😲 I have watched a lot of videos on chipping. Keep arms straight, use a putting motion, keep your wrist quiet... Then I watched this video and it was like an epiphany. I grabbed my sand wedge and headed to the course and practiced from 50 yards in. From the first swing onward, boom dead on, hitting from the fairway, the rough, and over obstacles. Distance control was pretty easy, good height, ball stopped on a dime. None of that was working for me before.
Nice!
yea, that works for the short chips but not longer ones
Mickelson is a natural teacher. No waffle, just the important advice imparted in simple terms
Legend has it, that to this day Phil is still showing it again
He’s a legend regardless of what people say.
I agree 💯 %
This is undeniable
Totally
People say he's a legend
@@mikecollon100 Your mum.
People can say what they will about Phil but to us Left handed golfers this is the most helpful, least confusing golf content on UA-cam
Phil makes it look so easy.
This is a fantastic video. Clear concise verbal explanation with the minimal of words. Most importantly are the sweet strokes of Mikelson repeated over and over and over to etch in the student's fragile eggshell brain. So many videos start with a lengthy explanatoin about how "not" to do it before finally getting to the fix. Phil just cuts to the chase. Love this guy!!!
Great Jim Morrison reference tucked in there! Lol.
Real
Thanks don. Exactly what I was going for when I was editing. The back to back swing footage of the different distances wasn't even in the original. Glad you liked it. BTW part 2, 3, and 4 are uploaded. Links are in the description. Cheers
He breaks things down so good, it’s quick but you understand it instantly, always been one of my fav’s as a kid
Most people don't realise that Mickelson golf years was dominated by Tiger Woods. He's been runner-up in Majors a staggering 15 times. He is a phenomenon in golf.
Yup. The best of the elite in other sports are guilty of this as well. Jordan did it to Ewing and the Knicks, Isaiah Thomas and the Pistons. History would be a lot different without them. And Phil would likely have more wins and majors under his belt.
@@Thisizmyname the Bad Boys beat MJ's Bulls three times in the playoffs before finally losing in their fourth playoff match up. MJ hardly dominated Isaiah's Pistons. A better example would be Stockton/Malone's Jazz.
Literally everyone watching this video realizes that.
I love these videos but I can’t be the only one that gets on the course and forgets all this 😂
Youre not i forget the most basic things I think I have down. Like ball off tbe front foot or the rear foot.
@@eadams1057 sometimes I even forget the ball in my pocket. Lol
A free lesson from one of the best. I will watch and learn.
Making the short game swing repeatable and scalable makes the shots more consistent. Thanks!!!
These lessons have been the best i have personally found. His style best suits my game. Great stuff
I must watch the chipping 101 video twice a week.
Thanks jmerritt. I have part 2, 3, and 4 uploaded. Links are in the description.
Absolutely changed my ability to chip better. So simple. Why didn’t I see this before.
This is a fantastic tutorial. Clear, concise, and truly demystifies what has been, for me, the most difficult shot. Thanks
Couldn't agree more...this video is a game changer.
Can't beat these instruction videos. Simple direct and understandable. Keep making them.
Thank you Sir. I uploaded part 2, 3, and 4 today.
the one thing about Phil's swing (and all good players) is how consistent, simple and repeatable it is. The reason he can still contend into his 50's is that he hasn't destroyed his knees and back putting too much pressure on his body. Still love this guy.
Ye he's in his 50's and still got 2nd place at the masters
@@Laceh1 yeah, and he had a 10-stroke swing between his Sat. & Sun. rounds.
Love it. Straight and to the point. The way all of these golf tip videos should be made. No lad with an English accent making bombastic boasts or exuberantly trying to convince you they reinvented the wheel. Just quickly get on top of the ball and start demonstrating like Phil just did and get out. ⛳️
Oh christ the English clickbait bullshit videos all over youtube make me wanna claw my eyes out. ONE TIP 99% OF GOLFERS DON'T KNOW ABOUT!
No better teacher of the short game.
Great video and clear instructions Thanks Phil I appreciate it
i've been using phil's method for years and it works, very simple.
The best short game l had seen, keeping it simple for a simple mind like mine.
Lead us to the promised land Phil! Your lessons are easy to follow, relevant and from the master of short game! Always watch, they always help me improve!
man after a couple days of watching and applying the tips in Phil's chipping videos my game has seriously improved...I can comfortably smack my 60 degree all day in the backyard now
(about a week ago I shanked the ball perfectly into a light fixture that should NOT have been in play)
😆 classic. I'm glad to hear your positive range report... Your neighbors car windows are Glad too. 🍻
@@therealgolfsecrets
What club us he or should we use , generally , looks like pw ,looks like same club regardless of distance ?
Phil you are the best!! So good to see your videos again!!
The best chip shot lesson ever.
Reminds me so much of Seve's short game. Another master at work !
FatClyde, I couldn't agree more.
phil is a fantastic coach, thanks.
Glad you liked it brokewar. Part 2,3,and 4 are uploaded. Links are in the description. Thanks for commenting. Cheers
I had a chance to meet this legend golfer of our era during USA Open 122 at Bostan for which I specially travelled from Pakistan.
I really love Phil's game, style, passion, and humbleness.
I am an ardent follower of his teaching. Because of following his short game tips/style, I won 3 majors in Pakistan within two months period. Love this post.
I have an intense desire to meet him again 🎉
Besides excelling in the short game, he is an extremely fan friendly ❤
A really good teacher!
This HINGE AND HOLD method works great for me. TY, TY, TY Phil Mickelson and Golf Secrets for bringing this to me and my game. GAME CHANGER
200 yard shot:
“So this is just an extension of that 50 yard shot”😂
Chipping around the greens is the hardest part of Golf!
Hit it fat, thin thru the green we have all done it! This
is the way to go, But NO tension soft hands and arms!
Phil is the Master Chipper!
Great instruction and practical example. Handy watching a left hander making it easier to copy.
This was actually incredibly useful
Love Phil total legand❤
Great video. Thank you.
Light bulb 💡 moment! Pure gold!
I started using “hinge and hold” last year and it really helped. This old dog learned a new trick.
Yup, been using it for a couple of years and it works. Also saw a short video with Roger Cleveland and he was talking about using the bounce of a wedge ti slide the club under the ball.
Hey Drums, I uploaded part 2, 3, 4 here ua-cam.com/play/PLfdOnzi9L6wG_bNq8w5SvrLmRZcQoIdJg.html
Excellent. Thanks for sharing
I learned more watching his videos than any lesson that I have taken
Phil’s pitching and chipping techniques work great. For me I have to swing following the angle my open stance and keeping myself behind the ball. Not leaning ahead of the ball.
Thanks Phil!
Phil is a great teacher.
Excellent instructional video.
Never decelerate into the ball, always accelerate into the ball to ensure a proper strike.
The loft of the wedge will do the rest.
If the amount of backswing taken is correct, the ball should then reach the desired yardage.
Shorten the backswing slightly if playing on faster greens, as deemed appropriate.
Why are you instructing us?😆😂🤣
Thanks Phil, that's a lot of my game.
Always feel intimidated from that far out. 😊😊
I've been doing this since last year. Amazing! Since I have really bad drives, I get the privlege of chipping most holes. This is the trick! Thanks Phil.
Awesome Aaron. Part 2, 3, and 4 are up now. Sounds like you are ready to start mastering part 3 (chipping softly around the green). Links are in the description. Thanks for watching and commenting Sir.
Really helpful. Thank you.
you can see why he had a chance to win the masters even at his age now!
Show me again
The man, the legend. Great vidja.
Modern day Lee Trevino...same pleasant disposition...true fan favorite
I ❤️ Phil because he's fan friendly
Video rất hay, xin cám ơn
This is awesome. Thanks so much for posting it
thanks Kedbuka, I uploaded part 2,3, and 4 ua-cam.com/play/PLfdOnzi9L6wG_bNq8w5SvrLmRZcQoIdJg.html
So many videos say not to break your wrist. I think Ill listen to Phil.
It is a safer way of doing it
yeah, use a putting stroke......pfffft, no thanks, I will continue to do it like Phil.
Yes, a legend, & maybe the most pedagogic(teaching) philanthropy Phil ever made! Endorsements, gambling, & winnings not included!
Thank you 🙏🏼 man that’s cool 😎 slightly longer impact and bigger swing great 👍
I would listen to this guy…💝👍
Been trying this and it works.
Phil has every shot
Absolute legend!!!!
love phill no matter where he plays
Great video even better demonstration I need to practice this immediately
Hows chipping practice going? I have part 2, 3 and 4 uploaded. Links are in the description.
@@therealgolfsecrets I’ll get back to you I’m having a health issue
@@robertmazzarachio7939 I'm sorry to hear that Rob. 🙏
@@therealgolfsecrets thanks appreciate the thought, I hope I find out something when I see the cardiologist on Monday
He makes it look SO easy. IT IS NOT EASY
Bravo Mickhelson ...🎉🎉🎉
Absolute legend
Even Tiger envies Phil's short game.
I can watch Phil chipping all day long. 😂
Takes a bit of time to master, but once you do,
This is a game changer believe me!
To be combined with the forward ball position as shown - which promotes the shallow (skimming) entry that Phil is demonstrating.
I should have found this earlier😅
The most important thing he said is DO NOT DECELERATE! I believe he said just accelerate through but if u simply have don't decelerate in your brain your chips, pitches, putts, and full swing will be better. Period.
Probably the only guy who can say, "Heavens no!" and still sound cool.
Lol
Wow! All I can say is wow!
Hey abuhamza thanks for the comment. Part 2, 3, and 4 are up and links are in description. It will be a "try not to say wow challenge" for ya. Cheers
I’ll show you again
i think the ending montage needs to show one more time for full effect
Notice how his stance gets slightly wider as he the shot gets longer. To provide better balance for the longer swing, I would think.
Learn from the best I say 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I may be wrong but it appears that Phil’s wedge and putter are cut down. I was taught the closer the hands to the ball the more feel which is paramount for distance control.
Legend
I'll show you again
Dude just landed like 25 straight balls inside 3 ft. Kinda explains why he's had so much success.
People just need to practice and experiment more by themselves. I discovered this same technique on my own because I also break wrist right away always and then I experimented with holding it. The only problem is there are no true short game practice areas from what I can tell(I am new golfer). Every range I went to has only small chipping area. Luckily I go to this one small par 3 course that used to have range but now only short game area and I can practice all the way up to 100 yards shots on it. I have been there dozen times now and I am only one using it everytime which tells me people really dont practice pitching and long chipping. I am not complaining though since I get to be there for hours all by myself😊
Nice! I have a similar short game area at my range (75 and 50 yards). Nobody is ever on it and I'm def not complaining either :) How is your bunker play? I would watch Phil Micklelsons bunker lesson videos if you haven't yet (must watch if you hinge and hold). Go to Phil Mickelsons playlist on this channel and scroll down untill you see "The bunker part 1". Long ashes to ya Sir.
Makes it look so easy chipping with a 60 degree wedge. That club won't come out my bag unless I'm in a sand trap. A PW or 9 Iron is the only club I can chip with and have consistency.
Really? I love my 60. It took awhile but it's my fav club now and use it for all these shots. What trouble do you have?
@@cloubriel83 Hitting in square while chipping, I've practice with it on the rough just outside the green and have had it shoot off to the right and thinned it a number of times. Fantastic club in a bunker just outside the green. My go to to flop it onto the green with a hard swing.
if I'm in deep grass just outside the green and need to go about 10 yards to the flag highest I'll pull out is a 56. Probably even go with a gap wedge. A 60 degree wedge you have to make perfect contact or you don't know where the ball is flying off to.
Well, you shouldn't really chip with a 60 degree wedge unless you need to fly the ball most of the way to the hole. I mean, it would need to be a specific scenario in which you need a high, soft shot. There's very little bounce on a 60, so it's very easy to duff and/or get way under the ball (leading to a little pop up out of longer grass that goes nowhere).
In his pomp, Phil had an amazing short game. Imagination and execution of the shot were fantastic. Can’t say for sure he was the best ever, but surely among the top 3 or 5. (Seve, Tiger have to be in the mix. Jack Nicklaus must have been brilliant to win that much?)
woods did not have the short game Phil has. Woods didn't even have the short game that John Daley has.
Phil will win another major
I have watched videos explaining why this doesn't work, but those videos severely exaggerate the holding of the hinge.
Phil doesn't hold the hinge, he just doesn't let the club face pass the hands through the ball.
Anything beyond a pitch...this is the only method that works for me, and it does in fact allow me to use the bounce.
You are correct Sir. His lead arm and club are in a straight line at the finish. If he held his wrist hinge that "finish" would be impossible to achieve.
I agree! Someone, a hater, is always trying to discount Phil's play. They show why it doesn't work; well they do not do it like Phil. Golfers that cannot make this shot have no idea where the bottom of their swing arc is. I have used this method for quite a while now and I love it. Very easy to judge distance. Also really like Phil's relaxed way of teaching. Phil doesn't talk about how many way's armatures screw up a golf shot for 15 minutes before he shows what he is teaching. I do not need to know 30 different ways that am's mess up a shot, just show me the friggin shot! Teach like Phil, cut to the chase!
yup, players that cannot make this technique work are not using the bounce. They say they dig.....well, that means you are coming in too steep and not letting the club flatten out at the bottom of the arc. Brush.....don't dig!
I’m putting that.
I prefer to use different clubs with less change in the swing. Between a 60 with no wrist doing 10m, I only need to add wrist action and go to a 48 to make it 50m. I also have 6 other defined yardage between those, all with the same size swing. For someone who doesn't have the touch that Phil does in feeling the length of the backswing, it's a much more consistent approach.
Phil, what drives all those chips? The lead hand or power hand? Thanks for the great lesson. Anyone can answer this if you like.
Try the hand that you can chip one handed the best with.
Don't worry about it. Concentrate on the movement, especially the finish, and don't over think it.
your lead hand because you use it to sweep across the ball. Power hand is there to pull the lead hand into the correct position for releasing into the sweep
Yep this swing is great for 75 yarders and in personally. My question is at what distances do you start going full with more release of the wrists/club? For example a 100 yarder can be a full 54 for me or I also like using like an 80% pitch wedge. But should I still hinge and hold for an 80% P wedge?
Well if you want the ball flight low and the ball to release and run on the green to a back pin then hinge and hold that 80% pw. If you want the ball to stop on a dime on the green then do your full 54. It all depends on what you want the ball to do.
❤️
Thanks Phil
gold
Yes,we are know golf,because you you and you
Do the pros tend to use the same wedge for all their chip shots around the greens? I have three wedges and sometimes i start confusing myself.
He’s using the 60 for bunker flops and chips. I think he is demonstrating you can rely on the bounce of this wedge for any shot. Obviously this wedge is the more challenging but you are correct it’s confusing.
No, they chip with anything from a open 60 to a 9 iron. It just depends on the shot. If they have alot of green to work with and they want the ball to run and release they could chip with a lower lofted club, like a 52 degree gap wedge for example. If they want the ball to land softer and stop quicker then a 60 degree would be used. Phil goes over all this in How to chip part 3. Go to Phil Mickelson's playlist on this channel and scroll down to find all of the chipping lessons from Phil.
Can you show me again?
Yeah they pasted the same footage
@@amfohr Can you say that again?
@@TySatterlee
😂
Heavens no.
So, when do you use the bounce of 60 wedge ? In a thick grass?
The bounce will be used everytime the club head contacts the ground. The bounce keeps the leading edge from digging into the ground.
Phil is the real GOAT. But yall aint ready for that conversation
Wrong. No one will surpass Nicklaus as the GOAT.
El Tigre Woods es el GOAT
I love Phil, but by no metric is he the GOAT
Thanks Phii, but how do we obtain your pure unadulterated talent?
Get to work! Don't be a spectator! Talent is one thing...work is quite another. Good luck!
