![]() That’s one of the biggest myths out there, and I think it will really hurt your game when you’re doing that, if you try to lock the knees on there. In my putting stroke, my lower body isn’t going to move at all and I’m going to go back and forth. These are definitely not still knees, this is definitely not a putting stroke. Notice here as I finish up, two good chips up there a foot from the hole, look at where my knees ended up. The big muscles, my hips, my shoulders, my body, all that’s creating the speed and my arms feel like they’re just kind of swinging with my body, not really adding a ton of speed on there in addition to what my body’s doing. Now the cool thing about when I let my knees pivot, when I rock back and forth like this, is now my momentum of my body can create the speed. They’re going to let their knees go ahead and pivot. If there’s any kind of distance on it at all, they’re not going to be using that technique. ![]() You won’t find any pros doing it that way unless they’re just right by the green and trying to just barely bump on up there. If you look at my knees, my knees are staying facing forward and now I have to use a lot of hands and arms to keep that club moving. Notice when I do the putting stroke, my hands and arms have to a lot of the work, and my body isn’t rotating to create the momentum. Now one of the biggest misconceptions I have in this, and I think destroys people’s chipping is we have the idea that we’re going to set up with our feet square, we’re going to set up looking down at the ball, and it’s going to be kind of a putting stroke. Here I’m predominantly talking about chipping, which again, is very little wrist set. I have a really good video on the differences, the full differences between chipping and pitching, so be sure to check that out if you still have some question on that. Whereas if I’m chipping the ball here, I’m simply going to rock back and through and keep it pretty simple as I’m doing that. If I was pitching the ball, I might get a little bit more hinge, and then let it fold up. ![]() There’s going to be a little bit of a flow to this, so as I go back and through, there’ll be a little bit of a wrist set.Īs I come through, a little bit of a wrist set, but it’s not going to be a really aggressive wrist action where I’m getting a lot of hinge like that. I’m not really going to get a ton of lag, and then really try to put a lot of aggressive acceleration through there, or I’m not really going to have a lot of hand and wrist action. The main difference is, whenever I’m chipping, I’m not going to have a ton of wrist action. ![]() I could chip from right by the green, I could chip from 60, 70 feet from the pin, a variety of places. It’s not necessarily how you’re doing this, or what club you’re using, how far away you are. ![]() Here’s one of the first things, and with chipping, there’s a difference between chipping and pitching, and it’s a technique. Let’s jump in, we’re going to have a ton of techniques, so grab your wedge right now and let’s get to it. We’re going to bust dozens of myths in chipping, and talk about one of the best ways to do this through all facets in technique to make it as simple and easy as what I hopefully make it look like today. Make sure you come back to this, because we’re going to have an absolute ton of information. You’re going to want to make sure that you save this video, put a book mark on this. I’ll hit some good ones, I’m going to hit a few bad ones, but we’re going to actually see the results as I’m hitting through this. I’m going to hit 20 or 30 shots to this one flag from here, it’s about maybe 50 feet away or so. It’s actually my personal belief that chipping is easy.Ĭhipping can be one of the easiest things you can do, and I’m going to sit here and hit, now it’s easy for someone to say hey do this, and this, and this in a video and not hit any shots. All right, this is going to be a really fun video. ![]()
