Good work Jess 👍

Thanks Jess. I'm new to your channel as well. I've watched that Dan Grieve/Rick Shiels short game video so many times, bought the book, and made checklists on all 3 releases. The way you took your time, showed the steps in order, and explained them was very helpful. As a beginner, I sometimes still get the releases mixed up. But, when I hit one correctly, it is very rewarding.

Very good video Dan is awesome I really work on the pushing back with the shoulder Love how you explained release 1 & 2

Really good explanation and demonstration of Dan's teaching techniques Jess. Congratulations on your progress so far, next target...Cat 1 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

New to the channel. You're a natural and honest teacher. My 14 year old son has just started playing and I'm returning after a long hiatus. Really good stuff. Hope the channel continues to grow!

Just stumbled across your channel after my nightly golf instruction binge! You are an absolute natural and I hope this channel gets traction and continues to grow. I am currently working on these 3 releases too, and it was so helpful seeing and hearing someone work through them. I did about 100 of release 1 and 2 in the garden tonight, and only a few threatened the windows! Progress! 😅

I absolutely LOVE his book and videos. I've even made my own spreadsheet with notes and data. My chipping was always pretty decent and for me the Release 1 was tough to use instead of a spinny 56 or 60, but when I started practicing, I clearly saw the misshits were much better. The bunker techniques however, were what did it for me. I actuvely avoided hitting into bunkers, either going long or short when needed, but now I quite enjoy it. I've recently started working on his piching adress system, writing down my yardages with each one and I love it. It fills you with confidence when you get a number you've practiced already. Can't recommend the book enough.

Enjoyable illustrations of the 2 releases Jess. I find Release 1 the most difficult as I seem to stiffen up and snatch at it. Release 2 is my favourite, I've been practicing it a lot and as the confidence grows so does the proximity! Looking forward to more videos from you.

Really well made video - good concise explanations of DG’s bible.

Well played Jess 👌🏼 Dan certainly is the man to listen too when it comes to the short game.

Jess, this video on Rel 1 and 2 are so well done. It compliments Dan's own videos because you articulate the technique and feel precisely and clearly, so much so I had to get his book! Thanks very much.. I also shared this with my 29 yr old son, a very good chipper!

Also a big fan of Dan Grieves. Took his book to Jamacia with me and read it front to back whilst on the beach. Great video Jess.

Thanks so much for this Jess! Dan's release method has rescued me from having the worst short game of any gokfer I have seen in playing for 50 years....but there could still be meltdowns despite reading the book from vover to cover multiple times and watching all the videos, but your short summary nails all the small detail for me...focus on weight on left...push the lead shoulder back...slowly!...and let gravity allow the clubhead to fall posted around the left hip. Sorted! Diolch yn fawr asy Welsh friends say!

Really nice work!

His book is really good and always worth a second / repeat read. well done you

I’m also a bid fan of Dans teachings and can’t wait for the weather to allow me to get to the course and practice. I just hope I can progress and accept this new short game swing like you.

Dan has improve my short game like no one else ! He is a master. I bought the book and still I’m like you , in raleases 1 and 2. But I got the confidence I’ve never had before!

Jess, just subscribed. Like you I have the book and learned a lot from Dan, most recently from his lesson with Jimmy Bullard. I think you're correct that on your release 1 your rotation isn't quite there yet, maybe just a bit tentative but I would have been delighted with those shots on my first attempt on camera ! I've just come back from a practice session with my 58deg and as Dan instructed Jimmy, I made a positive effort to cup my lead wrist at transition, thus keeping the face open and the bounce working. The results were instant both off tight lies and the bunker. I've never been able to hit this shot before !! 😃 I'll follow your progress !

Yes I have purchased the book and have been practicing every week. I have trouble rotating with my weight left. I usually hang back or stand up which provides the perfect SKULL!

This is great Jess. Weird how scary it is. Especially release 2. Irrational really but that’s golf. Personally I find that the closer the grip butt is to my body the more confident I feel?! Loving the channel thanks.

Thank You me too brought the book and enrolled but cannot crack the basics of Release one. Wrist rolling, standing up varying the loft on the backswing to name a few. However your clarity and quality on the basics is just what I needed, Release two can wait just want to crack one first. One comment you seem to keep the loft the same and very steady up to and through impact? Thanks again and already hit the subscribe button.

Good old Dan, love his methods! Would be very interested to know how your weekly training plan is, how often do you practice and for how long? Really enjoy your videos!

Great video

Great content, I love release 1 the set up is a lofted putt. I struggle with release 2 and find release 3 simpler as it is a fuller shot.

I came across the channel by chance... Great explanation, nice video! Keep it up and good luck... My subscription is there

Thank you so much for sharing...another great video. How do you remember all the various set up positions when out on the course and do you have a technique to avoid 'rushing' a shot as you always seem so calm!

Wow, you have an excellent memory for the detail !!

Did order Dan's book right away. Release 2 is maybe the hardest shoot in the game. On hard ground it is pure horror. Hope Dan can help me. Keep up your good work.

Excellent video -- I also have Dan's book and am working to get confidence in the process for release 1 so I can take it to the course. Your comment that you need to "be brave" is a great thought that I'm definitely going to adopt. I find that if I'm tentative and don't commit I end up decelerating or worse. One questoin for you related to hand position -- I notice you're low on the grip on release 1 and middle of the grip on release 2 -- is this personal preference? Thanks!

Hi Jess, another great video. Were you using the 54 degree for the chip & run as well as the pitch? With the second release I always feel I’m putting the butt of the club in my left trouser pocket at the finish. It’s difficult to trust “let gravity take over” though isn’t it.

If I lived in the UK like you do, I wouldn't care what it would cost - I'd run, not walk to a private lesson with Dan every month. I love his stuff so much I'm seriously considering a trip across the pond to attend one of his golf schools. (I do think as you said you had the tendency to get the ball a hair too far back on the release two. Something to watch out for). Brilliant shots though.

Love your videos Jess, definitely helping me be more intentional in my practice. What would you say made the biggest difference to your game - helping you get from 34 to 7? How many times per week do you play or practice? Thanks 🙂👏

Watched this one twice. I need to get better at my short game.

I've tried so many different chipping techniques, hinge and hold, Pelz method, putting method and I've been working with Dan's techniques over the past 3 months and I've experienced success and more consistency. However, I do continue to struggle with his pitching technique. In the southern part of the US we get some tight ball positions, the heat can be 100 F / 37 C in the summer and often for weeks. The grass is often very short and it's hard to do a release 2 with a pitch and I struggle with getting height and distance with using this method as a pitching technique.

Picked this one up from Golf Monthly's recent 'how to spin your chips shots with Dan Grieve' (as I do follow Dan). I've been practising the 3-Releases for some time, and fortunate to have a good short-range facility nearby, and a coach who has taught with Dan - I still want to do his one-day school though. I'd really really recommend the left leg only drill for Release-1 (and it is good to concentrate on that left shoulder), and the no thumbs drill for Release-2. The thing that helps me the most (which you did not mention) is really pick your landing spot. I practice Release-1s from 20-30ft and ~40ft and try to get 7 out of 10 in a 3 foot circle around the hole.

Not quite the same story as you... but close. I started golf around 30... played for number of years and became a 5 hdcp. Work took over and I gave up the clubs for about 13 years. BUT took it up once more in late 2022 and was even struggling to break 100! It was soul destroying and tough. But with a few lessons and tonnes of practice, Ive set out to become better than previously. Addressing my short game for me was a biggy! So when I discovered Dan on the internet I too became an avid fan, purchased his book and have never looked back. I'm currently down to 6 hdcp, but now with a much more confident short game, I expect this summer to get down to about a 3 or 4. Favourite release is probably release 2. I truly love it. I use the two tone Srixon balls to see the spin in action. It's so telling of the spin in the different release. Keep going! And when you get to use release 3 in bunkers, it's a game changer. Such a simply consistent concept.

Your release 2 finish looked more like the release 3 finish but had a good result and quick pull up on landing

Love Dan’s stuff, been desperate to try this technique since the beginning of the year but closed course has stopped me, are you more confident now in playing these shots?

count yogi videos will explain chipping to full shots

Your first pitch looked like release 3 where you could put in the holster but i don't know apologies.

You did a 1 & 3 release

Your release 2 looks like a 3 sometimes 😊

This video paired well with my Flaming Hot Cheetos

Ball is too far back in your stance and you’re mixing up the finish between release 1 and 2

your release 2 seems like Dan's release 3.I think that in your release 2 you go too much up with your arms

I love Dan grieves but you are to mechanical and not enough soft … sorry to say so.

Sooo you’re trying to steal his content?! Don’t watch this, just go watch Dan🥴
