Why are all of these chipping videos filmed on beautiful grass. Film on bare dirt like the spot my ball seems to always comes to rest on.

The way to make the chip shot is to align the chip directly toward the hole. Then hit the ball with the correct speed to reach the hole. That way the ball will go right into the hole. You’re welcome.

You didn't do your practice swings on the last 2 shots

Useful tips, think the video could've highlighted the key points a bit more and been a couple of minutes shorter for ease of absorbing the info.

Chipping and putting is the only areas that us amateurs can be close to the professionals, unfortunately we don’t spend enough time practicing at it. We should spend 75% at the short game area and 25% at the driving range.

I have had many times over the last several years where I get some chippy yips, and its specifically a weird shanky thing that goes like 75 degrees right. When I do that a few times out of 10 it messes with my head and I resort to essentially putting with the wedge to be safe. I've got a lot better and have figured out what caused it, but it still happens a rare once in a while. Besides the weird shanks my short game might be the best part of my game, I can legitimately hit Mickelson flop shots accurately. I also started doing a PW bump n run instead of lob wedge pitches when I'm able to, much more consistent with that. Overall though, learning to use the bounce on my wedges made a large difference in regualr pitches

Excellent demo, will try, short game is trouble for me.... don't know how many times 10 - 30yds from green in 2, and end up with a double bogey 6....

Ali, I notice you don’t rotate fully in the finish. I understand it’s more of a putting stroke, but do you think more rotation (chest points to target at finish) would make the shots better?

One thing you forget to mention is wrist hinge or lack of.... most amateurs tend to think short shots are feel shots, with hands, just like Seve.

What about a 28 handicapper? With that method, I chunk 70% and thin 25%, with occasional air shot, due to yips.

That's pure gold, Ali, thanks a lot! Using the putting grip on chipping opened a new dimension for my short game.

He mentioned his challenges with chipping, bad habits etc.

Having a more upright shaft angle and hittting like a putting stroke are great tips - I've been using that for about a year - big help.

The advice is great on the technique and it makes for consistent chipping. My problem however is if the lie is not great I start to overthink adjustments. ie. ball landing on a hilly slope near the green or in rough grass or even between bushes with no grass on the ground.

Great stuff!

Putting grip massive positive teaching point

When having toe down, did you still want to hit ball in center of club or more off the toe? Thanks

tried your method today, worked great.... was even using it from 30 yds out with a gap wedge (50*). Thank you!!!

Ali - NO ONE demonstrates crap shots better than you!!! 😀

Hi Ali, thanks for the lesson. Are you controlling the swing with your shoulders, arms, or hands or a combination of one, two, or all three? If you could shine a little light on my question it would be great
