- This small tweak SAVED my chipping game! I was throwing away shots around the green because of my chipping yips. It got so bad that I started putting from everywhere off the green. Then, I invented this small tweak that changed everything for me. This simple golf tip will make chipping and pitching fun again. You'll be hitting it closer to the hole and saving birdies and pars around the green.

Tom: Thanks for this tip. Saw someone from Ireland give the same advice. It has helped me hit chip shots significantly better. Also, keeping the weight forward , legs quiet and the buttons on your shirt facing the target at the end of the shot. I have watched your videos for 6 months. I would never thought that tilting, lead arm straight, back arm tucked in and head centered would make such a difference. But it does! Keep up the great advice.
Just had to comment: I am 50 years old and have had the chipping yips my whole life. I’ve had lessons and tried all sorts of tips but nothing ever worked. I watched your video and went down to the park muttering that I bet I will still duff it but something clicked. I’m hitting it low, high, even hitting flops and off any lie. Nobody ever told me that the left arm is the important one. Thank you thank you thank you
Excellent video. Will try this drill tomorrow
Yeah great feeling keeping left arm straight n right arm
bent.
How do I putt better no yupps
Hands down the BEST CZcams has to offer when it comes to golf instructors!

The part about breaking it down to geometry and physics, and referring to your body as a machine, and the left arm as the radius not allowing the right arm to take over, is simply excellent. Thank you.

Thank you for this great lesson. 75 years old and returning to golf after multi-year layoff. Bad shots around the green were killing my comeback enjoyment. This video was priceless!
Welcome back to this great of games, Tim!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play.
By the way, you may be interested to learn that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.
Have you looked into the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish. Thousands of folks across the globe and spanning all age ranges and talent levels are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. And here's a link to my free mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” if you’re interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/
You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Thanks so much for sharing your short game improvement, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

No other golf channel speaks to me as well as this one Tom. Everything makes sense and is simple to implement.

Tom,
I've had the chip and approach yips for the last 7, 8 years but your tip maybe the "light after the long tunnel".
Then you 😂⛳️
Thank you so much! That right arm straight explanation was very on point for me. This video was what i needed to hear. I was getting so frustrated with my game. Almost quit. I’ll try this today. I’m excited to try this
My pleasure! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope that by eliminating variables in your stroke it will sharpen up your greenside performance!!

I had been playing golf using the traditional weight transfer method for 4 years. Really frustrating - one step forward two back. Golf wasn't fun and I was ready to quit. Found Tom and gave his method a try. I saw results instantly. This is my first full season using his teaching. Can't wait to see how much I'll improve this year!
That's the problem with the shifting weight, William - backward, forward, and then backward again into a reverse pivot and the abyss of chronic frustration.... 😎

William, don’t mess around, sign up for his website training like I did last year. I was like you, frustrated shooting in the 100’s. After 1 season of practicing Tom’s methods i’m regularly in the mid 80’s. If I shoot over 90 I’m having a bad day
@@RuckusOutfitters I'm already a member. Joined last year. This is my first full season. Expect to break a 100 this season 😃

Tom ..you always hit the nail on the head. Cheers from uk
This has been huge for me!
I watched this video and just shot the best round of my life!
I went out of bounds 6 times, hit 1 fairway all day, and still shot an 85!
Because of my improved chipping, I was able to mitigate the damage and I got up and down for par 4 times.
This has been game changing!
What a crazy round, Charles, but wow - your short game must have been spectacular!! Congrats on shooting your new personal best!!

I have been having chipping yips for over a year now. Watched & tried dozens of techniques taught on the subject from CZcams. None worked. Friday watched this tutorial and today tried it after hitting 10 to 12 balls during warmup.
I kid you not. It worked 100% during our monthly. Ball was checking on green too.
Thank you

Went to my backyard last night , and chippied this way . very great ! i used to chip this way 15 years ago , i used to copy seve , he does it this way . but i forgot ( i unconciously did what he did). Finally you fixed me , push straight back, a little lower body , ,pull and turn and i got it !
Will it work for bunkers ?? thank you , finally after 15 years ! Your better than tom watson , i saw his chipping videos , he never said this . I had my doubts about you , not anymore .
I'm very glad that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke!!
I would not consider this to be a technique for bunker "explosion" shots, though it could work for a "chunk and run" type of sand shot. My best suggestion is to visit a practice bunker - or the beach like I did in this video: czcams.com/video/y6lsY3Pd85I/video.html - and experiment with different techniques to figure out what works best for you.
Thanks so much for sharing your chipping improvement - I am happy to know that I have earned your confidence! 😎

Been testing for 2 days with different clubs with Tom's video in front of me. Took me 30 minutes to chip/pitch crisp shots with confidence. This has potential to change players score cards if watching Toms lesson. over a few times and grasping the dynamics.
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Larry; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke!! Thanks so much for your support in validating this technique with your experience!!

Would love to see more videos on the short game/chipping. My issue is always with ultra-short chip shots from the rough.
Hi Ken,
You may find a couple of related videos here if you enter the word "chip" into this channel's search bar. However, the vast majority of my short game content can be found in the online school: saguto.golf

This chipping video along with addressing the ball with the hands in front of the ball, as Tom shows in another video, makes all the difference. Thanks Tom.

Hey Tom - the new setup and swing are really coming together! I was a couple of bad putts away from breaking par yesterday. I've been playing golf for 40+ years and am now playing the best and most consistent golf of my life! Thanks for all of the great lessons!
Awesome job, David!! 💪💪 Thanks so much for sharing your tremendous progress and conveying your exuberance for this greatest of games!!
Keep up the fantastic work, and let's shore up that putting and see how low you can go!!

One of these days Tom will boast of many players on tour who can earnestly say they found their path to excellence and learned how to pure it through the impact zone right here on this channel.
Tom I used to do all the wrong things, specifically a straight right arm....as well as weight neutral, not forward. LOTS of chunks and skulls.
Went to the chipping area and tried your techniques. Mind blowing how improved my chipping has become.
I waste more shots around the green and it's extremely frustrating, looking forward to taking this to the course.
You are without question the best thing to happen to us struggling golfers. You do God's work, and its greatly appreciated.

Another beauty tip Tom. I actually figured this one out myself. Pretty cool to see it’s part of the Saguto swing plan lol
In two years I went from 110’s to shooting mid 80’s just from this CZcams channel.

Hi Tom

Welcome to SagutoGolf, Nick! I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.
Golf is indeed a very difficult sport. But if we can simplify the swing so as not to rely on timing and/or exceptional hand-eye coordination, then we can achieve consistently great results without having to continuously work so hard. So we put in the time and effort on the front end to build the swing, and then we can enjoy low maintenance, powerful, predictable, body-friendly ball striking bliss for the rest of our lives!

Just got back from the driving range about an hour ago using this new shipping technique, and it worked perfectly! I was actually laughing at the driving range because the ball was just coming off my irons like never before. I usually use my woods and keep my irons in the bag... Not anymore! Thanks Tom.
It was a chipping technique
Nice job, Ronnie! I'm glad to know that this chipping technique had you "Shipping" your iron shots into the next zip code!!

Brilliant. Always felt the right arm was the problem but didn’t know what to do with it. Watched so many chipping / pitching videos but always felt right was the problem. Thought it was wrist action but this clarifies it immensely. Heading to the range soon to work on this. Your videos are so focused. Thank you!!
I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, Larry, and I hope it performs well when you put it into practice!
By the way, that trail arm action is not just confined to the chipping stroke. If interested, here is a recent lesson on how it applies to the full swing as well: czcams.com/video/GQI6SoL1AUg/video.html

And yes, once again Saguto Golf tells it like it is! Great video.
Thanks Mr. Clean!!
This is the best explanation for consistent chipping and pitching. In my opinion I think the key is tucking the right arm in so that the left arm becomes the dominant arm. This keeps the circle as you describe and the swing feels natural and less robotic!
I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, Peter! It sure has helped a lot of golfers to eliminate variables and groove a reliable stroke.
By the way, this concept also applies to the full swing as I demonstrate in this video: czcams.com/video/GQI6SoL1AUg/video.html

Hi Tom - I came to this video as a life long chip duffer and decided after watching this that I had nothing to lose but to try it. It worked!!! Thank you very VERY much 🙂
Awesome!! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson sharpened up your short game, Lewis. Nice job incorporating it into your stroke, and thanks for sharing your success with it!!
Tom
Thank you so much. I took your full swing video on the course and hit every fairway and increased my yardage by 20 - 30 yards at 72 years old. My golf buddies told me I could go ahead and tee off on the 2nd hole. I hit into my friends waiting for their 2nd shots and before I new it I was on the greens in two. What a fun day. Say goodbye to Rotary Golf.
That's awesome, John!! 💪💪

So last night (6/8/23) I went in the yard and used this learning. Holy Shite!! Talk about "crispy chips!" Yeah buddy. I was lobbing 56 degree 60 yarders right into the zone! Also, used this in order to get control of my 3 wood. Like many golfers of my high handicap, I usually leave it at home. But, I realize I need a high yardage fairway tool and the 4 iron just can't make it. So, I'm going to master the 3 wood come hell or high water. Well, last night I made several fine, I mean smokin', three wood shots. The flubs were just a breakdown in process. I'm a believer my friend. Thanks again Tom!!
That's awesome, Jonathan!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke - and your full swing - and putting it into play!!

Great episode , tried it on chipping area all morning yesterday from different lies , just feels really solid , thanks for everything Tom
I'm glad to know that this lesson performed well for you, Paul; excellent job building it into your chipping motion!!
Tom
Hey Tom. Played yesterday and put this technique into practice and I can honestly say that my chipping game improved 100%. Consistently closer on all my chips. In fact, chipped in on #14 over the bunker for an eagle. No doubt a bit of luck involved, but without this tweak, I would have never been close. Thank you so much. This will be in my game from now on!
Awesome job building this lesson into your chipping stroke, Darren! Thanks so much for sharing your success with it, and congrats on that chip-in eagle!! 💪💪
Tom
This is news worthy. I remember a time back in the day when the small town news paper would cover eagles, birdie strings (four or more made in a row) and holes in one. We need to get back to running our local newspapers with an eye on local golf accomplishments as they happen, keeping everyone current on excellence achieved on the golf course. ⛳️ No one pays attention to the $177 Trillion unfunded national debt or erosion of individual rights any how so might as well cover news that's occurring on the fairways. But that's just me. Thanks and Congratulations on your eagle. I wish I was there to see it. I hope you weren't nervous.
Was watching your video, couldn't chip (SKULLED IT), so had to attempt this. I kept my right arm in and left arm straight. I hit it pure baby bullseye! I felt cocky so moved back about 50 yards. I'm pretending the pin is between two trees(15' apart). I would have had my first 50 yard chip in! Your right man, "it's like cheating haha" thanks again!
Awesome! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke!! And yes - you can take this lesson even further back and apply it to your full swing if you'd like. Here's my latest episode on this topic: czcams.com/video/GQI6SoL1AUg/video.html In fact, my lessons on this "trail arm magic" have helped countless golfers across the globe to overcome a myriad of issues and experience great ball striking.

Great tip Tom. I just glued my right arm into my gut and hit 8 from 8 crispy chips that just popped up onto the Sofa.
Nice job, John!!
FYI, I am not responsible for any carpet divots in your living room..... 😎

@@SagutoGolf Lets see how I go out on the course tomorrow.
Your videos and the stack and tilt methodology has changed my swing for the better. I’ve been hitting the crispiest shots of my life. I still have a lot to iron out and perfect for consistency, but man it feels good to launch a solid 7 iron crispy as KFC. My next problem to tackle is consistency across my range of clubs and getting proper distance out of my long irons. Hitting them crispy too, but distance seems off still.
Nice job, Ian!! 💪💪 I'm very glad to learn of your ball striking improvement through S&T, and I appreciate knowing that my instruction is resonating well with you in that regard.
I wouldn't be so concerned about distance at this juncture. Typically, once this swing is properly running on autopilot golfers experience significant increases in length. You are relatively early in the process and likely still ingraining your "feels" and thinking mechanical thoughts. When you develop sufficient confidence in the motion that you are comfortable "giving up control", you'll be able to just trust it and let it fly. At that point you'll have made that giant leap from playing "golf swing" to playing target-focused golf, and by then you should be seeing your yardages increase through the bag.
By the way, if you've not already joined have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level instruction, and much more.

Awesome tip, thanks for your lessons. By far the best on CZcams!
Thanks Tom - I'm glad you enjoyed this chipping lesson and I'm very glad to know that my channel's content is resonating well with you!!
Tom
You know I love watching golf videos because I love how the swing works and normally although these videos are great it's not really sorted for everyone because everyone else might have a swing technicality problem that doesn't allow them to produce the shots the instructor is demonstrating in the lesson which is why I always prefer to see a golf coach in person instead. Today I played 9 holes and my wedges were shocking and normally it's the best part of my game so this evening I headed out to practice my wedges but before I did this video popped up so I watched it and saw the 100% fool proof title which obviously I was sceptical at first because the title is very click bait anyway finished the video and went to the course to practice and using the two key elements mentioned in this I hit 95% of my ball on the green from 20, 30, 60, 80 yards. This video has really changed my wedge game. I am so grateful for this video and for saguto golf giving us this free knowledge that would cost people many to know about ❤
I initially wasn't quite sure where your comment was going to take me 😎... but I'm very glad to learn that this lesson performed well for you, and I sincerely appreciate you sharing your improvement!!
With regard to video instruction - and particularly as it relates to SagutoGolf - I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because I do recognize from having given thousands of in-person lessons that we're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and ball striking results. This is one reason is why the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school is so effective, and why thousands of folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result (and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews ). The lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness. Here's a link if you would like to know more about it - saguto.golf
Think of it this way: With an in-person lesson, the pro is there with you for 30 minutes or an hour - typically at a pretty substantial price tag - and then they're gone. With the online school I'm there for you on-demand 24/7/365, delivering the exact lesson and drill content that you want or need to be working on at that specific time, at an annual "tuition" that is the same or less than what you might pay for a one-hour live session. You can rewind me, slow me down, backtrack, pause, etc. as much as you wish. With a private lesson I suppose you can ask the pro to backtrack or pause, but it'll cost you and the message may be a little different each time.
Thanks again for your message and keep up the great work!
Tom

Hi Saguto makes a lot of sense my golf swing changed since I brought my Right hand closer and started coming from the inside so it should work for pitching also .
Great pointer
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you! And in addition to applying this concept to chipping, you can actually use it in your full swing as well. Have a look at this video on the topic: czcams.com/video/GQI6SoL1AUg/video.html

Tom I've been using your chipping method that you cover in your online school and it's very similar to this. However if I now focus on keeping the left arm straight and the right arm tucked it produces even more consistency. Thanks for another great lesson!
It's all about eliminating those variables, Bob.
I'm glad to know that this helped you take your chipping to a new level of KFCrispiness!!
keep up the great work!!
Tom
I wanna see an episode with a large KFC Bucket filled with golf balls which Tom doesn't say a word but just pures crispy fried shot after crispy fried shot where the ball goes soaring through the sky like an eagle zeroing in on its prey. This would be one helluva of birdie turned eagle turned pure awesomeness. Thanks
Thanks again Tom...this is great advice. My backstory is...... I avidly played Golf from 2000-2008..... I left the game completely and just started back up again. Back in the 2000's I was a disciple of certain "position oriented" teachers, where all they talked about was 8 positions, and how your hip to waist ratio needs to increase - yada yada yada........ What these teachers hardly ever mentioned was the utilization of the clubhead as a "tool" and where its position should be at impact and how to create a consistent contact point.... consequently, I never improved and was actually a worse player 8 years later...your stuff makes total sense to me, my friend and these videos have helped my range sessions tremendously and I like that you're a Hogan disciple as well...thanks again for the work that you do..... PS- here's my swing...lol... czcams.com/users/shortsh-JVNryKdhs

I do understand the "P's" and include them in my instruction for those who wish to learn that way. But I also do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible because we're all different, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another.

Just came across this today. It's right on. I've always had the yips with chips but if I remind myself to keep my right elbow next to my waist I chip so much better. Thanks Tom!
My pleasure, Denny - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you!!
Tom
I'm a pretty good disc golfer with some amateur wins under his belt. I have been transitioning into ball golf the last 6 months. After watching this video, you made me realize I was still trying to be right hand dominate because that is the arm that generated all my power in disc golf. I just chipped with my 9 iron using this technique and you speak the absolute truth. The balls looked like they were being launched out of a machine. The grouping was all within 10 feet. Thank you so much. Can't wait to take this to the course and win some money from my Uncles.
That's awesome, Mike, and welcome to the "ball version" of this greatest of games!!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke!!

OMG, think I'm gonna fall in love again with golf thanks to this video!!! Have golfed on and off for years, taken plenty of lessons, and practiced on a regular basis. Still I've struggled to gain the semblance of a decent golf game. As much as I've wanted to improve I was just spinning my wheels. My wife who's played far fewer years beats my back end on a regular basis. I make the game way too complicated, but I recently stumbled across this instructional video. Initially I though there's no way the game's this simple...can't be??? I watched Tom's animated explanation on the role of the lead and trail arms, and their relationship in the golf swing. I thought what do I have to lose, and spent a few hours at the range. Within no time it clicked and I was chipping better than ever, without the yips, and it even seemed to transfer to my other short irons. I was hitting them much crisper and straighter. I thought it was a fluke and decided to wait until I'd spent more time practicing this simple concept. I actually improved each day out. Now, I'm not expecting to become a single handicap anytime soon, however, I think this instructor is one of the best at simplifying the game and creating the basis for a sound swing. Can't wait for a new more confident golfer to be awaken! :) Tom, you're the MAN! Thank you so much... Tom from Canada😊👍

@@SagutoGolf Tom, thanks for your reply and for the helpful full swing video. It makes perfect sense, hearing that thud while you achieve that ball first divot. And, allowing the arm to fold while keeping it tucked in longer. Will definitely consider joining your online golf school, especially if it will help me score better than my lovely wife...lol.. Thanks again, so glad I've found your instructional videos!. Tom
OK -I tried this and it has really helped my struggling short game. Wanted to drop a note and thank you for this and for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the great work
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Jeffrey; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your short game improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
I've tried, quite literally, a dozen chipping techniques. FINALLY!!! One that works!! thank you!
I've been hearing that a lot, Jon - I'm glad to know that this helped you as well. It really does "clean up" the stroke by eliminating the variables and providing a very consistent contact point.
Thanks for sharing your improvement!!
Tom
Great insights and really helpful. I find the width of the feet, bringing the back foot in to narrow the stance helps to make a more consistent low point.
Thanks Rich - I'm glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you.
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
This is a top tip , I played the opposite , right hand took over the closer I got to the pin , since changing to this method my game has improved beyond belief 👍
Outstanding!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your greenside improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Great video Tom. I got the chipping yips a few years ago so bad that I bought a left handed gap wedge. Got pretty decent with it. Then someone suggested that I try cross handed. Been doing it ever since. I have a very good short game. It keeps the left arm in charge and also levels the shoulders for a shallower arc. Really enjoying your training program. Still needs work but those KFC crispy strikes are happening more often now. I'm getting close!
Great stuff, Barry - I'm very glad to learn of your crispy progress!!
And heck - if a major champion can win with a cross-handed chipping grip, then why not?
I'm glad to learn of your progress. Keep up the great work!!
Tom
I've taken this lesson to the course this morning 23 points on the front nine , my chipping was the best ever . Thanks, great lessons.

Great tip! Like you demonstrated, I thought you kept both arms straight, but no.
Thanks for this! Makes perfect sense.
My pleasure! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you incorporate it into your stroke!

Your idea to speak of two different radii (straight left arm, straight right arm) is very intuitive and great. I never heard it before!
Thank you, Bernhard - I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated well with you!!

Dear Tom, is this my final update chasing the Goddess of Swing? It would be a most happy parting if I could say we were dating permanently. But I've not that much hubris --so, probably not. But all thanks to you I played the most fun nine holes of my life. Not my best score, but every drive and every second and third shot was crispy. Drives straighter than the top button on a preacher's collar. I changed my set-up. Hogan talks about "pronating or supinacing" the wrist at the point of impact. ( aside: Reading his five lessons it's as if I were back in Jr. College listening to Socrates and Enrico Fermi describe the golf swing. ) So, I included this in my set-up -at the point of address. Man-o-man, I got a KFC Happy Meal. left arm stays straight throughout, turn naturally increases, lead with the hip, strike-ball-divot, and the ball goes dead straight. Thanks. You're the best teacher. Absolute. Best of Luck to you.
Okay. That's all great stuff. So, why are you breaking up with me??......😎
As for Mr. Hogan, he certainly delivered phenomenal and timeless instructional value. But there are just so many misconceptions about his swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied instruction - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. I'm doing my best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness by taking what Mr. Hogan conveys in the “Five Lessons” book as his "feels", applying it to the reality of what he actually did in his swing, and translating it into something we all can learn well from. Because if we can get Hogan right there are tremendously effective swing keys to be garnered.
Thanks for your kind words with regard to my instruction content and teaching style. I sincerely hope that you will be sticking around!

This last weekend I actually started doing what I thought I had been doing (LOL). First, I tucked the right elbow and turned my wrist to grip, I did not turn the elbow (as you are doing in this video). But more importantly, I finally "forced" myself to keep things connected from the top. I have been getting to the top pretty well, and I would have sworn I was getting the downswing right, but I actually wasn't. I wasn't patient, I wasn't allowing the body to turn, and instead was swinging down kind of arms first. I mean of course the body would turn, but things were no longer connected, and I never really knew I was doing that. Once you do it right, once you feel it, you'll know it.
I have been watching a lot of your videos, and I know others are too (love this chipping video using the same technique, can't wait to play tomorrow). You get to the top and swing down with your body, that sequencing is somewhat invisible to us weekend warriors, but I went from a pretty ugly start on my warm up to...CRISPY! Just finally kept everything connected on the way down. I don't sway, I get the shoulder under the chin with some tilt, the left arm is straight, but this got me to crispy (I was hitting both thins and chunks when I started warming up for my round).
Went out and hit a lot of good shots after that warm up, very determined to get this fully ingrained.
Thanks Saguto, I appreciate you.
Fabulous stuff, Mike, and your comment, "Once you do it right, once you feel it, you'll know it" is spot on!
I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!!
Thanks so much for sharing your KFCrispy improvement, keep up the great work, and have fun out there tomorrow!!

Great simple explanation on chipping that I can share with my High School Team
I appreciate that, Tom, and I hope it helps your players to sharpen up their greenside play!!
Tom
Indefinitely will be trying this for sure.
Great! I hope it performs well for you!
A unique, interesting solution to the problem of low point radius and the conundrum of chipping: keeping the low point forward when the R arm is low on the grip. I like it and it works! At first I had the L arm too rigid and needed to relax it to get some feel. I notice you are distinctly turning to face the target as well, which I also found necessary. I've been a basket case on this and have practiced nothing else for the last 2+ years. I can finally do away with the white knuckles chipping. Great stuff!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped your chipping technique and alleviated those white knuckles, Ashley. Nice job, and thanks so much for sharing your improvement!!
Tom
I’ve come to this video because my short game is destroying my round so much so that I’ve now started shanking my chips! I will give this a go and come back to you … Thanks and Subscribed 😊

Tom you have changed my ball striking! Short irons are unbelievable. Can't wait to give this a shot. Currently a 13 and bad chipping is by far my weakness. For me it is a controlled panic.
I will report back. I tell people all the time about when I get asked how do I hit it so solid. Saguto Golf Baby, changed my golfing life!
That's awesome, Michael - I'm very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play!
I'm quite confident that this chipping lesson will help you as it eliminates those consistency-wrecking variables that plague so many amateurs around the greens.
Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic ball striking improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
