Pitch it Like the Pros 

Riley is unbelievable. The details he imparts on Finesse Wedge technique is simply incredible. The nuances goes beyond what Sieckmann teaches at TPI G3!

You just saved me 6 strokes!!! Genius!!!

Excellent content..kudos to TJ for asking questions like a new student. Amazed how you guys enthusiastically share this knowledge!! VERY grateful!

Amazing content guys. Now I have a system to work on vs pondering why it work yesterday and not today. This will make my short game sessions more fun. Cant wait for chipping and bunker videos guys!

Great video! Now I want to learn the spin on that stops and checks! Good Job Riley and TJ! Thank you!

This is great content. Thank you

The bit about how to load the club on a pitch shot is what I’ve been looking for my entire golf career. Incredible explanation! Good bye chili dips 🤞

Great content guys,short game is where people really struggle,and yet it is a massive part of the game...........hope for much more short game stuff from you both........ thanks again for pure content......... love you guys!

12:53 Great to see you add the toe down concept. I heard this concept for my chip from a Luke Donald Master class and have been using the concept with all my clubs. Also makes the active hands a perfect upgrade to the swing! Still must throw the club out.

Great coaching on pitching and chipping!

Excellently demonstrated

Wow…didn’t realize how knowledgeable you guys are on short game system. What an eye opener! I knew about toe down, but I didn’t know about grip in the lifeline and rib sway to move the club. That’s a nice shallow swing with a forgiving impact area…I live in S Florida, so I’m going to try this into the Bermuda grain!

Great video on pitching! Would love to know more about ball position and weight distribution at setup and during pitching motion.

Thank you... I am spending much more time on chipping and pitching now.

Wow, these guys really know their business! Great info: the grip is something sadly overlooked by we hackers. Thanks so much : Grateful Aussie.

MOst excellent, I have been adding too much spin and getting the ball to check... and coming up way too short :)... must have too much heal bias, can't wait to change my grip and give this a go! Many Thanks

Great chipping tips

Great content 👍

absolutely effing great

wow. For a long time, I wonder why my chip shots tended to go right off line a little bit. Now I understand why . The best explaination of why the chip shots require verticall shaft position. Thank YOU

Only through the first 7 minutes, but this was an immediate "subscribe". When one defines all his terms prior to using them, I'm ready to pay attention. Differentiating between "sole" and "bounce" that way was even new to me. Back to the video. . .

Great video. I was messing around with toe down chips for quite some time now with great success because it almost guarantees relatively good contact. This video has helped with some set up issues, especially the grip. I’m in the market for whole new set of wedges so would you recommend full face wedges, which seem to be pretty popular now?

Awesome video gents can’t wait to try this out! Would any of these concepts like toe down or grip changes easily translate or be applicable to under 100 yard 1/2 or 3/4 wedge shots? I watched your other video on driver versus wedge but the turn interaction part of this got me wondering.

Very Interesting. The energy in energy out point in regards to distance control, is in my opinion, also the absolute key to putting. The human brain is really good at measuring distance, and if you load a system, all that’s needed is to let that energy go. Once acceleration gets involved, shit goes haywire. Understanding this one thing, transformed me from a terrible putter to one of the best in the city. It’s almost feels like magic. Just look at the target, think how far back, then stop and let it go. But it requires significant trust, once you get that though, all putting issues solved.

Game changer

Unfortunately i have left sub par world that your crazy swing videos instantly transported me to,But my short game has stayed their! due to using my chest more and weirdly feeling my hips/pelvis push down and back,in other words a mini version of what i have been working on with your full swing methods (comment made b4 watching video so might not be relevant!)

Great lesson! Love the full explanation of why we should be toe down, rather than, "set up with the toe down!" If the toe up, heel down "spooning" issue is detrimental to a pitch, why isn't it on a bunker shot where everyone tells you widen the stance, hands lower and get closer to the ball effectively puts the spoon right on the ball?

My irons are 1up, all my wedges are 1-2* flat, makes such as difference especially on hard links courses as the toe glides rather than the heel catching and turning the face down.

Great Stuff..Chest Flow out to the Toe!

I tried this on the lawn and it worked well!.. It looks like in this video you're roughly 20 yards from the pin. Would you recommend this method (shaft in the lifeline and toe bias) for longer shots, say 50-60 yards out? Or, put another way, at what distance would you start thinking about a more conventional grip and set-up? This might vary from player to player but a rough idea... Thanks!

Very interesting! But what is AoA, launch angle and spin rates for these shots?

Any sense that latest game improvement irons even in sand and gap wedges have “hot faces” and create adjustment to roll, distance? Especially if you try 9 iron or 7 iron chips over longer distances deep into green….

What does the transition between finesse wedge and distance wedge look like, or do you use this technique to as far out as it will work and then simply transition to dialed back full swing mechanics to close the distance gap between max finesse wedge and distance wedges yardages? Thanks for this info, btw. Really, really helpful. Thanks!

Milo lines says for a high spinning pitch you must open your club face and lower the handle down as opposed to lifting it up because if you leave it high your more likely to hit the hosel. Your thoughts please

do you have a max distance you would use the setup for

Hello, what would the weight distribution be through this process…with thanks

Hey guys.. I love having the feeling of my thumb lifeline being the pivot in my backswing even with my full swings. Is that feeling something you guys thinki should keep? It feels like I geta consistent takeaway and it also aids in my chest rotation. Thanks

Hey Dudes: g or gravity is 9.8 M/s per second. This is a force which is acceleration not velocity. Which is meter/second. Hate to be a physicist golfing coach. Great video training just a slight error in force/Gravity description.

Question in regards to the club: would having a wedge bent 1 degree flat be beneficial to assist with this pitching technique?

So when would you advocate chipping with utilization of the leading edge for 30 yards and in? Do you ever need to? Less forgiving. For very short 5-10 yard shots?

Can’t believe he drained it. Great video

I'm wondering the max distance that this shot would be appropriate?

In deep rough what adjustments do you make?

I the video pitch like a pro. When you about the movement and positions of the hands. When the trail hand clocks and bends backwards. You talk about during the backswing how the lead hand sort of bends. Is that bend knuckles down, or is that bend with the knuckles facing away from my body. Just looking for some clarity

Are you feeling that loop / infinite shape with the head club / your hand with these short shots ?

Your info is great but it misses which hand is driving , where pressure is.

Ive been on the Joe Mayo technique which is completely against this method. It has changed my pitching and his premise is lots of shaft lean high vsp and steep aoa with loft. Its intresting stuff

I have heard from your colleagues that you lower your hands when hitting out of the sand trap - what are your thoughts around this? I’m sure there maybe several ways to accomplish the same objective using different techniques.

How many yard from Riley and TJ stand to hole?

For pitch 14:17 whats distance can use

you guys are such homers for Hovland, and yet I don’t hear anything in this video about the importance of spin loft. Where do you guys stand on the whole Joe Mayo spin loft discussion that is all the rage right now and which evidently resurrected Hovland’s pitching technique?

When I leave the hands behind I tend to shank my wedges, by lifting the handle the way you have explained help prevent that. Thanks

"loaded the trail wrist complex"......

A zinger said he built a career on the toe. In the lifeline is new to me.

Love the lessons but most golfers on here understand how golf physics work. You start losing me when you start down the rabbit hole. Keep it just a little more simple and to the point. Just my opinion guys not bashing.

Could not been shown or explained ANY BETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
