How to Fix the Chipping Yips

[@banditbaker1675]

As ever Larry thanks for some clear and concise drills

[@philrainey805]

This drill makes a big difference for me, 4 rounds of golf and haven’t chunk one, thanks Larry!

[@LarryCheungGolf]

Great stuff!!!

[@jonbiro6853]

What adjustments need to be made if you're in the rough around the green? Good video.

[@LarryCheungGolf]

depends on shot, but need more speed to get through rough =)

[@808dds]

Great video ! Does the club move on an arc left after impact ?

[@LarryCheungGolf]

depends on player =P

Hi Larry Firstly I love your content, short concise. Regarding the chipping yips. I have tried the ideas you mention in this video, and to has greatly improved my technique. On the practice ground I chip like a pro! multitude of shots and trajectory’s spin ect. However in the heat of the battle on the course, with indecision,the demons return. Fear takes over. Any idea how I can take the practice thoughts to the course?

[@LarryCheungGolf]

If you are on the course, the decision is to just stick to the routine, try the routine I talked about in second half of the video and don't worry about hitting to a target. You're decision is to try your best to commit to that routine, if you miss, try again next time =)

[@paulwilsdon8322]

Thanks for the response, so focus on the process not fear the result, and if you mess up just try again

[@LarryCheungGolf]

yup! =) You're there to try and bring the progress you've made from practice to play, you're not there to try and hit the ball close to the hole =)

I've tried the more neutral set up with very little shaft lean and the club still digs at times. Hitting behind really causes problems especially as I practice on tight lies.

[@LarryCheungGolf]

Sounds like you are doing something to expose the leading edge, I would hit alot of chips around the chipping green trying to hit the ground as much as you can without taking a divot, and see if you can figure out how to do that =)

[@p-Claud73]

I’ll definitely give this a try. I tend to dig the leading edge in too much.

[@cclarsen72]

Lead shoulder thru hands straight line? This delofts the club by nature. I have to cup my left hand and then its certainty not a straight line. Then when I try to use it cupped I return with leading edge in downswing automatically. This video is my issue exactly all the way through to my full swing. My hands at set up are parallel my left thigh and I also have a little forward press to make thing worse.

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

Gonna try this , I’m in the chipping horror s , today 3 over par with 3 to play I missed 3 greens and yipped 3 times and ruined all my hard work , disaster,

[@bernardpeyton108]

Larry, when chipping with 7, 8 and 9 irons, do you also chip with the bounce?

[@LarryCheungGolf]

using the bounce should not be the primary focus when chipping with 7,8,9 irons as your swing is so small and slow there is very little chance the leading edge can come into play =)

[@antti1041]

How do you use the bounce in the autumn when the course is always soft and wet? Or when the ball is floating in the rough?

[@LarryCheungGolf]

same thing, but adjustments will need to be carried out on the fly based on situation and lie =)

👍

[@Steverino8686]

Better than stopping after a couple practice strokes, is to just advance the club behind the ball while still making practice swings. In other words, don’t stop at all. Swing back and through, back and through(just inside the ball), then back and through the ball, never stopping. It takes the yip out of the swing. Is it an instant cure, no, but it helps tremendously. There is no rule that says you must stop, set the club down on the ground, then get all nervous while trying to start over again.

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

Super idea !!

[@whiskerrub]

No harm in giving it a go .... Larry obviously has a dislike for snowmen. After this year's golf I'm going to build one at first snowfall and then destroy it with my wedges. #canadiangolftherapy
