The SECRET to a PERFECT Chipping Technique

Hope you guys can chip after this!

[@robertshawnmitchell]

Looks like your shoulders are very level, is that a thing you recommend when chipping?

[@jimmcewen9351]

Thank you Grant, hard to have confidence when you know your technique is bad

[@justdooit33]

I’d love to see more in-depth videos that get into different lies and types of chip shots. Also what lofts you would recommend for different types of shots.

[@chrissmith9135]

me too go a little more in depth...there are a million videos out there going over the basics..it really is no secret as he claims

[@johnmitchell8318]

It would interesting to hear more about how to play chip/pitch shots off a severe down/up slope

[@crown951]

Exactly…the only real problem I have is when the ball is sitting on top of a fluffy grass lie and my club has enough room to basically go underneath it or maybe maybe make contact with the top 3 grooves

[@davelibrarian3490]

The sweep/bounce concept was a game changer. Chipping is about the only thing I have confidence in now. Would like to see a video on ball striking especially with 7-9 & P irons including common pitfalls and their solutions (low hard slice, chunking, weak distance)

[@Chrislfaison]

I wanted to personally thank you for putting out this video! I am a perpetual 16-17 handicapper that has struggled with chipping/pitching for years. I took this advice to the range and the course and today, for the first time EVER, shot even par over 9 holes. I am still having trouble processing this. TBH, I figured out a couple of things with my driver as well, but the chipping/pitching has seen by far the largest improvement. Single digits, here I come! Thanks again.

[@Nxla-92751]

If you've been golfing for years and you're stuck at 16 HC - this stuff here is probably where you're losing strokes. 70% of golf is within 140 yards. Like you said, you shot even par on front 9. You're probably a true 6 HC if you stop losing strokes around the green.

[@ryanpoirier9914]

@@Nxla-92751 Thanks bro for absolutely nothing.

[@2319nak]

Hi Grant, since driving ranges don't simulate uphill and downhill lies can you make a video on where the ball needs to be in the stance, how your aim point changes, clubbing up/down, and overall on the course tips since its near impossible to practice? Keep up the great content and even better golf!

[@cameronjohn604]

Single digit handicap Canadian here. Great video man, I've been thinking about chipping a lot lately... After playing for 20+ years I think chipping may be one of the hardest parts of golf for new players. You can accidently hit good shots and even fluke putts in, but it's pretty dang hard to fake a chip shot. Especially if you have to put some air under it. Growing up in Canada I was lucky my Dad let me cut a makeshift green in the backyard. Couldn't putt on it but great for chipping. I can't say how many but I probably hit tens of thousands of chips over a few years. Chipping and pitching is the best part of my game now surprise surprise. Here's a tip for newer golfers. If you want to really lower your scores learn to chip and putt better. Get them reps in! Cheers

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

I couldn’t agree more. The ability to ‘up and down’ also takes the pressure off of your long game!!

[@MikeBriggs24]

Great video Grant. Some of the things that I would like to see are: 1) Full swing and how to move away from the ball and not sway 2) Compare the modern versus traditional bunker techniques 3) Setup and alignment with ball position for driver versus irons 4) Tee height for fairway finder 5) Putting philosophy, being a feel player versus mechanical 6) How to hit irons high, low, fade or draw 7) Course management, how to score and think around the course

[@richardspinner7708]

Your demeanor and knowledge make you an ideal teacher. I'm impressed with your presentation. Big muscles and a sweeping motion are the keys to chipping. Keep it simple! How about an episode on the adjustments senior golfers should make to enhance their golfing experience?

[@patrickanderson9079]

This was super helpful. Subscribed to your channel and love watching your KZbin golf rounds with other pros and amateurs.

[@MrJohnr47]

Great video. I’ve actually gotten a lot better around the greens because of your videos on your channel and the Good Good extras you used to do. One important point in chipping is that you have to have confidence in yourself to pull off the shot. I keep telling myself that I am good around the greens no matter how bad I am doing:setting myself up for success not failure.

[@smushemz92]

I normally chip the way i had seen in the ever popular Phil Mickelson "chipping 101" video, and while this works, it has not been super consistent for me and i often have the same mis-hits Grant is speaking of here! I saw this video early this AM, and snuck out a little early to get 9 in. I had been thinking of these concepts all day, went out, had a horrible driver day, and thanks to some very chill chipping, I still salvaged a 45. I know to most of you that is a terrible round, but I just started golfing in June 2023. My handicap was a calculated 27 when the "amateur vs Pro grip" video was released, I am now a calculated 21. I'm not saying Grant is the best teacher.....but 6 strokes is 6 strokes! lol Keep up the good work big dog! Thank you for helping us out!!

[@jpdst29]

Damn. 45 after only 6 months of golfing is great. I’ve been golfing close to 20 years and I don’t get 45 often.

[@smushemz92]

@@jpdst29 i blame the fanatic level of addiction golf has caused me. lol since i started playing, the longest i've gone between hitting balls is like 3 days. Plus lessons at least once a month, followed by pactice. I can't drive the ball for shit, and shot a 42 on the front of my home course after work last night.

[@jpdst29]

@@smushemz92 I am the opposite. My driver never fails to hit the fairway, but I can't hit irons or chip or pitch to save my life. Every year I tell myself I am going to get lessons and I never do. lol. Maybe this year... =)

[@alexbrashear4866]

Super helpful! Would love to see different chip scenarios (e.g. out of rough, etc)

[@dermot3762]

Nice video. I live in Ireland and the Golf courses are absolutely saturated here at the moment with all the rain. I feel the shot at 5:04 where if you hit behind the ball, it would end up up as a chunk shot here because the ground is so wet and muddy the club will go through it like a hot knife through butter. Where as during the summer it would work like a charm. We need different types of chip shots for different times of year over here lol

[@nickackley2824]

Would love to see a video on early extension! As a someone who is struggling to shallow and get the right rotation it would be really helpful

[@chrispearce5479]

New golfer here! Really like your technique when it comes to explaining things, a putting vid for beginners would be awesome! From the grip to the technique!

[@per_growth]

For the more advanced players - it would be interesting to hear about how to THINK properly on the course. How to bounce back after a bad hole/round.

[@pt9373]

You can't teach a personality trait. I never get upset on the golf course, and am in a good mood. Some people break clubs. Not much he can say to make you "think properly" just relax and move on.

[@joshrigdon633]

[@seadonkey6913]

You’re not getting paid to play a game. Who cares what you shoot?

[@luctremblay1260]

.... Go se a therapist

[@per_growth]

@@pt9373 I find some of my playing partners who are scratch players have a different mindset when it comes to playing the game. They putt differently (the mindset seems to be more of "make it" rather than "don't three putt") - of course this is just one example. The reason I ask for Grant's input is when I watch his videos - he always seems to be on the positive side of things (ie: I will get this up and down for an eagle). Obviously a very talented player - I would like to hear more about his insights, partly to get a glimpse as well of how he thinks when he plays - and hopefully I can learn and apply some of it on my own game.

[@naumsennicov9388]

Great job, Grant and Team! You guys are about to really raise the bar to a new standard in the YT golf world and golf world in general! I was literally at the putting green this morning working on this exact shot and YT recommended this video to watch. Wow, that is awesome. Ok, now onto actually watching the video!

[@guillermor.5862]

Hi Grant, good stuff! I would like to hear more about chipping, in addition from doing it from the rough, on doing it with the ball above/below one's feet and on a downslope/upslope. I find most people I play with generally do a good job when chipping from a flat, good lie such as the one in the video, but struggle with bad lies.

I like his approach to chipping. Every teacher has their strengths. This guy gave Phil a lesson on the course as well. Good on him!

[@AdrianoLoparco]

Great video Grant! Would love to see chipping from different lies, and how to gauge different distances using the chipping technique

[@76MUTiger]

Topics: distance control with clockface or other analogy, when to open or close clubface, which club to use because of fly vs. roll on green, when to use fairway woods or utility woods to chip with, chipping up a big hill (i.e. 6') to a close pin vs. chipping downhill to a short pin. How to practice, such as are there 6-8 chips that if we practiced them regularly we would be prepared for most things?

[@gregorahellus7230]

More bunker play, please!!! Great videos so far... ! Thanks so much....

[@aaranmccann125]

Hi Grant. Would love some help with wrist setting in the back swing to help get pure/solid strikes. Tendency is having a "cupped" lead wrist rather than it being straight or bowed. Great video here, can't wait to practice this. Look forward to your next one!

Grant, you probably won't read this, but I watched this 6 or 7 months ago, and this changed my chipping game. I'm literally dropping my scores. Appreciate you, brother. I'm sure a lot of golfers do.

[@MaverickFJR]

Great video! I’d love to see your method for hitting higher shots with mid and long irons. I learned to play golf in Texas where low flighted shots are a must in the windy conditions. However, now that I live in Arizona, I really need to hit my 5-9 irons higher so the ball lands softer. Thanks!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent job Grant in explaining the cause of "chunk" shots around the green. I use to never have trouble with this shot, but here lately, it is plaguing me. After viewing this video, I think my main problem was weight distribution and hand position. I will definitely be making your recommended corrections! Well Done Grant! I've also become a new subscriber!

[@lukeforte9731]

Hey Grant! Huge fan. I watch all your videos. Would love to see you explain your iron striking technique. Stance at address, ball positions, shoulder turn, wrist angles, shallowing, follow through, swing thoughts etc. As you have such a flawless swing, I think there is something in that video for beginners to advanced students. Also, I know you’ve done bunkers before, but more of a deep dive on bunkers in the future would be ideal. How hard to swing, high faced bunkers, width of your stance, finish positions etc.

[@drh488]

Thanks for the awesome video, Grant! Super helpful around the green! As a beginner, I think short game is one of my weakest areas, especially putting. I'll play a round and often have around 44-49 putts, which feels terrible when I think "If I just got closer to 36, I'd be breaking 90". So personally, I'd like to see you cover putting in a video, specifically the following: - Properly gripping a putter - Putting technique - How to/drills to practice putting

Great job. I would like to see and hear the decision making for club selection for a shot to the green. Perhaps you change it up based on firmness of the green, so flighting it in higher with a higher lofted club. Perhaps trying to keep it lower for a roll onto the green, etc.. you are changing up your “normal distance” club for something else based on conditions or other reasons.

Love the short game videos. Most amateurs like myself have such inconsistent short games. We seem to hit our approach shots around the green as opposed to on the green like you're supposed to.
