Shawn, your explanation of how the ball slides up an open face is fascinating. It looks from what I can see that with the face open you are not taking an open stance. I recently had a lesson on short pitches around the green where I was somewhat short sided and wanted some spin and not a lot of roll. I was told to take an open stance and swing along the line of my feet, with an open face aimed at my intended landing spot. You seem to get the chip going where you want it to with an open face but not an open stance. As you showed Mu, a key element in this is to swing straight back along the target line, not around and behind. I will definitely work on the way you show. One other thing that came up in my lesson, which perhaps is gremlin number four to add to the three in my first comment, the pro noticed that even though I thought I was keeping the face open toward the target, I had an unconscious tendency to roll the toe over and a bit closed. The solution was to keep my left or lead wrist a bit cupped or flexed at the snuff box as you show in almost every video. So as I contacted the ball and continued to swing through my palm would be very slightly facing down, whereas if I had a straight or slightly flexed lead wrist, the back of my hand would be turned very slightly down. That would send the chip or short 10-15 yard pitch low and left. Tiny little things but they can make a huge difference.
@@golflessons I’m a little jealous of this! I swear if I ever win the lottery I’ll be coming from the UK to live somewhere nearby 😆 I’d happily give up everything to see if you could get me from 7 to scratch lol
The best teacher of any subject, not just golf. As a former yipper, I can tell you that this truly is where wisdom lies. My only question is, you always aim either right or left of your intermediate spot, Shawn. Why is this? Why not choose one that's dead on line? Thanks for another great video!
Thanks Adrian! And yes, if the IP is on the line, it is totally fine to go over it. We do right and left for fade and draw for full swings; left for bunkers and flop shots as these are fades...
Dead on again, Shawn!!! Love how you keep firm wrists, rock the arms, and ALLOW the body to turn in sync. Too many people get robotic, and stiff with their hips, and legs. This causes their chips to get choppy looking, and make for poor contact. Absolutely love how you describe "feels" to people. The greatest guitarists play with "feel", instead of robotic technique. It's how our brains perform at the highest level!!!
The more you open the face, the more the leading edge of the club comes off the ground and the less likely it is to catch into the ground or into the grain on bermuda

Very useful. Muffed short chips probably add more strokes to the mid handicapper’s score than errant drives. At least that’s my experience. One of the evil gremlins lurking to hurt your score is a right (trail) wrist that you pleaded with to remain calm and relaxed and bent back (in extension) but that suddenly as if possessed flicks at the ball, blading it so it runs over the green leaving you to repeat the shot. Next is the gremlin that, even if you have more weight on your left or lead leg, causes the club to chunk into the ground behind the ball, which hops like a toad and either stays in the rough so you can try again or barely makes it onto the green, leaving a long put that will take two and maybe three strokes to get in the hole. Instant double bogey. I always wonder if this might be due to dropping the right or trail shoulder more than I realize, thus putting the bottom of the swing arc further back. One other gremlin is forgetting that hitting a short high pitch from the semi rough near the green takes more swing energy (momentum) than the same shot you practiced on the driving range mat. Yet we often do just the opposite, chicken out and give it less energy. To make it worse, we forget to check whether the ball is sitting up in the semi rough or down. This is critical because wedges are built with most mass low down so full energy is delivered when the strike is on the second and third grooves from the bottom. When the strike is in the middle of the face or a groove or two higher, you lose a lot of the energy and the shot will not go as far. So if the ball sits up, just a half inch or so, the bottom of your swing will be under the ball, the strike will be higher up on the face, and your pitch will come out woefully short even though you thought you had made enough of a backswing based on your practices at the driving range off the mat. Again, instead of the ball ending up in one putt range, you now face two or even three putts. If you doubt this, look at the grass stain on your wedge face next time you can’t believe your pitch was short.
Shawn, I remember your Goldilocks momentum drill many many years back. I always incorporate it when I’m uncertain about how much swing I should use in my chip and it makes all the difference! Glad to see it being revisited here. Cheers!
Goldie Locks is the golfer’s best friend and it was introduced to me by a good friend by the name of David Ogrin, the PGA Texas LaCanterra Open Champion in 1996. He has a killer short game!

Awesome video! Thanks guys! Always wondered how pros on tv could have face so open and the ball not go right (for right handed players)...can't wait to try this...short sided with fast greens will not be as scary if I can perform this shot :)
My problem is chipping on the super tight lies on Bermuda fairways. If I have a little grass to prop the ball up I'm pretty good but when I get on a super tight lie it is ugly.
Hey Shawn, love the videos !! Keep them coming! I gave up on golf 3 years ago after playing for 27. But I'm back baby and that's because of you.

Just open the face! The leading edge will come off the ground and the trailing edge will keep the sole from digging like a stone skipping on water! Then make sure you are using pure momentum to execute the chip; just the weight of the arms and club like a sledge hammer. GET ONE AND PRACTICE SWINGING BACK AND FORTH WITH IT; you can’t shove or place a sledge, you simply get out of it’s way and let it do the work.
Great video gang! It makes sense. Overall; however, I'm confused and don't know what method to focus on. According to one of the all-time best chippers, Paul Runyon, that shot would be played like a put -- prolly with an upright 6 iron off the toe, middle of the stance to eliminate backspin with a straight back, straight forward swing. Dave Peltz suggests a similar action with the ball more so in the middle of the stance. Watson and Crenshaw were great pitchers and chippers too. I guess a variation that feels comfortable and yields consistent results should be the winner. I really dig the "intermediate" trick! My friends think I've developed a passion for dandelions since I talk about them a lot now.
Hi Jonathan. If all the people you talked about had a full understanding of anatomy, neurology and the human self preserving system, and then applied this to 35 years of full time teaching (I also have a descent playing background as well) they would be much closer to what I do and teach. A stadium full of feedback from students during this time does help as well.
This goes against everything Phil Mickelson talks about in his free short game video on UA-cam other than the ball position. What’s your take on his philosophy?
He NOW does everything I teach in this video!! If you watch a recent corporate clinic he gave on youtube just this year, he does not do what he was teaching in the Phil Short game app...AT ALL.
In others words, a putting stroke - and BTW - ALL of your club positions are forward press, all of the time, at least in the videos I've seen, including this one. I've never seen any other instructor advise the stance that I see in these videos - arm and club in one alignment creates a heavy forward press at address - and I dont believe anybody on tour plays like that do they? I'm not critiquing as its not my place, I love your videos, just sharing an observation....
Hey Shawn, love seeing you hitting chips off a nice grassy lie,(easy to do).

How to make the right club selection?
See an oldie but goodie called chipping strategies shawn clement
which club were you guys using for short chips . ???
Lob wedge!
What about sparce grass. LOOSE Sandy soil shots, or very thick wet grass?
What club is preferred for this? 60 deg?
definitely the preferred club for short chips around the green; if you want more roll, then use less loft.
In chipping do you still promote a strong grip? Or weaker than normal? Thanks!
Weaker! Lag stays the same throughout which makes it different.
OMG loved this video. Heading out to play 18 right now. Going to test these techniques! You’re all AWESOME 🙏🏻

What wedge degree is correct to use around the green?
All!!! Depends on the golf course and the size of the greens as well as the firmness of the greens.
@@golflessons Is there a rule for which wedge to pick?
@@carollee-garcia6107 best combo to pick is the Callaway Jaws MD 5; this will give you all the options around the greens and arm you to the teeth for scoring potential:
50-52 degres in the S-grind, 10 degree bounce (Chipping and pitching)
54-56 degres in the W-grind, 12 degree bounce (chipping, pitching and fluffy sand)
58-60 degres in the C-grind, 8 degres bounce (chipping, open faced chipping, pitching, flop shots and firm sand)
Check your PW or AW for the loft on it online and then choose the next loft at 4 degres more;
are you keeping the same grip for these shots?
chipping should not have as closed a face or as strong a grip; the kinetic chain is for tossing and mot throwing.
So good
What degree wedge do you use to chip those shots???
60 degrees loft, 6 to 8 degrees bounce, and a dual sole grind like the C-grind of Callaway, or the M grind of Titleist or the TS grind we have on Ping wedges.
Great lesson. It is better if at least one associate is Right handed so I can relate to more easily
Good stuff
