The phrase “let the weight of the club head lead the charge” is one of the best phrases I have heard in all of golf instruction. As someone who recently started to truly appreciate what it means to “release the club head” that phrase really captures the feeling. Pete Cowen talks a lot about how the club head and gravity shape the golf swing. This is a much simpler way of expressing that. Well done!
"THANK YOU" very much! "YOU" are an AMAZING teacher! Other instructors should listen to your teaching techniques. Most of us are average golfers at best. Need all the help that we can get. And you have the great ability to simplify teaching the game to us. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I was able to coincidentally watch this video before my round today and those small queues really made it easy and saved me a few strokes today. Thank you!
Another great video. I will be practicing this method today as soon as I get to the course. Awesome how you explain the techniques in your videos making them so simple.
Been subscribed for a while and I actually appreciate that you continually find a way to create content on your own and it's still informational. Colabs are awesome but you are doing a niche deal. The instructions are great and they work...but also the country club tours are awesome. This all being said....A MrShortGame/Bob Does Sports country club tour and match would be awesome and hilarious. I know those guys would be egregious when it comes to utilizing the amenities lol
Check out at 7:20, the spot in the center of his wedge that was worn out by ALL the shots he’s hit. It takes technique AND wearing out the sweet spot to be good at this…
Hey Mr Short Game, love all the videos. You should bring back the "Drop 5 strokes" series now that you are training to qualify for a pro event. Could be great to work on some of the same things you are doing for your own game. Keep up the great work!!
Excellent. My chipping, well, all of my short game including putting, is adding between 10 - 15 strokes per round. Killing my game. I will try this technique next time out. Thx.
I have always played chips back in my stance. Inconsistent contact leaving longer putts. I practiced this set up today for about 15-20 minutes.I went out later and played 9 holes. 3 great up and downs and 2 short birdies and a 35. High and soft shots with just a little roll out. TEAM BOUNCE 👏 thanks for the great tips
Like everything else, what works for one person may not work for another, but for me personally, I moved the ball forward on every swing, and I’m making MUCH better contact. That’s me personally. My driver is off of my left little toe nowadays. Some people might be the exact opposite, though.
I call it the 1 to 2 Groove Open Setup - i.e. open the clubface until the 1st groove is rotated between where the 2nd&3rd groove would be if you addressed the clubface in a square position.
Normally (I live in southeast Texas an unless you play $80-150 dollar courses) you play off of "hardpan"! (Extremely thin grass with rock hard earth) . This manner of chip/pitch shots is exactly what we have to deal with. We'll done! Learning ball positions to "slide" the club under the ball is how we need to get it done! We'll instructed and a great reminder! (Going to shoot par tomorrow!....yeah right!! Haha)
It’s the same in a lot of places, like my home area of East Tennessee. If we have a hot, dry summer, like right now, hitting chips from the first cut can be absolutely brutal. Sadly, I used to think the opposite, and thought it was better to play the leading edge into the ground, thinking that’d prevent the thin skull across the green, and my chips were all over creation. Watching this guy has made it a lot more consistent for me.
Great tips! The gamut of your chipping and pitching advice has really helped my game be more fun, and scoring better. Question: What are the best ways to chip from deeper rough (ball height or higher) with grass leaning away from hole, and when the pin is close, like within 15 feet or so? Thanks 😊 Love your channel!
After watching these videos I finally got my game under control and am now worth 22,000,000 making 116,000 per month and not a penny was made playing golf.
Matt, are your clubs std length? I am 5-7 and the only way I can get the club shaft straight at set up is to either choke way down or move back from the ball. It always seams like I have to much forward shaft lean at address
Huh? Bermuda doesn’t ever produce “tight lies” It’s grass that sits up, literally tees the ball up. Ball comes out with less spin unless you pick the ball... Fescue and bent grass are the most typical grasses and Bermuda is not a golfing grass.... it’s a lemonade approach for high temp environs.

Releasing/swinging the club head is the secret to great chipping and pitching as it is the most consistent method of engaging the bounce every time.
One of the best instructional videos I've seen in the last few years. And I get bombarded with a lot of them! Hahah
Just came from the driving range, tips worked great, Thanks MSG!!

I enjoy so much watching your videos!! I was not swinging like a clock anymore! Thanks for the lesson! Happy Golfing! 🥰⛳️🏌🏻♀️🇿🇦
Love your golf tips.
Excellent presentation thank you for your time posting this content.
Thanks for all the content. I've gotten so much better watching your videos

Another great program my friend. Be well.

Great lesson Mr. S. Game!
Superb lesson. Thanks for explaining this
“Look at this thing” had me dying of laughter this man needs more recognition ❤️
Wish I found you sooner, what an easy to follow teacher you are!
Great technique and easy to follow and feel.
Simple and easy to exercise, thanks.
Great video !!! Very easy explanation
I have tried Mr Short Games chipping methods; they do work great especially on tight lies. Excellent video, great content

Excellent video, per usual. I would add one more key point: BELIEVE in the shot and COMMIT to the shot.
thanks for the tips!! Golf course looks nice too!!
Thank you you’re totally awesome.
Always great content for the short game! Thank you for all the tips and training videos!

60% of my 19 handicap is a result of my short game. I definitely need some lessons and lots of practice. Great information Matt.
Great stuff!

Me too but I always hit the ball first that way. More consistent then middle of stance I think
Like everything else, what works for one person may not work for another, but for me personally, I moved the ball forward on every swing, and I’m making MUCH better contact. That’s me personally. My driver is off of my left little toe nowadays. Some people might be the exact opposite, though.
🔥🔥🔥
Best technique ever.
Thanks again, great video! I just have new Takomo 52 bounce 10 wedge. It takes shots to use to its bounce but it is worth of it! Try one!
Great listen too.

I like simple, gonna work on this, my chipping will get more consistent for sure, ty.
Quick question, this is very similar to “chip and slide” method. Pretty much the same? If not, what are the differences in flight of the chip?
Do a review of the Ping ChipR! 👍⛳️
Thanks for another great video Mr Short Game! Working on opening the face more often. Have a great time in Panama 🤩
I definitely get nervous opening the club face and risk shanking but I am sick of chunk city 😂 thanks for tips!
Nice one😊 Is this like Phil's 'Hinge & Hold' method? which is actually more of a 'hinge-release-hold') I reckon.
Love it. I've dropped from a 12 to a 9 Handicap since I started watching you videos. How do I get a private lesson?
Question: But when you open the club face, why doesn't the ball go right? Thanks as usual for your excellent videos!!
Great tip I must be opening up my club a little Too much I have to aim to the left of the pen right handed golfer
Really enjoyed the video. One question - shouldn’t you just play more bounce on your wedges if you ALWAYS open it up to create more bounce?
I got a weighted shaft on my 60 degree to really feel heavy through impact
This was money!!! Went to range and had it mastered in 5 min. Now if you could help me with the high push right with driver and I’ll be set lol

Do you on a slow motion camera. I think it be very neat to see the impact

Open clubface, open stance, swing left, one-putt (after stepping it off)!
Your method is played with square shoulders and light grip pressure ?
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is why he’s known as Mr Short Game. 😤
You must have ESP. This past weekend was nightmare for Chipping. this would have been very helpful.. Especially with faster Greens..

Check your grip bro. Might be the issue.
@@Loki1989 i have tried that
Watched many vids
Don’t think thats the issue but thanks for the advice
I pitch with the toe 'down' just like a putt....best chip on the course.
Why do you love liv golf?
So how do you hit a low lob?
I’m the mayor of Chunk city.
Close enough!
Chipster
Don’t out your hands forward? Watch Mickelson. He does and he swears by his method. It works for me too (but not as good as Mickelson…)
Huh? Bermuda doesn’t ever produce “tight lies”
It’s grass that sits up, literally tees the ball up. Ball comes out with less spin unless you pick the ball...
Fescue and bent grass are the most typical grasses and Bermuda is not a golfing grass.... it’s a lemonade approach for high temp environs.
I was going to subscribe but unfortunately you didn't make it! lol
