I'm definitely hitting shots I couldn't hit 2 months ago, and today I shot 80 again, with a lot of very accurate irons from the changes. That's golf and the only way of improving. Point being: you will rarely ever see instant improvement and will most likely see a temporary regression, you have to stick with it and it will pay off. Being able to confidently chip from green side to leave tap ins all the time is like a golf hack (and I can do this, partly why I can sometimes shoot much lower than my hcp)

Open club face advice is very situational. If you're playing a shitty muni where the turf is tough, your club's bounce will cause you to blade the ball because open face raises the club's front edge. More chipping practice is what's ultimately going to fix anyone's chipping.

I can comfortably use it from 60 yards all the way to the fringe, in the rough, sand, and rain. I think it's just a matter of practice to understand the feel and comfort to not blade the ball on a bad lie.

For recreational golfers I wouldn't recommend it. There are too many variables that most likely will lead to blading the ball. Play around with 7 iron down to Gap wedge. Play ball back of stance toward back foot toe or behind. Press club foward playing the ball closer to the hosel and just take a putting stroke. Play around with close face to neutral face. Too much of an open face with this technique will cause a hosel ball. It is an easier technique with very little movement. Do not let your wrist hinge at all. Keep your hands pressed forward the entire stroke.

Um. That's the point. High controlled shots

The open face activated the bounce / effective bounce of the club. It takes the leading edge away from the ground reducing digging and allowing the golfer to trust the ground. It does also allow you to use more speed but the main reason is that it improves contact, especially on tight or poor lies.

Great info

Also love the knowledge you all share and hope to be part of something as helpful as your channel

More and more I'm chipping with an 8 iron. An LPGA pro showed me this when I was playing at Celine Dion's course in Montreal. It is great if you are shot-sided and within a yard of the green.

True- open face when chipping does lead to better chipping.... yet practice is key. For instance, you really need to experiment with your weight in your stance. On tighter lies I have found its vital to place more weight forward which slightly keeps the leading edge down and hence avoiding those thin or skulled shots. Getting this feel is important when using an open face on tight lies. Happy practice and experimenting.

I never used to do it, recently I've been doing just this. Helps a ton! 👍

In a golf swing the speed comes from centrifugal force not gravity. The club goes in an arc, not into the ground like a shovel

Best chipping advice I've ever seen and it works so damn well and I've always been and actually a pretty good chipper but the advice from Tiger Woods when he was doing the chipping thing with Scheffler about up on tight lies chipping with the toe while having a little bit more of a vertical swing on my almost like a putter stroke is awesome highly suggest every person to practice this because you really start to get a really good sense and feel of how you can manipulate the ball significantly if you needed to while chipping off the toe of a wedge

When opening up the club face, does that mean you need to aim left then? I can see that when opening the face, you're changing the angle that the club will hit the ball to the right. Is it enough to warrant aiming to the left a couple degrees?

Bro that chip ended up further away AFTER he shot it lol

This is ridiculous, it adds a huge variable to peoples' shots. Carry 3 wedges as I do and play them normally. The reason this is really dangerous is that most of us don't have the skill of the best players.

I think using high loft and opening the face only works with certain chipping situations. The guys who are really good at the high loft wedge chipping have to execute well every time or the could get higher variance in their result (most amateurs will just have the higher variance)

Really cool visual of the higher the back swing the more passive acceleration, except you’re talking about gravity which is constant acceleration. But whatever like good feel for ya, hold onto it

The best players normally have nice clean grooves too 😂

I was watching Cameron Smith at the Australian Open practice chipping after his round he was amazing but his acceleration was ridiculous reminded me of Gary Player's sand mantra of "strike the match"

Hitting bunker shots with open and closed faces will help teach you how a wedge works and that can be applied to shots off turf.

As a guy who was quite shit at golf improving my chipping by chocking up on my wedge and doing a bump and run rather than a high lofted shot has improved my game immensely I could see this being a great tip for high handicappers and looks great when it works out well but much higher chance of blading it 20 yds past the hole for me

What he’s saying about speed or acceleration is 100% correct. It’s more technical and graduate level golf, but it’s true

Great tip, really great tip

Great instruction here

WTF is this melt wearing

Bumb and run works better for most golfers. Just use a pw and pick your landingspot at half distance to the hole. Also if you duff allot of chips lift up de heel of your club to prevent digging in.

Jose maria Olazabal, 2 times Masters champ, who was taught how to chip by Ballesteros will tell you that he will never open the club face but will play with shaft angle and ball positionning while always swinging in line with target. Of ciurse thats not the only way to chip well

Tom Watson and Raymond Floyd were great chippers; they both said "chip like you putt", a little air time and more roll out.

Chipping is an entire art of its own. Depending on lie, green to work with, obstacles in front. You need different clubs, face position, ball position, angle of sttack, releases, draw, fade, straight.....you get it :)

@zporteso3493

With that said, letting the club come down by its own gravity is a good starting point for chipping :)

This is how I love to chip. I’m usually better at short flip shot than a chip and run lol. You get the club head to move fast through the ball but without power

I actually have found better success using a forward shaft lean on all my chips. It closes the club face by maybe 2-3 degrees, but it ensures even the bottom of my club face is completely flush with the ball, so what might normally be hit thin is still hit well. This might apply at the top end, but i’m a 17 handicap and this trick really helped take me from low 20s to that number.

Also more bounce this way, so less digging your club into the ground 👌

@gasperstarina9837

Depends od the wedge grind tho

I call that a pitch, and yes the face is usually a little to a lot open. If I’m hitting a short “chip” to just get it on and roll it out, the face is dead square to the landing target. Is this a nomenclature issue between the States and the Isles?

Look at that gravity speed! I don’t even need to hold the club!

Can this concept be applied to your irons as well?

A lot of players struggle with keeping their hands ahead of the ball while also keeping the face open. One way to do this is to open the face and move your hands forward, and then grip the club.

That is interesting golf thought and consideration in advance golf xo Rio 😎✔️⛳🎯🏆

I only use a 56° and typically leave the face open and do full swings like this. I flop it often. Great for putting spin on the ball and getting it to sit on the green.

Wes Bryan is a great example of this.

I chip like I'm putting and it works great. No over complication. Like chipping is the best part of my game and that's all I do. Nice square face. Putter swing stronger and I can do that from 55 yards out or 1 yard out. I just control how high my hands get and I make sure I'm on a perfect plain and it is a really nice light drop outcome and it stops fast. I'm the worst player in my group but I it chip then constantly. It's crazy

Idk about the distance thing. I find just finding the clock on your backswing and based on what time u drop it gives u the distance.

I literally was watching Wesley Bryan yesterday and noticed even on mid length chips he had a large backswing. He’s known for his wedge play. This tracks.

Shane lowry is a master 👌🏌

Much needed

And a very soft grip is another critical part of chipping with a lofted wedge

A chip is a ‘one lever’ swing with no wrist hinge which results in a low trajectory shot. When wrist hinges it becomes a ‘dual lever’ action called a ‘pitch’ shot to differentiate it from the no hinge ‘chip’ and called a ‘lob’ when the face is opened to produce a more vertical trajectory.

You beat me to it, he talks about chipping then proceeds to hit a shitty pitch.

Gravity is the key. Just realized that a few days ago first round of the year. With chipping keep the club face open take a nice backswing, follow through but don’t change anything and just rotate while gravity pulls the club back gm down Swing right through and under the ball, nice loft, quick bounce and about a foot and a half roll, boom. On the green easy peasy

Tiger likes to chip with the toe down

Distance control comes from the length of your back swing. Speed comes from acceleration through the ball.

Was not expecting that fit 😂

I get what you’re trying to say… but the acceleration you have due to gravity is the same irrespective of the length of your backswing. What’s different is your clubhead speed because that amount of acceleration acts for a longer period of time the higher the clubhead drops from and therefore the clubhead reaches a higher velocity.

certain shots call for different swings if your green side with a lot of room to work with there’s better options

Open face and come slightly outside in swing and steeper to create more spin to stop the ball because the greens are really fast on the pga tour. Do you really wanna do that at your local municipal golf course where the green is slow?

Wesley Bryan is the best at this takes such a big backswing on short chips

Problem with opening the club face is the loft can varies so the ball can be unpredictable, I just use a higher loft wedge, so instead using a 56 and open club face I practice using wedge 62 and square it, much more consistent.

And yes please test the driver on the launch monitor

Chipping with a muddy club will help take spin off the ball so it rolls out better.

The best chipper use what makes the most sense. Tow down with a closed face hit it like a put is what a lot of pros do and what most amateurs should be doing.

Common misconception gravity does nothing to make the club move faster... we did this trick with the bowling ball and the pebble, remember. Centrifugal motion by keeping the club on a plane pendulum is making it move faster.

Makes sense to me via physics.

Mind me if I'm wrong but that seemed to be a pitch swing not a chip? Am I misinformed or is chip just a vague term?

I think it depends how good you are because an average amateur I believe should have the toe more closed if you're playing golf almost everyday or hitting the range really working on your shipping then yes you can make the open face work well but I've tried both and when I don't play often that closed face is money for me I won't get the spin but at least I'm on the green and pudding for par and not making a disaster open shank blade

Be sure to use the bounce with an open face. To produce an extra soft shot, play the shot with no shaft lean at all at adress. 👍

I’ve always thought pitching with an open face is to use more of the bounce. I’ve never heard someone say an open face creates more speed. But I guess more loft allows you the freedom to have a longer backswing.

Chipping is the strongest part of my game, unless im hitting a full 58 and need all its yardage the face is open. I also chip off my front foot to get a little more loft to the ball

Dan Grieve prefers a straight face for accuracy of direction. Then you just change the club or use release 2. If you want more bounce, get clubs with a greater degree of bounce.

From there at that pin I’m hitting pitching wedge all day long
