The best thing I've gotten into the habit of doing is not moving my head to look at the green until I hear the ball make contact with the green after the shot. Really helps me maintain focus on the shot that I've planned.

Loving the multiple different angles and clarity of your videos! It feels like I'm learning from a good friend on the course. Keep up the good work.

Still one of the best chipping videos on KZfaq. I keep comming back to it when I need a reminder on chipping technique. Hope you havea great 2022 season.

Honestly saving my life. Thank you so much.

That thing about leaning back to help it, damn that's my issue. Finally someone able clarify it, thanks m8

As a person who just went through this after returning to golf after a very long break, here is what I learned: - As Peter pointed out in the video, but didn't explicitly state using the words Arms and Wrists, for me the KEY was to re-learn again to chip using my back as rotation for speed / distance generation and remove all thoughts of using my arms - I still use a very very very very slight wrist set at the end of the back rotation and then a gradual wrist release on the downswing as that seems to generate the cleanist strikes - the 'other' technique I used on my road to recovery was the toe down technique I saw Greg Normal teach decades ago (it works every time and you will never miss a chip again) - this technique involves choking down the club as much as possible until you make your putter's shaft vertical (and basically into a putter), with the sole of the club no longer flat to the ground, but instead you are not going to chip with the upside down triangular lower corner of wedge - you basically stand the lower corner of the club on the ground and then choke up as much as necessary so that your arms are straight such that it is impossible to hit the ball thin or chunk it - ie you don't chunk a putter do you? - so you can't chunk this chip shot - you then you your wedge this way to chip - and it is amazing how easy and how well and how much confidence you can get chipping this way - Greg Normal taught this technique to use if the ball was resting down slightly in a depression in the ground as it would help you hit the ball very cleanly - it is a fantastic technique for chipping and running and I use it all the time in all situations now

Key points I learned which helped me so much. Weight forward, hands forward to hit the sweet spot. Follow through properly having faith in the loft of the club. Decide high or low with balls position (front foot going high, back foot going low) Great video peter. Keep em coming 👍

I love that 3 ball visual. Great advice.

Great suggestions, hopefully by watching it over and over again, one day I will be able to repeat it :-)

Great vlog Peter; love these sort of tips that you do. Easy to understand and to practise before going to the course. Keep the content coming Cheers

Its nice to a find a 1 year old video that fixes my problem quick and easy. 3 balls- collect them. Fantastic. Thank you.

Chris Ryan said same, but with longer clubs standing closer, more upright. Worked well on my last outing. Look forward to trying your wedge tips. Will update you

All excellent tips on chipping Peter! I've viewed you a lot on You Tube playing different courses and trying out different clubs, but this is the first teaching video of yours that I have viewed. This week I was chunking my short chips just off of the green with my wedges. As you mentioned, I probably was not utilizing the bounce and my takeaway was wrong. Now I know! I have been utilizing the 5 wood option and it has worked great. Good Job Peter!

I've been playing golf for well over 40 year and always struggling with chips. I viewed this video morning and practiced it this afternoon at the practice green, wow, this is going to change my game, as you said, its all about the body rotation. I can't wait to play this week, thanks Peter!

Looking forward to flying greens everywhere trying to chip with my 3 wood haha Nice on Pete

Excellent lesson.

Such a big help!

Great video, I am looking forward to trying out the fairway wood/ hybrid chip!

Videos are always so helpful! Always watching these to help my game out. Definitely has helped a ton.

Thanks Peter very helpful!

Love your tips. I've found the best remedy for me is to put a lot of my weight on the front leg. It's helped a lot, but I'll be trying to incorporate your other tips from your video.

Hey Pete! I just watched you and Rick Shiels play with Dude Perfect! I am a new golfer in America and I don't even have golf shoes yet. So, I fall over a lot when swinging :D. But, this video is exactly what I needed with my all over the place chip shots. For some reason I'm much better using my 3 wood or 4 iron. Everything else is just... bad lol.

I've spent the last 6 weeks recovering from rotator cuff repair surgery and have binged a ton of these types of videos. Makes me want to play so bad

Good refresher lesson Pete.

Like how simple you make this seem.....well explained. Love you vids keep up the great work Peter 👍

Thanks Pete, currentlytrying to learn the feeling of using the bounce rather than just hitting leading edge into the ground. I think I’ve been chipping incorrectly for my entire golfing life 🤦‍♂️ Want to get those nice floaty chip shots rather than my current low bullets (with a 60😆)

Thanks Peter, I am going to give these a shot today

Awesome vid Pete, love it! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Pete! For me, my chipping became much better after watching Rick's video "5 Different Ways To Use A Hybrid On The Golf Course". On shots like you were showing, I would normally "putt" with a 7 or 8 iron, with decent success. Once I started "putting" with the hybrid, I started leaving them REALLY close and have had more chip ins with this method. Of course, you have to see the line! :)

Great stuff Pete. First part of my game that falls apart when I haven't been able to get on the course for a few weeks so anything to help is great.

Like the notion of using the hybrid in place of the a wedge, will try this soon.

Pete thank you for these vids. Sometimes I take a picture of your stance. Then when I get to the golf course I will try to duplicate it.

Nice one Pete, keep these videos coming! ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️

Thanks for the advice Pete Really enjoy these short game videos 👌

I got a wedge fitting with Titleist and ended up with a rather different grind. Now bounce is better engaged with my same swing than previous wedge. Nipping ball consistently. Not foolproof but the huge improvement, which in turn builds confidence, which helps again! Great material, and production. Thanks Peter.

I lost my way you brought me back thanks.

Pete....I thought you had finally nailed the teaching process, but then you diverted. All well and good seeing how to play a shot correctly, we've all seen that. The most effective method is to first show the incorrect way, duffing or skulling, because we have all done it, but we don't always see it from a third person perspective....and then show the difference that the correct way looks like. Cheers

Another great vlog peter, never thought of using my 5 wood around the green will definitely be giving it a try in future.👍

I have always subscribed to the Davis Love " minimum air maximum roll methodology " Depending on my greenside lie I use anything from a 7 iron to 60* wedge. I have had a good amount of success with this.

Cheers Pete your tips are always helpful.

Thanks. Great technique and relaxed chipping. Better chipping leads to a better one putt!

Giving these tips a try tomorrow. 😊

Great video and timely! Having issues with me wedges this week. I took my 54 out of the bag. Now it’s back in.

Great video. Gonna go work on this

Great vlog as always Pete

Great video Pete love your teaching lessons.

Great video Pete, always a nervous part of my game,😬great tips👍😊

The like/dislike ratio is astounding and a testament to how well this format is received. This is the perfect length for an instructional video to fix one problem with multiple solutions. I can’t stand those twenty-minute videos about one thing. I also can’t stand two minute videos. Excellent editing, as well. Very pleased with your content, Pete! And most importantly, thanks for the tips!

Thanks....really work on me

Hi 👋🏻 peter , once again a great 👍 video!!! I have to say I follow also the channel of Rick. But I have to say you explain every stroke so perfectly.... I folleded last review of golf balls while I was doing my running track- and I could image every hit you did....it s perfect 👌 I can learn while doing sports !!! Mega!! I want to say : thanks for your precise explanations !!!! Go for it 🔥👍

Great Video Pete I love your content the swing ruler video is my all time favorite. You should do more videos with other golf KZfaqrs. Keep up the good work.

Thank uou muchly - very helpful 👏

I'll try using 5 wood for pitch and runs next time I'm out. I've used a 7 iron and find that I catch turf first sometimes and ball goes half distance. Great tip Pete.

Haha, my dad is always happy to tell me he's going to use his hybrid around the green. He makes it work well too. Im stubborn and prefer the feel/flight of a wedge even though I occasionally blade it. With those tips though, I might just get better with it!

Nice video Pete if I can improve this area of my game the handicap will be tumbling! I won't miss the power thin at all 😂

The hybrid does do great at that shot..Almost holed one and liked the idea.

Great advice mate, will be taking this onto the course

Great video

Great reminder video thanks

Yes! I would love to stop doing that. But I'm an amateur and by definition I will always be prone to doing those faults.

With chipping, I treat the wedge like a putter. Pitching I treat like a normal shot but only with a 20-40% swing. Also definitely agree with using a fairway or hybrid for long running chips.

Thanks Peter

great video Peter

Love it Peter!

Good advice here Pete. Thanks.

My thought on getting solid chip contact is always to feel like i'm limiting my wrist hinge and keeping my weight on the left foot through the entire motion (for shots under 60 yards)

Nice video and good advice. Exactly what my local golf professional taught me. 👍

You have changed my life Ricky can’t thank you enough

Love the video!!!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Helped me loads this has cheers mate

Great vid Peter will be trying to put these hacks into practice

Will give it a go tomorrow...

I really struggle with my wedges, especially my 60. I’ll be trying these drills on Thursday & Friday. Thanks Pete 👊🏻

Cheers boss ⛳⛳⛳ and you are the boss Pete

The thing that stopped me from chunking chips was finding a wedge with a rounded off front edge on the sole. The ones with a sharp front edge have a tendancy to catch the ground if you come in too steeply. Some cobra irons have this, I don't know about others.

That first shot in the video....YES....thats me, thats hella me....like it pissed me off so much when I saw you do that because it reminds me of my crappy chipping.

My highschool coaches always get mad at me because I use a pitching wedge for all my chips and it always works for me. I don’t like to mess around with too many clubs. Too much to think about. Chipping, just use a pitching wedge with a putting stroke🤷🏽‍♂️

I love the work you do but I think I'm not much of a tutorial learner. I appreciate the added knowledge tho. Thank you

Awesome work 👏.. Can you help us hit long irons better.. definitely a thorough set up explanation.. A+ overall

Biggest tip that's helped me chip + pitch cleanly is keeping my lead arm and shaft in a straight line to make sure the bounce is exposed and focusing on eliminating any wrist hinge

Really useful again Pete. I tend to overuse the hands to flick at the ball. Watching you it’s almost a putting triangle which eliminates that. I’ll get on it 👍

Will try with the fairway woods.

A great trick for being just off the fringe is to take a 7 iron and use your putting stroke. The loft will naturally pop the ball over the fringe, and as long as you keep your hands soft it should have the same distance feel as your putter. Just remember to grip the club and address the ball like a putter. Appreciate the tips Peter. I'm one of those grip in your left pocket guys, with loads of forward press in the hands. I like the low ball flight with the one hop check spin, but i've been having consistency issues with contact. My hands have gotten really yipping, but i can hit sand and flop shots fine. I think I'll take your advice and try to use the bounce angle a little more, get back to a sweeping stroke with less of a V shape.

Good stuff Pete, I've not used my five wood like that before. I'll give it a go!

Great video, something I suffer from! Quite often it’s when I don’t commit to a shot because I don’t know how it will end up. More practice needed to gain that confidence!

Best advice straight to point instead of annoying music and plenty examples as well

Just came across your site. Great instructional video. Tried it this morn in my backyard off a mat. Looking forward to testing on the range before my afternoon game today! Quick question, can you please elaborate a little more when the 5 wood becomes the best opportunity around the green? Thanks!

great video thanks! I was wondering if the stance should be slightly open when chipping? thanks

Great video, much appreciated. One question. Position of the hands/grip in regard to the the grip/shaft of the club. Reason being I have seen many vids that say you should grip down on the shaft with these shots. Chip and pitch shots. Thoughts?

Great video mate - most frustrating part of my game that costs me !!

weird, Peter has filmed my playing? how you knew I'll do this=) hahaha! Greatvidd buddddd

0:00 How did you get that clip of ME????

Nice vid Peter. Nice JD ball logo too

I’ve used my hybrid off the greens a few times but I usually hit it too hard. Going past the hole 6 to 10 ft. Great tutorial I’ll use soon.

I’m an amateur golfer but I have found that I can chip extremely consistently if I hold my pinky on my left hand at the butt end of the wedge grip and my palm (extension of my pinky) overhanging the grip. I get such a good feel and have had so many chip ins because of it. I don’t think anyone else has tried this but it works really well for me. In close proximity to the greens

I'm a big fan of using the wood greenside to get the ball into the green

I've stopped drinking 8 ciders during my round....it's really really helped.

One thing that helped me out tremendously, and Pete mentioned it, but rotating your hips through the chip. I was really bad about only using my hands and arms when i was chipping and this lead to a lot of inconsistencies in ball striking and speed. When I started actually rotating my hips through the shot and letting my hands and arms kinda just follow my ball striking and speed improved tremendously and it’s a lot easier! Make sure you chip with your hips!

This was great Pete, would love to see similar....

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 as always Pete 💪💪💪👍👍👍
