If you’re on the course and you struggle specifically with thin chip shots, you need to learn how to use the bounce on the bottom of your club. Wedges are designed to give you a fail-safe method of hitting your shots. You don’t need to strike the ball perfectly to hit a good shot. The key here is you need to have the bottom part of your club interacting with the ground, NOT the leading edge.

Interesting idea, you seem to teaching players to scoop under their chip shots, by breaking and hinging the wrists. Not seen that approach before.
Hope it helps ya Matt
For mid to higher shots to use the bounce this is good
Less so for low shots

Hi. Should your left wrist be cupped or bowed? Or flat? And is answer the same for pitching?
Hey Tim!
It depends very much on your grip:

th-cam.com/video/lxyLhDS_UrM/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/vGqZJjnDA0Q/w-d-xo.html
You want the face less tilted down with pitching (more toe up)....again you will need to see what wrist angle you need relative to your grip

the simple version
Weaker grip--more bow
neutral grip--more flat
Stronger grip--some cup
That’s great. Thanks Eric. I’ll have a look at these.
Follow thru tip= holster your gun!
Yeah I like that one Paul
This is key, thanks for this 👍🏻
Hope it helps John!
Binge watching your videos - love them - keep up the great work!! Thanks!!
Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate it.
Great video!
I was very active like 10 years ago and back then almost everybody chipped with the ball back in the stance. I did exactly what you are promoting Eric and I have always been a great chipper. Your advice makes so much sense to me! I'm not sure if you adressed the wedge-shots but I applied the same technique and thinking using the bounce on all my shots within 110 yards and the results were amazing!
Keep it up.
/Viking, Sweden
Thanks! Me too. I used to go ball back, low spinner style chips and it was remarkably in consistent. A little better when I was practicing everyday but still far less predictable. When I learned about using the bounce it complete revolutionized my chipping!
Hi Eric, I absolutely think your videos are the best. I’, struggling with my chips and pitching. I have been for about 6 months+. Can you describe the hand position on the take away. Thumbs up. I get the hinge discussion. Also, check your website. Some funky Asian web page pops up.
Thanks for letting us know...will check it out!!
I would start with a weaker grip.....with both hands.
Thumbs pointing more straight back to have the Facebook neutral or slightly open...
Dont need a ton of hinge for stock shot....more for higher shots
Eric, very nice video and straight forward as always. Thank you. Question, are you using the same grip as normal shots. Also, what about grip tightness? Thanks so much for the excellent videos and instruction you produce.
Thanks, Alan!
Good question!
I like a weaker grip for chipping/pitching. Makes it easier to have face open and use bounce.
Grip pressure neutral...more toward soft than firm for most
Eric Cogorno Golf Thanks, Eric! That makes total sense and I will practice on that.
Great video, thanks, lots of good tips. I will be thudding my way to the greens this afternoon. I learnt lots of supplemtary ideas from you replies to the comments below. I think I´ll subscribe to your channel.
Thanks for being with us! Hope it helps!
Hey Eric awesome video again. Is there certain lies that you wouldn’t use the bounce on. For example, can you use this in the deep rough?
You can use it everywhere.....different options for different lies. Thats a whole other video...good question.
Eric since I started playing again (last two months) I found myself with the chipping yips. I have never had those back in my playing days. I have worked almost every evening with every conceavable swing technique / swing thought and still find myself with the yips. In my playing days they called me the SandMan because of my sandwedge play...............I was able to use bounce or leading on command back then and work it like magic. It is only with the chip shot, not pitch shots. I find myself blading them across the green / or fatting them. As an example, last week I shot a 77 with 3 chilly dips and one bladed chip. It was very embarrasing during the beggining now I almost find it commical. Strange indeed.
If you ever in proximity of the state of Texas I would love pay for a day with you on the range.
Hope you get it sorted my friend!
We don't plan on being there for any coaching but you can always join www.cogornogolf.com and post up your videos and I will be able to diagnose and fix there.
Or contact Dennis Sales he coaches with us and is in Texas OR Robert from the other chipping video I saw you commented on is in Texas as well!
@@CogornoGolf Thanks Eric ill look them up and go see one or both.
Can't wait to try this out. Gonna save a few bucks before dropping the side gig and get some lessons from u or tip u or something. I have videos but I may not need to send those cause they r months old. Gonna make some more up to date ones one day. But for now I'm gonna try u out, you're speaking my language.
Lol lets do it!
Hi Eric quick question I am being taught in the way you are showing ie using the bounce. However, there is one difference which is in the set up my feet are wider 12 - 18 inches apart with the left foot flared out and weight on the right foot, the ball is opposite left foot heal everything else is the same. Can you let me know what you think?
Sounds fine...I like to have the ball position just inside right heel. weight 50/50 to 60/40 left is fine. Would have to see your move to give specifics but sounds like youre on the right track
subscribed yesterday and your content is one of the best on youtube. thanks for all your lessons and tips. We watch and earn when you teach your junior students b/c a lot of their faults are the same as ours. thanks
Appreciate that! My pleasure.
'This makes so much sense....also watched the video chipping with Nolan...so excited to try this. Thank you!
Thanks, Shelly! My pleasure :)
I know I'll be crucified for this but wotthehell... I practice this shot on our very tight chipping green (when no one is looking). I've been able to play the shot from hard pan and I love it from tight lies around the green for the consistent amount of spin I can generate. I would suggest that you could get more consistent contact by not hinging the wrists ... I'm rather old (ancient, actually) and my small muscles are just too twitchy so I try to eliminate them ... the feeling I have is simply rotating around my spine - no wrists, no hands, no shoulders. Love your videos and thanks.
Good stuff!
Short chip shots, little less hinge or maybe no hinge and keep a little cup to keep it neutral and expose the bounce? Seems like something to mess with and answer my own question
Haha yes experiment...in general....
Short chip shot if you're going low= less hinge short swing
Short chip shot if you're going higher=longer swing, more hinge, face more open
Hi Eric, i've been going back n forth between this method and the hinge and hold, with good results with both methods, but i have the occasional miss with both methods. With the hinge and hold i find i often get to steep and dig to much and will get the odd shot heavy, with the method you teach i find my occasional miss is a thinned shot. I have no way of uploading my swing etc but would appreciate your take on what may be going on if that's possible? I'm really wanting to find a method that stands up under pressure and one where i don't have those fat or thinned shots, which is why i'm floating between the two methods. Perhaps others have the same issues? I guess you've probably answered it in this video but maybe i'm missing something?
Hey!
Unfortunately for you there are just too many variables that could be causing that for me to know. I would have to see a video.
If you join Cogornogolf.com as a premium member you can upload videos in the facebook group with a simple phone video!
@@CogornoGolf Hi Eric, sorry for the late reply! I've been practicing your method for the higher chips, ie more bounce and it was these shots i was thinning under pressure! Seems i was not "THUDDING" enough! I've focused on being more aggressive with my club/bounce interaction with the ground and to me this seems to be the key to more consistent contact especially on those tighter lie shots when you have to get under the ball! As you said to Nolan don't skim, thud! Thanks again i think the penny has dropped...
Thanks for another great video. I notice you emphasize finishing hands way left in line with left hip. Why is that?
Rotation of body, swing plane, how the bounce works, etc...I can provide a longer more detailed instruction but thats a video in and of itself
Sorry weight is on the left foot 60/40 or more
It works...well
Yes it does! Wish I would have known this 15 years ago!
Very wet here... A thud will cover me in mud
Better not wear your best pants then :)
If i can chip and pitch in these conditions i should be able to do it anywhere... if your contact is not perfect you are cleaning your glasses
I used to be a decent chipper when I lived and played in a different town and was a member at a particular club. After moving to a wetter climate and joining more of a muddy based club (when it does rain) that has grass where the ball always sits down in the rough, I have become a mental midget when it comes to chipping. Fat them and thin them all friggin day because confidence is out the window. You become afraid of fatting them so of course the consequence of that is everybody's favorite shot ... the thin! There is a big difference playing soft tracks compared to firmer sand based tracks with great stand up tighter grass.
Thanks Eric; this segment was very clear and (hopefully) prove beneficial to my short game..
It WILL work if done properly! I promise.
Mr.Cogorno, I have trouble with my grip. If I put the grip under my left heel pad as shown by many teachers I tend push shots right. If I grip left hand neutral my shots improve. Your thoughts.
I want the heel pad on top....always. Hard to say without seeing your swing. If your heel pad is on the side of the grip (weak) and you put it on top (stronger) that in and of itself shouldnt make the ball go right.
When you open the club face is your alignment left of target ?
Yes
Is your weight 50/50 for these shots Eric?
Yup. 50/50 or 60/40 left is fine imo....def dont want more on the right
Do you apply this same technique on a tight lie, Eric?
Absolutely. You could learn to use the bounce even off the green!
Less of the thud but still bounce..more of a clean pick
Eric I use this and it works good for me, unlike my iron shots 100 yards or greater. Thanks for your advice this is excellent. If I could only start a hole 20 yards out. Lol.
Love it, love it, love it!!!! Great explanation. Basically your saying RELEASE the club more in the downswing so that it exposes the bounce at impact more then the leading edge, so the club is more neutral at impact basically, cant wait to try it. Thanks so much Eric, cant get enough of your chipping pitching lessons!
Yes, exactly. So long as your setup pieces are neutral it works great!
Cool, would this work on super tight lies? or would you make some adjustments or is it the same method?
same thing
What club do you like to use for this. I have a 52, sand wedge, and 60. Don't care for my 52. Was thinking of getting a 54 next. This is by far the part of my game I struggle with a lot. Usually chuck these shots because I think I can hit with ball back, shaft tilted forwards. Super apprehensive.
Ok great! Thank you.
What happens when you come over the top in chip shots do i need to come from the inside as well and shallow
Over the top okay with an open face
