This improved my chipping immediately. On faster greens though, I use this
but instead of Rule of 12 I change it to Rule of 13. Great teacher love his
videos.
This has really cleared up the short game tactics, can’t wait to try it
out. I wouldn’t mind a lesson with this fella either, good post.
I’d assume you could easily judge the “rule of” number on the practice
green before a round by doing a little experiment. Use 12 as a basis and if
you’re long or short, adjust as needed. One thing I’d like to know though
is whether you’d assign higher iron numbers to wedges, e.g. 8i, 9i, 10i (PW
at 45 degrees), 11i (AW at 50 degrees), 12i (SW at 54degrees), 13i (LW at
58 degrees) etc?
This is really good. I’m gonna try it soon.
Great video, I use this method cut 5 strokes off my round.
How does this work if the pin is on a an uphill or downhill slope?
@Zoneofgolf That is a VERY appropiate question. Just have a look at videos
from Pete Cowen or James Sieklemann. That is good short gametechnic!
Its good as a general rule…and it works..but you better practice a lot on
the course before u rely on it..you will eventually tweak the math suited
to your game…
Works really well. I’d say subtract a club when going down hill. So if u
need a 7 use a 8
Crap I was looking for a chipping lesson and ended up with a math
test……..and I didnt study……
this is like a cross between george constanza and frank caliendo doin
robert deniro teaching how to chip
he needed 4 yards carry and 12 yards of roll: that’s 1 part carry 3 parts
roll.. so 12-3 = 9 iron. if he needed 5 yards of carry and 20 yards of roll
he would need 20/5 = 4 parts of roll => 12 – 4 = 8 iron.
This may sound stupid but this system confuses me. I get the first chip – 6
parts role – 12-6=6 iron. Moving back he is roling the ball the exact same
distance once the ball gets to the tee but says it’s now 2-3 parts role –
the 6 parts of role should not change since the tee or pin did not move –
so how does he come up with the nine iron for the longer shot? Thanks

This tip has been the trick for me to develop “feel” around the green.
Played a round over the weekend and almost chipped in twice using this tip
and some green reading. It helps to read the carry and roll ratios from the
side of the shot, rather than down-the-line. It will be easier to get the
right parts of carry and roll.
I beg you pardon I was thinking of James Sieckmann
What if I’m (huh) chipping at Augusta to hyper fast greens?
Pitching wedge=10 iron Sand wedge=11 iron
