- WRIST or NO WRIST?
Should you use your wrists for chipping and pitching?
This question is one of the most common ones I hear when discussing the short game and shots around the green with players looking to improve their short game.
The short answer is YES... but HOW YOU USE YOUR WRISTS depends on a few factors. It depends on what type of shot you are trying to hit. What the lie is like. Do you want the ball to fly high or low? Do you want it to stop close to where it lands, or release once it hits the ground. You also need to factor in what the lie is like and what the ground conditions are like, as well as any slope that you are playing from, or need to land your ball on.
The wrists are involved in EVERY single shot you hit in golf - even putting. Eliminating them completely is neither possible, nor desirable. Managing the wrists is the key to having success with your chipping and pitching around the green, and understand exactly HOW TO MOVE THE WRISTS will free you from the shackles of your one-way thinking when it comes to these shots and unlock an entire new world of possibilities when it comes to your shot selection around the green.
In this video, I will use the HACKMOTION wrist sensor to explain and demonstrate how the wrists move for 2 different types of shots around the green - LOW and HIGH - along with the set-up required for each shot.

Wow, wow, wow, I really like that detail on opening/closing the club face and marrying that with raising/lowering the club. Opening the club face and lowering the club for a high chip makes so much more sense now. Awesome!
💥
Why has this man less than 25k subscribers unbelievable, he is without doubt one of the most thorough instructors out there.
Totally agree, one of the best
He is unbelievably great at explaining his tips!
You are probably the best coach /guide, addressing the real concerns of amateur golfers with solutions based on sound fundamentals! So beautifully you describe here crucial shots around the green with simple adjustments of grip and wrist. Highly appreciate, Rob
I have played this game for 65 years and have a 2 handicap. I have never been enlightened regarding the change of aim based on hand positions, nor have I seen such a clear explanation of how wrist hinge affects trajectory. Very informative! Off to the chipping green soon. Thanks much!
Alignment methodology was definitely a must to improve pitch and chip. Thank you for the awareness.
I just found you! I’ve paid many dollars with lessons and have learn more from you by watching a few of your videos.
I understand so much more with your insight instructions!
I don’t understand why you don’t have a million hits!
Please don’t go away!
Thank you so much!
Such educational seminar…..Sir You are the only one with so much important details s s s….on closed shots to the green chipping technique.
Appreciated 🎉

Excellent detail, Rob. I’ve been playing for more than 35 years and learned a lot through this instructional video!
New concepts. You speak clearly and simply which helps visualize your ideas. Kudos!
Good information/advice on aiming the club head
on short runners and higher shots - information that golf coaches rarely highlight! Helpful. Thanks.
While I've heard some of the points you make before from others, I've never seen/heard all these different aspects put together like this - so useful! Thanks very much!
Excellent Rob! I personally never watched or seen any Pro going through such details on Chipping with so much clarity in addressing some of the most fundamental mistakes we continue make around the green! Truly awesome!
Thanks for another great video. Quite a lot of details in there. I used to play with a weak grip, and my short game was relatively better than my long game. Then I changed to a much strong grip to improve my long game, and found the short game deteriorated. Now I have leaned that I could continue w stronger grip for my long game; and go back w weaker grip for my short game.
Thanks Rob ...always wondered why my ball direction was all over the place. Your club face demo clearly showed the changes in club face even when standing further from the ball and changing hand positions. Surely one of the easier ways to reduce your scores. I love your in depth explanations.
Hi Rob- Bringing back my days of yesteryear. At age 87 I need a lot of this and you always deliver in spades. Thanks for continuing good stuff. Stay well-Russ
Wow, Rob! Great insight into the short game! Thanks so much! I've always used a strong grip for every shot. Your method makes sense to change the grip in order to hit the ball higher. I've always had better luck using my wrists in every shot. Poor contact, especially with thin lies & deep grass if you take the wrists out of the shot. What about short bunker shots??? Weak grip there, also? Thanks for all your help!

Yes I did learn something. In 2008 I took an action to improve my short game and spent months at a short game facility 3x to 4x per week. You crystallized what I learned about my swing and added a few angles (pun intended) that I still do need to learn before I go out this spring. Thank you!
Yes I’ve used a magnet rod. Helps a lot. Wrist usage was prohibited in the lessons I received. I will give it a try. This video clarified what I was feeling as far as the wrist usage. Thanks.
Great stuff. Points about adjusting the club face for the two different shots are great. Been hitting my short pitches left for a long time. Would love to know more about adjusting the swing for rough versus fairway chipping. Would also like to know more about how to hit different types of chips from perhaps 25-40 yards off the green.
Short game has always been one of my best areas due to a Dave Pelz short game school some 25 years ago. But your explanation with the face tool is brilliant! Now it just seems dumb that i didnt figure that out prior. Thanks for all the great advice, i watch your videos for hours.
Love the video Rob. The technical explanation is easy and work. I do and apply the same technique almos since i started to play more than 30 years ago. With this technique anyone will became a master around the green…
Great one Rob! I appreciate the short game help.
Good instruction! I will definitely try these tips soon!
Excellent detail,can’t wait to try out the various options on the practice ground.
This is spectacular content! Thanks again Rob!
Great video Rob! I have one of those magnetic tools and now I see how more useful it can be in chipping. Also, I like your recommendation for the chipping grip which I will definitely try! I never really thought about wrist hinge up and down for high shots and low running shots. On those chip shots close to the green, I will use a 5 fairway wood or 5-7 iron and stroke as a putter. All others, I use something similiar to your method. This video was packed with great information Rob that is very helpful to me. I am going to archive this video for future referral. Thank You! Keep up the good work! Always enjoy your videos!!
Very useful information, especially the change in grip strength for use in the short game. Never really thought about it from that perspective. Thanks.
Very timely video Rob. I have been practising chipping lately because when golf season starts it is chipping that I will struggle with most. I had changed to a weaker grip as per your former videos on chipping. I have been practising with a 52, but now I will see if I can hit them lower. Chipping seems to be THE most complicated thing to do well in golf, given the variety of shots needed & the different lies one encounters.
Superb explanation so that everything makes such perfect sense.
Have really really weakened my grip when chipping .. and have listened and watched your videos since then I’ve gone from a poor to a good chipper and pitcher ..you and all the S&T instructors are brilliant
Really appreciate the detailed analytics regarding wrist action and how the ball reacts off the face of the club. Factual information the way you provide it is way more helpful because what we “feel” is often misleading, and what we think can be plain wrong. Thank you for the thoughtful analysis which will be a huge help to many of us!
Excellent stuff yet again Rob! Thanks.
This chipping/pitching video is excellent, Rob gives clear explanations of the process and not a one size fits all recipe instructions from so many online golf coaches. Big thumbs up !!!
Never saw the metal rod on the club face in regards to chipping. Very impressive and explained a lot about my own chipping direction wows. Great chipping instructional video. will be watching this video before every chipping practice session.
Hi Rob I'm 70 and been learning for 3 years. This lesson worked today when I applied your method. I have tried many other ways of chipping and pitching and this is the best as it works every time. Thank you Rob
i had not seen the aiming rod in regard to the chipping or pitch shot. great description as always. i liked the wrist variations. thanks
It is a great video it will take watching many times for me to get the gist of everything mentioned
Thanks Rod
Thank you! This was a great short game lesson!!!
Great stuff! My approach to chipping is I try to use no wrist at the beginning of the season and adjust by using different clubs, even using something like a 7 or 6 iron even to chip and just use more like a putting stroke…as my temp and timing gets better as the season progresses, I’ll work on doing multiple types of shots with my wedges. I carry a 48, 52, 56, and 60…I prefer to chip with my 52 most of the time.
Phenomenal explanation Rob!! Thank you for your continuous outstanding work on your channel. This is great
Rob, I get so much out of all your videos and you do a awesome job of explaining everything
Always great content, but this one strikes me particularly hard. I have been honing my game and really focused on 130 yds in last year and I dropped from a 13 to an 8.6. One of my next areas of focus is the chipping area. I always fooled myself and frankly put more pressure on my iron play to not miss greens due to a bad chipping and pitching motion/results. Some people are good at it naturally and I am not one of them. I am here to say you can only avoid this so long then you have to put the work in on the chipping/pitching to save par or birdie par 5’s when you don’t hit the green in 2. Thank you so much for the content and taking the time to focus on key subjects and finding illustrative ways to prove physically what your try to feel. This type of content works for visual and feel players. Awesome!
Great points and excellent visuals! You make it easy to take these tips to the course.
Great instructions!! I really like the 2 shots, down the line and facing you!! It helps tremendously!! I also like the quick summary at the end. Will save videos and practice. My new top choice golf instructor. Thanks
Thanks for the shortgame instruction Rob. The demo with the stick is indeed novel to me. And let's face it, though you gotta get round the green, solid chipping, pitching, sand, and putting are essential to satisfaction and can provide it even if there are errors in long shots.
This technique helped me tremendously. Grip, position of hands and arms. Ive seen a lot of improcement in my chip shots and seeing more accuracy in getting the shot on the green and closer to my target. Next up, working on the putting Great tips. Practiced a the last couple of days andsee the improvement of striking the ball and placing on the green.
Nah this guy is legit. This + the video on the wrist hinge especially puts this guy top 3 if not number 1 for TH-cam instruction. Russell Heritage is great too but these two videos are elite. It amazes me how such an important element of the swing, the wrists, are kind of glanced over and pros almost assume you know what correct hinge is when MOST, almost all, people do it completely wrong - good players included. So glad I found this channel
Can’t wait to see this vid..Thanks Rob
Have been arms only on short pitches but really learned from your video how adding the wrists will help when in the rough around the green, thanks for this tip
Appreciate the detail also on opening /closing and lowering the club for high chip and getting through the rough..
All new to me. Different than how I have instructed. Clear presentation, video and graphics are very helpful.
First class information.
Very revealing the concept of where the loft is pointing with the face rod.
I find I’m always caught out on ball above feet shots firing off to the left… again, no wonder, the loft is pointing way left.
It’s a shame the face rods don’t work on hybrids, fairway and drivers .
Yes I think this lesson is very important to are golf game - great lesson- plus the visual of the golf club training Aid way awesome - looking forward too your next video- keith thank you
Excellent video. Very helpful.
Love the idea of having a weaker grip. I am a strong grip player and naturally use that in my chipping. Wil be trying the weaker grip in my next practice session. Thanks 👍🏾
So for low, bump and run stand closer to the ball w shaft more upright. For higher land soft shots hands low stand farther away from the ball and slight opening of the club face. The challenge is remembering this in the heat of battle and various lies can alter these. Love your instruction and am sure I have company. Thank you Rob.
Thank you Rob this is so helpful. My confidence has gone possibly too much on the long game and know have no ideas until now. Of course watched many videos on the short game, a lot with slightly different ways to the same thing. Now I have full instruction how to grip and two ways to play the shot. Again thank you as I feel this will be all I need to take me forward and most importantly Build my confidence back.
@@golftecasia Rob could you give me some practical (very rough) distances you would use each of these methods for. This would be very helpful for a higher handicapper such as myself.
@@golftecasia Thanks Rob tried it out yesterday on the range and Very pleased with the results at 20m approx and consistent if I can replicate half of that on the course would be a happy chap
This is one of the best short game videos I've ever seen excellent video thanks for all the free info
Great video I chip well but was interested about making my 58 go low and run out thanks gonna try it out
Excellent video! And no, I have never seen that exercise with the magnetic aid. Very interesting! Thank you!😊
VERY VERY INTERESTIING YOUVE GOT SOMETHING NEVER SEEN BEFORE, GREAT JOB ROB, IMPORTENT FOR ME TO USE MY WRISTS THANKS
I used your advice to use a weaker grip while chipping today, and the results were very good. Tomorrow I will try to put your other tips to work. Thanks.
Rob, it works just like you said. Thank You!!!
Thanks for the great advice
Interesting demo of the club face direction with the magnetic stick! The world would have better golfer’s if we amateurs paid close attention and practiced these short shots. But very few of us would spend time trying to get the ball to just 5 yards chip and run and lofting over a bunker ….sad but true! Thank you Rob for showing us something new and insightful!
Rob, excellent video. Would be interesting to see your analysis of a pitching method where the hands, arms and wrists rotate the clubhead in the backswing. This method is claimed to keep both the loft and the bounce on the club so useful for bunker shots as well. It works for me and eliminates any errors with trying to cock the wrists straight up and down. Appreciate your thoughts and advice.
Thanks, Great Video,very helpful
💪🏽👍
I've been struggling horribly with my chipping, going back and forth between using wrist hing and no wrist. So bad that I'm putting from 20 ft from the green and losing my desire to play this wonderful game. I play with a strong grip and I've never heard it explained like this. I'm excited to get out and work on using both methods with the weaker grip depending on the shot. Hopefully this will help with the right hand flinch I've developed and build some confidence.
The long game is fun and more appealing to learn , but nothing will improve our games more then improving the short game loved the video and the information. When I first started was chopping down with almost no follow through and found success but we all know that you need multiple shots around the green. Thanks for the help
for years I have been told to use in chipping the least amount possible of wrists action so my swing was more shallow and not steep.Result was thin shots and fat shots.Now I use the hinge and hold method and my chipping has enormously improved.Yes, do hinge your wrists if you want to chip well
Awesome free lesson that’s the one I’m working on it. Thanks I’m in good fundamentals ⛳️👍✌️
Thanks.wonderful info
This is extremely helpful, thank you!!!✌️
Excellent explanation of how raising and lowering of hands affect the direction of clubface and why you cannot completely eliminate the use of wrist on pitch shot! Thank You Bob!
Thanks a lot for showing the invisible move of our swings. Always precise and interesting. 🙏👍
Excellent tip thank you ❤
Super Videos, explaining aiming with The magnetic rod. Thats hinge&hold squared. Thanks for your efforts.
this is the most detailed video and best I have seen after hours of youtube surfing. New subscriber and saving for practice and repeating
Welcome aboard! Thanks for subscribing!
I Rob. This was a great video. I found this very helpful. I did struggle with ball position with my weight forward. Any advice to improve this
Great video, thank you!
That magnetic rod has me thinking about when the ball is below or above ones feet. I'm guessing that it why it is hard for me to hit a straight ball in those circumstances. I will think about what the club face is doing from now on when I'm playing those shots. Thanks Rob
Like your chipping video, put a putting green in backyard but can try these shots out there to figure it out, thanks for the tips.
Rob you have taught me so much. Many questions have been answered with your TH-cam videos. My question is, does lifting or lowering the club work the same way with the driver? Thank you.
Wow! This was eye opening!
You have transformed my chipping and pitching. The two changes are ; turning shoulders to about 45 deg open puts and keeps weight on left side, no more thin shots. Using the knees to initiate swing and straight arms for high shot. Not exactly per this excellent video but it works for me.
I like this a lot Rob!
My problem is: «quiet hands /low shot» makes me a bit «stiffer» leading to a few mishits. Let the weight of the Club move the wrists is more natural (for me) and instinktive If you like.
Awesome!!! Tnx😊
The use of the lie angle magnet really opened my eyes. So did the information that even “no wrist” chips actually do have some wrist action. Lots of food for thought. Thank you very much.
Great video Rob! What was the rod called that you attached to the club face to show loft changes and where can I get one.
very very helpful
Really good lesson thanks Rob
using my standard grip and hand in body driven swing explains why my short shots show 18 degrees in to out with 18 degree closed face. It was going straight so I did not know I had a problem. Other instruction told me to open the face and stand closer to the ball. Those just went right.
Great lesson
I didn’t learn anything today but i really enjoyed this video. It was the first time I’ve seen loft, shaft raise/lower, target line and wrists all in one chipping video. IMO, the only piece missing was talking about the bounce that was added when adding loft or removed when delofting, and how that leading edge interacts with the ground.
@@golftecasia Well, I’ve seen it before, but never with all of those elements in the same vid. I think the ultimate chipping video would be THIS one, plus Bounce, thickness of lies (hard pan, thick rough, obv done outside), ball above/below your feet (with the magnetic stick again), leaning left/right which adds/reduces loft. All that in under an hour? Masterclass may be in play
Michelson’s 3 minute chipping 101 was pretty good, as well as his long short game vid, but neither of those are as efficient and thorough as what this could be
Great video with a lot of great information. A lot of your viewers including myself would like to know more about not hitting fat shots. Keeping your weight forward, keeping your shoulders level or even tilting to the left, Not tilting to the right. I think that if you went through this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
absolutely amazing lesson.
THE BEST EXPLANATION re short game face control. Thank you Rob :)
Well said great teacher
Years ago I had a pretty good short game and your video reminded me that I used a weak grip and I don't now. I'll practice this tomorrow.
Another great video!
