Understanding the Chip Shot
Let’s keep it simple. Chipping is the short game shot that keeps the ball low and running on to the green, and it’s a swinging motion that you already know.
Getting Your Chipping Setup Right
Here’s the grip and stance setup you need to hit perfect chip shots. Start with holding the club down the grip and keep your stance narrow.
Always Brush the Grass
I am going to show you a great way to practice brushing the grass with your club as you chip.
Playing a ‘Bump and Run’ Chip Shot
Once you get more experienced with your short game it is time to introduce the bump and run shot.
Chipping With One Club
Now I have to decide which club to use. If I have to choose only one club, it would definitely be the pitching wedge.
Chipping With Two Different Clubs
If you are feeling more comfortable with your chips and bump and run shots, you can add to your choices by putting another club into play.
Chipping With All Your Clubs
I love to chip with all the clubs in my bag because it gives me so many choices for different distances and obstacles.
Landing the Ball on a Spot
Pick your landing point for chips, normally 1/3rd of the distance to the target, and practice landing the ball right there.
The Baby Chip
When you need to play a really short chip shot, the baby chip may be perfect! It is definitely better than trying to take a shorter swing. Check it out.
Chipping With a Hybrid
One great alternative chipping club or even a Plan B when your short game is not going perfectly is your hybrid.
