How To Improve Your Chipping

Improve your chipping

- John Jacobs

1 Set-up is key. Keep your stance narrow and have the ball a little back, with a bit of forward shaft lean at address. On longish chips I would recommend a hinge and hold approach rather than a rigid, wooden technique, so set or hinge your wrists a little bit on the way back, as here. This will also help you generate the clubhead speed you need. Once you’ve created that hinge, feel as though you’re holding on to that angle on the way down, particularly in the right wrist.
