- How to use the Rule of 12 with Paul Runyan's technique to your advantage when chipping from just off the green. With some practice, you will start to read chips like putts and give yourself more tap-ins.
I tried this system today and my buddies were looking at me like what the hell I was doing. I saved two pars and a good boggie. This is a friggin game changer.
Rule of 12 only applies to irons with the old-standard lofts. I find, for example, that the 2:1 ratio works if my pitching wedge has 48 degrees of loft. Today's pitching wedges are 43 degrees, and Titleist has a pitching wedge at 38 degrees. Assuming the sand wedge has 56 degrees, the 1:1 is correct, but if your pitching wedge has 43 degrees it will have a 3:1 ratio.
Love this. Was the first video I saw, years ago that helped me understand his method. Someone mentioned that your formula is wrong but I just rewatched Runyan's video and his carry/ roll chart mirrors this. 👍
This is the best explanation of this method I could find! Thank you!
Kristine Moran thanks for the nice comment! It is a cool method. Happy chipping!
I love this explanation!!!! You cleared my confusion. Thank you Mr.
teddy thodo Happy it helped. Have a great day!
Ive been trying to see the grip and understand this method and finally yours clicked. Thanks. You're the 1st 1 to demonstrate. I kept messing up the roll number. Didn't know it was the number of steps from the landing part.
4PITTS1BURGH2 cool glad it helped clarify the method. With exceptionally strong lofted irons, some golfers have moved to the rule of 13. Something to practice
Great explanation.
Here's a simple way. A SW rolls out on a 1:1 ratio. PW 2:`1, 9I 3:1, 8I 4:1` Adjust for uphill. This is better than the "12" idea because if the spot, where you need to hit the ball, puts you on a side hill on the green you will need to fly over it. Hence, the 1:1 SW comes into play because you are having to toss the ball farther than you might want to
Correct, when Runyan developed system the SW 55 deg was most lofted, and PW were 50 deg. And gap wedges were not even thought of.
So practice your own distance/roll.
Excellent explanation! Thanks!
Juan. C Canett thanks for watching!!
When you are between clubs you can always hit the stronger club a bit short of the mark or the shorter of the clubs a bit past the mark.
From everything I have read the heel of the club is off the ground and you hit the ball with the toe of the club.
The Rule of 12 is a great concept, but with new lower lofted irons and variations in green speeds, the club ratios are going to vary a lot between people. I use the 1, 3, and 7 method, and I know exactly what clubs give me 1:1, 1:3, and 1:7 air-to-roll ratios on a level 9.5 stimp green. I find the closest level landing spot on the green between me and the hole for my landing zone. If that spot is halfway between me and the hole, it's a 1:1 ratio; if the spot is one quarter of the way, it's a 1:3 ratio; if the spot is one eighth of the way, it's a 1:7 ratio. If it's level, I hit my normal 1, 3, or 7 ratio club. Moderately uphill or downhill, I go one club stronger or weaker; severally uphill or downhill, 2-3 clubs stronger or weaker.
I've been doing this for years and it works great, with one proviso. Also consider the green speed. Many muni courses like where I play have slower greens. For where I play, I use a rule of 11. Using 12 seems to leave everything a bit short. So before you use this on the course, spend some time on the practice green to figure out whether you should use 12, 11 or even 10 as your starting point.
Great idea
u must be scooping.
Very well explained
Thank you

Grip works on putting . It works on fast greens. Also said to use a square stance
I use same grip chipping and putter. Paces from where your chipping at to hole or paces from hole back to chipping. Then use the club that you can land on the green then roll out. You don't have to count all those paces out. Let's say 9 paces, if a 9 iron rolls 1 to 3 , and you can safely get it on the green, use it. If a 8, 7, 6 iron can't get to green don't use to prevent fringe enterferring. So, pitching wedge with 1 to 2 roll could be use, 9 paces = 4 1/2 paces. Just my opinion, works for.. Still a great video tho.
Whoops ......pitching wedge 1 to 2 the 9 paces is 3 paces land 6 paces roll. Try to change it but couldnt....
Make it easy. Land the ball within 3 feet of the edge of the green and let it roll to the hole. Takes 15-20 minutes chipping to different holes from the same spot to determine what club to use. No math!
rono8275 I agree! Feel is important to develop. Makes the process even more precise
12 - (roll/carry) = iron value.
WRONG. Units.
To mathy for my liking, just put in some practice time and you can judge what carry and roll out is best by experience not maths.
doesn't seem too difficult a math to relay on instinct!
Why would he use a open stance. If your chipping like your putting, I guess it's OK...
Two different explanations
3-12=-9, 12-3=9
Shouldn't it depend on terrain, grass, speed of green, trajectory, etc . Short game is art, not math.
Thomas Slagle you are absolutely right, the rule of 12 gives you a first guess on which club to use on a fairly flat, average green speed chip shot. More artistry is required to go up or down a club based on severe undulations/fast or slow greens. I think the best thing about this technique is learning to commit to a club and landing spot on generic chip shots.
short game is about commitment and common sense.
Another video teaching the WRONG formula for Paul Runyan's rule of 12. The CORRECT formula, and the one that is taught by PGA teaching pros, IS Total distance divided by landing distance and subtract that from 12. So in your first example it should be 6/2=3. 12-3=9 iron. Your 2nd example should be 6/3=2. 12-2=pw. 3rd example should be 6/1=6. 12-6= 6iron. So while your formula is close, it is NOT accurate and definitely NOT the formula that Paul Runyan came up with.
Wow! How useless is that? Don*t you want to waste even more time at the green? Make the game even slower? More roll, less loft. less roll, more loft. keep your wrists neutral. Perhaps use your putting style grip, but thats it. And the chips you show are terribly bad. Normally I don't comment but that was needed to say.
Frank Regel you’re a towel

@@1LStudios LMAO hell yes, subscribed
Leonard Julius thanks Leonard where u from?
@@HeadStocks No, thats an insult that shows the speakers mild annoyance that they are losing an arguement. But doesn't have any great impact on the recipient.
Only use a pitching wedge. Close the face for more distance, open the face for less distance. Then it's feel. Don't need painting by numbers golf.
