I followed Phil’s chipping 101 and it improved my chipping massively.

[johnz.]

Gentlemen, I have great respect for your work.
This is where I think you are completely wrong. As an average golfer myself, Phil's technique, or the basis of it, has greatly improved my game. I even tried it out with two older beginners who had just come from the basic chip course. Both were able to imitate the technique immediately and both found it much easier to use.
It takes a bit of submission to the front leg, as Dave Pelz explains, then anyone who is a bit motivated for golf can get it right.
Why don't you make a video with Rory again? I thought it was really good. Keep it up guys, failures are part of golf ;-). Cheers

Before I switched to the Phil method my chipping was awful. Now it's one of the best parts of my game.

Gentlemen, the reason why you don't feel Phil's technique works is simply because you're demonstrating it incorrectly. Listen carefully to Phil's video. He says the "hold" also means "accelerate" through the shot; it does NOT mean holding the wrist angle constant throughout. If you notice, he may start with a 90 degree wrist angle in the take back, but when he finishes, the wrist angle drops to ZERO. Nevertheless, you still do need to hold the wrists back slightly to ensure the wrist angle on the follow through doesn't go past zero or "God Forbid" create a 45 degree wrist angle the other way. Agreed, the "hold" could potentially be misinterpreted (i.e. better to say "hinge, accelerate, and hold" method). In other words, with Phil's method, when you "accelerate" through the shot, the wrists will naturally break, but you still need to hold the wrists back slightly to ensure the wrist angle stops at zero.

I've been golfing for two years. I've gone back and forth between the Phil technique and the technique you recommend. I've found the Phil technique is much easier to implement with better results. Why?

(1) Phil's technique minimizes the need for a large take back. After all, the larger the take back, the greater the chance of an incorrect strike on the way down.

(2) Phil's technique minimizes "using too much wrist" (i.e. as stated above, wrist angle never goes beyond zero). Using too much wrist increases the chances of blading the ball, which we all know, will result in a line drive to the other side of the green.

In summary, the simplicity in Phil's techique allows weekend golfers to dramatically improve their chipping without needing to spend hundreds of hours practicing. By reducing the amount of take back and wrist action, allows the weekend golfer, like myself, to increase the chances of making sold contact and using the bounce correctly.

Hinge and hold has been the easiest, simplest and most consistent chipping technique I’ve used, and I’ve tried a lot. I think telling people not to use it is a bit of a disservice. Perhaps help people to understand it better to get the most from it. There’s more forgiveness in the technique than you give credit for, when done correctly. Driving the club down is where the issues come from. Phil Michelson’s secretes of the short game will tell you everything you need to know.

[paulbrumleve]

It took my about 5 minutes to learn Phil's method. It changed my chipping. I tried your method and constantly bladed it over the green. I watched you try Phil's method and you had an incorrect ball postion, which is why you chunked it. The correct position is outside the right foot instead of in the middle.

[Sensiseagal]

In Phil’s video he says to not to hold the wrist angle through impact.. the power comes from the wrist hinge going back and using soft hands to control and get a consistent feel it’s 80% wrist hinge and 20 % body. Yous are saying phill teaches this and that.. while mocking his technique even tho it’s not what he looks like or teaches.. I’ll take Phil’s advice over the two full kit wannabes that’s life rounds are just another day for Phil..

[Macallan]

I chip and pitch using Phil's technique. It's "the same" technique I learned from my father long before Phil was ever on the Tour. I have very few problems around greens.

[kennethmurphy]

I’ve been doing Phil’s method for five years. It changed my short game drastically.

[Smiththebat]

Literally followed Phil’s chipping clinic and it completely changed my short game for the better. Like so much better! Genuinely added like 3 different shots I never knew I could play. Works specifically well for pitch shots!

[larrywestbrook]

I’ve never chipped good till I’ve watched Phil videos on chipping he’s the best nobody does it better.!!

[AzzDazz]

you have missed the point of keeping your weight forward which eliminates the duff. at least show the technique correctly.

[Tycotian]

With the hinge & hold if you want a high trajectory put the ball off your front foot bump and run off the rear foot and always have your weight on your front foot. Simplest was to chip and pitch

[theelmagoo]

So I personally use a combination of both techniques based on the shot I want to hit, but I improved my short game learning Phil's method first. I think Phil's method is a little trickier to understand, but once you do I don't think it's as difficult / unforgiving as y'all are stating. The biggest key with Phil's method is that you lock the Y (meaning the arms and club), and you have to effectively rotate the Y through the ball. When done correctly it absolutely uses the bounce of the club the same way as the other method, you're just delivering the club in a different way (Phil even talks about how he uses the bounce and loves bounce to glide across the turf). It's the "effectively rotate" part that I think gets most people, and y'all even demonstrate it as what can go wrong in that most people drive the club downward into the ground. Effectively rotating means your lead shoulder is rotating up, which brings the clubhead down to the ball and flattens out the angle of attack so the bounce can come into play. A lot of people get armsy with no rotation, or if they do rotate they tend to keep their shoulders level which drives the clubhead into the ground.

Another key thing y'all didn't mention is ball position, which Phil says is critical (and for his technique it is). Phil says to never play the ball in the middle, you play it very forward off the front foot, or off the backfoot. Playing the ball forward also allows the club head to rotate with bounce under the ball easier, which produces the same kind of shot the "easier" technique does. Playing it off the back foot gets tricky, but this should only be done if a low runny shot is desired as the leading edge is now very exposed to the turf and can dig. BUT, if you do the same technique and lock the Y and effectively rotate, you can brush the grass with the leading edge down and get that nice low runner shot.

Also another key in your examples here is you really need to adjust you stance to the slope of the ground! In this example y'all are hitting on an upslope into the grain of the fairway, but for the demonstration of the Phil technique y'all didn't adjust your stance to be parallel to the ground (meaning shoulders shoulders level to the ground). Of course this is going to highly encourage a digging of the club face into the ground, especially with the ball off the back foot for the low runner.

Anyways, yeah I understand what you're saying in that the other technique is an easier technique to teach and start with (maybe)? But the Phil technique isn't any more "difficult" to pull off once you understand how to effectively rotate.

[Allabertina]

You guys misinterpret Phil Ms instruction. The holding he refers to is after the club has caught up with the lead arm. You hold then, not the angle with hands way ahead. His technique works very well.

[pammiechick]

I love Phil’s tips. Improved my game by 11 strokes instantly!

[Dreama]

The truth is Phil doesn't actually 'hold' the angle on the way down, if he did he would swing right over the top of the ball, but instead he fully releases it, it's the RELEASE that is held or you might refer to it as the impact position, it's this that is held into the follow through, surprised you guys didn't explain this tbh...love ya channel though :) Ps - even though Phil refers to his method as hinge and hold, it's more like hinge, release and then hold, that's what he actually does and there's plenty of video evidence to verify this fact. Perhaps it's this misunderstanding that is screwing people up. Pps Oh and Phil doesn't 'dip' in the downswing because he releases the club, he actually is to blame for the confusion tbh on his video, it's hinge, release and then hold, not hinge n hold.

[boborris]

Been watching you guys for a long time now and just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do. Broke 80 for the first time last week with a 77 and have to give credit where credit is due, you guys have helped me so much without having an in person lesson it’s wild honestly!

[brentmcguire]

I understand everyone has their way of getting the ball in the hole. Personally I have watched and incorporated Phil’s chipping fundamentals into my approach and it’s helped me immensely.

Practice, practice, practice all the methods and pick out what works for YOU.

[brentmcguire]

Really for me weight forward and controlling my low point is the key to a good strike.
