@@braddalkegolf Personally I think you have the best swing in Good Good (Kwon too). Hitting the nipper is a favourite shot of mine and i have been a bit rusty with it so this is a good refresher for it. The feel I have is that i release it like a bunker or a flop shot. Works 80% of the time haha.
FINALLY!! An instructional video that walked me through the shot piece by piece with common, easy to understand language and not the technical jargon. EXCELLENT LESSON!!
Love the feel style teaching! Much easier to relate to than some of these very technical analytical teaching videos out there. Well done Brad! I am a high hcp that has somehow always had the nipper down and a good short game but my driving/woods are terrible so I look forward to that video!
You have been a great addition to the team Brad. I consider myself 'pretty good' around the green, but you are next, next level! Great advice especially when you say the most important part is to practice a lot. You make it look easy, but that's a tough shot! (Now I have to start opening that face)!
I REALLY appreciate you guys putting this channel together and teaching different aspects of the swing and different shots. Brad is an excellent teacher and how he presents the i formation is fantastic! Learning new shots and how to practice is a big key to getting better. I look forward to seeing more here. Thanks guys!!
This is awesome. I've always had good hands around the green and use this open club face but get speed through the zone and partially close it at impact technique for high shots with the ball off my front foot. Can't wait to go get this for the nipper!
Thank you SO MUCH for these tips. I am a decent chipper, but i work hard at it. I love finding ways to improve around the green, and this helped. I don't know why I never thought to open the face AND have the ball in the back of the stance. I do one without the other for the desired loft or run out, but I couldn't get a good nip shot. These tips are what I will be working on tonight!!! Boomer!!!!
I am loving what you, Brad, are doing with this channel. I do like your style of instruction as it it helping me even at the advanced age of 70. I am about a 9 handicapper but always look for ways to continue to improve my short game since I have lost a lot of distance. Thanks!
Love using this thanks Brad not quite back spinning it like you but stopping it dead!! Have started using this technique in bunkers too and it is working a treat with the wet sand in England atm
You're super switched on to your feels and that makes you a great teacher. Cheers Brad been waiting for this one, can't wait to get up the practice green
I love how you teach. Just how you are able to articulate makes it easier to follow! How you're able to not get caught up in that youtube mumbo jumbo! 😂
SOB! I watched the beginner and intermediate parts of this video and off to the practice range I went. Adding swing speed to my wedge shots and now the ball just flies off the club face with lots of spin. The club stopping chunks into the ground are now replaced with divots. Now the practice will be how far back to take the club for the distance needed. Thanks Brad, your video is a game changer. R
Great vid. In the advanced section you talk about the release & this is where we also see body rotation. Perhaps you could talk about that as this is key to a beginner who tends just to use arms back & through mostly leading to poor strikes.
Thanks for these tips! Could you make a video on how to compress the ball and take divots with full shots ? I’d also love to see a video on full wedge shots as well :)
You’re awesome at those shots. Great lesson. One thing I would add that helps me is to open the club face before gripping the club. It keeps me from shutting the face down too much at impact IMO
Just watched you tube championship and wished you Garret, Luke would have been invited, think it would have been a little different, love the knowledge you have about the swing Brad.
Brad, would love to see some tips when the ball is sitting down in the bermuda grass around the green and you need to hit a pitch shot. Also, thick bermuda rough hitting approach shots.
Thanks for this, Brad, very interesting... I'm definitely at the beginner level... and I'm wondering why, when the clubface is that far open, why the ball doesn't squirt out to the right? Can you elaborate on where your feet are relative to the target, etc.? - Also, what about trajectory? Thanks again, keep up the good work!
As someone who loves hitting the nipper I can't tell you how much you have to practice practice practice before you're comfortable doing this on the course. But like he said, to have this shot in your bag is absolutely invaluable
Great pointers love the video. Just a question perhaps for another video. What would the best technique be to utilize the bounce of your wedge to get better contact?
Hi Brad. Love the content. Can you tell me what loft and bounce you use around the greens. I have Bettinardi wedges. 56 degree with 14 degrees of bounce and 60 degree with 8 degrees of bounce. Is one better?
Love the content and the tips. Any way to make a video about hitting a driver? I’m barely getting into golf and Good Good is what makes me even more excited to play. My driver keeps on slicing
That's my biggest mess up in chipping, the decel. I've gotten way better, but sometimes that little voice screams in my head, "Slow down!" near impact. Duff dang near every time. Bring back the labs jingle! Thanks, Brad!
Good good, I started golfing last year and completely dove in I’m trying to make golf my career and teach people so i am completely different than the avg player I take it very serious. I’m shooting high 70’s-low 80’s from the tips in my second season. Bring me out and give me some lessons I think you guys can get me to scratch. I promise you I’m different, I’ve spent all my money to get where I’m at and anything I earn goes towards it. It’s a struggle rn but it will pay off!
I know this is a swing channel but i request that you teach us more advanced golfers course management and mental lesson as a half decent golfer I don't think trying to get my swing when i already hit it fine some people like me need to just need to lean across that finish line to get into the 60s
Got a question for you Brad. Noticed you didn’t mention anything about grip pressure and just wondering what your thoughts were on that? I can make the same chipping action but with firmer hands it comes out way harder. With soft hands and generating a load of club head speed it would come out softer, or do you prefer a tighter grip?
Is club selection only preference around greens? I have both a 54 and a 60 degree I got my 54 more recently so I use it more since it’s in much better condition but I notice my chips roll out more since there’s less loft (also my sixty degree is hand me down old and rusty but still effective) maybe too effective since rust could grab ball more and help it check up… what are some thoughts… I would love to see a video with more nuance about club selection and when you may want to switch chipping wedges.
One thing is to also take a practice swing. Likely will have to clean the grass off. It gives you a feel. It's a feel shot. Keep feet close and don't pull your arms back too far.
I went and tried this on the practice green. I was able to get good spin (greens are soft right now in Portland and I was making little zippy ball marks) but not less roll out than a high trajectory pitch shot (not a flop). I was hitting maybe 15 yard shots. Is this only the short sided shot from longer range where you can get more spin or an I doing it wrong?
