Chipping from hard pan or an extremely bare lie is a tricky shot that we don’t face that often. In this tip, Martin Chuck breaks down a few techniques that will help you escape these tough lies and keep good rounds going.

Martin, just wanted to tell you that the Planemate has in addition to helping my swing has also helped my putting. I grew up watching Arnie putt so I always used a lot of wrists. After using the Planemate I can comfortably putt without using my wrists. Much more consistent.
How about when you have more distance (100 yards) with larger rocks on the ground?
For a right striker, how do you keep your left arm from bending on the back swing?
Hi Martin. Would you use the same approach when hitting from pine straw?
Thanks.
Very interesting tip, thank you very much
Hey Martin, really enjoy your tips & videos. I’m a 9.1 handicap & I play each weekday morning. One shot that always screws with me hitting out of the chips. Whether it’s a 3i or a 54°, the lack of stability or solid surface under the ball, I don’t know. Any tips?
Thanks so much
Excellent tip Martin. Wondering if you also suggest opening the club face slightly to make sure the bounce is engaged? Thanks and I am looking forward to meeting you the first week of April at the TSA.
Thanks to your in-person instruction at golf schools and the generous time you devote to online instructional videos, I got up and down from tight lies at least 4 times today! I sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks for the great tip!
The difference between my good pitch shots and my poor pitch shots comes down to three potential issues: 1) use of bounce as you demonstrated 2) reasonable tempo 3) "collecting the ball" with good arm structure/rotation
Thanks, Dave McLaren
What about using a seven iron and a putting motion? My seven is my go to club unless the ball is above the level of the green.
