    Absolutely brilliant video. I am a low handicap golfer, but have always struggled with chipping. Watched this and realised that I was killing my game around the greens with the hands forward and downward strike you mention. Have put these changes into play the last few rounds and cannot believe the difference. Worth 2 or 3 shots a round to me this! Now my chipping may finally match the rest of my game and help my mission to reach scratch! Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!

      @@USGOLFTVshow Question though. Can you just keep the clubface square and still get effective forgiveness from the bounce on chips? Or do you suggest opening the face to expose more bounce?

    • @USGOLFTVshow
      @USGOLFTVshow  4 года назад

      Michael Ricciardelli keeping the face square works well. Our suggestion is to open the face up slightly at address and keep it the same throughout the motion...

      Watch the Lee Trevino video about chipping , he talks about the handle (butt) of the club should always be ahead of the club at impact, not saying this lesson is wrong just watch his video..He talks about drinking a case of Coors light when winning a tournament. Thats the wright video.

    Great video, I have been afflicted with all 3 of those chipping diseases as well as pulling the club head to far to the inside. This really sorted me back out and now a lot more confident to hit these shots with a variety of wedges around the green. Now using these simple tips as checkpoints in my pre-shot setup routine. Feel like it will definitely help reduce my handicap this season so thanks a million!!!

I'd always played the ball back in stance in an effort to hit down on the ball. For the first time I can remember, I wasn't afraid of having to chip, usually I'd be putting wherever possible, even through rough!

    That short chip shot you said to move your hands back as you take the clubhead back ... is actually like a putting stroke , and works well for me . 👍 longer pitch shot are no different as long as you use the bounce , and follow through at the target. It's simple, easy to repeat and effective 👌

I just played a round of golf where I gave up probably 10-12 strokes due to stinky chipping- doing all the things you just instructed us golfers not to do(i.e. "handle forward; delofting the club! negating the "bounce", etc.! SO FRUSTRATING!) Now, I can't wait to get out on the course next week and put this lesson into place in my game. Thanks again!

Never knew about bounce so that's good to learn. I'm glad I watched this so if anybody tells me otherwise I can ignore the bad advice. Now time to work on the driving aspect!

  • @Stogie2112

      A bare lie is difficult . A soft wet lie will not give you club bounce !

    Todd, thank you for a most enlightening lesson. I have always played the ball way back in my stance with the club leaning forward, and now I know why my wedge has the loft of a 4 iron! I tried your advice on all my iron shots yesterday, not just chips, and got an immediate improvement in loft and direction. I hit a 9 iron from 115 out that actually went straight up in the air and landed 8' from the pin, then in for a birdie. What a game-changer!! Thanks again!

    @joeylee7930 4 года назад

    Another well deserved thank-you! I have struggled with chipping for years, and had been progressively placing the ball back further in my stance. I had even switched to using my 56 degree wedge a couple of years ago to unconciously compensate for that ball placement. Oh my, what a difference following your advice. I'm back to using my 52 degree wedge for chipping, stopped chunking it, major improvement in accuracy, regained my confidence, and just had my best round in years. This teaching video has been a game changer for me - and the proof is in the results.

    This is the best chipping instruction I have ever had. All of the mistakes I made were related to those 3 mistakes that person after person has given me. I didn’t even have a chance to practice this technique before I played the next day. I used all three instruction points during that game and never missed a chip. Everything went up onto the green. I thought I would never figure out chipping. It was killing my game. I feel so great since I learned to chip I want to play all of the tip and feel confident that I will never chip again and see the ball got 2 feet in front of me! Thank you so much!!!

    Totally agree with everything you are teaching. I have also improved by using this and Paul Runyans technique of basically using a putting grip and stroke and keeping the ball as low as possible running up to the hole. I now use 4 and 5 irons to chip a lot around the greens with a putting stroke and improved my consistency and scores accordingly. Thanks

    I'm glad you could confirm my own findings. I hit a lot of balls in a day, many areas of the bag too. Realizing that I use less but shorten my stance, causes smooth hits, and allowing me to really feel how much I need to put in... its trusting oneself. I think that is where most people lose themselves in anger, because they don't try a bunch of different ways. Especially ones that feel natural.

    Good video. I have subscribed and will take a look at some of your others. Last year I took some lessons from a pro here in Las Vegas and he covered chipping in one of them. He told me he was going to tell me his secrets of chipping and taught me to move the ball back to the right toe and to put my hands in front of my left knee. With this method a sand wedge had the loft of a seven iron. I think your method will be a little easier for me to use. It's so much more natural. On another note, on chipping, and I'll look for your video on that part of the game, I was taught ever so many years ago to get the ball on the ground and rolling towards the hole as quickly as possible. Now I see some professionals, especially the ladies, carry the ball almost to the hole with a shot that lands softly and has little roll. But I guess it's a golfer's personal preference. Take care.

    I have been a trainer in other fields, not golf. I have always had a saying which is: "Training that does no produce a change is about as good as a parachute that works on the 2nd bounce. For me, a regular joe amateur golfer, this is the best chip shot guidance I have ever seen/heard. I watched the video, went out in the back yard and practiced the methods and techniques taught. I have played twice since then and both times reduced my score by about 8 to 10 strokes. Without question, my shots around the green were more controlled, more accurate, and closer to the cup than in the past. I know it is likely I will still chunk from time-to-time. But, I truly believe this skill set will remain overall a game changer for me. Thank you so much for making golf more fun for me & of course, lower scores. Best Regards.

      I agree 100%. I've been studying the golf swing my entire teen & adult life, 20+ years and this is the best instruction on this topic that I've ever come acrossed. The way explains bounce and delofting is brilliant. I know a lot of the tips that come from tour Players, too often approach the subject as if their audience has the luxury of practicing and hitting hundreds of shots a day. So they often teach the hands forward/delofting method. He's the first instructor I've seen explaine how that gives less room for error, and how and why 99% of us should use bounce and loft to our advantage! It's succinct and simple, yet brilliant!

    Thanks for this video. I do have one question. I thought I heard you say regarding ball position to keep the ball in the middle of your stance - sternum. You also added that the ball could be slightly in front and then another time you said the ball could be slightly in back of center. If I heard this correctly, would you please clarify this ? Thanks, Jim

    • @USGOLFTVshow
      @USGOLFTVshow  4 года назад +2

      Jim San Marco you bet, the ball position can change slightly based on the shot you want to hit and the lie, generally we like to see it in the center of the stance with the feet slightly open. Great question! 👊

      Pepe, your comment about the type of turf is a good one. Different turf conditions will make bounce your enemy or your friend depending on the situation.

    • @speakeezie
      @speakeezie 7 лет назад +1

      Got to disagree there. Hard to middling ground is just when you can use the bounce but obviously one has to hit the turf a fraction before the ball with the descending stroke. Wet or soggy conditions are trickier because the club head doesn't bounce. It digs into the turf. In those conditions a different technique may be necessary!

Chirs is absolutely right - the video and instruction are great, the tips are correct.
