Thank you.
Thank you. As a player struggling with the yips, this is very helpful. I’ve been guilty of strangling the grip rather than gripping it lightly.
I feel your pain. I’ve worked with the Yips for over 20 years. This drill can be gold if you put the time in. To your point about grip pressure, over controlling the handle is a killer. Good luck
YES!! I have recently as the last 3 months began to relax around these shots. Specifically, I do not GRIP the handle until the very last moment when the swing begins. I will purposefully only touch the handle until that last moment. These thoughts have helped my consistency tremendously. Fabulous video. ❤
Wow 🤩 That’s so interesting. I will be trying it with students

Nothing new here really.
Having struggled with the principles of the short game for 40 years, I've tried to reduce my approach to the most simple, repeatable thoughts and actions as possible. Of course, Describing a "feeling" is difficult. So here are some thoughts: (Understanding the differences of CHIP mechanics and ball positioning is upon the golfer)
My idea is to setup to your intended target line so that you can "Throw the hands" (and the clubhead) along your intended target line. Using gravity, the "Throw" will establish the natural path and plane of the club. (Dr. Kwan Golf).
In these regards, the measure of the "Throw" should be commensurate with the distance and strike needed for the shot. Need a Tiny shot? Envision a tiny throw. I think in terms of the clock face principle. Starting from the 6 o'clock (ball and clubhead down), a "7" is a tiny swing. A chip can encompass up to an 8 or 9 as needed, with anything more than that no longer being a chip.
- The Setup to the shot is as NATURAL as possible. Avoiding any form of tension, twisting, or torque in the shoulders, down through the arms into the hands. An improper setup will cause you to twist and contort the shoulders, arms and hands. This will breakdown the swing before you start.
- "Hold" the club as gently as possible! Do Not Grasp or squeeze. Grasping or squeezing the handle will create tension and begin the aforementioned breakdown of the swing. At this point, the club is merely laying in the hands. It is simply being supported in the fingers and has not been twisted or manipulated off the intended target line.
- Lastly, find and use a personal "Trigger Motion" to set the swing in motion. This will start "The Flow" (as you named it). The smaller the needed swing, the smaller and more delicate the trigger. It is during this final trigger moment that the hands will finally grasp the handle "just enough" to start the clubhead on its tiny little journey and then lead it back to the ball. We do not HIT the ball. We swing the clubhead and lead it back to the ball.
Given these basic principles, the clubhead (and gravity) will establish its proper path and the natural CHIP swing will perform all the work. Anecdotally, these 3 simple thoughts are quite applicable all the way up and down the golf bag from driver to putter. Of course, the force and magnitude of the intended "Throw" will be dictated by the given circumstance and needed shot. Absolutely NONE of these principles are New, nor are they mine. They have been around since the beginning of the game itself and have been merely forgotten and often overlooked.
SIMPLER is always BETTER. Cheers.
Excellent video very sound advice. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Robert. Give it a try and let me know how you get on. The piece about keeping your attention in the finish is massive 👍
thanks for your video on this chipping.i struggle with club, distance,direction,etc on a less than full golf swing.could you show some shots off of real grass as the mat I believe gives a false sense of confidence.thanks John
Thanks 🙏 I get your point about the grass. This drill is especially important from difficult lies where the mind gets pulled towards strike
Probably a dumb question, but how do you initiate the chipping swing? Is it with your hands?
Yes, hands swing the club away. But would add to try not to overthink it.
