Love your vids matt
Seems like the same stroke length as a pitch, but open face and no “loosen the screw.” Assuming your still recommending weight forward given it’s a chip? One more question: What do you recommend for ball position?
Absolutely love your videos. You’re #1 on YT in my book!
George Muldoon yeah looks like a pitch. The video says chip. I’m confused
@DksPantherPride its surprising how many YouYubers get this mixed up! Definitely a pitch in my book!👍
SuperDuper Awesome It may help to think of pitching and chipping in terms of technique. Pitches use bounce; chips use the leading edge?
Little Dave uses this
Good stuff.
I gave this lesson to one of my pals at Villa Sol Golf Club, he was a hands forward ball back scooper and chunker, he sent me an email one week later telling me he was so excited about how he was performing the chip shot he reckons it will transform his game!!
i try it next time..
Great stuff; how about fluffy lies?
At what yardage do you transition from bounce to leading edge? Is your quarter 30/40 yd and half 50/60 yd technique still use bounce?
J Car somewhere around 80 yards but depends on what club I’m using.
J Car NEVER!
Using bounce can be used for both 30/40 yard and 50/60 yard. Instead of using the same club and swinging harder. You use say 56 degree with open club to hit 30/40. Than use 52 degree same swing speed and open club to get 50/60 yards. Everyone is different though. So you have to play around with what works best for you.
Great advice as always.
i struggle with where to put my ball in relation to bottom of swing arc.
could you address this problem in a future video.
thanks
john
Middle works. Key is don’t get your hands in front of ball. Weight is forward about 70%. Hands low around your body
I’ve completely lost my Irons over the last few weeks. Turned straight shots 90%of the time into Hook then slice. Any tips?
Relax your arms. Waggle to bleed out tension in arms and wrists. Focus on swing feel, not ball. Visualize the perfectly timed swing in your mind for 3 seconds then… determine (say to yourself) to perform that most excellent swing. Works with putts, too.
@Tv S thanks I’ll give that a try
Tv S f
Not only is that good to do chipping but also 60, 50, 40, 30 yd pitch shots from tight lies
Thinking I’ve been watching your videos for about year, not only are you my favourite online teacher but I dare say my game is 10 strokes better than prior to watching! Please keep doing what you do your awesome!🏌🏽♂️🇨🇦
Ure awesome man.
Amazing dude
This is great content! Thanks!
Yes, good tip. I have found that on soft chips, you need to pay attention to the grain. Most of the time, it’s not going to matter. But if it’s a grainy grass like Bermuda, that flange don’t slide through so easy.
Another thing that helps.. Swing just a bit outside to in tin get the bounce
Brilliant explanation, thank you
I already knew this but the way you explained it is like a penny drop moment for me.
Take the leading edge out of play by getting it up and out of the way.
I now can intentionally keep it out of play through the shot.
Thanks!
Next video. 100yd shot technique please. I have mastered your low flighted 60yd spinner and I use the same on my chip shots but since have lost my feel for the 100–120 yd wedge.
Please help
Jonathan Hix I was wondering how long it would take for someone with your problem.Chipping 60. Yarders or less is great for this technique but gets frustrating after 100–150 yards because your not compressing the ball hitting behind it.
And than they flip it
I will try that, I do have an issue with digging the leading endge in ground. Thx Wayne
a
What if you’re in the rough? U still have the same approach ? I understand more speed, but as in the attack angle ?
Eddie Elfakir rough is a bit different and it all depends on how deep your ball is sitting
I was ‘doomed’ before, but have been try your technique off a mat. Amazing. Ball goes up then down. Just love it. I try to hit an inch before the ball. I find the sand wedge seems to work well for me. Thanks so much.
J
Crazy seeing you without a hat on
Wow, that’s awesome. I am going to try this and I work on my game everyday!!!
Thank you man. I do set up square and kinda closed like your saying. Thats why I’m catching it fat and coming up short more often than I like.. I’ll be sure to open up the face next time I play..
Instead of opening the face I just open my stance a little. I feel it works pretty much the same.
Can’t stop shanking my pitch shots help!
Open your stance, worked for me
@Gideon Works for me and I don’t shank any…I say try it and see if it works for you. I had a guy comment at the range the other day at how tight my 30 yard chips were to the flag.
Excellent ty
Love this. Thanks G
These are all good tips but as with anything you want to do well there is a thing called PRACTICE! Does not matter if it is baseball, football, tennis, hockey,archery, dance, musical instrument and so on you have to PRACTICE and do what is right for you then hone it and you will own it!
One thing I don’t understand about opening the face is that the club head is angled out towards your right. So do you adjust your body more to the left more to line up with where you want the ball to go or swing differently? Basically what keeps the ball from flying out to the right when you have the face opened like that?
Exactly. Body is aligned left of target and club face is aiming straight at target after you open the face. Same thing for bunker shots.
Is this Rustic Canyon?
Great video I recently discovered utilizing bounce and it’s taken at least 3 shots off my rounds ✌
How come the ball won’t slice off to the right?
I’ll be trying this next week at the range!
Keep up the good work.
Your club path to the left (if you a right handed) is countering it
So you aim left?
Yep, use the bounce. There for a reason.
Might as that lie angle fit is critical with this technique.
Will work on this thanks!
Best lesson ever . I don’t recall seeing this tip anywhere before. I tried it out and works beautifully . 😀👍
Thank you M.S.G. playing better using your tips.
i’m gr8 at practicing this. but to execute it i have to use so much more club than i think. usually i end up digging in and come up short but, if i don’t dig then the ball only gets half way there. it’s scary opening a gap wedge to hit 20ft
I wanted to let you know I watched your video on rotation and it helped me get back the 10 yard I lost on shots . I was sliding instead of twisting. Thanks Matt keep up good work!!!!!!
Brooks: What is the name of his video on rotation? I’d like to watch it. So important in the swing!
How do you aim open club face? (Semantics I suppose: more flight than roll=a pitch in my view. Tomato tomahto.)
The wedges are unique clubs in your bag with that God-given (or in this video Vokey-given) bounce on the bottom. Most average golfers don’t even think about it, or use it! Such a small adjustment (by opening the face) that will produce drastic results! Great video tip!
I’m guessing this is the same for when chipping with lower lofted clubs, PW, 9 i, etc. Is that right?
kofblz MSG has a video I recall of opening the face on the 8 iron ( and below) I use it a lot
This is a good video BUT.….….. I wouldn’t recommend thinking about the bounce because more times than not amateurs will blade the shit out of it plus if you “bounce” the club into the ball it’s because you’ve made a contact mistake (no you don’t want that, even if you get away with it) Now what I would recommend and this works very very well is to SWEEP the ball of the grass/dirt/or whatever lie. Don’t think about hitting down on it and don’t think about picking the ball off the ground. A sweeping motion will give you great contact and you can use this theory with any club. Remember to sweep the ball and your chipping and pitching and even your long game will improve ten fold!
pd9971 Highly agree…no beginners could ever use this drill…#SKULL
I guess you should be making videos instead of watching them… thanks for the help, no help
@Robby G13 No problem don’t take my advice but do me a favor the next time you practice chipping on your first 10 chips just think about sweeping the ball (don’t hit down and don’t pick it) and if it doesn’t work then you can tell me that I’m full of shit fair enough?
@Gideon The thing is it works though. I am the very definition of a high handicapper…found Matt’s channel and have been putting this and some of his other short game tips into practice. I have dropped about 4–5 strokes off of my scores. I was told long ago to put the ball back in my stance, hands forward to chip. Worked about 1/3 of the time. Moved the ball more middle , shaft more in the middle, weight 70 percent on lead leg like Matt has suggested and my pitching has been transformed. Came up about 20 yards short on a long par 3 last weekend. Pitched it two about 1 ft. Before that would have been a bogey at best and easily a 5 without too much effort lol. I am a believer.…dude has game and good tips . Thanks MSG !
Excellent video
Im looking for chipping advice like the video described. Why am i looking at a pitching technique?
It’s the same technique for both, that’s the beauty of it. I just reduce the back swing for chipping 👍
Great vid. Gonna have to grind down my vokeys
Hi, what’s the bounce number are you using?
Love it as always! Congrats on winning the hardware! Thanks.
When I open the face to use more bounce, it appears that the club face is not meeting the ball squarely (at a 90 degree angle). What adjustments if any should I be making?
aim left (if you are a rightie)
Great videos! I’m a new viewer and subscriber to the channel. excellent content and I think it’s awesome that your videos are filmed at Rustic Canyon. Being from Moorpark, it’s cool to support a local YouTuber. Keep up the good work!
No problem opening the club face, the problem is in hitting the ball on an accurate line to target. Too many times the ball tends to go way right or left.
When I practiced this I felt like it was more of a flop shot. Am I opening up the face too much? Thanks
Golf sucks…With all the ca$h & land used for this boring game we could house & feed every homeless person in the world!!
I am sure you have opened up your home to a bunch of homeless people to help out?
Best chipping tip I ever Got was from an old timer who told me to chip with an 8 iron are the greens. Grip it like a putter with your finger down. I chip in so much my buddies cringe when I setup.…pretty sure Gary Player teaches the 8 iron chip too..
yep 8 iron finger down
This was the norm back in the day. Even on tour. I like to use p‑8 when I can. Doesn’t look as cool but there’s no pictures on the score card
Can you do video on distance control around green
Inside 20 yards, use one hand.
Bamn, your welcome
Do you aim left of your target line when you open and use the bounce like that?
whatever happened to get it on the ground as fast a possible and rolling like a putt?
My pro gave me a short game lesson , showing me this approach. Very useful. Gave command and confidence to pitch it close.
Great video, I like them all but on this one something I don’t understand. Why isn’t the ball going higher since you have it opened up? I have no problem at all with flop shots but my chipping is going south especially short ones. Any ideas? Thanks.
3:20 “and you’re not really gonna take a divot”
**fixes divot**
Well, divots are subjective…just ask my husband when I take a two foot deep divot from hitting the damn ball fat!!!
to be fair.. it was *because* he took a divot that he remembered to say that that is what you DON’T want to do. All makes sense.
When you open the club like that, do you have to change your stance to keep from going right?
Rob Harms Trial and error, go practice and find out what works for you. I practice chipping in my garden, 100 balls a day and vary up between low, medium and high chips. Definitely worth the effort 👍
This was the biggest positive change I made last year and it dramatically improved my game!!
I’m curious to know what clubs you use for what distances? Thanks
This works great but beware of hitting a few of these pitches just before you tee off with your driver. You will very likely push your drive right because you will leave the driver face open.
You had me at Volkey
New subscriber after this video. Keep them coming buddy
Another great tip. Liked 🙂
Thats all well and good but I don’t have a problem with short grass. I have big problem with deep green side rough with the quality of contact on the ball.
I like to square up everything.…open the clubface to say 2 o‑clock.….then open stance to 2 o‑clock to get the clubface aimed back at the target. Then regrip. Ball contact and height come off perfectly. And always acelerate. To decelerate is death, especially in higher rough.
Sorry…open stance to 10 o‑clock.
Thank you Sir…
You are so correct.. when I hit a bad shot using this technique it is because I didn’t accelerate. You have to trust your swing.
Great tips…
Love the videos 👍
You have single handedly improved my game ‚thanks
What bounce on your 54?
Mr Short Game. YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GOD. What did we do to deserve a man like you. Tried this out while at the practice range and it works a treat. Thanks a bunch!
He is the most generous instructor on the internet. Excellent lesson.
I tried what your saying opening up the face but it goes right. I must be doing something wrong.
Wilmer Feliciano If you open the face it will go more right for a right handed golfer. He should really mention you need to aim slightly differently mate.
As you’re opening the face, you’re aiming to the left of the flag right?
Great tip. Improved my scores because of this. Thanks!
Great tip! While I have always tended toward a higher pitch and chip shot trajectory and, thus, opened my clubs (use anything from 8i-60°) to engage the bounce, I found that my greatest ally is swing path. Having a shallow swing path, coming from the inside to out, allows me to sweep the ball cleanly. Slicers often come from out to in and have a steeper angle of attack. The margin for error is much greater due to a more narrow arc at the bottom of the swing path.
This technique is all very well on the perfect grass you’re playing off, my course has rock hard bare fairways with no give in the summer, meaning there is a place for hands forward ball back, leading edge chipping/pitching.
Bump and run life 😁
Find another coarse
so if you open face do you have to aim more left to hit straight? Thanks Matt
I just subscribed I love this, I finally started driving the ball awesome, but short game sux, this will fix it
Wedge with more bounce?
I’ve always found keeping the club head low around the greens helps on tight lies , too
Heard that “use the bounce” term for years and never quite understood it until now.Thank you!
This is pretty common knowledge.
Contradictory to everything I thought except for out of bunkers. Cant wait to try it!
This was a great tip! The idea reinforced a small breakthrough I had yesterday while practicing chipping. I wasn’t sure what was going on but contact was much cleaner and results were more consistent. Thank you for clarifying 👍🏻🥃
This is what I have been doing lately and it no doubt works. I’ve been getting up and down a lot better.
Thanks so much or this video! Went to the practice range today and practiced this for a little bit. Then I played 9 holes and man, does this work! I think I may have bladed just 1 shot, but all my others shots where pretty acceptable even though I had just started doing it today. I plan on practicing more and getting it closer in the future. No more fat chips or pitches I hope. Thanks man, greeting all the way from Puerto Rico!
Like your videos alot. However unless you are already using Paul Runyon’s putt/chip stroke, you can improve your chipping. It’s simply easier, and more accurate for the amateur golfer.
Thanks from someone that usually blades the ball using a wedge. You make it look so easy and effortless.
On shots of 4o to 60 yards I tend to you use a 60 degree wedge and I screw it all up. Sometimes I feel that I hit the ball to hard, but it goes like to 5 yards. I dont chunk it, it has good loft but goes no where. I usuallg play neutral, but should I change ball for this short shots.
Dude.. You saved my life. I’ve been stubbing chips like crazy for weeks. No clue why. My course is nothing but tight lies and I took your advise and chipped like a pro today.
Contradicts what you’ve told us before with tight lies you said close the face to remove the bounce now you say open the face to create more bounce
I tried chipping and and pitching and this tip made it work perfectly ! So I decided to use it on my other irons from 9 to 4 iron and guess what.… the ball flight was super straight !!!!! It even worked on my woods ! Can you please explain how opening the club face on all my irons while maintaining a square position actually made my strikes super solid ???
Since this works for you on your full shots, that means you have a high clubhead speed. You probably hit more that 240 yards with your driver. The open clubface causes the ball to go a little higher. But, since you have power, you don’t lose distance byThe smothered shot is the worst in golf besides a shank. Opening the
clubface avoids that but weaker players lose distance by opening their clubface. Ben Hogan designed his irons to be slightly open.
Thanks
Your tips do help my golf game a lot. They are easy to understand and practice. I have been going through so many golf instruction books, magazines, tips, videos and practice countless hours the past 20 years, and have not reached the level I want. I was an 18 handicapper 20 years ago and managed to bring it down to about 6, and then it seemed to hit the wall. although I have broke par twice, it is not consistent. I am now retired, but still trying to get better at golf every day, hoping to find the click somewhere, somehow until a few months ago I watched some of your videos. I find your attitude and positiveness in your presentation to be admirable, so I followed them. Though the tips were interesting, they didn’t click me until I watched the clip “The Best Golf Rotation Drill Ever” of yours. I went out to try it right away and it on the lawn without a ball and it worked. Today I tested it at the golf course and it also worked very well too! I also like this “Chipping Tip Changed my Golf Game Forever”, which I find to have a similar concept as the “Kevin Kisner Fixes Weekend Golfer’s Chipping Game” posted a week ago. These two tips of yours do take my golf swing to the level I wish, and now I am confident I have a proper swing to play the game I love.
Been practicing, short medium„game , you explain it very well, sticks with me, noticed improvements right away „ thyou.
L’arn a lot here. I watch, try out the lesson and progress. Appreciate this dude I do.
A great tip but what changes do you make to your alignment and is there a weight shift to the front foot?
you don’t need to open the face to engage the bounce, depends on club too, I like my 50 with 6 degrees bounce, 56 with 8 has too much for close lie short grass, many wedges have even more bounce, but with practice you will find what works for you in different grass conditions
It works. Thanks.
2nd time on this video. Awesome.
Hi con here. Your chipping tip just cut 5 shots of my round I feel. More please
Great tip ‚thanks
This is my first video of yours I’ve seen and I’m subbed. Great lesson and you’re great at speaking. Thank you
If you open the face do you need to aim left?
Thanks for the tip. One question though, is this still a good technique when the ground is very wet? My course is really wet at the moment and I’m finding if I catch just a bit of ground before the ball the club just buried itself and I chunk it. I guess I’ll find out soon enough if this happens with the bounce too 😂
ChrisA, if you leave the club square that leading edge is far more likely to dig in than if you open the clubface and use the bounce. Bounce is literally designed to skim through the soft dirt and keep the leading edge from digging in. Good luck!
I love your instruction techniques. I have a question.…I have been focusing on my takeaway with a smooth rotation because I had the tendency to come over the top at times. I have been focusing on the trailing edge of the ball instead of the leading edge you hit. it has allowed me to swing thru the ball with solid strikes . Is this a positive fix or am I asking for trouble?
If it works keep at it
Thank you for being my instructor Matt from lochlan
I thought a chip was low flight distance and maximum roll
That’s a chip and run. There’s also just chip shots and a variety of pitches
Finally, a golf video that speaks the truth! 👍
MSG… Man I love watching your videos short and to the point with energy and enthusiasm , keep em coming buddy!!!!!
Great tip.
Amazing so many instructors this far off the green call such a shot a chip shot vice a pitch. Such a shot with an open face is great for tight pin positions with very little green to work with where you want a soft high shot with spin that checks up softly and releases very little. This technique in this video is the worse enemy when you are trying to hit a low running chip shot which is free from side spin because you are running the leading edge with a low swing arc, not steep, straight down the target line – no fear of digging. Not a side open face spinning cut shot that checks and is inconsistent in release and often if it gets near the cup often spins out vice running straight in. Go with a high percentage chip shot with a lower lofted club and leave the open, bounce wedge shots to situations where a creative shot demands such. In teaching the short game high percentage shots, I often teach students how to use a lower lofted club with emphasis on path and controlling the face angle and then execute the same lie and distance with a wedge. The results and need for a change to their approach of how to execute the chip shot more effectively is obvious to the student which club to go to given the results between the two approaches.
good tip i always thought Opening the face like that would make me hit the ball to the right
Thank you
I found a tour spec wedge with 14 degrees of bounce.…i guess it has a lot so they can grind it down how they want.….pre grind wedges with this much bounce is like cheating.…my 2c.
Guarantee Matt was kicked out of a boy band, at some point…
Best visual and verbal explanation!
Thanks!,
Weight forward?
Great tip. I’m a bit scared to open the clubface.
Like the clobber. Your wife does a great job of dressing you.
Bro thanks for the tip!!! It works so good my game is way better
Your tip to aim for one thing o. The fairway helped me hit every fairway with my driver yesterday thanks homieee
Zapp and Roger approve!
I was just watching this and I noticed in wasn’t subscribed. ??? I subscribed a long time ago and your videos pop up. But how was I unsubscribed???
Dying to try this. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. How do you aim with this shot? Opening the club face to use the bounce makes you aim left with the club. Are you swinging across your body?
Wow, will try this 👍🏻
Great info, thank you!! When you open the face, do you adjust your aim, or will you hit to the left? I’m just asking for clarification as this would be a new technique for me. Thank you
Lance and Delrae Benson I open my stance a little bit so the face is pointing straight to target, then it usually corrects the direction, but small amounts.
Thank you!!
Between this video and your long irons video, you oughtta be in the teaching hall of fame. Well done!
Condescending and douchey.
Good video lesson! Here’s a question. I have always thought that opening the face would send the ball off to the right, so, when you open the face do you have to modify your swing at all? Or, was I wrong in my assumption?
I may be wrong but if you look and watch some of his other videos he has an open stance which should compensate a little ?
Love the enthusiasm brother! Great tips. Keep on keepn on!!!
Instructions on chipping and pitching is always awful and confusing
I find. This was good though ❤️👍🏼
Where is ball placed in stance, relative to feet?
Nice to meet you mr short game – liken your videos – like to know more about your back ground- if that’s ok – keith lucero Sam Francisco
Great tip
I am a new golfer (1 year) and your videos have helped my break 100 regularly but I feel really scared to open that face because I am afraid of going way right! Please explain conceptually how open the face of the wedge does not make the ball go right. Also how to use the bounce, how to hit the ground first without chunking badly.. thanks a lot.
Yes this really has helped me with the Skulls and Dubbs around the green Thank You Wayne
I am a retired firefighter after over 38 years. I just started playing like a year or so before I retired. I have only had 1 lesson on golf not counting all I have watched videos like yours. They are a God sent for people like me but not a replacement for what I really need for what I am doing. I would love to have some lessons from you. Where are you located and what would it cost me to get rid of all my flats? Please help me.
My chipping SUCKS.…Cant wait to try this!
Is your aim still the same as with a normal club face?
Great stuff thanks ! I actually learned something , going to try this right away. It makes sense just never thought to open it that much or at all really
Your tips worked. I appreciate the help.
I love your enthusiasm and your knowledge. You have helped me in a many ways. I like Mr. Short Game but I think you should name your channel “Chips Ahoy”. It might appeal to a larger audience? Whatever you do don’t stop making videos. Thanks
Just worked for me off a mat.….excited to try this on the course and especially out of the rough (which kills my game). Besides “opening the face/using bounce”, the even bigger key for me is “you are just going to turn”. I was trying to chip w/putting stroke and the club was not rotating through and balls go right out of the rough. Very frustrating. This is much more natural. thanks for sharing…subscribing now. wish me luck!
I’ve been watching videos for years trying to improve my chipping, but nobody has really talked about using the bounce of the club. This tip is an instant fix to those frustrating chip shots. Great tip! Thanks
Monte does.
This is the secret. Every pro does this. I watched pros do this at the memorial on the practice green. I always wondered how they did it. After watching for hours I finally figured it out. Great info
Bob Vokey MADE Mr. Shortgame?
Nice!
Love this tip! Really works for me!
This could be the best golf tip I’ve EVER gotten! Makes total sense! Otherwise why even think about bounce, right?! Brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Why do people keep calling things “chipping” lessons when they are for pitching? Chipping and pitching are two different things.
Great video this helped me a lot. I just started golfing last summer with my Dad, and there is nothing more frustrating then hitting a great tee shot and then hitting my wedge either 20 feet over the green or 5 feet in front of me.
Yeah but nothing better than golfing with your dad 😃
First off, you’re a Wild Man. Second, I saw some of your videos for the first time on Thursday, tried them on the course on Sunday, and it completely changed my approach and success. So thanks for all that!
” M o Bownccee y u u u u h
most struggle with chipping because the attack angle is not steep enough, also they do not rotate and they release their wrists…swing down until you hit the ball, try to hit the ground, and mostly “practice” !
감사합니다 ! 최고 !
Engage the bounce! Such a simple concept, but it helped my chipping. Thanks Mr. SG!
“.0
Love your videos! This chipping one is great. How do you control distances and know what club to use?
I think you confused pitching with chipping.…That looks like the definition of a pitch, it flies farther than it rolls.
Very basic tip but you explained it really well, loved the way you broke it down so simply. Going outside now to practice. Thanks.
I love this channel
I enjoy for entertainment, AND it absolutely has helped my game tremendously
Nice
I tried it and it helped me a lot
I was chipping just like he showed. Digging that leading edge in and rarely getting up and down. I opened the face and went to 60% on around the green saves. Now I fly it just short of the hole and stick the landing or throw it up and let it roll out on downhill chips. One tip made my short game a lot more fun.
Why is title chipping tip from Vokey but all I say was pitching??
Best game changing tutorial videos come from this channel. Thank you again.
Thank you for this tip. Have been struggling with high chip / pitch shot, also blading the shote
Song credit at 3:30?
Thank you. The ONLY thing preventing me being par or better is my short game – thirty yards or less to the green, I am always under the green or over the green or on the fringe of the green and have LONG putts which I end up two putting and I can’t figure out anything right now, so I’m taking a short game lesson on Tuesday. I am going to try this. I am really good with my driver, irons and woods, which, honestly, I kill with. It’s the short game and how to use my wedges (sand, utility and pitching) that is killing me. I subscribed to Mr. Short Game, so thank you for being out there – you’re easy to understand.
This lesson immediately saved me 4–5 strokes yesterday. I hit two buckets at the practice green focusing on opening the face, using a flatter swing plane, and keeping arms tight to my body. Wow!!! I got so much stabler. Keeping the arms close to the body is important. I chipped more like within 10 feet sometimes 3–4 feet. I went over hills on the green rather than around them due to confidence. As I practice this will save me 5 shots easily. I shot an 89 which I had never achieved before. Fewer putts as I was closer to pin. This is better than lessons I took in person for $200. Thank you man!!!
It just saved me 4–5 strokes off each hole!
I like it. I am always concerned that opening the face like that also points that face more to the right (right handed swing) and that I will have to aim my swing more left to compensate as in a trap shot. Any truth to this?
When you open the face do you have to aim/line up left to account for the face direction?
I wish I had your short game. My wife bought me an f9 driver in April for our anniversary. It is the best driver I have ever owned. I hit it great and long for a 55 year old fat man who has had five back surgeries. I drive it about 280–290 total but have found that because my short game is horrible I must use three and five woods off tee. Especially on par fours so that I have a full shot into greens.
What about position of the golf ball? In line front or back foot? Great video though, thank you !!
Great video
I wished to learn about appropriate Golf swing and the guide was the first guide I selected. Showcased in the guide are significant advices such as selecting the right club model and length depending on your arm length, height, and shoulder width. Through the training lessons in the guide, I‘m able to reduce my handicap to 15 from 22 in one year. I found this guide by Google. Name is Logan Ballοyshot
good
Great video right there 🏌️🇸🇪🙏👌
Whenever I open the face my balls go straight right, any pointers?
What club do I use I can’t chip for nothing always go to the right.….
I don’t know who to thank you or Bob? I really didn’t understand how the ground is forgiving and enables you to use the bounce. All I could conceive was on a tight lie blading the ball. No So apparently. Who Knew besides you and Bob? Thanks.
I feel like this might be an idiotic question, but how does the ball not go screaming to the right if I open the face? Seems like it would send the ball flying off line.…
I was not able to play for a month and practiced this and it worked great but then on the course I was stumped with uphill chips, ball above my feet and below my feet and things went back to ugly … HELP…
When I open up the face I usually hit the guy next to me at the range.
Don’t do this on Matts
RIP 🙏
So start aiming at the guy on your left!
Lol 🙂 you have to shut the face through contact. Otherwise it won’t work and there is a hugh chance of hitting the guy next to you xD. That counts nearly for every shot. Don’t hold the open club face through impact. Don’t block the club face, let it close. Think of having a table tennis racket in your hand. It is the same move.
Haha
Excellent lesson – thank you for sharing
Talk too much
This technique works great for perfect, consistent secondary cut or rough. When I play in soft, wet conditions or where the grass is inconsistent or longer, and try to open up the clubface and use the bounce I most often will chunk or sometimes even shank. What’s up?
Can’t chip if my life depending on it…„ keeps going right… then when I get to the ball …, can’t pull the trigger… cause I know it’s going to the right.…, any suggestions?
This technique has improved my chip and pitch tremendously thank you so much for sharing 🙏
Great Video, loved it !!
I tried it but shanked a couple of times. How to avoid this? Thanks.…
isnt that gonna change your loft angle then since youre making it more level with the ground when you opening it up
Do you change your aim? I feel that opening the club would make the call go more right.
If you wish to understand golf swings in details, you will find out about the strategies and secrets of right golf swings through the. The guide tells the precise abilities as well as swing tactics used by all golf tournament experts. I‘ve read 1/2 of this book and also the concepts are great. After figuring out the secrets, I tried it instantly and I scored low 80s rounds three times consecutively. You can discover this guide on Google. Name is Logan Ballοyshot
Right after studying these golf swing strategies and exercising the drills as I study, I went out and also shot a seventy three. Another achievement I‘ve made is hitting 13 of 18 greens in regulation. On the other five holes, I got close to hitting five to ten yards with the green. My handicap is a 9 so I do not shoot 73s all the time. It has been actually a very long time since I made an outstanding round.. You can find this guide on Google. Name is Logan Ballοyshot
With thanks
Mr Short Game, what grind do you use on your Volkey SM7 54 degree wedge.
Right after reading through the golf swing strategies and finishing it a week ago, I tried the guide’s advices on the field. I had been at it for 3 decades, but I was surprised that my swinging skills was still improved. Aside from that, the practice drills also helped fine-tune some small but crucial positions that I once thought didn’t mean much. I found this guidebook on Google. Name is Logan Ballοyshot
Take care
The same concept as using the sole on a fairway wood. A little fat at contact won’t kill ya.
After reading through the golf swing techniques and completing it last week, I tried the guide’s ideas on the field. Never imagined that after playing for 30 years, my swinging ability could still be enhanced. Aside from that, the practice exercises also helped optimize some small but crucial positions that I used to think didn’t matter. You can research this guidebook on Google. Name is Logan Ballοyshot
Hope
My dear Mr. Shortgame !
Your frenetic style of presenting makes me worry you will induce one of my migraines.…However l will love you forever because of your ” CHIP AND SLIDE ” lesson. It has transformed my short game !
THANKYOU , THANKYOU, THANKYOU !
Dennis Evans, Australia .
Does the amount of bounce on my wedges make a difference. I already have 12* of bounce on my 54 and 60 wedges. Would you recommend I still open them?
This guy reminds me of you. https://youtu.be/h98ML9cT-68
Hello! Awesome video. Do you mind if this video is shared to the country club members of various golf courses? We are doing a golf/tennis/health tip campaign for the beginning of 2021
Love the video…hope it works well for me! 🦾
Super helpful. Literal light 💡 bulb moment. Why has no or taught this before..!?!?
Not really helpful, as so many on opening faces are. That is, talk about opening the club and NOT mentioning the aim is now off right. OR is there some secret that your open face shots go straight? If so, again, why do most instructions leave this out or some mention in passing (1–2 seconds) say aim “bit” left. Bounce is good, your friend, that is why it is built into low lofted clubs even in a square normal shot as long as you do NOT lean the shaft forward. Also, why not play the ball more forward? Use bounce that way, i.e. partial flop shot but square?
I also use a weaker grip to keep the club face from closing. Thanks for the tip. I’m always forgetting this over the winter here in the north.
Not just weaker but lighter pressure. For me anyway works well
Subscribed.
Sounds easy enough.
How do you know what bounce is right for a player. I am the worst and I mean worst short game player on the face of the earth with a single digit hdcp. Help me become not the worst…
How do u stop from blading it off those hard lies ? I always hit it in the middle amd smack missles over the green
What do you think of the chipping technique of standing close to the ball with the club face tipped slightly onto the toe ? Thanks
Great video. Well put!👍🏌⛳🇺🇸😀
The uppity bean infrequently inject because meeting conversely point than a guiltless ground. lonely, faded forecast
MSG – you use a bit of wrist set/release in your pitching; pros/cons in your mind versus no wrist set i.e Jason Day/Stricker?
I like Mr. Short Game. He is very enthusiastic and really enjoys to teach. In this lesson he also show us how to move the shouders.
Great video! At Caddyboo we believe that both the right skills and the right mindset are crucial for a successful golfer. 💪 That is why to inspire golfers we created Caddyboo Doing What We Can’t film, check it out on our channel! 😍
This is so simple it is unbelievable – but yet so effective! It has changed and improved my short game beyond belief – Thanks and Regards, Rod Fox
Power control is what gets me 😩 so hard to not thin it when at a slow tempo
I always hit too the right when I open the face.
Great video, thank you! Maybe demonstrate on sand, close up even. It would should the exact slice into the ground as you’re describing; while lifting the edge.
Wouldn’t opening the face send the ball to the left if you’re right-handed? (I have zero golf experience)
Love the polo man! Where you get that at?
Whenever I do that I get a shank
good advice but not in the situation he is showing. This is 9 iron – 8 iron bump and run every time and you probably make a couple with as many as he hit.
try that when the ground is wet/soggy. You will hit it about a foot. You have to take a low loft club like a 7 iron and hit it with a putter stroke.
What about ball placement? When I chip off the green on those tight lies I usually set the ball back in my short stance, basically lined up with my back foot. That’s how I usually get a better spin on my chip shots. The only time I’ve really opened up my clubface on my wedges is when hitting out of the sandtrap. I’m always worried about shaking the ball to the right with an open clubface.
When doing this do I aim left a bit & still put more weight on my lead leg???
Love your work buddy.
what’s the bounce on your 54 degree. The amount of bounce obviously matters. You did not indicate the bounce. Thanks, you’ve helped me quite a bit.
When I try this I skull it, why?
How come you dont have a million subscribers? Another great video, thanks!
Great input. Awesome tip.👍🏌⛳🇺🇸😀
Do you have to aim left when you open the face
I love it when you say something insane and have that little snigger afterwards. In this instance the cart path comment. My chipping has come on so much this last few weeks and also I’m crunching my approach irons fairly consistently now so thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻
Nice
Great video. I can’t wait to try. Ad before you video sucked. Never got the slice tip. He kept saying “what I’m going to show you will change your game” but never got to the point.
By opening the face wouldn’t you have to adjust your aim point since the all would rend to go farther right?
Great stuff!!! Thanks
Mr. Short Game, I have been doing this for the past 2 years by accident! I have been playing the ball off my front foot and my weight on the left side and opening up my club face. I have been cutting across the ball with my 54 degree wedge and playing a small flop shot around the greens. It has worked amazingly! But I now know that it is because I have been opening up my wedges to allow the bounce to work! I even use this technique on my 40 to 50 yard shots, and just take one more club and play it higher!
Fully understand and will try, will let you know.
Alright , I can’t say thank you enough for this amazing tip . Watched it twice , went out to my backyard and it really works well . Now , to try it tomorrow on the course . Can’t wait ! Rodger Dodger
Love it 😍
Every time I open the club face like that, I end up sending the ball to the right! LOL!
@David Moss I did and I did stay straight but I popped the ball into the stratosphere and it went maybe 20 ft! LOL! 🙂
@Joel T that’s the point of opening the face lol
@David Moss I know! I just needed it to go a. Little further. I used a 58 degree sand wedge.
@Joel T you sound like you shoot in the 130’s
@Joel T what do you really shoot? I had my best of 91 today haha
Finally a chipping tip worth listening to…👍
Great video brother thanks again for your time and expertise!! What course are you playing in this video? Thanks it looks beautiful!!
You only have it half right. Despite Little Poison telling it like it is 50 years ago. https://youtu.be/fCy_-0zSHQg
It works for me, thanks.
Great video ‚thanks
Thanks !!!
This is a great tip that I need to keep reminding myself of
How much bounce do you recommend on your wedge?
Thank you! Before watching this, I watched your Mazel Chipper review. Eating an open face turkey sandwich now.
I have the exact wedge, awesome
👍❤️
If I’m not hitting a flop shot I put the ball back of my stance, hit down on the ball with the least amount of wrist action unless I need spin.
I find vokey wedge heads and shafts to heavy compared to the Cleveland RTX for instance
I’m new to golfing, but won’t this just shank the ball right?
What’s the difference between opening up the club and doing a flop shot? Isn’t that basically a flop shot which is higher risk?
Man I’m not good at golf by any means but I will have to try this, but usually if I try to open the face I scold the ball like crazy
That’s putter territory for me. lol
do you use the bounce on your sand wedge and pitching too from further out ? do you use it for bump and run . i saw a video for ratios with bump and run wondered if you watched and tried ?
What a expertly explained tip. THANK YOU!!!
Having a great game yesterday and the only place I fell short was my chipping, gained so many strokes just on bad chips, I hope this helps.
So what do I do when my fairways are like concrete in the middle of the summer? (I live in Indiana)
I’ve always preferred clubs with low bounce for chipping unless conditions are super wet. I often thin it if I open it up with a higher bounce club. My lob wedge has 4 degrees of bounce and it works out alright for me.
Opening up the club face is great though
If you open it up does it send the ball more to the right?
1:36, you’re welcome
Excellent video. Thank You.
Finally! Everyone says “you need to use the bounce”, but nobody says exactly how to do that. Took me years to figure out what that meant on my own and once you do it changes your whole game. For anyone watching though, how he finishes is very important too, beyond “using the bounce”. This is especially good for 50y and under pitches imo. Good tips 🙂
Common knowledge…. Hey practice… I know it’s stupid… but it might help, just trying to help…
Rustic Canyons!!!!
I will know this afternoon if this works blading as I refer to it baseballing it as my short game lately looks like Im trying for a grandslam thanks.
this video might save my life!
When I played a lot of golf I could get the ball up and down from the ball washer. I hit everything with an open face from 100 yards in. Guys would ask me why I did that and I couldn’t really tell them why, but I rarely missed a chip, pitch or 100 yard wedge. I played with soft covered balls and I always achieved the flight I wanted, whether it was high, low or usually quite medium height and the ball grabs on the second or third hop and it’s like throwing darts at a board. Your tip just reminded me, a now 64 yr old geezer, of how I used to execute those shots and I’m looking forward to my next round of golf to emphasize this “rule” and see how I do. (I don’t play much anymore and my short game has really suffered.)
I call it blade anxiety. I always think I will blade it
This for me is the best chipping tip I’ve ever used. I’ve been playing golf for 30 years and scrounged around the greens the whole time. This works, just took it down the park to see. The consistency of the strike is unbelievable,even off the tightest and dirtiest lies. You can hear the sound of the strike is so much better. Along with the swing plan tip, I thank you. This will turn my game back around.Looking forward to trying this one on the chipping green. Thanks again.
Wonderful! Thank you!
does this same principle apply to longer wedge shots?
Thank you. I think you should add that you should open the face, then grip the club, not by addressing the ball and fanning the club face open.
Great tip! Love this video, and can see immediate positive results.
You ROCK!!!
Love it , try it out tomorrow 👍
Short game around the green is my issue. Ill practice this thanks
Awesome and simple lesson. Excited to try this today at the range. I am a serial blader:{
Thank sir, great tip.
This was fantastic. Immediately turned me into a good chipper this week. But yesterday I ran into a problem. Course was very soft due to overwatering, and when I tried to use the bounce the club, 60 degree wedge, sucked into the turf and I chunked the shots. After 4 of these I concluded the turf must be firm enough or this won’t work. Afterward I thought about using my putter to chip in these conditions but would like your thoughts. Or maybe just swing faster?
I learned that seem tip from Leadbetter
Excellent information!!!!
Great Demonstration. I will try adjusting my swing to use the bounce more. I really only used the bounce in greenside bunkers.
Hands forward and lean forward has helped me a lot
I’d love to see the ground and ball contact up close in super slowmo
Love watching your vids,been struggling with chipping on and off for a while,gunna try it.When I was young I’d chip in mum’s yard,a real ball(B51 small ball) lol,tennis ball,and a golf practice ball with holes in it,got so good I’d go out front and chip real balls with a 56’iron over the house into the backyard ‚big front windows 20ft in front of me,then started doing it to the neighbours house„made me confident in any situation,could fly the club under the ball as fast as I wanted,30yrs though of coming and going-dimmed my confidence ‚so I’m gunna do as u say,back to basics..hope I didn’t bore u bruva,love golf,love your vids..
I’ve had 3 sets of sm5s But what does the SM stand for???
I have watched several of Your videos. This one here has changed My game! You touch on this in other Vids as well. I practice off tight lies and use the bounce ! I have taught this to friends too. Its the real deal! A Must have skills set! Thanks again Brochocho!
It is difficult to see your set up in this video. Appears feet close together but are hands slightly forward or centered. Is ball placement centered between feet or inside front heel? And since you are opening club head should I compensate by aiming slightly left for a right handed golfer?
Yup tried this last week just wondered what would happen. Totally shocked hitting up to 2″ behind the ball. Perfect loft. Had no idea.
I started using the ideas presented in this video 2 years ago and it has helped lower my scores significantly. Listen, there are lots of you tube videos out there, but Matt’s are by far the best! His instructions are easy to understand and implement! Thanks Matt for helping me play the best golf of my life in my 60’s.
THANK YOU so much. I’ve watched countless videos on chipping, but this is the first time anyone has pointed out that opening the wedge brings the leading edge higher ( duh), and that ‚for folks like me that naturally swing down a bit, that results in a perfect strike. That makes things so much clearer for me.. I cannot wait to get to the range and work with this!!!!
I have done this for 25 plus years. It has saved me many a par
Great tip
I have used this technique with my 4 iron under a tree 🌲 to pitch a 6” high ball back on to the green so not to hit the tree limbs hanging down at 5’ from the ground. I am having fun making my 4 iron any pitch I want to meet my needs.
Hi there, just love so much your tutorials and my game got from 105 to 90 and below. Still looking for some improvement on any aspects of the game. The big frustration I have hitting the ground before the ball and sometimes hitting with the shaft wen I open the wedge. Let me know what you advise. The practice swing is perfect, but on the Strock the ball move is not the same. Thanks, Nick
This simply works! Contact is very consistent. Working on distance control now.
You’re becoming my favorite bro 😎
New to the Channel. Great videos. Keep it up.….Thank you
This has improved my game so much. A light bulb moment. My only issue is that the occasional shank slips in now and then and then I get anxious over the next shots. Any idea what may be causing the shanks?
I am amazed. Will try it out. Thanks a million
Awesome tip but I already new this and have been doing it for decades … I vote you the number one channel on youtube … Those other clown channels on youtube ( robinson , sheils , etc) do not hold a candle to you my friend …unfortunately there subscribers are lost in a sea of mis-information cause they dont know better … I refer everybody to your channel that I know …Why? , cause my 40 years playing golf tells me you know your stuff and this video is spot on Mr Short Game … Folks , listen to this man !
When you open the face do you have to aim more to the left?
What if you’re on hard pan? Would think bounce not your friend with that lie… maybe close the face then?
Killer tip..MSG..luv from Canada.
Thank you, changed my short game!! 👍👍
I’ve been playing golf for a week and can drive 200 but my short game is god awful thanks for this
Are you aiming left? Wont that push it right?
I watch 2 golf coaches, one is more “reserved” but you’re more “fun” and informative to watch. Thanks!
Mr. Coffee 😜
Awesome
Playing in a scramble this Saturday in Sunrise, Florida. I will let you know how opening the face works out. Thank you for all the great tips.
This is nice refresher before the season starts. Thanks Matt for all you do!
i’ll try it thnx!
Great explanation bro on why the bounce is designed the way it is because the ground gives way slightly. I’ve been an absolutely horrific chipper until just a few days ago and I learned to do what you’re saying but I’m doing it on the downswing letting it come in open but I feel like I’m using the toe of the club only. Gliding under the ball beautifully. Appreciate the info
Great tip. Simple but makes a big difference
That lesson is, as you quite rightly pointed out, the opposite of how I usually think about chipping. Must get out there and practice it. Cheers
I forgot I watched this vid a few weeks ago. I’ve gotten pretty adept at pinching the ball with my pitch & chip shots, striking down on the ball first & taking the slightest hint of a divot in front of the ball in order the ball sputters on the 2nd bounce, then rolls out ( hopefully ) up to the hole, but I’m going to put this ’new’ suggestion to the test in an upcoming round. I’ll get back with the results with an added / edited testimony within the ‘2nd leg’ of this very comment, like right.…
Brilliant and thanks for this really great tip. I do struggle with this aspect and get scared to chip around greens as I often stuff it up. Thanks all the other videos.
My anxiety after opening the face is how it appears to change direction-as if ball will fly right. How do you open the face but still grip and direct ball flight correctly ?
Thank you. Just teaching myself n the kids golf.
Learning how to use the bounce is a huge game changer when it comes to consistency
just curious would this apply to a hybrid pw as well?
