- Chipping distance control 2 methods. One of the common problems I see a lot of golfers make is poor control of distance when they hit chip shots. In this video golf tip Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor shows you two methods you can use to hit chip shots. If you can get your ball to finish closer to the hole with your chips you have a better chance of getting your ball in the hole with your next shot thereby lowering your golf score. I recommend trying both of these methods in practice and then using that practice to help you determine which method is best for you.

My name is Brian Fitzgerald - I'm an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at two venues. The Morack Public GC in Vermont South and the Lang Lang GC in beautiful South Gippsland (An hour and a quarter from Melbourne) where there are lot's of Kangaroos.
FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don't feel that old.
Why do you make videos for RUclips? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.
Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.
So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.
What do you film with? - I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I'm using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.
What do you edit with? - About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere - prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio
Do you make money off RUclips? - Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - Here's my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : ko-fi.com/theg...
Thanks for watching!
Brian
Fitzy, this is the best presentation of why method number one is an efficient way to tackle our chipping challenges. Thank you!
Wow, thank you Joseph!
I am glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it.
I had fun making it and I know it will help most golfers if they get to watch it.
I appreciate your feedback.
Brian
Thanks Brian - that makes sense to me. Method 1 is my preferred way. I like the idea of choosing a landing spot and letting the club get the required distance. I'll keep working on it - lots of work is needed!
That's the strategy Steve.
Once you identify your landing area and choose the club just look your thoughts on to the landing area.
You will chip the ball closer to the hole.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Another good one, Brian. I get to try this some because I have a tee time tomorrow! First for the year. Last year I learned to try the seven and others rather than reaching for the pitching wedge automatically. So tomorrow I’ll be looking for chances to use the seven and others. Thanks for posting.
That is exciting Bob.
Enjoy your round and the chance to discover.
I have not chalked up my first round for the year yet either.
I will soon though.
Brian
thanks Brian, playing Tuesday and will test the lesson
I look forward to hearing all about it Jesse.
I did see some roos last Friday but by the time I grabbed the camera they had hopped away.
Brian
Rule of 12 for the first method
That is take the iron number from 12 to give you the distance of roll relative to the original chip length
5 iron 7 times
6 iron 6 times
7 iron 5 times
8 iron 4 times
9 iron 3 times
PW 2 times
SW 1 time
Works for me and all relative to your original chip length!
Well there you go.
I have never heard of that method before.
It makes sense.
Thanks for sharing.
Brian
That’s a new one for me! I’ll have to test it.
@@bobadkins7377 I look forward to hearing how it went Bob.
Thanks Brian that is a good presentation. Getting the run distance correct is the trick! And of course up hill and down hill shots make it hard also, I will try your method one. The course where I play has a lot of cruel uneven ground around the greens not many flattish lies up hill and down hill greens so I use my 8 iron most of the time to chip and run. I will also look at the 12 times method mentioned in comments that may work for me also with calculating my landing spot. It is an ongoing challenge! Cheers Sue
My pleasure Susan.
It is an ongoing challenge. It sounds like your course has some challenges so you might not need to use as many clubs as I did in this video. Just think of 10 feet or 3 m between each of your chipping clubs and you will be fine.
You could use your PW, 8 iron and 6 iron and you will find that will be enough.
Let me know how it goes.
Brian
Excellent comparison, love it!
I use my 52 degree for anything around the green up to say 6m away from the flag, adapting the swing to the distance much like we do with the putter.
From further out I use less lofted clubs and stick with the same ‚stock‘ swing for the chip. Mainly because swinging harder adds too much risk for me on my 52 wedge chip shot.
You have a very good plan there.
I am glad you enjoyed my video.
Really interesting. Definitely method one when it's possible, though probably a bit of a mix. I find it helps to do a chipping warm up to gauge how the balls rolling on the day, prefer a dry day when I don't have to flight it so far and can land short of green if needed. Use the putting "tick tock" method in my head for judging distance to landing spot. Thanks Brian
You are doing it right Adi.
It should be apart of everyone’s warm up and I’m no a big fan of the tick tock for chipping.
No B wonder your scoring lower.
Brian
Like the first method and sharing the 10 foot gaps. First chip rolled X. How far did each successive one go-ie. 2X, 3X?
It is a pretty simple method. You just need to be good at landing the ball on the spot.
Brian
Excellent examples of two methods for chipping Brian! I probably use both methods, The first for chips of the length you were displaying using a 7, 8, 9 iron and a landing area of 3 feet. The second method is more for up close pins where I am off the green ten yards or so then I would use a sand wedge or gap wedge.
Thankyou John for your feedback. I think you are right there is a time and a place for both. The important thing is to realise which is best for which circumstance. It sounds like you have done your research (practice) and have worked all of that out.
Thanks for watching.
Brian.
Thank you Brian. That a nice one on explaining both methods in clipping close to the green (clip n run). I am only using one club for my clipping, with different length of back swing to clip and get my ball to roll & stop at the distance of 10m, 20m, 30m and 40m (more like pitching for this 40m n above). I do practice allot, at least twice in a week just in clipping, putting n bunker. I realized I can score much better when I am sharp at this areas. However, golf is such an difficult game. The moment I am lazy in practicing, I lost the feeling and confidence and my games suffered immediately :( I think it might be the right time for me to use the 2nd method as per your instruction by using different of clubs, with the same length of backswing and let the ball roll in different distance. It should be much more easily and consistent too.
Well done on focusing your attention to the short game Steve. You have discovered the area that will make your scores more consistent which is what everyone wants but they think its their golf swing.
I think you will find the first option even better for you as it is easier. It might also give you the spark you need to get back to your good practice habit.
I would love to know how it goes for you.
Brian
Will try method one tomorrow.
Thanks for watching Grant.
Just keep a focus on your landing area after you have chosen the club.
The flag stick can be a distraction.
I would love to hear how it goes.
Brian
First Method - Little Poison's method 🙂
Love your videos Brian
Great to hear Dennis.
It is certainly the easiest for most people.
I am glad you are enjoying my content.
Brian
Option 1 using the Paul Runyan rule of 12 method is the best way to turn an average chipper into a very good one , im just glad no one else at my club knows about it 😂
Well done Paul.
It is a great method.
I'm glad you have kept the secret safe.
Brian
Dear Brian Excellent way to chip. I am following your method no 1 with 7 Iron. 7 Iron is giving good result. Just one problem i am experiencing when ball is in uneven and undulated ground. Hope to get your reply with solution. Thanks.
I am glad my video is helping your chipping.
You need to practice from all of the un even lies you can get around the green.
A clue is always to align your spine at a right angle to the slope.
Brian
Very interesting and inspiring… forget about the flag… how much should the ball roll from the landing spot… I use my 40 degree 9i for most chips and try to chip with ‚feel‘ like putting… I change the landing spot. 😊
There is about a 5 foot run out between clubs.
Keep the landing spot as close to you as you can.
Brian
What a detailed presentation.
Fresh and innovative
Must admit that I prefer method 1
Changing only the club reduces the risk for me
Stay safe and thanks
Glad you liked it.
Method one is the simplest.
Thanks for watching.
Good luck for tomorrow.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro unfortunately not playing. No electricity at the clubhouse so nowhere to chat after golf or more importantly eat!
May do the range but weather is pretty rough at present.
Booked in to play Thursday though.
They really should pay their bills....
The range would be a good option even if it's a little rough.
It will give you the chance to work on a couple of things.
Fingers crossed for Thursday.
Brian
@@davidleigh2573 Bad luck re the lack of power David - what a pain! I hope Thursday works out OK for you.
First method works best for me
Thanks John.
The first method is the easiest to implement for most golfers.
Thanks for the update.
Brian
Perso, j'utilise la première méthode avec, dans la tête, le ratio "vol/roule" de chaque club, ensuite selon les circonstances, je m'adapte au terrain !
Pour cette distance sur green plat, j'aurais certainement utilisé un PW (ou un autre, Gap ou 9,..., selon la configuration du green et du drapeau...descente, montée...)
Encore un bon conseil Brian !
Vous êtes sur la bonne route Marc. N'oubliez pas que plus votre point d'atterrissage est proche de vous, plus le tir est facile. Merci d'avoir regardé
Method 2 for me with a bit more hinge
With method 1 if ball is 3 m back further now you have a different shot
Then 6 m out another
So now you have x number of shots times y number of clubs to practice
Method 2 is just x times 1
Also with method 2 you only need to read about 3 m of green
Where the ball is situated from the edge of the green certainly changes things. It reduces your club choices that’s for sure.
As I said in the video everyone needs to find what works for them.
It sounds like you have and it’s working.
@@fitzygolfpro absolutely I’m not anti method 1 because it comes down to what one is comfortable with on day
There’s a million better golfers than I using both techniques
I second that Brad.
I've recently taken to my 56 degree sand wedge for chipping. But only for distances up to 30 metres. And only if the lie is excellent. Otherwise I'll take an 8 iron for example. The advantage of the wedge is quick stoppage.!
It looks like you have a clear plan Peter.
The wedge is a quick stopper when hit correctly. If you are a little off not so much.
If it's working and lowering your score it must be right for you.
Brian
Have you tried chipping with your left hand lower. I had the chipping yippee for a while. This saved me.
I haven’t Nishant as I have always been pretty good. The well know Aussie Golf Pro Peter Senior chipped CD as you suggested with great effect.
It’s great you have found CD alway to chip better.
Brian
Vijay Singh also used it for a while
I forgot that.
Less loft means to hit in same spot means you have to hit harder because you usually choke up on the clubs. Unless you are also saying don’t choke up and the length of the shaft makes the ball go longer such that it will hit the same spot. But that is not true because the length of the shaft does not correlate to landing distance. When you are switching clubs and trying to hit the same spot, you are actually hitting harder. So you are controlling distance by how hard you hit it even though the length of the shaft might partially help. But telling someone to chip with the full length of shaft means trouble. It is easier to choke up on the club so it is not so long.
You are making this way more complicated than it it needs to be.
Just hit the spot and let the loft of the club make the ball run more or less.
I have been better off with 8 or 7.
The less loft the easier it is. The good thing is you have discovered it and it is working for you Rick.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro Thanks.
