  • Transform your golf chipping with Mark Crossfield's how to chip in golf basics. Chipping made super simple golf golfers who want to stop duffing chip shots and start getting up and down a lot more. The secret to better chipping is to use the golf club to help you interact with the ground and ball in a way that limits disastrous strikes and allows you to grow in confidence around the greens. Mark Crossfield has had his issue with his short game and golf chipping which have played out on his golf vlogs over the last few years. Mark has struggled with duffing chip shots, thinning and complete fats with his chipping game. Today he shares his chipping basics that have allowed him to actually start gaining strokes with his short shots and stifling his chip shots.
    These golf chips shot tips and lessons have transformed Mark's play from around the greens and there is now reason they cant help beginner golfers with their chipping and experienced golfers alike. In the comments below let us know if these ideas help your short game.

    I am pretty good chipper of the ball. I subscribe to Phil Mickleson school of thought ... ball is never in the middle of the stance ... its either by the back foot or front foot, weight front loaded, and then hinge & hold. I feel that produces way better results for me than the style of chipping you employ (and most of my friends do). I tend to blade or chunk the ball using the method you described. Given that I will get up and down 70-80% of the time, I feel Phil's method works best for me. PS: I am not left handed :)

      70-80% is pretty good going given Webb Simpson currently leads scrambling stats for pga tour at 69%. Appreciate they’ll have much harder course set up but I think you may be overestimating your success.

    • @yossoufzai
      @yossoufzai 3 года назад

      @@paulcox4804 That is a fair point. Both about the set-up and my own estimation of stats. I keep rather rudimentary stats. Fairway hit, GIR, Putts per hole and Up-Downs that do include bunkers. My up-and-down percentage is roughly in that range typically.

    • @yossoufzai
      @yossoufzai 3 года назад

      @@paulcox4804 actually you’re probably right. I just checked my GHIN. Here is the stat summary:
      Current HCP Index: 1.6
      In last 12 months:
      75% par or better. 23% Bogeys, and 2% Bogey+
      Putts per round: 28
      GIR: 43%
      Fairways Hit: 74%
      So if I try to correlate missed GIR (57%) to 25% bogey or higher score with # of putts, it doesn’t support my rudimentary stat of 70% or so up and down. The stat I’m truly don’t know how to correlate is putts per hole (1.5 approximately) in this equation of up and down as GHIN doesn’t track that.

    • @paulcox4804

    Thanks, Mark this is very helpful, look forward to more in this series. I chip fairly decently, much as you recommend. I really like your points about a middle grip and feeling that little lift, that makes a lot of sense, I'm going to experiment with that. Your point about respecting your deviation, trying to get it close is smart, I tend to leave a lot short. One goal this year is to remind myself to be brave, hit it a bit sharper than my instinct which tries to hit soft running shots, compared to fuller shots but with less backswing, a bit more release, spin and check, less run out. I'm still trying to build some lower flighted, but still checking up chips into my approach when I need to fly a bunker or tier or some such. One thing that helped me get away from the shaft lean/ holding on habits is to hit practice shots with one hand, both left and right, because it channels in my brain quickly to a decent tempo and a natural release at impact, reinforces me to turn, turn, turn, have my hands working together, softly avoid deceleration.

I have been struggling with my short game and one of the greenskeepers had shown me this technique last year but I never really got to grips with it. Now I have something to really help me improve. As I play at a links course the contact on the ball is so important of really tight lies. I should be playing again in about 8 weeks and will report back.

  • @nathancarper8006
    @nathancarper8006 3 года назад

    My chipping has been very inconstant until this year, I used to try to punch the ball and dig behind because I didn't have good speed control so was fearful of sending the ball past the greens, but I would either fat it and the ball would only move a foot or I was still sending rolling across and over the green. My chipping now has been improving and I have been getting much more consistent with my shots within 25 yards of the greens. I have been practicing within this distance quite a bit in the back yard but that's about all I can get for distance before hitting the course or range. I have been practicing my pacing and bouncing the club thanks to your and others videos. Thanks for all the great content!

  • @aaronnimz3807
    @aaronnimz3807 3 года назад

    I use the same technique for pitch shots. When I chip, I still use the forward shaft lean, but open my stance more to use the bounce as well.
    Short game was a huge weakness so I practiced this all winter, and I ambsolutky love the technique. No more chunks, and have been super consistent.

I have tried all options from chippers to just putting and even had some lessens over the years but I have now started shanking my shirt chips. I normally have the shaft forward when chipping but I will go out and try your option and see if this helps. Maybe I can stop wasting 5 or 6 shots a round now duffing chips. 🤞 looking forward to your future videos on this subject 👍 Thanks for the advice

    Finally starting to sort this out in my third year. I'd say the two most useful shots I'm working on are running a 7 iron up tp the hole and a high one that doesn't roll out too much. Now that I'm finally able to send a nice arching high one in, I'm tending to go with the 7 iron more and more.
