Thanks Glen. That’s a great video and exactly what I needed you to show me. I have been doing it all wrong up til now, playing the ball back in my stance and chopping down on it. Really appreciate your help. Cheers, Steve
Thanks 230662steve . Good luck with your new setup. With a little practice, I’m sure you’ll be getting these Up’n’down in no time! We look forward to hearing how you get on.
I’ve usually really good with my wedges/pitch shots, but THIS situation has always been my kryptonite!! I’ll hit a perfect tee shot onto a soggy ass fairway and dig my wedge into it every. single. time. Cant wait to try this. thanks!
Spot on Glen. I have been trying your pitching technique and it works! I have had some pitch shots this week from some very wet lies and no problem! I keep the swing shallow and contact is so much easier!
@@AussieGolfPros Your welcome Glen, keep up the great videos. Yes, golf is allowed with restrictions, groups of 2 only, no carts or hire buggies. Golf driving ranges and practice areas closed.
Ok going to try this since it’s been wet lately. Knew opening the face helps with hard lies didn’t try it for wet lies have just been putting back of my stance. Should eliminate my need to hold of club rotation that leads to a pull when placing in back of stance.
I’ve watched this video after fatting most of my wedges yesterday, will give this a go. Although I find it hard to believe you Aussies have actual soft turf like we have in uk autumn! 😂
Look forward to hearing how you get on Tim. We sure do often have to cope with soft conditions in Sydney. More deluge this past week with widespread flooding! ☔️ #itneverrainsbutitpours
@@AussieGolfPros yeh, to be fair you get the extremes don’t you. Well I’m off out to play shortly, temp is -5 with wind chill, course was closed yesterday due to snow and heavy winds! 😂
Great video. Would you say this technique also applies to normal (not wet) fairway lies? Unfortunately my chunks/blades from that distance aren’t exclusive to wet lies
Thank you for your question mojo. When the fairways are firmer, we can ‘compress’ the ball a bit more and the swing doesn’t need to be quite as shallow. Your chunks and bladed shots could be due to early release and having the hands behind the clubhead at impact. Cheers
So much rain in Vic at moment, it will be good when global warming starts so the courses dry out. Good advice thanks I favour using a Pw as gives more confidence, also in winter use a less spin ball type as ball stops anyway
The course I play on has little to no grass and you are playing off a very tight lye literally on a muddy surface. Does your principle still apply? Thanks.
Good video, but you should have moved up 2 feet where the grass was really bare, and showed us. Easier shot where you hit it with the ball sitting up a little.
Wet conditions with very tight lie is a really tough shot for sure, especially if there’s a bunker or something to hit over. I’m still not quite sure how to have the best result other than using gap wedge or PW rather than 60 or 56 wedges. Use putter where you can, but depends on how far and what’s in the path. Very difficult.
Thank you for your questions @BallerP. The opposite of shallow is steep, in golfing terms, this is when the club is approaching the ball from a high position. A shallow angle of approach to the ball, will have the clubhead skimming the grass, rather than digging into the ground. Hope this helps. Glen

Thank you for sharing @JDT859. We look forward to hearing how you go with this shallower pitching technique. Cheers, Glen
This will be very useful here in the Philippines in the rainy season. I tend to dig out a whole cake on my approach shot haha! Thanks!
Thanks Clark. Glad we could help!
Such a great video. Thanks 😊👍
You are so welcome James. Thank you

Perfect! A good short game is always a work in progress! Ha Ha! ....Glad it's all working for you.
Hi Glen, Another brilliant video, I have the exact same trouble with this kind of shot. Well explained.
Great question Steve.
Cheers
Joe
OzCats thanks Joe. How are things in Melbourne buddy? Golf courses still open with the recent lockdowns?

Very interesting. Thank you
You’re very welcome. 🙏
Thanks ❤
You’re welcome Harold! 🙏
This was helpful. Thanks for posting.
No worries! 👍
Very tough shot, especially on an uphill lie with little grass. Very easy to dig no matter what.
It’s a playable shot with these principles. Shallow is key! Thanks Joe.
Great thank you
Our pleasure! Glad we could help.

Right on Geoff. Hope it’s dried out a bit for you! Thank you

Thank you for your question geoopa. Absolutely! Definitely not an easy shot but shallow is still the way to go.
I should have watched this before i played yesterday LOL
It’s never to late to learn! We look forward to hearing how your pitching from soft conditions comes along. Thanks

Thanks for your comments Eddie. For playing from other challenging lies, check out: ua-cam.com/video/GUYYwxKi1fw/v-deo.html

@@joeorlando94 thank you for your comments. Absolutely! A challenging shot but if you use the bounce effectively, you can play these!
That doesn't seem all that soggy. Come play a Seattle, WA course in the fall or spring and it's several times more soggy that this
Yes, I’m sure! We’ve heard how much rain you get in Seattle! Crazy!
How do you hit shallow? What’s the opposite of shallow?
Thank you for your questions @BallerP.
The opposite of shallow is steep, in golfing terms, this is when the club is approaching the ball from a high position.
A shallow angle of approach to the ball, will have the clubhead skimming the grass, rather than digging into the ground.
Hope this helps.
