Chris, you are a fantastic instructor. Well done, indeed. Thanks for having done these videos … it always looks easy but the way you explain makes you want to try it out immediately.

Chris, being a seriously challenged golfer I watch a lot of instruction videos/you tube. I would say that of all, yourself and Danny Maud are the clearest and most easily understood. Closely followed by Steve Johnson and Matt Fryer. Thank you all. I am still s***t but now I know why!

I can say your on the right path and you are watching the right people to learn from though!! i used to be a challenged golfer and after practicing my behind quarters off and watching the exact people you named im now back shooting in the 70s. Danny, chris, and Padraig, and golfTec guy jon i think it is( asian guy) are all really the best ive found. Plus my name is chris ryan 😂😂 and just like chris im on the taller side at around 6'2 so watching him helps me visually see how a taller individual does certain techniques and shots etc

Just found your videos, this was the first one I watched, this chipping technique was different from what I have been unsuccessfully using, I used it and it probably saved me at least 6-7 strokes the first time out! You are very good at explaining and demonstrating how to make the shots, keep up the great work!

Likewise - I watched it yesterday and I saved 6 to 8 strokes today chipping/pitching 50 yards and in around the green.

Best video I have seen on pitching and chipping thank you!

Great simple advice as always Chris, especially on the club selection

Best description of the difference between these two shots that I've come across. Great video.

thaks Chris I found your definition of chipping vs pitching really spot on for me and then introducing the change in club selection for pitching based on desired result caused by club absolutely perfect for me to understand.Im going to search your vids for putting grips and style next

Working hard on my short game this year. You always have excellent videos helping my game. No one explains as well as you do!!

Another great lesson thanks Chris, and maybe these shots are the ones most needing practice, because of the judgment and skill needed for distance as well as direction. ⛳️. 🏌️‍♂️

Even though I knew the difference (and I practice both shots all the time), I still watched the video. You never know what else you will learn. The explanation was excellent, to the point, with good examples. Always nice to listen to a good instructor.

As a new golfer this was the best breakdown between the two I've seen online!

Thanks. Good refresher on technique. Well done as usual!

The clearest description I have ever heard....so much more helpful as it explains when to use which shot and club choice. If a future video can show what to do in thick muddy grass around a green that would be great as rarely conditions are so perfect ! Much appreciated!

Thanks Julian appreciate it and glad you found the video helpful, will bear that in mind for a future video 👍

Thanks Chris. Very helpful. Great explanation. I struggle with the short game so understanding these points is great! And will help me with my practice & game.👍👍👍

Chris ... Your method of delivery is so good it makes it easy to recall when you're playing. Thanks for all the time it must take to complete these videos. Brilliant

Never really understood the difference, had some coaching on the chip shot and it works but I've applied it to all situations, eg chipping over a bunker , I can get it over the sand but invariably it runs too far , I can now adapt the pitch shot instead. Really good point about understanding what suits the individual , need to improve this area as it's where i lose most shots, I'm either too shy or too bold with my chipping, glad i've now got an alternative to look at, especially from a bit more distance from the pin. Excellent advice as always , in comparrison to some other coaching on You Tube you break it down much better. Keep up the great work. Thanks

Love your video, Dude. I’ve been watching pros on the tele (and I seem to have more time for that nowadays) and your video explains how they’re doing it!

Perfectly explained. Many thanks.

Chris, I am from Sri Lanka, your vedio explain Chiping and pitching in a way which is very easy to understand. 10:17

one of the most helpful videos I have seen on pitching and chipping, I would only add that it is important to work out your standard pitching ratios with PW, 9I, 8I etc, i.e. 1-4, 1-3 etc re pitch to roll distance and how to then adjust these to uphil,l down hill, grass grain etc

Thanks Chris! Your short game videos have helped my game immensely!

Chris, your vids are by far the best instructional videos on KZread. Thanks so much for your work.

This is great. I have always been uncomfortable with a pitch shot as I thought you had to take loads of grass as well. So basically I have just chipped every short and not-so-short shot with my 7-iron. Resulting sometimes in the s-word (shank) or a totally out of control shot or two adding extra strokes. I now better understand the set up for a pitch shot and will practice various differences - as well as proper chipping set up. Just stumbled onto this video (lucky me!) as I have been pretty much hanging out with Rick Shiels and Todd Kolb. Thanks for a clear and concise session!

Thank you so much. This video alone helped me shave 10 strokes in less than a week. I played a 9 hole course on Monday and again on Saturday and I shaved 10 strokes.

Love this!

I tend to use the chip shot technique at both types of distance. From further away, I make the shoulder turn larger, increasing the arc length and perhaps a bit more swing speed. With a 56 degree wedge, I am able to carry bunkers or just a fair amount of rough. The problem I have is when I’m a bit too far for a chip technique to have enough carry and roll. This video should help me work on my pitches. Thanks.

A very well demonstrated and explained video on the difference. Excellent too watch, Thank you. 👍

Chris. Again, great video! Finally I understand the difference between Chipping and Pitching and how to decide what to do in different situations close to the green. From Spain, again thank you for another great video!

Liked the video very much. Nothing is like a rule, it's always our own decision and you showed us the possibilities and what we could do and how to do it.

Thnx Chris excellent explanation havent played for eight years and your mini course was helping me getting it back now practice practice and practice

Superb explanation! Thank you.

Cheers Chris, another quality lesson. My short game destroys my card, will definitely give this a good look at

The best instructional video, so clearly explained. Consistency in application of techniques is so critical in golf. Going to put it in practice and surely improve my game. Thanks a bunch!

Great video. This is a perfect basis for most players. Often the chip shown in videos of tour players is actually a pitch as wrists are being used, but as you said different definitions apply. What helps me playing a ball sitting on top of longer gras (which for higher hc is more often the situation than being on the fairway or first cut) is using less loft, for ex a gap or pitching wedge instead of a sand wedge. This way the club head doesn’t slip through under the ball so easily which avoids shots much too short. Thank you.

Great explanation of the difference between chipping and pitching, thanks Chris👍

hi Chris happy new year from Australia to you and your family and thank you for your instruction throughout the year it has certainly helped my ball striking cheers mate

Chris I always like your videos, very very informative and you keep it simple. This one compared to others you spoke about the different clubs to use, just like Butch Harmon.

Loved this video (and I've watched a few!) but this one is so simple clear & easy to understand, I've banged down on the subscribe button and looking forward to watching more!

Thank you! Pretty much an AHA moment for me - been looking for the formulae re club choice for chips!

as always, great video, good job chris!

Very well explained Chris..thank you...

There are so many instructional golf vids on KZread so you can’t follow them all. In my book there’s only you one need to follow - Chris Ryan, thanks so much.

Nice job as always Chris.....thank you!

Thanks Chris. Extremely useful

I’m 56 only recently started playing. This video really helped me Tks

Superb lesson, many thanks.

A really informative video and very easy to understand. Thankyou.

Excellent instruction presented efficiently..thanks

Exactly the info I needed! 🥃🥃🥃Thanks for the details!

I’ll sure use these tips and hopefully improve my game around the green

Thank you for the tips! great video

Thanks Chris....nice and clear description of chip shot vs. pitching.

Hi Chris, great video and very easy to understand drill. Made a difference already. Many thanks. David.

Once again good stuff Chris thanks. Youth is wasted on the young you know! The turf interaction with Chipshot : you contact the ground on the target side of the ball ⚽️...removing a chil of the turf ; Hence the name chip. and as you mentioned correctly with the pitch shot it’s simultaneous with the back of the ball pitching the ball ( bounce ) into the air with spin and higher trajectory..... The ratio of flight to runout is Gracie and will be a good reinforcement in the learning process... Carry on! The 7 iron has very little pounce so as to reduce trip interaction making particular that particular shot less likely to be the higher percentage shot⛳️🎲🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏼🤺

Great explanation. Thank you. Ric

This video was extremely helpful. Very well done.

Learning everything about playing golf through videos on KZread and yours are by far the most informative and helpful.

I'm supposing that these exercises .. especially the last several uploaded lessons .. have done me a bit of good. As in the previous note on this lesson: I played in the two day small time club championship. I counted a minimum of 10 terrible breaks that occurred. (One shot .. my second to a par 5..trying to bounce the ball on to a front pin.. the ball struck an old replaced divot.. the divot bounced high in the air .. killed the energy in the ball .. and the ball landed in deep rough 8 yards short of the green) Repeated bad break again and again. I had 6 birdies overall total for both days; shot 75 and 76 respectively. And finished with the low total of all groups .. in first place of my division .. with the low total of all divisions. So .... thanks CR .. I would say these have helped. :-)

Great video Chris. Can' tell you how many times i've re-watched this video when things start going off. Thanks

I’m a high handicapper who seldom can find the fairway in front of the green, can you show me how/what club when in the 2nd cut off the fairway when chipping or pitching onto the green?

Great explanation. As a beginner this is really easy to understand. I will put it to the test today.

Clear and precise

Used the chip technique twice today over 9 holes, both to 5ft and holed out. Awesome teachings Chris!

The best lesson ever, very precise and extremely beneficial. Helped me greatly to improve my short game, many thanks Chris

It's all about the wrist hinge. Chip have very limited or no wrist hinge, like a putt. Pitch incorporates a wrist hinge so it's a trickier shot for most. Both are essential. Pitch shots in particular are very useful to get out of tree trouble and for damage control around greens.

Great video Chris and great tips

Great video. Great lesson in the differences between the two shots. Now to practice it. Cheers

Great tips, hoping will help sorting out my inconsistent chipping.... many thanks

Your videos offer the best instruction I’ve found on KZread. Very easy to grasp for a beginner like myself. Question, do you have a video going into the size of a chip swing? A larger (or smaller) backswing and follow through with a given club clearly change the distance the ball travels. Any advise or directing me to another of your videos would be appreciated.

Great instructions!

Instead of thinking mine name is Phil I started chipping as much as possible and save a lot strokes. Sometimes it makes for longer putts, but I'm avoiding a lot more of those duffed/bladed chips.

Fantastic instructional video

I enjoy your golf lesson today ... great technique 😊

Thanks for tips Chris! Greetings from malaysia 🇲🇾

Hello Chris, Thanks for all of your effort and instruction. Watch your videos regularly. With regards to chipping and pitching, what are your thoughts on the rule of 12 as a guide for working around the green?

Very good demonstration and great skill of explanation

Excellent lesson

Wow amazing, thank you, helped me so much 👍

This is a great video. Very succinct.

love the easy chip info

well done, very good explanation!

Great lesson

Good work Chris!

Thanks Ryan!!

Great lesson! What about distances around 40-90y from thre green? Pitching with my pitching/ gap wedge or full swing with my 56/60degree? Thanks a lot! Half distances are really difficult to play if you consider them as an upn down...

Excellent lesson!

Excellent tutorial

Great explanation 👍 Thanks!

Great vids mate, you are very good at explaining things, cheers.

Best short game tips ever. This should easily move any amateur to Par 4

Terrific explanation and video that clearly demonstrates the difference between a chip shot and a pitch shot.
