Skulls, Chunks, Bladed---> Chipping!

Understand that the club will do most of the work, as long as you have the correct set up.

This is key to consistent and solid chipping in golf. Creating a thought process before your chip shots will also help build confidence around the green. Here are some fundamentals of chip shots!

Technique
 
  • The ball position should be back in your stance (off your back foot). The feet are closer together and the weight is on your forward foot. NO WRIST ACTION!
 
  • Keep your hands and wrists working together, minimally breaking your wrists. Rotate with your upper body, leaving your lower body a bit still.
 
  • Keep your leading wrist flat toward your target, and DO NOT let your wrists break down in the through swing.
 
  • The distance from the hole is the determining factor for which club you chip with. You are free to chip with any club in your bag. The rule of thumb is, the more green you have to work with, hit a higher club.

For example, a flop shot will require a 60 degree wedge and a bump/run shot may allow for an 8 iron. Feel your chips shots out the same way you would a full swing!
