Too many chip shots are hit thin or fat because you are not able to control your wrist lag and release on these short chip shots (up to 30 yards). Wouldn’t it be great if you could guarantee a perfect chip shot every time you try one on the course? Even GOLFPASS is demonstrating a single handed version of what I am about to share with you.
Chip shots often fail because you are trying to release your wrist lag at the exact bottom of your swing but your wrists, knees and spine may be bent or open at the point of impact. A normal swing is often completed with some up and down motion in your shoulders and knees which also change the distance to your ball. Timing is critical for this type of swing and that’s why you muff so many chips shots.
There is only 1 way to guarantee a perfect chip shot. You need to setup and swing with a straight leading arm & wrist and don’t move your shoulders up or down. You are only creating power with the rotation of your shoulders and pendulum swing like a putt. You can adjust the distance of your shot by extending your backswing and choosing any of your irons depending on the height and distance of your shot.
1/ Setup with your feet about 10 inches apart and your leading foot flared open 45 degrees.
2/ Slide your leading hand down on your grip so that your arm is stretched out and directly in line with your club (with no forward lean). The soul of your chosen club may rest on the toe or the flat base (your preference)
