I keep coming back to this video whenever I am working on my short game like this. Such great advice and technique I swear it!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 👍⛳🏌
The reverse pivot so helpful. My lead leg was all wrong. I exaggerate it now and its even better. I nearly fall over sometimes😂
Been following you for about a year now, while quietly listening and learning and studying, buying as much XRP as I can - can't wait to be on the winning side of history very soon!
You've got this! Good luck!
The most comprehensive chipping video on RUclips so far. Well done Clay 👍
One of the most detailed and precise short game lessons I've seen. Thank you Clay.
Glad it was helpful!
It can't be clearer than this..Clay is so clear and demonstrates so beautifully.. it's worked for me..
Best technique out there! Has helped my short game for sure.
Glad to hear it!
I've played golf my entire life and have never been a great chipper because I have NEVER seen it explained this well and clearly. Makes a TON of sense and can't wait to try on the range.
Awesome! Glad it made sense. Let me know how it goes!
Been playing golf since elementary school and played HS golf on a good team in NC. Your technique was very helpful as I am nearing 60. I have had a hard time chipping over the last several years. Used your technique today on the range was very happy. My goal is to break 80 again and haven't scored under 86 in a long time. Chipping and Pitching have been the cause. Wonderful lesson sir. My nephew is one of the top Amateurs and was in the HS class of 2022 out of South Florida. Top 5 recruit with Nick and Caleb.
Thanks for watching, glad to help!
After struggling with chipping yips and what felt like total disintegration of my short game for years, this video has reversed everything to the point where I feel like I can make chips. The first part of this video that talks about the 'counter intuitive' motion of dipping your lead shoulder to initiate the move was the game changer for me. It's allowed me to properly use the bounce and go at the ball with speed without worry of digging the leading edge, which is producing a lot of spin. Thanks Clay, this was so helpful. I tried this once and felt it on the first go. Wanted to say thanks, actually excited to hit chips and pitches now :)
That's awesome to hear! Glad it helped 😃
Thanks for your comment! Your underlying for counter intuitive wordings made me watching and listening and indeed that type of movement and backswing proves to be fantastic. I got it during half round and now I am truly enjoying something which made me struggle for 20!! years. Cheers
@@PM-oo7wp I understand your struggles, maybe not 20 years of it but I know how frustrating it can be to hit good shots and get into a good position then mess up easy chips. Def stick with this methodology, I haven't chipped in for years then holed out for a eagle on short par 4 a few weeks back then on Monday chipped in for birdie and chipped in again for another eagle. I'd also pay attention to your angle of attack, I'm trying to be as shallow as I can on moderate to good lies and its making contact so consistent...I'm having fun chipping and hope it's gonna be the same for you!
This is a brilliant video Clay, thanks, I have only came across it a few days ago and just received my theraband today. Even without doing the practice drill with it, I hit a few chips on the course today using the method shown. Definitely great contact with the ball on my chips. I look forward to using the band and becoming more constantly proficient at the short game.
Fantastic! Play well!
absolutely best video for short game! Really great job Clay!
Thank you, this makes a lot of sense Clay, appreciate the video
Fantastic short game video Clay, thank you very much!!
still coming back to this two years later whenever i hit a lull in my short game. great reference and great technique explained so well
Glad I could help!
I'm kicking myself for just finding this video!! Could never EVER chip....drank all the kool-aid out there with YT vids....never worked (of course it couldn't be me....haha! This breakdown, the REVERSE PIVOT at 9:25 is an absolute game changer! Seriously dude....THANK YOU!!!! It feels right, I forget about the hands and all the other garbage...and going from a trap in the back of my stance (never EVER worked) to using the bounce (scared the hell out of me) and that reverse pivot move....legendary!!!
Glad I could help!
This is an excellent video. I look forward to watching more of these. Thanks Clay!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most difficult thing in a game of golf is the short game, this video is the most informative video.
Wow, thanks!!
Thanks for this lesson Clay! Short game is so important in scoring in golf. 👍🇨🇦
說中文最好
Thanks Clay, you are highly appreciated
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching 👍
Once u get the feel, then the results, u get totally dialed in. I used to blade chips and pitchs and go over the green. Now I look forward to getting em into tap in range!!! Thanks Clay!!
Right on! Keep playing well 👍
Thank you Clay. This is the best short game lessons. May God bless your endeavor. Bill hah
Thanks a bunch for the kind words! So glad it helped.
Good teacher with nice technique thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I pitched today at the local driving range and I was hitting over a bunker about 40 yards out with very little green to work with. Used my 60 degree. After practicing the pitching techniques I ended w 10 pitches. I put 7 balls close enough to most likely make if I putted. One was almost holed out and left me a tap in. The 8th one was on the green but I pulled it about 15’ away. The others rolled just off the green past the hole. I was extremely happy with how consistent I got with it in just 30-45 minutes of practice. The key for me was to make sure to rotate through and that resulted in less chunks. Thank you Clay, I’ve got the itch now to play everyday! I’m about a 15 handicap and w the short game lessons from Clay’s videos I think I’m going to be breaking 80 consistently very soon.
That's awesome to hear! Keep it up!! 👍
Great technique grat swing thoughts. been playing golf for sixty plus years looking forwward to this chipping drills. Thanks Clay for you time.
Hey no problem, it was my pleasure! Hope you keep playing great golf!
Outstanding!! Thank you Clay.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Clay this has help me with 2 chip in for birdie and many chip ups for par.
Appreciate for the lesson , I’m going to practice that so I can improve my chipping game around the green🙏🤙
No problem 👍
Geahhh this video helped me so much. Been struggling for over 2 years. Been playing golf for 20 years and it’s like I forgot how to chip..stopped using my lower half. Thanks a ton!
Glad it helped!
Excellent Clay! Thanks! 👏👏👏
You're very welcome!
This was unbelievably helpful for me. Whenever I'm in 20-50yd range, I'm thinking. Clay Ballard 60-deg. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the lesson. Helped my short game
Glad to hear it!
I tried these shots today with my wedges and even my long irons to get out of the jungle and I can't tell you how much of a difference they made. The chipping was so good. Need more practice with distance control but I made atleast 5 pars which would have been bogeys just by trying this type of chipping. I can't thank you enough for this video clay. I've tried everything to chip better and nothing quite clicked quite like this.
Great to hear!
A very well done and learning chipping video..
Glad you liked it!
clay ... your a genius. Thank you sir.
Wow, thanks!
I needed this. Thanks much!
You're so welcome!

Hi Clay. Thank you some much for your videos. Its so obvious that you care about weekend golfers. Ive always had an excellent short game but recently ive started shanking my short pitch/chip shots. Ive tried everything but to no avail. Can you please help
The most valuable part of this video after you learn the technique is to practice, practice, practice!
Hi. I have discovered this Best Chipping & Pitching Drills from Clay Ballard and beleive that by a lot of practice, I will be making more consistant chip and pitch shots this summer. Here in Atlantic Canada, we have to wait until at least mid May to play. Thanks Clay and hope all of you have a good golf 2023 season.
Thanks for sharing! Hope you play well in May!
GREAT...I START TODAY..TO Practice..THANKS
You got this! Play well!
VERY good tut, thanks.

Thank you clay! I lose about 2 strokes every time I get to green, great video👍
So nice of you! And excellent work!
Good Stuff, I like the hands forward, I can only play at Night though...
Thanks for watching! Play well 👍
Very well done, so is it more of a draw type swing ?
Best pitching & chipping technique iv watched so far 👌💯💯
Wow, thanks!
Would the divot board work if I can’t make it to practice area?
Ooooooh…..I need this. Actually I needed this at the beginning of the season.
Thanks Clay for making it so clear and easy to follow..and I love those incredibly accurate demos!

I was really hoping for tips on shots from the rough. Hits from clean lies could always be better but from the rough is where my issues arise. Much like Clark in the US Open trying to pop the ball up but left it in the rough.
I've got some videos about getting out of the rough here: www.youtube.com/@TopSpeedGolf/search?query=rough
I have duffed and fatted so many chip shots lately and when I do hit the ball with some power, I skull it way past the green then runs out to the back fringe or rough... I am beside myself.
Clay, would you suggest just using one club when starting out, like the 52?
do you have a video to get out of a sand bunker? also what to do for a fairway bunker? Thanks!
Confirmation of what I discovered not long ago. An upward moving rotation transferring body weight forward stopped my ever chunking or duffing a chip shot again after making it an absolute element of my chip swings. If you rotate through the swing path as the club head flows under the ball, you can literally feel the club doing all the work. Distance control simply becomes a metering of how far you take your backswing relevant to the lie. Deeper rough, bring it back a bit more but do the same swing sequence with that same rotation. It’s become like shooting darts at the flag, lol. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Awesome! Glad you're doing well with it! Keep playing well!
@@TopSpeedGolf, by the way Clay, your video instruction of getting your hands low and sweeping through and upward at the release point of the swing is absolutely genius my friend. This might get a bit long winded but here goes, lol.
I just got back from the practice facility and followed your lead up drills exactly for how to get that “low hands” feeling through the midsection of the downswing before contact. The feeling of power as soon as your body naturally starts upward as the rotation stands you up is quite unexpected. I’m fact, it was a damn revelation. I had NO idea I could bring my hands that low through the swing without slamming the ground. But if you time it correctly as you explain, there is a whole other gear of power in there for sure. The reaction from myself told me CLEARLY that I wasn’t doing this movement at all. Not sure how to describe this sensation accurately but, if you have ever used a power drill to drill a hole through metal and the drill bit binds up and starts wrapping up your hand, it’s actually hard to let go because the direction of the rotating drill is forcing your hand to grip even if you are letting it loose. Well, if you let go of having a hard clamp down grip on the club handle and let it free flow through that swing whip, because of how the pulling force of the club is interacting with the angle of your wrist, that handle naturally bites into your hand so a looser grip actually allows it to whip like a rocket when executing that upward motion. That’s the best I can compare it to something similar feeling. That was seriously cool to feel and DAMN does it add yards. After getting that low hands move down pretty consistent, I was no joke adding 15- 25 yards on each club with the same relative effort!! Longer the club, the more yards added. I have to re-measure my distances!! I’m definitely NOT giving up that adjustment in the swing because it also created incredibly predictable ball flight and direction. It feels like the club head is moving forward completely square to the ball for a VERY long stretch before and after the strike. Very interesting feel and extremely effective explanation by you of how to get there. Big thanks for that one my friend. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Odd mine comes out double pin height with a 56. However Contact is great and consistency as well! Great vid!
Thanks!
What are the best clubs specifically to use for pitching vs. chipping for someone who doesn't hit that far and struggles to get the ball up while chipping? I know pitching is more for lower lofted clubs but chipping is for clubs with more loft like a sand or lob wedge, but what do you guys think?
I use a 58' lob wedge, 54' sand wedge, pitching wedge & sometimes 8 iron. Practicing from the rough, the fringe/apron/collar, and the fairway will give you an idea how to play a given situation. A friend who caddied for 16yrs on the pro tour said get the ball on the green as soon as possible. I usually pitch with the lob, sand & pitching wedge, but will chip with the 8 iron, pitch & sand wedge. Try to make the same length stroke/swing & make notes how far each will run using a low or high trajectory on a practice green as well as landing each halfway to the hole. Here's a video of Phil Mickelson's chipping thoughts ruclips.net/video/IvmHU5Hcs2k/видео.html. Hope that helps.
That great lesson Coach.. may i order your hat.. it's seem good to have one..
Thanks! We don't sell the hat. You can order a Nike bucket hat off Amazon or something similar though!
One Question. You say, open stance and open clubface. Is the swing also out to in? if not, surely the ball will always go right of the target(?) Great video. I have watched it many times and ....getting there. As a hitter I have continual difficulty not swinging my arms at the ball. Still going....
Schaun
I like all of your videos. What hat are you wearing and is it still available anywhere?
Thanks! You can find the hat on Amazon I'm sure.
My Golf game:
Driving - steady.
Irons - steady.
Chipping- strong.
Putting - strong
Said no mid handicapper ever. 😂❤👍🏳
What distance is this viable for?
what club are you using? A, pW, 60, 56, 52?
Are there senior golf videos available for an 80 year old man
Sure do! Here's a list of my videos for seniors: ruclips.net/user/TopSpeedGolfsearch?query=senior
I also feature a bonus course for Top Speed Golf All Access members called "Play Your Best Golf After 50" topspeedgolf.com/courses/bonus-play-your-best-golf-after-50/
What bounce is that 60° you're using on tight lies
Clay I have an unusual request! I'm having issues with skin cancer on my face so could you tell me where can I get your hat? Ive seen some like yours but they don't cover my face as much as yours. Thanks for the help......Thanks Rick
I bought it so long ago I can't remember. I think you can find them on Amazon!
Where can someone get one of those bands ?
Amazon or any sporting goods store.
I started thinning what am I doing wrong?
Hi Clay - somehow I can't log-into your web-page. Can you please check?
We had some technical issues yesterday that are resolved now. Sorry about that!
It looks like your left arm is locked thru swing?
Does it help to smack you shoe with the club a few times?😁
Ouch! I wouldn't recommend it! 😂
Casually makes ball at 7:36 and keeps going lol
private lessons ??
Surprised they didnt kick you out for chipping on the green🤣
😂 thanks for watching!

Why yr video always too long
Thanks for the feedback, we'll take it into consideration.
@@TopSpeedGolf I dont think its too long, its good to get a thorough explanation to help get a full understanding of the reasoning behind the instruction you give in the video,
Hi I’m watching your r all video very good
Bro I know this dude’s right foot was sore after making this video. He hit it more times that he hit golf balls I think
This is really good stuff!
Thanks!
