Chris Ryan you are without a doubt the best golf coach i've seen on the internet. Understanding your audience's needs, you manage to be direct and clear while relaying the details of the overarching concepts you're teaching. Superb stuff. Many thanks.

This is one of the best teaching videos I've found on KZfaq. Very simple explanations and visuals. I very much appreciate your teaching style, Chris. Thank you.

Hey Chris -- I just played Waialea Country Club (Hawaiian Open course) and hit 6 greens in regulation. Ok, 2 pars and 4 bogies, but the four essential shots video (I wrote notes on each shot) was absolutely a game changer. In know 6 greens is pretty crapola for most golfers, but that was a first for me. My slice has diminished significantly. Can't seem to get out of the sand to save my soul, and need to work with the putter -- BUT I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS VIDEO. Rich

The way you articulate how to do the maneuver helps me see I can do this shot. Thanks Chris

Good video. No nonsense instructions. Perfect. Now to the driving range to practice, practice, practice. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Love this video Chris. Thank you. My short game is terrible and struggling to break 90 consistently. This really helps. Will start practicing.

This is a terrific lesson, and I want to thank you for something specifically. You are the first person I have found who addresses the problem of the ball going out to the right as a result of opening the club face in order to gain height. Thank you! This has vexed me for some time. Well done!

Simple, clear, calm, easy to apply on the course.. Great teaching Chris. Thank you and congratulations on your new Website. Greetings from Italy.

Thank you Chris, been waiting for a simple all in one short game video for ages. Really simple tips, easy to follow and effective. Great video

Chris you have a very effective and simple way of describing the important moves in the various shots you teach. Very useful.

Thanks Chris, a great lesson and very well explained. I will definitely practice these shots

I love watching your short game vids - your instructions are simple and you make it easy to take them to the course. Thanks Chris!

Tip two lands "like a butterfly with sore feet". Very well explained for all these shots. Even us old guys who thought they knew everything can pick up some good info from a good teacher. Thank you! Keep up the good work! (Btw, I did subscribe with notifications 😁)

One of the best & most instructive videos I have watched. Thank you.

One of the best lessons Chris. Many thanks!!

Watched your other chipping videos and had my best chipping round in ages, even hit 2 miracle recoveries for par (over clubbing greens thanks to your ball striking tips lol). This should help me to advance further.

What a golf pro thanks for the Tipps great 👍💪💪💪

Awesome tutorial..I'm a new golfer and have always struggled with chip or pitch shots. Your explanation makes me wanna go out there and practice in -5 weather 👌

When I am in the heavy rough as in tip number 4, I use a 10 finger grip to stop the club from turning. So far I have been happy with the results.

Thanks Chris....You're so easy to understand!!!

Very well delivered. Easy to understand and take way points to try. 👍

Great content 👌 will work on these over the winter 🏌️‍♂️

Very helpful and concise. Thank you.

almost forgotten always aptly brought to the point and perfectly explained the best teaching pro 💪💪💪💪

Hi Chris, great coaching ,helped so much ,thank you 😄👌

Very helpful! Thanks!

Great vid!

Thank you this video was again very interesting / useful, especially the grip pressure on situation nr 4. I am 4,5 hop and still learning a lot from you. Thanks and best regards from Antwerp Charles

very helpful tips

Really enjoy and learn from your instruction!!!

Thanks for reviewing these shots. I need to work on 3 and 4.

Thanks Chris, another excellent and informative coaching video.

Great video Chris and great giveaway idea, ive had a couple of pro lessons but that's a day out alot of amatures myself included would love to experience 👍

Best video yet, on the short game. Terrific Chris

The website looks great! Look forward to checking it out and seeing what drops on there!

Good lessons..👍

Great video!!!! Talking this to the range and practice it !

Hi Chris, really enjoyed that video, especially the one from thick rough closeto the Green. I wonder if you could do a video re a shot from thick rough but a further out for example, 150 yards? Club choice and how to approach this shot would be very valuable for me and probably plenty of others. Our greenskeeper is growing the rough of this season to make a challenge for the senior cup guys however for a weak female , this is quite a bigger challenge. Wonder can you help thank you so much if you can love your videos.

Great video Chris and great tips

How can anyone give this a thumbs down?? Thank you!, brilliant coaching. 👍👍

Brilliant stuff Chris.

Good video very clear and easy to follow

Hey Chris, quick question on tip #1, do you initiate your return rotation with the upper body or the lower body? Cheers Love your videos.

Nice overview of the short game toolbox we need !

First time subscriber. Excellent video.

Why would anyone pay for golf lessons when Chris Ryan is on KZfaq ‼️

Jätte bra tips!

All great tips... your golf tips are awesome... enjoy them all!!! Just got myself the new tiger wedges they are amazing...

fantastic

I noticed that from the rough lie that you cut off your follow through - is this a result of tighter grip and making sure the face does not close?

6:32 compensate for the open face with a lower shaft. That's the key that I've been needing to straiten out my aim. Thank you. I've been terribly inaccurate and thus afraid of the open face.

Great video Chris. You and Danny Maude are great at explaining techniques simply and clearly. Off to Hunstanton on Friday...wish me luck. My pitching will need to be on point and I'm sure this video will help. Thanks for all you do for us! 👍

I must work on the 4th tip. It would save me a few strokes at my course.

I'm having a very hard time chipping by standing closer to the ball and raising the heel a bit. I find that my strikes feels much more "dull," and the ball travels much shorter. Do you do anything with the way you are gripping the club when you make this adjustment, such as holding the club more in the palm rather than the fingers, reverse-overlap grip, or something else?

GREAT VIDEO ... ;))))

What club did you use in the 4th tip?

Great lesson. This is the part of my game that needs the most work. Improved after the last lockdown, practicing these tips and I’m looking forward to single figures after this lockdown 👍

Hi Chris. Great vid. Question: is this correct: pitching use bounce, chipping strike ball first then ground. Is that correct. Thanks. Matt

What club did you use in the fourth situation?

For the high lob shot... Do you need the ball to be sitting up or on a fluffy lie? I imagine this would be very difficult on the firm fairway? Do you also need a lower bounce on your wedge or thin sole to be able to get under it when you open up the face like that? Thanks Chris!

Great tips Chris, what club did you use at tip 4?

Did you use a 56 on the 4th tip?

Hey Chris, Awesome website. How does one join to "log on". Sorry, I'm a lawyer, not a web-dude. For me, this was one of your best -- like a swiss army knife for the short-short game. Rich

When the club face is opened, can you explain why sometimes the ball goes right, and not at target? Thanks

Most pros seem not to recommend hinge and hold method a la Phil Mickleson. After a lot of practice, it works for me but you say that wrist hinge adds height. One problem I have is with my 50 degree wedge

Need for Speed 🚀 yeah, I am on my way 🤓🏌️‍♂️

The club face square on the third chip?

I forgot to add from that last comment below, that then the instructor or the golfer should be able to put together quick 1- or 2- word keys to subvocalize while building a routine, such as: 1. regular pitch SQUARE (stance, aligned w/ target) MIDDLE (ball @ sternum) 60-6 (60% of weight left, feet 6 inches apart) SLIGHT (very slight shaft lean) ----------- TURN WIDE QUIET (turn body, not just arms, arms/hands wide/low/faraway, wrist pretty quiet) TURN BRUSH WIDE FINISH (body turns to target, club brushes grass without divot, hands still wide, full body turn at finish)

This 20 to 50 yards off the green has killed my game lately. Weather it's a great drive or missed approach, I have zero confidence over the ball

Like your video's, but the link says "This page doesn't seem to exist."

Tx for the clip BUT a suggestion for all golf instructors, not just you: it would be nice to have a written summary below the clip, then we could copy it, edit it, and print it, and take it to the practice area FOR EXAMPLE: 4 ESSENTIAL SHOTS AROUND THE GREEN kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJ1nmNp2lr6qiaM.html (right handed golfer) 1. normal pitch 56 deg club, but also 52 60 ball lined up with sternum feet maybe 4-6 inches apart, 60% weight left very slight shaft lean aligned to flag/target, maybe left foot slightly back body rotates back and thru like bigger swing, narrow stance helps to do that not wristy, but there is some gathering/cracking thru impact, [IOW little wrist motion but still have feel] check at finish back heel leaving ground, chest facing forward etc. hands relatively wide going back and wide thru, plus body rotation club brushes ground w/o divot [try arms horiz to horiz to start] 2. lob shot 60 deg club common open club, more open for more height, then grip club shot will want to go right, but counteract it by lowering the hands, making the club aim more left need lots of speed and commitment thru the ball [feet about shoulder width, more athletic, aligned roughly to target] bkswing with more wrist cock and uncock and higher/fuller finish lots of the energy is used to get the ball up more than forward [seems quicker tempo, more aggressive] 3. chip and run generally a less lofted club used ball behind (right of) sternum some shaft lean [feet 4? inches apart, 60% weight left] slightly more downward strike stand close to ball, [try < 12 inches from ball?, shaft 75?+ deg?], toe down this results in swing with more consistent contact on toe and club opens and closes less during the swing key on upper body moving/rocking back and forth during swing very little/no wrist action knees and hips are reacting and moving with the swing focus on landing spot for your shot 4. pitch from heavy rough [around the green] common problem to solve is preventing the grass from wrapping around the shaft and twisting the club closed. also, more grass = less distance open clubhead some, not so much as a lob shot be more aggressive and have more speed thru shot last 3 fingers of lead hand has more pressure to help counteract club twisting closed commit your effort to get thru grass [feet look pretty close together, roughly 6 inches apart] [follow thru looks pretty short]
