In this video, we talking about the wedge system that I implement with my clients, and how it can help you become more consistent with your partial wedge shots from 100 yards and in!!!
Check out / larrycheunggolf for more golf swings and cool things!!!
This was the single biggest improvement I made in my game this year.
Amazing how much stress it takes off your game as well, knowing you have the shot, and you don't even need to hit it perfectly to get a pretty good result. Love it!
man, this channel has made such a difference to my golf. cheers Larry.
I follow a number of UA-cam golf instructors, and, for me, your instruction on wedge play is the clearest, most concise, most effective teaching I have seen. You have improved my wedge game immensely. Thank you so much, Mr. Cheung! You are a true gem.
Excellent lesson thank you
Tried other things, but this has been the most consistent way for me to do distance wedges. Learning to swing with pace on these shots has been key for me
Perfect video for scoring distance shots. Love your work
Thanks! =) Happy you love it!
Just wanted to say: I tried this out yesterday and was absolutely throwing darts. Such an amazingly efficient system! Thanks Larry, great stuff.
Went from 13 to a 10 hcp from using this system. Even have kind of merged it with the 9 and 8i for punching into the wind. Thanks Larry!
That's great Brandon! =)
Excellent video, good teacher, he explained things very clear and makes sense. Can use this system to help me gained some strokes.
Great way to organize your thinking about wedges. Carrying lots of wedges is great if you you don’t get overwhelmed by having too many choices.
Great system Larry , we can take it from there AND improve our skills and FEEL out on the course in real conditions !!!
But this is a great start to build on ,,,Keep up the good work L 🏌️🇸🇪🙏👌
Tried this approach and love it. Last week I had a usually terrifying chip from the rough over a bunker onto a tight green. I just focused on this movement. Caught it a little heavy...and jarred it. I owe you a beer Larry.
Mike amazing!! Just tell your friends !!! :)
I’ve had trouble dialling in those distances in the past. This will really help
Thx Larry!!
Larry, just came here to say I started to do this just as you prescribed and I've never hit my shots inside 100 better than this. Taking a half to half PW to a 100 yard flag today... pitched to 5ft! Normally I'd wack a SW up there but the lower flight was lovely and it still stopped on a dime - something I definitely didn't expect! Great advice, thanks!
Zachary Milos that’s awesome dude, happy to hear it’s helping! :)
Nice stuff again Larry. You will 100k subscribers by next Christmas with this amazing content
Tigerburningbright thanks! That’s the plan!!!! :)
Thanks Larry. That's a great and simple system. I'll work on it over the winter. Cheers. 👍
Thanks, it's helped alot of my clients and I hope it will help you too! =)
Game changer! Great video!
Where were you forty years ago when I was learning this game? I’m loving your instruction and wish I was close to Toronto for both TXG and Larry’s lessons!
I feel ya! I’m thinking about canceling the family Florida vacation and taking the clan to Canada
Larry has completely changed my game...in just a couple months of little practice. By only watching his YT vids
Very cool system, Larry. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome =)
Great refreshing way to play the short game
Love the channel. One item Im having trouble with is comments such as 1:30 mark which talk about the straight line from basically shoulder to club. Depending on shoulder width that angle could be substantial increased or decreased by several degrees. For example I have pretty wide shoulders for my height thus the shaft would much greater and ball position much further back. When I have followed that advice I chunked that ball negating the bounce. I have significant trouble with setup advice that seem to negate natural variation in physiology. I think the best the is for me to fly there get lessons from you and get fitted for clubs. Setup is really a struggle for me . Keep up the great videos!
it sounds like you need to work on it with someone =)
Great work Larry.....always enjoy your vids ...All Good !
Everyday Golfer thanks :)
Good examples mate. Was going to go play golf today, but it's snowing in Michigan! Maybe it'll be a bit warmer tomorrow.
Niko Kuusisto winter is coming :(
Great video Larry...
Larry - Came across your videos recently as a result of TXG and others. Great stuff. I love the idea of the wedge system, but am having a hard time implementing. I play off 6 and have always played shots 100 yards and in mostly on feel without a real system, so some days I'm a sniper and others I'm completely lost. Looking for more consistency, I tried this during a practice session today and found that my "waist high to waist high" swing only resulted in about 5 to 8 yards of difference between my 60, 56 and 52 degree wedges. What can I do to spread that out? Also, do you recommend 50, 54, and 58 for high swing speed guys? (120mph with driver). Keep up the great content.
You may just have to turn harder while maintaining the "waist to waist" size
Have you got any drills Larry to fix a thin shot? I’m flat in my backswing and hit it out the heel with a closed clubface at the top....
Tigerburningbright I’d do wide half swings to start and try to transfer to the full swing. If you want a easy fix feel, I would take a 7 iron, try putting the ball in the back of the stance, then hit a full speed punch shot, downhinging and releasing all your angles into the ball into a punch long arm finish and see what happens :)
Ureka moment, you my man have probably saved me 5 shots a round. Any difference in this approach if you use different shafts between your set wedges and your specialist wedges. I’m heading out right now to give this a go
Matthew Priestley haha that’s good to hear, you’ll have to experiment and find out. My first thought would be minimal difference when it comes to the distance, feel would be different but at these partial speeds, the distance differences should be minimal
Larry Cheung Golf This worked like a charm. I play Modus 105 X stiff and soft stepped x2 in my 50* and 54* then Modus wedge 125 in 58*. This system felt amazing with the Modus Wedge 125 but the soft stepped wedges went -4 offline (I’m right handed). Swapped out my 54* with one that had Modus Wedge 125 and my 50* to standard Modus 105 X as well as added 9 iron and I’m 0 offline and hitting the exact distances up to 100 yards. Cheers mate, I’m now a subscriber for life
Matthew Priestley that’s great! I love that you were able to come up with a quantified conclusion on your own for what works better!!! I appreciate the support :)
Larry Cheung Golf The “L” or draw side spin was much more with the soft stepped clubs. Path was a bit more neutral too. Crazy how club fitting can play a big role in small shots like these. Dream partnership between you and TXG. Thanks again
Matthew Priestley for sure!!! I have a decent enough idea of how clubs will affect the swing and result that I will always defer to Ian and the team at TXG for their expertise!!! Can’t ask for a better partnership for sure!!! :)
I received the Divot Board this morning.
The total of the bill is 238.94 Canadian. However I tried to add this one up
with my Skytrack.The Skytrack doesn't read the shot anymore
So skytrack with the divot board no read
Only skytrack read
Is this normal?
I hv a 60, 56, approach wedge(i think its a 52) and a PW(48)..... its works pretty well for me but i do tend to favour the 56 more.
garcel sayah it’s ok if you tend to favor the 56 more. This is just a guideline, as you get better with it you can personalize it to your own preferences :)
Hey Larry.. been lovin your vids. Fantastic fresh perspective. Definitely gonna try this out. One question.. on ‘feeling no hinge..’ it looks like you’re hinging and the straight line becomes 90 degree angle at the top.. what am i missing? Is it just a feel but not what happens?
It's just a feel, I've yet to meet someone who literally ZERO hinges =P
when you say waist high to waist high with different clubs do you rotate faster to strike the ball harder?
some players may feel that =)
Larry, great instruction and fresh approach - found you through Matt’s video. Do you have any recommendations on creating a wedge set to simplify my system? Currently have 46, 52, 56, 60. I play everything to full shots with 52 @ 115y 56 @ 100 to 60 @ 80y and only use 60 for sand and any shot less than 80. Do you recommend 3 or 4 wedges for someone still looking for consistency as a mid teen hc. Any plan to hit Florida this winter to offer instruction?
James Losinger thanks! I would go 46/50/54/58, I generally like 4* of gap, for a mid hc, 3 wedges plus a PW is a good setup to have :) no Florida plans yet, but may in the future :)
Off a mat my wedge system numbers are very consistent. Off grass it varies quite a bit. Find myself short more often than not. Any thoughts on that? I know I should practice on grass more but it’s not as accessible.
Thanks Larry. Love the content and the idea behind this. Just having trouble with the execution.
May be ball you are using =)
Larry this is great. I’ve been using this since you mentioned it your other video. Question on technique-I am pulling a lot of these waist height wedges left...do you think I should feel like the club face is facing the sky on the follow through?
Justin Gohn thanks! :) I would first look at lie angle, I would flatten it and see how it goes, and also follow through more right, that should straighten it out. I would not have the clubface face the sky as that would add too much loft to it :)
Larry Cheung Golf thx Larry; I have is a couple degrees flat already. I will swing right...good reminder...how quickly i forget!!
Justin Gohn perfect, swing to the right then, you’re most likely following through too much to the left :)
Hey, I tried out you system today and was throwing darts left and right obtaining easy birdies. I was wondering what I should do for the 50, 70, 90 shots that are between the main incrimants of 40, 60, 80, 100
make a slightly bigger swing to add the 10 yards =)
Hey Larry are you using your hit 1/2 behind the ball technique or are you hitting clean here?
willie moss-walden for these shots, I just try to hit the ball first. The good thing is you still don’t need to be super precise with it because of the lack of hinge, the bounce is still in play and any ground first contact will be forgiven :)
Are you intentionally increasing your swing speed to get 20 yard gaps? I like the idea of this concept and have tried it a few times during practice, but I’m finding I have to increase swing speed with each club in order to see the yardage gap you deceive in the video. When I feel like I take the same swing, often times I’m getting similar yardage with 58 and 54... thoughts on this?
Remember this is a template for you as the player to customize, if you feel like you have to speed up, then you speed up =)
Does your 80y club still have the same bounce of your 54 and 58? I assume that’s a gap wedge already.
no, but it's personal preference =)
is the grip neutral ,little strong or weak
Grip is the same as full swing
It looks like you finished much higher than your hip...?
Lawrence Sykkmon yup, I do, and I know that. I mentioned in the video waist to waist is my feel and I totally know it’s going to be bigger than that, the key is calibrating your own feels to get the desired result :)
You also look like you hinge...?
Ive mentioned as well in the video, it's a feel, I feel no hinge, I don't literally have no hinge =)
Can you describe how you feel?
@@lawrencesykkmon2064 Just wondering if you even read his comments? lol
IT seems that you have different swing speed ,
Mattias Podvorec looks very similar to me, I’m not saying it’s going to be exactly same speed, an approximate range is a good starting point that the player can customize if they choose as they get better, as you can see in my example clips with side by side swings, those swings looked almost identical :)
I agree that you swing waist to waist, but if you don't have the same swing speed the carry short and long will be a problem. Just a thought
@@mattiaspodvorec2639 my reply was talking about the speed =)
What I would like to see from golf teachers is a list of at least 10 players that they have taught with their handicaps at the start of instruction and their handicaps 6 months after instruction. I have never seen anything like this. I suspect the results would not be very good.
You'd be wrong then, everyone who I've taught this to has improved and lowered their handicap lol =P
Larry Cheung Golf ‘Everyone”. You’re probably the exception.
Your follow through is way past waist height maaaaaan
I did mention and acknowledge that my feel is waist to waist and know that the swing is bigger than that. It’s a feel, the key is honing onto your own personal feel so it’s easy to repeat :)
