Many amateurs are very confused when it comes to being able to hit different short game shots. Many amateurs seen to grind over which shot to attempt in order to get the ball close to the hole. The truth of the matter is that most amateurs just simply do not understand the difference between a chip shot and a pitch shot.
First of all before you struggle with determining whether you should hit a chip shot or a pitch shot, we do need to realize that the only things that matters is that the golf ball needs to end up in the hole or as close to it as possible. Right? So, how do you go about figuring out what type of short game shot to hit?
First you need to look at the lie you have. The lie of the golf ball is the condition that the ball is in which you have to play the next shot from. Is the golf ball in the short grass of the fringe or down in the greenside rough? What you are trying to determine is how much grass is going to between your wedge and the golf ball at impact during the short game shot. The amount of grass will affect how the ball reacts once it hits the putting green.
After you determine your lie, you will now go about picking out a spot for the ball to land. Many teachers will use ratios in discussing short game shots such as if you use an 8 iron you should carry the ball one third of the way to the hole and let it roll the other two thirds. You should first determine if there is a flat spot where you can feasibly land the ball. As simple as this may sound, finding a flat spot to land the golf ball is often overlooked.
When executing a short game shot, it is easier to determine how the ball is going to react once it hits the green if it lands on a flat spot. It is much more difficult to determine what your ball will do if you are hitting into an upslope or landing on a down slope. Obviously, you cannot always find a flat or level spot but if you can, your short game shot will be easier.
Now that you have determined what kind of lie that you have and where you need to land the short game shot, the type of shot has been determined for you. Remember, who cares what we call it as long as it goes in the hole or ends up close.
Some of you do not like that and you are really wanting a definition for each shot. If the ball rolls farther than it is in the air then it will be called a chip shot. If the ball is in the air longer than it is on the ground then it will be called a pitch shot. Even watching the touring professionals on Sunday, many of the announcers interchange the terms and do not always use them correctly.
To improve your short game shots, determine the lie of the golf ball, find a flat landing spot and then determine which club will help you achieve these results.

A short dress for Senior Ball?
In past senior ball pictures i've seen all the girls have been wearing long dresses in a solid color. However, I am short (5'2) so I really prefer a short dress (knee-length) for it.
But is that appropriate for Senior Ball? What do you think of short dresses for Senior ball?
make sure and wear some tall heels, to make you look more leggy.

In the metal music community there are multiple branches of metal music. One of these branches is Death Metal. This is another category of heavy metal music. Inside of death metal there are other subgenres of music. Heavy metal songs with complex song structures, various tempo changes, double bass drumming, deep growling vocals and heavy distorted guitars will give you the basic building block of death metal. This was a start of a new metal music genre.
Death Metal Beginning
Most people believe that death metal came up from thrash metal. The growth of this genre started to inspire people in the mid 1980s. Celtic Frost, Slayer and Kreator were the bands that started death metal. There has been one man that has been concidered to be "the father of death metal" and that mans name is Celtic Frost. Some bands began to rise, like Possessed and Morbid Angel.
Complex Metal Music
Death Metal music usually has 5 people to a band, two guitarists, bass guitarist, drummer and singer. They all have different styles of play. The guitarists have downturned guitars and the drummer has a double bass pedal or kick drums. Fast tempo changing guitars and drums with heavy distortion and bass. The vocals often use growls, snarls and grunts. These different vocal sounds have always been a purpose of death metal's expression of lyrical content.
Death Metal and Luciferianism
This genre of music has been known to have Satanism or antireligious meanings. People have taken the gory and violent style of death metal and assumed that they were part of Satanism worship. Death metal songs are about various topics in life, which have nothing to do with the devil. They may wright about a life experience they had.

Technical death metal has been known to be a break off of progressive rock and jazz / classical music. Bands that fall into this genre are Opeth, Cryptosy and Edge of Sanity.
Doom Death

what is it called when the metal of a pistol is black?
there has to be some term to describe that color or style other thank "black metal."
thanks for the answers so far. but now i have another question. what was more popular way to finish revolvers in the 1920's, blueing or parkerizing? would well used blue pistol ever end up looking flat black?
Blued steel was status quo for the 20's. Parkerizing (Phosphating) was around then, but didn't really take off until during WW2 when it was used for all military weapons. I did own a British revolver from that time period and it was parkerized, but was a military pistol.
Let us not forget that "nickel" finishing was also an accepted practice with revolvers.

who would win a fight between string fellow hawk in airwolf and maverick in his top gun jet?
Well, for one thing the Airwolf was written as a supersonic helicopter. Honestly, that's hilarious. A supersonic helicopter is impossible. However, if we say hypothetically that Airwolf did actually exist, the F-14 would still likely outclass it. The F-14 was typically equipped with four AIM-54 Phoenix, two AIM-7M Sparrow, and two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles as well as a 20mm M-61 Vulcan cannon. The AIM-53 had a maximum range in excess of 100 miles and was capable of multiple launch, the AIM-7 had a maximum range of 45 miles, and the AIM-9 has a range of .6 to 11 miles. This allowed the F-14 to continuously engage enemy aircraft from very long range all the way into close dogfighting. Given this capabilty, and the fact that Airwolf was only capable of short range combat, it's likely that Maverick and his RIO would have won before either aircrew laid eyes on each other. Airwolf would have a further problem with the fact that the large spinning rotors and various surface on a helicopter give a very large radar return, making it easier for a radar guided air to air missile to track it, even at low altitudes. Airwolf was pretty cool, but the F-14 was made solely to destroy anything within a hundred nautical miles of it. That's pretty hard to combat.
