Golf Tip of the Month

The Chip Shot
PROPER CHIPPING TECHNIQUE

When chipping the ball, the left wrist should be flat through impact to:
  • Make good contact with the ball
  • Loft the ball at the proper trajectory
  • Control the spin
To prevent wrist unhinging:
  • The best way to become more consistent at this basic shot is to let the shoulder acceleration control the club head. If the shoulders are accelerating and your arms are moving with your shoulders, there is no need to flip the wrist.
  • Another good drill to prevent this mishit is to choke down close to to the clubhead while chipping. This gives instant feedback with a poke into your ribs if your wrist unhinges. Be careful with this one, proceed slowly and cautiously.
