  1. Hi Mark, I’ve just bought a 60 degree with a bounce of 14.. So quite high.
    What do I have to bear in mind with this wedge? And what do I have to do
    different than using a wedge with a lower bounce?
    Thanks for your always helpful videos!
    

  2. Is it wise to use this method with very hard dried out surfaces.. I always
    assumed the bounce works better with some soft grass to slide through?

  3. Are you serious? Just have a look at your other instructional video on
    chipping: youtube.com/watch?v=Hz5sJeHrPMY&NR=1&feature=fvwp So which is it?
    Have you really thought about this or is it more about yourtube hits? Your
    information is completely conflicting.

  4. Will have to try this method. I have been having the pro menu of “sticking”
    the club head, pw. Will try up to my 58* and use your technique. Thanks for
    the tip.

  5. This is great for tight lies. It works great when i practice indoors on
    carpet. But once i went outside and hit out of rough it doesnt work so
    well, club gets caught up in the grass. Can you post a video or gimme a tip
    on using this technique when in the rough. Tks again and great instruction.

  6. Wedges often don’t require a full, hard shot so stock ‘Wedge Flex’ will be
    ideal in terms of flex. The only thing that would be worth thinking about
    is the weight of the shaft as a personal preference and/or the feel of the
    same shaft throughout the set. I play DG S300’s in my MP-59’s but am happy
    with Wedge Flex in my R12’s (GREAT wedge!) Also DG Spinner shafts
    apparently have moisture issues (the insert rots) in our climate which is
    why they’re not provided as stock.

  7. I use this technique a lot unless I want to put massive spin on the ball in
    which case I do use more of a standard shot to take a divot and put more
    spin on the ball but this is something everyone needs to use when chipping
    and I need to use it more even in the bad lies, I use Mizuno R12 Wedges and
    they are superb, I thought about the T-11s but the R12s are better for
    flopping and higher shots (not so much full distance shots but I manage)
    and they rely on the bounce, great tip Mark thanks!

  8. Hi Mark, love your golf instruction and club analysis videos! My Golftec
    instructor showed me this chipping technique using the bounce last week.
    The only thing he added was to have a very steep down swing(not sweeping)
    and to “thump” the ground like a bunker shot. It takes some practice, but
    once I got it, it’s a great shot to have.
