How to use the  

The hook draw you played last... I'm guessing the ball was slightly behind centre line at set up? Much appreciated for the clip! Class as always. Oh - read your book cover to cover in no time. Now rereading and making notes... loved it.

How this man only has 20K subscribers is one of the world's great mysteries. He is as good as anyone at short game instruction. Thank you, Dan Grieve!

Dan, I’ve been playing for 50 some years and in the PGA in the 90’s to the early 2000’s taught many lessons and competed at the mini tour level. Your instruction and breakdown of the three releases is absolutely the best instruction I have ever seen. You have organized it it a beautiful way for students to understand. THANK YOU! Wish you were in the states.

Without a doubt the best short game coach on RU-vid (who can also actually hit the shots and not just talk about it)

Thanks, Dave! Just gorgeous, watching this for hours! You are fabulous!!! Helps truly

This course looks stunning

Dave, the only channel I am watching! Great channel, great book 🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is brilliant with the longer videos Dan. Love the book and look forward for the videos to correlate with the book

Great stuff ….., your content is really helping my short game. Thanks!

Dan the man! Love your content mate. Keep it rolling👍

Love the concept of the 3 releases. Easier to reproduce on the course and as reminders of simple mind markers

Love your down to earth, no razzmatazz approach. Coupled with outrageous skill and an analytical approach. Ordered the book. Can't wait to work on my moderately sketchy short game.

Best informative golf channel out there! All the other RU-vid channels teaching golf step aside!!!

Amazing skills and knows how to explain them!

That hook pitch is the bomb! I tried to do it but it is not that easy. You are a brilliant teacher with amazing technique for great demonstration but you make it look so easy! Kinda like a concert pianist...not so easy to replicate! Love your passion and you are such a motivator!

Thanks for the video Dan. Your techniques have greatly improved my chipping. I keep your book handy.

Best short game coach in the game... Definitely buy his book... It's a great read!

What a magician. Bought your book last week. Brilliant. The videos back up everything I read. I still have the 'yips' sometimes, but I'm gaining more confidance. Had 42 points yesterday....YAY!!!!!!!! only duffed (yipped) one chip

Incredible that’s all I can say to this video 😂 I’m really focusing on short game this winter no doubt it’s my weakness but with your help it’ll be my strength 😅great work

Excellent advice thank you

A tripod would make this so much better.

I am 76. Thanks to your instruction (recently). Hitting drive further than when I was thirty. Hit 6 iron 168 yards, further than 30. Long way to, but getting bey. Thanks

WIZARD!!! Thanks for sharing!

I could watch that all day

Awesome as usual.

I think the cameraman works for the PGA tour because he’s instantly always trying to follow the ball and not the swing.

Got some skills there boyo 😄

Greenside genius 😩🙌🏽

Suggestion: it was interesting to see the ball flight, but I think it would have been instructive see the entire swing. However, when Dan took his actual swing, the camera zoomed in on the anticipated flight of the ball, and all we saw of the swing was Dan's upper body.

Thank you Dan. Changed my short game for the better. For this vid, can you show the tracer (red line showing the flight)to show the trajectory?

I love you techniques in pitching..of the 3 release I actually favor release 1 my favorite, and a bit of 2 , release 3 I tend to hold back and not confident I guess. I can apply the above two releases with confident for say 5-10 meters only with my my favorite club 56. further or >10 meters i get a bit hesitant to apply the above two releases , just trying i guess to learn how to use or apply the reases to 52- 7 iron I guess.

Absolute Gold

Could you do a video with some tips on how take all this to the course & playing under pressure

Awesome 👍

Top notch

I wish the cameraman was as good as you.

Dan - I LOVE the content! The book is great, the videos are amazing. I DO have a question... On pitching, I often have divots left of target and (to me) they seem a tad deep. I think for the A1 - A3 stock pitch shots, you stated to use release-2 setup. Would the "right hand only" drill and the "thumbs off' drill help me ensure I'm hinging and taking the club back at a more shallow plane? I don't want to create too shallow or wristy action with pitching but I'm lacking a good drill to promote good contact with pitching.

I read the pitching section of your book last night so this was well-timed! I do have a question: when I try a higher release and release the right hand *under*, I find it typically pops up to the right, presumably because releasing the hand open leaves the face open? What is the tonic for this?

I wish he woujld have kept showing us the hand cues for the second two releases like the first, how he showed his left hand position for the release cue

Loving your instruction and have recently begun to work on the three releases. Just picked up the book so I can have am the info. I know this is an old video but by chance do you remember the distance you were hitting to? Thanks!

Does anyone know if you should use your standard swing grip for pitching shots? I bought the 3 releases book which is very good but couldn’t find information on grip position, only that we must use relaxed grip.

Would love to see how Dan hits the very short chip to a tight pin position.

Would love to see a shot trace!!

Whats the distance you are hitting? Thank you!

How do I keep @DanGrieveGolf in my bag when I play? Friend, I love your videos. I wish you were in the USA. I'd come see you once a month!

Hey Dan, newbie here. Is the difference between pitching and chipping the realse type you pick? If not, do you use all releases with both pitching and chipping? Would love a video explaining for people new to the game like myself.

Do those techniques work out of the kookoya rough in front of you ? or just the perfect lye you demonstrate from??

100% amazing👏🏌‍♂️

Regarding the loft adjustments mentioned at the start of the video about keeping loft off etc/changing launch angle - why would one not just change the club used, so instead of say a 52°, use an 8 or 9 iron instead?

I’m “lucky enough” to work we trees very often.

Well just bought the book enjoying it , now to practise , if down your way May get you to sign it please .

Dan can you show us a split screen with a face on view aswell as ball flight?

Release 3 is such a useful shot to play but I am struggling with distance control.

Dan, are there more videos that show the releases from a front camera angle? I’m confused about the differences in each release, I’m assuming it’s the club head your talking about and how it releases at the front leg for 1, belly button for 2, and the rear leg for 3. This plus ball position determines flight. Also is tease three always for the bunker?

Great stuff thanks but could use a track man. I couldn’t see the ball I’m afraid.

Great stuff. Pitty the filmer is to close, can not see feet and club at impact.

It’s shoulder line parallel to the target line on all three releases at setup?

Face on view in slow motion would be helpful

Is the release at impact or finishing?

are you using the bounce for these shots?

Looking for the ball.... while touching it, but the camera is another Release...

Are you taking divots off grass?

Can I use release 3 in iron shots too?

Does Dan Grieve have a DVD?

Can we see you fade one please? Thanks

Thanks Dan are you expecting divots for any of these releases or depending on the distance of the shot? I have found for the A2 with 52° I get divots and sometimes a little steep.

You need a tracer!

Read the book finally have real options around the green .

The camera man needs to show you playing the shot, not zooming in on the ball. We are here to see you swing you are demonstrating

I think the camera man needs to stay still so we see all your body from head to toe and all the wedge and ball on the ground . Anyway great video thank you for all your teaching and tips 👌

The only problem I have with the video is you started with perfect lies. Unfortunately, most of the time when you have a tree in the way you are in the rough.

Camera work needs improvement. Pls show the player’s whole body from head to toe to see the full swing.

Really poor camera work.Don't zoom in to just the upper body when you're trying to teach us how to release the club. If we can't see how the club head and your hands move, we don't get the total picture. At the 2:30 mark you cameraman is zoomed in on your head. Why? This video is a total waste of my time.

Couldn’t see the ball or the swing. Worst video in your otherwise indispensable library.
