Maybe the greatest wedge lesson I've ever seen. It's greatness and what I've struggled with my wedges for ages!
Totally agree!
Maybe because it was 3 hours old when you commented guy
Loll
The problem is: there is so much out there that it’s actually hard to find the right answer.
This is along the same lines but I think even better: ruclips.net/video/HKk4VNAK3po/видео.html
Best break down of how to hit a 100 yard shot that I have seen. Cameron is a fantastic instructor.
Wow - Agreed, that was the best I've ever seen. A little hard to follow at first, but clear as day by the end.
@@steveconkkin9363 So good!

Money! great explanation and drills. Shaft lean at impact has been my biggest killer of consistency from 110 in.
Excellent, spot on instruction and identification of the correct 100yd club!
This may have been the best instructional video I've seen. Eye opening! Thanks
kswan2234...you may enjoy Faldo giving a college kid a lesson on Performance Golf. Good stuff.
Great lesson & advice! THANK YOU!
Very concise presentation.
The perfect lesson. Cameron you’re a genius!
"Hello yellow tee" made me laugh so hard lol

This is a good information..i am struggling with my 100 yards shot..thanks
good lesson!
Great video
repping good good. love to see it
Really great video. Only concern is this may not work well for handle draggers who have a tendency to over accelerate through impact.

There's launch angle, clubhead speed, and sweet spot contact variance. How do we rank these in order of importance for best consistency?
so I apparently have the same dynamic loft issue Tom has and now have to try this drill. My 7 iron goes anywhere from 150-190 lol
If it varies that much, you also have a contact issue. 190 is the dead middle of the face and 150 is nowhere near that. This is often amplified by the hollow irons (Titleist T200, TM P790, Mizuno pro 225, etc) which dead-center strike can give you a much longer distance.
@@hiddenbunny7205 that makes sense too, currently hitting JPX921 HM to your point. I wouldnt be surprised if its more than one thing.
I was fitted and have a wedge that is my stock 100 yd shot and often hit this shot with very dispersion. I need to work on those in between shots
The lesson is great. Most of us don't have ranges with real grass anymore. Any ideas for training off hitting mats? Thanks
One way could be to use street chalk (the one that the kids use) and paint around the ball. another method is to buy the quite expensive divot board. but I dont do either of these two, I hit foam balls in my garden, that way I can still see where my club bottoms out.

with the hands way ahead of the ball to deloft the club do you not hit with an open face, sending the ball out to the right?
I'm standard 3/4 swing with my wedges. Get PW 46 deg 110yds, 52 deg 100yds, 54 deg 90yds and 60 deg 75yds.
Official. Bag check max amount of clubs permitted
Love this video. Question I would have for Cameron. Should we be targeting around the 30 degrees of dynamic loft with all wedges? 50-54 and 60?
I was told as a rule of thumb, your launch angle should be around half the loft of your stated club e.g. 54 wedge = 27 degrees launch angle. This just applies to irons and wedges though
Half the loft

How often to do this to ingrain,
Mr. Smith ive been doing this for just over a year now with great results , was told years back that i was delofting the club and stopped ( wish i didnt ) works great from wedges up to my 7 iron but not much success with 6i and 5i why is that also hit down on my fw woods carry two 5 woods one steel and one graphite 165 and 185 and a 3w 200
how much is the membership
Excellent instruction. Problem wasn't his swing, it was over estimating his distances
My 56 degree has many yardages lol I felt that when he said it lol great video.
NO WONDER these guys are so damn good with this type of instruction! WOW! Wish I could afford this type of instruction!
5:57 The look of disgust at how accurate Cameron McCormick is 😂
Good lesson. I would have liked to see the student soften the wrists and hands and slow the backswing down a tad. Introduce a little more lag. I'm betting his 54* can be his 100 yarder with those changes. But great, succinct instruction from the Aussie.
My 56 degree can go 105 to 90 yards. Can’t wait to try this
Answer the question what club is the 100 yd club
That’s brilliant tuition 🏌️♂️👍🏻
He can walk the walk as well as talk the talk. Not many teachers can.
"Hello yellow tee"
Hilarious
Many golfers at my club make poor contact on these shots simply because they see and are told on you tube that a 56 or 54 deg goes 100 y (92m) so they try and thrash the shxt out of those clubs to get there.
If took a P or gentle 9 would get better outcome for 90 % of club golfers
great
Why reduce bounce?
What is the mark of Cameron blue shirt?
The lesson here is that you should know how far you carry your clubs shot. 👍🏼
Gosh, i don’t make a lot of money. . . But id pay a very large sum of money to be able to spend a few hours having Cameron work on my swing.
Well how much do you got?
Lol
Most people over estimate their club distance. I have seen it over and over my buddies came up short but somehow they insist their 60 can go 100.
Great instruction but there are two issues that I have.
#1. This is all good when you have a beautiful flat lie as we see in the video. How many flat lies do we see like this out on the golf course? or in a the course of 18 holes. We know when faced with different lies will create different club selection and different set up positions.

I was hearing “Dunner McLoft” and thought - that’s funny, doesn’t even save any syllables over just saying dynamic loft…. Ooooh 😅
Love that the conclusion was that the 54 wasn't Tom's 100 yd club. Isn't that every single golfer out there?
LW is my 100 yard shot 😱
It seems like more and more teachers are getting a way from this manipulation and holding on to get shaft lean or more dynamic loft. Do certain things and it happens naturally, according to the laws of physics, yes?
Just get your Approach Wedge and make a full swing to the middle of the green. It comes down to “can you swing a club without a bunch of thinking” then you’ll hit the green every time.
Love it. But for they guy hitting why not just hit a 50 degree club instead
luvvvvv
This dude has the personality of magician mixed in with a scary knowledgeable coach.
struck well = OGF 12
It doesn’t have to be that complicated !
Dunna McLoft? Whos that? Oh... Dynamic loft....
Glad I wasn’t the only one 😅
Made it to about 2:50. Imagine this guy explaining something complicated~ Might take a decade
Instructor: hit 100 yds
Student hits 80 yds
Caddy: pin is 120 yds
so the secret to the reliable 100 yard shot is..... the correct club !
Mr McCormick i meant brain fart my bad !!!!
the hammer and nail example is just too awkward for me. I know that its a common example in golf. I wish someone would better explain how to actually achieve this in the swing
Put a spot above the top groove and try to hit the spot.
Paul Finebaum is a hater! There was no need to reference ESPN.
