Golf Instruction - Great Chipping

[iVanHalen666]

From the Canary Islands (Spain) Spot on Ross, your tips are magnificient. You're absolutely right about the chili dip shots... I've been chipping since I started to play rolling my wrists and it has always costed me awful results. If that wasn't enough, I almost developed a sort of 'chip in' technique which is more like a quarter swing shot than what you teach here. In short... thanks a lot. Anytime you drop by the Canaries, let's play a round together.

@iVanHalen666 Thanks for the nice comments. Now, there are at lease 2 of us that know what a "Chile Dip" shot is. Haha. I'm gonna take you up on the Canaries invite. Ross

I have so much enjoyed every video. After watching your chipping video, I went straight to the course I've been playing on. I love the drag in front of the ball and keeping the wrists forward seems to enable this drag, now I only need to master it. I will send you a video of my swing when I am able. However, can you please post a sand shot. And I love your voice, it is so relaxing. Thanks, John Sparkman

@Sparkmansongs Thanks for the nice comments. I'll put a bunker shot on my to do list for sure. I also have a couple of different iPhone apps coming too.

Why dont you teach us approach shots first. If we hit the green with our approaches we dont need to chip.

[DUPLESSISGOLF]

@katiekirwan1 I like how you think.  If you've been watching golf this week, not everyone hits the green. There has been some chipping, pitching and scrambling going on for sure. I think you might need to have this shot in your bag just in case.... Ross

@katiekirwan1 you going to hit every green in regulation in every round? dont think so? be grateful for his video!

Good video, loved the numerous "chili-dip" references

[juanc5347]

Good tips. Clear and concise

[mormril]

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

[spencervickery]

this is one of the better short game video on you tube. He makes it simple and easy to understand with no jargon technical talk. Good Vid.

I agree concerning the fact that there are different visions on how you should chip. And that makes it sometimes difficult to me to find my way to improve. I just noticed lately that rater than keeping my upper body stiff in order to avoid flipping the wrists, if I add a little hip turn to the move that makes everything easier and more natural. And the results have been dramatically improving.

[DUPLESSISGOLF]

@misemanu I agree totally and teach only that move but. that is called pitching, when the hips engage. I have written much about that move in my blog. Learning to use large muscles athletically to control the the golf swing is key to all golf shots. Unwinding from ground up, is the key to consistency. This video is 4 years old and is about chipping. Many still like to chip and this helps them. Read my earlier response below to blueterrace about hips.

[blueterrace]

I'd like to see that demonstrated in three inch devil grass rough like I play in please.

[DUPLESSISGOLF]

@blueterrace Easy, but you need to add one thing... start the downswing using your hips and keep unwinding and let your turn lead the handle through impact. Works great!! Use the mass of your body turn to bring the ball out (not your hands) and you will be much more consistent. Keep the shaft inline with your front arm...maintain the club face and just turn. As long as you do not let your hands open the club face... the ball comes right out, at the target and at the distance you perceive.

haha this guy has the funniest voice but is also a very good teacher

[bowhunter2439]

I just finished watching Phil Micklesons ''secrets of the short game'' where Phil stated most great chippers almost always break their wrists at impact when chipping from the fringe and just beond......your way is more comfortable for me , but I have been studdering and hesitating the shot resulting in sculled shots that shoot accross the green.....so now im really confused as to witch direction to go , practice the wrist bending of the no 1 player in golf or go back to the stiff wrist arm ...?

[DUPLESSISGOLF]

@bowhunter2439 This is a great question and there is a simple answer. The shoulders can only do a little chip shot without the face closing or flipping. As there is a need for more distance or more height, THE HIPS NEED TO START THE DOWNSWING AND KEEP TURNING TO FACE THE TARGET WHILE YOUR HANDS ARE PASSIVE AND JUST HOLD THE SHAPE! Let the large muscles create the power. This is more of a pitch shot. It is the most reliable. Use your shoulders to push back, then hips to turn through. NO FLIP

[UJSupanova]

Thanks for this video, i've just took up golf and i've had the problem with flipping my hands on short chips leading to the shots being much much shorter than planned or even hitting accidental 'bump and run' shots because the edge of the club has hit the ball instead of the face. I'll definitely keep this in mind when i go again.

[kapoleilola]

went golfing today and sucked on the chips. Thanks for the post.

[cheetncat]

Good basic stuff! Thanks

[dvfly]
