According to Dave Pelz, who is at least researched based but doesn't understand how the wrists work, the eight most common shots are a 10 yard chip from the fringe/fairway, 15-yard pitch from the rough, 20-yard pitch from the rough, a 15-yard lob shot, 30 and 50-yard pitch shots and 8 and 15-yard bunker shot.
This was compiled after watching a year's worth of Tour events.
PM me and I'll send you my more info.

This is actually Aaron Knoll. Just wanted to say thanks for all of your help in that lesson and your other advice. In 7 tournaments this year, i ended up with 4 wins, and 3 seconds. Now getting ready for the playoffs the next 2 mondays. What other information do you have?
Master the bread and butter TGM pitch shot with a 52 degree wedge (between pitch and sand wedge). It's a mid-trajectory, with mid-high spin type of shot. You can use it from 20-60, in the rough, out the bunker, almost anywhere. And all the fancy stuff (e.g. lob shot, opening clubface, etc.) will be a piece of cake once you've mastered this.

Is the "bread and butter TGM pitch" and aquired motion type action swinging to right arm parallel to ground on the backswing to both arms straight on the follow through?

Yes it is.
Once you master that, you can make it shorter/longer is easy.

Hey Tongzilla,
Can you explain this a little more? Ive been reading this site for a little while, but am still very much so a beginner.
From stage one- two feet back and through with a LW, SW, GW, PW and 9I...5I and vary the ball position from your back shoudler, sternum and lead shoulder.
Couple other hints, aim the clubshaft at your lead shoulder/hinge and make one-lever motions. This will keep you busy for a while!
Keep up the great play Mr. Knoll! Remember to see it before you hit it!

i think what he is trying to tell you that by using a wedge from this distance you will learn rythym and the key ingredient lag pressure.learning lag pressure makes all these little feely touchy shots so much easier. here is a good drill to learn lag pressure. take your wedge and hit your full shot and with the next ball try and hit it 5 yards shorter. keep doing this until the last ball you hit is 10 feet in front of you. this is a great drill and once you can-do this with a wedge try a different club. eventually you will be able to do this with any club in the bag. i practice this all the time, great for developing feel through mechanics.
