Definitely one of the best golf instructors ever. Pivot back and stand up, let your body hit the shot. It's a simple, repeatable, predictable move. Good stuff!
Stan: Since adopting your chipping method a few weeks ago, I have chipped over 1000 balls...what a simple method. I am puzzled as to how to flight the ball down for more rollout. Thanks.
Work his chipping stroke with the knuckles on your left hand under (bowed wrist). Per Stan, this produces a "little bit of a pull hook" with lower ball flight and more roll out. Check this out on Stan's appearance on Chris Como's Swing Expedition show on Golf Channel.
I guess I’m the only person confused by the fact that he talks about using the bounce but the graphic on the video shows his shaft lean at impact. I guess I’ll try that rather than trying to have it vertical and see what happens. I can’t get much worse.
I would suggest Utley's SW bounce angle (12°-14°) is more than his forward-leaning shaft angle at impact, which would still provide the necessary bounce angle for this very skillful short game technician. On the other hand, you and I could probably benefit from a slightly earlier release, which of course, will provide more bounce and more room for error. Cheers!🙂
@@RollYourRock thanks very much for your reply. It sounds like you agree that having a goal of a relatively vertical shaft at impact provides more margin for error. I’ve never really tried: do you recommend opening the club face at address (and at impact) to provide more bounce? It seems this might almost bring shanks into play, but I don’t think I have ever tried it.
@@budg.6094The decision to open the club face is usually depended on your intended trajectory and lie, but yes, I would usually recommend that unless you're playing a lower running shot. Shanks can usually be eliminated by not setting up to open at address. You may even want to experiment setting up square or even slightly closed. By doing so, you will naturally shallow out the swing and bring the bounce more into play. Focus on not allowing your weight to move toward your toes during the swing and perhaps play the ball more off the toe of the clubface...
to think about swinging clubhead as a swing though might cause the average golfer to reduce the pivot influence on the shot ------which is a critical component
The guy behind him literally dips while Stan Utley is saying you shouldn’t! 😂😂😂
I hear that guy's nickname is "Chili"
@@RollYourRock he's also flipping at contact lol
What a glorious game, no matter how you enjoy it.

Stan...legendary
In the teaching ranks, yes!
Lol light bulb moment. My chipping is back
Merry Christmas! 😀

Less dynamic loft... exchange your PW for an 8-iron or more forward shaft lean.
@@RollYourRock Not sure what that means. Please explain.

@@dgrahamgolf Thanks, yeah... I saw that show w/ Stan. He always presents well! 👍👍
@3:13 guy in the background skanks one across the green into Stan's line & gets embarrassed 🥴
- I've been there! 😂🤣😂🤣
Yeah….the guy in the background who skanked it walked fast out of the picture damn quick….LOL!

@@RollYourRockThat all sounds great, I’ll try them! Thanks, again!
@@budg.6094 My pleasure! Good luck, Bud... 🙂
