Do you have the book? What did he say about hitting behind it?
I have hit some shots like that intentionally when the ball is sitting crappy. You can hit some soft shots that way. Interested to hear what he has to say. He was the flavor of the month not long ago.
I saw him playing at the Masters back in the 90's . . . he was still sportin' a mullet . . . lookin suuuhwheat.

He says on pitch shots, he likes to use the bounce of the club to hit turf first, then the ball (shaft should be vertical or very close to it at impact). He does not like spin on pitch shots, as its less predictable than height + roll.
Mid ball position, 70% weight left (this encourages the downward angle of attack and provides a consistant low point, at which the ball should be placed just in front of that low point), and you pivot around that left post (leg), your arms go inside on the backswing and around you on the forward swing (think, sweep). Soft elbows allow for the swinging from inside, to square, to inside. Angled hinging.
He also says he hits (oops) his chips with his pivot, swinging around his left post.
His overall big key is turning around your spine, and having a consistent low point from which to sweep the ball, chipping or pitching, towards the target without much spin. No Lee Trevino divots from this guy.
I am on the second read of his book. Have to say his pictures don't match all the word description.
I think reading the faults and causes are of value, not that you need to adopt his technique but he cover a wide variety of faults golfers have with chips, pitches and bunker play.
His is big on clubface control but his descriptions IMO don't track with the pictures all the time.
