It may be common sense to you, thank goodness, but not for me - I  must refresh my memory once in a while because I get away from Stan's approach. Stan has a lot of technique as in putting, which does not work for me. But the chipping and short pitching tech does wonders. It takes practice on the course, too. It's one thing on a practice green with decent grass; it's another in the rough, on tight lies, going uphill and downhill.

I see so many guys at the range using arms and pulling, and I must keep my mouth shut. lol.

I only meant that it is "good common-sense stuff"  when you watch the video. Taking it to the course and maintaining it is something else. ... I've seen and practiced ideas that were at least similar to this and it helps as long as I stay on it. Then you get away from it and things really go to hell.

Always good to have things like this to refer back to.

Probably too late to help, but I bought some used Cleveland RTX 3 CB wedges from rock bottom golf a few weeks ago. I forgot which rating they were, "excellent" or "like new", one of those and yes, those 2 are different on their site. They showed virtually no wear at, we're $55 each. 

In the bag:
 
Driver: :tmade: '07 Burner Draw 10.5 
3/4 Hybrid: :adams: Idea a205
Irons: :tmade: Burner Plus

Yeah. Since I was just a few days away from my club championship, I didn't want to mess with online. 

I got a Tommy Armor GXT for $80 last week. That gave me a chance to practice with it before hand. It is a hell of an improvement over what I had in the bag prior.

Ended up in a tie for first place (after the other guy didn't want the playoff).

I was hesitant to buy used, especially since I couldn't actually see the clubs, but in the future, as long as I stick in that "almost new" tier, I would definitely buy used again to save money. 

Congrats on the 1st place tie.

Im new to golf and just picked up my first wedge, a new Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 CB Wedge on sale for $69 at my local shop, seemed to be a fare price.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
