IMPROVE YOUR CHIPPING INSTANTLY WITH THE RIGHT CLUB

[@coachschwal]

Broke 80 for the 1st time! Thank you for the videos!

[@JKMGolf]

That’s is awsome!

[@sscully67]

Thank you for explaining how to pick the right wedge. Could you do a video on chipping setup, technique, and pitfalls?

[@paulday7427]

Brings back great memories .... Lived there, golfed across the causeway mostly, loved Singapore 👍

[@fergusfitzgerald977]

I keep saying this on all your videos - you are very clear and precise and so easy to understand - keep it going !

[@2old2game5]

Would love to see a round recorded of yours. Thank you for all of the help

[@gwendolynhenson2889]

This was a very helpful video about when to choose a lofty club or not. I have seen a few other coaches discussing the actual technique of chipping and pitching from various distances…and some are noting a more upright and less wristy method as becoming more popular. I’m most interested to hear and see your take on this. I think you are great at explaining and demonstrating these evolutions and studying the stats and best players. Looking forward to more short game videos. You are a great teacher. Cheers!

[@SkipperII]

Thank you for these tips. It's great to have an awesome lil cheat sheet. I can't wait to apply these techniques.

[@jsant24]

Thanks for the great video. I will try this at my next practice later today.

[@carlor.s.4742]

Excellent video. I often find myself trying to figure out which club to use around the green. Last year I found myself using my 56 degree wedge more often & wondered why I had never used it before to chip as I almost always used my gap wedge. Thanks Jon!

[@rickcudmore8156]

Using the 30/70, 50/50, 70/30 percentages was a great analogy. I plan to use this tomorrow.

[@U_y_g_h_u_r_L_i_v_e_s_Matter]

Great video! Like seeing you outside!

[@johntatum8088]

Thanks JK, maybe you could present an uphill scenario where you have a lot of green to work with. In this situation I sometimes use either my 9 or my 8 iron ...lately more often can judge the roll out with the 9 iron.

chipping 101 video needs to happen!

[@tomharrison7280]

Would love to see you hit some wedges shots from the rough from 50 yards and I towed the hole. Thanks for you video!

[@jeremycz-nd5xw]

Great video - if possible please share more in the course content - explaining your concepts of course management

[@emiliopelaez607]

That was a great video Jonathan! My chipping has improved from watching these videos but better understanding now with the different scenarios you used. Awesome!

[@seancoxe1094]

Wow. That was really helpful. I think I'll subscribe.

[@brianmatre7923]

Having trouble muffing chips, even the dreaded shanks. Can you help with actual stance and swing. Thank you in advance. By the way you have brought me back to golf as I was about to quit the game. You have done what I have spent thousands in lessons and schools none of which went through the swing as thoroughly as you have. It worked the first time and I’m hitting the ball more consistently than I have in years. It’s brought enjoyment back to the game. Thanks again. I will be watching all your lessons!!!!!

[@edwardbrown6901]

Great video..on chipping thanks

[@neild2838]

Now I know what club to use! Great video thanks for your help.

[@randallsguaranteedsold6361]

Awesome video! Thx for helping to clear up the confusion of what to use/do around the green.

[@eugenedizon48]

Great video and perspective on how to make the right decisions!

[@TungNguyen-mx6zd]

Very good, real situation and easy to understand and remember to apply

[@TheNamdar1]

Excellent analysis and insights! Congratulations!

[@PC-pd7hl]

I find yours to be one of the clearest and most practical instructions website. Thank you so much! As you have asked for questions, here are some which you may like to think over (I never got clear answers to them from others): 1. (Easiest) When you demonstrated how the low point of the hoop moves back as the downswing comes more from the inside (and the opposite happens for the outside in swing), surely that is just your manipulation by rolling the hoop away from or towards the target thereby moving the low point backwards or forwards. Of course one can, without the rolling to the right or left, turn the hoop clockwise or anti-clockwise and still keep it touching the ground at the same point. Please explain why the rolling has to happen.

[@JKMGolf]

The path you swing the club is definitely an influence to Low point and where you are hitting the ground. The hoop/pool noodle was a visual but you can try this as an example ,put a ball in line with your front foot and try to hit the ball while swing the club massively from IN TO OUT without shifting any weight..you will find that you cannot do it unless you swing the club more degrees out to in.

[@bretthansen4773]

Dude! you are killing it!

[@bretthansen4773]

Do not change....at all.

[@Drums-ve8on]

Thanks for the practical tips.

[@andyball1058]

Hi Jonathan. you’ve helped me enormously sort out my early extension issues thank you. Can you please do a video on basic chipping techniques. Poor chipping is killing me. Thanks for all your excellent instruction.

[@philipboakes2974]

Good instruction and great examples of how to chip.

[@willwilson2232]

Thank you 🙏 that really filled in some blanks in my short game.

[@scottshriver7725]

thanks again very helpful.

Hi, Great video. Can you please make a video on chipping and pitching techniques?

[@scottsteibel]

Thanks for your videos Been very helpful

[@dantuts09]

awesome video jonathan.. thank you for pointing out the loft to use when chipping. but as a beginner or most beginner rather , dont really know what BOUNCE does on the wedges ..can you do a video of that next. ? thanks..

[@muaazammohamad4137]

Great video, thanks

[@vincentdobbins4189]

Excellent video. You’re an excellent instructor. I enjoy your instructional detailed content.

[@maxwired2235]

Very good explanation! Can you do a video on chipping setup...ball position, weight distribution, swing type, "arms, hands, or shoulders," getting the ball to stop quickly "spin" or have it run out. Thx, glad I found your channel!

[@michaelbautista9625]

Thanks! Can you your set up in chipping and pitching

[@lsbruva]

Jonathan, your videos are great. Will you do a video on to make chip and flop shots? Too many times I'm in great position, less than 100 yards, and end up missing the green. Thanks!

[@hwissglife713]

Wow great video! Will try out this for my next short game practice 👍👍

[@ivanpinkas3829]

Great info..

[@josephwirtz8352]

[@ebwhite21]

Thanks for the awesome video! Would you also be able to make a video on how to properly hit wedge shots to pitch and chip? That would be greatly appreciated!

[@jeffbates5401]

Jonathan great video thank you

[@hildahudson2344]

Course management would be a great option 👍🏼

[@albertjohnson5338]

[@manonpiche8652]

Thank you for this video. I need more on the how to use the tool. It is hard to see your technique in this video. How to you position your hand, your feet, the ball…I have a hard time with these wedges, both 56 degree and pitching wedge

[@terrisigler559]

Can you please do a video on how to chip and pitch the ball? Also, I need a video on techniques to get out of a bunker.

3. Most instructions nowadays discourage rolling of the forearms and rotating the clubface closed just before and after impact - contrary to A J Boner's point that 'the clubface is the bat'. If that is so, then why don't they make the handle (and therefore the shaft) point at the sweet spot so that making contact with it would be so much easier (like in almost all other racket sports)? At present the distance between the shaft and the sweet spot is different for each club, and we are holding the handle and not the clubhead. Should we then think about and try to control where exactly the shaft is pointing (ie the distance from the shaft/hosel to the sweet spot) at impact in order make contact on the sweet spot? If not, how should we train to make contact on the sweet spots for different clubs?

[@JKMGolf]

I think a lot of golf instructors discourage EXCESSIVE rolling of the forearms and not rolling of the forearms all together. There has to be some rotation in the forearms to some degree. The golf club is not a straight object. There is loft on the club face so if you get the handle to point straight at the ball, you wouldn’t be able to hit the sweet spot. Due to the design of the golf club it requires different impact conditions and location of the shaft at impact

[@JKMGolf]

Regardless of which club you are using, if the ball is on the ground you have to be able to swing the club a few degrees from in to out, hit down on the ball and have the shaft of the club to lean forward at impact.

[@chairmanmeow3693]

I will definitely once I get a chance!

[@michaelhill2933]

I like to walk it off and use these clubs and fly it half way there 10 paces = 62 20 = 58 30 =54 40 = 50 50 = 46. If its really flat and i dont have to fly it far, ill just putt with my 8 iron

[@marc-andresabourin9394]

How can I avoid seeing my ball gain too much height with my driver, which penalizes my distance, especially with a headwind?

[@albertshahn]

Is there a reliable and safe technique when hitting shortsided chips where u have to flight the ball from the rough and land soft? I open the face to expose the bounce and try to slow the tempo but this gets inconsistent results. I also don't feel comfortable w bump and runs when I can't trust the rough, and aiming for fringe also is literally hit or miss. Wondering how elite players handle this.

[@JKMGolf]

these are very difficult scenarios for even the best players. If you need to launch the ball higher and you open the face then you will need to have the confidence the swing it aggressively. Having an open club face and having a slow tempo is definitely a mistake.

[@scottw9267]

Do you ever find your students are better off with one club around the green because the lack of practice time makes it easier to get comfortable with distance control? I can understand that a bump and run with a hybrid is better suited for a long hit off the fringe, BUT it's such and infrequent shot that I'm just guessing at distance and feel more confident with a 50.

2. Maybe this point is so simple it doesn't need any instruction, but nobody talks much about, after impact, the detailed movements of the left arm, elbow and wrist from right arm parallel (where presumably the left arm is still straight and the left wrist is slightly bowed) all the way to the finish (when the left arm is bent and the left wrist is fully cupped). Could you please talk about these movements.

[@JKMGolf]

This topic sounds like it would be about how players release the club. Some players extend the lead wrist, some players roll the wrists. Etc. I could make a video about this in the future.

[@PC-pd7hl]

@@JKMGolf Thank you so much for your replies. Looking forward to your video.

[@PC-pd7hl]

4. Nobody ever talk about the HUGH divots the pros (including your goodself, I'm sure) take when playing their full wedges (and sometimes their short irons), although we can see this time and again when they play on the course. Why do they do it? Why doesn't anybody want to acknowledge it? Is there a way to practise this on a mat at the driving range? During the swing, should we concentrate on the low point (in front of and below the ball), and not on the ball?

[@JKMGolf]

It is absolutely essential that golfers learn to hit down on the golf ball. The golf club has loft so there is no need to try and help the ball in the air. I think a lot of instructors do want players to hit down but getting players to do it correctly is the difficult part! You definitely want to focus on controlling the low point. That is crucial fundamental in golf and the low point should be slightly ahead of the ball.

[@ajsingh1495]

more important is the set up and back swing and follow through is missing.
