60-65% of your shots happen inside 100 yards. 80% of strokes lost to par happen there too. This course covers the physics, the debate, and the data — giving you a complete framework for every shot around the green.
Physics-based understanding of every shot inside 100 yards — not just swing tips, but the data and reasoning behind why each technique works.
How angle of attack, dynamic loft, and spin loft control every short game shot — explained simply and visually
The steep vs. shallow debate: McLauchlin's shallow bounce method vs. Mayo's forward low point approach
Dave Pelz's clock system for distance wedges — how 4 wedges and 3 positions give you 12 reliable distances
The exact differences between a distance wedge, pitch, chip, and bump-and-run — and when to use each one
Bunker play demystified — the only shot without direct ball-to-club contact, explained with the physics
Pelz's 15 building blocks of putting — the 7 mechanical fundamentals every great putter shares
How to use your own launch monitor or Sportsbox 3D data to track improvement in your short game
How to design a short game practice program using deliberate practice and game-based drills with consequences
From the physics foundation to putting — every shot inside 100 yards covered with video, data context, and a drill sheet to take to the practice green.
Module 3 covers the most important debate in modern short game instruction — and the one most courses ignore entirely. Kyle teaches both approaches in his lessons and uses launch monitor data to help students find which one fits their game.
50/50 weight, neutral shaft, body rotation drives the shot. Engage the bounce, prevent digging. Best for players who chunk and skull around the green.
Steep AOA creates a forward low point for predictable contact. Optimizes spin loft. The method that transformed Viktor Hovland's short game.
Short, focused videos covering every shot inside 100 yards — including side-by-side comparisons of steep and shallow technique.
One per module. Print and bring to the practice green. Includes the Pelz clock distance calibration chart for your own wedges.
Guidance on how to use launch monitor data and Sportsbox 3D to measure your AOA, spin loft, and low point over time.

No — the course is valuable without one. But if you have access to a launch monitor (TrackMan, Foresight, Rapsodo) or the Sportsbox 3D app, Module 9 shows you how to use that data to track your short game improvement over time.
Neither is universally better — they produce different results depending on the lie, the player's tendencies, and the shot required. Kyle teaches both because his students play both, and understanding the trade-offs is what lets you make the right choice on the course.
Yes. The Pelz clock system is covered in Module 4, but Modules 2, 3, 5, and 6 add significant depth around the physics (spin loft, AOA, dynamic loft) and the McLauchlin/Mayo debate that go beyond what's in Pelz's books.
Most are 6–10 minutes. Technique videos include both explanation and demonstration. You can watch a module before a practice session and take the drill sheet out with you.
This course is self-paced without individual feedback. For personalized swing reviews, check out the apply for Online Lessons — the same annotation and data framework applies to short game submissions.
