@BDiddy106 Hey man i definitely see where your coming from, however this
tip is something that every PGA Tour tournament player does, they actually
try to lay the ball up to an exact distance from the tee or on a par5 they
cant reach in two. It is kind of aimed at the more elite player however you
should practice getting one yardage that you luv & then if you cant reach
the green try and hit that spot/number instead. Example favorite yardage is
75 228 yards, instead hit it 153 leaves 75
@tatchy1001 Hey Tatchy pro golf is focused around distance control
especially from 120 yards & in. The propose of the tip is to help players
understand the importance of figuring out how far they hit each wedge. If i
hit my pw 115yds with a standard swing, let’s say on the 1st hole i only
have 105, i know that i have to hit the pw a little softer than standard.
Having spent time with Justin Rose, Lee Westwood, Scott Drummond & many
other top players, Im only explaining how & what they practice
That is the biggest load of shite I’ve ever heard. How the hell is that an
awesome tip and like cheating you bell end. It’s got nothing to do with
controlling your distance. If you walk 10 yards further and do the same
thing you’d hit all 3 clubs over the back of the green into the bunker FFS.
You may as well be telling people a full 5 iron goes fuirther than a full 7
iron!!!!!!!!!!!! Shite teacher!!!!!
@tatchy1001 good point . good golfers know their club distances with one
golf swing , but great golfers know their club distances with many golf
swings ,
I have 4 wedges though
No, it’s the different club that affects the distance. For instance, a full
swing with a 3 iron is going to go further than a full swing with a 7 iron.
The difference in distance between wedges isn’t as extreme as that example,
but it illustrates the point.
I thought the last was going to hang up, but came back just like you said.
Nice shot bro!
So good…
On the second vue I can ‘t see anybody with the camera in front of you!
Great idea… one swing, different clubs. Will share this with my readers
on my blog, golfgurls.
thats pretty bleeping awesome advice. Thanks.
@iGolftv in response to you’re answer to BDiddy106. what happens if you
have 228 yards want to hit it 153 to leave 75 yards and you’re either
between clubs to hit it 153 (in which case you couldn’t lay up at 75
without manufacturing your second shot risking hitting a bad one, or you
get a big bounce and it goes 163 and you have 65 yards to go with a bunker
at 75 yards??????? yet again it makes the tip completely redundant as you’d
have to take some off this “one swing” technique yes?
@theMANxGOLFER I use a very similar system to yourself only with 4 wedges
and it is a pretty strong part of my game as a result. But that system goes
against the advice on this video which (unless I’ve missed something)
suggests using 1 swing and changing the club and therefore only being
accurate method if you are able to lay up at the exact yardage you hit that
1 swing. I just think the video claims the method offers more than it does
IMO
@iGolftv and by the way I was a teaching pro for 6 years before becoming a
technical rep for Callaway during which time I worked with staff players on
the fitting side and those guys practice their distance control in slightly
more detail than hitting their wedges flat out with 1 swing. Like I said 10
yards closer and this whole tip is useless as it was explained IMO
@iGolftv Thanks. Already my game has improved. It’s a lot easier to control
my distances.
Ok I am very confused. If you are using the SAME swing as you claim that
means you are decelerating as you hit the ball. I would rather use a
different backswing and be come through the ball with a consistent strike
rather than using the same length of a backswing for everyshot and then
trying to control the distance. If you could correct me wrong by explaining
further please do so.
@tatchy1001 The part of the video I am responding to is distance control.
iGOLFtv has set yardages for a certain swing and club. I have developed
several swings and clubs in which I use similiarly. I am expressing my own
method of distance control. The comment was more for iGOLFtv, I see you
have found this video to be very negative.
@geckoguy4444 Luv it…….practice with 3 of them and use the forth as a
door stop

okay this is a dumb tip. of course if you have three different clubs you
can hit it three different distances. For each club, you are going to have
the same swing for the maxed out distance. This tips only makes sense if
you have the correct distance for you game. Lets say for him, what if he
was 100 yards out? then you have to adjust your swing and feel out the
distance. The yardages that he picked where the perfect yardages for his
clubs and that rarely happens.
@iGolftv They aim for a certain yardage to leave their favourite wedge
distance but but as I’ve mentioned even they don’t hit it every time and if
they do miss it they certainly wouldn’t just take a full swing knowing it
would fly the wrong distance which again makes the tip pointless the way it
was explained. I’ve yet to see a tour pro of any level have such control of
their distances that wouldn’t mean they weren’t exactly at thei “one swing”
distance
@tatchy1001 So what do you think a pro or elite player would do in this
situation, just hit down & except a random yardage?
Nice video. I definately developed a solid 3/4 and a1/2 swing. It allows me
to have 8 distances I can trust. Great method.
I’m feeling good about my 3 and 4 hybrids as well as my wedge game, what I
would love a tip on is my 7-5 irons.. I can relate to your style of
teaching. Thanks for the vids. Cheers….
@tatchy1001You obviously know what your taking about & i think the
confusion or bad on my part was saying “it’s like cheating”,the contexts
that i meant with this concept is,if a player practices & prepares more
intelligently they are without question gaining a competitive advantage
over the field & there competitors, because many pro’s & certainly 90% of
all amateurs quality of practice is almost a waste of time.The premise
behind every video i make is to practice smarter & score lower! dm
