What Nobody Tells You About Pitching Onto The Green



If you struggle with chip shots and pitch shots around the green it’s because you have a chipping and pitching technique that is either too complicated or your trying to use the same technique for all shots.

In this video Danny Maude explains the difference between chipping and pitching and shows you exactly what technique to use and when.

Here’s what you are going to learn

1. How you set-up to chipping and pitching is crucial for consistent strikes.
2. Really understand the bounce and exactly how to use it.
3. Use a chipping technique for chipping but a pitching technique for pitching

So if you are looking at improving your confidence with chip shots around the green watch the latest video from Danny Maude right here 👇 https://youtu.be/C1GgYb6KqyA

ABOUT DANNY
———————–
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!

I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.

On YouTube and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.

Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble

I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.

I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.

We look at 3 things:

1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver

and I hope to do all this with simple golf tips so you can create an effortless golf swing

so you’ve hit your approach shot just short of the green leaving you that awkward 30 to 80 yards now it’s an awkward pitch shot isn’t it a lot of my students struggle to strike it they struggle with distance control often makes them quite anxious in this golf video I’m going to show you exactly how you can make solid contact with pitching every single time and I’m going to show you how you can control your distance I’m going to give you a little system to do that and it’s really really simple now before I do if you’re new to the channel and it’s your first lesson with me please consider subscribing I release videos like this every single week to try and help you improve your game plus as always you never have to remember a thing whatever I teach you here I’ll put into a free downloadable practice guide in the description box below so I’ve got 60 yards to go here which I’m just going to pick out my 56 degree wedge and the first thing I want to recognize is this you know a lot of times when people are pitching the you know what they do is they try to do a miniature version of of the full golf swing and if you do that full swing is completely different swing mechanics it’s all about power pitching onto the green is all about control and finesse so let me show you what I mean so a full swing mechanics we’re winding ourselves up here the lower body leads followed by the Torso followed by the arms the last thing to come in is going to be the club because that explodes that’s what gives you the power you don’t want anything like that in your pitching when pitching onto the green notice my stance everything is a bit smaller narrower when I swing here the first thing to move on the way down is the club head not my body and everything as I’m coming through is just calm as I’m coming through here the club my hands my sternum everything is calm going through the shot so that’s the first thing to recognize before we start talking about strike and distance control is that the action of pitching is one of calmness not hitting it super super hard and out control if you do that look we start go on oh almost in the hole so calmness is the first thing once you’ve got that essence of what pitching is then what we’ll do now is we’ll start to look at the strike so how do you get a great strike every single time well before we get into that what do you notice the flag has changed I think the green keepers saw my first shot and thought that flag position is too easy and they stuck it in this corner a little bit it’s still 60 yards so we’re okay so strike you need to know three things okay I gave this to a student of mine John this week you know John was really inconsistent with his strike basically you’ve got to control three things you have to control where the club lands how it lands in terms of How deep the club goes are you actually Landing the club on the ground and the third and final thing is where does that ball contact with the face now a lot of times there’s so much information out there telling you how to do this in real detail but with John doesn’t have a lot of time to practice and I gave him some things he can take straight to the golf course and that’s kind of what I want to do for you so you’ve got this calm motion it’s not a it’s not miniature full swing mechanics it’s very calm mechanics very calm swing so I got John simply to look where the ball was here and I got him to make some swings I stage one was can he land the club in line with that golf ball like I’m doing now now what do you think happened John was sometimes Landing it there sometimes Landing it here and sometimes Landing head he was very very inconsistent and I said to him right John you just have to build that skill that awareness before you start hitting loads of golf balls because you know if one minute you are bouncing it here and next minute here of course you’re going to be inconsistent so build the awareness and the skill just just to Simply practice Landing the club on the correct spot every single time once you’ve done that now what I want you to do is just have an even amount of ground interaction I don’t want it one minute going deep and the next minute not hitting the ground so just do a few practice swings before each shot Just Landing it on the spot and getting a nice consistent ground contact is nothing more complicated than that what’s super clever about this is and it’ll be the same for you your body’s really smart it will make the subtle adjustment automatically without you having to tell it so when John started to strike the ground behind the golf ball I didn’t tell him this he started to move his weight more forward in order to strike the ground where he needed to strike it without any instruction from me this is the beauty of this exercise so once we’ got him doing that the final bit was this so if you want to get really good at pitching onto the green you’ve got to get good at striking the ball in the right place with the right part of the golf club so we want to strike that ball just just below the equator with roughly around about the fourth or fifth Groove in this club so all I got John to do and I want you to do the same is simply this just look at that point of the club and look at it and go right I am going to try to make that point connect with that part of the golf ball simple as that now think about it right if I’m up here and I hit with this part that’s going to give me a Top Shot or a thin shot but if all I’m going to do is the aim here is to kind of get this section striking the golf ball what do you already notice with with the club here I’ve got a little bit of lean of the shaft which is going to help that club look strike that golf ball so just looking at the face and thinking right I am going to look at that face now and imagine striking that ball at a certain spot now I’m not going to worry about distance control yet I’m going to look at the face look at the ball and see if I can make connection with just below the equator of that golf ball again I’m not too worried about distance control at this stage all right that’s going to help you develop a really beautiful strike now of course the chances are you’re not going to do this straight away you’re not going to get perfect strike immediately but what you’ve got now is a simple task not a checklist of loads of things to do just a simple task of looking at the face and thinking what part of that ball do I want to strike if I want to get the ball going higher I’m going to strike lower down on the equator if I strike lower down in the equator that Ball’s going to pop up a little bit higher so now I’m going to go a little bit lower I might even look at the I’m already moving my ball forward why because that’s going to help me look strike lower down in the equator if I want to hit a lower shot I want to hit higher up on the equator now look what I do naturally look at this my club goes this way and this way higher on the equator lower on the equator I’m not having to remember this it’s just naturally happening all right so get the strike down low Point depth control contact with face I promise it’ll be hugely hugely valuable now let’s focus on distance control so the final stage is distance control you’ve already halfway there you’ve got your strike okay now I’ve got 56 here I’ve got 60 yards to go what I’m doing is I’m choosing a club that doesn’t require full swing mechanics doesn’t require me to snatch at it or hit it hard remember I want calm I want calm motions so there’s the first thing I’m swinging long enough so I don’t have to snatch it the other thing I’m doing I mentioned earlier I’m imagining as the club is coming down here the club my hands my body are all working at the same Pace what feels like the same Pace together through the impact area I’m not creating one motion where the club’s lagging behind and then I have to suddenly snatch it this is the sensation this is how you control distance so one I’m swinging long enough so I don’t have to snatch if I’ve got a short swing I might snatch it I’m swinging long enough so I’ve got the pace if that length doesn’t get me to the flag I would go from 56 to maybe a 52 degree wedge or even a pitching wedge but I always choose a club that allows me to have the Rhythm so I get myself set here and I’m just swinging at a pace which allows me to hit 60 yards I don’t do clock systems and all that kind of stuff it’s much more of a feel thing that I’ve developed and I want you to do the same so nice and simple here look back through and there we go nice and simple and repeatable okay so pitching onto the green just keep it simple land it on a spot control the depth trust that your body will gradually start to work this out very very important and then get that contact just focus on contact face on ball nothing more than that and then make sure you have this lovely calm golf swing hope you enjoy this video if you did give it a thumbs up and if you want to see a chipping video to go along with this Simplicity okay at its best hopefully click this video right here and of course look there’s a free downloadable practice guide in the description box below but until next week have a wonderful golfing week

  1. Can a twenty or higher handicap, actually get anything from this?

    If I had a fifty eight to sixty degree wedge, to hit it sixty yards, my forward lean, my hands would be six inches to a foot off the ground?

    Lets get OMP, to start a fix your swing, contact the ball, and putting video?

  2. Love your videos and just wanted to say thank you, they’re really helping me to play the game and enjoy it so much more with growing confidence, as I say – thank you so much 🙌🏻

  3. thanks coach…sometimes i get in my head too much with short chips…great thought process to make it easier…now i just need to work on better control for my 100-200 yard shots

  4. As always thanks Danny, It took me 20 years to figure that out! I hope everyone appreciates this information! it's a great reinforcement! for pitching and chipping

  5. Another great video Danny. What I like is the simplicity of your lessons. Many golfers, including myself tend to worry how to play this type of shot, but your advice takes away the anxiety and enables me to play these chip shots with more confidence. Thank you once again.

  6. Great video Danny. When I slow my swing down with my wedges I start to shank the ball. What could be causing this?

  7. As we have now gone on the summer course, im not realy able to hit most greens in regulation😢old age as shackled me. Like most seniors i need to chip it well to boogy the hole at worst or its the dreded double. I have a nasty habit of, on my backswing pulling my right arm in to may body result a shank😢 now i have had 50 years of no real problems but now, i stand over a pitch or chip terrified about the result!! This might just be the answer, ether that or chip one handed 😂

  8. Enjoy how you always tell what club you have. So many instructors fail to mention which club they are using from the distance. Thanks friend!!!!!! Keep up the excellent work!

  9. Thx Danny. It seems to me that working on this aspect of the game would lend itself nicely to establishing swing rhythm. If you agree, maybe a future episode that would take this week’s lesson and build upon it for full swing rhythm?

  10. Hi Danny, brings back a lot of memorys watching you practice, I haven't played for about 30 years but you are giving me inspriation to get out there again. Chgipping and Pitching all comes down to FEEL without the FEEL for the Short Game Golf will be a real Struggle. Love it

  11. My bounce is what is aimed at the front divot, the closer to the face toe means less spin. Trajectory is influenced by ball position on ground, and body angle, tip or not but fixed.
    Seems to work for all ground iron shots, even 1 iron..😊
    Very shorts shots with height and/or spin, splash sand or flop are easier with bounce contact under the ball.

  12. What bounce should you use please Danny? Here in Australia we can go from hitting off ground that's like concrete to like hitting off jelly within four feet of the same green. I never know whether it's the amount of grass the ball is in that should determine the bounce or whether it's the hardness of the ground under it??

  13. Posture is super important on these little shots, don't rush to admire the results, keep your posture thru impact. Personally, I like to stand open on these "tweener" shots.

  14. I will pay closer attention to my shots of the distance covered here because it's been potluck with me so far as to whether I get the club under the ball to give it any loft. Weight over the lead leg is an issue.
