I really like Paddy's and Annika's tips. Keeping the weight on your left leg throughout the chip and your legs relatively still is the foundation of a great chipping technique.

Paddy has the best tip. Chip with almost no weight on right foot. Hes underrated.

Raymond Floyd’s short game was second to no one. The best short game tip I have ever heard is keep the shoulders moving thru impact, if you stop your shoulders then the hands takeover leading to inconsistent contact.

I chip with my eight iron usually, sometimes the seven. I stand close and use a putting stroke. Works really well. I showed the technique to a golfing buddy who had just blew his chip shot using a wedge. I threw a ball down and told him to get his 7 or 8 iron and use a putting stroke. He ran it up to the hole and looked at me like he was amazed.

i see these guys all the time saying to "use the bounce" --- can someone please describe in detail what they're talking about? Do they mean they concentrate on the bottom of the club "bouncing" off the ground more than contacting the ball on the face, or what? I've been playing over 35 years, and I know a heavy-soled wedge works great out of bunkers, and a thin-soled wedge is awesome to pick a ball off a tight lie around the green, but beyond that i'm not sure what they're saying.

@timmcgrath9708

13 күн бұрын

@@Golfzilla70 It means the sole of the club - as opposed to the leading edge - connecting with the ground when you hit the ball. The club glides over the surface and doesn't dig. If it's a tight lie, you need to have low bounce otherwise you're likely to hit the ball with the leading edge. The higher the bounce, the more the leading edge sits up and the more likely it is that you will hit it skinny. The shot needs no or very minimal shaft lean at impact. Shaft lean exposes the leading edge to the ground.

The last guy you want to take chipping advice from is Nicklaus. He mentions Palmer told him to putt. However the best advice he received was from Phil Rodgers in 1979 who told him to swing the club back and through in the shape of a figure 8. Of course Nicklaus went on to win 3 more majors and 2 in 1980. He should have given credit where credit is due in this bit unless of course it was edited out.

Jack Nicklaus agrees with me....Texas wedge as soon as possible.

I love this

Lee is the man

Whoaaaaa, I'm going pro now!

Gary is so right in his chipping theory in which I have used for years and it serves me well Don't get me wrong I would love to do these lob wedges and spin the ball close to the hole but for me I can't master it, so a six/seven iron suits me too a tee! I played with a young guy and he was using all sort of high chip shots to the green and was always short or too long, I tried to explain to him in what Gary has showed us and his answer was - no I like to put the ball in the air! What can I say, the youngsters of today wan't too copy what they see on Telly!

Trevino and Seve were great sand players..

I include a junior golfers 56 degree wedge in my bag because it's very accurate for short pitching. I'd rather have 4 wedges in the bag and use them a lot.

What we have here is every great golfer with every different technique to get the ball to the hole. So there really is no one perfect method: Wedge- 6 iron- putter- toss it like a ball....just hit it a few feet onto the green....fly it high....all just shows us that there's no one way except what you can do the most consistently- and no one can ever be consistent every day.

Ty for da upload

I play with a guy who uses a putter from the bunker. He gets it out every time. Even on bunkers with huge lips.

Nice!

All of these chipping lessons are always just off the green in fairway conditions. In reality I tend to miss left or right and playing in England I'm playing from muddy rough. I think the average golfer can play the shots they're showing but struggle with the ones where one practice swing covers your club face in mud. Must be great playing in perfect conditions all the time.

Around here you rarely have any flat grass around the greens, green are elevated, protected, bunkered and not flat :-) However, from time to time I get such a nice little chip. They are not a problem. When you're shooting over bunkers to flags you can just see the top of, these easy shots are a piece of cake and I will use a 7 iron at times to run the ball like a putter. But most of the time I'm flying in high with my SW or 60.

To follow your analogy there is so much more to golf than "pounding a nail". It would be more like building a house. All the skills amd different areas of the game. Full swings, half swings, wedge play, pitching, chipping, putting, green reading, lies, course strategy, ball flights, conditions etc. Would you have to learn how to build a house? As far as swinging a hammer it would be more like driving all sorts of different nails into different surfaces with different types of hammers. And yes there are many different ways to swing a hammer. Many are super ineffective. You cant just over simplify the sport and the skills involved. What most people should really do is lower their expectations. "Just hit the nail" is a great way to shoot in the 90s which is fine if thats your goal but if its to truly get "good" at golf, that's another world.

If you can chip, you don't have to know how to putt. :-p Personally, I still think that Phil Mickelson is one of the all time greatest players around the green. His sister Tina could also give most of us meaningful instructions on wedge play. And Lee Trevino has to be one of the great wedge players of all time. How many of your golf buddies can put enough spin on to back up a Top Flite ball that is only slightly softer than a ball bearing?

At best I'm a duffer. Can't hit irons and my driver has 3 golf ball dents on top. But it seems I was born with a sand wedge in my hands, no matter where I'm chipping from I either hole it or set up for a 1 putt. I make a bit of dough off my friends doing so. Somebody please teach me the rest of this bloody game.

All credit to him.

in general, it's seem like the "older" generation always uses the philosophy to get the ball rolling ASAP. The newer golfers like to use a sand wedge for everything around the green. I don't understand it because that's much harder to judge consistently....just one recent example....Lydia Ko on the final hole at Lake Nona had a long "chip shot" on the front of the green. Rather than just take a lower lofted iron, she took a sand wedge and tried to fly it back to the hole. Of course, the ball came up well short and she bogeyed the hole. She still won and par wasn't crucial in that particular moment but with her touch and feel, a "bump and run" shot would have been a pretty easy shot for her. IMO But current day pros do this time and time again. Makes no sense from a consistency/law of averages standpoint.
