Once again an excellent, to the point and very professional tip. Love it and thank you. Keep em coming.
I started doing this a few years ago and I can attribute just this along with some extra chipping practice to lowering my index from 14 to a 9. Just soooo much more room for error for someone who doesn't have the time to practice as much as I would like to.
Great video as always Chris! Been looking for a video like this.
Great little vid. Quite often the simplest ideas are the best. Cheers.
I find lower handicaps use this shot more often than high handicaps. You said that it would be better for high handi. to use this shot, but that low handis. can use a higher lofted club. Well, they may be able to do that, but normally they don't. They try and avoid the short side of the hole (a point mot mentioned in the video, though I think the focus was more on the concept of the shot, not course management) and they often use a lower lofted iron, even sometimes a hybrid or wood out of grainy lies. I've always used a wedge around the green, but that wasn't working so I decided to try this out. Dropped my handicap from 7 to 4 in four weeks (I play three times a week). The key is avoiding the short side, and having lower loft. Putting from off the green also works well.
Good tip.
Good advice😀
Hi Chris - I am a new fan of yours. I am a high handicapper who is determined to improve. I have been watching your chipping & pitching videos. I am wondering if there is a recommended order to watching your videos for a natural progression for me to practice and improve my game. Where should I begin? Thanks! Annette E
Can you post a link to the landing zone please Chris
Chris, great video as usual. I completely agree with chipping and rolling the ball on the green as much as possible. What if you're in some longer grass around the green and the ball is sitting down though? Should you still try and chip or use more of a pitching technique to make sure you get the ball out?
William Feng you should use a bunker shot to get the ball out of deep grass unless you are far enough to use a full swing with a, let's say, 60°.
Álvaro Ybáñez By bunker shot, you mean hit behind the ball and take a big divot?
William Feng I mean open club face but, more bent knees but definitely hit the ball first (of course you'll hit high grass before the ball). Hope it's clear'
Álvaro Ybáñez Ok, I'll give it a try. Thanks.
@chrisryangolf has a great video about deep rough around the green if you want to look at his past videos. He says to take your highest loft and steepen your swing. Alvaro is pretty spot on, but it always helps seeing it in a video.
Chris,
Totally follow your advice for a distant pin, but does the logic apply that you use a lofted club for the nearer pin where less run is required?
Thanks for the great videos.
David Wells You've got it. The closer the flag, the more loft you need. I read a good guide somewhere. With a 7 iron, the ball will roll about 3 times the distance it flew in the air. With an 8 iron, about twice the distance. With a 9 iron, it will roll about the same distance. With the wedges, the ball will roll less than the distance it flew. Obviously it's not exact because every green is different but in general it's worked for me.
Great thoughts, guys. Much appreciated. D.
I know this comment's a year old, but I'll answer your question with a slightly different mindset.
You don't want to short side yourself. The shot you're describing is short sided, which, yes, more loft is needed and a higher flop shot is required. But if you're having these shots more than once in every three rounds your strategy with approach shots is poor. Learn to avoid the short side.
By using a lower lofted club, and avoiding the short side, my handicap dropped from 7 to 4 in four weeks, playing three to four times a week. Used to be I'd have impossible shots, and while I got up and down around 50%, I knew I was wasting shots because I'd make double from nowhere because I got cute on a flop, hit my next shot too aggressive, and three putted from 15 feet trying to hole the putt.
It's amazing what easier shots do to your mental game.
I choose the hard club because I am a hard man
