“Well…..that ball rolled about 20 feet…..but you get the idea.”

I use this method and it’s quite effective. Concentrate on your right pointer finger taking some control and almost flipping from right to left just as you come to strike the ball.

Been hitting all my iron shots like this and it is very easy to make great contact.

If I open up a 56 isn’t it going to go straight up??

You need a divot to spin the ball when chipping… unless you are a wizard. This isn’t a one hop stop this is a chip and run with mixed ingredients

Close the grip? What does that even mean?? Wish people would talk with less jargon and make them easier to understand

[MroZzzzz]

What does he mean, "close the grip "?

[SouthernMan]

You did not demonstrate a "one hop and stop". The ball had multiple bounces and kept rolling. That seems like a normal pitch.

If you're gonna make an instructional video, it usually helps to NOT edit out the result

Waste of time" close the grip"

Terrible video. “Take your normal setup…”. Yeah? What if your normal setup is a disaster.
