Do everything in this video + clean your grooves after every shot + use a very good ball. Even if you never actually use this shot in a round, just practicing this technique for a few hours during the year will make you a better chipper around the greens
A few short years ago I had finally gotten down to scratch. Since then I've played maybe 4or 5 times a year the past 6 years. It sucks to know i once was able to pull off all the shots inside 90 yds and not be able to now. Losing the knowledge and feel for these shots happens way faster than i ever imagined. These videos have been a blessing for me. I don't really care if I'm ever a scratch golfer again but I do want to play well enough that my 6 yr old will listen to me while I'm teaching him to play. He has recently been bitten by the golf bug and the most fun I've ever had playing golf is with that little guy. The best feeling I've ever had playing golf is last week we played 9 holes and somewhere in there he looked at me and said "you're pretty good at this game dad". Anyway, i enjoy your videos because they've helped me to be able to enjoy golf again. 👍
Omg the clicks!! Gahh!! I'm such a junky! Haha. Thanks Matt, awesome and fun as always! However, i need some help - what wedges do i keep in the bag? And wth should i be sacrificing? Currently past the 10i (PW), 50 or 52 and my fave weapon 56 puts me at 14 clubs.Soo??
How could you not like this guy he should be in the movies his humour and timing is priceless , that’s not a adverse reflection on his instruction which is top class , thanks Matt.
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and finally subscribed. This was an awesome and East to understand video from method to use on the course. Your long irons video changed my game!!! Hitting my 5 iron on the money now! Love your videos keep them coming!!
Patty Dodero Remember he’s hitting these with a 62 and the ball is going barely 8 to 10 feet high. A normal strike from that distance with a 62 and the ball would be twice that high. The shot can also be hit with gap wedge or pitching wedge pretty effectively if you want an even lower trajectory
Great video which is very similar to the 80 yd gap wedge with a 51 degree. Hands low around your body ...... Mr Short Game at his best. Keep up the good work .
Its rhe best shot man, its super accurate imagine throwing a dart at a dart board...theres a reason pro dart players don't lob their darts at the bullseye...for hugh you have to take in trajectory as well as direction and landing spot, and the roll is inconsistent sometimes it rolls out others it just dies, if you slide underneath the ball goes nowhere if the club face is too close you hit it too far from trying to swing harder (because ur assuming the clubface is open)...only go high if you have to
Great tip for all of us trying to lower our handicap. I never thought of using such a high lofted club for that shot, I usually use my Gap Wedge for my low spinner's. I will try it with my Ping Zing LW the next time I am on the practice range.
Love this video! I love how you keep it real and use simple words and describe it in a way that everyone understands. What would you suggest for someone practicing this shot that tends to pull the ball to the left when trying to keep the hands low?
Hey man thanks . I’m not new but been away from golf 6 years and I’m looking for a ball to spin around the greens but also a ball to hit long off the T. I shoot around 95 a round. Also my home course is country club type course tight lies beautiful fairways cut daily greens are fast and soft . I can’t get off the tee so my scores sucks but I’m great around the greens is the Pro V1 still king of spin on the greens be honest sincerely your new fan
I have to try this. I'm missing a shot like this. Highest wedge I have tho is a 58. I never did hit my 60 all that well, but could be talked into another Vokey lol
very good tip but it could have been done in 2 minutes 30 seconds. this goes for other tips that i have watched from this gentleman....they are good but way to much banter. when he realizes that his info is good but delivery needs work, he will be really on to something.
You said you were going to explain why there are times to choose the low spinner over a standard high pitch but then only said it was to avoid the big mistakes. So are you saying it’s specifically used for tight lies so you don’t chunk it?
wonderful video, but it would help if we knew how far the shot is to get an understanding of swing length and speed you have used. the club loft we have.
@@kennethramsey5957 Its not so much a question of skill but of practice and risk appetite. If I have a 30-35 yard pitch with limited space to land and stop it, I can either hit that shot or try to hit a 40 yard flop which in my experience is WAY harder to pull off than this shot. Just got to keep your hands low and moving left a bit back in your stance with an open club face. Its really not as hard as it seems.
Your awesome, I look forward to everything you post!!.. you've got a fan up here in Canada.. cant wait now for spring and the courses to open up.. ( to think I lived 8 years in Tampa/Saint Pete, I could of been golfing )
An entire video on a short game shot and not 1 detail about the wrists? What are my wrists doing on this shot? Pronation/supination, flexion/extension, radial, ulnar? Combos of those and HOW.
@@sumsar0125 haha yup. Didn't want to be dick about it but not just was there no spin, the shots were off an upslope too Never heard anyone talk about getting spin and being steep in the same sentence
"It's not a sales pitch... but be sure to click the links below!" 🙄 I get it, but the more you go out of your way to monetize every opportunity you can (a lot), the less is seems about "us". A lot of other channels can help *without* shoving ways for you to build income down our throats. "Like, subscribe, ring the bell" is usually plenty for those truly invested in helping viewers get the most out of content... you get revenue _just_ for people to watch, maybe focus on *THAT* more than getting the people that do show up to line your pockets with their affiliate money instead.
I don't know. Why would I intentionally mishit a shot when I can get it just as close by hitting a normal shot? Heck, on this example you have here, I could run that ball up onto the green with a bump and run six iron. Your videos are usually quite useful but you are stretching it a bit with this one.
So I kind of figured this out on my own as a way to control shots that need to stop quick without hitting a high risk flop shot. I heard people talking about hitting spinners so i looked it up and have been doing this on my own for a year. Goes to show you that you need to spend way more time practicing shots inside 100 yards than you do hitting driver and long irons. You learn stuff just from tinkering based on the needs of your game.
Keeping hands low flattens the lie angle and squares the face whilst having an open leading edge, bounce exposed. You say steep but it looks on plane. And allows downcock to rip those grooves. Not rotating it over is important. I hit out to 100 yards like this, just widen stance, match the backswing and follow through lengths, less open but still open. Love your strike, really clean.
Question I use a Taylor M2 10.5 Driver and hit a low ball flight, but I also flip and come over the top and often leave a divot in front of the tee. Should I increase or decrease loft? Thank you
Will have to try this shot...really struggle within the 10-50 metre range....love your end comment at 07.50 about how when the "low little guy" who goes chick, chick, chick..." hilarious and well done video! Pete Down Under
Can you review the Bombtech 3 wedge combo pack. $177.00 for all three and I’ve heard and seen good things but it would mean more of you reviewed them. Any chance you could do a head to head with your vokey wedges?
Great video. The random synth/bass music is not my cup of tea, adds nothing to the video and for me personally a bit annoying and distracting. But who am I to complaint when you're the one giving out the free instructions? Thank your for all the videos.
You have any loner clubs not in use? Mine got stolen, with wallet and shades, and 48 new pro Vs. Help a stick brother out. Ill preach and let friends play with them as well, to make them love titleist like we do.
Absolutely right! Our Swedish hero; Robert Karlsson, who made over 600 European starts - former Ryder Cup player and vice Captain in the latest, told the exact same tip for our Swedish juniors at soam point... GREAT STUFF !!!
New subscriber. Just watched this and the video on your "chip and slide" method. In that one you don't take the backswing high, this one you do. My question is: how do I choose which method to use?

How’s he doing now?
Excellent drill Matt. Something I will definitely practice. It seems like a safer shot compared to a flop shot too.
Omg the clicks!! Gahh!! I'm such a junky! Haha. Thanks Matt, awesome and fun as always! However, i need some help - what wedges do i keep in the bag? And wth should i be sacrificing? Currently past the 10i (PW), 50 or 52 and my fave weapon 56 puts me at 14 clubs.Soo??
Thank you, very helpful
Very good tks..
I’m TOO NEW to get it!!😅 But why not just use a 7 iron for the same results? Help!!😂
Good idea. This shot is just fun.
These give themselves a title and actually believe it.
This vid could be 3 mins long.
I can hit a low spinner really well.
Unfortunately only with the driver.
xk(z
xI9 ZiU
Lmao
I tried this shot,and as soon as I fish my wedge out of the pond I’m gonna try it again 😏
Yeah like MOST of these guys that PLAY GOLF EVERY FUCKING DAY they think it's ALL A PIECE OF CAKE !!
Lol
While you are looking for your wedge in the water, don’t forget your ball.
😂🤣😂🤣
I’d be raging at the kid playing techno from his car every time you hit a shot. 😂
I can hit the low spinner. Just don't know when it's coming.
🤣🤣🤣
Me too but now I understand
Ah, so thats why this shot isn't in my "arsenal", I'm pretty much trying to do the opposite of everything you showed us. Great video Matt.
You're wedge videos have made me a beast near the green. Thank you!
How could you not like this guy he should be in the movies his humour and timing is priceless , that’s not a adverse reflection on his instruction which is top class , thanks Matt.
Me, a 30 handicapper, clicking on this video:
This will be a great shot to add to the arsenal
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and finally subscribed. This was an awesome and East to understand video from method to use on the course. Your long irons video changed my game!!! Hitting my 5 iron on the money now! Love your videos keep them coming!!
In Mr. Hogan's '5 Lessons', he wrote about 'the most amazing shot in the modern pro's repitoir', the low flying wedge.🐈
Handle high at address, ball goes lower. Handle lower it will go higher
I have to be honest not hating but it seems like his ball isn’t checking up that much maybe it’s just the camera angle but I’m seeing it release
Not seeing how this is considered low.... hum.
Patty Dodero Remember he’s hitting these with a 62 and the ball is going barely 8 to 10 feet high. A normal strike from that distance with a 62 and the ball would be twice that high. The shot can also be hit with gap wedge or pitching wedge pretty effectively if you want an even lower trajectory

I still hit all my pitches low after many years of playing golf. Have difficulty in hitting the ball higher. Thanks for the video.
Most pros hit theirs low anyways it’s the best way to control spin and distance
Its rhe best shot man, its super accurate imagine throwing a dart at a dart board...theres a reason pro dart players don't lob their darts at the bullseye...for hugh you have to take in trajectory as well as direction and landing spot, and the roll is inconsistent sometimes it rolls out others it just dies, if you slide underneath the ball goes nowhere if the club face is too close you hit it too far from trying to swing harder (because ur assuming the clubface is open)...only go high if you have to

This video would have been a lot more impressive if you would have had more camera angles from near the pin showing
how much the ball was checking
Its not showing those angles becos they aren't checking.......maybe he should see how phil does it....definitely saw all those balls checking from DTL
Mr. Game -Thanks for all the knowledge- I have to ask who makes those Green/ gray golf Pants? I need some fashion help. Most appreciated.
Love this video! I love how you keep it real and use simple words and describe it in a way that everyone understands. What would you suggest for someone practicing this shot that tends to pull the ball to the left when trying to keep the hands low?
they dont call you mr. short game for nothing. great stuff
Awesome, but incredibly difficult. Tried 3 buckets on range - not a single shot successfully- shanks, toes etc. 😢😢😢
I’m confused. In a previous video you emphasized NOT turning your body. Also, why not just use a lower lofted wedge?

I like your teaching but you talk too much unnecessary things. Just focus on the technique and make it less wording. Chat too much
I love when he says, "and I tapped in for par". I would have 3 putted.SMH
You can skip the 1st 5 1/2 minutes of this video... Jesus that was frustrating.
3 min into the video still haven’t taught me anything. Use less words. My time is valuable
wonderful video, but it would help if we knew how far the shot is to get an understanding of swing length and speed you have used. the club loft we have.
Ah the old "impress your friends" shot. I generally cut across it hitting it hard off the toe. Comes in like a bullet takes one hop and stops dead.
You must be one in a hundred. Great going!

what course is this? background reminds me of irvine / costa mesa area
So no divot Matt? Looks like you are pretty much nipping it
Those shots weren't low nor were they checking lol. You need to lean in more on your front foot to get more spin.
Often the captions cut off the demonstration, as in this blog.
Your awesome, I look forward to everything you post!!.. you've got a fan up here in Canada.. cant wait now for spring and the courses to open up.. ( to think I lived 8 years in Tampa/Saint Pete, I could of been golfing )
Love your attitude!!!
I love it. BUT….. you never mentioned the aiming
That's my shot....
And it "checks" up
Hey whatever works to get me on the green from within 50 yards
hi. where can i buy your trucker cap?
im really like it 👍🏼
An entire video on a short game shot and not 1 detail about the wrists? What are my wrists doing on this shot? Pronation/supination, flexion/extension, radial, ulnar? Combos of those and HOW.
😆 thanks for the "instruction". I live learning golf on UA-cam. I have become a scratch golfer by watching these profound videos.
Dude I need that shirt, share link. Nice video.
Or u can just chip a 9 iron.. But.. Thats too easy..
FFS so much dribble.at the start 1 minute 30 secs of nonsense
Dawg, the music rocks and since I'm a sound guy...love the click at contact!
I play this shot with my 6 iron sometimes, when I'm hitting into the wind and want control...
Can't say i'm seeing the spin
Most of them stop second bounce
Great tips man. Will definitely give this a go soon 👊🏼
If Michael Scott played golf
that keep your hands low is huge.
I've got a 64° wedge I can't wait to try this with. Can't wait for winter to be over.........
Might be smart to have a back of hole camera when shooting a video on spin
It didn't look like they spun all that much. They all ran out at least 2-3 yards.
@@sumsar0125 haha yup. Didn't want to be dick about it but not just was there no spin, the shots were off an upslope too
Never heard anyone talk about getting spin and being steep in the same sentence
Get to the video already.....bla bla bla!!
not subscribing is half the fun
That's power putt territory mister
I wish I watched these videos sooner
hi matt. where can i buy your green logo hat? please share the link. TQ
Texted. am i into the scammer?
4 makeable puts out of 40 shots
Taking too long to get to the point
TPI @ Oceanside CA 👍
love new shirt and move.

Well I’m always chipping out of thick rough on a steep incline over a bunker.......any tips from there ?
Buddy, get of the powder...... Your going a 150 MPH.......... Slow down, I like the info but your going way to fast........
You're the best! You fixed my duck hooks with my driver. Just adding the slight pressure with my right thumb on my left thumb...my power fade is back!
Can’t wait to try this out!

I pulled off an 85yd version of this last Sunday with my 52 - ball checked on a tight pin just like on tv - thanks Matt, I owe you
Nice explaination
I have the same shirt
This is like 99% of my chips. BUT, I open the face, and use forward shaft lean.
Love your face.
