OMG, this video made me want to pull my hair off! Terrible!
Excellent, from India
Uhhhh, not sure if I caught anything he said.
What is the ideal club bounce rating for chipping with your method?
I have a question….how did golfers prior to 1935 chip, because the wedge didn't exist yet??? 🤔

Thanks your lessons/tips are great.
I am Salman from Pakistan…. really liked your video…I am 6 handicap

Go to 7:50. The rest is just an advertisement
Phil is already a Hall of famer.
Respectfully the verticle line swing system seems perplexing to me. For me its much easier to keep the arms connected to the body and use a little wrist hinge. Similar to brysons chipping around the green. The full swing w bounce is an option in deep heavy rough. Ie a flopper. Way more difficult to execute than the simple move i describe.
When you ask people what to share their a/s/l… little creepy 😂
I’m 74 with a 9 handicap so. Hinge and hold works best for me for years. Your method is not my kind of golf method. It just doesn’t work for me personally. However you made a great video on your style of golf.

It really bugs me when I watch videos like this where the instructor says that hinge and hold requires more precision, is less forgiving, is only for really good golfers, etc. That's just not the case. It really comes down to what you're comfortable with. I'm more of a handsy player, so the hinge and hold just feels better. I play with people who are the opposite and chip great with no wrist action. But it's just not true that it's any harder to chip with wrist hinge.
I played this video at 1.5x and it was still too long and only saw one actually chip. lol
Speaking from the UK.You always seem to give tips from lovely lush grass.Here in the UK in winter there is little grass.What grass there is,would not be described as LUSH.
Holy crap that was a lot of words and the word “bounce” with zero instruction. That’s 8 minutes 30 seconds I’ll never get back.
Dave Pelz was my teacher
Im convinced Phil Mickelson told everyone to Hinge & Hold to mess everyone up.

More bounce for the ounce.

Liked this chipping lesson. Subscriber for last couple years from mid-Michigan. Like the way Todd explains things; makes it understandable and transferable to my game.

More visual and less verbal needed! This is a video with audio!
A chip shot spends most of its journey on the ground…a low running shot
How does bounce help on a really firm or thin cut fairway . Or fring? I feel like the bounce helps me only on chips where iam in the rough or the ball is propped up on thicker fringe
Without watching this video, I'll give you my tip. ALWAYS have the face open regardless of length of chip or short pitch. ALWAYS! Vary the amount with the length and kind-trajectory of chip or pitch you're attempting. This will help immensely with preventing fat shots and will get some decent spin on the ball.
Brilliant. Thank u

Played one shot, knocked it 5 feet past……could have got it closer with my putter. Just saying.
Personally for me and I must state up front I EXCLUSIVELY chip with a 64 degree wedge. I always take it to the hole. I never bump and run. I find to do this I first have my feet touching each other ball back of my right foot I shift my hips and I hinge but finish not hold and I can put tremendous spin on the ball to stop it dead.☠️ but that’s me.

Thanks for the vertical line system, which seems to make good sense. I will work on this to stop duffing my wedge shots. I live in Charleston, SC at the age of 71…play all year around!
Phil can do anything. He’s from another planet and very hard to copy him
Brand new golfer from Louisiana. Very good information. Thank you
So, chip with a putting stroke.
Can work? It does work obviously because Phil has made a living at it! Watch Mickelsons hinge and hold video people…the way to go!
less talking more instruction.
The great chipper …Lee Trevino ?? Or Moe Norman?
Both techniques are easy and effective
Phil M.
It depends on the shot required.. u r just talking.
