Chipping Vs. Pitching

[@DSGrewal3]

why this video is better than all the other tutorials. because he’s straight to the point and he shows you an example instead of talking for 30 minutes and then shooting a ball. He is clear, and to the point. good video

[@surprisevisitor2000]

Albert Einstein said no matter how complicated the subject, you only truly understand it if you can explain it to a 5-year old. Logan definitely succeeded here. I was looking for a simple contrast between these two techniques, and this is a great explanation and demo of the two different shots. Well done, thanks a lot!

[@LukeL685]

I have been searching for this for awhile. Loud and clear. Best explanation on this subject on KZbin so far.

[@tntkop]

Here's a pointer to clarify a part of your instruction: explain why we hit chip shots with an open stance. Here's why we do that: When we hit a regular shot, out hips and shoulders are rotating through the shot and getting out of the way so our arms & hands can also get through. When we hit a chip shot, we do not rotate our hips or shoulders, but our arms & hands still need to be able to get through the shot, otherwise our shots will go to the right. So, we open our stance in order to clear our hips, which allows us to now hit through the shot and keep in on our target line. I often hear instructors tell beginners to open their stance, but they don't tell them WHY. Once they understand the WHY, they understand the shot better. Great video. Glad to see a young person with great teaching skills. Good luck and play well!

Excellent comments

[@tingfact]

Very well done. Love it when viewers think they know more on every subject. Your approach is concise and clear. Thanks

[@phillipcooley8244]

Excellent instruction on chipping and pitching. This has been the most beneficial I have seen.

[@kadianpusher]

Logan, Got a 13 year old that responded better to your video than my in person lessons. This is the part of the game he struggles with the most. Well, that and putting. He can crush a drive and is solid with his irons. But get him 20 yards from the green and it all falls apart. The video helped him and helped me to understand what he's doing wrong. Heck, I didn't know their was a difference in a chip or pitch myself. Thanks, and do more videos. You can teach!

[@sameyeare]

very concise and to the point, exactly what i need so i don't over- think it on the course. Chip = short air time Pitch = longer air time

[@GoldenUmassJoe]

Logan, One of the better descriptions of the proper technique. Tx, Joe Ouellette

[@rajramjit1755]

I see a lot of videos but you have a direct style that gets to the point quickly and efficiently without too much fluff. I would have liked slow motion replays after each shot. You simplified this dilemma that most weekend players grapple with, chipping vs pitching. Thank you so much, I subscribed.🙌

[@TimFlaherty]

Short and Sweet..my brain can process these two lessons.

[@kellymeriesons6630]

me too some great tips here, there is a how to break 80 guide on golfjig.com that goes well with these tips I wold recommend

[@randylange]

Great video, Logan. Simple and easy to follow. Shows the main differences between these shots. Thx!

[@GeorgeWaninger]

thanks for the free tips via youtube! i know nothing is as good as actually taking some lessons on the course, but you are the man for providing the next best thing!

[@oberschultz60]

Thanks you ..it's really helped me..very good video and technic of shooting ball.I can tell you are better than so many older guys who try to explane those shot..Thx. Greetings from Canada!

[@marionfreer1744]

Enthusiastic in showing the skills and technique of the shots. Anything that gives me more confidence, I take note of.

[@kevinkline116]

This is the best video by far on this subject. I hope you do some more! Mid-irons are my biggest weakness!

[@Rus.golfer]

Absolutely priceless lesson from the Real Pro!!!

[@joshuadavis8277]

i watch this video all the time, has definitely helped me improve.

[@jessicanorthcutt4542]

Excellent instruction, clear and easy to follow! Thanks.

[@johnkarpus]

Logan, thanks. Really helped, since I skulled em alot. An hour in the yard and I've got some touch!! Best vid I've seen on the subject. Make some more!!

[@potlemac1]

Great instructional video Logan. Helped me tremendously with my chipping. Thanks.

[@AnishPB]

worked for me... thank u.. been struggling with the 60 degree!! kept fatting it.. till i realised i was un hingin my wrists on the down swing too.. thanks Logan!

[@danielpalanza1466]

Logan, Good work! Interesting comments! Chipping is clearly defined technique. Pitching you gave a good example, as any that know the game, there are many opinions about shots and technique. You cover good fundamental points.

[@MrPortrushman]

Logan, Thanks very much for a very helpful video. The weakest part of me game is chipping and pitching. Your video was well explained and you showed the ball flight as well. Thanks

[@Irwhodunit]

During my last round I gave up about 8 strokes just hitting these two shots fat, behind the ball: "weight forward" is what I learned; and narrow stance; limited wrist. Thanks!

[@LJV3NOM]

ball placed at the back of stance of the pitch shot so you can hit down onto the ball and make it fly upwards!

[@Irwhodunit]

That works, I know. But the sentence would defy logic for somebody who doesn't play golf. Hitting DOWN to make something go UP just doesn't register. With Texas soil being so soggy (June 2016) hitting DOWN on a ball can mean bury in mud. Good video. Thanks.

[@keithrice6584]

Good video.You explained the two shots very well.Makes sence as to what club to use as well as the set up and arm and shoulder movement .

[@cashmab]

Great video and very clearly presented. This is just how I was taught to chip and pitch when I was a teenager many years ago.

[@tonysterling8688]

I m a true beginner and it did help me this morning on the range , thanks

[@mrpcarey2000]

a very good demonstration od good chipping and pitching.......thanks Logan

[@golfgirlt1217]

Hey Logan ~ watched this video again before I went out to play. It was a good refresher of the tips you gave me during my mini lesson and definitely helped my short game! :)

[@eamonnmartin3704]

chip shot worked very well for me,cant believe how easy it was, thanks

[@methodicaljuan]

Thanks for breaking it down for me. I really appreciate it! Keep up the good work!

[@user-pw9gz9cg5t]

Great video! Thank you Logan. I have to say, I've never understood these losers, and that's exactly what they are, that put a thumbs down on this video and others. The guy is a golf PRO! Which to me commands a lot of respect, because golf is a very hard sport/game. And, these videos are FREE! There will always be that group of idiots out there, I just hope they don't deter people like Logan from putting out these great educational videos for people like me who really appreciate it!

[@stephenraymore4545]

I would like to say thank you. This has been a real trouble spot for me since I started playing almost a year ago. This morning I watch your video and later on in the day I played a round of golf. I shot a 88 on a course that I normally shoot a 120. I guess that can tell you how much I needed you help with pitching and chipping. THANKS!!. Now I need some help with my driver.

[@lovetogolf4184]

You need help with your Driver??

[@MrDambler77]

Nice and easy to follow..thanks very much Logan..this has been a big help!

[@timhankins3436]

Really nicely done and easy to understand.

[@paulgriffin3520]

direct and to the point and explains everything in plain english, can you do something on how to draw your driver. thanks

[@LearnHowToPlayGolf]

Hey, you did a good job in this instructional video.

[@vaughanchapman2930]

Thanks so much. Really helpful video, was battling but this made things a lot easier to grasp

[@busa89]

ahhhhhh ok. I was struggling with chipping and pitching last week on the course. I was told to keep straight arms but nobody told me how to line up on the ball and it felt completely awkward the entire time. Thanks for breaking this down.

[@Suitedup1111]

Thanks, my man! I'm gonna devote a lot of time with your tips in mind.

[@weishen9009]

Best video on golf online!

[@One_way_ticket2799]

Simple but effective. Thanks Logan!

[@TheIEvon]

great video, really helped me a lot. never really took the time to distinguish between the two like you said.

[@goatman67al]

Awesome Tips Logan!! Keep the videos coming..

[@urbancavedude]

No, not new, just click mostly "play", Learned something new today. Thanks

[@scottmcg666]

Thanks for this, I'm gonna work on them both this weekend, hopefully get a few more up and downs.

[@JayZoop]

And always, always accelerate through the shot. Never decelerate.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Also, never insert the grip into your rectum.

[@fairviewles]

Can't wait to try both tomorrow! This IS my problem - always blasting the ball too far or way too short.

[@SatsumaBomb]

Thanks Logan, good explanation on the short game; plus I've never used my 9 Iron near the green. I will now though. Cheers mate

[@SittichaiChuathai]

this vid is really good! it helps me differentiate between the two very clearly! thanks so much sir!

[@woolstonian]

Yup, nicely done. A personable and articulate presenter.

[@bsmith7718]

Should the pitch shot run out, or check up???

[@keithrice6584]

Good lesson.Something simple and effective.

[@Sonors7]

Thanks for the video. Well demonstrated!

[@dianeanderson905]

Great tips; I'm a beginner and these tips helped me a lot. Thanks!

[@RyFly321]

wow great man video, the only problem with it is that I watched it in the middle of winter and now I wanna golf!! haha.

[@tessey119]

Important tip when filming golf strokes, its useful to also see bottom half of body ALL the time

[@sergekitu]

Fantastic simple tutorial.

[@fevrish]

I really liked this video because you backed away from the camera to demonstrate flight of the ball. Most or many others do not let you see flight of the ball.

[@john1942100]

Good lesson, even the snot-wipe down the left trouser leg. Just kidding! Loved the video lesson. Thanks Logan :-)

[@Blomm11]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing Logan!

[@23v0lv32]

Great vid. Relaxed not to formal..just straight up no bullshit info. Thanks man

[@dereshennaidu6192]

Thank you so much for this amazing video. Very helpful.

[@boltont1996]

finished up 7 shots better off after watching this video, cheer's mate!

[@garystrickland65]

ABSOLUTELY GREAT INSTRUCTION. Thank You.

[@Mr.Steve-O]

good tip ! I believe is won from 100 yards in - master both of these shots will help anyone

[@lugwalder]

Nice tips here, will try theses out next time on the range, I certainly need to improve my short game, at the moment it's awful.

[@johnmac62]

During the talk, you say play the ball between your feet. However in the demo, it looks like the ball is even with or maybe behind your back foot. The part of where to put your weight was very helpful

[@yandihermawan3572]

good tips , it is pretty clear ,I am going to apply the tips in my exercise, thanks

[@boyu4617]

fantastic video. very educational. thank you!!

[@edsfarm1]

My pitch shots have been so much better since I watched this video.

[@pd9971]

Good technique but you MUST make sure that the club face stays square the entire time with no hand or wrist manipulation! Keep the club head square for for good chipping consistency and you'll be a much better chipper of the golf ball!

[@atulgoolrukh]

superb tips...extremely useful

[@RT-rx2xx]

Thanks for sharing ! The part about maintaining the angle is something I have been feeling but didn't fully understand the how's of the what, the lead elbow is text book Ben hogan would surely approve

[@AluminumTrader]

Kinda funny but this guy could pass for Bill Murray's son. That's a great thing! Good job bro.

[@sanimadon06]

Good job pro...it really helps improves my scores.

[@jpcompetello]

Thanks a lot. Very clear and hopefully will help me.

[@alsaints]

Nice simple instructions thanks

[@fabricejaouen4252]

Keep it simple stupid is the best way to teach and you perfectly succeeded. Great video

[@johntohara]

Excellent and clear... Thank you !

[@dh05z28]

Called the pitch a chip shot @ 4:30 :-D Great instruction all the same.

[@Colanolan123]

The only thing I believe you could do better with this video is to show the pin too, It's just fun to see whether it lands close or has any bite etc. I'm sure most players watch their shots near the green until it stops :)

[@milancodes]

thanks for this, it was a big help to my game.

[@slatt331967]

No, it is not so important that we don't see the flag. He cares about teaching you the correct technique, so it's not that important. It really doesn't matter where the ball ends up as long as u understand the methods.

[@johnnybo812]

Short l, sweet and simple, tnx so much. I know this will be beneficial.

[@nooretautaya]

Hi, great video. Is there any tips to improve swinging whilst keeping in plane?

[@malelee21]

Thanks for the instruction. As for chipping using 90 degree arm angle, how much of a distance is it effective without using a full swing?

[@matsui189]

That's the outer angle, he's pointing at the inner angle with his right hand, which went from pi+2*n*pi to pi/2+2*n*pi. It decreased. :)

[@RickMartinYouTube]

good explanation..thanks logan.......

[@mrrockerjim]

Thanks Logan! Kept it nice and simple

[@Bennettb12]

Great instructional - Thanks!

[@pdga3791]

Her: then you hit the sweet spot. 10% of all the shots pro makes are those type of shots. Ok, so I am at 5% now and this is my first lesson ever. 3 days later I played my first tournament and it was team play(4 players in a group and we took the best ball from the 4 of us. 9 holes and they took 7x my drive and played one hole(par 3) all by myself. 30 teams and we got tied for 4th. A week later she let me play on the course by myself...I love this game!

[@jbg71384]

Very good tips!!

[@luismejia7586]

what up logan very good tips. how is everyting

[@pdillon68]

Thank you, tournament tomorrow, haven't played in a year.
