Movie Reviews of Phil Mickelson - Secrets of the Short Game
Movie Review: Simple and very effective!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have fluctuated between a 3 and a 6 handicap for the last several years, and have struggled with chipping and medium length putts more than any other aspects of my game. As a relatively low handicap player, I was decent but not great with my short game and made my way off of my ball striking. Previously I have worked on and utilized methods espoused by Stan Utley, Dave Pelz, Leadbetter, Harmon, and many others.
After golfing with a guy that was utilizing some of the techniques Mickelson teaches in this video I decided to order the DVD and give it a try. Simply put, the guy was money. He made fairly tough chip shots off of tight lies look routine, and he was very good inside 15 feet with the putter.
I immediately put Mickelson's chipping and putting stroke techniques into play and saw drastic results. My biggest nemesis - chipping from tight lies - used to give me fits. Many times I would chip twice or more on a single hole, either hitting chips fat or skulling them over the green. The most important rule of wedge play is to make sure at all costs that your next shot is a putt. The closer the putt that you leave yourself the better, but you must never ever leave yourself with another chip shot. Using the hinge and hold technique, it just became much easier and my confidence soared. That, combined with Phil's putting stroke technique has taken pressure off my iron game because I don't feel like I have to hit darts into the green and I can hit more conservative approach shots.
Phil's methods are simple and easy to learn. He basically teaches to move the putter down the target line with a square face that closes on the through stroke to promote "draw spin". His wedge tips are designed to keep the club gliding through the turf / sand as long as possible, and using an aggressive, accelerating swing.
I have posted 7 scores since i started using these techniques, and every one of the 7 rounds will count towards my handicap. That means I'm playing my best golf in a long time, and it's thanks to the techniques from the DVD.
The production quality is good, and the materials well presented. What can I say here - buy it, study it, practice it, put it into play, and watch your scores come down.
