Thanks for a great lesson, Mike! This was just a fraction of what we went through that day and even though I’ve been playing for 27 years, everything I learned during our lesson was game changing. If you are thinking about visiting Mike for a lesson, stop and just do it. It’s a great experience and Mike is a true professional who really cares about making sure his students comprehend what he teaches and improve. Definitely the best lesson I’ve ever had!
Ake! Thank you so much, brother! I can’t tell you what that means to me! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫵 It was an absolute pleasure working with you and getting to know you! You are first class all the way! I am always here for you, whatever you need. Looking forward to reconnecting soon! Thank you for letting us film your lesson so we all can get better from your experience! 🙏🏼
What a great video, clear, concise and relatable, love this channel. GOLDEN NUGGETS galore, this is where we can score and better our am game a ton. thanks Mike keep up the great work.
thank you so much for watching! I’m so happy you found the content useful! I will definitely keep it up and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see featured!
@@GolfPitt id like to see you make a video of your yard go to drills, drills we can do in our yard where we don't see ball flight( hitting into our nets) or have electronics to help us.id be interested to see what you would work on. just an idea.
I can’t thank you enough for your kind words Peter! That is exactly why we do what we do to help more people play better Golf then ever and enjoy the world’s greatest game more than ever before! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video! I love the 9 o'clock. I've used this for years with my 4 wedges. It gives you 4 distances spaced about 12 yards apart. You have motivated me to find my 30 and 50 the same way. Thanks
Awesome lesson, thank you for sharing! Body landmarks is great instead of guessing and just trying to go fast all the time for me. Have always been stronger than most but after a year of just trying to crush the ball I’m learning finesse and timing is key. The tip of not needing speed/power/turning my hips fully under 150 yards might have unlocked something in my mind!
That’s awesome! Yes, they are two very different skills, and speed is very useful and necessary, as well as being able to control your distance inside 150! thanks for watching!
Awesome video and something that I am struggling with at the moment after my first competition round last week. Had so many shots in the 30-70 yard range that I didn't know how to it correctly or get solid contact with. Thanks again!
@@GolfPitt Worked on it during a session at the range and its definitely getting better. Almost holed out from 60 yards today so definitely going in the right direction. However struggling with the 30/40 yard shot as I seem to be hitting them off the hosel a lot!
Unbelievable video! One thing I struggle with is the concept of irons vs wedges. Let me ask you this - is the take away the same and what’s the difference in wrist positions? Thank you!
Hi Adam, great lesson! However as a newer golfer. Can you let’s is know what clubs are good choices for these type of shots. I think club choices explain in videos would be super helpful to the viewers.
we can definitely cover some of that, as students of encore lessons, find out really fast club selections, yardages, and intentions, all play a major role and success without any technical changes! New golfer takes time to understand what you can do with these different clubs… kind of like an artist learning to paint with different brushes!
Mike is the best! Great coach. Question about the setup…on these shots, more of the leaning tower of Pisa feel than the hip bump? At what distance are you making the setup change?
I had no idea you keep things stacked on the front foot and primarily rotate with the upper body all the way out to 165 yards (8 iron for me). Is this purely a result of the narrow stance and hip bump, less weight shifts off to your back foot and it keeps you more on your left side. I must have been getting a bit too wide in my mid irons and my ball striking reflects me moving off the ball and ripping with my hips like this student.
In this lesson I was using my 58 degree but I’m guessing that will vary depending on how far you hit your clubs. My personal goal is to learn how to hit those yardages with multiple clubs so I can pick the trajectory and flight appropriate for the situation at hand on the course. Long story short, it doesn’t really matter what you use as long as you can hit those yardages!
boom! Spoken like a true professional Ake! 30yd and 50 yd I’m most likely going to use my 58 degree. I do have a 90 yard 58 shot in my bag, but I would rarely use it, maybe downwind or something. Ake is spot on that you want to have access to the same number with different clubs. In competition my 9 o’clock 54°, would be my 90 yard shot. Normally for a 60 yarder I would use a 58° unless it was a back pin and I wanted to hit a low one and skip it up there. It’s all shot and situation dependent! thanks for watching and the questions! thank you too ake!
Thank you I am newer to golf and love this channel. I get it now as I was getting these yardage with my 54 and 60 but light bulb moment never thought different heights abs decent angle and spin.
haha! Hopefully in 2024! We will certainly keep you posted!! anyone have sites they know of that may want to host us!? please reach out and let us know if you do! info@golfpitt.com or info@porzakgolf.com
