Danny Maude and Pete Cowan did a video on chipping, and you nailed it on point 2. Your left shoulder should feel like it goes up and away left to make room for your club and swing . Great job!

Philip's lesson on chipping follows the same fundamentals taught in all the Easiest Swing videos: reduce tension. It's easy to tense up before a chip, especially if I hit a great drive and a great approach shot. Plus, your teaching style reflects this as well: soft-spoken, conversational, no sense of being "talked at". Thank you for all you do for us older golfers. 🏌‍♂

Thank you John, we appreciate your support. Great to hear you are finding success with softer hands and better turn through the ball in your chipping. It's a great tool in the bag to have that will help you enjoy your golf even more.

What a teacher! Great presentational style, brilliant explanations and inspiring because of the simplicity on show. I’ve watched this video many times now and it is a reminder to eradicate tension from all grips within golf. Right now, I’m getting 7/10 chips somewhere close to where I want it….very happy with that…this works people.

All this stuff is great even for the justification that what I am doing is on the right track. As my handicap keeps coming down, and I don't even care, because I am playing better and better. I especially like the relax driver stuff. I'm around 5, but at times off tee I am an 18, so I have to scramble, but not as often these days.

Wonderful video as always. Informative, entertaining with really professional production values. Well done team. 2 questions from myself as it wasn't clear from the angle of the shot. Is the ball position central in your stance and do you bias any weight distribution onto your leading foot at address or do you maintain a 50/50 weight balance split? Love your videos as always

@Easiestswing

Thank you for your comment Chris, we really appreciate your support and we are delighted you are enjoying our videos. To answer your questions, I would have my weight slightly more on my lead foot than normal perhaps 5% more and my ball position slightly back from centre maybe 1". These are subtle changes and not too critical.

Good advice we’ll presented. Thanks, Phillip!

My favorite thing about Golf KZread is that you can watch 10 different videos about how to do something and you get 10 different explanations, that all are conflicting with eachother. This video shows techniques that are completely opposite what ive seen for chipping almost everywhere else.

Hi JAlexander you are absolutely right. Have you tried this out and seen any results?

Good video...im always intrested in club selection and why....

@Easiestswing

Жыл бұрын

Club selection can come down to a number of factors, including the type of shot you want to achieve - whether that be a high, low, high spin, low spin shot. How quickly you want the ball to stop or how far you want it to run. How far you are looking to move the ball before it lands, the quality of the lie, the slopes, and even how confident you are using a particular club, plus many more. So lots of reasons. The best way to discover this for yourself is to try different clubs from similar lies and see how they behave and how the ball responds.

Good video..I can see how I was chunking some shots the other day. Thanks...

Hi Jaime I played this with a 52° gap wedge but the principles are the same whether you play the shot with any of your lofted clubs the only word of caution is that most 56/58° wedges have a lot of extra bounce so a word of caution if you were to play this shot with one of those - it probably wouldn’t work so well on a bare lie. We will soon release some videos on how to play that shot.

Hi Dr Joseph I played that shot with my 52° gap Ping Glide wedge but you can play the same technique with any of your lofted clubs with the obvious allowance for less flight and more roll with any of the less lofted ones. As far as the chipputt shot. I recommend you play that one when you’d like to putt it but know you shouldn’t! Hope that answers your questions. Thanks for asking hope you are making good progress. 👍 watch out for some future videos where I’ll explore a variety of different lies.

Wonderful…thanks. Is there a difference in swing or grip when you are chipping out of longer/heavier grass?

@Easiestswing

The main difference will be how much more energy you will need to counter the longer/heavier grass. You will need a hold pressure that is as light as possible, but maintains control.

3 ай бұрын

It is a bit of both - in reality it is about finding your own unencumbered swing that allows you to fully release the club and consistently hit it on target so we are not prescriptive we just encourage you to allow a free wrist movement supported by an easy body action. It’s all about removal of interference. You shouldn’t think of it as performing some idealised perfect ‘tour style’ swing as much as finding your own unique authentic swing.

When you say the club should come through with the flat edge first and not the leading edge for chipping. Should I also do the same for longer iron shots. Thank you

@Easiestswing

5 ай бұрын

Mmm interesting question! It very much depends on what you want to achieve. In general, if you are looking to hit the ball low and don’t mind taking a divot it’s ok to aim to get the leading edge to contact the ground first but if you want a little more height and perhaps minimal divot (with a long iron for example) you may prefer to get the back edge making contact first.

i notice you push the grip forward an inch or so just before you hit the ball

@Easiestswing

This is a forward press, Brian used to do this as well. It's not a requirement, simply a way to initiate the swing movement that feels comfortable.

Should you keep your irons flat for longer shots? Thank you

Alternatively, you can decrease the loft or increase it. Whichever way works best for you 😊

Like your videos, very informative. However one problem I see on most if not all golf videos, is they are always perfect lies, ideal locations, pins are great locations. Very seldom do you see the lies average golfers encounter. Collar shots, ruff shots, hard pan, pins within say 5-8', etc . DON'T MISCONSTRUE THAT I AM BEING CRITICAL OF YOUR VIDEOS, far from it. As a matter of fact I truly enjoy them but maybe you could consider a video with the above situations. Thanks. Semper Fi.
