HOW TO PLAY A CHIP FROM THICK ROUGH

[@rickamato7049]

Chris, I guess I missed this one from the past....I work on my chipping a lot and really have been struggling with the shot out of a thick rough. My fault has been that my hands got ahead of the ball and the ball came off the face to the right (vs down the line). I went to a 60 degree wedge like you said and with the ball slightly back in my stance used my basic chip shot. Much simpler and gave me more confidence. thank you so much!

[@beachfraser3747]

As far as training tips and technique there is no one better than you buddy!

[@martmanize]

Hi Chris, keep up the tips, really helpful, I have a question that you may be able to with, it too is about chipping around the greens, however our course is becoming very wet, this time of year, and I find myself, while chipping, taking deep soggy divots, but not getting the energy into the ball, hence it just flops a few yards in front of me, embarrassed 😞 perhaps you could do a video on wet soggy lies? Thanks Martyn.

[@PD-md7pi]

Easy and simple to understand with ...super stuff.

[@AndyGlavac]

this is a great video and very helpful

[@luisbonilla9491]

Thanks for the tip it is helpful to just get an understanding of what you should be looking for when you're dealing with these type of lies. I work on my short game a ton, but it seems no matter what when I'm on the course playing my round these deep rough shots take it out of me.

[@chriskirk7137]

Thank you for that video, because that is something I have been really struggling with

[@melvinesmith]

Nice vid mate! Thank you!

[@cdub29va]

Great video !

[@kejone50]

Thanks! I have been hoping you would cover this

[@deekay2091]

I needed this so much. Although I find that now in autumn and it being very wet my club digs into the ground almost like a bunker shot. Result is always awkward. Would using a 7-8 iron or hybrid be a choice in the wetter conditions? Thanks!

[@swingeasyguy]

I'd like to see how you play a shot 3 feet off the green in thick rough where the pin is 4 to 5 paces away with the green sloping down towards the hole. those are extremely challenging I find.

[@josephcredendino2899]

Sometimes you’re just absolutely screwed when it comes to having a shot. Even professionals would struggle in that situation to get within gimmie range

[@swingeasyguy]

I have learned both blading it with my 60 or even putting from even fairly deep rough, and practice a lot in this situation. Even the pros wouldn't dare putting, but I try everything!@@josephcredendino2899

[@davehill5539]

Thanks

[@jamesharris184]

Lovely thank you

[@adammcintyre6708]

3.45, is the reason I've found myself here today, thanks I will try this

[@vanillagurilla]

Any tips when the ball is sitting on top of the fluffy stuff around the green?

[@alanmarriott9216]

Do you go with club with highest bounce also if not much between lifts like 60 and 54 degree I have?

[@jamesklapetzky8633]

I prefer to use a 8 or 9 iron using my putting stroke because of not being comfortable using my SW. I'm more comfortable with putting uphill or downhill than thinning or leaving the ball in the rough

[@richdiorio3650]

Do you hinge your wrists at the downswing ?

[@mcfly2727]

Chris can you do some more shot shaping videos with various irons...short and long...

[@harrytopacio5663]

Do you aim a bit left because the club is open?

[@SolomonLi]

Thank you Chris!!! I need this in my life... BTW, can you do a video on downhill bunker lies with little green and lots of green to work with? I know it's random, but playing funky lies like that is the story of my golf journey in this 1st season of playing...

[@xitheu4665]

Solomon Li you really want to create as much loft as possible on those kinds of shots. Take your highest lofted club, open the club face, have the shaft towards your belt buckle and stand with the slope rather than just straight upright. I know I'm not Chris but I hope I can help

[@matthewevans7185]

Hi Chris, Good video. Do you have any drills you can share to help open the lower half before impact? Thanks Matt

[@stevenmclean4250]

Chris found that tip excellent however I seem to struggle when I have a bare lie and very little grass could you please help Cheers

[@starlitshadows]

Does this help if your lie is sitting up as well? Sometimes I end up slicing underneath the ball and it goes no where. What do you do then?

[@aryehgoldbloom6366]

I struggle with bunkers that have a very hard ground often after rain or lack of maintenance or just because the quality of the sand is low so they are packed hard . My ball flies out way to far

[@SatsumaBomb]

Great tip I could shave 5-6 shots off my round doing this

[@Bulldoghartl]

Eliminating the wrist lever is key in executing the proper chip shot

[@markstevens6902]

That is not thick rough. Try 3 inches deep greenside.

[@MoizHaroon]

Chris... how about videos about being stuck behind tree or just at the edge. Another video on where you don’t have a stance to hit the ball .. I find myself stuck under the brush

[@cryptomomentz]

wish i watched this vid before i skulled one over the green tuesday. either way thanks!

[@10scoach33]

Thats not that difficult of a shot cuz you have 15 yds of green to work with, the real difficulty comes when u are in the thick rough and you only hav maybe 3-5 ft of green to work with, then what do u do??????!!!!

[@TimGoulden]

Yes please. Chris...I love your videos and would love to hear your take on this question . I really struggle with this one.

[@vikas376]

you basically need a flop shot of Phil Mickelsen level

[@jacobdean3025]

Pray

[@powmoe4424]

Take your medicine and be ok with a 10-15 footer.

[@amir3992]

Use a hybrid

I would like to see some lessons that would help 66 year old woman with bad arthritis (hands and back) learning to play golf.

[@BeachBow]

I always tell myself "Just get on the green" with these shots. Every time I try to get cute, I always get bit in the butt. JM2C

[@THE_CHOAS_ENGINE]

FYI that is NOT thick rough... at all... not even close

[@bo0bh3ad]

I’ll still top it. 😂

[@ashleywalls4097]

I just came here for the hair.

[@StevenSzewczyk-j1v]

That rough is not thick. That’s a good lie in the northeast

[@Jravens79]

You could’ve made this video in 3 minutes

[@mattthompson1063]

no info on angle of attack and with or without hinge???no value no thanks
