I wish I knew THIS about CHIPPING sooner... 

Thank you for such a detailed analysis of how the bounce on the club works . This is such a clear style of explanation, many thanks.

This was a very simple lesson. I have been really struggling with chipping and short pitches so I had to go outside and try this. It totally took my right hand jabs out of the equation and my landing distance were spot on. Can’t wait to try it on some tighter lies than my lawn. Thank you. I just subscribed.

Peter, i love your style. And i am a huge fan of Dan. But yiu explain things so well and in such an enjoyable fashion. What i would like to see you do a video on would be how to do chipping off of different types of turf. For example, I did some of my best chipping in a while on vacation in Arkansas where things are dryer than where I live near Seattle where winters tend to be wet.

Agreed…. Big fan of Dan Grieve. Was previously a hinge n holder which is fine provided your timing is A1 ALL of the time. Mere mortals struggle with that so this technique allows far more tolerance for less than perfect timing of the low point in the swing. Also, works better on thicker grass types like Bermuda/kikuyu etc.

I will say, Rick's lesson with Dan Grieve changed my chipping. More spin and consistency. Nice to have a refresher, so thanks.

I started doing this and the feeling for me is letting the club head pass the grip at impact (even though it isn’t). Also to finish with the club face pointing at my left shoulder, grip pointing at belt buckle and stand up tall facing the target.

I've got his book and seen several of his videos. I LOVE the 3 types of releases. It's helped my short game so much and I thought I was already a decent short gamer :D

Super video! Great that you name-checked Dan Grieve. He’s an awesome coach and his book, The Three Releases, is an excellent read.

Good instructions a la Dan Grieve. The problem with the great many instructors is that most of the time is spent on what you shouldn’t be doing-what the viewer is doing wrong, or what is perceived to be incorrect.

Great simple informative instruction. Love this style of feel based tips.

I'm of that generation taught to 'show the makers name' of the glove when chipping. If I'm playing with someone who is struggling, who asks me for help, I tell them to have that thought in their mind. I feel that once you have a more consistent strike and want to improve then the method in the video is fab. But then I still chip with my 8 iron!!

Good lesson. As I remember, Dan also emphasizes a light grip pressure, 2 or 3. That may help others to release the club properly (handle up vs forward) through impact. IMHO this "feel" works well with the putter also. Thanks for the post.

A good thought is to "wait for it" It being the club head. The club wants to release through the ball because of how it's balanced, this is why wedge swing weights are so heavy. The forward shaft lean hes describing is basically you fighting what the club naturally wants to do by rushing the downswing and loosing or manipulating the club head. People who struggle with short game often believe they aren't doing enough or the right amount of things in the right order when they are really doing too much. Feel the club head and it will do whats its balanced and design to do :)

Dan is a true wizard! Love the drill to complement what he has been saying

Loving the ball animation 😂

thats a great mini-clinic!

Pete great video

I discovered this at the beginning of the year, it makes so much difference, if not to results, to at least the amount of fun you can have around the green. Hitting high spinny chips is so enjoyable. My light bulb moment was when I realised that if you allowed the butt of the club to move down, then upwards at impact you could literally bounce the club off the turf and have the club face almost move upwards into the ball at impact. I went "Oh..F**K, 30 years of golf and I finally realise why they call it bounce"

Great video Pete , I’m so confused and baffled at times with chipping and pitching , getting under the ball and weight forward with some shaft lean … that does work out to a certain extent , that does feel good .. but Now theirs this Dan Grieves way of doing things with using the bounce it’s very interesting ,, scientifically 🧐 Im working on this handle moving up and around For a while my swing thought on pitching and chipping There’s a certain rolling of the shoulders and a magical tilt like picking a lock I thought that was the magic formula , that did work out also I’m sure I was hitting the centre of my pitching wedge or 9 iron I use

Swing quest? New sub. Either this is a new channel or youtube delted my subscription. Long time follower either way. Best

Watching the podcast with Micah! Funny that you are remaking your first ever video!

Great video Pete. This is something I struggle with and will give this drill a go this week. Chipping out of different cuts of rough I also struggle with. Is there a better technique for getting out of longer rough?

I must admit, that my most successful chipping has been from Phil Mickleson, hinge and hold, works brilliantly for me.

I think this concept could potentially invoke more thins. I like Pete Cowens line. "Push the bounce under the ball". The other part of this is rotation. No rotation or pivot bad contact no matter what you do. Rotate or pivot and collect the ball

Dan Grieve & James Ridyard are excellent teachers.

Thanks Peter 🙏🙏⭐️⭐️

Attach the butt end to your belt buckle from parallel to impact and follow through.. and you'll be fine!

Thanks mate, that really helps. Am I correct in thinking that the butt-end of the club keeps pointing at your left hip through impact & follow-through?

Stan Utley was first with this I think but it's all still good.

VERY good advice, for coming in high n soft(just as you demonstrated). However…. Not ideal for low, bump n run type shots.

Another great video 👍🏻 … I’m going to hit the chipping green today and try this out. Now, how about those PARTIAL WEDGES? 🤔 … those tricky 75 yard, 50 yard pitch shots; those less than a full swing ☝🏻 I’ve heard about the clock face method (taking the club back to 8 o’clock, 9 o’clock, 10 o’clock), but do you have another method for controlling distance on those pesky short pitches? … those score killers 🙄 Keep up the good work 👊🏻

Agree. Trust and use the bounce. Minimal shaft angle/lean.

I had been chipping great. However, in Portugal the grass was different and my confidence with my chipping around the green went quickly. Any advice on chipping when playing in Portugal or Spain?

Would you ever go back to armlock Peter ? Thinking of getting one in the bag

For me the most important thing in this video is to rotate. Even with very short green side chips you need to pivot.

Have you seen Joseph Mayo? Works with pros like Hovlind, Crane, Xauffle. Teaches 10 AOA down for massive spin on chips.

good one pete

woah! the way you follow through with the cover drive would make half the english team cry. just a thing of beauty. is that why you have the bigger grips? I come from cricketing background. cheers!

Just when I had a handle on leading with the hands! LOL

Winter months in Mid-west united states can't get outdoors so, I will have to practice on a hitting matt any suggestions or things to watch out for?

The part of the game I'm struggling with is golf.

Wow I wonder if the answer here is simple practice and play about around the chipping green? 🤷‍♂️ I am sure some Pro once said that 60 years ago (Seve)

Great video. I like these kind of chips but I dont think Phil is gonna agree with you :).

As Matt, Golf Sidekick, says concerning follow through: the 4 Ts ... Titties To The Target!

love Finchy :)

Swedish coach says scoop your irons after contact.

I've literally watched hours of chipping instruction videos (including Dans) and have practiced what seems like 100x as much. My most frequent miss is hitting well in front (4-6") of the ball. I had always improperly blamed it on dropping my shoulder before impact but I don't believe this is the cause. Any thoughts?

I am far from a Phil Mickelson fan - BUT- he is one of the best wedge players ever. He always was a hinge and hold type chipper so there has to be value in that method. I think timing comes into play far too easily with this new method if I'm honest. Too "handsy" for lack of a better word. I see Victor Hovland's chipping has greatly improved by getting a bit steeper and taking some hands out of the chips (or so thats how I understood it after listening to a recent pod cast he was on). Each is own but less moving parts seems way more repeatable - or am I wrong? Hmmm.

Suggest buying Dan Grieve's book for Kindle £9.99 & watching bis vids on RU-vid, marvellous stuff 😎

So whale is saying in essence is watch the Top Coach on here…Dan Grieve!!👍😉

To be fair, Dan's video explanation was much better.

the idea of "applying loft" to create backswing is questionable when you consider a key ingredient is hitting down on the ball

Very similar to Stan Utley theories

Hello

Uh, no one watches the club head at the level of the club head and the ground. It is an individual feel thing. No one can see exactly where their club head impacts the ball at the moment of the impact. It is what we try to create through repetitive practice over and over again, that gets you the results you want. Very few of us can get to a course where we can repeat a process over and over again. Driving range just gives you so much for swing consistency. The rest needs on course work. Knowing the motion at club head contact as shown here is helpful too.

Let’s talk about the Joe Mayo method (Victor Hovlands coach)

Looks like that is pitching NoT chipping

Phil Mickelson fake news'd me for years with his hinge and hold, that's the source for all the club drives when chipping

This is 12 handicap stuff son. And it is not what Phil Mickelson teaches😂😂

Can’t see the contradiction…

First

Get a chipper

Why do all you guys contradict each other so much .

Much too much talking and two little instruction.
