The Difference Between a Chip and a Pitch Shot

Knowing how to play the right type of shot around the green will save you valuable strokes. Alison Curdt demonstrates the difference between a chip shot and a pitch.

Chip shots operate from one lever: the lead arm to the body.

Chip shots will launch lower and roll out more.

Pitch shots operate from two levers: the lead arm to the body, and wrist action.

Pitch shots will launch higher and will have varying amounts of roll.
