Chip Shot or Pitch Shot? (Made Simple)

Chipping and pitching are two completely different shots, and many amateurs get themselves into trouble not being clear about the differences in how to play them.
So what are the differences between a chip shot and a pitch shot? PGA Professional Jack Backhouse clears things up for us.

finally clarity in definition and techinque. For too long both were methods are called a chip, high and low.
Thanks

The difference between the two shots was well explained and executed. Well done Hannah.

[@duncanajpv8]

Well done Jack 👍

[@thetowndrunk988]

They’re the same shot for me. I can equally blade both of em over the green

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Sound advice, and easy to understand.

[@scotthucks7966]

Great lesson! Thank you!

[@chrispalm5455]

I love my 9 iron for chipping. Uphill I'll even use the 8. Us high handicappers have got to put the lofted clubs away. Too many wasted strokes!

[@stevensmale5097]

Just use hybrid with putter swing. Less hassle and more consistent..

[@jrbackhouse86]

Great vid thanks for the tips!

[@allahalibaba9063]

Pitch or Chip.. Lke them both depends on the distance over the grass to the green...In the air mostly straight, hit the ground take your chances on what direction it will take once it hits the ground....Thanks....

[@markdunn8038]

Could you please a session how to play a shot when a ball is on a bare lie/sitting down in the grass

[@davidcooper3317]

Its a putt with my chip R without the nerve endings getting the better of me

[@bigjock85]

I always thought the chip was the loftier shot and the pitch was more of the bump and run 🙈

[@petersmith9470]

Lift the heel of club of the ground and stand nearer the ball and use the putting stroke, front foot for roll, back foot for height with higher lofts.
Try your fairway woods and hybrids around the fringe, ball will pop up and roll out easier if you're not confident with the wedges

[@marc6652]

Why not chipping like this when the green is at the same level as the fairway.
But I won't use this technic if the green is higher.

[@eliasadam2345]

LMAO @ at the chip around 6:35 meant to show you why you wouldn't take that shot. That turned out to be a beautiful shot.

[@irongolffitness1716]

great video thank you!

Hi Hannah, I have followed your videos for some time now and know you are a great golfer in your own right. Since the name change of the channel, why are you being more of the interviewer amateur instead of being the teacher? Jack is a good teacher in his own right, but I know he is not teaching you anything you don't already know. I even watched your videos when getting club fitted and you have an amazing consistent swing. Just curious about the format change? Jeff

lovely day for it! Agree about the weird twinkly music though. Seemed very random.

[@jrbackhousegolf]

It has rained every time we have gone to do some instruction filming this year!

[@janetbarnett1986]

Please no music. For people who are auditory the only thing we hear is the music and not the words. Thank You!!

[@Play2Win1958]

Use a 8 iron for bump and runs and only carry a 60 for just bunker play so 8 iron around the greens ...

[@pete8890]

Great vid with good advice. The music in the background was rather irritating, in my opinion.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Working on that for future edits!

[@harrste11]

I just use my “PING ChipR”. It just works

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Let us know what you think!
