I’d love to see more in-depth videos that get into different lies and types of chip shots. Also what lofts you would recommend for different types of shots.
Exactly…the only real problem I have is when the ball is sitting on top of a fluffy grass lie and my club has enough room to basically go underneath it or maybe maybe make contact with the top 3 grooves
The sweep/bounce concept was a game changer. Chipping is about the only thing I have confidence in now. Would like to see a video on ball striking especially with 7-9 & P irons including common pitfalls and their solutions (low hard slice, chunking, weak distance)
Single digit handicap Canadian here. Great video man, I've been thinking about chipping a lot lately... After playing for 20+ years I think chipping may be one of the hardest parts of golf for new players. You can accidently hit good shots and even fluke putts in, but it's pretty dang hard to fake a chip shot. Especially if you have to put some air under it. Growing up in Canada I was lucky my Dad let me cut a makeshift green in the backyard. Couldn't putt on it but great for chipping. I can't say how many but I probably hit tens of thousands of chips over a few years. Chipping and pitching is the best part of my game now surprise surprise. Here's a tip for newer golfers. If you want to really lower your scores learn to chip and putt better. Get them reps in! Cheers
I wanted to personally thank you for putting out this video! I am a perpetual 16-17 handicapper that has struggled with chipping/pitching for years. I took this advice to the range and the course and today, for the first time EVER, shot even par over 9 holes. I am still having trouble processing this. TBH, I figured out a couple of things with my driver as well, but the chipping/pitching has seen by far the largest improvement. Single digits, here I come! Thanks again.
If you've been golfing for years and you're stuck at 16 HC - this stuff here is probably where you're losing strokes. 70% of golf is within 140 yards. Like you said, you shot even par on front 9. You're probably a true 6 HC if you stop losing strokes around the green.
Hi Grant, since driving ranges don't simulate uphill and downhill lies can you make a video on where the ball needs to be in the stance, how your aim point changes, clubbing up/down, and overall on the course tips since its near impossible to practice? Keep up the great content and even better golf!
Great video Grant. Some of the things that I would like to see are: 1) Full swing and how to move away from the ball and not sway 2) Compare the modern versus traditional bunker techniques 3) Setup and alignment with ball position for driver versus irons 4) Tee height for fairway finder 5) Putting philosophy, being a feel player versus mechanical 6) How to hit irons high, low, fade or draw 7) Course management, how to score and think around the course
Your demeanor and knowledge make you an ideal teacher. I'm impressed with your presentation. Big muscles and a sweeping motion are the keys to chipping. Keep it simple! How about an episode on the adjustments senior golfers should make to enhance their golfing experience?
You can't teach a personality trait. I never get upset on the golf course, and am in a good mood. Some people break clubs. Not much he can say to make you "think properly" just relax and move on.
@@pt9373 I find some of my playing partners who are scratch players have a different mindset when it comes to playing the game. They putt differently (the mindset seems to be more of "make it" rather than "don't three putt") - of course this is just one example. The reason I ask for Grant's input is when I watch his videos - he always seems to be on the positive side of things (ie: I will get this up and down for an eagle). Obviously a very talented player - I would like to hear more about his insights, partly to get a glimpse as well of how he thinks when he plays - and hopefully I can learn and apply some of it on my own game.
Great video. I’ve actually gotten a lot better around the greens because of your videos on your channel and the Good Good extras you used to do. One important point in chipping is that you have to have confidence in yourself to pull off the shot. I keep telling myself that I am good around the greens no matter how bad I am doing:setting myself up for success not failure.
I normally chip the way i had seen in the ever popular Phil Mickelson "chipping 101" video, and while this works, it has not been super consistent for me and i often have the same mis-hits Grant is speaking of here! I saw this video early this AM, and snuck out a little early to get 9 in. I had been thinking of these concepts all day, went out, had a horrible driver day, and thanks to some very chill chipping, I still salvaged a 45. I know to most of you that is a terrible round, but I just started golfing in June 2023. My handicap was a calculated 27 when the "amateur vs Pro grip" video was released, I am now a calculated 21. I'm not saying Grant is the best teacher.....but 6 strokes is 6 strokes! lol Keep up the good work big dog! Thank you for helping us out!!
@@jpdst29 i blame the fanatic level of addiction golf has caused me. lol since i started playing, the longest i've gone between hitting balls is like 3 days. Plus lessons at least once a month, followed by pactice. I can't drive the ball for shit, and shot a 42 on the front of my home course after work last night.
@@smushemz92 I am the opposite. My driver never fails to hit the fairway, but I can't hit irons or chip or pitch to save my life. Every year I tell myself I am going to get lessons and I never do. lol. Maybe this year... =)
Grant, you probably won't read this, but I watched this 6 or 7 months ago, and this changed my chipping game. I'm literally dropping my scores. Appreciate you, brother. I'm sure a lot of golfers do.
It’s the little things that make you so great, Grant! Like at 0:45 your shoe has “GOAT” on the bottom, but I don’t think it was coincidence that you blurred it out…humble and helpful! I appreciate your videos man
Nice video. I live in Ireland and the Golf courses are absolutely saturated here at the moment with all the rain. I feel the shot at 5:04 where if you hit behind the ball, it would end up up as a chunk shot here because the ground is so wet and muddy the club will go through it like a hot knife through butter. Where as during the summer it would work like a charm. We need different types of chip shots for different times of year over here lol
New golfer here! Really like your technique when it comes to explaining things, a putting vid for beginners would be awesome! From the grip to the technique!
thankyou so much for this video!!! all your coaching videos have been spot on!!!!! everysingle one has helped my game so much!!! the chipping feels so good now, and even the bad shots come out good
Jees Grant - after a 15 year break of golf (I am in my late 40s) I picked up some clubs again. Struck them decently but my short game was atrocious. Watching this video before my round today saved me.... at least 5-6 shots! Great stuff, ty! on a personal note... I do miss your ever so positive energy on gg.... but it's also cool to see how your channel grows. all the best Grant!
Hi Grant, good stuff! I would like to hear more about chipping, in addition from doing it from the rough, on doing it with the ball above/below one's feet and on a downslope/upslope. I find most people I play with generally do a good job when chipping from a flat, good lie such as the one in the video, but struggle with bad lies.
Brother can I just say you’re a great teacher! Every one always shows the correct way to chip or hit but they never explain why you hit bad shots. And you explain it completely. Thank you
Topics: distance control with clockface or other analogy, when to open or close clubface, which club to use because of fly vs. roll on green, when to use fairway woods or utility woods to chip with, chipping up a big hill (i.e. 6') to a close pin vs. chipping downhill to a short pin. How to practice, such as are there 6-8 chips that if we practiced them regularly we would be prepared for most things?
Thank you for the video. Im a struggling golfer in many ways. I have high rounds with cheap clubs that I can afford. I've spent all summer watching videos to improve but I still struggle. I enjoy your videos. God bless
man im loving these lessons. simple and to the point. no beating aorund the bush. so many other channels videos its a sea non sense. thanks for keeping it straight foward
Putting lesson! I really struggle with tempo, speed and distance control. Considering the putter is the most used club definitely would be a great video! Keep up the good work Grant.
Played last week and could not chip to save my life, these instructions were a good refresher and I look forward to putting them into practice tomorrow. Thank you!
Great video. I would like to see a video on chipping out of green side rough. The rough around the greens is very thick at my course and I usually have a shot out of deep, medium or sitting high in the rough. Thanks.
Hi Grant. Would love some help with wrist setting in the back swing to help get pure/solid strikes. Tendency is having a "cupped" lead wrist rather than it being straight or bowed. Great video here, can't wait to practice this. Look forward to your next one!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH GRANT! I haven't tried yet but I already know i'm going to improve. I always did what you say...leaning back trying to lift, weight on wrong side. I'm a paid member if you ever decide to go that direction.
Thanks for the awesome video, Grant! Super helpful around the green! As a beginner, I think short game is one of my weakest areas, especially putting. I'll play a round and often have around 44-49 putts, which feels terrible when I think "If I just got closer to 36, I'd be breaking 90". So personally, I'd like to see you cover putting in a video, specifically the following: - Properly gripping a putter - Putting technique - How to/drills to practice putting
I appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate what a bad shot looks like and the results of a bad shot. A lot of times j cthese videos we get “don’t do this” but we don’t get why not todo it.
Thanks for the lesson Grant! Hope to see a lesson on how to stop bottoming out behind the golf ball, ball position across different clubs, and swing differences / similarities across clubs
you actually teach in a way that makes sense, unlike a lot of instructors talking a lot of nonsense, thank you, would like to see longer chips, how to control distance on chips,
Great video! I’d love to see your method for hitting higher shots with mid and long irons. I learned to play golf in Texas where low flighted shots are a must in the windy conditions. However, now that I live in Arizona, I really need to hit my 5-9 irons higher so the ball lands softer. Thanks!
Great job, Grant and Team! You guys are about to really raise the bar to a new standard in the YT golf world and golf world in general! I was literally at the putting green this morning working on this exact shot and YT recommended this video to watch. Wow, that is awesome. Ok, now onto actually watching the video!
Good lesson! I would like for you to talk more about the golf swing and weather you should pull with left arm. I have no distance with my irons, and I fell like I have tried everything.
Awesome video! Some topics i’d like to see are: hitting driver (i have trouble hitting up on it), 3 wood, hitting those piercing iron shots to get distance (it’s so different practicing off mats and real grass…i always hit it thin on grass)…hitting ball on a down slope/up slope/downhill/uphill… so basically everything lol
Love the short game videos. Most amateurs like myself have such inconsistent short games. We seem to hit our approach shots around the green as opposed to on the green like you're supposed to. Chipping it close and getting up & down would save a ton of strokes. I'd like to see more videos that include different lies and when to utilize more loft, or less lofted clubs to become more consistent.
Excellent job Grant in explaining the cause of "chunk" shots around the green. I use to never have trouble with this shot, but here lately, it is plaguing me. After viewing this video, I think my main problem was weight distribution and hand position. I will definitely be making your recommended corrections! Well Done Grant! I've also become a new subscriber!
Would love to see a lesson on hitting a Hybrid vs Wood. Always seem to be tricky clubs for me to hit out on the course and the range. Love the channel!
Grant: In addition to a great golfer, you are a very good teacher! Glad you started this Channel to share your knowledge in an easy-to-understand and apply way. I would be interested in a lesson on downhill and uphill chips that we sometimes face just off elevate greens.
Thanks Grant. This was really helpful. When selecting new wedges I see so many options for bounce and grind. Is there a happy middle ground to select? A video explaining this would really help
Brilliant chipping video Horvy! I like how you are cutting out some variables with your "70 30 pivot no wristy hingy minimal shaft lean" chipping technique. I tend to go for a stiff, stabby jerky bunt with a Ping Chipr. Can't argue with success - I holed out from 10m on Friday. The dent in the base of the pin is a permanent mark of where genius visited.
For players who are more advanced I would recommend a shaft lean. Shaft lean allows the clubs 3rd and 4th grove to come into contact with the ball before the bounce of the club hits earth. That allows for a steeper AoA and better spin loft. One reason viktor hovland is one of the bevy chippers
I like how you explained everything. It was easy to understand how everything worked and why. As far as what I'm struggling with, my 3wood is one club I have absolutely zero confidence in. It'd be cool for you to do a video on setup and tips with a fairway wood.
The key is to PRACTICE . Some of the guys I play with complain about their putting but I never see them practice. Thanks Grant I would like to see how to hit your fairway woods off the deck pointers
Outstanding with the problem that most golfers have and not the low handicaper's, I love the game, but I have other life moments that take up my time. Thanks for the straight shot!
Hi Grant this was very useful. Thanks. Please could you talk about how to chip/pitch from different lies, uphill, downhill etc? Plus perhaps out of different types of rough. Thanks!
Hi Grant,would love to see a video on putts from 8 feet and less,with downhill and uphill putts from this distance also. To explain the takeaway and the putter path. Tks
A video connecting the dots on proper takeaway and wrist hinge to be on plane with a flat left wrist at the top of the swing. Getting that wrist nice and flat at the top eludes me!
I would love to see more with chipping. Maybe some longer ones and even some pitch shots. Im really focusing on my short game, and I want to learn everything I can about it. Great video. Thank you
Hey Grant! Huge fan. I watch all your videos. Would love to see you explain your iron striking technique. Stance at address, ball positions, shoulder turn, wrist angles, shallowing, follow through, swing thoughts etc. As you have such a flawless swing, I think there is something in that video for beginners to advanced students. Also, I know you’ve done bunkers before, but more of a deep dive on bunkers in the future would be ideal. How hard to swing, high faced bunkers, width of your stance, finish positions etc.
Putting! There’s so many videos out there on how to chip, how to hit bunker shots, how to hit draws and fades and bomb your driver but I think most amateurs get on the green and it’s just a complete guessing game. Specifically how to read greens and some sort of way to control putting distance.
I’d like to see how you approach 1/2 and 3/4 wedge shots. Proper setup/technique, but also common mistakes you see and how to fix them. One of the hardest things for golfers to learn is to diagnose what exactly they did wrong on a swing that produced a negative result and how they can correct it. Especially when you’re in the middle of a round and not practicing.
Two video ideas. 1. What is the technique to hit 40, 50, 60 yard pitch shots? 2. How do you play mid/long irons out of the rough. Thanks for the videos.
Would like to see a video covering where your hands should be during a golf stroke i.e. when the club head contacts the ball during a drive, or during a iron shot, or on a bunker shot etc. TKS👍
Great job. I would like to see and hear the decision making for club selection for a shot to the green. Perhaps you change it up based on firmness of the green, so flighting it in higher with a higher lofted club. Perhaps trying to keep it lower for a roll onto the green, etc.. you are changing up your “normal distance” club for something else based on conditions or other reasons.
If you are a recreational golfer just playing for fun and you struggle with chipping and haven't got the time or facilities to really practice chipping (it takes alot of practice to get good) The best advice is to use a hybrid with a putting stroke Seriously game changing. Using a hybrid eliminates the chances of fatting and thinning your shots. All you need is distance control which you will pick up pretty quickly Some random I met at the course told me this He got me to hit 10 chips the way I normally would. The closest I got was 12 feet to the hole with 10 chips and 3 were off the green I used the hybrid technique from the same spot 10 times, holed 1, had 2 under a foot and the furthest away was 7 feet Serious game changer for me at the time, Try it out
Hey Grant, I‘ve been struggling finding my yardages for irons and wedges. The balls on our range don’t go as far as regular balls. How do you know which club to use, which shot to hit and how to adjust for lie, weather etc? Would love to see a video about it!!
Had a buddy who was an absolute short game maestro and he always had his weight on his back leg, an extreme amount of shaft lean, and his ball position very fair back. He always holed out at least 3 chips per round. Dogs will be dogs I suppose.
I am that buddy lol. When I was like 14 or 15, was taught by an older guy in my group on a public course how to put the ball back in my stance and swing the club low like a putter in order to take chunks out of the equation. It works out well for me, but you do have to read greens well and Grant's method flies the ball further and leaves less room for variance. Worth the "Pepsi challenge" next time I'm practicing around greens.
great tip, im really learning alot. Something id like to see is how your hips and legs work together to generate power. I tend to be a all upper body player and i cant generate any power. Thanks Grant!
having the nasties thinns in me currently, nothing more frustrating. the best tip is learning the basics and then practice, practice, practice, practiec, praticaie,pradndinar.... you get the point. instead of going on the range and brainlessly beating balls for an hour, try going to the chipping green for an hour. i really gotta force myself to do that but in honesty its the only way to get better at chipping.
I’d love some on course strategy vids. I just go up and swing. Even if it’s a good swing I don’t know how to plan ahead/ strategize a hole. If I try to plan a hole “go left to avoid right bunker” but that leaves me a really tough green shot etc.
I would love to see videos about long irons. I hit the shorties great, tend to fade/slice the long irons. Would also love something about if you’re at a distance in-between irons.
hey you forgot something Grant. Its to do with the little practice swings before hitting the shot. Before you hit a chip you should be practicing the same little motion, so you dont want to be too steep, with your little practice swings. You want to make 2 or 3 little practice swings and each of them just brush the grass, not take a divot and not air swing the chipping motion, just brush, brush, brush. Then hit the chip with the same motion. Most tour pros do that, Tiger Woods does it and actually most if not all tour pros do that. I have always done that too, since junior golf, and it not only helps you hit the chip on a nice shallow plane but it helps confidence. When I do it, if I dont brush the grass perfectly I will take another one or two practice swings until I get it perfect, then hit the shot, feel and confidence are so important. No Im not a tour pro, but guys I did play junior golf with and are now pros described my short game as the best they have ever seen, so I know a little about it.
Hope you guys can chip after this!
Now I can chip thx
Looks like your shoulders are very level, is that a thing you recommend when chipping?
Thank you Grant, hard to have confidence when you know your technique is bad
@@robertshawnmitchellyes! Level is good
@@robertshawnmitchell shoulders should always be level unless ur hitting the driver
I’d love to see more in-depth videos that get into different lies and types of chip shots. Also what lofts you would recommend for different types of shots.

As a beginner, I think short game is one of my weakest areas, especially putting. I'll play a round and often have around 44-49 putts, which feels terrible when I think "If I just got closer to 36, I'd be breaking 90". So personally, I'd like to see you cover putting in a video, specifically the following:
- Properly gripping a putter
- Putting technique
- How to/drills to practice putting
I appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate what a bad shot looks like and the results of a bad shot. A lot of times j cthese videos we get “don’t do this” but we don’t get why not todo it.
Thanks for the lesson Grant! Hope to see a lesson on how to stop bottoming out behind the golf ball, ball position across different clubs, and swing differences / similarities across clubs
you actually teach in a way that makes sense, unlike a lot of instructors talking a lot of nonsense, thank you, would like to see longer chips, how to control distance on chips,
A lesson on grip pressure would be awesome.
Awesome. I went home and tried this. Helped a great amount. Cant wait todo this on the course.
You should collab with Fredrik Lindblom regarding short game practice, he is one of the best around. Based in Arizona.
Great video! I’d love to see your method for hitting higher shots with mid and long irons. I learned to play golf in Texas where low flighted shots are a must in the windy conditions. However, now that I live in Arizona, I really need to hit my 5-9 irons higher so the ball lands softer. Thanks!
how do you get the ball to bounce one time and check
Great job, Grant and Team! You guys are about to really raise the bar to a new standard in the YT golf world and golf world in general! I was literally at the putting green this morning working on this exact shot and YT recommended this video to watch. Wow, that is awesome. Ok, now onto actually watching the video!
Good lesson!
I would like for you to talk more about the golf swing and weather you should pull with left arm.
I have no distance with my irons, and I fell like I have tried everything.
Awesome video! Some topics i’d like to see are: hitting driver (i have trouble hitting up on it), 3 wood, hitting those piercing iron shots to get distance (it’s so different practicing off mats and real grass…i always hit it thin on grass)…hitting ball on a down slope/up slope/downhill/uphill… so basically everything lol
I appreciate the drill with the focus on using the big muscles. How about greenside bunker shots? Straight alignment versus open stance.
Love the short game videos. Most amateurs like myself have such inconsistent short games. We seem to hit our approach shots around the green as opposed to on the green like you're supposed to. Chipping it close and getting up & down would save a ton of strokes. I'd like to see more videos that include different lies and when to utilize more loft, or less lofted clubs to become more consistent.
2 tips I would love to hear about would be grip pressure and lag. Also how do I stop flipping wrist at impact. Love the videos!!
Played a round today after watching this video and got my first ever chip-in! Thank you so much for the simple but effective tips!
Great video! Something I’m struggling with : How to avoid duck hook off the tee (driver woods & long irons)
Great video Grant! Would love to see chipping from different lies, and how to gauge different distances using the chipping technique
Excellent job Grant in explaining the cause of "chunk" shots around the green. I use to never have trouble with this shot, but here lately, it is plaguing me. After viewing this video, I think my main problem was weight distribution and hand position. I will definitely be making your recommended corrections! Well Done Grant! I've also become a new subscriber!
Hi Grant.
Grandpa from South Africa.
I watch you play often and am impressed.
Your teaching is excellent.
Keep it up.
Would love to see a lesson on hitting a Hybrid vs Wood. Always seem to be tricky clubs for me to hit out on the course and the range. Love the channel!
Me too, seems like you always hit flush with the ground
I’m excited for this :)
Grant: In addition to a great golfer, you are a very good teacher! Glad you started this Channel to share your knowledge in an easy-to-understand and apply way. I would be interested in a lesson on downhill and uphill chips that we sometimes face just off elevate greens.
Thanks Grant. This was really helpful. When selecting new wedges I see so many options for bounce and grind. Is there a happy middle ground to select? A video explaining this would really help
Brilliant chipping video Horvy! I like how you are cutting out some variables with your "70 30 pivot no wristy hingy minimal shaft lean" chipping technique. I tend to go for a stiff, stabby jerky bunt with a Ping Chipr. Can't argue with success - I holed out from 10m on Friday. The dent in the base of the pin is a permanent mark of where genius visited.
For players who are more advanced I would recommend a shaft lean. Shaft lean allows the clubs 3rd and 4th grove to come into contact with the ball before the bounce of the club hits earth. That allows for a steeper AoA and better spin loft. One reason viktor hovland is one of the bevy chippers
I like how you explained everything. It was easy to understand how everything worked and why.
As far as what I'm struggling with, my 3wood is one club I have absolutely zero confidence in. It'd be cool for you to do a video on setup and tips with a fairway wood.
Chipping is one of the most important skills in golf. Great video grant!
The key is to PRACTICE . Some of the guys I play with complain about their putting but I never see them practice. Thanks Grant I would like to see how to hit your fairway woods off the deck pointers
Outstanding with the problem that most golfers have and not the low handicaper's, I love the game, but I have other life moments that take up my time. Thanks for the straight shot!
good tip. a thought for a tip is hitting the 50-100 yard pitches. specifically the club choices and why.
Hi Grant this was very useful. Thanks. Please could you talk about how to chip/pitch from different lies, uphill, downhill etc? Plus perhaps out of different types of rough. Thanks!
Hi Grant,would love to see a video on putts from 8 feet and less,with downhill and uphill putts from this distance also. To explain the takeaway and the putter path. Tks
A video connecting the dots on proper takeaway and wrist hinge to be on plane with a flat left wrist at the top of the swing. Getting that wrist nice and flat at the top eludes me!
Thanks for making my morning interesting. I would love to see lessons on shallowing/keeping driver swing on the inside, and low point with irons.
Loved the different perspective that Pete brought to these swing issues.
Best chipping lesson out there. I would like to see a lesson on shallowing the golf swing. How to avoid topping and hitting fat.
Yes sir!
@@GrantHorvatTeaches thank you
Are you exiting left on your chip shots? If I keep my club straight I sometimes double hit my chip
I would love to see more with chipping. Maybe some longer ones and even some pitch shots. Im really focusing on my short game, and I want to learn everything I can about it. Great video. Thank you
Hey Grant! Huge fan. I watch all your videos. Would love to see you explain your iron striking technique. Stance at address, ball positions, shoulder turn, wrist angles, shallowing, follow through, swing thoughts etc. As you have such a flawless swing, I think there is something in that video for beginners to advanced students.
Also, I know you’ve done bunkers before, but more of a deep dive on bunkers in the future would be ideal. How hard to swing, high faced bunkers, width of your stance, finish positions etc.
Putting! There’s so many videos out there on how to chip, how to hit bunker shots, how to hit draws and fades and bomb your driver but I think most amateurs get on the green and it’s just a complete guessing game. Specifically how to read greens and some sort of way to control putting distance.
I’d like to see how you approach 1/2 and 3/4 wedge shots. Proper setup/technique, but also common mistakes you see and how to fix them. One of the hardest things for golfers to learn is to diagnose what exactly they did wrong on a swing that produced a negative result and how they can correct it. Especially when you’re in the middle of a round and not practicing.
Two video ideas. 1. What is the technique to hit 40, 50, 60 yard pitch shots? 2. How do you play mid/long irons out of the rough. Thanks for the videos.
Would like to see a video covering where your hands should be during a golf stroke i.e. when the club head contacts the ball during a drive, or during a iron shot, or on a bunker shot etc. TKS👍
Great job. I would like to see and hear the decision making for club selection for a shot to the green. Perhaps you change it up based on firmness of the green, so flighting it in higher with a higher lofted club. Perhaps trying to keep it lower for a roll onto the green, etc.. you are changing up your “normal distance” club for something else based on conditions or other reasons.
If you are a recreational golfer just playing for fun and you struggle with chipping and haven't got the time or facilities to really practice chipping (it takes alot of practice to get good)
The best advice is to use a hybrid with a putting stroke
Seriously game changing.
Using a hybrid eliminates the chances of fatting and thinning your shots.
All you need is distance control which you will pick up pretty quickly
Some random I met at the course told me this
He got me to hit 10 chips the way I normally would.
The closest I got was 12 feet to the hole with 10 chips and 3 were off the green
I used the hybrid technique from the same spot 10 times, holed 1, had 2 under a foot and the furthest away was 7 feet
Serious game changer for me at the time,
Try it out
Hey Grant, I‘ve been struggling finding my yardages for irons and wedges. The balls on our range don’t go as far as regular balls. How do you know which club to use, which shot to hit and how to adjust for lie, weather etc? Would love to see a video about it!!
Had a buddy who was an absolute short game maestro and he always had his weight on his back leg, an extreme amount of shaft lean, and his ball position very fair back. He always holed out at least 3 chips per round. Dogs will be dogs I suppose.
I am that buddy lol. When I was like 14 or 15, was taught by an older guy in my group on a public course how to put the ball back in my stance and swing the club low like a putter in order to take chunks out of the equation. It works out well for me, but you do have to read greens well and Grant's method flies the ball further and leaves less room for variance. Worth the "Pepsi challenge" next time I'm practicing around greens.
Can totally work! Just requires lots of practice
Great thanks, more lessons please. Putting, fundamentals of setup and swing for driving and irons. Cheers
The low left exit/release that I see even you have Grant. Definitely would love a lesson on how you achieve that! Thanks for the lessons Brotha 🙌🏾
great tip, im really learning alot. Something id like to see is how your hips and legs work together to generate power. I tend to be a all upper body player and i cant generate any power. Thanks Grant!
Great lesson G . How about a video lesson on distance control up to 70 yards, types of shots and proper wedge selection.. Thank you
having the nasties thinns in me currently, nothing more frustrating. the best tip is learning the basics and then practice, practice, practice, practiec, praticaie,pradndinar.... you get the point.
instead of going on the range and brainlessly beating balls for an hour, try going to the chipping green for an hour. i really gotta force myself to do that but in honesty its the only way to get better at chipping.
Awesome!!!! You have a natural ability for teaching Grant, great stuff!!!
I’d love some on course strategy vids. I just go up and swing. Even if it’s a good swing I don’t know how to plan ahead/ strategize a hole. If I try to plan a hole “go left to avoid right bunker” but that leaves me a really tough green shot etc.
I would love to see videos about long irons. I hit the shorties great, tend to fade/slice the long irons. Would also love something about if you’re at a distance in-between irons.
A good follow on video would be approach shots and pitching (30-80yards). Great video Grant.
hey you forgot something Grant. Its to do with the little practice swings before hitting the shot. Before you hit a chip you should be practicing the same little motion, so you dont want to be too steep, with your little practice swings. You want to make 2 or 3 little practice swings and each of them just brush the grass, not take a divot and not air swing the chipping motion, just brush, brush, brush. Then hit the chip with the same motion. Most tour pros do that, Tiger Woods does it and actually most if not all tour pros do that. I have always done that too, since junior golf, and it not only helps you hit the chip on a nice shallow plane but it helps confidence. When I do it, if I dont brush the grass perfectly I will take another one or two practice swings until I get it perfect, then hit the shot, feel and confidence are so important. No Im not a tour pro, but guys I did play junior golf with and are now pros described my short game as the best they have ever seen, so I know a little about it.
