This is probably one of the best videos chipping, honestly. A very flexible way to approach chipping. Not a lot of videos cover every area of the chipping. You've highlighted the crucial and simple areas of chipping: STANCE, DISTANCE TO BALL, GRIP, SWING PLANE, SWING MOMETUM. Some videos are too lasered in single aspects of chipping. This is a solid overall wisdom of the chipping game!
Thanks for the kind words-appreciate it!
Eric - I just love the way you explain the details in your teaching! Thanks for your time. 😊🙏
Appreciate that :) Hope it helps!
Eric im almost in tears typing this. I watched your video three days ago. I've had the chipping yips for about 18 months. It has reduced me to a point I have actually considered quitting the game of golf. Like I said I watched your video and I took three things from it that I put into play straight away. #1. Grip down. Moving my grip down the shaft. #2 Wrist hinge. Don't be afraid of a little wrist hinge, but with that said don't be silly and over do it. Use feel!. #3 Swing plain. (and what was most influential for me). Straight back on the take away is ok. Outside is even better as it brings the bounce of the club into play. This changed everything for me as my inside bias take-away made my leading edge dig in which lead to chunks and/or bladed shots.l I have also used #4 that I introduced myself. Keep the head still through-out the entire shot. Hips should move but head still. I pitched and chipped the best I ever have. Thank you. Your simplistic approach to the wedge game is so beneficial to someone like me. Thank you mate. Will be watching all of your clips from here on
Love it, Scott! Im glad to hear that it helped and you're back moving in the right direction! Happy to have you here :)
I watched your video, after flagellating myself all summer for my terrible chip shots, and lo and behold, when I followed your instructions, PRESTO!, I was actually doing good chip shots. My golf mate is not pleased. :). He had an edge on me until I listened to you, and started doing what you said. Game on!
Lol love it, Max! Glad you are heading in the right direction!!
Why the heck hasn't anyone else managed to explain chipping in simple terms like this in the past. It makes sense and it isn't over-thought. I tried this and it works - particularly standing closer to the ball, shaft more upright and gripping down to compensate. You're some kind of magician Eric - thanks yet again.Keep 'em coming because my scores are going the right direction thanks to subscribing to your channel and committing to what you're teaching. Don't suppose we could convince you to move to Canada could we?
Haha thank you sir. I'm no magician, although I appreciate the kind words. Just trying to communicate some simple concepts to help everyone! Not sure I will be moving more north...but perhaps a visit for a golf school at some point!
Yes, simple is good. We golfers seem to have a tendency to make things more complicated than they need to be. If you do come north for a visit for a golf school I sure hope you let us know.
This is so helpful.Thanks, You're amazing!!
Your coaching style is like a breath of fresh air Eric. Another great video. Thanks, James.
Appreciate it, James!
Great stuff Eric, pleased to find your channel.
Thanks, Peter! Happy to have you here!
Eric, I've been playing for 30+ years and over the last five years my chipping game has gotten hideous. I have often felt like I have the 'chipping yips'. I've spent most of this season alternating between skulling and chunking my chip shots despite spending at least 30 minutes a week near a practice green trying different things to improve my chipping.
I watched your video last week before a short practice session and I liked the results I got right away. Today I finally had a chance to get back for a second practice session. I hit 30 chip shots (12 SW, 9 PW and 9 8-iron). I chipped three balls in (and left a fourth 3 inches from the hole). I haven't chipped a ball in the hole in years.
Thank you for your videos. They've helped me improve my game and I'm excited to get to the course again.
Love to heat that, Jeremy! Glad you re heading in the right direction my friend. Appreciate the kind words!
Another great video. What I love about your content is that you give both sides of the argument. For me, that's how I learn best.
Thanks, John.
Great job. Best I've seen on this topic so far - you covered all the key points and your pacing is excellent.
Appreciate it!
All I can say is, this is one "bad-ass" video. I bought into the principles discussed in this video and gave it try...
Guys and gals, I'm never buying out! All of it...It all worked! Just an awesome tutorial on chipping and pitching, Eric. THANK YOU!
My pleasure, my friend! Happy to hear that!
You are on a roll coach! Another great lesson with excellent tips. Thanks!
Thanks, Kall. Appreciate it man!
Best video I've seen on chipping around the green....makes good sense, can't wait to apply, simplify your focus
Thanks, Mario!
The toughest chips for most are the little nudgers from just off the green. So easy to decelerate and flick the wrists on those. Best answer is of course to keep the hands going through to the target negating the flick. Sometimes a little chop down on to the ball works well on such shots but there is an element of risk.
Yup! Really depends on lie too....if you don't feel comfortable with a short swing like that you can open face more so you can swing longer.
eric this is an easy to do and consistant chipping method and i use it. all your stuff is uncomplicated and easy to pull off. when i'm in need of some answers i always look you up, and i'm not blowing smoke. thnx, steve
Appreciate ya, Steve!
admire how you take into consideration for swings that don't really conform, if it work stay with-it some people can have different techniques that work .
For sure!
Very useful video! I struggled with my chipping and immediately after I started to chip according to some advises, I improved a lot. Thanks, Eric.
My pleasure, my friend!
Great video Eric! I was lucky enough to attend a short game clinic a few years back with a guy named Stan Utley and he had a very similar method to yours, except he taught us that taking it back 'slightly' inside and shut is actually a shot he plays to keep the ball low and running, but most of his chips are played with the club going back on plane(or slightly outside) with the ball well forward and shaft vertical to ensure the bounce is fully engaged, but yeah he only takes it back slightly inside and shut when he wants it to go low and run, he plays this from the same set up i mentioned earlier, ball forward, shaft vertical. Not to boast but I am one of the best chippers at my club all because of his teaching methods. I see a lot of his method in your videos also!
👊
Thank you!
Great video and awesome breakdown. I learned a lot in this short video. I cant wait to hit the practice green and see how much my game will improve this summer. Thank you.
Hope it serves you well, Willy!
Man, right on time. My short game has killed me in my first two rounds, especially chipping. Thanks for posting. I’m headed to my living room with a wedge right now 😂
:)
@@CogornoGolf Eric. I love your videos.. What software to you use to edit the videos.. Its great!
Really enjoyed your video. Fantastic explanation. Keep it on Eric!
Thanks, Fernando!
You need more subscribers, and more views. Your videos are the most informative and easy for me to understand. Thank you!
Appreciate it, Randy! Slowly but surely...
Brilliant, well thought out clear and to the point excellent instruction. The more chipping and pitching videos the better, thank you great work.
Thanks, Lloyd...appreciate it!
What a great video. The tip of standing closer to the ball felt awkward, BUT...used this tip on my round on Friday and had my best chipping round ever. Shot a 79 so now I know how to get the ball up and down better then ever before.
Excellent! Love to hear that, Richard! Good playing!
This is excellent advice. Not only do I value the content, but your format is concise which leads to easy memory recall. Thanks for this.
My pleasure...appreciate the kind words!
Best short-game video I've come across - thanks. Very pragmatic approach - I like the way you advocate trying different variants of what you're teaching - and inclusion of the importance of swing plane in chipping. In my experience this aspect is really a game-changer.
Appreciate it!
Great video-you get right to the point without endless talking. Can't wait to watch more!
Thanks, Kathy. Appreciate it!
Brilliant. Was a bit reluctant to change my technique as was working nicely and didn't want to screw it up. Practice range today so thought I would give it a go...fantastic. Very simple, easy to repeat and what a difference. Concerned about how close to the ball I needed to be but these chipping changes have made an instant and positive impact. Best teaching content on TH-cam at the moment. 👍🏼
Thanks, Bruce! Appreciate the kind words!
Eric you are so right..without chipping your game will fall apart..you want up and down to lower your score!
100%! BIG part of scoring well!
Incredible density of highest level info. Useful and simple. Just like it should be when a smart person explains complicated things. Appreciate.
My pleasure...appreciate ya
Very good and easy to understand. Just went and played 9 holes of practice. Got closer to the ball and more upright and it is the best I have chipped in a long time.
Love to hear it!
It's all about chipping!!! Thanks for spending so much time focusing this. I'm so lucky to be getting into golf now, with all of this information and YOU sharing so much. I'm getting so good, so fast! THANK YOU forever Eric!
👊Love to hear this, Jay!! Our pleasure!
Great video and exactly what I think I needed to see. I'm a decent chipper, used to be a good chipper, but needed a refresher course with some new ideas. Like the stopping a little short feel as I've struggled some with the back and thru same distance thing.
Appreciate ya
Your techniques for chipping and pitching are much simpler and more common sense than most I have viewed. Thanks!
Appreciate it, Donald! Thanks for watching my friend!
Great stuff, Eric. Thanks a ton - I can hardly wait to get out to the course to try out your advice. :0)
Let me know how you do!
Eric, I have watched a lot of chipping videos and this is the best. You explained everything really clearly and in a simple easy to understand way. I have really struggled with my chipping, and you identified several issues I have had. You got it spot on. I loved where you used the grip to demonstrate how close to stand to the ball. So simple but very clever, I will be using that in practice. Thanks for your help. Best wishes from England.
Appreciate the kind words my friend! I hope it helps moving forward!
Great video...Awesome explanations!!! You made it very easy to understand...got a fan!!
Thanks, Jeremy....appreciate it!
just love this video. simple and repeatable tips on how to chip more consistently. there is no one who can communicate this simply and clearly teaching golf on the web. superb.
Appreciate that Lawrence! Glad you enjoyed!
Very helpful. This video built a comprehensive “system” for me to practice.
Happy to hear that, Alex!
Great video. I have been so confused in my head with all of the techniques out there. When I was a teenager, I was great with a pitching wedge. Lately, I have had a total mental block, but I am going to practice this tonight at the range.
Hope it helps my friend!
The best chipping video on TH-cam!!! Thanks Buddy!
You got it! Appreciate the kind words!
Eric, I watch all your videos numerous times and I was wondering if you would share the wedges that you use and their bounce. Do you have any videos on short game explaining the bounce and how to use it. Your long game videos have truly helped me.
Thank you!
I've played a mix of Mizuno and Cleveland wedges past few years....8-12* of bounce depending.
Here are my favorite ones we did on bounce:

Eighty two years old , game in good shape except have had chipping yips for last two-three years. Found your video really interesting and feel already it will help my game. Many thanks; can’t wait to get out to the course and try it.
Awesome, thanks Gary. Hope it helps, keep me updated!
Man O' man!! slightly opening the clubface going back, got me chipping in my basement between the glass top tables and the flat screen TV. Wow... the control is unbelievable. I really know where the ball is going now. Eric!!! You da man!! Thank you so very much. Tree
Love it!!!
I'm going to try these tips today, thank you Eric.
Happy to help!
Love the chipping videos, I vote for more of them!
We'll do more! Will be lots on membership site coming out soon
Hi Eric, very good video. I like the way you explain the basics of chipping. Simple and modest. Mick
Thank you sir, appreciate it!
Chipping is THE most important part of the game. Love these. Took 8 strokes off my last 9 hole round. Keep them coming.
I think it’s also the most fun to practice and get creative
same with me, love the video and content, would love to see more of this!!
Thanks, Arthur!
excellent! I've been dealing with the chipping yips for almost a year. Supposed to play Friday on a course with small greens and was already dreading it. This video has shown me two critical mistakes I was making. Can't wait to get to the range. THANK YOU!
Hope it serves you well David!
I’ve watched a lot of chipping vids on TH-cam. This is probably the best.
Thanks...appreciate it!
Excellent instruction. I followed the direction and it worked perfect. Surprised that none of the pros I had lessons with gave me these instructions.
Thanks, Tarek! Glad it helped!
👍👍👍👍👍: I love this video, Eric. It’s fantastic, practical & highly educative. I need something like this on putting to straighten up & complete my skill on short games. Please keep it up.
Thanks!
We have some on here on putting, not a ton though. Lot's more on Cogornogolf.com if you want to check that out
Eric, GREAT stuff, well done!
Thanks!
Thanks Eric, I will use your technique against my golf buddies😁. I may show it to my wife so she would love me more.
Our pleasure, Andrew! Hope it helps!
Absolutely brilliant video. Watched it. Tried it. Couldn’t believe it. “Gold”
:) Thanks Brian
This guy is so easy to listen to. Genuine and helpful
:)
Used some of these tips today and they worked well!! Thanks!!
Love it!
Love this video, content, format...I personally would like to see more like this for pitching, short game strategy, whatever it takes to get the score down:)!!
Appreciate the feedback..we will do more moving forward
Geronimo McDuggins Thanks I’ll definitely be watching this - congrats on your par round!
Best chipping tips I have ever seen. Something I struggle with a bit
Thanks Steve! Hope this helps ya!
@@CogornoGolf I was a scratch player for decades and quit when I was older for 5 years and everything you mentioned in your video is things I have thought about trying and hopefully doing when I struggled with chipping more than the long game' Everybody should see this video because it mentions every possible thought involved in being a good chipper of the ball.
After watching your video, I went to the short-game practice green and followed your instructions. I was chipping with more accuracy and confidence. Can’t wait to incorporate the swing into my game tomorrow. Thank you.
Love to hear that!
Thanks Eric. Superb lesson here. Great instruction. Now, back to the practice area. Mastering chipping takes hours of practice.
Thanks, Pat! Hope this helps my friend!
from some one who has had the chipping yips for years, I can tell you that what he is saying is right on point. I have recently gotten over the chipping yips, but, it took a village, and lots of practice. Standing closer, feet together are a couple set up moves that will help..Thank you!
Our pleasure! Hope this one serves you well!
Make sure you are touching some steel with your right hand and not only do you have more control of the clubhead, but you have a standardized distance to the ground from your hands and hence even more consistency.
I like it...rather grip down more than less
Very comprehensive and helpful 👍🏌️⛳️
Beautiful!
This stuff is gold. Been struggling greenside lately, can't wait to practice this.
Thanks!!
excellent explanations of club face and effect. great video!
Thanks, Wayne!
I feel like I got better just by watching this video. Great video man
Thanks man- appreciate ya
Eric I played a round after watching this video yesterday and had my best day chipping. Now I need a video for a pitch from 25-40 yards out. My chipping was amazing yesterday thanks man!!!!
:) Happy to help
Spot on
This one short video has transformed my chipping in 10 minutes. Unbelievable.. I hope you read this Eric. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear that my friend...my pleasure!
You re the best on TH-cam. Congrats from France !
Appreciate ya!
I have really been enjoying and learning from your videos. Thank you for the info and great presentation!
Appreciate it, Matthew!
Just ordered two new Vokey wedges with 12 degrees of bounce...cannot wait for them to arrive so I can practice this technique! Thanks EC!
Nice Harry! Hope your practice goes great!
Excellent tips and advice. Thank you.
Appreciate it, Derek!
Really this where one of the better videos I have seen in the short game.
Thank you :)
So easy to understand.
This guy is good.
Thanks, Jon!
So pedagogical and clear. Thank you!
My pleasure :) Hope it helps!
OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO THE GOLF LESSONS USEFUL WHICH WE USUALLY FORGET TO FOLLOW IN THE PRESSURE
Thanks, Chandra!
Great video: clear and precise...next one should be on how to read lies and make changes in stance, take away and swing for chipping, accordingly...life saver
Agreed!
We did some on different slopes your may enjoy here: th-cam.com/video/IOUQLsx27gE/w-d-xo.html
Eric , i’ve watched alot of videos of others , good but explain pretty much the same. Tonight, i’ll have problems to sleep(i’m playing tomorrow lol) Tonight i really felt like you were talking to me. I saw my hole game situations and you pushed on a lots of warning buttons ... THANK YOU. What im saying is, keep it up on the way you say things! Simple, for everybody, and realist to our game. And it goes for all your videos!!
Appreciate it, Vincent! I hope it helps my friend!
Finally someone agrees with me. I’ve been teaching longer back stroke shorter follow through when chipping for years, but I’m out numbered by the short back stroke instructor. I think you’re a great instructor and have your own thoughts and like myself go against the grain if need be. Like to meet you one day
Appreciate it Mark! We are on the same page....hard to find many elite wedge players who are shorter back than through.....very easy to find the opposite as you know :)
Great stuff! Thank you, Eric!
Appreciate it--our pleasure!
I have fought a lethal case of chip yips for several years. I was putting from 15 yards off the green to avoid my panic of a skull or laying the sod over my nugget. This instruction has brought me back, not all the way, but really feeling confidence again. Thanks Eric. Good stuff. Especially for us older guys who have lost distance and depend on the short game to keep us competitive.
Glad to hear you're finding solutions my friend!
This is an excellent video on short game techniques....Thank you Eric!!!
Thanks, Tony!
this is the most detailed and well structured video I have seen about chipping.no joking I did watched all off them 😀Thank you !!!!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Very clear, very focused and very well explained.
Thanks, Nat!
Man ive been playin this damn game for 20yrs, and personally only worked this out myself recently. And you explain this as i worked out thru painstakingly finding a solution. People get lessons it will save u years & frustration. Todays instructors are collectively been through it too..Good Golfing all! Thanks for vid.
We are on the same page my friend!
Great chipping advice Eric! Simple and easy to understand and take to the course.
Thanks Michael!
Great video. Sensible Well explained Demonstrated No time wasted waffling. Highly recommend this format!!
Thanks, David!
Love this video, Fantastic video, content, short game strategy, thank your sharing :)
Appreciate it!
Well done. This is very helpful.
Appreciate it!
Thanks very much for some sound advice.
My pleasure!
I have saved many a par chipping close to the ball with elbows almost touching my hips, I swing out of plane which helps me to keep the head of the club on plane towards my intended target, your video is spot on and am sure it will help many of us guys out here - Many thanks for the insurance knowing that am on the right track!
My pleasure Alan...happy to help
As a newbie I found video a lot easer to understand than the others I have watched. Ty very nice tips.
Thanks, David! Hope it helps my friend!
Great video. My goal in life is to learn the short game. Not many issues off the tee but around the greens is a different story. So difficult to be consistent. I really think me standing closer to the ball will help a lot.
You can definitely fix all that....short game is easy with good technique! If you can't figure it out come see me
Eric, thank you!
Happy to help :)
excellent video, really simplified it for me, thanks
Appreciate it!
Awesome ty Eric and crew!!!
You got it my friend!
Bro, as a fellow professional I ll follow your stuff and try everything...at this point I have to admit YOU didn’t not disappoint so far. Keep up the good work and get the knowledge out there. Moreover your explanations are easy to follow and well structured. Over and out.
Thanks, man! Appreciate that....hope you are doing well!
