HITTING A GREAT CHIP SHOT

1: THE SETUP

Turn your entire body (feet, hips and shoulders) somewhat to the left of the target. This is called an open stance and makes the motion less demanding - even on short swings.

STEP 2: PREPARE TO CHIP

Incline your abdominal area forward from your hip, keep your legs somewhat bowed and put your weight on your left foot. Rest the club shaft on your left thigh and keep your usual grip on the club.

STEP 3: CHIP THE BALL

Verify the weight stays on your left foot all through the swing to send the golf ball into the air.

The swing is produced by turning on the axis of your spine, verifying that your body inclines your arms and hands. Keep your arms and wrists loose during the swing.

The swing is similar to a pendulum where the backswing is similarly the length of the followthrough. In order to make sure you are utilizing your body rather

than your arms and hands, search for the V shape between your shoulders and hands. Keeping this shape will help with your followthrough.

Here are some different tips that you may find valuable...

DON’T LET YOUR SHOULDERS COME UP

A simple approach to make the fancied plummeting blow is to hold your left shoulder down through the effect. Don’t raise your left shoulder -- keep it low and square to your target line.

MAKE YOUR WRISTS FLAT

You won’t chip well if you flip your hands or twist your wrists. Your left wrist ought to be as level as could be expected under the circumstances. In the event that you experience difficulty keeping your left wrist from breaking down, take a stab at utilizing your putting hold.

CLOSE YOUR TOE

In spite of the fact that your hands ought to be detached and your left wrist straight, they do need to turn so the club turns over on its heel through the effect. Attempt to easily pivot the toe of the whelp to your target (don’t yank it) as you swing through the effect range.

KEEP YOUR WEIGHT FORWARD

At location, circulate the dominant part of your weight over your left foot and, all the more important, keep it there through your stroke. On the off chance that you hang once again on your right side, you’ll swing up into effect and that is the issue that got you here in any case.
