The most important short game concept you can learn



I coach at least 20 new golfers each week and have watched millions of golf shots. Over that time, I have never asked a golfer to grip the club more firmly.

Watch this video to find out why and how a simple change can bring the most profound benefits to your short game.

  1. @Dan: would you change your grip pressure based on the season? Would there be a big difference between a wet winter in the UK and a dry summer (if you have one ;)).

  2. Really appreciate your lessons and the way you add insights helping me to adapt to different situations. Like pointing out when applying different grip pressures as this one. Got the book as well and is now aware of my short game and far better at it than before I decided to go for your methods. Very precise and easy teaching as well. Have watched all clips and still learning some new small details to improve every time. A Teacher with a capitol T 🙂

  3. Hi Dan, hope you read this?!

    Great video! I have a problem when hitting a short chip, 2-3 m with not alot of green to work with. If i grip it so lightly it feel if i must make a bigger swimg to generate momentum to get the ball on the green. What usually happens i hit it to hard! Any idea how to approach a short carry with no green to work with?? Thank you!

  4. Absolutely brilliant Dan; thank you 😊 That’s the first time I’ve heard/ seen a video covering the grip in the short game in any real detail. I don’t recall it being covered as such in your book but I will go back and double check. I really enjoy your videos on the channel Dan: I don’t do social media (TikTok, Instagram, etc) so, once again, thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise with us mere mortals.

  5. Thank you for all your lessons. Been using your technique’s for a while now. My short game is now so consistent compared to 12 months ago. I’ve kept a record of my putting for the last 6 months and my average is now 34 per round thanks to getting so much closer when chipping. 19 handicap as well.

  6. DG and SGC are my inspiration and key to short game instruction for me. They have helped me tremendously. KUDOS Dan, you are amazing

  7. The feeling that the light grip soft land shot gives is simply sublime. I love staying for 30 min to an hour after a game just trickling balls on the last green. That effortless shot has to be one of the best feelings in golf

  8. Great video. But it appears on the chip and run that you had the ball in the middle of the right foot and a slight club lean towards the hole. On the soft landing, the ball was more towards the middle of your stance, you seem like it was slightly open stance and the club was vertical as opposed to leaning forward. Am I imagining this? Or is it important for technique. Thanks for a great video.

  9. you're videos really saved my short game. I had way too much grip pressure. And because I struggled a lot, it just kept me strangeling that club. Easing off the pressure to what I would call a 2/10 has done sooo much for me. I absolutely love to be on the pitch and chip green now and play with the loose grip 🙂 Big thanks to you Dan. Love the way you teach!!
