Chipping SECRETS from Tiger Woods & Phil Mickelson
In This Chipping Lesson, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson share critical chipping secrets. They have very similar fundamentals because they are both teaching the same edge leading style of chip (hands leading with no release). The similarities in fundamentals: The hands should be forward of the ball at address, weight forward, and the hands are to always lead the clubhead through impact (edge leading) without any clubhead release from the hands (they both demonstrate the motion NOT to use ). The hinging of the club on the backswing is optional, but the hands must accelerate through impact and be a constant for an edge leading chip to be successful.
Tiger Woods: my hands being on the front side of the golf ball having the hands slightly higher than you would on a normal golf shot only because you're a little bit closer now from there I'd like to feel most of my weight on my left ball on my foot to ensure that know I I I feel very comfortable chipping like this just because I like to have that descending blow on on the golf ball so by feeling my weight on my left ball my foot hands on the front side of the golf ball ensures that my hands are always going to be leading the club head into the golf ball so you don't get on that motion
Phil Mickelson: what I do is I just break the wrist and I hold it going through now when I say I hold it what I'm doing is accelerating my hand now if you notice my arm and Club are going to form a straight line into the finish I'll show you again now look here we have the arm and the club in a straight line that means at no point did the club travel faster than the arm we want that with the driver because we're trying to create distance but here we're trying to control distance we're trying to hit at this specific distance to the Target and the best way to do that is to have the arms and Club working at the same speed as we move the pin back and make it a 20 yard shot I want you to see that it's exactly the same I set up the same square to the hole Club face is square I break the wrist going back and I accelerate into the Finish now as I get to 4050 yard shots it'll come up here and it might break slightly that's not important what's important is through impact the club and arm are traveling at the same speed
