- NEW CHIPPING GRIP!
The CLAW!
Video explaining the positives, negatives and modifications I’ve made whilst using this new grip!

Another nice one, with Paul you were doing some great chipps, do not worry every thing will be alright on the night.
I’m ok when I’m practicing, but a different story under pressure!
I feel for you Lester, it is harder for me to bend over, but I have an old Rawlings 25 degree fairway metal that is becoming my chipping club. The longer shaft lets me stand a little more upright but it is, as you say a work in progress. Cheers from Texas. ⛳🏌️🤠
I’ve chipped with a wood before, but it tends to be the lofted clubs and shots over hazards I really struggle with Michael.
A lot of my golf is played with my son who has an excellent short game. His eyes light up when he's short sided over a bunker whilst I'm shaking like a shitting dog. I'm confident you'll put the work in and eventually look forward to it 👍
I feel your pain Phil 😂
It must be very hard for you if you had a good short game and then you lose confidence. It's very good of you to do this video Bernie to explain things . Keep up with the great work . I love your videos .
Cheers Jeff! It’s annoying as I hit the ball better these days! If only I could have put the two together 😂 thanks for the support.
I find turning the left foot out, say 10 o'clock, helps keep the body out of the way on the longer chips. Good luck
I stand almost side on for the longer chips / pitches now.
Good and HONEST video Lester. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much.
So glad that you’ve found something that makes the game more enjoyable Lester! I’ll admit the first time I saw you use it I thought this might be the end😂 It does make sense for you though having watched you for years, but also agreed with Dan when you used it on that longer pitch shot. I’m sure with practice you’ll find there’s a distance where you’re comfortable with a traditional grip. Until then use whatever helps get the ball in the hole!
I’m praying and hoping this is finally the solution Tyler! 😂 I won’t stop until I find it! 😂
@@berniebarnesgolf Rooting for you!! About 10 years ago I had the yips. Bladed or chunked every chip and pitch. Forced myself to try flop shots no matter the situation. Once I pulled a few off (after many more chunks and bladed shots), my hands seemed to come back and been good ever since. Golf is hard and weird!!
6:56 the good old shalongashot.... need real soft hands for that one.
😂 I don’t have them Daniel 😂
Nice buddy nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate
@@berniebarnesgolf no problem buddy. 👍🏻👍🏻
I've often felt that a change would help your chipping, best of luck
That’s what I’m hoping! It normally works for a few weeks and then doesn’t 😂
Go see ,or watch Dan grieve lester , I’ve watched u for years with Dan and feel for u because I was exactly the same which made me pack in for 3 years now it’s best part of my game .all the best pal
I’ll watch Peter as I can’t afford a lesson with Dan 😂
Consider James Wiltshire video as this solved my issues. That clip half way through, attack angle is nowhere near where it needs to be
I'm left handed but play right handed. Broke my hand some time ago and played a variation of that grip with all my clubs - I could push with the right hand but not grip. My handicap went down playing one handed and my swing plane was amazing. Struggled with 2 hands ever since lol. So anyway, for the longer chips try releasing the club out of your right hand - just use that hand to get the club toward or to the ball (controls the lag and turning the head over) and then only the left hand in the follow through. You get more control and power in the shot. I think it only works with left hand dominant (if you play right handed).
I’ll try that Peter! Thanks! Glad it’s working for you and you are able to play!
If i hit a bad period of chipping that is more than just a bad day on the course, i have found success with a 'baseball grip'. Hope you find a permanent solution that has you looking forward to your chips rather than not.
Thanks Briar, I actually hit full shots with a baseball grip!
Good to try something new. Think it can work as you say round the green.
Absolutely Richard! We keep trying 😂
Thanks Bernie. I am a terrible chipper but I’m sticking with Dan Grieve’s method and seeing some improvement. Regular practice is the answer eh?
I’m hoping it’s a bit of everything mate 😂
I have great admiration for your efforts to find a workable solution to chipping - keep going and you will end up with something that works for you, which is all that matters.
I’m hopping I’ll eventually find the long term solution John!
'Golf is Hard'.. damn right...😂😂😂
Too hard John 😂
"Gold is hard" - Never heard a truer statement!
Too hard at times Liam 😂
@@berniebarnesgolf I think a video on how to hit a hybrid properly would be interesting! I’m always torn between how to stand, do I set up like an iron shot (weight slightly on front foot) and hit down on it, or like a driver, weight on back foot and hit up on it? I guess it would depend on whether it’s tee’d up or not?
I can’t hit one either mate 😂 much prefer a 2 iron instead.
Thanks Lester for the update.
I'll be watching with interest how you go over the season with your new grip
Good Luck!
Thanks for watching!
Really interesting to see / hear how you are adapting techniques to solve the issues - look forward to seeing it action close-up soon!
It will be appearing in wales soon! 😂
Great video and love watching your stuff along with Dan Hendrickson. You should try and do a colab with Dan Grieve like Rick Shiels and Jimmy Ballard have done. Would be amazing and well worth it, his chipping technique is next level.
I’m not on there level Simon unfortunately he wouldn’t be interested.
@@berniebarnesgolf Maybe if you get together with Dan, you two could do something with him. It would be worth your while at least sending him a message and see if he's interested. You never know unless you ask.
I’m sure I know the answer, but I’ll send a message.
Good luck with the new grip or any other grip changes you’re experimenting with. Golf is definitely hard and we all need to constantly work on it. Cheers.
Thanks mate 😂 it’s a constant battle 😂
Top man lester !!! Honesty , warts and all ! Love it mate ❤
Cheers Phil! Much appreciated mate!
The claw works really well for JB on the chip and runs, so no reason it can't work for you. As you say confidence is key! I bought Dan Grieve's 3 releases book and and am practicing his technique. Tough at mo, but I get the principle so going to stick with it. Problem as we all know is transferring it to course when nerves kick in! Good luck mate
Agreed Simon! It’s hard to transfer it to the course as you say.
Well done Captain Nudger, it’s a silly game 😂
Cheers Craig! 😂
Normal grip , open the face by pre cocking the wrists , set the club where it hangs comfy (low point) and about an inch behind the ball ( do not hover)
Then just cut the club under the ball , adjust swing length to suit distance or obstructions . Pops up plops down , tight lies low runout , fluffy lies more run out 🤷🏻♂️
Wish it was that easy 😂
Thinking outside the box, would Golf Pride's new reverse-taper grip, though designed for putters, help your chipping? Less extreme, maybe no-taper grips would help. Cheers!
Worth a try I guess mate
Lester.... I teach youngsters and the best method I've found is................
the best way that works for YOU,we will all find a way that works for us and just STAY with it,why is anyone else's way of doing things right 🤔, what is right is what works for you...phew I'm glad I got that out there,not one size fits all. 🌟🎊🤩🥳
Totally agree John! Hoping it works 😂
Have you played around with bounces on your chipping wedge? Maybe a high bounce that you know you can throw at the ground might help take the thins out?
It’s funny you should say that Steve! Exactly what I’ve done this week!
@@berniebarnesgolf I’ve just changed too - I’ve always played a super low bounce but have just gone to an 8 degree cobra wedge so there was less margin for error, but you may even find a 12 or 14 like Dan uses might be what you need.
Here we go
Work in progress 😂
Work in progress 😂
@berniebarnesgolf my yips off the tee came a while back its fried my brain 🤣🤣🤣.. There's always something going on in my head 🤷♂️
I tend to use my 50/52 wedge for a 30yrd shot especially into wind to keep the ball down but I also pay around with my wedges for all sorts of shots and I think it’s just practice Bernie but I don’t practice enough really
Agreed David! I need to keep the practice up, I’ve been guilty of not doing that in recent years.
Like the Grip
Cheers Lars
Good luck Lester
Thanks Mick
I carry a 69 degree and use it to great effect, you must use your wrists and the bounce when chipping.
I’m looking at wedges with more bounce currently.
Stuff of nightmares that 🤣🤣
It’s a constant one too 😂
i never change something that works... #simples..
Absolutely agree!
You've gone down the rabbit hole for sure. Lucky you don''t play on grainy surfaces. For me, the only thing makes me better is more frequent practice. Even hitting 20 foam practice ball chips inside each day makes a huge difference.
I was really struggling and this grip seems to help. It’s more than likely the increased practice time, but I’m hopeful it’s partly the grip too!
@@berniebarnesgolf I love Occam's razor..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor . Summary "The simplest explanation is usually the best one". Which for me, means more practice in the hope that it builds confidence and consistency.
You not going back enough
One of a number of issues Damien 😂
