The idea of “get your shirt buttons up and around toward the target” can be a truly magic move for your short shots around the green, especially if you suffer with chunked shots.

Hello golfers welcome back to JD golf TV your home for playing better faster today’s lesson is on your chipping you’ve got the entire offseason to improve this darn chip in motion and get this swing Circle remember your Club is moving on an arc to bottom out in the
Right place but also at the right height let’s get after it this one I’m going to move the bottom Circle too deep into the ground and that is well to be quite honest that is definitely definitely more devastating because now the club is coming down which is fine but it’s getting too
Deep into the ground so if your strike is not absolutely precise man you have no relief in the whole world coming your way so here is the moving the swing Circle down and some folks do it well this way well there you go on grass that bul
Might have got to my front foot I’m going to show you one more of those that’s a goodie hopefully you guys will all recall this number right here this right here is the center of our swing Circle bicycle wheel hub if you will and this baby right here is the swing
Circle now you know with a chip shot you can bottom out right at the ball or right after the golf ball you can bottom out a hair behind it if the height of your circle is behaving very well and you brush the back of the club on the ground not the
Leading Edge but to be honest we’re going to talk about you don’t have to it doesn’t matter how much for aine you have all right so there goes the kid now you’ll notice that I actually move toward the target a little bit on the back which is something I’m going to
Recommend with my entire heart because that helps move that Circle toward the target but in this case here oh dunigan where are you going you bad boy I have you can see this poor things on the ground back here now it’s not deep but it’s backward I have taken my swing
Circle that used to be over here and moved it back to over here and that has taken the entire circle back enough inches to bottom out before the golf ball isn’t that special now this is one of your types of fat shots also just as fun what do you see here
With the swing Circle let’s have a look at this guy go who oh I see that a lot by the way I have just lost my height during the down string my um um my nose is now where my throat used to be good God that’s going to move this circle
Into the ground now it’s bottoming out back here so you could say you could say that I moved the circle backward but but I didn’t folks I moved the entire circle actually forward but lower you get me that’s the second kind of fat shot this is the kind of fat shot
Folks where I see people get the IPS from you can see the center of my circle has moved well forward but I still hit about a foot and a half behind that golf ball finally we have this one A different kind of fat shot losing the height during
The downswing phase of the golf swing and I’ll just use this one okay close enough here we go so I’ve done a good job here I like a little I like that head move a little bit toward the target and this time here I’ve lost my
Height again but it came out of my knees you can see that on this side I increased the knee Flex which I boy I see that one a lot too now yes I’ve bottomed out behind the golf ball here but again that is not a low Point
Backward fat shot that is a swing Circle 05 in downward from where it started fat shot I hope that makes a lot of sense so maintaining your height can be very simple now you know I like the forward you know I like to have the boy set up
In front of the golf ball shirt buttons remember the tree doinks one two three I love that setup that that sets me up with my circle in front of the golf ball but I can still mess it up so what we’re going to do okay so what we’re going to
Do we’re going to manage these shirt buttons now I can push my shirt buttons up and around toward the target which I think is a magical move watch some of the best guys in the world you might see the Shir button move toward the target upward and away from the ball call that
Up up and away that’s going to look like this now hopefully you heard that contact that man that was hit really good okay and let’s take a quick peek at that and we’re going to go back there’s the in front of the golf ball folks don’t worry about it it’s a wonderful
Thing now I’m going to give you one little tiny line and this is a reference line I’m not focusing on my head at all in fact I don’t know I have a head during the swing I’m just pulling my shirt buttons up there there’s the up and around toward the target through
The golf ball that move is going to change your life as a chipper that move is listen to me now and hear me later change your life as a chipper and what will happen is that’s going to get the club out of the ground yes you can actually have more forward shaft lean
Without problem but you can also have less forward chaan without a problem it won’t matter as as long as you and up oh did you hear the sound it’s so beautiful makes me so happy that sound is fantastic now in that one there I only
Hit the golf ball 15 yards I had 4200 RPMs of backspin I only hit 3 degrees down on the golf ball because I got up up so beautifully isn’t that interesting I could take the same dude and reverse it I’m going to go all the high stuff in
The world which we can do with safety again if we control the height of the circle and the low point of circle that’s the shirt buttons ball forward face wide open shaft back toward my right leg so it’s very much in neutral there’s open baby
All right here we go now we want to get up and away folks did you I just launched it at 42 freaking degrees that’s Insanity that is absolutely nuts I only hit two degrees down on it I still spun it 4,000 39.96 rounds up to 4,000 that is nuts let’s aim way left
Get get the face a little open and then hit our same technique where the fa is to the right of the path having more difference is going to add more spin oh my goodness did you hear it again folks this kid is on fire today that was a 13 yard shot that had
5261 spin rate is that is nuts hit five down on it bottomed out 4.6 in after golf ball I brought into impact a loft of 54 degrees so the spin Loft was 60 this one here I launched 32 33 but had a whole bunch of spin same short distance
Isn’t that cool all right standard issue chipit toe that’s a new term it’s going to be on the SATs for you folks all right there’s the center of the circle is okay the boy goes back there’s a little toward the target a little more toward the target
And Up Up and Away watch them on TV folks all right that’s a pretty neutral shaft okay ah just some for shaft lean and very solid contact lovely shot fine this one I said okay let’s get the forward shaft lean in there I put more forward shaft lean in but I didn’t get
Low lots of forward shaft lean but same height as address how tall I was standing and oh Up and Away oh I can’t reach the ball and skull over look at that baby I just puted it well that’s why when you’re going to hit it lower
Let’s just have a quick peek and I because I know you’re trying this at home folks I know you’re doing it so let’s make sure we have some sense see a difference in posture because I see a ton of difference in posture and from here right wow it’s hard to see but man
And there is clearly a difference in a dress posture check it out the guy’s lower clearly look how low I am now this time I was able to get this golf ball to be super crispy with the Ford shaan without having to worry about taking big divots without having to
Worry about fat because the height of my circle see how high that club is above the ground that UR shers no fat ball deflects the club downward you saw it right there yes did you know that the ball creates the divot it does there you go this one was
High now let’s see because this is one I have some difficulty with to be quite honest he’s trying to hit it high and not leaning backward oh he’s forward love it dunan love it stay there get up oh he did it oh that’s a peach hun Club still above ground
Click there you go and I hit it way off the toe that’s gonna raise the spin rate up okay and this one here was a full-on flop shot aimed way left no it wasn’t a full-on flop shot sorry folks just a high trajectory wait look at that ahead and
Up chipping is not as hard as it looks getting to know where to land it how the ball’s going to react when the ball after the ball lands those are big deals but I need you to make solid contact first and foremost if you could just have a chip anywhere around the
Green let’s say 30 40 yards in in and know that you’re going to not hit way behind it or way deep I believe that you’re going to be a happier golfer you’ll smile better you’ll treat everybody better and you will actually play better and all the rest of the
Skill development can happen all right get after it
