Watched this twice between Friday and Sunday. Practiced at range this morning, then walked 9 holes this evening. SUPER HELPFUL. My head was tilted back like driver set up and hands forward like low bum and run, hands ahead of everything. I evened my body, got my head pretty centered and choked down, then lightens grip and swung back and through with even swing, turning all the way through to the target. Course was empty this evening and I was able to drop several extra balls to do pitch shots from 40 yards into 3 feet. Most went well. One chipped in. Really happy with the results!

love this series where you bring in real golfers, and i mean mid to high handicappers with everyday issues we see on the course, it is so much more relatable to our games week in week out and not seeing a pro standing there going this is easy just do this(no disrespect to you too) but when you see golfers just like you with the same issues and you guys putting in the time and effort to show how you go about solving it and we see real results it is very encouraging. What a great video well done lads keep up the amazing work.

This video in my opinion is probably the best video I've ever seen throughout all the tutorials out there, not just because of the new colour shirts but you've got someone there who does something we all do, but you not only help the guy in what to do but the part where Andy came forward to the camera and address everyone to explain and show what you were doing and why was just pure genius and that alone will probably help more people to understand and makes them feel like it is them stood there being taught and not garath, brilliant video and I hope this is the way forward for you guys because even though you're up there with the best of them... This video definitely stepped you up there into a new league which others would nee to follow by your example 👍 well done guys and keep up the good work 👋

Last year, when I hit a patch struggling with frequent shanks, I practiced half then full shots with my eyes closed. I made decent contact every time and didn't hit a single shank. I learned to trust my swing mechanics. I still do the drill occasionally to 'tune my trust'. It works really well for putting too, especially in helping to 'feel' distance control.

@meandmygolf - Hey again guys. I haven't gotten around to chipping quite yet. Nor have I done much work on my driver. I've spent the last eight months reviewing your irons and wedges lessons, again and again and again. I've finally found a swing that will repeat and make decent contact, thanks to your videos and one small thing I remembered from my past. I never had much trouble chipping way back then, but this video just serves to reinforce my technique and helps me focus to not stray into bad habits. Another absolutely perfect lesson. Thanks. The driver is next!

Took the advice from your video to our club's practice facility today and instantly had success. The combination of the light grip, choking down on the club, and maintaining the "Y" with my arms/club was game changing. I holed several chips and left dozens and dozens within a manageable 4-5 feet range. If you're struggling with your chipping, THIS IS THE VIDEO TO WATCH! Thank you!!

I can’t thank you enough for this video! Short game used to be the best part of my game, hit some consistently bad shots and just lost all confidence. I tried to shorten up my swing.

Such simple advice but so meaningful!

Really liked how Andy took us aside to talk about the principles of what we’re trying to accomplish while Pierce worked on the player. I think (though we all have them) the individual faults of another player can be a bit mundane in the videos. But rather than just cut away, I like that you took advantage of the fact you have two coaches. It was a nice touch from a content providing/producing perspective. Thanks!

This is THE BEST instructional video I've seen for my chipping issues period and I swear that I've watched 100's if not 1000's of them. I really identify with the student. I am so riddled with anxiety hitting a chip shot at times that I literally whiff at the ball. When I do make contact I have the same outcome of double hitting, blading or grounding the club before the ball. I can't thanks guys enough. I know golf is just a game and supposed to be fun but if you can't chip it destroys your confidence and makes golf a miserable thing to do.

A HUGE thanks to you for this. Not for the shocking pink jumpers but for the chipping tip. I’ve been struggling for ages with chipping and despite lessons and watching heaps of KZbin vids i couldn’t sort it out. Then I watched this and recognised myself in your student as I was going g exactly the same thing and from the same awful position. Went on the course yesterday and it was just transformed. 3 up and downs from off the green, no duffs and just felt so easy and natural. No stress no worrying and it also had an effect on my whole round as I wasn’t thinking about the duff on the last green when I was on the next tee. Brilliant. Just brilliant 🤩 thanks

You're always going to get more views and help more people than actually give you feedback. I'm like a 28 handicap and struggle around the greens. Just recently I practiced some chipping and played one good round with solid chips and I guess I lost it the next few, anyhow... I went and implemented the techniques of this video. I was not focusing on distance but taking a 9 to 3 club path and I hit them consistent and straight. Yeah I shanked 3-4 out of 20 being a beginner and trying something new. On the first few I did a practice swing then hit the ball. On the 3rd one I did the eyes closed and hit the ball great. Straight, and flight and distance. I know every person and the feel or interpretation of instruction is different. I employed a few other thought paths that worked for me. First and foremost was keeping my lead wrist in flection. Chipping did not work otherwise for me. Second, swing path going around the body, not bag m back and forth/ up down. Lastly and don't know if correct, I had more weight on my lead foot. It started raining after those 20 balls and I came in. Can't wait to keep working on it. Ball was popping off the ground more effortlessly than ever before and using less bounce. Thanks guys, I just subscribed and look forward to more

Used to have an 8 handicap, but after 3 surgeries on my hand and hitting ripe age of 71, I was too frustrated with pitching and chipping to even venture onto a golf course. I continued to practice every day, hoping that I would find something that worked. Cross handed, split handed, even left handed......................... nothing worked. Typical one good shot, one skull, and then 1 fat. Watched a 1,000 videos................. Seve, Phil, Lee, all of them to no avail. So when I saw your video heading, I was of course skeptical. I learned to relax my right hand / arm, left hand thumb and forefinger provide the control, centered ball in stance, little shaft lean and presto my short game is back. Soft lofted shots with the lob wedge and solid chips with 8 iron. One thing I notice is that if my right side is totally relaxed on pitches and chips, at the end of the backswing there is a little wrist break tug that naturally occurs if I am truly swinging the club. Wonder if this will work for my lousy putting too. Thanks guys, for the best video on this important part of the game.

My exact problems. I chip not looking at the ball but out past it and just being aware where it is. Was always told my backswing was too long. But when shortened it lost tempo. Have tried chipping with one arm, either arm. Pracitce swings okay and then try and walk in and hit ball before I freeze. Still struggle and playing links golf get very tight lies. But will give closing the eyes a go. I think the posture, head and hand position are the best tips here. Used to be taught the old fashioned way, hands forward ball back in stance.
