I know one thing, will never chip with the ball centered again!!! Very simple easy way too learn it from one of the Best in the game. If not the Best!!! Thanks Phil ⛳🎯
This video has turned me into a confident chipper. I don't even think about thinning or chunking it anymore. I can't believe it is so simple! Thanks, Phil!
For me as well! Confidence in chipping. Literally a few days after watching this and one range session of practice, I played a round and chipped in 2 holes back to back! From about 20-30 yards. Other chip shots were good quality ones (may not be right distance depending on lie but never chunk/blade).
Some youtube pro's spend 15 minutes telling you how to do something that can be explained in a minute. Phil is a master of getting to the point without a ton of verbage that only drags out the lesson. Thanks!!!
Im not sure I've ever had such an immediate result to my game by watching a 3min video. This is so clear and concise, golf instructional videos have become too long and drawn out and gives way too much information to retain all the way to the practice tee . More like this please.
Played golf for over 60 years. This is quite frankly one of the single BEST videos I have ever watched. Thanks Phil. BTW....Loved playing Grayhawk last year !!!
This video is nuggets! I've been playing golf now for 8 months and my short game is fiyah because of these tips. And of course... all the practice put in
I purchased a 60 wedge and executed this today. It worked perfectly with zero practice. Had zero chips land too short and only one went 10 feet beyond cup awesome thanks Phil!
If you can get this down and flop shots the 60 becomes an absolute machine. my 52 and 56 dont see as much action as my 60, round dependent of course but in general
@@ad8110 I have moved away from the 60 and use primarily a 50, 54, 58. I do have a 64 but don't typically keep it in the bag. I loaned my 60 to a friend last year, he still has it. I was able to shoot two even par rounds, several +2 rounds, and one round -2 under par. I do like the 60 but I find I can get it done with the 54 most of the time and the 58 if i really need a lot of loft.
I've been watching golf tip videos constantly for over 2 years and this is the single best, most helpful one I've come across. I do those 3 religiously now and never chunk or thin my chips. Thanks Phil!
i've been using his short game methods for several years also with great results. i found his book at a rummage shop and the youtube videos, both good.
Perfect. Can't wait to put it to the test- been struggling with my chipping out of nowhere- usually the best part of my game. Nothing like advice from the short game king himself
No bombastic technical instructions. Crisp , clear and so easily explained and followed up by simple execution of the chip shot .No wonder he is right up there !
It took me 30 years to watch this video, boy am I stupid! But I’ve got it now and wow does it feel good to at long last be a confident chipper. Thanks Phil!
Watched this video ONCE on a Friday, tried these steps 2 days later and I was amazed I was able to chip SO MUCH BETTER. I even showed my pal and he did much better too (and later shared this video). Phil - you are a great teacher and THANK YOU!
As a lefty I’ve always loved Phil. Are there any more of these quick tip videos, this was flipping awesome. I’m chipping like monster comparatively speaking compared to what I was previously doing!
Best golf advice video I ever saw. Straight to the point with all the right tips and from one of the best to ever do it. So many golf videos are not nearly as helpful yet the host rambles like I did on my school essays to reach a certain word count
I remember before this video i couldnt figure out how to chip to save my life, watched this, went out the next day and it was insane the difference. These tips are great.
Thank you for clear concise video which everyone can use . Most other videos give you white noise and unrealistic standards that don’t apply to a normal golfer . Thank you Phil !
So glad I found these videos , I played today and made par on hole 4 a par 4 hole after my first two shots I was on a hill 10’ from the pin , I took my third shot a chip shot I popped it up beautifully but as I was apprehensive it was short and landed higher on the same hill ,I chipped my 4 th shot it landed 3 ‘ from the pin and rolled in Thanks Phil for teaching me the correct methods of chipping 👍👍
The key to the short game is simple, practice. I worked as a club pro in my 20s, and it was amazing how few people actually practiced their short game. They'd hit 2 buckets of drivers on the range, and then drive right past the chipping and putting greens. If you just put in a couple hours a week on short game practice, your scores will PLUMMET. (and it'll help your long game too btw)
It's really true... practice and the shots get easier no matter what technique you use. Then, as you develop your skill, you can hone in on technique more
Would love to spend a week with Phil it would bound to helpful to anyone's game but I will definitely take on board his tips in the video as he's a short game genius
That helped a ton!! I learned chipping of the back foot and didn't understand why the ball flight was so low, thought I needed a wedge with more loft..
FINALLY !!!! ... a clear & concise presentation on what has been for me, the most frustrating part of the game .... and, what Phil said in under 3 minutes WORKS !!!
I was at the 151 Open at Royal Liverpool GC to do some media coverage. I used to do a lot of filming but as a written media this time I did nothing but watch and feel. On Friday Phil was practising at the chipping ground in front of the media centre, and I just stood there watching his chip shot without doing anything else. The feeling was super unreal and I still couldn't believe it was actually happening: The other top players just chipped the balls here and there, but Phil managed to put almost EVERY ball next to the flagstick! No matter if it was a low shot high shot bouncing shot, EVERY ball next to the hole! I still can vividly remember that scene and probably I'll never forget it. Just unbelievable.
Saw this clip about 3weeks ago. Literally a few days after watching this and one range session of practice, I played a round and chipped in 2 holes back to back! From about 20-30 yards. Other chip shots were good quality ones (distance may not be right depending on the lie but no more chunk/blade).
I tried this the day I went golfing, and almost holed 3 shots with this! A 50-60 yard pitch shot on the first hole, a chip shot on a par 3, and an 87 yard uphill pitch shot with a 7 iron.
1:37 Yes try it! I did tonight and I've never experienced such results from blueprint to reality. I'm 25 handicap and still managed to chip exactly as wanted by following Phil's simple three rules. Highly recommended!!
Wow, great tip. My middle catch hole in my practice net is now full of chipped balls. So many videos are all talk, maybe one shot shown, yours is the perfect balance of tell me/show me. Thank you.
So I practise short game 2-3x a week for 2 hours at a time and its the most fun Ive ever had with a gold club. When the fundamentals Phil outlines here are adhered to the balls on target. Its a beautiful thing hitting that flowzone. Consistency! My short game is 🔥 thank you Phil Mickelson
It should also be noted that Phil Mickelson uses KBS Tour V 125 S+ wedge shafts, which likely help him deliver that "hands-forward, hinge and hold" technique with more accuracy, as they are very stiff shafts in the butt and mid-section. This means that the shaft won't bend or release too early on him until he is further along in his fore-swing, such that he is more in control of when he actually releases the club at the point of impact and subsequent follow-through. The KBS Tour V shaft model was designed specifically for Phil by Kim Braly, with Phil's input. I currently use this exact same 125 S+ shaft in my gap wedge, and it definitely plays very stiff, so for those looking for less beef in the shaft, I would suggest trying the lower-weighted KBS Tour V models (they are also offered in lighter 100g, 110g, & 120g versions for players who aren't as physically strong but want similar feel and performance). Interestingly, Viktor Hovland uses the KBS Tour V 120X version for his irons, but for all his wedges, he games the ultra-stiff Tour V 130X tour spec version, which is five grams heavier than Phil's 125 S+, and would probably feel like swinging rebar from a construction site. All in all, the KBS Tour V shafts are offered in five different weight flexes (100/110/120/125/130). Try different shafts and go with whatever works best for you.
Thanks for that Tony I think us wannabee golfers dont consider the different lob wedges as important as the driver and irons but these clubs like the putter the scoring clubs the ones that give you the birdie chances.I will have a look at these.
Golf lessons can be so funny sometimes. I was really struggling with my chipping yesterday so I decided to come on youtube to see what I could find. Right before I saw this clip with Phil, I watched some PGA coach on youtube saying to do the exact opposite Phil is saying what to do...lol.
@@C-mac_in_the_6ix then he is an idiot you cant chip well or consistently if your weight is on your back foot and your hands must be forward even if just so slightly
@@C-mac_in_the_6ix I watched the video He has the weight on the front foot and hands forward, so i am not sure what you are talking about He doesn't move his hands that forward because it de-lofts the club, that is a beginner thing. Yes but a good chipper can open the face, use a 60 to fix that. I have taken many chipping lessons and practice chipping a lot. Weight is always on front foot and hand are always forward, exactly what Phil said Ball in back to go low , ball off front foot to go high . Your lie and what obstacle in front will influence your decision and NEVER DECELERATE Also bring at least 2 wedges with you when chipping (I bring Gap, SW, Lob)
