I Discovered a 100% DUFF PROOF Way to Chip And It's Scary Good!

- I set out to “Duff-Proof” my chipping - and I think I’ve found the way! With some very basic tweaks I was able to craft an easy way to chip that doesn’t require much practice (if at all).
I’ve chipped maybe 100 times since then and haven't duffed one. I like my odds so far. Statistically speaking that’s a 100% Duff-Proof way to chip.

Tom!!!!! I cannot thank you enough for all the help you have given me with my golf game. You are a fabulous teacher. I have been watching you for a couple of years and you have helped my game tremendously. thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! Eve.
I sincerely appreciate your kind and supportive message, Eve, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your dramatic improvement and keep up the fabulous work!! 💪💪

PS: Given your exceptional progress to-date, if you've not already joined have you considered enrolling in the online school and taking your learning - and your game - to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying/resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise, plus advanced level instruction, and much more. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet.
Great video Tom! You're a great teacher and make everything so simple. Do you use a similar swing with your chips and use different clubs to adjust the distance?
YOU WEREN'T KIDDING! One of your best tips! Thanks Tom!
Thanks Ben! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Thanks so much Tom. I am back to the game at 50 with a year year lay off. Your simplified approach to teaching has been a game changer for me. I only have a couple of things I think about at adress instead of 10 :) Game is coming around. Keep doing what you are doing sir!
Fantastic!! I’m very glad to know that my teaching style is resonating with you, Patrick; excellent job incorporating the instruction into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for your support in sharing your progress and keep up the great work!! 💪💪
Tom
Dear Tom, This is the best video on chipping I have ever seen. I used to bend too much and that is why I could never chip properly. Now I know that I have to keep my left hand straight and keep weight on my leading foot i.e. left leg.
Thanks so much! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Great tip Tom. I was having problems with that myself. I was playing the ball too far back, like Nickolas says. Using your method and moving the ball up works. Then use the clock for different distances. I'm coming off the single plain teachings, It's hard to switch after watching Bryson use the single plain. But your method works for me. I make better contact almost every swing. It's giving me confidence. Thank you. I gotta tell you Tom. I used to be a 4 handicap. When I was 50, I played in a Monday Qualifier for the seniors. I played so bad, I threw my clubs down and didn't pick them back up for almost 15 years. I am now 73 and I cannot remember how I used to hit the ball, but I used to be a long hitter. I would hit driver over 300. The only thing I could remember about my old swing was I used to take the club straight back and had an upright swing. After picking the clubs back up. I couldn't hit a ball to save my ass. Your method has really helped me get back in the swing of things, so to speak.Thank you Tom
Please tell me How Nickolas says to do it.
I have the opposite problem. I am 5'7", barrel chested, short arms. My irons are all 4 degrees flatter and I take .5" off of the overall length. The short game has never been my issue. For the longest time my issues were the long clubs. What got the long clubs working was watching Lee Trevino videos. He is built similarly. To get his arms to clear he always set up to everything very open in his stance. Everything else he instructed was the same fundamentals you have been explaining. In my older age, three back surgeries, etc, that opening of the stance is even more important due to all the hardware in my lower spine. Pre-load the left side, monitor the club face, left side starts the downswing, the same. It really is a slight modification is all. The latest mistake I fixed, the easiest one, was my grip. My right hand was way too strong. Now it is neutral or less. A buddy of mine detected that. I hit a few balls and what do you know, big improvement with solid contact.
Michael did you notice a loss of distance going to 1/2 shorter length shafts? I believe I need to do that same thing!
@@paulcox4273 Not anything to worry about. Because my dispersion tightened up (on the short grass much more) I could not really say yes or no. Consistency was what I wanted most. Also, I am totally over trying hero shots. I focus my course management on never messing with trouble. One particular par 4 is so tight, I hit 7 iron from the tee. Mentally, I say it is three to get on now. Why? Never a lost ball again. Two bunkers in front left and right guard a 15 yard opening to the green. Second shot is short of that, chip on, then one or two putts. Shorter clubs? I would not go back to "standard" length again. I have come down from 20 to 14 handicap via better course management and proper fit of my clubs. My strong points are chipping and putts. Become an outstanding lag putt guy. That is good for 4 strokes per round. I'm 65, so I play the senior tees. Just trying to have fun. Days of smashing long drives? Those days exist only in my dreams.
@@MichaelSisley-fw3xr thank you so much for the reply! Yes I totally agree with accuracy over power I’m 58 and my king hitting days are history. I’m 5’ 9” and also have shorter arms and a belly that I didn’t used to have so I’m really considering shorting the shaft. Thanks again and keep that handicap coming down!
@paulcox4273 - Seems as though @MichaelSisley-fw3xr has done an excellent job figuring things out to suit his physical attributes and issues. What grabbed my from your message was the statement that your "king hitting days are history". With your being just 58 years of age, unless you have serious health problem I would beg to differ. A significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.
Forgive me if I've asked previously, but have you looked into the comprehensive, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet.
And if you'd like to first "dip a toe in the water" prior to diving into the school, then here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ That is where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner.
You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Tom
Great tip! Removing variables at every turn, thank you!
My pleasure, Michael - that's what I always try to do!
I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Love it - could you specify the loft on the club you were using in the video - thank you
Thanks!
That was my 48-degree PXG gap wedge in this video.
Tom
I used to think “turn “. Now I think “tilt”. Thinking “tilt “ makes it very easy to keep weight forward and avoiding sway. Thanks to Tom, my game has been much improved.
Finally!! After 3 almost 4 years of playing golf (struggling), I just couldn't find a natural swing that worked for me, everything felt to difficult to maintain.
Now I have! I've been practicing and watching your videos for a few weeks. I've played a Par 3/4 9 hole course today and got 3x Pars, 5x Bogeys and 1x triple, still very happy with today.
FANTASTIC!! I am very glad to know that my instruction is resonating with you; excellent job incorporating it into your swing and putting it into play.
Thanks so much for sharing your improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

Hey Tom,
Thank you for the confirmation. I had trouble with a consistent chip shot as well. So I began experimenting with different techniques and I stumbled upon something similar, just keep the left arm straight. When I add my right hand and arm, it forms an arm triangle. I hold the triangle and swing from the shoulders and upper arms for a pendulum swing. It has helped my chipping a ton. Thanks for confirming the technique. Please continue with the great videos.
Excellent job, Jack, and I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson validated what you were focusing on! Thanks for sharing that and keep up the great work!!

Your explanations, followed by easy to understand tips are fantastic. I also like how you freely admit to having faced striking the ball issues and your search for ways to overcome your shortfalls.
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity and simplicity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.

Awesome! Thanks for this and the stress reduction around the greens.
My pleasure! I hope it performs well for you when you take it out to the course!!
Tom
I do something similar! I saw Scottie talk about "toe down" chipping. Where you stand super close to the ball and the heel of the club is off the ground slightly. I use it for crappy lies when I want to limit turf interaction. Super consistent! Now I just need to learn how to putt. Hahahaha
Indeed, Aaron! It's a pro setup "cheat code" for difficult conditions such as deep/thick grass, thin lies, pine straw, etc. We address the ball with the club in a more vertical position so that the toe is pointing downward and the heel is off the ground. We can vary the extent of this based on the severity of the lie.
Nice job! Now, get that flat stick figured out so you can get up and down and cash in on your chipping prowess!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf when I was a scratch golfer in high school, I just got so good at chipping that I didn't need to putt much. Lol
I switched my putting stroke up this year and it's WAY more consistent. I was opening the face so I switched to a reverse grip to help me keep the face square
I have so much trouble chipping , this makes sooooo.... much sense ! I cannot wait to try this out ! Iam so very grateful !
I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, Patrick, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
GREAT tip Coach. I have been inconsistent with my chipping as well because of bend to ball. this little tidbit clears my mind and am taking it to course this morning. Stay well-Russ
Tom. Have the exact issue and the exact remedy. I practiced with each arm independently and found the left lead arm was the solution. Thanks for reaffirming this. Great instructions.
My pleasure, Lou! I'm glad this lesson provided validation for you. Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Yes !!! My biggest fault….wristy chipping with a bent left arm ! Thanks, Tom !
Sounds about right. Left arm straight is such a key on all shots. Like Tom said, if you think your arm is straight, make it straighter
Thank you. I will give it a try.
My pleasure, Alan! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Great tip as usual! Iam 5'10" and have short little arms! Lol ! So I have no issues straightening my for me right arm, Im left handed. In the deep rough I bend a little more widen my stance point the butt of the club at my front knee and come down on an angle to pop the ball out. More wrists involved but it works for me.
Great tip! Thank You.
Wow! Looks amazing and easy to incorporate! I’m going to try it! Thanks Tom!
My pleasure, Bob! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
I'm like you. I'm a very good ball striker but I am not good around greens. Always guessing. I just tried this in my yard and wow really good. For me I like chipping with 56. By simple changing ball position I can manulipulate trajectory with same stroke. You have something here.
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke, and have fun taking it out to the course!!
Thanks for sharing your experience!!
Tom
Saw off my right arm and chip. Love the humor bro❤
LOL! Yeah - it had nearly gotten to that point, but it would have been problematic for my guitar playing habit... 😆
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Tom
Great observation! As usual, you keep it simple and effective.
Thanks Robert! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Great work Tom, excellent fix for a common problem.
Thanks Pete - I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
🤯🤯🤯🤯 I can chip perfectly with my PW & 8 iron. But not with my SW. I have long arms too. Turns out the shaft on my SW is longer. This video just solved a major issue with my chipping-thank you!
Fantastic! Thanks for your validating remarks, and I hope this performs well when you take it out to the course!
Tom
Had golf League last night. Using this setup 2 for 2 on saves and on Par 5 3rd shot chip within 3 ft for Birdie. Thanks brother.
OUTSTANDING!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your greenside improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Just tried it, and it effin' works. THANKS!!!
LOL! That's "effin'" fantastic, Joseph! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play!!
Thanks so much for sharing your greenside improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
THAT’s what I needed to hear. Thank you.
My pleasure! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, Bob, and I hope it performs well when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Perfect video for me. I've been hitting the ball great after your online course, but didn't have the confidence with shots close to the green. Just in time. Thank you!!
I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Scott; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your greenside improvement and keep up the great work!!

@@SagutoGolf After watching so many of your videos and taking your online course, I've never enjoyed golf more in my life. Your ability to train, coach, and play golf are all awesome. I have applied everything I have learned and haven't practiced much at all. I have been hitting the ball really good, the best I have in my life and it's 100 percent based on SagutoGolf training. Before I took the course I came home from the driving range and was really thinking about giving it up. I was telling my wife about Saguto online training and she said take it you will most likely at least know you are practicing everything correctly. I took it and after taking the online course instead of quitting, I bought a brand new set of irons and enjoying working on what I have learned and seeing the great results. Thank you SagutoGolf.
I do very much the same thing. I do play the ball back a touch more maybe, but as long as weight is forward, left arm straight, nice easy putt like stroke, head down for days... money. Sone actually get close😂😂😂
Tom, you are the best. Gratzy
Tom...I finally signed up for your course...I review a lesson each week before my league. Chipping is my albatross. This lesson looks so simple I'm sure it will help me. Thanks! BK
Well it's about time, Bruce..... 😆😆
Just kidding! That's awesome - welcome aboard!!
As for this chipping lesson, yes - it should help as what I am demonstrating here is a way of eliminating variables from the stroke to crisp up contact and deliver consistency.
Thanks for your message and enjoy the school!
Tom
Fantastic tip Tom, I will be trying this out tomorrow on the course.
Thanks Geoff! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson connected with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Tom, I also have a long torso and short legs. Standing upright more is a great idea. Thanks
Saggy chipster fix! Love it.
LOL! Go forth and duff no more, Alan!
Yes I do this in a similar way. Heal up, straightens the left arm and forces stance up. Then my right hand feels lke its throwing underhand to my landing target.
Nice job, Gareth, and thanks for sharing your chipping feel!!
Tom
LOVED the simple but very helpful chipping tip. I am so tired of laying 2 greenside and experiencing major anxiety as to where my chip is going to go. Playing tomorrow and am looking forward to implementing (or trying to implement) your guidance. Thank you Tom.
Thanks John! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke today! Have a great round!
Tom
I found my chipping improving by choking up on the handle and addressing the ball with heel of the club off the ground. This reduced the club to ground interaction and allows the bounce to work better for me.
There are many individual nuances and personal preferences involved when it comes to chipping, Paul. We see it all the time on Tour as no two techniques appear to be the same. We need to figure out what works best and most reliably for us, and what I am demonstrating here is a way that I eliminated variables from my stroke to crisp up contact and deliver consistency.
Thanks for sharing what works best for you!
Tom
A similar effect as what I am demonstrating here, Paul. Toe-down is indeed a pro setup "cheat code" for difficult conditions such as deep/thick grass, thin lies, pine straw, etc.
Thanks for sharing!
Tom
Great tips, as usual…I don’t wanna steal your thunder Tom…I watched a video by Lee Trevino that showed how to use different lofted clubs to chip when in close, as opposed to relying on the wedge…I regularly use my 6 and 8 irons when I’m within 20 yds of the green….your video tips pretty much mirror Trevino’s
No risk of stealing my "thunder" with a comparison to one of the game's short game wizards!! 😎
And yes - there are about as many individual nuances and personal preferences involved when it comes to chipping as there are golfers in the world. We see it all the time on Tour as no two techniques appear to be the same. We need to figure out what works best and most reliably for us, and what I am demonstrating here is a way that I eliminated variables from my stroke to crisp up contact and deliver consistency.
Thanks for your message and validating remarks!
Tom
I had a similar problem w a similar solution. I suggest 2 additions to this video. 1. talk about distance control on the chip or pitch (I use the position of my non dominant arm in the backswing as a guide); and 2. talk about trajectory, such as getting it over a bunker (I move the ball up in my stance and use the bounce more). Thanks again for showing your vulnerability.
I meant the back arm when I said non dominant.
I'm glad to know that this tip resonated with you, Peter, and I appreciate the suggestions! There are about as many nuances and personal preferences involved when it comes to chipping as there are golfers in the world. 😎 We see it all the time on Tour as no two techniques appear to be the same. We need to figure out what works best and most reliably for us, and what I am demonstrating here in general terms is a way that I eliminated variables from my stroke to crisp up contact and deliver consistency. From there, it's really up to the individual golfer to experiment with the methodology and applying it to their club(s) of choice, achieving varying trajectories, distance control, etc.
Thanks again for your message and support!
Tom
Good stuff Tom . I found this setup key on my own years ago, called it ' stand tall - address the ball' and it worked well.
Fantastic, and I like your catchy name for it!
Thanks for validating this chipping lesson with your own personal research and experimentation results!
Tom
It works !!!
I also have long torso and arms and to address the same problem you having I side-bend. What side bending the lumbar spine ) does is change the angle of the shoulders relative to the pelvis, raising the lead shoulder and lowering the trail one. Raising the lead shoulder keeps the lead arm straight.
In a full swing side bend it is what causes the trail arm tuck the body and shift the force vector of the lead arm lever mass which pulls the club down the target line. Why should the impact posture for a chip be any different? With side bending and a slightly closed stance it become very easy to swing the club head down the target line with no wrist hinge chipping swing. Try it, you’ll like it.😊
I don't disagree and have done that, but as you well know there are about as many individual nuances and personal preferences involved when it comes to chipping as there are golfers in the world. 😎 We see it all the time on Tour as no two techniques appear to be the same. We need to figure out what works best and most reliably for us, and what I am demonstrating here is a way that I eliminated variables from my stroke to crisp up contact and deliver consistency. It also has the added benefit of invoking the pro setup "cheat code" for difficult chip shot conditions such as deep/thick grass, thin lies, pine straw, etc. We address the ball with the club in a more vertical position so that the toe is pointing downward and the heel is off the ground, which has the effect of producing cleaner contact. We can vary the extent of this based on the severity of the lie.
Thanks as always for your helpful thoughts and suggestions!
Tom
Definitely going to try this,I've all but given up on my Chipping, tks
I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, Stephen, and I hope it delivers for you that much needed crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
TS
I am looking forward to chipping and putting practice when my backyard putting green is finished this week.
That's awesome, Jeff! Enjoy your new practice facility!!
Tom
Great videos, any adjustments for pitching and time to get back to the bunker more than visiting the beach. Thanks
Thanks - I'm glad you're enjoying my content! You should find a few videos if you enter the word "chip", “putt”, or "bunker" into this channel's search bar. However, the vast majority of my short game content is in the online school: saguto.golf

I have been using the putting stroke around the green with some success, adjusting loft and bounce for distance and lie. Your idea of getting consistency by keeping the left arm straight should further refine my chips. Thanks!
My pleasure, John! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it helps you get your stroke dialed in all the more! And by the way, this method also lends itself to the pro toe-down "cheat code" for difficult conditions such as deep/thick grass, thin lies, pine straw, etc. You can vary the extent of this based on the severity of the lie. This little tip will aid greatly in achieving a cleaner strike.
Have fun out there sharpening your greenside proficiency!
Tom
Great timing! I have been working on this
Awesome! I hope it helps!!
Tom
I practice chipping for about45 minutes every practice session and I'm pretty consistent getting the ball close to the pin. For the past 2 weeks I've had the shanks. I've had to resort to using a hybrid little punch shot. I did exactly what you were doing with one arm so I'll give this a go . film at 11
LOL! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers "newsworthy" crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke! 😎
Tom
This looks so consistent, definitely going to try this
Works perfectly 🎉
Fantastic! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Sam; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play!! Thanks so much for sharing your greenside improvement and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Great tip thanks Tom. Side note: You need to bring back the in-the-camera’s-face comments. They were your hilarious trademark. The fact that you have a cameraman has taken away some of your sizzle!!
LOL!! Another line from the "you can't please everyone" script.....😎 Well, my dad was the camera guy, so I guess I'll have to let him know that he's fired in favor of the Return of Ranting Tom.... 😆😆
Actually, the intended effect - which he and I discussed prior to shooting - was for it to be as if the viewer was at the practice range with me and I'm engaging in a conversational demonstration with him or her. The camera was to be regularly changing focal point and perspective as the student's eyes would be during an actual lesson.
Anyway, thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed the chipping lesson and I hope it performs well when you incorporate it into your stroke!!
Tom
Well said - but don’t kill the golden goose!! Best of both worlds: Don’t be afraid to get in the camera’s grill just because pops / a human is holding it now haha!
Tok, thanks so much for this tip.
My pleasure, Bill - I hope it helps your chipping game!!
TS
I had a similar problem however I took a tip from an old book by Paul Runyan, and just choked down to the steel part of the club so that my left arm was straight.
Mr. Runyan was certainly a wizard around the greens!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Tom
Great advice. I started focusing on keeping my right arm straight this spring and my chipping is 🔥
Thanks - I'm glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you! Awesome job dialing in your greenside game, and keep up the great work!!

Great tip, Tom 👍🏻
Chipping is not one of my strengths. I have long 35” arms, so maybe this will help. Can’t wait to try it.
I am trying to stand more upright in my full swing too, with promising results. Maybe you’re onto something.
Keep throwing out more of these little crispy nuggets. They’re great. 👊🏻
Thanks Mike! I hope it performs well for you when you take it out to the course!
As for your full swing work, it wouldn't be golf if we weren't constantly experimenting and tinkering, right?? 😆
Keep up the great work and keep it KFCrispy!!

That upper torso tilt! I was missing that after trying to rebuild my swing with the new golf technology after a 20 year hiatus from the game (went sailing).
That tilt had led to much more consistent ball contact. But ad you demonstrate, one's chipping may require some adaptation, like a green side sand bunker, uphill and down hill lies, and the driver (especially adding a downward tilt to your back shoulder. And then there is the putting stance.
So we all want one silver built solution. As you show some adaptation is required to the basic swing.
Perhaps an episode that addresses the differences would be helpful:
normal iron
Up hill iron
Down hill iron
Greenside bunker flat, uphill. Downhill
Fairway bunker
100 yard in pitching
Greenside chipping
Putting
And finally. The Driver
Maybe too much? The idea us to let players know there are basic setups that one must tweak
Everything you are asking for (and more) - in the sequential detail you crave - defines my online school! The school is designed to get golfers on the fast track towards properly learning this swing system in a comprehensive, sequential platform, and it will make for a far more efficient, superior, and enjoyable learning process rather than haphazardly trying to piece things together through these channel videos that jump around randomly from topic to topic. The school is where you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step, position-by-position from setup to finish, along with diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. At just $14.99/month or $149.99 per year the value in terms of what you get for that price point is beyond comprehension, and based on proven results it represents by far the best golf instruction deal on the planet.

Thank you very much for the tip. My chipping has gotten so bad that I usually Texas wedge every ball I can that's close to the green.
My pleasure, Percy! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Made my chipping identical to putting. Omg
Sure simplifies things, right?? Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Game changer! Thanks Tom. What club are you using in this clip? Do you like to change up the wedges depending on distance?
Thank you sir!
Fantastic!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you, Mike; excellent job incorporating it into your chipping stroke and putting it into play!!
I was using my 48-degree PXG gap wedge in this video. I might use something more lofty around the green depending on what the situation calls for. Anyway, this was about technique and not club selection, so be sure to experiment with what works best for you.
Thanks so much for sharing your greenside improvement at the beautiful Dunes Club, and keep up the great work!!

Interesting. I fell into what I’m guessing is same info as read to play ball closer to body which made me stand taller. Thanks Tommy Two Guns!

@@SagutoGolf That chipping shot just saved my game. I can't even start to thank you for that.

I like to use sort of a putting stroke for sure.
Nice video. My course has all elevated greens. Very little chipping on flat ground like your video. I’d love to see some training videos on side hill chips to elevated greens.
I'm glad to know that this tip resonated with you, Denny, and I appreciate the suggestions! There are about as many nuances and personal preferences involved when it comes to chipping as there are golfers in the world. 😎 We see it all the time on Tour as no two techniques appear to be the same. We need to figure out what works best and most reliably for us, and what I am demonstrating here in general terms is a way that I eliminated variables from my stroke to crisp up contact and deliver consistency. From there, it's really up to the individual golfer to experiment with the methodology and applying it to their club(s) of choice, achieving varying trajectories, distance control, etc.
Thanks,
Tom
National Fried Chicken Day TODAY!!
ENJOY a bucket of Crispy TS Golf shots with your Crispy Chicken Bucket😊
Thx, Tom
Makes sense! An alternative if you "like" getting down with the ball on a chip is to choke up to where your left arm can be straight. I like both approaches but getting down with the ball on chips stimulates creative energy. 😁

Wow!.....I just swerved into that little move practicing my bump-n-runners (which have been disastrous for a month), yesterday around our practice green....Now if I can only stop leaving my close-in floppers short.....rofl
LOL! Let us know when you get that close-in flopper from a tight lie figured out!!
@@SagutoGolf I did because of your technique....Not afraid of that one anymore....Now I just have to hit them hard enough.
by standing up you tend to hit the ball off the toe of the club.This is a finesse shot and it is the best around the green
That is precisely why this is a chipping lesson, Stefano!
Another awesome tip!!
Thanks Tim! I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, and I hope it performs well when you incorporate it into your stroke!
Tom
Love your videos Tom. Overall my game has improved after following your channel however I find I’m not taking a divot on most of my shots. Any suggestions?
I'm very glad to learn of your improvement, David!
With regard to that thin contact, consider the following possibilities: 1) Ball position is too far forward, 2) Hands are too far back at address (they should be in line with the inside of your lead thigh), 3) The swing center and low point are drifting backwards at some point during the motion (face-on video will help you determine this), 4) The downswing is steep and/or the path is out-to-in, 5) Early extension of the trail arm during the downswing (also known as "casting"), 6) Flipping/scooping through the zone, 7) Loss of relationship with the ball (shoulder angle flattening, loss of tilt). Though not an exhaustive list, those are the primary causes of divot-less contact. By the way, always begin with the setup - in this case the first two possibilities - prior to diving into a swing intervention.
And while there are certainly videos on my channel that address these various issues, a better option would be my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ It's a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the instruction style that has thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews

Another great tip from Tom... He has helped me so much with the other parts of my game that I am actually enjoying myself (most of the time) on the course. Where I have less fun is around the green. Having my drive get me to 10-30 yards from the green is useless if it takes me 2-3 chips to get on and ready to putt. Can't wait to try this... One question I had was around club choice... How far were your chips in this video? And what club were you using? Looked to be at least a 56 degree? That your typical club of choice for chipping?
I'm very glad to know that this chipping lesson resonated with you, Mike, and I hope it delivers crispy greenside consistency and much lower scores when you incorporate it into your stroke!

@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom. I tried this technique today and it absolutely works!
I had recently discovered that left arm straight seemed to work better. Of course like the rest of my game I do it well when practicing but on the course I don't always do what I practice
There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Members' Forum of my online school on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course, Robert. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process, and as your practice performance becomes more and more consistent, then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the pressures and challenges of actual play. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing. An excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante. Another book that I like is "Play Your Best Golf Now" by Lynn Marriott & Pia Nilsson.

@@SagutoGolf
What a thoughtful and meaningful reply this is. I think we all struggle with this. You think you have some shot down, since you've practiced it, and then it lets you down on the course - to your amazement and dismay. It's like, "why do I bother practicing this"?? It is in your head. Especially for us lower handicappers. You only get one try at it on the course - that's what's in your head. That's what's different in practice. So, you somehow must find the correct feel first, before making the shot. I do that with lots of practice swings on any finesse/feel shots. Once I think I have it with the practice swing, I then try to put that EXACT same swing on the shot that counts. Oh, and yes, keep your head down!!!!
Thanks Tom - your tips are great. Real world and useful. I will check out your mini course you mentioned here as well.
I too could chip ok with just left arm, being left handed, but when use both went straight back to bad chips. So I’ll try your tilt tip ASAP. Could you explain the tilt in a bit more detail plz. Love your videos.

Tom
Tom how far do you go back before you lift the club
I don't independently lift the club, Billy. It simply elevates in response to the motion and preservation of the upper arm connection points.
In other words, if we pre-establish the connections properly in the setup and have a foundational base that facilitates a full centered turn without restriction, then once we've ingrained the correct actions through sequential drilling and repetition we can entrust the motion to the big muscles and allow the arms, wrists, hands, and club to simply go along for the ride and respond accordingly as if on autopilot. The power accumulators - including the proper arm, wrist, and hand action - will then naturally load and fire with no contrived manipulations or precise timing necessary, thereby returning the face to the position pre-established at address. It's called "giving up control to gain control", and it's the formula for consistently blissful ball striking and seemingly effortless power.
Tom
Your videos are so helpful. I have learned a lot watching them! Quick question, though: does the greens keeper want to strangle you😅 for the 30 foot trenches on the course?
Heck NO, Todd!! That is the "signature line" of this easily repeatable, powerful, low-maintenance swing system! Course superintendents love it for ease of repair and speed of turf recovery, and you'll love it for the crispy contact and missile-like ball flight byproducts!
By the way, you can have it too!!

Can I ask. Do u put the ball in the middle of your stance for all irons?
We first need to be aware that camera angles can greatly skew the viewer's perspective on ball position. That aside, while this system affords you some leeway, in general once my students and members show some level of proficiency with the swing I suggest that they migrate to a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and creeping more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). From there they can make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape. (By the way, I strongly suggest using alignment sticks when monitoring ball position - one on the foot line, a second one parallel to the first to mark the target line, and a third perpendicular to these to show ball position - as our side-on view from above tends to skew our perspective of the actual location of the ball relative to our stance.)
As for hand position, it remains consistent - even with the inside of your lead thigh - no matter which club you are hitting. Additionally, the lead arm and club shaft should form a straight line from the face-on view, giving your setup a lowercase "y" look.

Modified putt stroke?
Depending on the length of the shot it certainly can be.
TS
That's a pretty long grip on your club. Maybe you could use the bottom half so you don't have to stand so straight up? I don't know. Maybe you could give it a whirl.
Toe down chipping. It's the way to go!
YES! And the added bonus is that it is the pro "cheat code" for achieving clean contact from a wide variety of difficult lies!
TS
Looks good…I’m having success utilizing your full swing keys with shorter shots around the green…soft pitches, low runners and chipping…I like the simplicity of this technique…it’s always good to have a bagful of different shots…golf is not a game of perfect. Be ready with a usable arsenal.
Just like guitar…

Do you use jumbo max grips. Your swing tips are second to none.
I appreciate that, David, and I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!
I was using JumboMax Ultralite grips in extra-large for much of 2022 and the first part of 2023. I had wanted to give them a try for a few reasons, including the fact that DeChambeau uses them and we share similar swing philosophies. I personally liked the feel as well as how they helped to keep my hands quiet through the zone.
Now, having said that, I purchased a new set of PXG's in the spring of 2023, and since they don't carry the Jumbo's in-house I went with their largest available grip, which is a midsize. I absolutely love the clubs, and I'm putting the factory grips through the playing test before deciding whether or not to have them regripped. There are no issues with the Jumbos and I still really like the way they feel; that's just where I'm at presently.
The Jumbos are not necessarily for everyone - and my fingers are a bit longer than average - so I routinely tell folks to "try before you buy." However, having a properly sized grip that feels both comfortable and secure is critically important as it is our only connection to the object that is going to deliver us blissful joy or deep anguish, yet it is perhaps also the most overlooked equipment fitting component in golf.
Thanks again for your message and support!
