How to Chip in Golf - Sport
This is such a great comprehensive chipping lesson. Clay is a great communicator. I come back to this all the time.
Thanks for watching!
The greatest chipping tip of all time. Best video by far. Nice Bloke also.
Love the parts where you mention that slight angle towards the target making you finish through the shot without even thinking about it. Also just imagining that you are just tossing a ball forward without thinking about it. Absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Before this I thinned and chunked with no confidence at all chopping and changing my swing all of the time without an idea as what to do. I I honestly nearly gave up... Before I was thinking wooden arms and putting techniques that got me nowhere.
Can't give this video enough credit.
Just imagined myself stood on that slight angle gently tossing a ball to an invisible person, totally relaxed then applying it with the club.
Must have hit 500 shots without a thin or a chunk, never achieved before by other techniques.
Can't say more than a big thanks mate.
Think I can finally play around the green with a simple thought.
Toss the ball into the hole.
If I could I'd get you an ice cold beer!
Cheers mate!
Thanks! 🍻
“Open your stance, it’s just like tossing a ball”
“Feet together, see how it’s easier to rotate”
Clay always comes with most common sense easy to remember swing thoughts. And he does what so many coaches fail to do.... the WHY. I want to know WHY these things work
🤗
20 years ago only rich people could get this level of coaching... THANK YOU THE FUTURE!!!
My pleasure!
I played for 22 years and never knew how to chip. I love your instructional videos. I went from 100 to mid eighties in a few months. I appreciate what you do. Thanks.
Great job!
As with your pitching videos, this chipping video has helped me significantly. Thank you Clay.
My pleasure Randy!
Brilliant! Clay explains the mechanics really clearly and simply. Just what I need!
Thanks!
Excellent video. Helped me a lot in my short game. Thank you Clay!
My pleasure Clifford!
Great vlog. I am going to watch this all winter. Thanks!
Thanks!
Sensational teacher, in the true sense. Bravo!
Thanks Chris!
Clay is the best instructor and has helped me in all facets of my game going from a 6 handicap to a 2.
Thanks! Keep up the good shooting!
Great video....I used to be really good around the greens (a decade ago), so I finally had a lesson a few weeks ago with my local pro which was very good. I was still missing something when I stumbled onto this video and watched the one handed drill and BANG...it all fell into place. You got yourself a new follower here Clay. Thanks from the land of Oz.
Thanks!
Truly the best golf instructor. Thanks for all your help Clay! #happyinohio
Thanks Tony!
Subscribed this morning Clay, excellent instructional videos. Thank you!🏌️♂️
Welcome aboard!
great video Clay, I've always been a great chipper, and my thoughts have always been that I chip with my knees, very passive hands. I really like how you explain the knee pivot at the start, great stuff as always!
Thanks!
‘Well, Clay, if I could do that I wouldn’t be watching this video” 😂 Terrific instruction. Thanks!
You're very welcome!
I watched this video and then went to my course and practiced chipping. I am very excited that my chipping improved dramatically in just one practice session. THANK YOU !
My pleasure!
I had to call Carpet One to replace all the carpeting in the house because of all the divots I took. I was chopping down on my chips so hard I tore right through the fabric and dug holes through out the house because I was always looking for a new place to chip from where there weren't any holes. Over time I had created more holes than there was carpet. Then my Labrador, Chelsea kept getting her paws stuck in the holes and eventually snagged her toe which required a $425 visit to the vet. The vet asked me what might have caused the rip in her dew claw and after I told him about all the holes in the house, he suggested I carpet the entire house with ASTRO turf designed to stand up to my error ridden chipping technique which I have turned into chopping, not chipping. Now, with new turf spread through out the house, I can practice Clay's new methods here where I not only preserve the new turf. Only downside is Chelsea now thinks it's so cool that i brought the outdoors inside that it must be okay to do her 'business' inside the home. So now I must house train her all over again but that's a nice problem to have considering I will soon have turned my chopping into chipping and landing the ball right next to the cup nearly every time for a short tap in.
😂😂😂
I almost always forget to give you the thumbs up since I just want to get to the video and then I just want to go work on what you've described. This one, as usual, was excellent. Thanks.
Thanks Marc!
This video is great. Clay is a great teacher and this technique really does work, I practiced it at home in the week went out this morning for nine holes and didn’t duff a single chip truly remarkable. Arguably the best short game video on you tube and I have watched a lot of them. Clay thanks for sharing your expert knowledge.
very timely, I walked 9 yesterday and bladed several chips, caught a couple clean. gonna re-watch....def confidence builder.
Hope it helps!
Hello! Because I am a Japanese, I translate it and watch a video.
I improved considerably in one month! Thank you, Clay teacher!
m mmp - that’s some kind of black magic considering the video came out a few hours ago
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear you're improving. Keep up the hard work! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@Melted_Butter what do you care...
Thank you Clay. This is exactly what I'm aiming to improve!
My pleasure!
Great information, NO BS. Just straight talk
Thanks!
Great work, what is very noticeable, is how pedantic your are on keeping the grooves clean.
Thank You Clay.
Haha! 😀 Play well!
Thanks Clay. Can't wait to hit the greens with these tips.
Any time!
Clay is the Bob Ross of golf videos. Great instruction and I could listen to him read a phone book. "Well that probably wasn't the best one but I could make that putt if I hit a good putt"
Thanks!
A lot of great information. You've covered and dispelled some thoughts and techniques I've had that were giving me problems that I didn't know the cause. I also liked that you mentioned that even the pros aren't 100% in their execution. As an amateur we think we have to attain close to 100% in execution, that's additional pressure that we don't need. I'll save this and use it. I've been a member of your Top Speed Golf for several years and there is a lot of good info there too at a reasonable price.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tip thanks. Sometimes we forget the small things that make golf a little easier.
Thanks!
I have had the chipping yips for years. Reduced to chipping one-handed, which did work. Tried using your technique yesterday and it worked great! Actually chipped in for birdie on the first hole!
Nice!
Thank you! Really helpful
My pleasure!
Top clear tuition and actual examples
Thanks!
Wish I had seen this two years ago. Tried this after chunking my chips. I took this to the course this week. Just have to adjust my swing to distance. Thanks
Bro you're a kickass coach! 🔥
Thanks Dave!
@@TopSpeedGolf this has really helped my short game. I started back in may after 15 years away from golf. Now if i could just drop the ball on the green from 100 yds out i could break 90!
Great instruction. Thank you
My pleasure!
Nice video, easy to understand and also to follow and apply directly.👍
Thanks!
Great tutorial clay as always 👍👍🏴
Thanks!
Very clear, thank you 👍
You’re welcome 😊
This is the best for the new beginner to lean his motion. Very good.
Very nice video. Easy to work on this technique.
Thanks!
that was a fantastic lesson on short game.Thanks
Glad you liked it!
dude youre honestly one odf the best !!! i wish i can get a one on one personal coaching from you.... you are amazing and thank you
Thanks!
Great Info! Thanks
Thanks!
Love the attitude! Nice man.
Thanks!
Awesome tips. Thanks
Thanks!
I love this video
Morning Clay once again an excellent video on chipping. Two points that I was unaware of, firstly having your left foot open and aiming to finish facing the target. Secondly the drills with tees at various heights, this is something I will practice until it has improved. These shots form a very important part of the scoring game and if you want to improve like I do and lower your handicap which I do aswell, I will practice them until I see an improvement. I have also liked and subscribed to your videos.
Thanks!
Excellent instruction.
Thanks!
Thanks, Iam having trouble chipping 4 doubles dew to chipping shot 83. Thanks Jim
Excellent, comprehensive explanation and demonstration of shot-saving, scoring short game! 👏👏 Around the green, I sometimes imagine I'm throwing a ball in the way you describe to help with judging where I want the ball to go/carry and feeling the swing I will use. I find I'm less likely to hit shots short that way - a common problem with that shot!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Clay went to the range today and worked on this. Really worked well. Why did it take me 3 years to watch this🥺
Great to hear! Keep playing well 👍
Thank You! This is a good explanation of chipping and it keeps it simple -- ok, off to the chipping green......
Glad it was helpful!
Commentary in text form is appearing On the screen is hiding the ball. Please discontinue commentary in text form please.
Clay I just want to tell u ,I learn a lot from u I shot 71 today .im very happy thank u 🙏🏾 clay .
Nice!
another great video clay
Thanks!
Very good!, I really enjoyed !
Thanks!
Good tips Clay! Opening the stance makes it easy to get through it
Thanks!
Good stuff. 74 yrs old want my 3 hdcp back. 18 now but think I can get back below 10. It’s all about chipping!
Thanks Tom!
You're awesome bro!
You too! Play well!
One of your best videos partner!
Thanks!
@@TopSpeedGolf no prob! Hey i haven't seen a video to much on this, but could you post on how you became a instructor for those that are considering doing as a career. Where to start, do you have to be a scratch golfer? Thanks
Clay great lesson on chipping also tips to striking my Irons shaft lean thanks so much
You bet
Clay - excellent video. Now I need to go out and really try this. Question - what is your weight distribution when chipping?
you so simply the best chipping and cute stroke
Thanks!
Clay, I just subscribed to your website, and I can't remember being so excited to get out and practice a few of these drills.
If you already have, and I just haven't found it, do you have a video out here showing and explaining the major differences
between the "Chip" shot and the "Pitch" shot, when to use one over the other, and maybe the pros and cons of each shot.
Thank you for the great videos.
Hi John, we have a few videos like that. Just do a search on our channel or the website. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Very simple approach to chipping.
Thanks!
It really is like a putting stroke in that you don't unhinge your wrists. The difference is that you allow your lower body to rotate slightly to make sure your wrists stay out of it.
Thanks for sharing!
very smart video
Thanks!
Laird Heffer. Been watching and practising Drive and Chipping. I play at Warrnambool the home of Mark Leishman and in a strong wind had 38 stapleford points. Should of heard my playing mates comments!!
Congrats, Laird! Keep up the good work.
I'm seeing that new hat on dozens of golfers so good on you for that. (You should've made it Top Speed swag!)
It's pretty good
Thank you Clay for such great videos. So easy to follow and reminders that not all chips will end up 5 inches from the hole 😊 down to 11 after 2.5 years and now seeing that chipping and putting will likely be the key to lowering my handicap further 🤞all the best from 'sunny' UK 👋
Thanks for watching and best of luck!!
Chipped in for Eagle yesterday using your tip to open feet&body away from Target. Who needs a putter 🤣. Now to practice your putting video tips 👏🤙
I have subscribed to you for my second year. I'll add this video to the ones that I get from my subscription. Chipping has not been easy for me, despite your insistence that it is easy. I'll keep working, thanks!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, James. Yes, the short game takes time and practice to get a good grasp on it. Keep on working at it and eventually it'll become second nature. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor
Another great vid... I like how you show us the end result of your shots
Thanks Tony!
This is great, however I would like to learn your techniques for chipping/pitching from difficult lies. Deep turf, hard pan, muddy, uphill, downhill, sidehill etc. Great stuff Clay!
Noted! Thanks!
Goat
Thanks!
Really helpful video. I am just interested in whether you tend to have more weight on your left side or whether it is even. Chipping is such an important component in the game of golf.
Hi Tom, weight would be more on the lead side especially near impact. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Great stuff! Now I only have to wait for spring in Sweden...
Jag håller med 😭
Thanks!
Same here in northern ny
Awesome video. Any thoughts on grip? I've personally liked using a weak grip and hold off release with the body rotation through the ball to square the face.
Hi Andrew, I would just use whatever you use for your normal swing. Weak, strong or neutral is personal preference and whatever works best for you. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Another excellent video. Worth keeping as a reference video. Do you favour any particular ball eg a soft ball etc
Thanks David! We like the Snell MTB Black but there are lots of good ones out there. It's personal preference. Try a bunch of them and see what you like. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
I love your videos and chipping and pitching have learnt a lot one more thing what type of hat is that big white one
Thanks. It's a Nike hat.
It’s hard to trust the easy smooth body swing will give you the distance and control you need. The hands and wrist are control freaks. Let the body and club do the work... nothing like the feeling or sound of catching one clean... Thank you for posting...
Hi Darrell, thanks for sharing. Hope you're playing great! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Clay I always struggles with golf but when had seen alot of your videos it's really improve my game alot especially to do variablity training,early weight shift and shallowing only the point I can't understand is whenever you demonstrate the impact glide in your videos from the part where the hands turns up with help of foot pressure and hip and shoulders moving up and out what happens from there the last parallel when hands move up and when you show that club is way down on ground exaggerated and grip moving up I have a little bit of trouble in understanding.Thanks
Sounds like you have it down to me. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
I really enjoyed all your videos and used them to help to make me better, my question is can you do from rough videos for all shots please?
You can do this from the rough if it's a descent lie or better. If it's down in the rough then you may want to play it a little further back in the stance and hinge the wrists more so you can come down steeper.
Great tips Clay. Here is where I struggle the most and add strokes. Will work on this and hope to reduce strokes.. maybe I'll shoot low 80s!
Thanks! Best of luck!
Clay - great video! are you keeping the club face square or do you allow it to rotate open on the back swing?
Thanks Mark! Not intentionally trying to keep it square. You can let it open and close into impact. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
Excellent can you come to Pinehurst lol
Good video
Thanks!
Great video and it's already been a help. What changes do you recommend to this approach when I have a downhill or downhill sidehill lie? (Can't seem to apply this approach to those situations because the shallow thing doesn't seem to be called for in those cases...)
Hi, it still applies you just want to tilt your body with the slope. The ball will come out lower on a downhill lie and higher on uphill lie.
Great video Clay,,,really do believe those tips will save a load of shots,,and maybe turn long puts into a few gimmies,,,,more importantly,,,,I need to know where you got the hat,,,,,thanks Lee
My pleasure! Got the hat on Amazon
Phil Mickelson says you should never chip with the ball in the middle of your stance. If you want to hit it low it goes off your back toe. A higher shot goes on your front toe. Also 90% of you weight on your lead leg. (This is for chipping). What are your thoughts on this?
That may work for Phil but if you put the ball back in your stance then it forces you to come down steep which gives you very little margin for error. If you have excellent skills like Phil then you can certain do that and keep it lower. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
TP5 -- I'm in...
Question: do you turn your face square or do any turning of the wrists for squaring for chipping or pitching?
It's usually not necessary for a chip because you usually keep the face square the whole swing in a shorter swing.
That’s what I thought. I played 9 hole Sunday and kept chipping right but I was turning the wrists down but I noticed when I recorded that the face was square already. Thank you for the answer and awesome instruction.
I hope you could do a video about chipping from non-ideal locations like on hills or in unruly grass. I would putt from that beautiful fairway
Hi, we don't have any videos specifically on that. The only difference would be playing the ball to go a little more right if the ball is below your feet and a little more left if the ball is above your feet (assuming you're right handed). You can choke up to get a little more control but you'll need to take a bigger swing. If the grass is really thick then you may just need to chop more down into the ball to get it out. You can't expect to get these shots close. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
@@TopSpeedGolf If I"m 50 from the green, it's usually not on such nice grass. Can you show how deal with fluffier lies or from the rough. I know you explained it, but you explain so well on the video. I'm also a tennis player and it's good to see how those fundamentals carry over.
love your instruction, also where can I get the hat you wear
Thanks! Amazon
Thank you. Easy to understand. 79 here I come. \
Thanks!
TP5 I'm in.
Is picking up a landing spot on the green a good idea? Also is more weight on left feet still apply here? Great vid as always. Thanks.
Yes and yes :-)
I'm in...
Makes video about hitting below or above your feet
We have them. Search our channel
Clay can you show hitting out of thick grass and bad rough when chipping also hitting on a downhill and uphill lie
Clay - always enjoy your videos. I am a terrible chipper although I am a single digit handicap. I've tried everything and watched a million videos. Frankly I can spend tons of practice time - and can chip it like a pro after 10 minutes on the range. But then cannot bring it to the course - due to lack of confidence; leading to look ups chunks, late hand stabs, etc. I like the body turn element with your video - the one thing that seems to run counter to most instructors is the "swinging club to the right"....most teachers say the opposite; club outside on takeaway and swing left coming down? Even Tiger talks about hitting short game shots like his full swing - and with full swing you bring hands to the left - not out to the right, which potentially introduces hosel shots. How do I reconcile these differences?
Hey Jim, first, I would make your practice more similar to the course. Don't hit the same shot over and over. Hit from different spots to different holes. It's too easy to get in a groove when you hit the same shot over and over. You're swinging to the right because your body is more open. If you opened your body and swung left then you would really just cut across the ball. Swinging to the right with the body open get's you on plane. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
How do I calculate my playing handicap at any course. If my handicap index is 17 and I am playing my home course from the white tees with a course rating of 70 and a slope of 129 and a par of 72 how do I calculate my playing handicap for that course?
