Hi I'm paul wilson the creator of swing machine and and the director of the

paul wilson golf school

at bear's best las vegas

and talk about different ratios that you need to learn in order to choose the

right golf club how to chip a golf ball

the proper chip shocked so

what is the ratio well

libya's it's the distance you're going to be flying to golf ball

how far the ball is going to be rolling

so what we need to do is we need to calculate out how

far it is to the front of the green about a yard onto the green because

we're gonna be flying our ball about a yard onto the dream

each of these different chip shot

once we understand that amount we then

look had our

uh... pin placement

and that will tell us

how many of those

humesha atler help

far that differences

compared to where we're getting our golf ball

so in this situation right here on the front of the green here

i and i know cases often a second so you see but if you look onto the very front

about your arm of the brain

that come out is about the same amount

i have

to roll the ball to that first hole

fill in the situation that would be a one

told one ratio

each of the different complacent have a different ratio to it

and it's very very important that you understand this very clearly because you

want to be able to choose the bright golf club

the appropriate chip shot ok so what i'm gonna do end up a soft these different

uh... yard to give

so that you understand exactly what club ticket in what situation and understand

the ratio so then you can use that into the future okay so casey's off aria

let's start with just with this language

so here we go again a sandwich here

you just pay for the after the primary green

and he'll get a feel for

uh... it is to get a sandwich so from here

four is the front of the green

five is where i'm going to be landing my golf ball

five cases

two right here

so that's what i'm trying to get my golf ball

from here

i mean the peace off to do the rest of the way to the whole

so one

thanks overhear which is pretty much of his first in placement

i've got a one

ratio

it's pretty simple

at a one to one ratio i want to hit the sand wedge if you're someone that has a

lot wage anyone ship with a lot of which

feel free to do that some people like using their lob wedge better than the

sandwich

some people don't even care e sand wedge

i personally use the sand wedge so on a one-to-one ratio

that is the golf club i'm going to be using

now was take a look at the next

the next ten so the next one

i'm going to be using

okay non-union

right here how to chip a golf ball

open sorry here i've got a manner

soco its case this one off and you'll see what the ratio is to hear so

four is the front of the green

five is wearing them to be landing might awful case but

cases

now i've got one

for the first whole which we just talked about

right here

this is where i'm going to get a pitching wedge missus halfway between

these two hole

that is the one to ratio so it was five for the from the drain

and this is penny art so this is

more role then how far i had to fly it so

one part fly equals to park role pitching wedge

to three

now met this flag here this is where i would hit and nine n

five yards in front of the grain and then it's

fifteen pages the here

later with a one

took three ratio

okay cell

hopefully you're starting to understand

how this works you're looking at the front of the green

trying to look at the different pin placements

you've tried to determine how far it is to fly it onto the very front of the

green about a yard on the green

you look to see how much role you need

and then you choose the bright cord

so from right here we're going to go

simon all the way

to that can weigh down there

that he's going to be a one five ratio

which you'll see in a second

so here i am one

four is the front edge of the green

five is wearing a land my ball

okay so

that's one part fly now we've got one

that one

as the one to two

okay this is the one three ratio

that's the one two four ratio

this is where i wouldn't be that it's halfway between them for them at all

so now we got one

and now i'm i don't want the five ratio

this is where i'm going to hit five seven

fly a seven iron bodyguard onto the front of the green

all the way there

to that camp

begets high noah sent at seven iron roles five times as much

as i fly

so its principal

again looking at the front of a dream

we're trying to determine

club to hit in what situation

some emanates indifferent chip shots with the different clubs so you can see

how each of these clubs hits the front of a green and then roll so the

different in placements soap we'll start with our sand wedge first

relief from the dream

go to this first complacent we know that's a one to one ratio so this club

should hit this ball

so that

okay so that was very good right there week

within a couple feet with our sand wedge now radio to a nine and and you'll see

that this club

justin changing clubs i'm not going to do anything different with my with my

stroke

ready at this club to go to the middle pin placement 'cause that's a one

two-three ratio

okay so here we go

so they know that ended up about a foot away from the whole within that time

although seven iron out for you

where to go all the way back

are all the way down there to that last emplacement so again if i hit the front

of a drain ball's gonna roll all way to the back

because i've got a seven and and that's a one to five ratio so here we go

i think so

if you take a look at that that ended up a couple feet from the whole down there

so just keep in mind

what we want to try and do you

changing the golf club

four the difference in placements based upon the correct ratio

we measure this distance from here to the front of the green where we're gonna

land of the ball

and we measure that distant towards the whole

we've got a one to one ratio which is the first the first hole here

we've got a one to two which will be halfway between the first hole in the

second hold that's going to be a pitching wedge

we've got a one two three which is the middleton placement one before is

halfway between the middle and the and emplacement and then a one two five at

the very end

also keep in mind

if the iffy at

or the green sorry is appeal or downhill you're going to add or subtract a club

to make up four the slope so if it's uphill you at a club

instead of a one two three ratio maybe it's a one two four ratio so that you

don't get in line and he hit me back

if it's downhill you take a club off

subtract one from your ratio so instead of a wonderfully ratio

it's a wonder to so instead of a nightmare you could've pitching wedge

it i would think the best thing to do is make a chart so that you understand

those different ratios i mean you can take them to the course with you

and you'll be able to tally and the correct at club

for the right distance okay you future trips and i show you the stroke

how to chip a golf ball now you get the ratios

you understand how it all fits together

symmetry ask your questions post your comments below i'll try to get to as

many as I can
