BACK TO BASICS - CHIPPING 2/5

[@GregoryKarlovits]

I suddenly found myself in a chipping rut and getting "back to basics" was an excellent reset point. This video is great for anyone learning or fixing their chip.

[@sebastiendube1289]

the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of that serie are ones of the best videos I have seen and helping me.

[@TheMegansdad]

Very helpful series. Really, really appreciate how you blend the golfers view and feel into your lessons. Prevents second guessing. Keep them coming.

[@michaelwalsh7753]

This handle movement v wrist flick was like a slap in the face. Improved my contact and consistency within 5 shots. Incredibly simple. Thank you very much

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Michael glad it helped 👍

[@MrAliefizzani]

Shaved plenty of shots off my game by finally accepting that this method is the best way to go around the course with minimal practice. Not everyone has the time to develop that high lofted shot. Great to see you are highlighting this simpler method Chris!

[@scottobrien6465]

Nice work Chris, this video had everything I was looking for: - great graphics that really showed me what you were talking about - multiple flags to aim at - love the idea of using the one swing and simply use different clubs (tools) to get different results This is my new "go too" video for chipping, great stuff!

[@sharonsong332]

I've watched this lesson several times before and I thought I understood the concept. I decided to makes notes today while watching again and realized the large volume of instruction this lesson possessed. Thank you so much Chris for such detailed and precise instructions!!

[@midgeholloway8035]

Best pitching video lesson I have ever watched, great job!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@danielgalan2321]

Best tutorial on chipping and it even comments on some little but important justifications for what to ignore, and many of the why’s for chipping.

[@leighd5017]

One setup and one swing is the easiest way to approach these knee knocker chips. Thanks for the refresher course!!

[@garrymeads8441]

Chris, love your instruction. Very succinct and thorough. This a good one to watch and practice every once in a while to keep you focused on the right things. Thanks

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Garry 👍

[@mvwhity]

THIS IS IT! Thank you for your effort. I am wondering If you can also show different ball positions in the rough and fairway, uphill, downhill, sloping left and right, obstacle in front. We only see videos how to swing, but very rare videos from the environment of the course. Regards Wolfgang

[@davidmarsh9311]

Cant wait to try this. I really like the back to basics approach

[@stuartgibson6204]

Good video Chris. Time to get to the course and practice your tips.

[@jimjutras665]

Great lesson .I learn so much from Cris about using different chipping clubs off the edge of the green... i I always thought one should use the same club I can' t wait to use these tips on the practice green..ss we say in French..merci beauvoup Chris!!!!

[@MaccaWelland36]

Chris. Great series. Im a fairly experienced 15 handicapper but will be taking a lot from these. Ive also shared these with a friend who has just started golf. Appreciate the effort involved in making these.

[@scottsagerdahl5197]

Thanks Chris! You have the gift of teaching. Very informative and intuitive.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Scott appreciate that 👍

[@darcaleedebogorski6076]

I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@saifqureishi]

Wonderful tips and advice. Thank you Chris

[@grahamgodsell5304]

Thanks Chris, came across this video and have seen vastly improved chips! Would never have thought about the feet position, but this made dramatic changes.👍🏼

[@jimsaddler942]

This is a great video Chris! I am a 9 handicap, but looking this year to improve my chipping around the green. In the past, I always used a 54 or 58 degree wedge, but now I am experimenting with different clubs (like your video suggests) and finding success with it!

[@terryweller2412]

Good video with great instruction. My dad taught me this technique back in the 50s. Glad it's still being taught today.

[@shep1582]

Chris thank you. I used your elegant explanation today and couldnt miss - so much more simple & easy - saved four strokes yesterday at least. Cheers!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hey Stephen that’s awesome, glad it’s helped 👍

[@simonthorpe6971]

Fantastic, been looking for simple options to aid confidence! Best instruction I have seen, cheers Chris

[@johncreet1254]

Another great video, Chris. I already knew much of this, but your explanations of why you do all these things were exceptionally useful to me. For me, understanding is a key part of playing golf. Without understanding you have to memorise everything - which is a bit like "playing by numbers". Thanks. I look forward to the rest of the series.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks John glad you liked the video

[@garyreilly1544]

Very good instruction, easy to understand. Thanks Will watch the rest of the series.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Gary

[@chrisbarrett3781]

Great video Chris, straightforward guidance that I can really use, hopefully it will improve my scoring :)

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Chris

[@haroldhill5055]

Awesome and clear explanation regarding chip shots. Finally, the secret to good chipping unlocked. Back out on the course tomorrow with new ammunition. Thank you!

[@kerolchan8561]

Another great video! Always clear and precise, thanks 🙏🏼 👍🏼

[@alansanderson2319]

Great video, favourite one of the series so far

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Alan 👍

[@scruffymcmuffin9441]

New to golf and this helped answer so many of my chipping questions which usually give me the yips and frustrate the heck out of me

[@steveperkins6308]

Great Lesson in Chipping Chris. Thanks

[@andylorna1950]

This is where I really fall down, duffing the shot, opening up the club face, you name it. Got some great pointers now and will let you know how it goes. Thanks.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Andy, hope it helps 👍👍

[@Shipwreck15151]

There better not be a single thumbs down for this video! Top notch stuff right here!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks and glad you liked 👍

[@joseruivo8982]

HAS I EXPECTED VERY GOOD, IT'S LIKE A IN PERSONAL LESSON, CHRIS YOU ARE THE GREATEST, GREAT VIDEO.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Jose

[@Seactor]

Yep. Very clear and concise. Maith agat.

[@dianespengler7787]

I was working with my teaching pro today on the very same thing you have here. Very helpful. Thanks

[@hlubmos2chah945]

Well explained and detailed tips! Thanks.

[@johncraven6367]

After a poor day's chipping yesterday I will be practicing this method Thanks Chris

[@montedog01]

Thanks Chris I love the way you teach

[@adrianpennington-sharp7958]

Once again excellent, now I have more to my arsenal, thanks Chris.

[@MrTotte79]

This was probably one of the best instructional videos about chipping that I've seen. I really like the easiness of it. I tend to make it much more complicated than it really is.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks appreciate that 👍👍

[@松田もしくろす]

Extremely good for me as a beginner. Currently chip shots are about all I can do above putting. Luckily, my favorite golf course has a very excellent practice area with three greens and some hills in between. The grass varies considerably allowing me to get a good feel for what it will be like when I am cut loose and one day play a half round.

[@martingray8350]

I’ve learnt more in watching this one video than I did from a paid pro lol. Thanks I’m sold 👍🏽

[@billhay9800]

Baby duck

[@edjonesmd]

Really enjoying your lessons Chris.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Ed

[@fr.paulb.9354]

Very very helpful. As a follow up video I would like to see you chip over bunkers.

[@renmay3171]

Love this method, resembles the Paul Runyon “Rule of 12”. You just don’t go into the ratios. Just having to learn how to hit a target 4 or 5 yards away and let it run out is much easier than hitting a lofted wedge halfway to the hole.

[@ainedimascio1984]

Super video Chris. Learning loads. Now just ha e to put it into action!!!!

[@philippawilson4950]

A clear and simple explanation of chipping, which I can now put into practice. Thank you.

[@matthewwentzel4643]

Im loving your channel man! And these back to basic videos are great, cant wait for the rest of them. I never ever looked at chipping this way. Like yoi said, Ive been chipping with one club making fuller swings which I can agree is so risky. So thanks you have opened my mind.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Matthew glad your liking the vids 👍

[@markkirk3049]

Hi Chris, great technique using as a standard, I am no longer scared of the short chips 5-10yds off the green

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Mark glad the videos have helped

[@richardnicholson9016]

Thanks chris. Explained nice and easy for us high handicappers👍

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Richard

[@janaGolfer]

Thanks so much Chris - tried this today and transformed my chipping. I realised that I was trying to keep my hips too still, which resulted in toe-y right shots

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks and really glad it helped 👍

[@grahamhumphreys21]

Thanks Chris. This has reminded me of what I have been doing wrong. Feet two far apart. Nor upright enough.

[@jamescraven1781]

I'll be practicing this. Nice Job! Thanks

[@jazheer3480]

Very interesting, very good tips. thanks Chris

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Jaz 👍

[@MovementLifestyleHQ]

Another great video. Loving this back to basics series!

[@jirasakmalaengpoothong8663]

Thanks for great advice.

[@ezrider405]

Excellent video and instruction as usual.....

[@724riff]

that is great advice . but as a long time golfer who used to walk and now rides I have to admit when I walked a round of golf you can see the contour of the green and you also have 14 clubs right next to you to choose from , and now that I ride its awfully hard especially with the increase of green speeds to take the right clubs and especially if you want to keep a good pace of play .

[@72sssidhu]

Really good video on chipping 😀😀

[@ann-christinedyrland474]

Thank-you Chris😀 I am going out to practice chipping on a semi rainy day here in Norway. Hilsen AC

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hope the video helps

[@edwardbrown6901]

Helpful tech on chipping ..thanks

[@mbillmiller1]

Chris, fantastic instruction! Question, if you were going at a very close pin, say 5-7 yards total with 2-3 yards of carry, (and grass not good for putting) would you chip with your 60 or would you pitch with your 60? THANKS !!

[@billneier1687]

This is the best video on the basics of chipping I've seen, and I've seen a lot of them. Most of Chris's videos are a little too wordy though. Nevertheless, thank you Chris. Good job.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Bill, my coaching style does tend to include a more detailed explanation, guess it’s just the way I coach 👍👍

[@terrencedavis9929]

I am thankful for more dialogue as there will always be questions as folks try to understand the lesson.

[@jamestailyour7348]

Really helpful... making me realise my mistakes.

[@povrtsux1]

Very good. Thanks!

[@lovetogolf4184]

Great lesson Chris!!

[@petergroves9579]

Yes very helpful Chris, well I think so, just need to put it into my game!!!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Peter 👍

[@grahamhumphreys21]

Chris, never thought of using a different club. Could have used a 7 iron the other day. Thanks Chris

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Graham 👍

[@claritylifestylefinancialp9869]

Top video! Great instruction.

[@MrMattorge]

Great. I nominate pitching for one video in this series please!!!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Matthew but the vids have all been filmed now, unfortunately pitching wasn’t in there, sorry

[@mick19421]

Nice one Chris, very useful series and up to your normal high standard of instruction.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Mick

[@pasilifarani4458]

Clearly demonstrated, Thank You

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@juanbotha6634]

Hi Chris. What is the impact in raising the club handle? Do you need to compensate?

[@nathanwarner4333]

Very good info Thank You

[@doc2196]

Good info and very useful

[@rhondamesnick8284]

I have taken 10 strokes off my game! Your videos rock!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Wow that’s awesome! Keep it up 👍👍

[@anthonybennett4274]

hi Chris I've already tried this and can see the benefits of the stroke but struggling with distance control at the moment but i'll keep plugging along

[@DIMON-D3B]

Add the clock method 4to8 3to9, etc.... measure the resulting distance then 3per.

[@georgiewalker1069]

Great tips here, thank you Chris

[@randymahony8157]

Excellent video and explanation, I have trouble here like most golfers.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Randy

[@gregoryfaulkner5140]

Excellent! Really helpful.

[@martinblackmore4515]

This is great. My coach is trying to get me to use a 60 degree wedge and use the linear approach to shots like this. I am not comfortable with this approach but he is pretty dismissive of a chip and run technique. I struggle with chipping and this method looks much less risky. Would you agree and what would you do in my position with my coach. BTW he has been great on the full swing.

[@richthegolferbod3793]

Great vid :)

[@paulbarbtomlinson]

Chris - can a golfer use left hand low (like in putting) when chipping; some instructors say chipping is like a putting stroke

[@mickeyonee]

Chris.....I use hybrids (sand wedge thru a 3 hybrid) is there any change in technique when using these clubs? Thanks.

[@mrfibo7301]

Hi, Thanks, You're the best ... x

[@tomblanton8276]

Hey Chris, any idea why I would hit the occasional hosel rocket when I chip ?

[@andrewforcier]

Excellent. I never considered lower lofted clubs with a similar swing! Would you consider that landing zone to always be the same even if, say, the hole is uphill? Thanks again, Chris!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Andrew, the landing zone can change depending on the situation, as can the club and flights, just a case of reading the situation and making good decisions 👍

[@jlepp]

Cheers .. helpful af

[@chasebarbe263]

What do you think about Phil Mickelson's chipping method of hinge and hold, majority of you weight on your lead side, etc.?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hey Chase, he certainly does it pretty well!!! In my opinion he uses a technique that requires a lot of skill and doesn’t have much margin for error, being so good he can pull these off every time. I tend to coach a method which I believe is mire usable for the average golfer, but if his method works then I wouldn’t be against it 👍

[@georgegonczarek2501]

Thanks. I use a chipping iron based on the putter style of club depending on the lie and distance. I feel I have ,more control. I also use it to pitch from 90 mtrs out. It works sometimes. How do I overcome my biggest problem: the guts 2 hit to the hole or past it when chipping .What do u think?

[@johnhodgson180]

Very clear explanation

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks John

[@travissawicky]

Thanks, Chris!! What about this same shot, but in rough? I find some times there's too much grass in between the club and ball and I fail to make clean contact. Any simple suggestions?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hi Travis, I would try to steepen the approach to the ball, so move the ball a little back and ensure the handle and sternum are more ahead of the ball, adjust loft accordingly as ball will come out lower abs roll more 👍

[@travissawicky]

ChrisRyanGolf Thanks, Man!! Now... if I can only figure out how to hit my 4 and 5irons more efficiently then I'd be golden! 😂

[@tonygostelow711]

Great video. I was doing it all wrong, standing wrong, hitting too hard, off to the course to practice. TG

[@TonyHammer61]

Would you change what club you use in winter/summer when the greens are softer/firmer?

[@tangocharlie9291]

Is it ok to stand very close on ALL my irons? It's how I'm most in control / relaxed.

[@christiankenworthy761]

Great lesson

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Christian 👍👍
