The editorial team at Golf Today strives to provide readers with captivating content that celebrates the rich heritage and exciting developments in the world of golf. He does teach some things differently eg he talks about distance wedges as a variation on one of his finesse swing shots whereas Sieckman talks about them as a modified version of a full power swing shot. I'm not an expert, but from reading the book and following him for a while on Instagram, I don't think he would have an issue with using loft with what you described. Dan has also coached Charley Hull on her Short Game since she turned professional aged 16 reaching a World Ranking of 15 and winning the LPGA Tour Championship.

In 2022 I suffered from "Lob Wedge Addiction" using my 58* wedge 43% of the time (average proximity and up/down 20' and 24%, respectively) whereas it turned out that I was much more effective with a chipper, putter or hybrid in terms of proximity and up/down %. In March 2023 he became an Advanced Fellow of the PGA and recognised by Golf Monthly as one of the Top-50 Coaches in the U.Crucially, you will also learn what shot to play where, a proven short game routine and how to 'read the lie' and select the right club and shot choice. Dan has a great technical knowledge of all areas of the game but most importantly can communicate this very simply, ensuring total clarity and a clear road map so you can improve.

Maybe 2 are bunkers and of the remaining 8, maybe only 1 will be from a fairway or green fringe where I can take something like a gap wedge and play a release 1. Join a community of likeminded golfers and a culture of learning which as seen hundreds of shots fall from Academy members handicap over the last year!You might get better results chipping cross handed or as I witnessed someone do on Monday in a tournament chipping one handed. Combining better technique and a better way of thinking will improve your ability to perform on the golf course.

Sir Clive Woodward“Dan taught me a completely new way to chip and pitch” Charley Hull“I have no doubt this book will lower your scores. Host of the UK’s most attended short game school, Daniel Grieve has released an all-encompassing new book, designed to simplify the short game and create clarity of thought around the greens.The concept is that if your wedge has 10* of bounce and you have 5* of shaft lean, there is still 5* of bounce to work with, whereas if you have 13* of shaft lean, bounce is now negative 3*. Also, perhaps it depends on the courses you play somewhat but I find that more often than not, I appreciate having that extra loft.
