Avoid vaccines, they have toxins like mercury, aluminum, aspartame/formaldehyde, squalene etc that cause diseases like Gulf War syndrome and Alzheimer’s. So think twice about getting the swine flu vaccine that’s going to be forced on nations by the World Homicide Organization.

couldent agree more on a pitch shot u dont want your hands leading the shot the position you have at adress is the postion you should have at impact and keeping straight wrists with the follow through

No, thats called scooping the ball. You want your hands leading the ball and compress. You want the divot in front where the ball was at adress. This is very good advice.

he isn’t the reason average golfers ****. The reason is because the average golfer is not athletic and they just ****.

bottomley2:

What are you talking about??!!?

The hands always lead before the clubhead. Even at impact, the hands are ahead of the clubhead, and the clubhead goes down through the ball taking the divot after (except for the Driver where it goes up, hence putting the ball more forward in the stance).

The hands lead the club, the shoulders lead the hands, the hips lead the shoulders.

Go ahead and look at slow motion vids of Tiger. You will see this.

you are wrong and right bottomley2. you want your hands leading the shot, but at impact it does return to the same postion

This is the worst advice ever. You are the exact reason why average golfers ****. How come Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer ever, says you should try and get the clubhead in front of your hands as soon as possible on the downswing. He says you should have the club sitting vertical at address and then return it to there. YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR HANDS LEADING THE SHOT. Don’t believe me watch tiger, or look up Jack. Not some chump named Greg Anderson. Please remove this video!

it’s only a slight increase in loft, plus hitting down on the ball delofts it by about 5 or more degrees anyway. plus flop shot is more of a straight shaft at impact rather than hands ahead of the club head.

if u open up a 60 degree wedge you’ll be playing like a flop shot

yea that will cause you to flip at the ball and it increases your chances of hitting the shot thin

maybe he opens the lob wedge to use the bounce on pitch shots.

Yeah Uzi, you only use a 60 degree wedge because you don’t have any skill. Why would you open up a 60 degree wedge. Use a 56 degree wedge (a sand wedge) for a pitch shot.

I also saw a video demonstrating the pitching shot, however, the guy did not lift his right heel at the end of his 40~60 yard pitching shot. Is it good to keep your right foot on the ground? How do you recommand?
