The SECRET to Viktor Hovland's NEW Short Game REVEALED!

[@MarineOneVet]

In my 30 years of golf, this is probably the best chipping advice I've seen. I took and applied this to the course yesterday and it worked to perfection 100% of the time.

[@frankieboy5139]

Welcome back Mr Shortgame. This is the stuff that made me follow you on KZbin.superb. 👌

[@LordCallaway]

I love your videos, so entertaining and informative. Great delivery with a light humorous approach. Keep them coming please. 🤗

[@RumzDizzle]

The bringing the shoulder to the foot visualization/feel was excellent advice. My backyard chipping net is shaking in its boots now 😂

[@CraigGoulian]

Great lesson with the proper explanation. Mr Short game is back!

[@Spanherder]

A good setup trick is to reverse your hands and put your left below your right to set your shoulders. Then just put the hands properly keeping the shoulder angle.

[@erickatch4149]

Great explanation of the Joe Mayo / Hovland technique. Never saw it this clear cut. You the man, SGG.

[@ericb9994]

Been trying to get a chipping style down for about 3 years...I will be trying this after watching your game (you are a really good chipper).

[@slwsnowman4038]

Came back to say these tips really helped. I chipped the best I've ever chipped today. Now I need to get consistent at striking.

[@edwardmckallen98]

I really like this video, can’t wait to try it out. Could you recommend the grip for the short game swing? Very well explained

[@tonyfordgolf9438]

Been playing hinge and hold for years now and with great success! But if this is good enough for Viktor! Got to give it a go! Nice lesson Mate!

[@gcoffey223]

Some of the greatest content on YT. 👍👍👍

[@GheenoeLifeLT25]

Great lesson there 👍. Btw really good playing at the good good tournament 👏

[@tomparisi804]

Way to finish off a great vid!! Nice job Matt as always!!

[@craiggray4255]

Loved the video Mr. SG. Any adjustments on really tight lies?

[@uluwatu77]

A shallow angle of attack allows for better control over the distance and trajectory of your chip shots. It minimizes the risk of hitting the ball fat

[@KMSchriver]

thank you for trying to explain this new mad scientist experiment...I have had trouble following the internet drama around this!

[@davidure67]

Listen to Joe Mayo's explanation on the Sweetspot podcast. He is brilliant.

[@PXGProto]

Doesn’t a more narrow arc lower your margin for error? And, what about using the bounce?

[@alexandriaz8622]

So do you hit the back of ball like scooping when using wedges?

[@johnwebb2466]

I've watched a bunch of Mayo's work, and I haven't seen anything about open clubface. He wants the dynamic loft to be around 45 and 10 degrees downward AOA, totaling 55 degree spin loft.

[@davead6578]

Great video, but have you taken this swing into the simulator to get spin rates and compare them to the other techniques? That would be very interesting.

[@JT-LV]

Quality vid, thank you.

[@FloppyJackson1]

Great video Matt.

[@parmanduke]

Amazing stuff. No divots. Wedge is gliding thru the turf.

[@gassyjones]

Great vid brother!!! By the way, nice shirt.. who makes it??? lol

[@tuna411]

MrShortGame ... where are you located, do you provide in person lessons?

[@johnnybailey4091]

Great advice

[@TheGoodGadfly]

Well, at least you don’t have to give Joe Mayo credit for this information! It does bear a very strong resemblance. No mention of spine movement in the backswing, nor the vital element of extension in the downswing/follow through.

[@julianroberts698]

You truly are a wizard

[@skizzot91r]

Love Hovland.. my fav player

[@ericb9994]

About how far is the longest shot this technique will accommodate? 10, 20, 30, 40 yds?

[@davidpeterson552]

Hey Matt, love these vids! After watching your technique, I wonder what you think of Dan Grieve’s technique? Now I’m confused! Lot of info on YT. No one way to to the short game success I guess!

[@thomastrain7311]

Yeah you can't combine parts from different ones lol it's a disaster. Pick one teacher/ method and go with it is my advice

[@Seektruth-59]

Dan Grieve’s 3 chipping swings are by far the best

[@tjy698]

I’m trying to get more clarity between Dan Gs approach and this one. I think this is similar to release one but not exactly the same. Stance, weight, finish are similar but the steepness is something Dan doesnt talk about

[@ohsteeev]

What does the arc of an iron swing look like?

[@dikdoc0079]

I can putt from those lies. The chip (from Bermuda) is usually from the rough, often against grain. How do I deal with that?

[@Goodnewsgolf]

Yesir thanks

[@bertofehr]

Opening the face just adds bounce & loft. Most players don't feel comfortable with an open face. You'd be better off getting a high loft, high bounce wedge for around the greens. IMHO.

[@benlaforce2915]

a couple of those camera angles were bad ass.

[@johnmartin4332]

Didn't Hovland use the "butterfly" grip in his Short game??

[@johnmartin4332]

Actually he did!! It's a great concept

[@josephmilitello7905]

Ball is where in that stance? Back?

[@MrShortGame]

Middle to forward

[@josephmilitello7905]

@@MrShortGame oh, wow it looks back and I figured it would be that to have the low trajectory. But I'm glad to hear that as I struggle with chips in back of my stance. Going to try this out. THANKS!!

[@Handletaken4]

Your calling in life is "teacher"!

[@calvindebeverly7410]

Good gravy! You could have explained how it works in the time it took you to explain that you needed to explain how it works! LOL LOL

[@MrSig-ye8hq]

How could anyone with confidence say "This will save you 3 to 5 strokes per rounds"...

[@thomastrain7311]

When you chip/ pitch it to kick in range I guarantee you it will. It's the part of my game that got me from shooting 74-75 to breaking par.

[@LyonsGolf]

Great vid. I liked the papers and markers to explain. Reminded me of a Casey neistat

[@GolfMissouri]

Not to nit-pic but your feet aren’t one club head apart. Looks like just get set up comfortably with weight on front foot keeping feet less than shoulder length apart.

[@arielluna4399]

👏👏👏👍

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

This is contradicted by today’s supreme short game guru, Dan Grieve. See his channel and book.

[@kevindreifurst5681]

Matt stick to teaching golf not art …. Good video

[@jackjenkins5160]

Check out Joesph Mayo for VK’s real short game teacher.

[@billhavrilla7479]

I appreciate you taking down the last video. I left a negative review and didn’t give it more than 5 minutes of view. I should’ve watched more before posting a comment. Just to be honest, it was a bit much. Thank you

[@xTRUExiNsANiTYx]

What was the last video?

[@edogaktop]

Second the curiosity

[@witnac2k15]

@@edogaktop 2v2 with his GG desert open partner against some club pros, but the other 3 guys outside of matt were very loud and annoying, bunch of ppl commented saying they didnt like it

[@Cspotrun78]

The production quality and detail of your instructional videos has improved 1000% in the last couple years! I have always enjoyed your content, but I try not to miss a video now. Fantastic! :) 🩳🎮

[@michaelkegley9838]

No thanks! Complicated

[@jacobmccain8082]

I mean hes gotten a lot better but Hovland has been known as a terrible short game player for almost his entire career no? I mean not that he's bad hes just such a good driver/iron player and has just an average short game.

[@Murphmonster69]

Until last year when he started winning pga events, your info is a little behind because hovland has made a transformation into a solid short game player.

[@jamiesloan7259]

I think the point here is that he’s gotten dramatically better. The wins, and ranking shows that. He’s just pointing out the changes that were made to achieve it. Strike should never be an issue, with a good player. I sorta had the chipping yips myself last summer. It was a simple fix, once I pin-pointed the problem. I was taking the club back on too much of an arc(too low, and inside). I started taking it back more along the target line. The approach angle fixed itself, and I’m back to “strike” being a non-issue.

[@ricklawrence1188]

If I was playing someone the next day in a club championship the next day, I'd want to make sure they watched this video the night before. Getting steep on chip shots is arguably the worst advice I seen in 5 decades of playing competitive golf.

[@uluwatu77]

You're narrowing your chances of a good chip. Not a good video. Every other video tried to give the golfer a better chance to hit the ball correctly by keeping the club longer along the ground. This video is very professionals only.

[@Guite06]

Great video. You just don’t understand

[@uluwatu77]

A shallow angle of attack allows for better control over the distance and trajectory of your chip shots. It minimizes the risk of hitting the ball fat

[@Guite06]

@@uluwatu77 shallow entry MAXIMIZES the risk of hitting it fat or thin, it just is more forgiving if you do so because the bounce can help you. Steeper angler of attack means there is less chance for grass to get in between the club face and ball so your contact will be more clean and therefore the ball will leave your face at the same speed, spin, and trajectory more consistently. The key is to not get closer to the earth after impact or you will dig. But yes if you are steep, you need to make sure the bottom of your swing is in the right place. Listen to the Jo Mayo episode on The Sweet Spot golf podcast. Very interesting stuff.
