im glad I found this ..my new fav from a REAL PGA PRO on youtube ...cant ever get enough of Michael Breed

[@Gays4Trump]

He is so Hot, I agree!

[@禮貌]

Nice and clear.Give a thumbs up. 👍

[@tonyshans2226]

Michael, you are the "maestro" of PGA golf instructors on the internet...I haven't seen you for a while and, am so glad you are back...I would disagree with any comments concerning the length and depth of this video...I've been at the game for just over 15 years and, I do put a lot of time into practicing...The "hinge/no hinge" review is an excellent theory to work on....However, I do feel with very short chips, just off the green, any hinge is a death move...Your video addresses more of a short pitch than a true chip, in my humble opinion...I've seen you once in person at the North Jersey Golf Show and, you were very entertaining and, a true gentlemen...Tony Shans

[@jonathanknight2358]

Chip like you putt. It's all in the movement of the shoulders turning the upper body straight back. Arms, wrists, and grip soft. Weight on front foot always w/front foot open turned close to 45 degrees away from target. Ball forward for more loft, back for less loft. Open clubface for more loft. Watch the lie for flop shot.

[@alexanderking3367]

Best video I've watched so far on youtube . Well done!

[@jobssteve4175]

I read David Peltz Short Game Bible 30 years ago. I thought I am a great short game player before watching this video. Now I need to practice more. Thanks Michael this is the best lesson in my 30 year golf life.

[@thomaspalmer7483]

Would not pushing your arms out create a fade....outside in swing?

[@robertcourt8593]

It likely will do if you do it enough but if you come as far from the inside as this guy does, like I do, then you've got to make a pretty drastic change. Feel and real.

[@amatya.rakshasa]

Damn!!!!!!! I had no idea there was so much going on with chips. This is blowing my mind.

[@joeashton3871]

Your section on Hinge or No Hinge is the best video I have seen on the different swing mechanics of a pitch shot. The detail you cover in using the body vs more wrist hinge rolling the left arm or not and other details are the best I have seen. In the last few years I have been struggling with chipping/pitching yips, but my putting is fine. I have watched many videos and tried several solutions including playing chips and pitches with just using my right arm, which actually worked, but still didn't fix my two arm yips. Lately, I have been practicing using my hips to control my swing (much like you show in your no hinge swing) and am getting consistent results with the yips slowly becoming a thing of the past. I know some profess using little body movement for chips and pitches, but your video confirms it's ok. Thanks.

[@rectolee2584]

Very very awesome video thank you Mr.Breed

[@blakemurray2834]

I play off been playing for a little over 2 years now had some coaching and am 17 People be saying that you can't play a flop shot with out hinge but the more you hinge the club in your back swing you are essentialaly de lofting the club and also is lifting the club up higher quicker All of this means you have to work so much harder to get that club back to the position you had it at address for the shot you intended on hitting However I do feel if you have soft hands and soft arms open the face and have relativily square to open stance the club should naturally hinge the slightest bit due to inertia this method I find is the best for hitting a flop shot not forced

[@m3toz4]

the hinge should be automatic when your swing get longer.

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

Of course...hes talking about chipping tho right...which is interesting cause to me chipping doesn't have hinge anyways, itd a small stroke just off the green...pitching is where the debate between hinge vs no hinge comes from Yet there is no chipping nor pitching in this video so wtf

[@1108steeveee]

Hello! Quick question, @21:30 you are talking about creating a higher lofted shot with more spin by rotating your arms in order to create a more open club face. Is this the same result you would get if you were to simply open the face and your stance during set up? Thank you very much!

[@johnnybgood7442]

Eessentially yes. I prefer to manipulate the club at address as opposed to altering my swing open or closed. It seems to be more consistent that way since I can make the same swing most of the time. Rotating open and closed brings in too many variables imo.

[@pola619]

ill watch this video at least twice a week

[@33115566]

Nice walk through of a variety of shots, and I don't remember him telling us to hit it fat (using bounce) even once.

[@Toledocob769]

A wonderful demonstration and teaching! Thanks Mr. Breed!

[@thomasgolft]

I see no chipping whatsoever.

[@ndragon88]

And he hinged 12oclock on both too haha

[@jaymishur1105]

Thanks for posting! Great video!

[@LeeTrevinoFans]

Dont limit yourself! Seve used both!

[@toddrozens9614]

That is the Westerville golf center. Love that place!

[@ahol9120]

Looks like that's maumee sportsmall in Maumee Ohio thsts the turnpike in the distance!

[@nickbentley8760]

Excellent! Great to see that all techniques are valid definately something I can use on the course, My wedge matrix is about to get much more complicated

[@rectolee2584]

Good morning 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

[@TXchadTX]

and my friends mocked me when I said I was hitting a "spinny cut" from 50 yards. gah wait till they see this

[@evankabir50]

A trick : you can watch series on kaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@ramonjaxson1373]

@Evan Kabir definitely, I have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)

[@ufukgoksu9851]

Thank you for your insights. Great content. Can we conclude that hinging creates more steepness let say for 100 yards iron shots? Thank you

[@marksamarin5198]

I don't get it. This looks to me like a pitch shot, not a chip?

[@seanm3226]

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Later into this video Michael refers to “holding on to the angle” through impact. This just doesn’t happen. All angles are released at impact, regardless of how it feels. Jason Day and Phil Mickelson are virtually the same at impact. I love Michael’s lessons, but this is just an oft-repeated myth.

[@hoopsoffroad]

Michael, thank you amigo, I have found a new favorite golf vlog. That was awesome. I love the fact that you show all of the little differences in swing, path, release, and hinge that effects so many different situations near the green. Thank you sir!

[@TomSmith-yt8ce]

yaky yak yak a dee

[@MrChip8970]

Another "Square root of the hypotenuse guy" A golf swing isnt that damned complicated. You so called golf instructors try to analyze everything in a golf swing. I bet when you were trying to hit a baseball as achild no one had a slide rule out trying to evaluate your baseball swing but yet you could hit a high fly or a line drive you could shape it to left or right field etc. same with a golf shot. Show me 100 golfers and I'll show you 100 different golf swings!! There is no one way to hit a golf ball period!. know how to piss off a golf coach? Ask them how many PGA championships they have won in their life. And when you get the answer which is most probably none ask them then what gives you the right to think you are qualified to teach golf???? Just saying

[@DanielFolsom]

There are a ton of batting coaches, including ones employed by every single major league team, which tell players how they can improve their swing. Yes, there are different styles-he literally endorses using different styles in this video (maybe you should have watched more of it before you wrote a paragraph response?), but that doesn't mean that every swing is correct.

[@fx35402]

“Whose,” foo’!

[@Andrew850]

why would anyone do it this way, I can control ball spin and trajectory much easier by just moving the ball forward or backward in my stance. I also would open my stance more.

[@superque4]

I'm a noob but have great control and success setting my wrists in front of the ball at address and then not hinging until maybe follow through but I'm basically sweeping the ball foo the ground. My aim using this technique is dead on when it was all over the place before. Is this a horrible way to chip or not?

[@wayneyoung146]

Both

[@MrJujitsu1]

Aloha, I always enjoy your passion to learn and help people. Well done! Mahalo

[@rectolee2584]

Wow another awesome video ✌🏻👏🏌️‍♂️

[@seanmates5574]

This is so good.

[@traviscraven4934]

Last segment is best! Always thought he was a bit info overload but if you can hang till the end that segment is so good at understanding hand and face impacts to spin, launch, carry and run out. Understanding these has an exponential impacts to full swing at far greater speeds.

[@paulmorin2234]

Great video Michael this guy should be very happy.

[@eeriggione5559]

8:35 I did struggle for same issue last spring, and when fixing my shot it literally felt like I’m about to hit my toes😂 Funny how muscle memory works😁

[@RocketCheeze]

Sounds like good advice but i have a hard time listening to the screaming. Guess i have live with my bad chipping!

[@chrissmith9135]

chipping,pitching off a mat is so easy compared to a bare wet lie on uneven ground...Wish there were more instruction on how to go about those difficult lies. Off a mat the ball is always sitting pretty,with a nice cushion underneath it

[@rocks51]

I do hinge and hold and it works on all types of lies.

[@jamessawyer4625]

very good

[@youngguns996]

Great Instruction Michael. I know your subscriptions will grow because you have Great Content and you know what you are talking about (Teacher of The Year). It makes me SMDH when I see that a Real Certified PGA Pro like yourself has less subscribers than some of these Fake Self Proclaimed Instructors on KZbin. Keep the great content coming Michael. 👍

[@bradericksen3175]

I use both hinge and no hinge pitches. The no hinge is the 50 yard pitch using the 9 to 3 motion just like you did without meaning to. The hinged shot I use closer to the green to get more height.

Where has Michael Breed gone to in 2020??? Anyone?

[@jimwhite2341]

That’s a awesome display of great options to choose from

[@Mrequine1]

I don't like the term lag its got me in loads of trouble controlling club face!!

[@russhughes9273]

what irons are those?

[@jobssteve4175]

He said 54 degree wedge.

[@marcvanderbilt9324]

Good analysis of this swing which was nice and will be even better now!

[@carlmalacalza1264]

I’ve been working on Phil’s hinge approach. He emphasizes that the ball position should never be in the middle. Do you agree?

[@andym28]

He doesn't say that for all chipping. Watch the whole video.

[@Para2kk]

Finally someone promoting the "outside push" on the backswing - please explain something about the "Arm Swing Illusion"

[@uwrossl]

Exact video I was looking for! Had to save it so I can start using it all. Been trying to figure out ways to take spin off my wedges because they'll check up and spin back and I need to be able to take that out for certain shots. I had moved to the lower spinning Bridgestone Tour B RX from the Tour B XS to try and drop that spin but then I'd miss the spin when I really wanted it. Definitely going to start working through these.

[@sfink16]

I have a tendency to not follow through on some of my chips. For this reason I always tell myself not to decelerate when chipping. Your description of holding off the follow through has me concerned about decelerating when I try to hold off the follow through. How do I hold off the follow through without decelerating during the shot?

[@danpianki5205]

Don't think of it as holding off the follow-through, think of it as maintaining (or holding on to) THE ANGLE through contact and the follow-through. So the feel should be that your hands or the butt of the club are out in front, and you can still aggressively move the butt of the club/your hands through the ball while holding that angle. Does that help?

[@cbujik]

Is he back to the golf channel?

[@fradaja]

Simplest s no hinge

[@DrWatcher1958]

I find it confusing that you are advocating an over the top downswing?-or am I misunderstanding? You mentioned it once or twice and from behind you definitely show it.

[@ronaldallison3031]

I'm desperately trying to stop swinging out to in

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

In this case, the "over the top" is a correction for an excessive "in to out" motion. Corrections need to be practiced at double to actually arrive at the Correct Path.

[@sd619brian]

@rush58 he's telling him to 'feel' like he's over the top with his downswing because it will neutralize his in to out path. It's a feel thing for this particular swing fault, not everyone should practice this.

[@wilsonhung8654]

Very detailed and thorough, and points made with clarity. The best!

[@frednegus7017]

When you say hinge I know you mean cock. There is no hinge in the wrist ( per se ) and there is no hinge at the elbow. There is however a hinging motion which takes place at the lead shoulder. As Moe says : there are no twisting muscles. The take away is three dimensional : it goes back, up and in on the ratio of the inclination established at address. Your device shows effect ( which is ok ) but you really need to discuss CAUSE. Actually you would improve your instruction by understanding both. Cheers

[@marcussheldon9220]

Hi I think you need to watch The late Mike Austin’s methods. Blows every other methods how to hit a golf ball into orbital !

[@rgailun1113]

Michael, congratulations on your new project. This segment is the first I have seen and would suggest that it is much too long and complicated.Remember who is watching this...........enthusiastic but very amateur golfers. If I was to play golf today, I would have a hard time sorting out which of your multiple shots to hit. E.g. keep it simple. Also you need to respond to worthwhile questions........rush 58 below asks a very legitimate question regarding an out to in swing and you need to address it. You obviously have a deep knowledge of the game, and I look forward to hearing more from you

[@stackleft2925]

this is just terrible advice. you want this guy to move his hip back but his arms out? WTF?

[@rectolee2584]

Thank you so much 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️
