I see Phil has a new short game DVD that was recently released. Has anyone seen it or is thinking of buying it. I'm wondering if it is worth the $50.

Since he's one of the best short game artist's I've ever seen the thought of buying the DVD crosses my mind, but the 64* full swing, flop shot from 25 yards out isn't my style of play at all. So for me it'd be a waste of money but it depends on your style of the short game.

I agree with bogeyhitter25. I have never had the need for a 25foot flop or 64* full swing, ever. I guess if you like this style of short game, then buy it.

You've got to love Phil's short game - imagination and skill but I'd have to agree with earlier posters - flop shots and 64 degree wedges just get us mid & high handicappers in trouble. Learning to chip and pitch with consistency has to be our goal. Maybe the flair will come later. Cheers

I'm sure the video consist of more than flop shots with a 64º. No doubt he's one of the best on the short game.

Yeah, I agree with the previous posters. He is one of the best but I'd think that you need a lot of practice and discipline to play his style.

I have to disagree here.
I just watched the dvd yesterday and thought it was pretty helpful. He actually completely simplifies the short game. He shows how he only uses one method the "hinge and hold" to hit everything from a tiny chip, to a bump and run 9 iron, to the huge flop. Really simple AND effective. Tried it out yesterday. I was already doing something similar, but this was even better. If you watch highlights of Tiger around the greens he uses the same technique. A perfect example is the famous chip at 16 at the masters...hinge and hold. Phil delivers the whole thing with a funny and light hearted approach.

The putting technique part is pretty different than most instruction. He advocates the ball being outside and forward of the eyes. Pretty tough to get used to, i tried it but it is too big a change for me for now. The advice on green reading is good, not great. He offers good drills and a good short game plan in general. It's also great watching him hit the shots, he'as a master to say the least.

I would recommend it!

64 deg lob wedge flop shot??

Yeah, that was about 5 minutes out of 1.5 hours.

This is a great dvd set. Two disc. Best I have seen yet. Covers putting, chipping, pitching/lob, and bunker play. I recommend this dvd set to anyone wanting to improve their shortgame.
