Is it me or does almost every commentator/host on this show sound like they are yelling? Geez you gotta microphone so that you don't have to do this. Talk normally, the microphone amplifies your voice...that's how it's designed.

They are emoting, it's to demonstrate how much passion they have for the topics.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was hoping that as I approach the tender young age of 47 that I wasn't falling into the 'that music is too loud' syndrome. :)

The competition in that timeslot is First Take and whatever they're calling Skip Bayless' show on FS1. If they want the hypothetical viewer scrolling through their service's sports tier to stop on Golf Channel, they have to yell.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By iacas · Posted

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
