00:00I know you struggle with your chipping, let's use something you've already got in your golf bag, a golf ball box

00:04Here's two tricks to help you fix it. First things first, let's get you finding that middle

00:10I know for a fact, right, I feel the same. Strikes towards the heel or out towards the toe

00:15Oh, just give you sleepless nights, right? So nice and simple the first golf ball box

00:19You're gonna place just one fingertip outside the golf ball

00:23The idea here is just miss the box

00:26If you're someone who moves your hands closer towards the golf ball on the through swing

00:31You're gonna catch the box and if you're someone who goes a little bit out and pulls in again

00:36You're gonna catch the box. So nice and simple. Let's see if we can play this chip and avoid the box

00:42This is a bit of a tough one. Actually a little bit downhill left to right

00:46Here we go

00:49A

00:53Little bit like that, let's move on to number two

00:56So the biggest route to consistency with your pitching and chipping is keeping that club on plane

01:01If you whip it inside on the way back, we're in danger zone

01:05So nice and simple grab yourself a wedge of any description

01:09I've got my 54 here and all I'm gonna do is place it underneath my front foot and

01:14This is actually really key listen to where I place that there under the ball of my big toe on my left foot

01:20So for a right hander, it's on your left foot for a left hander

01:23It'd be on your right foot. Look at this. You can see this from down the line

01:27Now if I whip this club inside, I'm gonna contact the grip

01:31What well aim is here is to swing back swing through the club may feel a little bit more out on the way back

01:38But that's a great feeling for you if you're whipping it inside. So nice simple objective

01:43Don't hit the club on the way back all the way through

01:48And you'll start to get those strikes a little bit like that
