Never Duff Your Chip Shots EVER Again (New Technique)

Hitting Crispy Chips and Pitches

In this video, the instructor shares a technique to improve chipping and pitching shots around the green. The key is to focus on maintaining a straight lead arm and keeping the weight forward throughout the swing.

Technique for Crispy Chipping

• Set up with the lead arm straight and weight forward.

• Avoid breaking down or scooping with the lead arm.

• Eliminate variables by keeping both arms straight but tucking in the trail arm.

• Guide the stroke with the lead arm while keeping the trail arm glued to the rib cage.

• Achieve consistent contact by focusing on a straight lead arm throughout the entire stroke.

Benefits of Straight Lead Arm

• Improved contact and divot creation.

• Elimination of flipping and scooping motions.

• Increased confidence in chipping shots.

Early Extension in Full Swing and Chips

• Early extension of the trail arm can cause problems in both full swings and chips/pitches.

• Apply the same technique of tucking in the trail arm for pitch shots as well.

By focusing on maintaining a straight lead arm and eliminating unnecessary movements, golfers can achieve crisper chips and pitches, leading to improved performance around the green.

In this section, the speaker discusses the benefits of using a specific technique for chipping in golf.

The Power of the Technique

• The technique works wonders not only for chipping but also in the full swing.

• By setting up and swinging according to the technique, it feels like cheating as it allows for consistent shots without overthinking.

• The technique is based on using geometry and physics, where the golf swing is considered a circle with a radius. The club always bottoms out at the bottom of this circle.

Choosing the Right Radius

• When there are two competing radii (right arm and left arm), it is important to choose one that will be in charge. In this case, it is preferred to have the left arm radius in front of the ball.

• This ensures that there is no competition between the arms during the swing, allowing for better chipping and pitching performance.

Consistent Contact Point

• By following this technique, one can achieve a consistent contact point during chipping. However, building a consistent contact point requires practice and skill development. It is compared to starting with simple cooking recipes and gradually progressing to more complex ones.

• Mastering this technique will lead to improved performance in chipping, pitching, and full swings around the green area. It eliminates unnecessary mistakes and helps maintain consistency throughout rounds of golf.

In this section, the speaker emphasizes an important aspect of maintaining proper form during golf swings.

Tucking the Trail Arm

• It is crucial never to allow the trail arm (right arm for right-handed players) to be straight during the swing.

• Tucking the trail arm and keeping it as a supporting arm rather than a dominant one can lead to improvements in chipping, pitching, and full swings.

• This technique helps maintain control and consistency, especially around the green area, reducing the chances of throwing away shots.
