Stan Utley advocate and suggest golfers fail to use the bounce correctly for the short game shots. He uses primarily a 58* 12* bounce for almost all his chips, pitches and bunker shots. Also he talks about hitting a ball off of concrete using his style.
He just came out with a book, The Art of the Short Game, June 2007 Stan Utley.
YUP... That what I thought and then decided to try it.
Well it takes a bit to get use to, at least for me.
Interesting the pitch shots I hit from 15 to 40 yds, I don't think they were more that 3 feet from where they hit. Not much spin and no they aren't going to back up.
This reminds me of the dead hands shot the Ken Venturi used to advocate.
I do think he has a lot of good info on faults and causes in his book. Though I think it is not written well and someone with a dictionary of buzz words seems to have injected them into the text.
I have read it twice now, took notes, tried it. Will I change? That remains to be seen, I will definitely add some of what he has to my tool set but to change wholesale, not sure I am ready for that.

Agree with not changing everything. I like his chipping; my results with it have yielded more precitability and control.
I like hit pitching for "certain situations" (i.e., back pins, wind, etc). BUT, I still need the compression pitches as well for tucked pins.
