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
