😲 I have watched a lot of videos on chipping. Keep arms straight, use a putting motion, keep your wrist quiet... Then I watched this video and it was like an epiphany. I grabbed my sand wedge and headed to the course and practiced from 50 yards in. From the first swing onward, boom dead on, hitting from the fairway, the rough, and over obstacles. Distance control was pretty easy, good height, ball stopped on a dime. None of that was working for me before.

A really good teacher!

Just watched this yesterday and I have to say Thank You Phil! I’m a pretty good golfer and I basically know what he was teaching BUT early on in the video he clarifies what he means by “holding the hinge in his wrists” - the hinge being maintained by accelerating the hands vs “holding” the hinge with his wrist muscles. This totally clicked with me. Easy to practice and execute (for me). Took it to the course yesterday and was a chipping/pitching genius! All credit to this tip.

The best chip shot lesson ever.

Excellent instructional video. Never decelerate into the ball, always accelerate into the ball to ensure a proper strike. The loft of the wedge will do the rest. If the amount of backswing taken is correct, the ball should then reach the desired yardage. Shorten the backswing slightly if playing on faster greens, as deemed appropriate.

People just need to practice and experiment more by themselves. I discovered this same technique on my own because I also break wrist right away always and then I experimented with holding it. The only problem is there are no true short game practice areas from what I can tell(I am new golfer). Every range I went to has only small chipping area. Luckily I go to this one small par 3 course that used to have range but now only short game area and I can practice all the way up to 100 yards shots on it. I have been there dozen times now and I am only one using it everytime which tells me people really dont practice pitching and long chipping. I am not complaining though since I get to be there for hours all by myself😊

Well, you shouldn't really chip with a 60 degree wedge unless you need to fly the ball most of the way to the hole. I mean, it would need to be a specific scenario in which you need a high, soft shot. There's very little bounce on a 60, so it's very easy to duff and/or get way under the ball (leading to a little pop up out of longer grass that goes nowhere).

In his pomp, Phil had an amazing short game. Imagination and execution of the shot were fantastic. Can’t say for sure he was the best ever, but surely among the top 3 or 5. (Seve, Tiger have to be in the mix. Jack Nicklaus must have been brilliant to win that much?)

I have watched videos explaining why this doesn't work, but those videos severely exaggerate the holding of the hinge. Phil doesn't hold the hinge, he just doesn't let the club face pass the hands through the ball. Anything beyond a pitch...this is the only method that works for me, and it does in fact allow me to use the bounce.

Learn from the best I say 🇺🇸🇬🇧

I prefer to use different clubs with less change in the swing. Between a 60 with no wrist doing 10m, I only need to add wrist action and go to a 48 to make it 50m. I also have 6 other defined yardage between those, all with the same size swing. For someone who doesn't have the touch that Phil does in feeling the length of the backswing, it's a much more consistent approach.

I'll show you again

Yep this swing is great for 75 yarders and in personally. My question is at what distances do you start going full with more release of the wrists/club? For example a 100 yarder can be a full 54 for me or I also like using like an 80% pitch wedge. But should I still hinge and hold for an 80% P wedge?

@therealgolfsecrets

11 ай бұрын

Well if you want the ball flight low and the ball to release and run on the green to a back pin then hinge and hold that 80% pw. If you want the ball to stop on a dime on the green then do your full 54. It all depends on what you want the ball to do.

You know all his shots were filled with one take as opposed to other KZreadrs who make themselves look better with multiple takes

No, they chip with anything from a open 60 to a 9 iron. It just depends on the shot. If they have alot of green to work with and they want the ball to run and release they could chip with a lower lofted club, like a 52 degree gap wedge for example. If they want the ball to land softer and stop quicker then a 60 degree would be used. Phil goes over all this in How to chip part 3.
