Remember to accelerate through the shot, slowing down will result in a huge fluff. The backswing and the follow-through should be of equal length. This will ensure that the clubface remains square to the target and prevents the ball from flying off at an angle.
The action will be similar to a putt, using a pendulum action and not breaking the wrists. Now you are ready to swing and hit your shot. The main thing you want the grip to influence is the face angle at impact. What s important is to have a “light”, but firm grip to increase the feel. Others opt for the putting grip as the stroke will be similar to a putt, but with a different club and a bit more force.
#CHIPSHOT GOLF FULL#
When it comes to the grip, some coaches will recommend the standard grip you use for a full swing. This ball position and weight distribution will allow you to hit down on the ball keeping it low and rolling forward. Keep your weight forward, without tilting, around 60-70% on the front foot. Feet should be much closer together with the ball positioned further back in the stance, just off the inside of your back foot. We now have to look at the stance, which will more closely resemble your putting stance than that of the full swing.
Now you can align the clubface to this target and position your feet. Pick out a marker, say a leaf or blade of grass along the intended line, but closer to the ball and your eye line, as a secondary target. Aiming the chip shot needs the same attention as a putt, so you might crouch down to check the lie of the land first. There are many factors to bear in mind to execute this shot successfully. Secondly when you are just short of the green and the flag is placed some distance from the front, and there is a fair distance to run. Here the need is to punch the ball out low and advance as far as possible towards the target. Firstly if you happen to be in the rough, say under trees, and you need to keep the ball low. There are two situations where the chip shot could be the best option. A pitch will see the ball taking a much higher trajectory, sticking the green, with much less roll out. To chip or to pitch, that is the question.Ī chip is typically a shot that sees the ball staying low, bouncing a couple of times, and running a fair distance. Now, what happens when you find yourself a bit short of the green or with a bunker or pond between you and the flag? Worse still, that sexy drive left the fairway and you find yourself in the rough amongst the trees with low hanging branches. Yes, those big booming drives or long irons down the fairway can be very impressive and putting could count for around half the numbers on your scorecard. You know the adage, ”Drive for show, putt for dough”.
