@@braddalkegolf Personally I think you have the best swing in Good Good (Kwon too). Hitting the nipper is a favourite shot of mine and i have been a bit rusty with it so this is a good refresher for it. The feel I have is that i release it like a bunker or a flop shot. Works 80% of the time haha.
FINALLY!! An instructional video that walked me through the shot piece by piece with common, easy to understand language and not the technical jargon. EXCELLENT LESSON!!
Love the feel style teaching! Much easier to relate to than some of these very technical analytical teaching videos out there. Well done Brad! I am a high hcp that has somehow always had the nipper down and a good short game but my driving/woods are terrible so I look forward to that video!
You have been a great addition to the team Brad. I consider myself 'pretty good' around the green, but you are next, next level! Great advice especially when you say the most important part is to practice a lot. You make it look easy, but that's a tough shot! (Now I have to start opening that face)!
This is awesome. I've always had good hands around the green and use this open club face but get speed through the zone and partially close it at impact technique for high shots with the ball off my front foot. Can't wait to go get this for the nipper!
I REALLY appreciate you guys putting this channel together and teaching different aspects of the swing and different shots. Brad is an excellent teacher and how he presents the i formation is fantastic! Learning new shots and how to practice is a big key to getting better. I look forward to seeing more here. Thanks guys!!
I am loving what you, Brad, are doing with this channel. I do like your style of instruction as it it helping me even at the advanced age of 70. I am about a 9 handicapper but always look for ways to continue to improve my short game since I have lost a lot of distance. Thanks!
Thank you SO MUCH for these tips. I am a decent chipper, but i work hard at it. I love finding ways to improve around the green, and this helped. I don't know why I never thought to open the face AND have the ball in the back of the stance. I do one without the other for the desired loft or run out, but I couldn't get a good nip shot. These tips are what I will be working on tonight!!! Boomer!!!!
I love how you teach. Just how you are able to articulate makes it easier to follow! How you're able to not get caught up in that youtube mumbo jumbo! 😂
Love using this thanks Brad not quite back spinning it like you but stopping it dead!! Have started using this technique in bunkers too and it is working a treat with the wet sand in England atm
SOB! I watched the beginner and intermediate parts of this video and off to the practice range I went. Adding swing speed to my wedge shots and now the ball just flies off the club face with lots of spin. The club stopping chunks into the ground are now replaced with divots. Now the practice will be how far back to take the club for the distance needed. Thanks Brad, your video is a game changer. R
Great vid. In the advanced section you talk about the release & this is where we also see body rotation. Perhaps you could talk about that as this is key to a beginner who tends just to use arms back & through mostly leading to poor strikes.
You're super switched on to your feels and that makes you a great teacher. Cheers Brad been waiting for this one, can't wait to get up the practice green
Thanks for these tips! Could you make a video on how to compress the ball and take divots with full shots ? I’d also love to see a video on full wedge shots as well :)
You’re awesome at those shots. Great lesson. One thing I would add that helps me is to open the club face before gripping the club. It keeps me from shutting the face down too much at impact IMO
Brad, would love to see some tips when the ball is sitting down in the bermuda grass around the green and you need to hit a pitch shot. Also, thick bermuda rough hitting approach shots.
Just watched you tube championship and wished you Garret, Luke would have been invited, think it would have been a little different, love the knowledge you have about the swing Brad.
Thanks for this, Brad, very interesting... I'm definitely at the beginner level... and I'm wondering why, when the clubface is that far open, why the ball doesn't squirt out to the right? Can you elaborate on where your feet are relative to the target, etc.? - Also, what about trajectory? Thanks again, keep up the good work!
As someone who loves hitting the nipper I can't tell you how much you have to practice practice practice before you're comfortable doing this on the course. But like he said, to have this shot in your bag is absolutely invaluable
Great pointers love the video. Just a question perhaps for another video. What would the best technique be to utilize the bounce of your wedge to get better contact?
I know this is a swing channel but i request that you teach us more advanced golfers course management and mental lesson as a half decent golfer I don't think trying to get my swing when i already hit it fine some people like me need to just need to lean across that finish line to get into the 60s
Hi Brad. Love the content. Can you tell me what loft and bounce you use around the greens. I have Bettinardi wedges. 56 degree with 14 degrees of bounce and 60 degree with 8 degrees of bounce. Is one better?
Good good, I started golfing last year and completely dove in I’m trying to make golf my career and teach people so i am completely different than the avg player I take it very serious. I’m shooting high 70’s-low 80’s from the tips in my second season. Bring me out and give me some lessons I think you guys can get me to scratch. I promise you I’m different, I’ve spent all my money to get where I’m at and anything I earn goes towards it. It’s a struggle rn but it will pay off!
One thing is to also take a practice swing. Likely will have to clean the grass off. It gives you a feel. It's a feel shot. Keep feet close and don't pull your arms back too far.
Got a question for you Brad. Noticed you didn’t mention anything about grip pressure and just wondering what your thoughts were on that? I can make the same chipping action but with firmer hands it comes out way harder. With soft hands and generating a load of club head speed it would come out softer, or do you prefer a tighter grip?
That's my biggest mess up in chipping, the decel. I've gotten way better, but sometimes that little voice screams in my head, "Slow down!" near impact. Duff dang near every time. Bring back the labs jingle! Thanks, Brad!
not sure if I missed it in my first watch through, but was there any mention of what bounce you are using for shots like this off tighter lies? Guessing it is fairly low but just not sure how low for these specific types of shots
Love the content and the tips. Any way to make a video about hitting a driver? I’m barely getting into golf and Good Good is what makes me even more excited to play. My driver keeps on slicing
Thanks Brad... But how do you have the face so open and not have the ball pop up, but rather shoot forward 3 feet high and spin fast so it checks up hard?
I went and tried this on the practice green. I was able to get good spin (greens are soft right now in Portland and I was making little zippy ball marks) but not less roll out than a high trajectory pitch shot (not a flop). I was hitting maybe 15 yard shots. Is this only the short sided shot from longer range where you can get more spin or an I doing it wrong?
Is club selection only preference around greens? I have both a 54 and a 60 degree I got my 54 more recently so I use it more since it’s in much better condition but I notice my chips roll out more since there’s less loft (also my sixty degree is hand me down old and rusty but still effective) maybe too effective since rust could grab ball more and help it check up… what are some thoughts… I would love to see a video with more nuance about club selection and when you may want to switch chipping wedges.
Feet alignment in relation to target wasn’t really mentioned anywhere in the vid. Does this require a very open stance or do toes line just left of target? I do most of my chipping with a wide open stance
Gotta say It’s been really refreshing seeing Brad in the good good lab. Killin it
I appreciate that!

As someone who’s finally getting into playing after watching for a couple years, all these labs videos couldn’t be coming out at a better time haha!
It’s such a treat that Brad would take the time to share knowledge. Dude is such a high caliber golfer
FINALLY!! An instructional video that walked me through the shot piece by piece with common, easy to understand language and not the technical jargon. EXCELLENT LESSON!!
I really appreciate the breakdown for the different skill levels. That’s pretty cool 😎
Thank you for the beginner level! It really helps things make sense on why you are doing things!
Brad in da laaaab! What a great addition to the GG squad
I tried it today after watching. I chipped in twice.
Love hearing that!
Love the feel style teaching! Much easier to relate to than some of these very technical analytical teaching videos out there. Well done Brad!

Brilliant format. Top explainer. Grwat job.
Love these video Brad

Brad, you are getting better at this every time. Really enjoying labs now that you are owning it. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video. You’re a true inspiration Brad. Thanks!!!!

I’m trying to break 100 and just shot a 103 last Tuesday and these videos are REALLY helping me lower my scores

Love these types of videos and brad is killing it, keep it up
great video hopefully i can get under my hands.🤞🏻 love your energy man.
The video ive been waiting for
The shorter backswing has been an absolute game changer for me…thanks Brad!
These are dope. Nice work
Hell ya Brad! These are awesome videos. I wish you great success with this new channel.
I love how you teach. Just how you are able to articulate makes it easier to follow! How you're able to not get caught up in that youtube mumbo jumbo! 😂
THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY!!! Ta ta TSH!! Honestly amazing lesson Brad you are the man thank you so much!!!
Great video Brad.

Never thought to weaken my grip on my chips. Ima test it out sounds like I could help on some of my miss hits. 🐐
I fricking love this guy
Needed this vid. Love covering basics. If my setup is wrong I screw up wedges 30% of the time
Great info Brad! One problem I have had in the past with this shot is the hosel hitting the ball since it is leading with he face so open. Thanks!
Thanks Brad. I have been playing golf for years with no lessons. I struggle around the green with this big time. This should help if I practice it.
You're super switched on to your feels and that makes you a great teacher. Cheers Brad been waiting for this one, can't wait to get up the practice green
Dalke has a cool teacher vibe, the kind who won’t give homework on weekends 😁. Ba da ba ba bah!! 🤣
Soaking up these Lab videos brother, thanks mate
this dude is great everything i wanted to know :)
Great video Brad. I like the different segments for different skill levels.Can you do one for flighted wedge shots?
Step 1: Clean grooves
Step 2: Don’t play a crappy ball
Step 3: Follow Brad’s Tips lol
Thanks for these tips! Could you make a video on how to compress the ball and take divots with full shots ? I’d also love to see a video on full wedge shots as well :)
You’re awesome at those shots. Great lesson. One thing I would add that helps me is to open the club face before gripping the club. It keeps me from shutting the face down too much at impact IMO
Thanks Brad - can we have a basic chipping video, and how to adjust for uphill/downhill/above/below lie?
Brad, would love to see some tips when the ball is sitting down in the bermuda grass around the green and you need to hit a pitch shot. Also, thick bermuda rough hitting approach shots.
Just watched you tube championship and wished you Garret, Luke would have been invited, think it would have been a little different, love the knowledge you have about the swing Brad.
Time to start hitting some nippy jizzlers! Great video, Brad!
Brad is great teacher💪🙏
Thank you!
Wonderful video thankyou! Is there a possibility of doing the same style of video in the bunkers?
Best wishes Mick
Brad is goated

cheers brad i went to the course today and when u said u won’t spin it 5 feel, i used a slope and spun it back 5 feet 😂
As someone who loves hitting the nipper I can't tell you how much you have to practice practice practice before you're comfortable doing this on the course. But like he said, to have this shot in your bag is absolutely invaluable
I have a wicked wide stance when I hit my flop shots but regular chips for sure seem more consistent with a narrow stance
can you make a version of this video for applying spin to full swing wedge shots?
I’d like to see a tips and best practices for playing a round rental clubs. Or adjustments to be mindful of when playing clubs that aren’t yours
Great pointers love the video. Just a question perhaps for another video. What would the best technique be to utilize the bounce of your wedge to get better contact?
Good tips
Bro I love these videos. Brad I need you to a flop shot vid and I need help with my driver. I can't stop slicing it !!!
Good tutorial
Ima listen to this guy. He played in the masters
More of Brad, homie is awesome
Spinning wedges is your *Brad* and butter 🔥
😂
Could yall make a video on how to have a smooth transition in your swing?
I'd love to see a video on wedge shots
Grant fixed GG in two months. The dude is legitimate.

Get Luke Kwon’s course management program
Haha nice to see my black GMC behind you right in my normal spot in the lot 😂
I like to keep the toe down and swing out. 3’ off the ground and stopping
Hi Brad. Love the content. Can you tell me what loft and bounce you use around the greens. I have Bettinardi wedges. 56 degree with 14 degrees of bounce and 60 degree with 8 degrees of bounce. Is one better?
Great…just in time for Winter in CT.😢
You should do a video on the wild escape shots you do. Maybe do find horrible lies in the trees and stuff and explain your process through the shot.
Good good, I started golfing last year and completely dove in I’m trying to make golf my career and teach people so i am completely different than the avg player I take it very serious. I’m shooting high 70’s-low 80’s from the tips in my second season. Bring me out and give me some lessons I think you guys can get me to scratch.

I can make the same chipping action but with firmer hands it comes out way harder. With soft hands and generating a load of club head speed it would come out softer, or do you prefer a tighter grip?
Excellent instruction but I have one question. Where do you line up in relation to the target, you seem to be square and swinging down your foot line.
The taking a divot is a big thing for me because i'm always afraid of thinning it.
Brad what bounce do you recommend to use on your club on that type of fringe your chipping off of ?
Most important part of hitting a nipper is a urethane cover ball and sharp, clean grooves.
That's my biggest mess up in chipping, the decel. I've gotten way better, but sometimes that little voice screams in my head, "Slow down!" near impact. Duff dang near every time. Bring back the labs jingle! Thanks, Brad!
Bro, I’m better than brad at the nipper now! That helped so much!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE we NEED a Brad long straight drive tutorial
not sure if I missed it in my first watch through, but was there any mention of what bounce you are using for shots like this off tighter lies? Guessing it is fairly low but just not sure how low for these specific types of shots
Can you go over how to hit long irons and driver?
Love the content and the tips. Any way to make a video about hitting a driver? I’m barely getting into golf and Good Good is what makes me even more excited to play. My driver keeps on slicing
There will be driving videos!!
Thanks Brad... But how do you have the face so open and not have the ball pop up, but rather shoot forward 3 feet high and spin fast so it checks up hard?
Can you pleas do a pitching video. From 30-80 yards please !!!!
I went and tried this on the practice green. I was able to get good spin (greens are soft right now in Portland and I was making little zippy ball marks) but not less roll out than a high trajectory pitch shot (not a flop). I was hitting maybe 15 yard shots. Is this only the short sided shot from longer range where you can get more spin or an I doing it wrong?

What wedge do you use and what bounce? Does the grind matter/bounce matter for these nippers?
Thank you, Brad. I had been going to much on the outside. 😇 ❤
Do you use more right hand thru the swing?
Feet alignment in relation to target wasn’t really mentioned anywhere in the vid. Does this require a very open stance or do toes line just left of target? I do most of my chipping with a wide open stance
These are great. Next week can you do them in 4 other languages? German, Swahili, Nabu Nabu, and Spinnyskinskin? (which is purely golf talk)
