I love the second option i've been using that this season and have had great success the ball gets great spin and height and helps getting over bunkers and other hazards love the videos
Most of the courses I play on in here in Texas do not have much greenside rough. Played a 2-day tournament this weekend on a course that does. First day I had no clue and had zero up-and-downs. Watched this video after first round, practiced a bit the next morning and had 4 second round. Great tip!
Awesome video guys! So helpful! This was so helpful! Are you able to do fairway roughs? Struggling with fairway roughs at the moment as it is winter here with soggy long fairways! Thanks guys!
great tips. i am currently looking to get a lob wedge sm5 T grind 60 degree with a 8 bounce. will it work for those kinda deep rough around the green over bunker or rough? thank you
awesome video..when should I use this shot?... everytime im in the rough about 5-10 yards from green?.. or can I use this shot if im like 20 yards from green o maybe get over a bunker?
ok perfect thank you....the videos are awesome...if the pin is front of green and I'm 5 yards to the green..could I use the 6 iron or should it be a lob wedge?...this is the most frustrating part of game
Nice video guys and will give these chips a go out on the course! Just wondering what loft of club you were using for these kind of chip shots? Keep up the good work!
thank you for the video and great technique. this looks to be more of a pitch shot but I would like to know how to chip from a bad lie when you have a pin no more than 10ft away. tough shot for me. i either Duff it or hit it way too far.
This is a great technique even for crappy lies did this myself other week and chipped in, asking as you can guess how hard to hit it's a great shot to use
Hi guys. I find putting one of the hardest aspects of the game and I never know how hard to hit it. How would you recommend knowing what weight to put on the ball?
Very interesting. We have some nasty grass sometimes around our green in So Cal, and my Father-in-law uses the chop method when I keep telling him to use the "proper" technique. What do I know? lol.
Hello Guys.... I have a friendly competition going with a mate, at $10 dollars a whole, but when it comes to last few holes when game is tight. I keep losing focus, do you have any pointers on ways to keep myself focused
By the way thank you for all of the insight and tips and helping me take charge of my game. I'm pretty new and with your video's alone and no real life instruction in a year I've gone from shooting in the 110's sometimes 120's to under 100. Best so far is an 87. With work and practise and assistance from excellent instructors such as you two I'm hoping one day to make par.
Great stuff. You guys keep making better videos. What about a down hill lie both with and without any green to work with? I always struggle with those.
Steve Meed Thanks Steve. Down hill lie is all about weight on the lead leg and to allow a steeper swing dwon the slop. Move the ball back in the stance also to help contact.
If I need a low running shot out of rough, I play it middle of stance, and play it like a normal shot. The simple fact that the ball is in rough will make it run. If it's sitting down, I'll take a bit longer swing. Needs a wrist hinge. Higher stopping shot is difficult from sitting down lie, so I'll normally not even attempt it. Get it on the green first, take bogey. Of course I could try the "bunker shot" idea, but I'd need to practice it. Cool video. I like the high stopping shot, but if you leave yourself with a lot of these shots on the course, your course management needs work. Good stuff.
Hey Guys, Great video. How does the cock and pop method differ from the hinge and holde that Phil uses. Also is there an advantage over the method where u make a static setup with shaft lean, and use the upperbody with a fixed triangle between the arms while u rotate only the upperbody, that Peter finch has done a video on resently. Regards Peter.
Second video I've seen where it seems as if Pierce's mic is not working correctly. Not as loud as Andy especially when Pierce is not standing near Andy...?
The biggest mistake I see with people chipping out of the rough, especially when they don’t have a lot of green to work with is they always think the ball is going to react the same way as it would on a normal lie and they always reduce loft and the shot goes way too far
Hi guys thanks so much for the videos they are of great help and are instructive. I have recorded these two clips of my swing and would really appreciate it if you could comment on them. drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Big53mrmGLLTg0ZWJJOTN2LV9aU0haR2l0ZW9BNnplU1V3/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Big53mrmGLOWlEbThaUGtYU3F2akkwRG9oV3YxbXFoc2RR/view?usp=sharing
Sam Frost To start with, check your grip. It appears to be very strong. Search youtube for "neutral grip" videos. By the way, no denims allowed in golf ;)
Great video, been losing major strokes around the greens, practiced this yesterday, think it’ll help!
I love the second option i've been using that this season and have had great success the ball gets great spin and height and helps getting over bunkers and other hazards love the videos
What type of clubs are you using for these types of shots? Lob wedge or sand wedge? Neither?
Should I be using my higher bounce wedge for either (or both) of these chipping techniques?
Another great short game lesson / video here. I'll be practising this and trying to add it to my armoury for on the course!
JCRocksteady Let us know if it helps you out.
Which club were used for the 1st and 2nd chip shot? Thank you.
I will like to inow this too
It would nice if you tell us what club you were using for this shot given the lie and grass height.
Most of the courses I play on in here in Texas do not have much greenside rough. Played a 2-day tournament this weekend on a course that does. First day I had no clue and had zero up-and-downs. Watched this video after first round, practiced a bit the next morning and had 4 second round. Great tip!
Thanks Guys! This is an all to familiar shot for me, and I'm going to practice these approaches.
can't wait to try this. Thanks again guys for always posting very informative videos.
Awesome video guys! So helpful! This was so helpful! Are you able to do fairway roughs? Struggling with fairway roughs at the moment as it is winter here with soggy long fairways! Thanks guys!
I have a 12 iron. Does that negate the need to play it like option 2 because of the high amount of loft anyway? I sometimes use it in a bunker...
great vid guys, love your work!
Brilliant great shot first video I've seen showing this technique. Thank you.
Well done Andy! And, as always, great video guys. Cheers.
Drilon Toska Thanks Drilon.
great tips. i am currently looking to get a lob wedge sm5 T grind 60 degree with a 8 bounce. will it work for those kinda deep rough around the green over bunker or rough? thank you
+yuan yu Yes a lob wedge is perfect for this.
awesome video..when should I use this shot?... everytime im in the rough about 5-10 yards from green?.. or can I use this shot if im like 20 yards from green o maybe get over a bunker?
Justin Sproule Whenever the lie is bad but it all depends on how much green you have to work with. otherwise you can use it anywhere you like.
ok perfect thank you....the videos are awesome...if the pin is front of green and I'm 5 yards to the green..could I use the 6 iron or should it be a lob wedge?...this is the most frustrating part of game
my game*
What club did he use?
What would be better for a bump and run, a pitching wedge or a 52?
I like the poker face Andy tried to keep after that amazing shot
Nice video guys and will give these chips a go out on the course!
Just wondering what loft of club you were using for these kind of chip shots?
Keep up the good work!
Daniel Deacon I used the 58 degree Daniel.
Awesome, thanks guys - I will be giving this a go!
thank you for the video and great technique. this looks to be more of a pitch shot but I would like to know how to chip from a bad lie when you have a pin no more than 10ft away. tough shot for me. i either Duff it or hit it way too far.
Great vid guys, really shows how to do this,
Keep them coming.
This is a great technique even for crappy lies did this myself other week and chipped in, asking as you can guess how hard to hit it's a great shot to use
Hi guys. I find putting one of the hardest aspects of the game and I never know how hard to hit it. How would you recommend knowing what weight to put on the ball?
What if the grass is a little longer and growing towards you or against the target if you will?
Very interesting. We have some nasty grass sometimes around our green in So Cal, and my Father-in-law uses the chop method when I keep telling him to use the "proper" technique. What do I know? lol.
Great video guys, what clubs would you recommend for these shots, are most lofted best for both shots?
Andrew Jackson Yes Andrew. I used my 58 degree.
Thanks guys will get this practiced
haha so modest! That was awesome!
Great video!
Does the same theory apply for the ‘poached egg’ in the bunker shot??
gr8 video and nice shot Andy :)
Hi my putting is the worst part of my game what putters do you use?
Great vid, i have always struggled with this
Would you change anything for deeper rough? (i.e grass 2-3 inches longer than what is pictured?)
Scott C Ball further back and steeper action.
Hello Guys....
I have a friendly competition going with a mate, at $10 dollars a whole, but when it comes to last few holes when game is tight. I keep losing focus, do you have any pointers on ways to keep myself focused
Don’t think about anything, just play
Hey I read that you use a 58.. would a 60 still work for these type of shots or is that too much loft?
Dendroth Eso Yes definitely.
Just to clarify yes definitely it would work?
By the way thank you for all of the insight and tips and helping me take charge of my game. I'm pretty new and with your video's alone and no real life instruction in a year I've gone from shooting in the 110's sometimes 120's to under 100. Best so far is an 87.

wish I had rough like that on my course...;-)
Great stuff. You guys keep making better videos. What about a down hill lie both with and without any green to work with? I always struggle with those.
Steve Meed Thanks Steve. Down hill lie is all about weight on the lead leg and to allow a steeper swing dwon the slop. Move the ball back in the stance also to help contact.
Thanks great video,
What suggestions do you guys have for more muscular guys on the course? I have trouble with my swing due to having wider shoulders.
jburg29 your pinner
Ultimate chill on that made chip haha

Good stuff.
I love golf so I like you as well
James Johnson Thanks James
Can't seem to make good contact with the open face shot. Frequently thin over the green or fat behind the ball.
Hey Guys,
Great video. How does the cock and pop method differ from the hinge and holde that Phil uses. Also is there an advantage over the method where u make a static setup with shaft lean, and use the upperbody with a fixed triangle between the arms while u rotate only the upperbody, that Peter finch has done a video on resently.
Regards Peter.
petembb the "cock and Pop" you don't hold the hinge.
3:05 that was awesome
awesum shoot.
Can you do another one 5 years later?
Brilliant! Thank you
Second video I've seen where it seems as if Pierce's mic is not working correctly. Not as loud as Andy especially when Pierce is not standing near Andy...?
Ruben Flores Yes we have had some problems with the mic but we have hopefully sorted it now. It's frustrating to say the least!
That isn’t the rough we have in South Dakota
The biggest mistake I see with people chipping out of the rough, especially when they don’t have a lot of green to work with is they always think the ball is going to react the same way as it would on a normal lie and they always reduce loft and the shot goes way too far

Don’t hit the ball in the rough
