Stack and Tilt and the short game

[nevets88]

What does SnT say about 100 yards and in, chipping and pitching?

On these shots, I tend not to go as deep with the hands.

Since these are touch shots and you don't need distance, but exact distance, do the SnT principles fully apply as well?

My anecdotal experience is S&T; guys often tend toward Stan Utley's methods for the short game, since his concept of a simple pivot around the left leg is intellectually in line with what you're doing in the full swing. Deep hands don't really apply, because from pitching distance in you are trying to move the hands and grip as little as possible relative to the club head. See here:

Yeah, follow the link to that thread. We're not really big on "hinge and hold" and flying wedges in the short game.
