I suggest re-visiting the Rule of 12 regarding bump and runs. But put the Finch twist on it...just be you man. The Rule of 12 does wonders for one's game.
I always love your vids, but one thing i've noticed about everyone doing these types of "backspin" videos (Dave Pelz included), the demonstrations everyone provides around the green remind me of basic pitch shots that do obviously have spin, but they all roll out a little. I think everyone would like to see some demos that look like Jordan Spieth hitting those really low one-hop-and-stop shots like we all see on TV :)
That involves what Pete was talking about early on: you gotta hit it pretty hard, and totally pure, and on the bottom groove or second lowest groove. Those low grooves make it come out low and spinny. It’s not easy to learn to execute at all.
@@adamseidel9780 Oh, i know how to do it myself. I just find it odd that i see these shots on TV every time i watch a PGA match, but i never see anyone that teaches spin demonstrating the shot.
Smashed the like button even without the holing of a demonstration shot. Hopefully it gives me the luck to put this into action and be more confident with going at the flag 🤣🤣
Hi Peter. Was there any change to your RPM with the change of ball position, or was it stable around 10000? If we want to hit a lower, one-hop stopper what kind of RPM are we looking for (conditions obviously allowing). Thanks! Appreciate the videos and your approach to coaching!
Such a great video. I've always known high and low launch positioning, but never knew when I can apply these various shots. thanks for helping me understand when to apply such shots.
I'll watch any coaching video's you do as they always informative & well explained hope wrist better soon so can get out on course & bring us the great vlogs you do 🏌️♂️⛳👍
Love how you added in ball position. I've played with that myself at the range. Nice to see some numbers showing the differences in flight and decent angle.
Great video Pete! :) One small thing: headwind does not affect the spin of the ball, but for the spin it has, the headwind increases both the Magnus Effect (the amount of lift generated through spin) and the drag resulting from spin. Those two thing combined lead to a steeper descending angle at the same spin, making the ball stop quicker overall. Cheers!
Would I be right in saying a tail wind doesnt push the ball either(unless your playing in a hurricane) it just provides less wind resistance? I'm guessing so but I find it funny when most people explain it, it comes across like the ball is being blown further like a sail boat.
@@boydeeful Haha yeah, that's a good point :) tailwind usually isn't faster than the ball travels, i.e. doesn't actually push the ball. What the tailwind does do however, is to lower the drag and thus the Magnus Effect which provides lift. The spin is the same, but in a strong tailwind it looks like the ball is falling out of the sky, while in a headwind it looks like it is ballooning. Same spin, very different outcomes. :D Cheers
Playing my first 9 holes in over a month this Saturday so naturally I smashed like for good luck!!! Love using my wedges - Great video - you have really helped me improve my game so thanks
Two helpful things to understand about spinning a golf ball .. The Gear Effect and The Que Ball (billiards). The best way to get the most spin of a golf ball is to optimize the power and acceleration of the clubhead impacting the prefect location of the ball relative to the equator .. and, the angle of that impact in relation to the parallel of the ground. Just like getting optimum spin on a que ball in billiards, it's actually THAT simple and EXACTLY the same thing. It is very simple physics and it is done all the time in the game of billiards (or pool). Once you understand this and given a little bit of practice with it, it becomes very easy to control how much spin you place on your ball. This is true for approach shots just as much as chip shots. BOOM Peter!!! .. that's all that is to it !! ... think of the Que Ball !!!
Am I the only one that was like, “ Wait where’s the golf shaft?!?!” at 3:05? I actually though for that half a second Pete green screened away somehow for some kind of cool effect.
Only time I’ve gotten crazy spin I landed the ball 1ft from the pin and then it took off and rolled off the green 😂 I have a knack for hitting cool shots when I don’t need it.
I love how pete is showing us this from a spot, 99% of us should be using an 8-6i or even a putter(hybrid or metal if you like). I wouldn't be surprised if Pete putts that in a real round. Its just easier to roll it vs spin it when you don't have to.
Hows the back feeling? I know Rick is probably hoping you rest it for the rest of the season, my guy been SWEATIN' ever since you guys talked about a match! Haha!
Thank you for actually getting out and producing good course vlogs instead of sitting on your bumper talking about other people golfing on your podcast. Looking at you right now Ricky! 😂
The best comment about amateur wanting backspin is from Lee Trevino. Amateurs don’t hit their approach shot pass the flag to begin with, why in the world would you want backspin on your ball and be further away from the flag?…???? Classic. Boom.
I’d like to see you with an amateur and help them with decision making. I see lots of swing video but not an explanation of always why the decisions we make on club choice or where we target can impact the hole. I’d volunteer myself but being in the States it not possible. I wish at times a pro could play a round with me and help with club choice off the tee a lot and how to play chip shots especially.
Great video, and the simple explanations of each of the 3 ball positions Peter. Unfortunately piching and chipping are both parts of golf, I'm have trouble with, yet you make it sound so simple. I do have one question that I'd like your input on though. Pitching, as well as chipping should be controlled by only using the arms during the swing and not the body. By using only the arms in the swing, the body will follow, and will in effect, reduce chunking and skulling these shots. True, or ??
I understand the occasional need for high spinning short shots, but for 80% of chipping and pitching, spin is your enemy it adds a variable(s) to the shot that you don't need ie how much spin do you create on the shot and also how the ball reacts when it lands on the green. Discuss :-)
At the end where you put up the results of the three balls positions you included every piece of data EXCEPT what the difference in spin were for each position......I was most interested in those numbers for this test.
I have a new challenge for you and Rick ,one of you play with your favorite golf set and the other one play with a beginner golf set,to se the difference between the best and the worst
I'm a mid handicapper and cannot understand why so many pros make the same mistake over and over. When I (rarely) hit one close I want it to stop there. I see too many pros hit shot after shot close and watch them spin back15 to 25 feet back. I want the closest shot I can get. What am I not understanding about this too much spin shot?
Another extremely helpful video Peter, when you say at the back or front of your stance with this technique . How far either way do you mean ? . For example if it were the front of the stance would you play it as far for as driver or slightly further back . Keep up the great work mate , awesome stuff !! Cheers ...
Good vid, Pete. But wind won't cause a ball to spin more. The wind affects the decent angle. Hit into the wind and the spin makes ball climb higher.... with the wind ball flies longer which lowers landing angle. But anyway...I'm really on here to ask: Do you have any videos showing your workout routine? If not, would love to see a video of you showing us some golf specific exercises and stretches. Thanks. And keep it up. Love your channel!
Hi Peter, fantastic video lesson matey, I definitely need a lot of work on my short and I am going to put this into practice tonight on the course. I also use vokey sm9's , I have tried multiple others but the vokeys just seem to work for my swing. Keep these videos coming Peter, they not only make a massive positive difference to my day but are always in some way instructional. THANK YOU !!
I'd love to see how the heck to hit a full-swing wedge shot without the ball going a mile in the air. It doesn't matter what degree wedge I hit (aside from my pitching wedge), the ball only seems to go a maximum of about 70 yards, whether it's a 52, 56, or 60 (even less with my 60). On a short, 100 yard par 3 I feel like I should be able to hit my 56 degree without issue, however, for some reason the ball seems to just rocket almost straight into the air off the face and ends up about 20 yards short of the green.

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in! What coaching videos would you like to see next? 👇
I suggest re-visiting the Rule of 12 regarding bump and runs. But put the Finch twist on it...just be you man. The Rule of 12 does wonders for one's game.
Great stuff as usual Pete. How about a video on reading greens please. Thanks.
But....with stronger lofted clubs of today, I think it is more like the Rule of 11 or 10. LoL.
Please show us how to be a fine upstanding gentleman like you are.
Stop slicing driver everytime !!
Be right back gonna go thin a 54 degree over the green
Some of my best stingers are from greenside!!!!
Already happened
😂😂🙌
This has to be the best video around the differences achieved by the adjustments of hand and club positioning. Well done Peter.
Dan Greve: the 3 releases.
I'm convinced that by liking the video, I will have a good round this weekend! Don't let me down Pete! ;)
I agree o father lord finch give me a great round this weekend
How’d it go?

Chris Dennis does great tips on this, strike is still key

@@adamseidel9780 Oh, i know how to do it myself. I just find it odd that i see these shots on TV every time i watch a PGA match, but i never see anyone that teaches spin demonstrating the shot.
Broke 100 for the first time yesterday. Your content has been very helpful thank you.
Not only am I loving these recent wedge videos. It’s great to know the wrist is getting a well deserved break and is on the mend! 🙂👍🏻
Seeing the numbers really helps solidify the concepts. :)
Keep up the great videos!
Absolute Class Act 👏 Best UA-cam Golf Coach / Entertainer 👌
Smashed the like button even without the holing of a demonstration shot. Hopefully it gives me the luck to put this into action and be more confident with going at the flag 🤣🤣
Love your videos Peter! This was such a gem. I am saving it immediately for advanced short game explanations.
Loved the detail in this Pete, I just wish I'd seen it before going out this morning 🤣🤣🥰
😅😅😅
I'm sorry but Pete's swing is just beautiful I've said it so many times I just can't get over it!
Hi Peter. Was there any change to your RPM with the change of ball position, or was it stable around 10000? If we want to hit a lower, one-hop stopper what kind of RPM are we looking for (conditions obviously allowing). Thanks! Appreciate the videos and your approach to coaching!
Love that you still use the vice balls! My favorite balls forsure
I absolutely love this, you’re so great at explaining
Keep up the amazing work!!!
Best golf channel on youtube!
Sorry Rick😉
Honestly one of your most well laid out videos in my opinion. Very good!
If you have an older SW or PW with worn grooves get a groove sharpener. This will greatly help the backspin. Great vlog Pete!
pros go through 6-10 a year
Great video!!! U had those full toe Jaws Rippin!!!!
Really enjoyed the refresher on ball position
Such a great video. I've always known high and low launch positioning, but never knew when I can apply these various shots. thanks for helping me understand when to apply such shots.
I'll watch any coaching video's you do as they always informative & well explained hope wrist better soon so can get out on course & bring us the great vlogs you do 🏌️♂️⛳👍
3:05 I was like… how the hell is that club head just sitting up right without anyone holding it. I thought Peter was a magician.
Love how you added in ball position. I've played with that myself at the range. Nice to see some numbers showing the differences in flight and decent angle.
Where’s the backspin?
In the air….
I’ve just bought some new vokeys and this is ridiculously interesting to me! Can’t wait to experiment, thanks!
Who would dislike this kind of video? What’s the deal like “No this certainly won’t do. spin is bad, chip and run is better.” 😂😂
Never clicked on a vid so fast on my life

really like this kind of video alot pete. class video mate
Am I the only one that was like, “ Wait where’s the golf shaft?!?!” at 3:05?
I actually though for that half a second Pete green screened away somehow for some kind of cool effect.
👊😃👍
I actually was gonna post the same thing but figured I would check the comments because I couldn't be the only one...and I'm not.
like this video very much thanks pete.!! from kuala lumpur.
Cool optical illusion at 3:06
Thanks
Well done, Pete. Solid video.
Only time I’ve gotten crazy spin I landed the ball 1ft from the pin and then it took off and rolled off the green 😂 I have a knack for hitting cool shots when I don’t need it.
Everything was great in the video. What backspin did each of the 3 shots achieve. You only mentioned 1
Best of luck on the 500,000 fella!
I would love a coaching video in playing out a deep greenside bunker shot .
I love how pete is showing us this from a spot, 99% of us should be using an 8-6i or even a putter(hybrid or metal if you like). I wouldn't be surprised if Pete putts that in a real round.
Its just easier to roll it vs spin it when you don't have to.
Hows the back feeling? I know Rick is probably hoping you rest it for the rest of the season, my guy been SWEATIN' ever since you guys talked about a match! Haha!
Great video again Pete!
Thanks Pete some good information
Thank you for actually getting out and producing good course vlogs instead of sitting on your bumper talking about other people golfing on your podcast.
Looking at you right now Ricky! 😂
"Smash that like button, with unbridal enthusiasm" my favourate Peter Finch words
The best comment about amateur wanting backspin is from Lee Trevino.
Amateurs don’t hit their approach shot pass the flag to begin with, why in the world would
you want backspin on your ball and be further away from the flag?…????
Classic. Boom.
Awesome vid pete💪
Love the content Pete 💪
Thanks for the advice , nicely explained 😎👍
Perfect time for lunch 👍
Smashed that like button before the video even started lol
Damn bruh, you’ve been pumping those weights havent you? I can only imagine what your clubhead speed is now. Keep it up
I’d like to see you with an amateur and help them with decision making.

3:05 Best optical illusion ever!
Top 3 clubs you could recommend to certain golfer.
New golfer -
Higher handicap (ish)
Lower handicap (3-8)
Scratch golfer???
Once every couple years....YEAH RIGHT!!!!! My wedges are circa 1998!!!!
I have a new challenge for you and Rick ,one of you play with your favorite golf set and the other one play with a beginner golf set,to se the difference between the best and the worst
Great video thank you!!!!
This is quality content
"If i hole demonstration shot you must smash that like button"
Already did
Moving ball position should you adjust weight distribution from front to center?
I'm a mid handicapper and cannot understand why so many pros make the same mistake over and over. When I (rarely) hit one close I want it to stop there. I see too many pros hit shot after shot close and watch them spin back15 to 25 feet back. I want the closest shot I can get. What am I not understanding about this too much spin shot?
So good to know. Thanks Pete. :)
Thanks Pete
"I might know what I'm talking about now and again..."
Just a bit methinks... Rabbi Finch 😂
If you’ve got wedges that rust, do you clean the rust off with a wire brush, or just give it a basic clean to get any soil or grass off?
Another extremely helpful video Peter,
when you say at the back or front of your stance with this technique .
How far either way do you mean ? .
For example if it were the front of the stance would you play it as far for as driver or slightly further back .
Keep up the great work mate , awesome stuff !!
Cheers ...
Good vid, Pete. But wind won't cause a ball to spin more. The wind affects the decent angle. Hit into the wind and the spin makes ball climb higher.... with the wind ball flies longer which lowers landing angle.

Will we be getting a full video on the divide balls??
What was the spin on the front center and back shots?
Last few videos you’ve used the Srixon divide balls. Any reason other than they look cool? Great video and content as always
What was the spin on the three different ball positions in the end of the video?
that was an amazing video
Pets, when you changed the launch conditions did it change the spin?
Did spin change depending on ball position?
Peter 'bulking season' finch ladies and gents, my guy looking to enter long drives?
Hi Peter, fantastic video lesson matey, I definitely need a lot of work on my short and I am going to put this into practice tonight on the course.

Superb!!!
Get that 500K!
Nice vid, what were the average spin numbers at the end?
3:05 invisible shaft :)
How did the ball placement affect spin? If at all
Love the video
What about change of rpm?
This was a like a lesson wedge mathematics in motion. Great stuff Pete!
What happened with rpm per ball position?
If I could subscribe twice I would!
Are we allowed to take a notebook full of tips with us onto the course when in a competition?
I'd love to see how the heck to hit a full-swing wedge shot without the ball going a mile in the air.

Back on the tp5’s Pete?
The vice Pro plus is supposed to spin more than the Pro.
What's the spin numbers for the change in ball positions? 😵
Thumbnails look real familiar
