  1. Hi Mark – great video as usual. Titleist has so many options for their
    wedges now, it is confusing. Which bounce / grind would be the closest to
    the one you used in this video. THANKS!

  2. Finally someone explained how to solve balls going off the the right! Golf
    pros encourage me to just aim left to compensate for open face, but that
    really messed with my consistency. 

  3. Watched this vid last night.
    Practiced 100 of these shots over the practice bunker this morning ,using
    this technique.Only put 5 into the sand. Never will I fear the soft flop
    again!! Thanks.

  4. what happens if your ball is sitting on a tight lie–not a lot of grass? Is
    this shot still playable? What do you play if you need to loft it over a
    tree/bunker/water?

  5. I like your videos, and enjoy listening to what you had to say, but the
    shot you was playing was more of a soft chip than a lob shot, but would
    love to hear more of what you think about bounce. I personally prefer low
    bounce especially in firmer conditions. Is the bounce for standards of a
    player? Low bounce for good players, high bounce for average/beginner
    players? I can only think of 1 shot where i would like the bounce and thats
    in soft thick sand.

  6. Hey Mark, I also play Mizunos and switched from Titleist wedges to the R-12
    this season. My 60-degree wedge is the best club in my bag. I play a lot of
    flop shots but always aimed left when opening the face to let the toe lie
    on the ground. After watching your video I’ll try aiming straight (which I
    would prefer) and dropping the hands lower to see if that works for me.
    Thanks so much for your wonderful videos. I’ve learned an incredible amount
    about my swing by watching your videos.

  7. Great video! Mark could you do a video about pre shot routines and any tips
    on having a consistent good quick routine please ?

  8. You’re the best mark! I’ve improved 10 strokes already since watching your
    videos! I’m basically a beginner as I only have one season under my belt, I
    started this year at a 115 and am down to a 105. Thanks a lot!

  9. how much wrist should you be using during chip shots??? I am so confused, I
    thought i was doing it right, then I went to my golf pro and he said he
    prefers no wrist at all. Then while im watching the pga championship I see
    guys using wrist and I am so confused!!! HELP

  10. dropping the hands, giving me more accuracy and a hole in one. Thanks for
    providing the missing piece to my lob shot, Callum

  11. Fantastic description as to how to utilize a lob wedge. You mentioned ‘get
    the right bounce for your game’. Can you go a bit more into that? What
    bounce for what type of player? Thanks

  12. Just took this lesson to the course yesterday and it helped tremendously. I
    was able to play the shorter up-and-down shots better than I’ve ever been
    able to and stop the ball. Thanks for posting this!

  13. Bensta: I don’t know if Mark reviewed the Mizuno R-12 wedges or not, but as
    a testimonial, I played the 52, 56 and 60-degree wedges this season. The
    R-12s are the most consistent wedges I’ve ever played. They are forged,
    like the MP-32 irons, and if you like that smooth buttery feel around the
    green, you’ll love these clubs.
