Shawn, I discovered your video series a couple of weeks ago after searching for instruction online for a couple of months. Wow, terrific!

Golf season is done in Canada until spring...looking forward to getting out on the course.

Stumbled upon yr channel when I was searching about strong grip release. Cut story short, I spent the last one week watching almost everything on yr channel and its easy for me to take in your wisdom coz I got the same grip as Sav. Guys, forget about neutral grips, hold it loosely and all the myth you hear out there. Shawn is easily the Top 3 best coaches and he explains how to swing it more naturally. Its so much simpler then all the other BS out there. Thank You Shawn n Sav n Mu. Stay safe and Happy Hols guys. 👍👍

I have struggled with inconsistent chipping (and literally ruining good rounds of golf) for the last year. So frustrating. I took this lesson to the chipping area of my range yesterday...and the results were nothing short of extraordinary. Once I had the feel...every chip was "pure" solid. Taking it to the course on Monday and my confidence will be sky high. Thanks...for me, this was the best video you've done in some time.
Just use a hybrid. Too many inconsistencies chipping with wedges, fat/thin, getting right distance control Just use a hybrid (with a putting stroke) so much better. Saving 4-5 shots a round since I started it You can't fat/thin a hybrid, you'll make proper contact every time. All you need to master is how hard to hit it
Hey Hank! Top chipping distance is about 35 yards before you need more backswing to activate the folding and hinging; i.e. the loading of the arm-club unit.
Great content, coach. Such a critical part of the game that is overlooked. My 115mph+ driver speed means nothing if I chili dip during the moment of truth in the scoring zone... watch DJ, JT and Jason Day hunker down when it is time to scramble. Power and precision = lower handicap all day long.
Hey Shawn loving your channel when chipping I have been taught to keep the golf club straight to allow the angle of the club do the work, you are saying to keep your hands in front of the ball, am I reading this right?
Dave Pelzs. plays the ball back behind the rear foot in his chipping stance. It is a very effective method for hitting out of divots. Raymond Floyd plays the ball in the middle of the stance and used the words " chip like you putt ". I found both methods work very well. I like to use both methods dictated by the lie and desired ball trajectory . The two keys that I found to be of importance are sternal notch awareness and maintaining the lower case " y" formed by the arms and club shaft thru the stroke. I wish Martin would retire and that's no "rubbish". Shawn that last analysis is paying off big time. Much deeper hip turn resulting in improved ball compression. Nice color coordination guys and gal. Be safe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Oops I'm sorry. Do Canadian's celebrate Thanksgiving? hmm dunno . I will have to google that one. Thanks for another great video. #1

Why are his arms allowed to separate from the body? I've been taught to put a towel under my armpit area, and the towel must be locked in place. To 'only" move the large body parts, "to not swing the arms". Can you explain? I love your video and I believe in your teaching. I used to be a scratch golfer. (2 handicap) Then I had two knee surgeries and heart surgery. (Car accident!) I'm healing, a large part of my PT is the golf range. But I can't find my swing! I have to relearn to (like everyone else) find a "repeatable" swing. Thanks for your videos. I need it more than you know!
Hi Dovey! Very sorry about the confusion in the teaching industry; here is a video that explains it for you: th-cam.com/video/L9fmj6ke1-g/w-d-xo.html When you want to take the strings off your Pinocchio, see our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and see the following videos: -throwing the club and the throwing series -using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy -backswing levitation -kinetic chain facilitation series
Hi Shawn, do you advocate a strong grip for chipping as you do for a full swing? If so, how strong? Super strong as your stock draw or a little strong as your stock fade?
Chipping is a completely different animal! You can go putting grip if you like even cross handed. There is no second pendulum when chipping and there is no CURVE as your swing does not produce enough speed. Savy likes to stay with strong grip but opens the face; here we do not want closed face. We explain all this in our chipping video on premium which is very extensive and leaves no stone unturned so you can relax and just let momentum cut grass in the direction you want the ball to go.
Shawn, the hammer drill and using an intermediate point has really helped me with chipping. Now I have a viable alternative to Lefty’s “Hinge & Hold” if needed. It’s remarkable how such different mechanics can lead to good results.
Love your presentation. My weakest area in the golf game is chipping around the greens. Seems as if I have tried all the so-called methods, still the yips follow me wherever I go. What you do makes perfect sense. Been following your channel for some time. Keep trying to follow your advice on chipping but having a difficult time executing. I am a single digit handicap at my course and if I could chip better could take 3 to 4 strokes off the handicap. I will keep trying.
Hey Jack! Get a 5 to 6 pound sledge hammer and swing that back and forth to get the feel; then translate that to the chipping motion! For more, get with our premium channel where we have a solid slew of chip videos with 2 camera angles that demonstrate what we do; you will see a couple with Mu in there as well in his learning curve that is sure to help. Like I said, once you get this, there is no holding you back! 😀👍
Great stuff Shawn, would the full swing have the same feeling, I'm very conscious of tuning right hand over left as a release in full swing, lot of work with so so results of my timing is spot on.TIA.
Back to struggling with chipping. Maybe something to do with the sweet spot for ball position. The blur seems to be cutting grass not exactly at the same spot every time inspite of using legs and weight of arm club unit. Even the fairways/grass are not friendly. Very very short grass on soft/hard surface.
Interesting to see yous till teaching the hands forward back if stance chip Shaun. Seen lots of instructors saying that’s old school now and risks the odd dig behind ball. They talk about ball slightly forward now and hands neutral to use the bounce. They say this new way means even a hit behind ball strikes it due to the bounce and more open face. What are your thoughts on this. I’m torn on which one suits me. Thanks
Don’t listen to them!!!!! What is the purpose of the chip???? To cut through the stem of the dandelion with the weight (momentum) of the arm-club unit and NOT to hit the ball!!!! This is why they keep chasing their tails with technique because they don’t have the proper task and purpose to begin with!!! Please, please see my chipping video on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and any of my chipping videos on youtube like “chip yips shawn clement” and “chip shanks shawn clement” and “sternal notch chipping shawn clement”
@@golflessons ok so the strong grip with advance and tilting the shaft to the front hip to square the head can be use from driver to wedge but for chipping it is an other approch right?
Hi Shawn, Sav, and Mu, thanks so much. I love watching you guys. What about club face? Square, open, use the bounce? Is there another video that addresses this?
WONDERFUL instruction! However, I surprised you didn't mention anything about the sole of the club position moving through the grass and at ball contact.
Thanks for the video! Been struggling for some time with my chipping. Seems like the majority of chipping videos out there that are adamant about NOT wanting your hands forward and the ball back in your stance. Needless to say, I am watching your video today because after watching them all, I am still struggling. Would love to hear your thoughts as to why your setup works so well and theirs does not. Thanks!
Man, every instrument apart from a push broom was designed for the hands to come through first, from a baseball bat, to tennis racquet to fishing pole to hockey stick to Jai Alai basket…🙄My stuff is based on actual science and not assumptions based on opinion. In our premium channel, we have a series called the “kinetic chain series” that explains this in detail from the chip to the pitch to the bunker shot and flop shot to irons and woods. HUGE!!
I like using gravity because it feels very free and natural. Also great distance control 👍 I always try to learn, so what you think about more connected chipping style? You use more body rotation and pivot. Ball in midle off stance. Hands go more round and ends closer to your left pocket.
Hi Jukka! I am not a fan of any technique that requires manipulation unless it is for surgeons, dentists, artists or anything like that. Good for making sushi but not very good for delivering golf shots! 😝
@@golflessons I like sushi 😋 but i don't like dentist 😬 I understand manipulation with hands but this is just body rotational turn with very passive hands. More around you without heave. Well you probably already know what i mean...
@@jukkakymalainen well, if you look at the hammer drill, or the kettle bell drill, you could see that there is no possibility to use anything else but momentum right? If the arms are moving around with the hammer drill, you could see that this could not work very well...
@@golflessons I understand excatly what you mean. I have made Finish video with same subject with kettlebell. I want people here in Finland also here about you. Offcource your video is much better 👌🙂 However in this "connected" chipping you are using more body rotational momentum 🔄 around you and not falling momentum 🔛 to target. You defenetly don't want to do that rotational with sledge hammer 🤕😂 Thank you very much for taking time to answer ❤
Wow I've been having chipping/pitching meltdowns for literally the last four months. Tried hinge and hold, chippers, whatever. I will work on this method exclusively as it actually makes sense and is more in synch with my normal swing.
@@golflessons I can attest to that. Been working this steadily, finally got out on the course yesterday and was close to rock solid chipping and pitching (I fluffed one pitch), chips were spot on. Shot my best round ever. Thank you again 😊😊😊
Most teachers want you to use the bounce of the club by keeping the shaft vertical. Why are you advising so much shaft lean. Doesn’t that promote digging into the turf. Thanks, Paul in Dallas where it’s only 99 degrees
Hmmm; the video was jot clear enough on the fact that the hands are ahead of all tools created by humans for humans? Whether you fish, play tennis or baseball, the hands come through first…same for chipping.
Hi Shawn, Sav, Mu, sorry if I misspelled your names. My difficulty with chipping started as I remember came about 4 years ago. I had switched my irons from steel shafted to graphite [lighter weight]' and I did great without exception from 5 iron to wedge. However, when it came to chipping.... my hands took over and I stabbed at the ball. [with the graphite shafted clubs] Needless to say, my chipping became my Achilles heel........ I'm guessing that, because of the lighter weight of the whole club, I tended to manipulate the clubhead, rather than let the mass of club "carry" on. I wonder if other people have had this happen to them. I have solved this for me by going "back" to my old sand and lob wedge, steel shafted. I take 3-4-5 practice swings with my old steel shafted clubs, small swings to feel the weight of the club head, and then let it go through the ball...So... I have graphite shafted irons 6-gw, and steel shafted sw and lw. I wonder if other golfers have had this dilemma.....Thanks......
The thing is, you want to use the weight of the ARMS AND CLUB as a complete unit. If you swing without a club, you should feel the weight of just the arms from the shoulders down and use that weight to cut through the stem of the dandelion; graphite or not... 😀👍
The short downhill chip from above the pin onto a fast green is my problem. I use your technique (similar to Pelz's technique) with some success (stopping the ball within 3-5 feet of the pin) on long chips, uphill chips, and level chips of 30 feet or so. But when I am say 8-10 feet off the green chipping downhill to a pin about 25 feet away I feel I can't use the gravity and body turn techniques shown here because the ball will simply roll off the front of the green even when I use my 60 degree wedge. Two other conditions that add to the anxiety are a downhill chipping lie above the pin and then a thin downhill lie. For these situations, I stand close to the ball with the heel of my 55 degree or 60 degree wedge off the ground, the ball an inch or two behind the middle of my stance, and try to use a short pendulum putting stroke to strike the ball off the toe of the club and land it jsut on the green Sometimes it works off a good lie but not so well if the ball is down in the grass or on hardpan.. Any suggestions for this type of situation? I appreciate your instruction. Thanks, Chris
YES!!! YOU WANT TO USE THE PUTTER AND HAVE THE GRASS SLOW THE BALL ONTO THE GREEN and then it can trickle slowly into the hole. Do this anytime it is downhill to the green and downhill again to the hole with mo levelling out.
Is the planting of the front foot really about moving the body out of the way, or is it more about creating a whip action (albeit a rotational whip) to sling something? I think your body understands and uses rotational whip instinctively. Whipping works. Kids figure this out through untrained discovery. They throw rocks and balls and organically discover what generates power. Getting the body out of the way is incidental to the purpose, creating whip speed/power.
Exactly!!! The planting of the lead heel is a completely instinctive action the brain needs to use to deliver an action to the target (if the ball is the target, then it is a NO GO!!!) See our “throw the club shawn clement” and “throw the club straight shawn clement”
An area of my game I’ve continually struggled with(consistency). Thanks for presenting this in an easy to understand basis...I’ve already started wearing out the carpet in my basement practicing it...lol. Hopefully I can ingrain this over the Winter! Thanks Shawn! On a side note, is Mu wearing one of True Linkswear’s newer offerings? I own many of their shoes and I thought I would point it out! All my best🏌️♂️🏌️♀️⛳️😎
Use goldie locks and see for yourself! Play it way too far back, then too far forward and then just right; the bottom line is NO MANIPULATION REQUIRED-JUST GRAVITY!
The thing that bothers me with these videos is the majority of people are right-handed golfers and both of the students are left-handed golfers... I have to concentrate to watch these videos.
WE HAVE SO MANY RIGHT HANDED VIDEOS THOUGH!!! Just search “chipping shawn clement” and you will see the best content and most consistent content in all our chipping videos!👍👌💪😎
Ok, time for a makeover! Go see my “grass whip training shawn clement” video and get really good at whipping through grass; it will take you a week or 2 at the most. Then plug in the task to your golf shots and combine with “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” video and enjoy some quality golf shots. Next, you will eventually want to join our premium channel and get with all our task videos like the “top 3 tasks” and the “task 2.0” and the “task update” videos
For me, with proper task and distance to ball, all shots seem to start from the ground up. That seems to help me focus better on direction and momentum to a target. I have used this technique and performed better chips this year in my game. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
I always chip with my trail knee, in other words when I hit the ball my trail knee is parallel to the ball. I always pick a landing spot depending on how high or low I’m hitting it and how soft the greens are. But the most important thing for me is to assess the lie before deciding which shot to play. And trust me winter lies in Ireland are many and varied. Love the video
@@laycock1987 I feel like my trail knee is parallel to the ball at the point of impact. It helps me rotate through the shot. If I don't do it, I tend to hit fat chips.
I wonder how the arms crashing into the sides and deflecting the clubs direction relates to putting where I supposed we must keep the body more ridged??
The body should never be instructed for anything; especially not to be still or rigid. What the brain needs is a task and you really need to see my videos on putting! Search “putting shawn clement” and dive in!
Chipping/pitching is a weak part of my game but as with everything youtube the more research I do the more my brain is scrambled. 8 of 10 say to never play the ball back and push the hands forwards as this exposes the sharp leading edge and anything other than a precise strike will result in a chilli dip, here you say to do just that, confused.
Just open the face of the club!! it takes the leading edge off the ground and with high lofted clubs, the ball will NOT go off line!! follow this video to the letter!! practice with momentum!
Delofting the club doesn’t make any sense to me! Playing ball in the middle of stance and choking up on the club makes better contact, still low point of swing!

The blur seems to be cutting grass not exactly at the same spot every time inspite of using legs and weight of arm club unit. Even the fairways/grass are not friendly. Very very short grass on soft/hard surface.
Use blur of club to stabilize and hit all your chips thin! THIN TO WIN!😀👍
Like you stuff
I like that you like our stuff! 😀👍💪👌
Interesting to see yous till teaching the hands forward back if stance chip Shaun. Seen lots of instructors saying that’s old school now and risks the odd dig behind ball. They talk about ball slightly forward now and hands neutral to use the bounce. They say this new way means even a hit behind ball strikes it due to the bounce and more open face. What are your thoughts on this. I’m torn on which one suits me. Thanks
Don’t listen to them!!!!! What is the purpose of the chip???? To cut through the stem of the dandelion with the weight (momentum) of the arm-club unit and NOT to hit the ball!!!! This is why they keep chasing their tails with technique because they don’t have the proper task and purpose to begin with!!! Please, please see my chipping video on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com and any of my chipping videos on youtube like “chip yips shawn clement” and “chip shanks shawn clement” and “sternal notch chipping shawn clement”
Shawn Clement’s Wisdom In Golf Lessons .
hello, love your video. for chipping do you use same strong grip and closed head with advance on the shot or neutral grip in these case?
No, you want to use a slightly open face and you can go either neutral or strong grip; your choice; it is the slightly open face that matters.
@@golflessons ok so the strong grip with advance and tilting the shaft to the front hip to square the head can be use from driver to wedge but for chipping it is an other approch right?
@@stephanetzicuris3376 correct
Dn @@golflessons it case
Hi Shawn, Sav, and Mu, thanks so much. I love watching you guys. What about club face? Square, open, use the bounce? Is there another video that addresses this?
Slightly open for stock chip.
WONDERFUL instruction! However, I surprised you didn't mention anything about the sole of the club position moving through the grass and at ball contact.
In other chipping videos a lot! 😀😝👍
Thanks for the video! Been struggling for some time with my chipping. Seems like the majority of chipping videos out there that are adamant about NOT wanting your hands forward and the ball back in your stance. Needless to say, I am watching your video today because after watching them all, I am still struggling. Would love to hear your thoughts as to why your setup works so well and theirs does not. Thanks!
Man, every instrument apart from a push broom was designed for the hands to come through first, from a baseball bat, to tennis racquet to fishing pole to hockey stick to Jai Alai basket…🙄My stuff is based on actual science and not assumptions based on opinion. In our premium channel, we have a series called the “kinetic chain series” that explains this in detail from the chip to the pitch to the bunker shot and flop shot to irons and woods. HUGE!!
@@golflessons Thanks Shawn!
Hey coach - how do you do the flop shot with this chipping method where the club is really behind and closing a bit the club?
You have open faced chips and then you have flop shots; set up on flops is very different! See “flop lob cut shot shawn clement”
Nice
I like using gravity because it feels very free and natural. Also great distance control 👍 I always try to learn, so what you think about more connected chipping style? You use more body rotation and pivot. Ball in midle off stance. Hands go more round and ends closer to your left pocket.
Hi Jukka! I am not a fan of any technique that requires manipulation unless it is for surgeons, dentists, artists or anything like that. Good for making sushi but not very good for delivering golf shots! 😝
@@golflessons I like sushi 😋 but i don't like dentist 😬 I understand manipulation with hands but this is just body rotational turn with very passive hands. More around you without heave. Well you probably already know what i mean...
@@jukkakymalainen well, if you look at the hammer drill, or the kettle bell drill, you could see that there is no possibility to use anything else but momentum right? If the arms are moving around with the hammer drill, you could see that this could not work very well...
@@golflessons I understand excatly what you mean. I have made Finish video with same subject with kettlebell. I want people here in Finland also here about you. Offcource your video is much better 👌🙂 However in this "connected" chipping you are using more body rotational momentum 🔄 around you and not falling momentum 🔛 to target. You defenetly don't want to do that rotational with sledge hammer 🤕😂 Thank you very much for taking time to answer ❤
@@golflessons .
Wow I've been having chipping/pitching meltdowns for literally the last four months. Tried hinge and hold, chippers, whatever. I will work on this method exclusively as it actually makes sense and is more in synch with my normal swing.
EXACTLY!!! You will be delighted with the results as your machine was made to do this! 😀👍
@@golflessons I can attest to that. Been working this steadily, finally got out on the course yesterday and was close to rock solid chipping and pitching (I fluffed one pitch), chips were spot on. Shot my best round ever. Thank you again 😊😊😊
@@beimsteiner yeah man! 💪😀👍
Most teachers want you to use the bounce of the club by keeping the shaft vertical. Why are you advising so much shaft lean. Doesn’t that promote digging into the turf. Thanks, Paul in Dallas where it’s only 99 degrees
Hmmm; the video was jot clear enough on the fact that the hands are ahead of all tools created by humans for humans? Whether you fish, play tennis or baseball, the hands come through first…same for chipping.
Come visit TN :) we have some decent winter golf
Hi Shawn, Sav, Mu, sorry if I misspelled your names. My difficulty with chipping started as I remember came about 4 years ago. I had switched my irons from steel shafted to graphite [lighter weight]' and I did great without exception from 5 iron to wedge. However, when it came to chipping.... my hands took over and I stabbed at the ball. [with the graphite shafted clubs] Needless to say, my chipping became my Achilles heel........
I'm guessing that, because of the lighter weight of the whole club, I tended to manipulate the clubhead, rather than let the mass of club "carry" on. I wonder if other people have had this happen to them. I have solved this for me by going "back" to my old sand and lob wedge, steel shafted. I take 3-4-5 practice swings with my old steel shafted clubs, small swings to feel the weight of the club head, and then let it go through the ball...So... I have graphite shafted irons 6-gw, and steel shafted sw and lw. I wonder if other golfers have had this dilemma.....Thanks......
The thing is, you want to use the weight of the ARMS AND CLUB as a complete unit. If you swing without a club, you should feel the weight of just the arms from the shoulders down and use that weight to cut through the stem of the dandelion; graphite or not... 😀👍
All,this seems quite similar to what Dr Kwon teaches. Good stuff
LOL! He is about 10 years behind me! 😝😝
What club are you using?
Typically Lob wedge and Sand wedge…
The short downhill chip from above the pin onto a fast green is my problem. I use your technique (similar to Pelz's technique) with some success (stopping the ball within 3-5 feet of the pin) on long chips, uphill chips, and level chips of 30 feet or so. But when I am say 8-10 feet off the green chipping downhill to a pin about 25 feet away I feel I can't use the gravity and body turn techniques shown here because the ball will simply roll off the front of the green even when I use my 60 degree wedge. Two other conditions that add to the anxiety are a downhill chipping lie above the pin and then a thin downhill lie. For these situations, I stand close to the ball with the heel of my 55 degree or 60 degree wedge off the ground, the ball an inch or two behind the middle of my stance, and try to use a short pendulum putting stroke to strike the ball off the toe of the club and land it jsut on the green Sometimes it works off a good lie but not so well if the ball is down in the grass or on hardpan..
Any suggestions for this type of situation?
I appreciate your instruction.
Thanks,
Chris
YES!!! YOU WANT TO USE THE PUTTER AND HAVE THE GRASS SLOW THE BALL ONTO THE GREEN and then it can trickle slowly into the hole. Do this anytime it is downhill to the green and downhill again to the hole with mo levelling out.
What about the feet position so outside of the Ball position?
Is the planting of the front foot really about moving the body out of the way, or is it more about creating a whip action (albeit a rotational whip) to sling something? I think your body understands and uses rotational whip instinctively. Whipping works. Kids figure this out through untrained discovery. They throw rocks and balls and organically discover what generates power. Getting the body out of the way is incidental to the purpose, creating whip speed/power.
Exactly!!! The planting of the lead heel is a completely instinctive action the brain needs to use to deliver an action to the target (if the ball is the target, then it is a NO GO!!!) See our “throw the club shawn clement” and “throw the club straight shawn clement”
An area of my game I’ve continually struggled with(consistency). Thanks for presenting this in an easy to understand basis...I’ve already started wearing out the carpet in my basement practicing it...lol. Hopefully I can ingrain this over the Winter! Thanks Shawn!
On a side note, is Mu wearing one of True Linkswear’s newer offerings? I own many of their shoes and I thought I would point it out! All my best🏌️♂️🏌️♀️⛳️😎
Yes! The new True Shoes look so badass! 👍😀❤️🤛🏾
“I got the nerves figured out.”
Shawn do you still chip or pitch with the strong grip?
You bet! Just a more open face for chip, and flop and bunker shots.
Hi Shawn long time watcher love your lessons. I was wondering what hitting mat you use?
😁
You will see them on my website; I have been using “REAL FEEL GOLF MATS” for over a decade now! See the pro-shop page at www.wisdomingolf.com
I bought from them last year. Great product!
I have to remind myself not to tilt to the right as a right-handed hitter. Is it normal to play the ball that far back?
Use goldie locks and see for yourself! Play it way too far back, then too far forward and then just right; the bottom line is NO MANIPULATION REQUIRED-JUST GRAVITY!
That's where I have trouble chipping, I notice your feet are in front off the ball not center of the ball.
The thing that bothers me with these videos is the majority of people are right-handed golfers and both of the students are left-handed golfers... I have to concentrate to watch these videos.
WE HAVE SO MANY RIGHT HANDED VIDEOS THOUGH!!! Just search “chipping shawn clement” and you will see the best content and most consistent content in all our chipping videos!👍👌💪😎
I struggle with chipping the same reason I struggle with every other club. I just suck at golf.
Ok, time for a makeover! Go see my “grass whip training shawn clement” video and get really good at whipping through grass; it will take you a week or 2 at the most. Then plug in the task to your golf shots and combine with “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” video and enjoy some quality golf shots. Next, you will eventually want to join our premium channel and get with all our task videos like the “top 3 tasks” and the “task 2.0” and the “task update” videos
I'll try some of these drills. The primary issue is I only play a rd about once every 5-10 years or so
For me, with proper task and distance to ball, all shots seem to start from the ground up. That seems to help me focus better on direction and momentum to a target. I have used this technique and performed better chips this year in my game. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always chip with my trail knee, in other words when I hit the ball my trail knee is parallel to the ball. I always pick a landing spot depending on how high or low I’m hitting it and how soft the greens are. But the most important thing for me is to assess the lie before deciding which shot to play. And trust me winter lies in Ireland are many and varied. Love the video
Can you explain this more? Do you mean you just think about the movement coming from the knees rather than the shoulders/arms?
@@laycock1987 I feel like my trail knee is parallel to the ball at the point of impact. It helps me rotate through the shot. If I don't do it, I tend to hit fat chips.
👌
I wonder how the arms crashing into the sides and deflecting the clubs direction relates to putting where I supposed we must keep the body more ridged??
"Also did I understand you correctly....does keeping the back foot down longer help open up the hips on the downswing??
The body should never be instructed for anything; especially not to be still or rigid. What the brain needs is a task and you really need to see my videos on putting! Search “putting shawn clement” and dive in!
Putting is just reacting athletically to a very small target then blaming something or someone else for missing.
Chipping/pitching is a weak part of my game but as with everything youtube the more research I do the more my brain is scrambled. 8 of 10 say to never play the ball back and push the hands forwards as this exposes the sharp leading edge and anything other than a precise strike will result in a chilli dip, here you say to do just that, confused.
Just open the face of the club!! it takes the leading edge off the ground and with high lofted clubs, the ball will NOT go off line!! follow this video to the letter!! practice with momentum!
Delofting the club doesn’t make any sense to me! Playing ball in the middle of stance and choking up on the club makes better contact, still low point of swing!
If your stance is wide enough, yes!
Who died??
Just kidding, great lesson (as always).
Thanks!
Thanks! 👍🫶
