Great video, thanks for sharing! I have lessons with James Ridyard and it's been a game changer for me! You'll be loving short game again in no time!
Dan is a god
Really good lesson. Hope these improvements manifest themselves in the course.
Ben looks very like Joel Tadman the editor of golf monthly. Lucky indeed….😂
Man I can relate! Hit 14 greens and go low or miss green and make bogey or worse. 🤦🏻♂️ I’d miss a green by two yards and have incredible anxiety just walking up to the ball. I started implementing Dan’s 3 release system about a year ago. I practice chipping a lot and now feel much more confident around the greens but it’s taken me almost a year. Chipped in yesterday for first time in forever! Thanks Dan!
I think of it like:
Practice=science
Playing=art
Good luck! You’ll get it.
No practice swing when showing Dan the initial shots – hear the sound, feel the ground – before you hit the ball
Chip well mate
Great video, is Ben the identical twin to Joel Tadman?
Absolutely sums up my game. Panic attack every time I miss a GIR. Great advice Dan. Trying it out in a Matchplay game today 🤞🙏
utterly relatable – by far the best short game coach out there. Dan is the man to watch and his book is gold dust to us chipping numpties!
Brilliant Video Dan. It could be me as the pupil except that I’m not a 4 handicapper! Loved this.
It’s the simplicity in how he puts his points across to the pupil.
Dan's instruction has made such a huge difference to my (3 hcp) confidence and success around the green.
Wide Slide and Turn …. love that
My chipping horrors do not occur when I chip off carpet into a cushion… the shot has no consequence… take the cushion away… the mishits start … so annoying.😀
Without doubt for me chipping and pitching is the most difficult part of golf. For a lot of good golfers its their downfall. I found grip pressure is a huge factor. Dan is 100% correct. Everyone grips far too tightly, usually through anxiety. Grip it softer than you even think, keep the weight left and smooth out the swing. It will transform your chipping action.
I cant believe a 4 hcp can have such a bad chipping technique.
As always Dan is world class teacher
Oh dear @GolfMonthly – ‘lucky subscriber’ who just happens to be one of the staffs twin brothers!!! Well done for not reading the room. I bet thousands of your followers/readers would love to have that opportunity if it was actually fairly available to them
Dan’s short game method has taken me from 5 to 2. I love chipping now
😗How can you be a 4 handi ? if you can't chip😬
Its very hard to shift from technical to external vision when you're a weekend warrior and short on time to practice. Any help for us weekend warriors on this issue, please Dan?
Very good. I’ve started getting tense and cuffing chips I never would have before. Now I worry about the lie etc.
I am Ben through and through. Will take any club other than lofted wedge around the green. Been trying to implement all of Dans tips for weeks. Some practice sessions are very good but others not so.
Set up is obviously the issue and lack of chest rotations but it’s difficult without having someone tell u.
Trying to pull wedge every time now as no point fighting it otherwise it’ll never improve.
It’s a long painful process tho 🙈
What’s the best club for that and do we need the club face open? As soon as I open the club face, the shot shoots out terribly to the right.
I've been using Dan's chipping techniques for a few months with wonderful success. Recently, in a scramble format, I had three 20 yard chips for an Eagle. I made one and the other two were less than 2" away from rolling in.
Try not to ground the club at address – that makes the hands and arms feel lighter and a little less likely to grab the club in the downswing- Do not try to avoid the ground !
