in this lesson I’m going to help you stop hitting chips that look like this one and turn them into perfect little chips that look just like this one and there’s only two little things that you need to get out of your game that are going to make you better around the greens before I share this first tip with you if you haven’t already hit the subscribe button on the channel let’s go and find out how we’re going to play our best golf now I said at the start I want to stop making chips look like the one that we’re going to see here now and there’s a reason why you get those fats those thins the duffs the horrible shots and generally you become very nervous when you stood over a chip like this and like I say two common faults if we fix them we’re going to start chipping really well and they’re so so simple to do as well there are two little drills that I want you to go through and by the end of this lesson you’re going to start chipping it better and when you’re around the green you’re going to feel comfortable which is the big thing so now just to run through what those two things are the cause and the effect of them well when we’re around the green one of the things that we know we want to try and do is elevate the golf ball unless we’re playing a bump and run style shot where we’re trying to get it running like a putter we think well we want to get it up in the air and we want to try and see maybe a little bit of spin maybe on a shot like here the third at Warrington when we have a little bit of undulation up onto the green this adds even more of those problems into the equation because we think well I’ve got to now lift it that’s a common word that lift it up over the problem and the two issues that happen are that as we address the golf ball we could be set up really well we could have our weight leaning towards the target we could have the grip just pressed in front of the golf ball there and we could have every intention of striking ball than turf but as we get into the transition from the back swing to the down swing two things happen firstly again think about trying to lift it our body works back now so if you think in setup my shoulders are slightly tilted down and towards the target in the transition the big change happens where we now tilt the spine away from target and really see the shoulders start to lean up and back away from the target here and that means now that I’m going to bottom out early behind the golf ball i’m either going to catch the ground or I’ll catch the top of the golf ball resulting in that one that goes racing across the green the other thing that we do is all to do with our wrists and again because we’re thinking that we have to lift it up in the air generally we get our most lofted club our 58 our 60 out because that’s the club that we chip with and then from there as we go through we tilt back and then from here we end up thinking well now I’m going back behind the golf ball i’ve got to throw the club head down at the golf ball to make sure I get contact and we see something like this where the wrists start to get into a cup position the lead wrist this is get in a cup position and that adds even more danger in terms of catching the ground early or thinning that golf ball so we end up with those shots that look like that one not great at all but like I said two simple drills that we can do to start to make sure we don’t get those happening so drill number one we’re going to fix that tilt of the shoulders first we’re going to get us from stop leaning back behind the golf ball so much and what we have to do is understand how much weight we actually need on this lead side and it will feel very odd and actually keeping it here the whole time feels a very alien thing to a lot of the students that I teach because we can do it in setup but then as we come into transition and into impact we’ve always got it working back down the trail leg here so it’s real simple this drill all I want you to do it’s nothing revolutionary and you can even chip like this if you want to if you’re willing to take a bit of stick from your mates to start off with but you’re hitting better chips so be it but all I simply want us to do is imagine now we’re going to take our dress to the golf ball you can still use that 60° if you want your most lofted wedge we’re going to make sure that that handle the grip is in front of the golf ball we’re going to see the ball being pretty central here we’re going to lean in so we’re going to feel like we’ve got about 60 70% here but then what I want us to do is take this trail foot and place it back behind us now because literally on there I’m hovering my tip toe onto the ground and what this will do now I will really feel a lot of pressure in this lead thigh here and what also it will do when I shift this trail foot behind me just notice the little movement that my sternum makes as I’m doing this because I’m now shifting more pressure to that lead side it’s moving the sternum in front of the golf ball when we move it back here notice where my sternum’s gone relative to the golf ball now it’s gone behind so real simple set up then just pop this behind and I want you to have some swings where all you’re focusing on here is just keeping all that pressure in that lead side and what you might notice here is where that club is bottoming out it’s just after the golf ball each time i get that nice little brush because now what I’m not doing if I were to go into this position and then do my normal shift I fall out of balance and I’m out of the shot so simple normal setup place that trail foot behind and then from there do this on the chipping green practice green like I say you could do it out on the golf course but just chip one off and see how this feels for how much weight you’ve actually got on the golf ball there oh nearly went in the hole and we’ll take that you could hear the strike it was crisp it was clean and you’ll notice straight away it’s a huge teller if you’re someone who moves back you will straight away fall off it so once you get comfortable with actually being able to withstand all that pressure on that lead side you can then pop that foot back in don’t go excessively open closed we want to be neutral and square and just feel that we keep the same feeling allow that thigh to feel a lot of the pressure as we’re going through and you’ll start to see that you rid yourself of that tilt the second thing that we’re going to do is fix the wrists now what you’re going to have to do if you’re wearing a watch this would be really great you’re going to take a card business card credit card whatever it may be and pop it into your wrist so it just pops out and you can see there little bit like a Spider-Man thing you’ve got a little bit of play in between the wrist and the card when you’ve got a little bit of flexion in your wrist if you start to actually extend it you’ll bow the card so what we want to try and do in this scenario now again once we’ve got a good setup our aim and the drills that we’re doing here are providing feedback to you if you fall on the first one you’re not doing it correctly if you feel that you’re pushing the card out of the way on this one you’re not doing it correctly but what we want to try and do in this scenario now again is take the grip and from here feel that we push the grip in front of the club head so we’ll see this scenario and the card will sit just slightly off our wrist so we’ll look something like this and then again all we want to try and do here through some practice swings just brushing the ground is feel that we keep the back of the hand off the card there so that lead hand what we’re not looking for is that flicking like motion the scooping whatever you want to call it to actually raise the club up and get it flicking into the card as we go through have some practice swings and really exaggerate these as you do these try and find a big gap as you go through from the card and the back of the hand and what we’ll start to see then is that leading edge stays behind the grip and it will get that nice descending blow because you’ve got your weight in the right place now and we get ball and turf if you were to lean back and throw the club head the leading edge comes up it either catches the ground early or you get the equator of the golf ball and it goes out like a rocket so once you’re nice and comfortable with that normal square setup lean it make sure you’ve got the gap and from there try and keep that little bit of distance from it and we start to see that you’re able to pop those little chips out with a nice crisp strike so when we’re confident with it all we tie it all together and it’ll be something that you do down on the practice ground maybe even at home without a golf ball in the back garden just feeling being aware of actually where that pressure is in your lead leg and feeling does the club head feel like it’s actually outracing the hands too much if we just want to hit basic chip shots well we’ve got to do those two things don’t get too wristy and we’ve got to keep that parasia in front of the golf ball if we can do that all of a sudden these standard little chip shots become very comfortable to us and we start to hit loads of nice little shots just like that one and from there you will become a really good chipper guys I hope that has helped you if you haven’t already make sure you’ve hit the subscribe button don’t miss any future lessons that are going to help you improve your game give us a like and why not watch a little video here about some mistakes that you might be making out on the course that could drop you loads of shots

I need a golf ⛳️ partner please!♥️
I literally worked with my wife on this yesterday. It was night and day by the time we finished.
This is why he’s so bad at chipping. Don’t follow this advice. Follow Dan Grieve instead.
