Stop THINNING and FATTING chip shots (THREE easy tips!)

[@solozion]

Your getting upset and kicking the club is so 'authentic' and sort of funny😊

[@TimC887]

My flinch comes during the transition from back and thru. Can't tell you how many times my brain screamed "NOW!!!!" during the backswing. Results in thin and fat shots. Lack of practice I would say. Cheers Pete!

[@alansimpson2371]

I’ve gone through the same thing. Just using a putting stroke with an 8 iron really helped cure that flinch. Gave me more confidence around the greens.

[@kevinpriceukfr]

This is by far the best chipping instruction video I've ever seen. Brilliant!

[@joshuawebb6586]

Like the way you break things down, and really enjoy the tip type videos as much as the rest of the content you put out. Would like seeing more of these basically covering everything from green to tee. Always enjoy seeing how better players approach different shots, shot shapes, mechanics of that type shot etc.

[@ollyhann13]

Love it Pete mate 150th open you’re my winner

[@tylerhall7035]

Great new editing! 😳👏🏼 subtle but noticeable changes! 🔥🔥🔥

[@drew20238]

Peter - love these tips videos! Please keep them coming. Appreciate all your hard work.

[@JohnKostohryz]

This is one of the best videos related to chipping. Thank you!

[@alansimpson2371]

Great tips! And these production values are amazing 🤩

[@jonatanwallgren8360]

Great video!! Next tip video could be on 60-80 yard shots

[@rodgerwardle8037]

So, loved this video and took it straight to the course…after three horrible approach shots faced a 35 ft chip onto the second tier of the green….used this method and one bounce, hit the flag and dropped in the cup for a par!! Thanks Pete ⛳️

[@twin1barrett816]

U are my favourite KZbinr and it’s nice to watch u

[@LeoJacquesColbert]

02:02 Never thought a Peter Finch video could get better, but two Finchy bois in the same shot makes it at least 2X as good!

[@SentaiAce]

Took these tips on the course and shot my best round of the year!!! Thanks Pete!

[@Domevans04]

Love it Pete. Keep going Lad!

[@carlo129]

Great Tips

[@rafabonati7757]

Sternum forward to create a low point after the ball. This is a good tip. I need to start writing this stuff down in a little notebook and check things before each shot until it’s all in my brain box!

[@nikkoguanzon9132]

Thanks Pete!

[@bisson0824]

Very useful indeed, cheers Pete!

[@ruangoosen3345]

Nice Pete you helped me alot!

[@bryceborcovsky8979]

Great video Pete, I appreciate the tips 👍keep up the awesome work

[@Lewis-ue6nw]

The chunkinator comes out a lot when I play 😂😂

[@DaveyDubStep]

Yes Pete, love the instructional vids man, helped my game so much!

[@adriandutney4140]

great video....definitely a big help....thankyou

[@andyfox9724]

8 hcp golfer with yips round the greens, watched this video twice before my quater final . Got me out of jail more than once Thanks .

[@Falkcrona]

Great video! Will need this in my quest to break 90 and in my preparation for my ever first competition!

[@dapperdank3701]

Your the man, Mr Finch.

[@kevan4852]

lol. "Even the good chips are frustrating." Indeed they are, indeed they are. =D

[@p1miguel999]

thank you for the much needed lesson.

[@joelafives]

Thanks Pete

[@timothybevis6095]

Great tips as usual. Thanks

[@MrOvalle]

definitely gonna try this next time

[@christinegoulden7940]

Good one Peter, thank you. I am normally okay with my pitching, but looking at something you did during the demo looks like it will help me with longer irons, related to shaft lean at impact.

[@sterc2020]

Really enjoyed this style of video! Question, when looking at the ball for chip shots, would you focus on the back of the ball or the front?

[@Schnuffi666]

Peter knows what he is talking about😊 thanks

[@johnv4866]

great job

[@Mr_Bandez]

With thanks for the tips you have provided. My game has got a lot better. When on the edge of the green I either choose an 8 or 9 iron and it gets me right next to the hole

[@arnoudjonkers525]

great vid, thanks!

[@Stannyhand]

Just what I needed after a weekend of chunking my chips onto the green

[@tankeater]

Seriously. Just center the ball, and use a putting motion. This type of stuff is for a pro in my eyes. Keep the game simple. Center the ball, keep that triangle in your arms and shoulders and just do an easy rotation, like a put. Simplify your game

[@davehurley26]

Great video 👍

[@maalekar]

I've had too many putts from the short stuff around the green go bad due to stuff in that short grass. For me I feel like anything longer than 6" off the green is better chipped. I also find that pitching wedge before a high loft (like a 56 or the like) to have a better more consistent result.

[@josephmccabe7580]

Thank you I just had a huge outing with my short game holding me back.

[@hopefulgolf320]

Love the content!

[@anthonykidd6595]

Exactly what I need to work on. Barely missing fairways, missing lots of greens and then my chipping is terrible.

[@chrispearce9224]

Related to this chipping around the green; PETER...look up the Rule of 12. Using different irons depending how much green there is between ball and flag. Put your flare on it...BAM! Instant classic. Oh and touch on that it has become the rule of 11 since clubs are strong lofted these days.

[@davidallen6685]

Pete, I love chips. Usually with vinegar and lots of salt

[@teude]

That "chunky monkey" had so much passion and previous experiments behind it that i felt it all the way here

[@josenegron8145]

Thank you for the video. Very useful information. As a general comment, you should let a few seconds after the video to allow the viewer to press the "like" button. Sometimes it ends so quick I don't have the opportunity before a new video or AD starts. I will normally go back and press like, but I think that little change will help you get more "likes" in your videos.

[@biggie686]

I done a lot of work on my short game earlier in the year (was a 24hcp) and managed to get it into good shape and instantly my handicap started dropping, no better feeling in the world than chipping a ball to within 3 feet then 3 putting because its the only part of your game keeping your handicap up. Could you do a video about hitting out of various bunker types, nice fluffy lies, damp sand, hard compacted sand. We see a lot of this in the UK and tend only to get a nice sand early in the season when the full them up for medals.

[@mikethewhizz5085]

I chip with a gap wedge. I never putt on fringe because it helps keep my green putting consistent. It's a mental thing

[@dannybell926]

"You've hit a decent shot and ended up around the green" hahahaha Guess this video doesn't apply to me because that sure as hell never happens

[@4pitts1burgh28]

Drink everytime Pete says sternum. Being American the way you say sternum is great! I'll never say it the same again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@billgraves8555]

Good info, but not sure what the club throw was all about?

[@il-lupo]

Nice tips. Especially the one where you lead by example, being kind to ladybirds 🐞🐞🐞

[@GolfingMalky]

LOL Wish I had seen this before yesterdays round. My chip shots weren't just thinned they were anorexic. Cheers

[@jamestaylor4927]

Check out the production on this!! Better every video

[@Smit2088]

I see you’ve got a bit of Chris Ryan editing in here ;)

[@chipsatterly4902]

In the end, and after watching a thousand similar chipping/short pitching videos clips, I conclude that some degree of body rotation is necessary. If you don't start rotating, or worse, STOP rotating, the clubhead will ALWAYS pass your hands too early and you're %*c%ed. LOL. Good luck!!

[@il-lupo]

Just read that Shirley Bassey's first marriage was to Kenneth Hume in 1961. The couple separated in 1964 and divorced in 1965 in the wake of the singer's affair with actor Peter Finch. Was it 'our' Peter Finch in a form of time warp?

[@colinwallace2085]

You make it sound so easy but us crap golfer have a mountain of negative thoughts in the back swing, which causes us to either slow down or extend from the body, but I suppose it is like any skill, practice required

[@MarkM22]

Who’s your pick for The Open Pete? Tommy? Bryson? Lowry?

[@PrecisionAthletica]

No wrist brace? Are you back fully fit?! 👊

[@scouser97]

Could have done with this a week ago. Played Allerton Manor and my short game was abysmal to be kind

[@joeperez3520]

Speaking of trusting the "other" Pete, you and Rick never got around to talking about all the "other" Peter Finch's, when you were a guest on Rick's podcast.

[@FF04RDF]

Would like more coaching stuff from you ! (If that’s ok with you obv ) 👍🏻

[@scottbutler2761]

Can you please give Rick Shiels a short game lesson . Oh and Putting . And Irons as well . Thank you

[@danvranic2306]

that's a hilarious intro

[@tankeater]

I just started golfing and chip the same motion I put... I take the approach of simplify the game. Best round is 82 and average is 86. Haven't shot above 89 in ANY 18 I played. Always LISTEN to what your saying, just not understanding it. Maybe after I played more, but, why make the game so difficult?

[@markio2010]

I thinned every chip during my last round..every single one. Ironically I had practiced chipping the day before for 2hrs and I could not hit a bad chip even if I tried.

[@TheSquid9124]

Murph's faceeeeeee

[@dargs3993]

In my opinion the most important thing for a chip is commitment. If i have 80% commitment on a chip, its gonna be rubbish anyway.

[@JackoKelly1]

I need serious help from inside of 90 yards

[@ShawnyBGolf]

I just bump and run, close my eyes and hope for the best haha.

[@3x-ql4un]

Ricky boy has been eating good it seems

[@garyco766]

Nice, but this only covered 1 type of chip. slightly different approach when say, out of high rough and short-sided, or over a bunker.

[@custom158mission]

Yes good chips that misses the hole are the most frustrating haha

[@andrelavergne2084]

All the time Peter I always ask myself how hit my chip shot.

[@fiskfaan]

Could mr Finch or someone else till me how to (as accurate as possible) find my distances with different clubs when one does not own a simulator?

[@joejohnson6594]

Go to the range, they usually have yardage markers, and figure out which club you hit 150 yards. Not just with one shot but on a average of 10-20 shots. If it's your 8 iron, then your 7 iron will go approximately 160 yards. Your 9 iron approximately 140 yards. Good to have a range finder just to check the yardage markers just to make sure as they move the tee boxes forward and backward to minimize the damage to the ground. Just make sure you are doing full swings to get the distances

[@fiskfaan]

@@joejohnson6594 THANK YOU! =)

[@rocka7374]

Outstanding instruction and easy to follow - love both channels but actually prefer this Peter fellow to Rik Sheils
