I added the lead hand back in. How does it look?

Looking really good David, just get more weight over your lead leg on these short shots

Too much weight on back foot

It is just a matter of leaning more towards my front foot or is there something else I'm missing to help?

Watched Clubface is king which explained the front weight shift in more detail. I will practice more on getting more weight on the front foot.

Hello chuck here is my chipping swing with my sand wedge after 4 hours in two days.

Very good! Couple little things. Feet are super narrow, widen just a smidge to give yourself better balance. Make sure you have a bit more weight on the lead side as well to ensure a crisp strike. Lastly, your right hand needs to slide up the grip more to cover the lead thumb

Thanks sir. Ok I will work on my weight and a bit wider feet. I will also work on the two handed grip. I have been scared of overlapping since I been wanting the feel trail hand more but I need to feel comfortable with both hands correctly. I will try your practice drill of not having the fingers gripping on the lead hand. Just the thumb.

I've used an interlock grip for my entire golfing career. When adding back the lead hand on the chipping stroke, I was having a hard time duplicating the gdp position I was getting with right hand only chipping. With my interlock grip, my lead arm was definitely not playing nice with the right hand. I was experimenting and tried out a 10 finger grip for the first time ever because it felt more natural to get the same feels with the right hand as chipping with right hand only. I was able to pass the chipping assessment test with the 10 finger grip. Does anybody know if a 10 finger grip is an acceptable grip? Or does it create problems in chipping and full swing?

Watch the next video and you will see how to go about this.

Should we try to hold the wrist hinge from backswing all the way through impact? Or should there be an unhinging as we approach impact?

For the chipping stroke there will be a tiny amount of unhinge, but it will feel more like you’re holding it off and then as you add speed, the unhinging will become greater because of the force of the club and you won’t be able to hold it as much

At least I have made it this far. As previously stated, this is an iterative process for me. As I learned on this drill that I need to feel my entire body involved with the stroke, I go back and apply that to the putting stroke and the trail hand chipping stroke. I am by no means facile with this, but I have learned how to feel my entire body in the stroke, from my feet to my head. I know when I make a mistake, that I didn't concentrate on my entire body moving. I also suppose this new body movement I am learning is the reason my hips were never open when I struck the ball. When I move my body in the manner you describe, my hips are open, but I need to drill and drill this into existence. If I understand you correctly, repetition is the key.

You got it Mark, each day the drills will become easier and easier as you build toward the Skills Assessment Test at the end of this phase.

I found this segment to be the most instructional on the "micro" version of the full golf swing! I guess this is the foundational example... that you have to explain something many different ways for some hard-headed people like me to finally get it.

Yes! Taking it step by step like this allows you to slowly add in a new piece in a swing you can control while also giving you a way to check your progress.
