This shot is a challenge for me. I find myself chunking many of the shots in this range. I wonder if I have too much shaft lean
Ok. Im 71 and 6 Handi in travel play for 18 Holes…This shot is troublesome …I hope this works
worth noting that you have to have a nice lie (certainly not a tight one) to hit it with sand wedge with high bounce
Great ideas and really simple. Where I play golf in tropical Australia we have this nasty grass which is like steel wool for scrubbing pots. It catches the club which results in short shots. Any suggestions on how to play or of this type of grass please?
Love how you communicate in simple to understand terms. I am 67, and a 14 hcpr from Rio Verde, AZ and Calgary, AB.

Hey Todd
61 year old, high handicapper from just outside Niagara Falls Canada.
I don’t have a lot of luck with high lofted clubs. My go to club in this situation is a 49 degrees approach/gap wedge.
However my issue is I either chunk it or worse, skull it across the green. I think finding the right tempo and using the bounce correctly is the root of my problems.
Cheers for all you do. Your content is always on point.
This is such good tips. Thanks, just need to improve my tempo.
Todd,
57 years old, 4 handicap from Indiana. I’m struggling with the pitching & chipping yips. I can take a great practice swing but when I get over the ball I don’t feel comfortable and blade, dip, chunk, etc. What drills can I work on to overcome and where do I buy the stacker?
Thanks, Rodney Russell.
Very very old and grumpy from Iceland, OK with driver, tolerable with woods and hybrids … but shank with the irons, all of them. How about a video on the dreadful shank?
Thanks for all the excellent videos!
Good lesson
I need help hitting balls below your feet
Ken 74 South Florida gone from 108 to 90 from your lessons
I live in Costa Rica. I have been here 4 years and my HDCP has gone form 15 to 30. I am 80 years old and still drive the ball 225 and hit PW 120, 7 Iron 150. I have developed a shank on irons (all) I think your lesson on 50 yard shots flipping wrist is causing me to shank it. I KNOW I CAN STILL PLAY TO 15-20 HDCP. Thanks.
I'm 70 and been playing 56 years, I'm at the moment living in Cannes France. HCP 7 but after my drive I'm always within 50-100yds and these shots are a nightmare for me. Perhaps I expected to get them nearer the pin and put myself under more pressure.
Excellent explanation and demonstration Todd on hitting midrange wedge shots! From time to time, I have difficulty with this range shot because of improper execution. I don't take the club back far enough and don't accelerate through impact. Another possibility is a disconnect with the forearms as you demonstrated so well in your video. Good Job Todd! Keep up the good work!!!
