once you've got this basic chipping stroke pattern down where you can be really consistent and your body movements are matching what you're seeing on the screen with the details that i've given you and what you see from tiger now you want to start having a little bit of fun with it with both hands on there we can hit that two-handed ripper and the two -handed ripper is no different than what you learned in the first part with the one hand all you now have to have is the left hand learning how to help out with that the biggest thing that you're going to do with the lead hand is it needs to be able to release this is key because you need that club face to be able to work under instead of working around like this if you're working the club face under you're keeping loft through the strike and that is super important to be able to hit this shot and what you're going to use now with the left hand is allowing it to break down and allowing it to help you swing a little bit more left and what i mean by that from face on it's kind of easier to see this same thing for the basic chipping stroke everything's the same you're going to start to be able to play with ball position a little bit but you're going to have your weight on your lead side more and then as you're going back what you want to be able to do is feel the club almost wiping across the ball diagonally to the left and the lead side will help with that and it's going to help you maintain more loft as you take the club through the strike the other thing that you can start to play with now that you have both hands on there is you can start to open the face more and as you begin to open the face it's going to allow you to come through with even more loft and then you can start hitting some really crazy nippy shots that bite really quick and obviously the further you hit it though you know the more that you're going to have speed with it so you can start putting more and more spin on there so what you want to start getting used to is the feeling of as you're going back starting to open the face with both hands and that's going to get that the leading edge instead of matching the spine angle more upright and then as you start to come through you want to feel like you're releasing like this and that's going to get the club face open that's going to get you more loft and then you're working it around to swing left and that's what's going to put a lot of side spin and cut spin on the ball so still feeling everything exactly the same but you're going to start to get the hands to work like this that's what you want to feel now we don't want to be very handsy with this at first as you learned from the uh basic the one-handed uh ripper shot there's really you don't need a lot of hand action but once both hands are on there you're going to start to be able to play with it a little bit more and have a little bit more spin on the ball than you could before so let me get set up here so i'm going to have the ball more on my front of my instead of having the ball off my back big toe which again you can play that shot i'm going to start to move it up just a little bit once i have both hands on there because that's going to help balance out the bottom of my swing arc now that both hands are on there when you have just your trail hand on there it's going to be a lot more typical for the club to bottom out a little bit back as you start moving with both hands it's going to move your bottom of your swing arc a little bit more forward and then as i go back i'm going to open it just a little bit and then i'm going to swing left and hold that loft on that club face so i'm going to hit just a really short one here and we'll get the seat get to see how much spin i'm going to put on it so i'm going to open the face the face is pointing you know white well to the right my stance is going to be a smidge open i don't like to play too open because i am swinging more left it's the ball wants to kind of come out a little bit left obviously the club face angle is going to balance that out but you will find that you don't need to set up as open as you might think because as you're swinging left the path is going to help move the starting line a little bit more left so you can play with square to a little bit open to get the the basics of this shot so now setting up ball off my front toe face open i'm going to open a little bit going back and a really low little cut spin there so now when you look at it from face on all i did there is i'm letting this wrist start to rehinge a little bit on the other side that's helping me maintain loft through the shot that's all you have to feel it's the only difference between what we did before where have it all of our back toe and trail hand only holding that face open now you can see as i come through that lead wrist needs to be able to break down a little bit to maintain that loft on there and you've got that two-handed cutter shot that's super fun to hit
