This video reintroduces you to The Law of the Circle and how important the concept is to your short game success: it is tied directly to the quality of your ball contact. And ball contact is the true challenge in short 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 I see all kind of cool things with chipping it’s pretty funny I see people that have Yips I see people that had way behind it they skull the next one and they can’t chip what’s happening is your
Brain is going look it Donan you got no idea where this club is going to hit the ground and until you do I’m going to be afraid of it so what we’re going to talk about are the two main things that influence where the bottom of your swing Arc are
Got it so what kind of fat shot do you have there is a fat shot of moving your swing Circle backward that is this one now I think that you were able to hear that I scraped into it but I’m not sure but we’ll see that one on video in
A second we’re going to compare this to the other kind of fat one so that was the bottom of the Swing Circle moved backward this one I’m going to move the bottom of 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 bulb might have got to my front foot I’m going to show you one more of those some folks do the same thing moving the circle into the ground too deep that’s a goodie hopefully you guys will all recall this number right here
Is the center of our swing Circle bicycle wheel hub if you will and this baby right here is the swing circle 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 K 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 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 you could say that I moved the circle backward but I didn’t folks I move the entire circle actually forward but lower do 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 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 increase 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 sets me up with my circle in front of the golf ball but I can still mess it up 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 shirt 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 a 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 now 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’s the up and around toward the target through the golf ball that move is going to
Change your life as a chipper okay 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
