@bHuffy82 I know what it is.

@f0cusen....Hinge and Hold transalted simply means don't let the clubhead go past your hands on the follow through when chipping. However you arrive at the ball, to better control distance in chipping, you can't let the clubhead release past the hands.

Ok enter that one in the golf commandments I believe you Phil.
-

-

MUST READ THIS ARTICLE ON PHIL'S GOLF AND THE MENTAL GAME.

While the Hinge and Hold is not the only way to chip, it's a good way

ONLY...AS IF!! Phil obviously hasn't taught much golf. Ask your average non-athletic, uncoordinated person to try "hinge and hold" and they'll hinge and "unhinge" before contact. Place them into an exaggerated set-up with extra weight on the front foot, extra shaft lean toward the target and even a slight grip modification (weaker top hand, stronger lower hand) no wrist hinge and these people can chip quite well. Instructors need to adapt.
Phil is supremely talented, not all can do as he does.

All these comments that are negative to this video, yet I guarantee none of you have ever shot low sixties. And on top of that you are talking about one of the greatest if not the greatest short game players to ever live. I'll tell you what, I am a decent short game player, but I am definitely going to change my chipping method to accomodate this level of perfection.
One thing that really hit home from this video, the words "you will never chip well" Phil must have seen me play.

Hinge and Hold is not the only proper technique that works there is not only one way to chip.
