Chipping from just off the green is a lot simpler than most amateurs make it look. For them, judging distance is more like playing the lottery.
Chipping Tips
No Wrist Chipping Drill
One of the biggest faults my students suffer from while chipping is over-active wrists. A chip shot should be considered a putt, but with a wedge. Despite having the ball slightly farther back in your stance, the swing motions are identical.
Chipping Trough – Improve your Chipping
If you suffer from inconsistent contact and tend to either pull or push your chip shots, you’re not alone. Many of my students struggle with short shots around the green.
Feel & Distance Control Drill – Cure your Chipping Woes
Players with poor hand-eye coordination have a tough time judging distance control for their short shots round the greens. Having good hand-eye coordination is a route fundamental for all players. It takes time to develop a feel for how far a ball will fly and roll based on how hard you swing at it. Improving you hand-eye coordination will help you improve your feel and lower scores, this drill can help.
