Ex-Tour Player - SIMPLE Wedge Game Explained

[@philagnew810]

Fantastic dan !!loved that ! So relateable and so much for us mere mortals to grab a hold of ! Chris by the way ,what a down to earth lovely bloke he is !! Great vid boys !!❤❤

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

Great insight into the teachings of Chris Gill, always a pleasure to see and hear more pearls of his wisdom.

[@stuartmcinnes2903]

Body’s an engine, belly button to target, loads of great things to think about other than ‘hitting’ the ball.

[@pilquin]

Such good advice this!!! he is spot on. I find it helps if I use a putting grip chipping. might be wrong but works for me

[@davidballard9781]

I think what Chris has just explained was very on point and simple. While I’m no coach or teacher have have to agree that you should make it as simple as possible,so you can repeat,repeat,repeat,the more you complicate things to harder it is to repeat. I’ve always loved playing around with clubs and using the same simple swing,and leaning of swinging with different clubs obviously can change distances and the how high the ball can go. If I’m playing a 30yrd I will often take my 52 and play a longer and lower shot. But again I love to test myself just keep it simple

[@tylerlove2052]

His move is very much like Stricker or Jason Day, and last I checked their short games were pretty good! Glad he said weight central. The weight on the left side idea just doesn’t work for me at all. Totally agree with having fewer variables, especially when you don’t play much like me. Really enjoyed this Gilly and Dan!

[@oldgippersuk3887]

Top quality Dan. Gilly is a master of his craft and he explains it all so well. Love the simplicity aspect. You can never have enough Gilly in your life.

[@charliesmithers7663]

Excellent Dan. More of these please. Cheers for the expert knowledge Gilly Presley

[@aussienads]

10/10 fellas! 💪

[@markwanner3633]

Wonderful, clear explanation here. I’ve had the chipping yips lately, too often making a wristy slap at the ball. Forward lean, rotation, solid, simple … I know what I’ll be working on.

[@AlanHughes-s4o]

Once again another super video, Chris explains his techniques for chipping and pitching in a simple way. I have learnt a lot from this. Many thanks

[@scotlint9246]

Thanks for the informative video enjoyed this very much

[@beachfraser3747]

For me the game is all about shortgame, this was superb, implemented immediately cheers Gilly!!

[@timackland5411]

Brilliant. I have improved so much from understanding the need to turn through chips and pitches keeping the hands quiet. Great from Gilly, he keeps it simple and speaks in relevant terms. More please.

[@samprince1653]

I liked the instruction, this is coming from someone struggling with this part of my game. The point with any of these instructional golf (youtube or lessons) is 'practice' to instill confidence in the technique. Practice is sometimes hard to find the time outside of just turning up on the course and 'giving it a go' and hoping it clicks first time.

[@ianwhite8681]

Superb simple advice been neglecting short game just got back from practicing very happy

[@100geomar]

Super lesson lads. Thank you. 🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@garrywhite468]

Simplified and easy to understand what Chris is telling you ….. 👍

[@edwinswart2398]

Thanks Dan and Gilly, this is really good!

[@dominicclarkgolf4924]

Best short game lesson on youtube👌. Puts Paddy's tips into submission😂. Honestly awesome work chaps, really helped me get it. 👌

[@samprince1653]

I liked this video - this coming from someone who has been struggling with this part of my game recently. I think, as with any kind of instruction, practice in honing the technique is key. Just rocking up on the course and hoping it clicks will not instill the missing component most 'sufferers' need to have in order to apply it successfully and that is 'confidence'. Thanks, I'll be giving it a go for sure.

[@VerityEddy-ov9nz]

Gilly is an absolute legend 👌🏼

[@davidm7031]

That’s was really great and straightforward instructional video 👍🏻

[@andrewpoupart6729]

Very interesting stuff, always a pleasure to see Gilly on the channel. Just a bit surprised that a video regarding chipping you didn't bring in Lester 😂😂😂 (sorry Bernie, couldn't resist)

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

He chipped in on his first shot on the last video we did on Chipping with Lester 😂

[@rolfvandulst1605]

Great video Dan, you asked all the questions I would have asked. Cheers Gilly

[@joecook8352]

Sounds like Chris uses a hinge and hold method like Phil Mickelson who’s also known for a fantastic short game, it has always worked for me, great to have Christopher giving us some insight

[@chrishughes8256]

Great video Dan,Gill explains it so well,the word simplified makes it easier for us mere mortals to understand. One question does he change anything for links ,bare lies ,or does he think this will work on any lie. Keep up the great videos Dan

[@chrisgill5883]

Lies etc are a separate area. Reading it and using the correct club, bounce etc are key.

[@chrishughes8256]

@chrisgill5883 Cheers Chris thanks for the reply 👍

[@mikemcgowan1]

Nice vid. Good lesson there gilly, I'll have to try that next time I get out on the course

[@petersquires4168]

Great video,great advice and skill from Chris. Thanks boys 👍

[@gerrykelly2440]

Chris has a great swing, he makes it look simple.

[@michaeldiguglielmo7324]

Thanks Gilly and Dan . Simple but super advise 👍🇦🇺

[@H_Jef_876]

Great video chaps. Making things so simple is such an art. I really liked the demo then follow up from Dan. Certainly something I can work with.

[@jphil3174]

Great information. I just had a lesson which confirms exactly what was said on the video.

[@pan0568]

Fantastic. Thanks!

[@simonthorpe6971]

Wow, Gilly has nailed that completely, for someone who has created variables in all walks of life, golf no exception, this is absolute gold. Takes away stress, is simple to perform, and it plain works. Golf is tough enough anyway, why make it harder. So pleased you added this Dan. Does Gilly use the same body rotation technique for his main swing too or is this purely for chipping and pitching? Hope to see more of Gilly's tips on channel in 25

[@billdunlop8683]

Thanks for the fantastic video Dan and Chris, I absolutely soak this type of teaching into my practice routines, Something I can do in the off season indoors.

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Excellent explanation and demonstration of chip and pitch shots. Good to see Gilly on the channel and he, definitely, has a very good short game. Cheers.

[@glennpalmer4672]

Great video Dan, something for me to practice with, would love to see some more practice session with Gilly and maybe Paul if available

[@DavidJones-ko8gp]

Love a bit, or even a lot, of Gilly

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

Great video gents - as I get more into the winter range sessions, l am going to try these nuggets of wisdom & see if I can get some improvement in strike

[@huttboynz4422]

Great tips Gilly!

[@nigelfrancis6350]

That action does work for a lot of people but I have tried that method but it doesn't work for me. I find that if you use the left hand to cock the wrists slightly on the way back you get the perfect angle to strike the ball on the follow through as long as you keep turning.

[@ianglover940]

Fantastic coach from Gilly. Well done !!

[@craig3775]

Excellent video Dan 🏌️👍🎄

[@nevilleconnery]

Quality system, similar to the short game chef. Loved this video.

[@wayneowens1649]

Hi Dan my question is does Gilly use the same chipping or pitching technique in the bunker 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@chrisgill5883]

Bunkers are a very different animal. Set up, weight distribution and using the wedge correctly.

[@jamesbrewster733]

Awesome Gilly. Keep us simple

[@brianhedges6877]

Dan, anything happening in the members space this time of year ? It's been awfully quite for a while.

[@kevinjeffery1865]

I enjoyed that 😊

[@andybibby4091]

Also to same the spin in the 7iron at 5k is low isnt true because its relative to the low loft......

[@davidmceneaney1038]

It’s crazy how two great coaches can have completely opposite philosophy with short game. Dan grieves would disagree with the majority of this lesson. Golf is the best

[@stevefurniaux9978]

Whoa,whoa, whoa, I've spent the last 10 years hearing everyone say forward shaft lean is the devil when pitching/chipping, it exposes the leading edge and removes the bounce, what's all this "we must have shaft lean" business ?

[@martinwilliams4759]

Makes it look so simple if only it was

[@johndorenski4127]

Dan Grieve ' chipping is good but I think a bit too elaborate for us mere mortals whereas Chris' way is much more consistent and easier to apply once you have the 'knack'.......simples...🌟🎊🤩🥳

[@jaypeegolf]

Love this but not comfortable with the excessive shaft lean. Doesn’t that take all the bounce out of the equation? 😧

[@chrisgill5883]

It’s not excessive shaft lean, it was to show that you have to have positive shaft lean and not negative shaft lean. That’s what causes poor contact in my opinion.

[@jaypeegolf]

@@chrisgill5883 Thanks Chris. I follow Dan Grieve and this appears to be contrary to his mantra hence my question. He promotes a much more neutral shaft position. Perhaps my suggestion that it was excessive was a stretch. 👍

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

​@@jaypeegolfthere is a difference between the two styles of chipping, Chris's style is like the Phil Mickelson style which is often referred to as the hinge and hold method, Dan teaches a more release type of method, but they are both very connected, using the bigger muscles to control and turn.

[@dr7194]

This lesson seems to be the complete opposite of what is taught by Dan Grieve. Are these two different approaches just situation dependent?

[@DoctorRalphBugelmein]

There’s many ways to skin a cat

[@chrisgill5883]

Some coaches teach different ways. Depends on the pupil. This video is for a generic Good short game.

[@markscott3267]

Agreed. For me Chris’ approach whilst prefaced as simple it’s actually been described in a rather complicated way. Personally I think how Dan Grieve teaches short game makes loads of sense.

[@markscott3267]

@@chrisgill5883 understood Chris.

[@jg__golf]

Dan grieve has managed to explain short game to the masses by the 3 release patterns he talks about, its not a groundbreaking technique however his an amazing teacher. Chris was a tour player and if you look and almost any great short game player the arms stay connected to the chest and the main thing is to rotate through so that the sternum faces target. Luke donald is/was one of the best in the world at this for a very long time. Dont get drawn into what release you need to play, start understanding the shot in front of you, the lie etc and with good technique the shot can be executed.

[@BeachBow]

There's no such thing as a 'simple' wedge shot. Too many variables are involved. Lie, shot distance, weather, and as if that wasn't enough, how does the golfer feel at that point in time. That's why, even more that any of the other clubs, wedge shots are the most complicated. And they should be the most practices along with putting. But most golfers just buy a large bucket and blast away with the driver. JM2C
