+Neal Bocian - Thanks Neal... you're welcome and best wishes to you as well. Fairways & Greens, and if not, you'll be ready to show off your short game :-)
Mr RollYourRock may I ask do the tour pros really chip with a 9 iron or maybe even a Pitching wedge because I thought they just brought out a 60 degree for every shot around the greens? Or is Brad really just directing this to the amateur golfers.Thank you very much for your videos sir!
You're welcome... yes, Faxon has one of the best short games ever, and is equally entertaining while he explains both fundamentals and finer points. Have a great year...
One question- when your chipping, and your feet are close together but opened along with your shoulders, where is the ball positioned in your stand- love your lessons brad-
+Neal Bocian - I recommend setting up with your feet evenly balanced and close together, with no more than four or 5 inches separating your heels. Keep your back foot square to the target line, but pull your front foot back a few inches and flare it out toward the target at about 45˚. This "flared" lead-foot position will aid your balance in the finish and allow your shoulders to remain relatively level as they rotate through the ball, both of which are necessary for great finesse wedge play. One a standard trajectory shot, play the ball a few inches inside your back foot. You've gotten it right if, after soling your wedge on the ground, the shaft leans 3 to 7˚ toward the target. You're probably leaning that shaft forward already, but only because you made the mistake of straightening your lead arm, which creates both tension and shoulder tilt. Neither it is good for consistent contact or a soft touch.

You have to remember the pros play on much faster greens... however, there are many pros that will chip with a 4-iron through a LW.
Thanks for these, really great instruction.

Good point about the upper body leading the through swing and a reason it's not a good idea to practice this part of your game excessively.
agree👍

Got it- but where is the ball positioned in your stand ? Middle or back?
+Neal Bocian - 2nd paragraph, first sentence.
Thank you!!
He would make an awesome golf teacher, maybe Tiger should consult with him.
Tiger is doing ok now.
I learned this off old guys when I was a kid I can go from pw to 6 iron depending on distance nice action he's got
This stuff is Gold... some old guys actually know some things. :)

Do you think he's trying to get the point across to "let it run the rest of the way" ?
Get rid of that Golf Channel dufus. Thank you.
