*TRUST ME!! If your chipping is your worsts it’s ever been this will sort it out 100%!*

[@steelfan3657]

What loft club were you using?

[@MrMatt_Gray]

There are more golf secrets than the bloody chamber of secrets 😂

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hahaha we need them all I know I do hahah

[@mikethestoner]

Facts mate, I'm struggling after lessons as I'm being shown too much at the same time haha

[@emcrossley157]

At least it’s actually good content tho

[@MrMatt_Gray]

@@emcrossley157 Always quality content by Alex

[@tarrenjones6446]

These guys got you playing golf swing… you should try golf, it’s way more fun

[@MrPhil1503]

I learned this a couple of years ago...transfored my chipping,just by by using the bounce of the wedge. Now I actually enjoy practicing chipping for ages and relish having a chip to do on the course, one of my favorite parts of the game now

[@roryharvey2727]

Make no mistake Alex you are a very good coach!

[@joapps8135]

Where were you all of my life?! No joke; this super minor adjustment makes a huuuuge difference. Last 2 rounds using this tip...seriously amazing!

[@joemc7901]

Thanks for another great video. I once asked a real good chipper his practice swing focus thought, and his reply: the sound of the club "brushing" the ground. That has since become my focus thought.

[@tomforeman3982]

Excellent explanation! This is exactly what I do constantly. Thanks Alex

[@melodiemcneilgolf]

Hey Alex, we met at Mottramhall (through Dave and Maria) Great video! This is exactly what Melodie has been working on for sometime now, a slightly open face is an absolute confidence booster for shots around the green. I hope your well mate Gordo (Melodies Dad)

[@prussell7377]

Great tip, I more often than not fail to swing through, so land up taking a 9 iron for a bump & run as find it easier.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Russel! I think this makes it easy to understand right??

[@brianjohnson8918]

I knew to grip the club with an open CF on sand & chips shots, but my 1st break-thru this winter was to FEEL the CF staying open (facing the sky) all during the swing, the 2nd was to keep the RH feeling underneath the club all during the swing (my swing key to accomplish 1st break-thru), and last, to pull this open CF thru the ball & into the follow-thru with tummy/core rotation, NOT with the hands or arms. No face rotation, no rolling of the arms or hands. Only took me 35 years of golf to get to this point; needed your video before U were born! 😂😂😂

[@alangoudie2299]

Seems to be valuable advice. When it stops raining heavily I will give it a try. Thank you Alex.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Alan! I hope this helps you

[@quantumpotential7639]

Don't wait for the rain to stop. Get out there when the conditions are terrible and you will gain a hyper competitive edge over all the competition. If you get wet, you get wet. Who cares. What matters is becoming a magician around the green. Thanks

[@robertadams3264]

Great tip especially as the faithful bump and run is much less effective in the wet with long grass on fairways

[@ianpulham3624]

Where it really doesn't work is heavy morning dew.

[@kirkclements4893]

I learned how to add and subtract bounce by practicing chips and pitches off of a sheet of plywood - was never scared of hard-pan lies or fluffy lies.

[@hotspurman7927]

Great simple and clear lesson. Thank you

[@AlexElliottGolf]

You are welcome!

[@williammackenzie7328]

I saw a video of yours that reccomended a triangular style putter grip. i ca not find this video again, can you give me the brand name of that grip. Thanks, and I love all your videos.

[@MarcoFD]

i been using a chipper for 50 bucks for a few weeks now, makes the game so much more fun not having to worry about these unfun shots. hate chipping.

[@kevinconnolly754]

i never had chipping issues until i added anything more than PW to the bag, i did the old bump and run with lots of success. now I'm forever short, fat it, blade it etc.

[@michaelm.8278]

Please, please let us know which club you are using when giving advice - especially chipping around the green lessons.

[@roryharvey2727]

EXCELLENT TIP

[@scootertrasher1369]

If your going to give golf advise may I suggest you learn the difference between a chip and a pitch.

[@edmiller9453]

This is what i was taught when I first started. When I heard how many people hate lob shots I didn't get it because that's rather what this technique is. Or am I just crazy.

[@LaurenceRoach]

Thanks very much 😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@brucabi213]

Use the bounce of the club

[@stuartbarclay1134]

Had this tip given to me 30years ago by Sam Torrance using a walking stick as a club

[@VintageTubeTone]

I've never been able to chip consistently with a 54 or 56 degree wedge. Lean the handle too far forward, the leading edge of the club digs in. Lean it too far back, the bounce hits the turf and the leading edge blades the ball. Whenever possible I chip with an 8-iron, or P-W if there's limited green to work with. A long green, maybe a 6-iron.

[@LaurenceRoach]

Absolutely Brilliant - Thank you 👍👍👌👌😊😊

[@LaurenceRoach]

I have now started to win 🏆 Thanks again Kind regards Laurie

[@roy5515]

I see you have the trail foot square, but the front foot flared, can you explain that more?

[@stevebatty2518]

Do you aim slightly left to allow for the open club face Alex?

[@WeimaranersAreTheBest]

Do u recommend a certain bounce on wedge? My 56 is a 10 And 60 is a 9

[@jjflash1645]

Great tip. Do you still play the ball off your back foot and keep most of your weight on your front foot.

[@denniskline3225]

Hitting that far from the green are you hitting a chip or a pitch? I like the little open face idea but sure I. could use it while chipping. Just looking for a clearer understanding.

[@helmuttrimmel6020]

When I open the face how do I stop from spraying it to the right? I understand the bounce but doesn’t the face cause the ball to go right? Thanks

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I will try and cover this in another video 🙌🏼

[@johnaugsburger6192]

Thanks

[@bootybandy]

With the club face slightly open, would you need to aim slightly left? Great tips though Alex.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah for sure Brian!!

[@thephotographer539]

Does the ball go where the clubface is aimed?

[@royclose946]

Well done alex 🏌‍♂️

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Roy!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Roy!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Roy!

[@edshort1138]

The drawback to Alex's advice here is that more perfection in swing is required, to avoid hitting the chip thin, which would make the ball run over the back edge of the green. Alex is talking about the "bounce" portion of the golf club. Letting the bounce brush the ground, instead of the blade edge, does reduce the risk of the blade digging into the ground and getting caught stuck. But using the bounce this way raises the height of the blade edge higher off the ground, thus risking a thin hit. For some players this is a worthwhile trade-off, but for others maybe an unwise trade-off. If you want to use the bounce, you can reduce the thin risk by using Callaway's 'MAX' golf balls. The MAX balls are slightly larger (though are same weight). The MAX's larger size raises the equator of the ball higher off the ground, which reduces the risk of hitting thin. MAX balls are entirely legal.

[@zazhou]

Yes, open the clubface just enough to create a small amount of bounce. Happy medium

[@h0tkoko]

Nice 😊

[@marcrobichaud814]

HI Alex . Greetings from Montréal , i'm a beginner and i got my self some new golf irons Ping g425 green dot (up right 2°) now my question is ,,, i heard somewhere on KZbin that your wedges should not be the same lie as your irons , so my wedges are black dot (regular lie)pw , uw , 54° , 58° and soon 62° since your a golf pro is it ok ?

[@marcrobichaud814]

Thanks your the best

[@johnoxley1946]

In theory yes, but I've been doing that for 20+ years and I still chunk them just in front of me. WHY?

[@timharmer3600]

Hi Alex, this looks like a great tip.. I have a question though.. I play 14deg of bounce on my 56 $ 60 deg wedges, am I going to introduce a much higher chance of blading these shots?

[@nickslobo]

Possibly, higher bounce is meant for a steeper angle of attack but it can depend if conditions. Wet conditions with high bounce is better because the sole protects from digging. Low bounce is better sweepers and for drier conditions. High bounce is dry conditions is a recipe for blading. So depending on where you are from, what the conditions of the courses you play and your angle of attack get wedges that suit all of the above. Mid bounce is always a good place to be because you get the best of both worlds.

[@timharmer3600]

@@nickslobo I was fitted for the 14deg bounce by the pro at the local golf club.. I rarely open the face, I carry 4 wedges.. if I want more loft I go higher loft.. opening the face just over complicates what your trying to do IMHO. Only very rarely do I really need to stop a ball that quick that I'd need to open the face..

[@pigslefats]

Real chance of thinning the chip if you don't have ideal bounce on club used

[@joegiammatteo]

Are you still placing all of your weight on your left leg?

[@michaelmccreery8192]

Sounds easy, could you kindly repeat what you said

[@frankpalancio8471]

When you glide the club face on a chip you increase the chances of a blade shot which is a disastrous result. I rather do the hinge and hold

[@AlexElliottGolf]

thats great that you have a method that works for you

[@scottrobertson6553]

Suberb alex my heed is minced 😜⛳

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Scott!!!

[@joshlee859]

Proceed with caution. You can see Alex's ball position is towards his right foot. If you try to loft up the club while the ball is to your right side, chances are your going get real flippy with it. Might work temporarily but not from a consistency standpoint. Every chipping coach will tell you to put your weight on the left, hands left of the club head, and ball positioned towards the left foot for a higher shot. This will give you more room for your hands to glide through the ball.

[@davidmaughan4786]

Alex love your drills and videos, but please,please loose your pyjama trousers cheers😅

[@thousandnations1soul450]

Who else doesn't know wtf he's talking about. I feel like you need to explain better. What exactly r u saying. If some one knows please explain to me. I say coming steeper works like Phil mickelsons video hinge and hold.

[@tarrenjones6446]

Well, first of all, the old way of chipping is terrible… your hands are too high on the club. Grip it lower, at the end of the grip, not the top of the grip… you ain’t Cam Smith

[@johnklaus9111]

Wow... i guess don't chip, pitch every shot... You helped no one. Instead kids. If you fat your chips, move it to the front of your stance. Off front foot. Slide your balance forward and back over stationary feet. Get the feel of weight forward on your lead foot, but shoulders even. Use a mirror, it helps. Freeze your hips and rotate your shoulders back and through. Chip till it feels comfortable.

[@crldnlc]

Lol Yeah… If it were only that easy

[@AlexElliottGolf]

i think that this will really help!!

[@tanjadenhollander4823]

Weer een goede tip! Maar hoe is hier de set up? Another good tip! But how is the set up? 🏌
