Chipping is my favorite part of golf. Some great tips Danny. Can I add 1 more. Don’t be afraid to make a bad chip. Even the best in the world sometimes fluff a chip. It happens and if you accept it, chipping can be much more fun.
Okay, I rarely comment on any videos (maybe never?), but this deserves one. I played two rounds of golf over the weekend, and using this method to chip probably saved me 2 strokes each round. In fact, I even chipped one in from the side of the green. I found that I was able to get a really good feel for both distance and aim. I highly recommend!
I tried this at the course today and wow, the ‘pop’ really helps to get a solid contact. I have not had a chipping confidence in quite sometime. My playing partners asked me what was I doing different and was happy to share your video instructions. Thanks Danny.
I also went to the course to try this out and it worked magic. I've been trying so many things from different youtubers. I've decided to only take advice from one and I've chosen Danny. Oh I also chipped in for birdie using this method. Great video once again.
I had no confidence with my 56 deg wedge around the greens over the last few years- lot of thin and fat chips followed by 3 putts. Thanks Danny for the great vids on chipping around the green- my short game has improved immensely this summer! You have a nice way of explaining and breaking down golf shots for all levels of golfers.
Awesome tip Danny, many thanks, love the "pop", letting gravity do the work and the letter L, it gives great visual and cements the whole sequence together
Very timely for me Danny - thanks. These short chips are terrifying for me - 90% of my ‘unforced error’ shots happen here - my putting is pretty good, my variable drives can be rescued, but I often fluff short chips - sometimes following a fluffed 3 foot chip with an over compensated thin that shoots away- and those extra shots add up! Mike
Danny!! I know nothing about golf. I started three weeks ago with my 22 yr old son. I talk to you all the way through my practice. Your videos are fantastic. My chipping tonight was terrible...so I just watched this video again. I love the mechanics and the challenge of this game. A la Mode...Danny Maude! Your videos are so helpful! Thanks from Canada🇨🇦! I love the video driving vs irons. Soooo much to learn!! You’re great!!!
I love Danny’s descriptions. I can visualize myself hitting the ball the same way as instructed. My golf game has certainly improved watching these videos. Thankyou
I just picked up the VR Quest 2 and downloaded Golf+ (I got hook to the PS2's Tiger Woods PGA '5) and now all these years later..... FUN FUN FUN, Danny's videos helped me too in VR..
I am 56 and just now learning!! Your short videos and so down to earth explanations have helped immensely with my feeling of... "I won't ever get this!"... Thanks so much for all you do!
What great, easy to follow, instruction for such a critical, oftentimes troublesome, aspect of the game. I've searched high and low for help with my chipping yips (including even Phil Mickelson's videos) and this man has imparted a solid technique that I've taken and now use effectively. Buds have stopped shaking their heads and laughing at me now. What a relief.
These are my favourite shots btw. So satisfying (when they do work). There's no greater feeling than a nice and precise chip right onto the green. That sound is just something else...
I have watched several golf instruction videos but I have to say that your's are the ones for me! My chipping was awful and inconsistent but now i'm seeing impressive improvement with your great videos. Thank you and keep up the good work :)
Watched this and thought, hey that's me! Played yesterday and cut 6 shots off my normal score, even chipped in once. It was so easy to do, so thanks Danny!
Watched this video re chipping this morning and tried it on the course today. It just worked. I have been really struggling with chipping lately, and can’t believe the difference this made. Hopefully tomorrow will continue. Many thanks, great help.
Great video, Danny. I have a great visualisation tip for short game distance control (for putting too). Do three practice swings: one that would be too hard; one that would be too weak; and the third one just right. Give it a go.
Best explanation ever of how ball spin affects the roll out on the green. Watching your stroke, you can see that your backswing is the length as your follow through and it is a nice easy "putter-like" stroke. I love your showing how the alignment stripe on a ball can help you get the ball rolling/spinning true. When in the yard, I will use the two color Skilz (black/yellow) to show spin. Much the same principle. Great lesson to use when working on the chips around the green in the backyard!
Like when you repeat a lesson as you are doing today. I have been practicing this chipping technique and is very effective Simple and repeatable Thank you for all you do As a senior golfer my ball striking has improved steadily Really liked your suggestion to say one hundred and on the back swing and one on the downswing also the image of a spiral pivot on the back swing helps me to get in a good position at the top You are the best golf instructor
Amazing tips! I’m 11 and play of 22 handicap index and your videos have helped so much! I deliberately get up for 8 am on a Saturday so I can see your video immediately! Thanks
I'm impressed every time he intentionally mishits a shot a particular way. That really proves just how good of a teacher he is. If you know exactly what's happening in a bad shot, you can pin-point how to correct it.
I just happen to stumble upon this video last night, and remembered it when I played a quick nine today... I cannot thank you enough for the improvement in my game. I only hope I remember it in future games, as it made a measurable difference in my play today
Hi again Danny. I’m a ~21 handicapper and have always struggled with my short game. Historically, I’d either attempt to putt from a crazy distance out or usually fat/thin my 58 degree to an embarrassing end. I’ve just returned from our annual golf tournament (Celtic Manor this year) with a first place trophy. Using the methods outlined here (and practicing before) I felt incredibly confident around the greens. I’d find myself looking forward to taking out my Gap wedge, attacking the shot and usually leaving it ~6 foot from the pin if not in gimme territory. It takes out the complexity and leaves an extremely manageable shot. I 3-putted only 6 times across 3 rounds and managed 39 stableford points on the 2010 course on the last day. Just wanted to extend a massive thanks for all your advice and time taken on these videos, this one has genuinely reinvigorated my love of golf. You may have one and I haven’t yet found it, but a video on sensible course management tips for ~15-25 handicappers would be really helpful if you’re looking for ideas 😆 as mentioned before, I also have the same shoes, so maybe that’s it 😉 thanks again.
Danny, its because of your videos im able to play rounds. You fixed my driver, you fixed my iron shots and now your fixing my chipping shots. Thank you for this content!! 🔥🔥
Great Job! Love how you keep your head down. So many of us weekend hackers look up before they even hit the ball. Nothing ever good is going to come of that.
The heel up method was first introduced by the legendary short game wizard, Phil Rogers. I’ve been using it for years. Cheers Danny for reintroducing it to a new generation. It’s really a great method to use!
Thanks Danny great video!! Really high quality you definitely explained what I was doing wrong I was a hand Drager can’t wait to Practice this at the range tomorrow!!!
Good video Danny. One off the things that has helped me with chipping was your suggestion to weaken (or was it strengthen) the left wrist for these chips. Basically turn the left wrist so it faces the target. Keeps everything more in line. Cheers
Thanks for this. I completely now see why I duff some of these shots as I try to place them. Will be practicing this later, I tend to use an 8 iron rather than 9. Cheers Kev
Great chipping tips Danny, have only been using a P wedge to chip and run. Will try the 9iron chip and run shot next time. But it's very tough to chip when grass is wet so would be great to hear some techniques of yours...keep up the great work Danny.
Great video Danny...I've always struggled with those types of shots, glad somebody clarified it. Also, im glad that you hit some chip shots in the mud, nobody EVER shows how to hit shots from really bad lies...I would love to see more videos on recovering from bad lies...i.e. mud, hardpack, bad bunkers, grass grain growing towards the club.....so on and so forth.....
Thanks Danny. Looking forward to try this technique. One question though. Being the shaft more vertical, Will the grip be more in the palm of the hands like when putting?
Thanks for this refresher Danny. I had gotten away from doing this, but made it part of my game this morning and it paid off big time. Your instructions and demos are easy to understand and follow, and seem to work really well for me. Keep them coming :)
I really like this chipping technique Danny! I started using this technique a month or so ago using the five, seven, eight, nine irons (depending on distance to the pin). I have not used it with the wedges. However, after the many chunks I had yesterday, they will also become part of this technique. Always enjoy and learn from your videos!
Played a round yesterday and this is where I lost a ton of momentum. After watching this, I could see why I thin theses shots - always clear directions! Thanks Danny. Now it’s off to work on it.
Love the “pop” idea which helps keep crisp contact. Two other common mistakes I see leading to fat shots is the knees dipping and trail shoulder working down and not through impact. Would be great to see a video on that too
Another stellar instruction video. I applied these pointers literally without any practice time, just straight to the course, and was able to get up and down to save par practically every time. I'm a 16 HC and others in my group were asking ME for tips on how to hit these shots. TYVM
Danny. Just found you not too long ago. It’s raining here but I still want to go golfing to try the newfound knowledge that you have given me. Thank you.
Thanks for the great tips, Danny. One thing that has helped my chipping tremendously is ball position. Focusing on catching the ball just before the bottom of the swing has improved the ball strike, which makes all the difference. If I have a predictable strike, everything else seems to fall into place.
Shot 47 in my 9-hole league last week. You have covered my weakest link, chipping. If I had you playing my ball from ten yards and in I reckon I would have shot 41. New goal!
Great video Danny. I've a tendency to "pull out" of a chip thinking I'm going to hit it too hard and then decelerate before the ball and end up duffing it well short. Your 'pendulum' explanation is simple to follow (as usual) I'll give that a try tomorrow & report back 😊
I never comment on videos, but for this one I had to. These tips and thoughts have totally transformed by chipping. The L shape description has improved my consistency so so much. Thanks for the great video. It's helped me enjoy chipping.
As usual Danny, another great video, thanks !! As the club lies on its toe, which part of the club face hits the ball ? The sweet - spot or more in the "toe area" ?
This couldn’t have come at a better time. The ‘fringes’ of the greens are so lush and thick following the warm, wet weather and chipping accurately can be a nightmare.
Great tip again Danny. I have been playing more of these shots recently, alternating between 9 and 8 iron depending on what mounds I have to cover to reach the green. I am still not confident on distance control though…any thoughts on how to gauge distance, especially when landing it pre green?
I might add the general rule of picking a landing spot about one third of the distance to the hole allowing two thirds distance runout, regarding the lower flying chip shots.
Lol, the first 2 hits was me 6 months ago when I first started. Never again with your help, Rick shiels and MrShortGame. You guys change my golf game instantly as a rookie. From 100+ to nearly breaking 90.
I put my mate onto this video Danny (i.e. you) and after he watched it he put it into practice yesterday. Great results; he was rapt. Great instruction, again, mate.
Great lesson, Danny. I have been struggling with my chips, with solid contact and getting the ball to roll out. I used to use the “hands forward method”, I got the ball to roll out but again struggled getting the leading edge stuck in the ground. Now I am trying to use the bounce of a more lofted club to get a more consistent strike, but this method seem to pop the ball higher, with less roll out and some back spin. Do you have any suggestions?
Great instruction as always, Danny. Thank you! One question I have with regards to distance control… In addition to using club loft to use different release roll towards the hole, should I be choosing an aiming point on the green and adjusting any swing power to clear the various rough lies between the ball position and the smooth surface? TiA
Mr. Maude, Thank You!!! I tried everything You taught in this Lesson. Chipping became a lot of Fun on the Chipping Green. I wasn’t perfect but a Great Starting point for Me to improve on. Thank You, Art, Japan
Daniel thank you so much for all your instructional videos. I went this morning to the range and brought my ipad and had this video on in front of me, and my god i feel so kuch kore confident in my chipping. I really appreciate how easy you make the process from start to finish. God bless my friend!
I promise I do NOT sell for Taylor Made!! I’m an 11, recently bought a 62 degree hi toe wedge and it has saved me many strokes already (and HUGE) bragging rights!! phenomenal around the greens…I call it the flop-n-stop!!! Highly recommend
I'm sure you must be telepathic you always seem to know what video's to release each week to help my game. Thanks as always Danny. Have a great weekend.
This might be the greatest chipping video of all time. It works so well I will never switch to anything else. For real, this is awesome. Thanks for showing us this Danny
Chipping is my favorite part of golf. Some great tips Danny. Can I add 1 more. Don’t be afraid to make a bad chip. Even the best in the world sometimes fluff a chip. It happens and if you accept it, chipping can be much more fun.

Same, I’m a girl but I love it.
Great tip, thank you.
Hi
Hit the green and chipping is irrelevant. Peasants.
Okay, I rarely comment on any videos (maybe never?), but this deserves one. I played two rounds of golf over the weekend, and using this method to chip probably saved me 2 strokes each round. In fact, I even chipped one in from the side of the green. I found that I was able to get a really good feel for both distance and aim. I highly recommend!

After years of struggle. My playing partners and pros have all tried, but this lesson has greatly improved my chipping thanks so much
That’s wonderful Roger, really happy it helped

Thank you Anthony, happy to help
You said it: Be confident with this shot. Uncertainty and hesitation ruins these shots most of the time. Practice is key. Thanks, Danny.
It is indeed Craig

I’m there to support you always Anthony 😁
Great analogy! You can tell he feels the pain of the average golfer out there :-).
I've been working on chipping this week, and have been frustrated. But now I'm going to try this. Thanks.

Can’t wait to implement this!! Definitely describing a weakness for me. Started playing this year and your driving video helped me tremendously!!
I have been hitting the ball so much better. Golf is fun now. All my friends hear about how DannyEffingMaude helps me. Thank you.

Hats brilliant Alan, happy to help
These green side chips are killing me at the moment! Looking forward to trying this
Have fun
I've watched countless videos on chipping... and this is by far the best!

Thanks Danny. Looking forward to try this technique. One question though. Being the shaft more vertical, Will the grip be more in the palm of the hands like when putting?
it will indeed Carlos
POP it! (with tempo) Not a slow-long-lose movement. That is the part that resonates with me. TY again Danny Maude

Shot 47 in my 9-hole league last week. You have covered my weakest link, chipping. If I had you playing my ball from ten yards and in I reckon I would have shot 41. New goal!
Keep practicing you can do it
Great video Danny. I've a tendency to "pull out" of a chip thinking I'm going to hit it too hard and then decelerate before the ball and end up duffing it well short.

Improve your consistency of strike and your distance will automatically improve 👍

I put my mate onto this video Danny (i.e. you) and after he watched it he put it into practice yesterday. Great results; he was rapt. Great instruction, again, mate.
Great lesson, Danny. I have been struggling with my chips, with solid contact and getting the ball to roll out. I used to use the “hands forward method”, I got the ball to roll out but again struggled getting the leading edge stuck in the ground. Now I am trying to use the bounce of a more lofted club to get a more consistent strike, but this method seem to pop the ball higher, with less roll out and some back spin. Do you have any suggestions?
Exactly this technique I’m using here will be perfect for this
those 2 opening flubs you show are the very definition of what my chips usually loo like... many thanks for this vid...
pleasure, hope the lesson helps
Great instruction as always, Danny. Thank you!
One question I have with regards to distance control…
In addition to using club loft to use different release roll towards the hole, should I be choosing an aiming point on the green and adjusting any swing power to clear the various rough lies between the ball position and the smooth surface? TiA
Absolutely, give it go and let me know
Mr. Maude,

Hey Danny my problem shot is when there is no green to work with like maybe five feet to the pin but three feet of rough to deal with.
Daniel thank you so much for all your instructional videos. I went this morning to the range and brought my ipad and had this video on in front of me, and my god i feel so kuch kore confident in my chipping. I really appreciate how easy you make the process from start to finish.
God bless my friend!
That’s wonderful to hear, well done
Thank you Brentolini! Appreciate you taking the time to comment 😁
Love it! I hope you will soon cover the flop shot, my personal favourite. Why, you ask? Bragging rights, that's all. 😁
funny, everyone loves the flop
I promise I do NOT sell for Taylor Made!! I’m an 11, recently bought a 62 degree hi toe wedge and it has saved me many strokes already (and HUGE) bragging rights!! phenomenal around the greens…I call it the flop-n-stop!!! Highly recommend
I'm sure you must be telepathic you always seem to know what video's to release each week to help my game. Thanks as always Danny. Have a great weekend.
And you Jullian, important lesson this one
Great tips Danny I reckon you’ve been following me around the course to see some dodgy chipping😂
I have my spies out everywhere 😂
Thank you Danny for the best ever short game tips .I was chipping like your wife but now i look forward to a game of golf , and it works.
That’s brilliant, well done and thanks for taking the time to share
Hi Danny, I tried this during my round yesterday with much success. What is this check spin I’m getting now?
If you want to get the ball releasing a little more you could move it back in your stance a little or take a less lofted club
Thanks for this tip, clear to see what causes the fat and thin on this strike!
Really hope it helps your chip shots around the green
I find it helpful to imagine striking a match.
that great James, thanks for sharing
This might be the greatest chipping video of all time. It works so well I will never switch to anything else. For real, this is awesome. Thanks for showing us this Danny
No problem JD appreciate the support!
So Danny, I equate the “pop” as continuing to accelerate through the strike and not slowing. Is that the same?
Absolutely
