RICK !!! My 90 yr old dad who in his prime was a 2 hdcp , has been having an awful time chipping , I showed him this video , he reluctantly tried it ...and , No shanks , No duffs < No thinned chips , he is smiling again ...Thank you , thank you , thank you !!!
I'm 72 and a 15 handicap. If I could chip, I probably would be a 10. I have worked and worked and worked on my chipping. Looked at a lot of tips. Watched many videos and nothing seems to work. But then I came across this technique I used it today (before even practicing it) and have never chipped so well. Amazing! Incredible! If you're having problems, I would give it a try. Thanks Rick!
Well, confidence only helps a little. Got the new RBZ driver (using Rick's advice) and took it to the range yesterday. Wow. I mean wow. Best day at the range I've ever had. Then today, played 18 with my old man, and played the worst round of golf in my life. My confidence was unbreakable when I walked up to the tee. Until after I hit the ball. 🤦♂️😂
@@theg.c.142 I feel this so hard lol I'll go to range and do all the techniques I see in videos and do just fine, hit the ball great. Then I'll go play and not be able to hit the ball for shit.....
@@RVZL2008 it hurt. Gotlucky and I turned it around the next day. Shot plus 8 after 18. Best round I've had this year. I stopped counting the game before when I hit 15 over. Gotta love playing sporadic lol. Have a good day bro. 👍🏻
My wife and I started using this technique after watching this video over this winter and was simply amazed at how much easier this is, not foolproof but almost. A definite confidence Builder. Thank you Rick.
Rick, I've been golfing for 40 years, your teaching videos are priceless. They have totally changed my way of playing for such a very needed improvement. Thank you!
Rick, I have been using this putting chip technique for years, good advice! Also, I read about & use a chipping method that utilizes my 6i, 8i, & PW. For a level green, 6 iron 1/4 fly distance & then 3/4 run. For the 8 iron, 1/3 fly distance & then 2/3 run. For the PW, 1/2 fly distance & 1/2 run. If the green is sloping away from you, naturally go down a club, i.e. 7i for 6i, 9i for 8i, GW for PW. If the green is going uphill, then reverse the clubs, i.e. 5i for 6i, 7i for 8i, 9i for PW.
Chipping around the green has always been a hit & miss affair with me, so I’ll be giving this technique a go. I’m hoping to knock a few more strokes off the card. Keep these tips coming Rick, much appreciated.
I came back to this video to comment this: I watched it last night because I’m always topping the ball and shooting it over the green or flopping it and barely moving the ball. My wedges were horrendous! This worked brilliantly. I’ve only been golfing for 3 weeks and this helped me so much!
I just recently saw this video and tried to put this technique to use in my game. I have had immediate success and it has reduced my scores from 90+ to the mid 80s in a matter of weeks. I think this is one of your best tips Rick. Thank you very much!
Thank you! I tried this yesterday and thank goodness I now have a fighting chance. So much easier and way more consistent. I think this is also a great way to teach new players. Great video and again thanks.
I had a golf lesson yesterday, to look at exactly this. I"m a relatively new golfer and my pitching is SHOCKING. I could not adapt, hole by hole, to anything that I could find that worked. My teacher asked me to do exactly (100%) what you have just described, and it worked for me. He described it almost like a putting shot. We all need more confidence to enjoy our game. Thanks Rick!
Out of all the videos I've watched on chipping, not one ever taught to keep the heel of the club off the ground. Tried this and at first I was topping everything until I trusted it and purposely tried to hit the ground behind the ball. What a HUGE difference this made! Great tip!
I’ve been struggling like no other from this spot. I watched this video before bed yesterday. Got to the course early. Practiced it for 1/2 hour and I was ready to go. It was amazing. My knees and head use to become jelly. Cheers mate. This was the greatest chipping tip I’ve seen.
This is incredible. I've been playing for 20 years (just a casual weekender) and short chipping has ALWAYS been my kryptonite, as I always either send it flat past the green or duff it. Tried this technique yesterday and completely changed my game! Thank you so much.
This video is a godsend! Thank you Rick, my morning round went so smoothly today! I actually LOOKED FORWARD to short chips! Complete transformation. Thank you!
Thanks Rick. I watched this first thing this morning before my early comp tee time. So many up and downs nailed using this technique. Ended up shooting my best ever score.
I've always found distracting my playing partners then tossing the ball with my hand towards the cup to be my most successful chipping technique. I guess this works too though.
Can't wait to get out and try this. Just got a whole new set of Callaway Mavrik irons and a 50 and 56 Callaway Jaws wedges. Can't tell you how many times I've messed up a chip and sent the ball all the way over the other side of the green
Great video Rick, thank you. I’ve been practicing my chipping in the garden whilst in lockdown. For some reason I was shanking close to half my attempts, getting more and more frustrated. After watching your video I headed back out to the garden today and hit close to 200 chips and didn’t shank a single one!! Thanks so much.
A part of my game have always struggled with, heard of this ‘technique’ before and recently started applying it - absolutely brilliant, and even tried a 7 iron from lite rough too, for a little extra low punch - and it works !!
I just started golfing in March of this year and it’s safe to say I’m completely obsessed You have no idea how much you have helped improved my score! Thank you so much mate. Massive cheers! 🎉
Did some practice, with a Sand Wedge and Pitching Wedge following this tip, today and yes it very much works. In 100 efforts I only duffed twice. Big thankyou.
Hey Rick, I would love to see a video of you chipping around the green where there is more a hard/flat surface and show what is the best technique for a little flop shot or chip and run. Love the videos and your advice and techniques are definitely improved my game but I am sure a lot of us get stuck on these hard surfaces where the ball isn’t always sitting on carpet.. keep up the awesome videos as I am hooked 👍🏻🏌️♂️⛳️
Wow!! I wish I could buy you a drink. This helped me tremendously!! I'm basically self taught and pretty good with my driver. I hit it around 230+ and straight pretty consistently. With my irons I'm decent. I make pretty good contact and hit straight for the most part. But I'm HORRENDOUS with a capital H when it comes to chipping lol. It's the one part of the game no one ever really taught me. It literally looks like I'm playing ping pong with myself because I'm constantly hitting it over the green whenever I chip 😂. This was the first RUclips video that truly helped me learn how to chip. And this method works really good!
I’m a scratch golfer/ give lessons to young amateurs and Highschoolers and I can say my number one advice is never decelerate. Your backswing determines your power and so many people decelerate when they swing and it always messes them up
@@johnmcgahern3946 this is a late reply…. BUT… if you’re using the shoulders for the primary muscle to drive the putter’s stroke chip shot, your club speed shouldn’t slow down after contact compared to your backswing speed. When golfers rely on their wrists, it’s much easier to mess this up because the wrists can break open easier with bad contact with the club and ground.
@@Mr._Chievous think of all the chili dips and skulls it will save you. 5 strokes doesn't seem like much for an average golfer with a handicap in the 20s.
I have had the ch-yips for 2 years, and I'm giving you and Andy Carter combined credit for helping my chipping game. I used the technique in this video last time out on the course and hit 6 of 7 chips well, using an 8 iron instead of my wedges. Thank you!
As soon as I saw this video I thought yes this is gonna be what I would call my putting stroke chip shot this video should help so many people keep up the great work rick
People ask me why I don’t put from the fringe, well local greenskeepers aren’t mowing it super low, it gets spongey and it’s inconsistent. Rather just skip all of it and get on the safe stuff
This helped me so much today at my local pitch and put. I’m fairly new and sometimes I overcompensate to try and get a little air. This stopped me using my bad habits. Just let the club do the work for me. Thank you!
My golfing buddy who used to be a local GC pro showed me this technique a few months ago and it has been all I ever use now for green-side chipping. It really works and gives me more confidence around the greens. Way to go Rick!
Rick, been watching your videos for about a month now and I have went from consistent high 90's to low 80's and continue to improve. You are the man! Keep up the good work!
I love chipping and putting ! They're my favorite part of golf. I think everyone should be better considering you can practice without paying like the range. Just a little practice here and there will help you gain loads of strokes.
thank you Rick ,have been watching you since i started playing which at 69 was a late bloomer,but all your videos have been such a great help. keep up with all the good things you do.
Just waited for the moment you said: “almost like a putting stroke”. 😂 the sentence most used, when you talk about chipping - even more than you would use it when you talk about putting. 😂😉
Newer subscriber but a golfer for a while and this will help me very well!!! I've always had issues with dragging the club face into the ground! No lessons just self taught and watching videos.
Rick, thank you, i was struggling so much with chipping would always duff or hit them fat. This basic tip has transformed how i chip the ball even had a few chip ins because of this!
I have been watching your videos but have not played in a month or so. I finally got out yesterday and tried using some of the things I learned from a few of your videos. Started off sketchy, but what I soon found was I never duffed a chip because of this video, I sliced less and straightened out my drive because of your slicing video where you talked about cocking the wrist slightly and I was also hitting the irons straighter (almost had my first ace!). Thanks Rick, enjoying the videos! Can't wait to learn more and get back out there.
I generally try my best to hit the ground about 3 inches behind the ball so that nothing good can come from any attempt, but to each their own I guess.
I watched this video last night and today I played 18 holes. I must say, this tip made my close game far more consistent. even out to 25ish yds, this tip changed my game. thanks rick!
I’m just not a Facebook guy..... “I would do anything for you Shielsy, but I won’t do that”-Meatloaf Great video Rick! I will try that first thing in the morning
It just keeps getting funnier and funnier. 😂😂 'Thanks for watching. If you enjoy this video, please thumbs-up, like, subscribe, follow, tweet, tik tok, share, forward, call, email, affix bumper-stickers, shout from rooftops, flag down strangers, pray, plead, beg, borrow, steal,...'
Rick.. For reference, i bought my first set of clubs back in December, and IN TOTAL, I’ve played maybe 7 rounds in my life. My game isn’t good, as to be expected, but chipping was all but impossible for me. For whatever reason, things just never clicked for me on how to chip. I watched your video a few days ago, and took your tips to the range. Now, 3 days after watching this, and about 100 chips, i can use my 60° up to about 40 yards, and have about a 15 foot group of 6 balls. Thank you so much for the advice! I can’t wait to take the mechanics and see if i can improve my all around iron game too.
"Putting with a wedge" and "putter instead of wedge" are the two best greenside moves you can make. Everybody defaults to the risky micro pitch or flop shot.
You now can! Carry around Rick right in your pocket! RUclips on the smartphone. You’ll start to take 10 minutes between shots but your score will plummet as well!
I look at it this way: It's part of Rick's job to increase viewership. It would be an irresponsible business model not to... that's how you reach people. It's my job to make him feel bad enough about that business model to send me a Ping G410 with a Tensei Orange 60 shaft. CP2 wrap grip if it's not too much trouble buddy. 😂😂😂
The person reading this may you have an amazing day and may you stay blessed with your lovely family and may your dreams come true.. My dream is to have 20k.. I been struggling to get there..,,,,.. 😊
Wow this works great . I watched this video last night . I played 9 holes today and im hardly ever on the green in regulation . I had 4 one putts for par today after chipping on . This technique is so simple and it really works
Rick! I came back to this video to thank you for this tip. It has helped me shave a fair few shots off my handicap and I even managed to bag a couple of chip in eagles for the first time ever. Thank you!!
I recently got into golf over quarantine (it’s one of the only things that you can play) I’ve been playing twice a week for 4 weeks now. The hardest thing I’ve understood about getting into golf is affordability. Clubs and Playing price. And I think that’s what wrong with golf is that is expensive to get started. And your videos have helped. I’m a baseball player so it’s a hard adjustment. I’ve been watching every single one of your videos on tips and tricks and today I played a 18 hole, and hit a 22 over. Thank you for all the tips it really helps.
Great video Rick thanks. Couldn’t chip the ball but hit it yes but chip it no. Until I watched your video. I went straight outside tried your technique and sure enough it worked. Thanks for the tip.
I've found his method to help me quite a bit before watching this video. What I wasn't doing is emphasizing the placement of the toe of the club. Thanks for that very important tip.
Rick, thank you sir! I tried your technique and it worked, got up and down the two times I used it. Hoping that it will save me some strokes so I can break 80 more often. Appreciate your help, keep up the good work.
This is one of the best techniques to keep from chunking or hitting a flyer around the green. Enjoy your videos. Wish we had a used club place like the one you and Peter Finch used in the UK.
Excellent tip Rick, has helped me no end around the greens. Before I used to hit too much ground trying to get club under the ball. Now I'm chipping a lot closer to the pin I don't even have to take the putter out of the bag👍
What a great tip Rick! Played a decent round this morning with a 74 and had a “duffed” chip that cost me a stroke. Wish I had seen this video before the round. Thanks for the great content!
Took this advice to the range today and it helped me tremendously with my middle chips shots (15-30 yd)... my short chips are above par but applying these techniques next round out
This is by far my favourite golf channel. Rick you are a genuine golf genius and I thank you for helping me with my game. The only thing i have issues with is you make me wanna spend all my money on different clubs and really try to make my game peak. Tough pill to swallow 😂😂😂✌🏽🇨🇦
This video saved me from giving up the game.. My short game was horrible! This works!! you actually can hit it high and far without adding much speed.. I stopped skulling the ball.. Thankyou, thank you
Hey rick just wanted to thank you for helping me I used to be embarrassed golfing with friends now I feel confident in my game and I’m playing the best golf I’ve ever played!
Hi Rick. You might never have read this, but a quick thank you for your video... I've read struggled with my game around the greens. Caused so much frustrating. My game wasn't prefect today but 100% better than it has been. Thanks very much for your content
I've always had an issue with chipping, either hit it too hard and overshoot the green , or not hard enough and fall way short. I tried your technique on Saturday. Very first time I tried it, nice straight shot about 30 yards outs and hit the pin. I thank you for this video!! It is definitely going to improve my game!

Like a pendulum. Your backswing should be equal to your forward swing.

Sam, really. One of the best chipping comments ever. Story of my chipping life. Good one.
Agreed. I like this technique as well. I also find that lifting one's head 2 seconds prior to impact is likewise helpful.

I can’t wait to take the mechanics and see if i can improve my all around iron game too.

Thanks Rick. I have been working on this tip the past several weeks, not always perfect by any means (yet), but not "chunking" them anymore.
This man loves giving away expensive clubs
He should, you, me, & everyone else on you tube have made him rich. Keep watching & liking !! I do !!!
Tried the technique and worked every time. this guy is real good at explaining and making it simple and easy to remember.
Video summary:
Putt with a wedge
"Putting with a wedge" and "putter instead of wedge" are the two best greenside moves you can make. Everybody defaults to the risky micro pitch or flop shot.
Thanks Ricky for making this chipping video! You are a blessing!!
Now if I can just carry you around while I golf... 😂😂
You now can! Carry around Rick right in your pocket! RUclips on the smartphone. You’ll start to take 10 minutes between shots but your score will plummet as well!
Played a round of 9 last week for the first time in over a year. I still remembered this video and this helped massively in my chip shots.
Rick just putt when I’m within 15 feet of the green 😂
Exactly. No need to chip 😂
This works great, I can get it closer with a putter than with a wedge.
I’ll put within 15 yards from the pin 😂
You all putt out of the rough?
If it’s on the fringe or the border of the rough.... yup
It really works. Had my best score ever at my local course using this technique. Thank you
Rick sheils: Always giving away Expensive clubs.
Experior golf: very slim.
That is the most useful technic I have seen. Easy and precise. Thanks.
We call that technique “PUTTING”
Times, I just want to through my club, but you make every video so humble, makes me remember why I love golf in the first place. Thanks Rick.
Who here wishes they could get into the giveaway but can’t because they don’t have Facebook
people still have facebook?
I look at it this way:
It's part of Rick's job to increase viewership. It would be an irresponsible business model not to... that's how you reach people.
It's my job to make him feel bad enough about that business model to send me a Ping G410 with a Tensei Orange 60 shaft.
CP2 wrap grip if it's not too much trouble buddy. 😂😂😂
Excellent tip! Has resulted in some quality up and downs and yesterday a chip in! Many thanks Rick!
Asking people why are they blue:
Stranger: I got money issues
My friend: I got marriage issues
Me: I got chipping issues
This is about the only video that I have seen and actually use and it works so well!!!!!!!
The person reading this may you have an amazing day and may you stay blessed with your lovely family and may your dreams come true..
My dream is to have 20k.. I been struggling to get there..,,,,.. 😊
You’re not gunna get where you want to be by virtue signalling to god 😂😂😂😂 you gotta work
@@dylanzrim1011 my content is also good, just see once and then tel me if i dont work hard?
Im new to golf and this technigue has taken 15 shots of my score. Easy, simple and best of all consistent. Best tip iv ever been told. Ty
You helped me so much yesterday!! I did what you said about standing closer and keeping tie in ground. WORKED PERFECT
Wow this works great . I watched this video last night . I played 9 holes today and im hardly ever on the green in regulation . I had 4 one putts for par today after chipping on . This technique is so simple and it really works
Having watched this on Facebook, I tried this out and, to my surprise, it works brilliantly!!! Thanks Rick. Great tip!!!
Rick! I came back to this video to thank you for this tip. It has helped me shave a fair few shots off my handicap and I even managed to bag a couple of chip in eagles for the first time ever. Thank you!!
Thanks it helped a lot with my short chips
Thanks for sharing this tip, gave it a go in the backyard today and within no time hitting little 5-7m chips more often than not. Now for the course.
I recently got into golf over quarantine (it’s one of the only things that you can play) I’ve been playing twice a week for 4 weeks now. The hardest thing I’ve understood about getting into golf is affordability. Clubs and Playing price. And I think that’s what wrong with golf is that is expensive to get started. And your videos have helped. I’m a baseball player so it’s a hard adjustment. I’ve been watching every single one of your videos on tips and tricks and today I played a 18 hole, and hit a 22 over. Thank you for all the tips it really helps.
Great video Rick thanks. Couldn’t chip the ball but hit it yes but chip it no. Until I watched your video. I went straight outside tried your technique and sure enough it worked. Thanks for the tip.
I've found his method to help me quite a bit before watching this video. What I wasn't doing is emphasizing the placement of the toe of the club. Thanks for that very important tip.
Rick, thank you sir! I tried your technique and it worked, got up and down the two times I used it. Hoping that it will save me some strokes so I can break 80 more often. Appreciate your help, keep up the good work.
This is one of the best techniques to keep from chunking or hitting a flyer around the green. Enjoy your videos. Wish we had a used club place like the one you and Peter Finch used in the UK.
Excellent tip Rick, has helped me no end around the greens. Before I used to hit too much ground trying to get club under the ball. Now I'm chipping a lot closer to the pin I don't even have to take the putter out of the bag👍
It is awesome seeing someone play a beautiful course like this and truly enjoy it. Like a kid at Disneyland for the first time...awsome
Rick thanks to you I am actually starting to get better at golf. Thank you!
What a great tip Rick! Played a decent round this morning with a 74 and had a “duffed” chip that cost me a stroke. Wish I had seen this video before the round. Thanks for the great content!
Took this advice to the range today and it helped me tremendously with my middle chips shots (15-30 yd)... my short chips are above par but applying these techniques next round out
This is by far my favourite golf channel. Rick you are a genuine golf genius and I thank you for helping me with my game. The only thing i have issues with is you make me wanna spend all my money on different clubs and really try to make my game peak. Tough pill to swallow 😂😂😂✌🏽🇨🇦
This video saved me from giving up the game.. My short game was horrible! This works!! you actually can hit it high and far without adding much speed.. I stopped skulling the ball.. Thankyou, thank you
This chipping technique has literally revolutionised my short game. Happy days!!!
Hey rick just wanted to thank you for helping me I used to be embarrassed golfing with friends now I feel confident in my game and I’m playing the best golf I’ve ever played!
Hi Rick. You might never have read this, but a quick thank you for your video... I've read struggled with my game around the greens. Caused so much frustrating. My game wasn't prefect today but 100% better than it has been. Thanks very much for your content
love these types of vids, straight to the point and easy to follow. cheers
Been watching the videos for a while now, went and got a set played my first game this weekend had an amazing time! Cheers Rick
You are not only a great instructor buy you make it really fun. Thx Rick.
Thanks for another tip. I will implement this once spring arrives. Stay safe during Covid and keep those videos coming!
I've always had an issue with chipping, either hit it too hard and overshoot the green , or not hard enough and fall way short. I tried your technique on Saturday. Very first time I tried it, nice straight shot about 30 yards outs and hit the pin. I thank you for this video!! It is definitely going to improve my game!
golfed my first rd today and my main prob was chipping, hence why i'm here lol....what a great vid cannot wait to get back out there knowing this now
