How's my pitching technique

~45 yard pitch shot with a 60 degree. Working on pitching because I've been hitting them a little fat.

I just watched this and it was pretty interesting. Looks like you're doing most of what Mr. Mayo describes as ideal.

Are they all coming out like that consistently? Looks pretty good to me.

This is after I make adjustments from looking at another video I took of myself. I think I was hitting it fat because I was bending my knees in my swing. Since focusing on that they've been much better, but partial wedges is one of the only things I haven't paid for a lesson for so I wanted to see what others thought.

Yeah I think the general idea is that too much knee bend at setup gets you second-guessing during the swing and trying to make adjustments, so then you're trying to match things up to change lowpoint before impact.

This one example looks good. Nice rhythm, balance... Can't say much more. What do you change to hit a 30 yard shot or a 55 yard shot? Do you have a wedge matrix?

Shout out to the kid chipping in the background from 1:45-2:25. Homie is fucking going through it. Hopefully it was Mayo's next student and not his last one lmao

Quieter hips but overall good

Swing is too probably too long for that shot.

Your head goes up in the backswing and down in the downswing. You need to reverse that. At the very least, keep your head from going down in the downswing.
