Phil's style is possibly more repeatable but the only downside is that if you hit the ground slightly early then the result will be much worse... We incourage all our clients to experiment with all kinds of techniques so they have more versatility.. Great comment and please keep them coming.. Check out our Facebook page for more tips and challenges. Thanks

When describing and demonstrating Luke's technique, you left out his biggest asset... rhythm and timing. There never seems to any "hit" in Luke's chipping and pitching. Beautiful...

I hv been using phil chip style, I found it u need A LOT of practice to avoid mis-hit. If u don't no what you r doing don't force yerself to use phil's way.

i've been using a modified version of donald's chipping style for the past few months now...i lean the shaft a little more forward and keep my hands quiet in the back swing...i find this gives me more consistency, especially with lower lofted wedges ( i use a 52 mostly).i find phils method causes me to mishit way too many easy chips

However, it's started to gradually kill my short game with plenty of duff/fat shots which has crippled me mentally. however trying the Donald method I find it much easier to hit consistent chips. Ultimately though you just need ton spend a few hours on the practice ground to see which method suits your style. Excellent article though! Keep up the posts!!

I have tried to use Phils hinge and hold method for the past two years ( after buying his DVD).

Phil's style is more repeatable...the feel is called hinge and hold. Donald's style is a bit more delicate

Great video! I prefer Luke's style as I feel I can gauge distance a bit better

luke's style is MUCH more dynamic. if he wanted to, he could adjust his stroke to utilize more or less bounce. this is how most of the guys on tour are doing it. there's a video ben crane did about using bounce on youtube as well. it's a neat video.

Thanks for the video, would the Luke Donald style create less spin on the ball and more roll? Thanks
