How to Chip Around the Green - 3 Easy Tips 

Grant you said to chip with the shaft straight up and down but you were clearly leaning the shaft forward slightly on all your shots. This is the proper technique as it greatly increases the chances of a solid strike by lowering the leading edge. A high leading edge can result in the deadly bladed shot! Another important point you might consider adding is reading the lie. How the ball lies in the grass is critical to choosing the best club and shot type to play! Thanks Grant.

Your comments are throwaway. Show some actual care for the average golfer.

FYI maybe talk about ball position

Practice sessions would really be the key. Hit a good amount of balls to have consistency when your hitting. Feel plays abig role, clock system also helps to know how far back you wind up on your backswing.

phil mickleson has a video about it, I made a short showing me hit 50 yard shots

I was struggling with inside 70 yards as well and what helped me was practicing half swings with a sand wedge and pitching wedge and seeing how far they would go. My half swing sand wedge goes exactly 50 yards and my half swing pitching wedge goes exactly 70 yards. You could also do the same thing for a half swing on a 60°

@@jpdst29 tnx for the reminder!

Will have that coming soon! Glad you enjoy

@@GrantHorvatTeaches you're the man, G!

Appreciate it!

LOL...If he does that, look for it in shorts, cuz it probably won't be more than 30 seconds ;-)

@@coryowen1949 that’s true

48 is my go-to chipper as well. Higher lofts require a ton of practice and feel to get consistent results. I call my 48 my lofted putter.

"What's wrong with high-launched irons...I love that," chuckled Rory.

The lesson you gave Andres Lang was a great one... I would also expand on that lesson on this channel

GolfSidekick released a vid on this topic very recently. Might be exactly what you're looking for until Grant gets around to it.

Maybe they should do one together, with Dueling Banjos playing as background.

I've tried everything to straighten it out only works for a few drives and then it's way right

to fix my slice, i now line up further away from the ball, with the ball on my left toe. but the key to fixing my slice was keeping my hips hinged so i was leaned more over the ball rather than standing very straight up

You should check out Micah’s video with JT on chipping. Ive had the chipping yips for about 2 years until I watched that video. Not completely cured but it was a good starting point for me. Hope it helps you too. Cheers

I was taught by my pro to basically do a bump and run type shot with high lofted clubs by delofting them, handle forward. It is pretty predictable and contact is pretty good. It basically hops once and then rolls like a putt. I get comments from guys with less than half my handicap say I’m really good at getting up and down. I changed to this technique relatively recently so I know it should only get better with practice. You might consider trying it out, since you can use the same club you have been using. Basically ball is at the right shoulder with weight left, handle at left pocket. Maintain weight and shaft lean during swing with softish hands. Stop your follow through at a singular point, but make sure you are turning your body through to the finish. Something to try, but if what you are doing is already great then keep refining it.

And flop shots from different lies

Why 2 hop stop when you can one hop dunk it 😎

lol! Forgot that one

Very true!

That’s what grandpa always said 👌🏻

Bump and run with 12ft of green and running away from you? lol let’s hope no one is teaching that.

These are much shorter distance than you think. Most people are blowing past the hole with an 8 or a 9 by a fair bit.

I use my 8 iron 30-40 yards out and my 9 iron 20 yards and in. I use a simply putting motion and I get it pin high 90% of the time. I use a 58 if I need a flop shot but rarely use it.

Must not have watched the video.
