Shot this little chipping video the other day.

This style really works for me.

So the thing that makes it work is the fully separated hands. maybe 2 or 3 inches between the hands, enough so that the club, hands, wrists and arms are all one big arrangement.

I try to feel that the bottom hand is underhand tossing (like Kuykendall's toss technique.) the ball.

So far I haven't found a situation where this method doesn't work. I can pitch and run with it and fligh a 56 wedge right at the pin with it.

So anyway watch to the end to see the results

You stole video about pitching from a soccer federation? :-P No wonder you're a 12 handicap!

Kinda, my top hand thumb runs straight down in line of the club and the grip sits in the life line of the bottom hand.

Have you ever played ice hockey?  I think you would be very good at it.  If you are comfortable with the technique, stick with it.

Unconventional. Reminds me of your full swing. You were apparently a hockey player in a former life. But if it works for you, great. I would not encourage others to learn the same, which is probably why you have a disclaimer. With the hands separated on the grip, the right hand could take over and cause a flip. Not for you, but for others...

Hey I got moved.....WEIRD!

I forgot to add. I reckon this system would work even better for those guys that play with their dominant hand on the bottom. I'm right handed but play left but I reckon the tossing feel with the bottom hand would be even better on a bottom hand dominant player.

The other thing I've noticed is if you can keep the club,wrist,arm arrangement stiff. then there is nothing else to think of. I mean, no body movement, not wrist cocking, no break and hold move, no weight issues Nothing. It's very unathletic, and very mechanical. Just swing the club.

I guess the disclaimer is valid.

A dominant bottom hand, with the hands separated, may more easily turn into a flip, as I stated in my post above.

Agreed. None of those shots are struck "crisply."

That's not a chip shot in my opinion. More of a pitch.

And Rupert, when you shoot your 5-iron video, use a good camera angle. None of this "on the ground so nobody can see your contact points, divots, etc." stuff.

I think you should start your own golf school - it would be cool to see millions using your techniques and we would all know where it started!

Crisply??? Mate did you get to the end of the vid? 2 stone dead, 1 at 3 feet, 1 at 7 feet one at 10 feet one at 20 feet......not crisp enough for you?

Chip or pitch? the shots were played from about 30/35 meters. I don't know what the difference between the 2. I'll basically use this setup from just on the fringe to 50 or 60 meters.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
