Use Your Body, Not Just Hands in Chipping is one of the most effective tips for improving your short game. Here's why it matters — and how to do it right:

The Problem with Just Using Your Hands

• Leads to inconsistent contact — thin or fat shots

• Makes distance control difficult

• Encourages wrist flipping, which can add loft or reduce it unpredictably

In what’s becoming as reliable as a dad’s “Kiss the Cook” apron appearing at every family barbecue, Callaway has launched yet another limited-edition golf ball. This time, they’re serving up the Supersoft Grillmaster collection because, apparently, someone at Callaway headquarters finished their morning meeting, glanced at a Weber grill advertisement and had the groundbreaking epiphany: “Hey, Jason! What if we printed tiny BBQ equipment on golf balls? Let’s make it happen before L.A.B. Golf enters the ball biz!”

I kid … It’s for Father’s Day.

The Callaway Supersoft Father’s Day Grillmaster package features one sleeve each of four designs so mouthwateringly illustrated that you’ll find yourself checking if your golf balls are at the proper internal temperature before sending them down the fairway (or into the treeline … you do you.):

A charcoal BBQ (because Callaway clearly understands that real grill masters don’t mess with propane)A set of grilling utensils (tongs, spatula and fork – the holy trinity of backyard cookouts)A turkey leg (because Callaway has apparently confused your backyard BBQ with dad’s favorite Renaissance fair)An apron (to protect your golf shirt from all the sauce you’ll be dripping after three-putting)

While we’re not celebrating a major championship this time around, I suppose grilling is indeed one of the unofficial sports of summer, right up there with confidently declaring meat is done without using a thermometer and defending your secret marinade recipe to the death.

The term “limited edition” continues to lose meaning with each passing week as Callaway churns out these special collections faster than a seasoned pitmaster flipping burgers at a Fourth of July cookout. We’ve celebrated the Masters and the PGA Championship and your mom’s drinking problem. We’ve had the requisite red, white, and blue patriotic balls, and now we’re memorializing dad’s love of outdoor cooking.

Not long ago we received an email from reader, Bobby J. asking about what can be learned from a golf ball drop test.

“When cleaning and culling the balls that I find and from wear and tear, I do a drop test from shoulder height on my concrete garage floor. I compare the rebound to the ones that bounce highest (Callaway Supersoft or similar). A Pro V1x will come up 2 inches short. I cull anything that comes up short of that into a shag bag. These often get used for warmup on the driving range rather than paying $15 for a bucket when I will only hit 15–20.

“My question: Do you think a drop/rebound test tells anyone anything about the best ball to use?“

Let’s start with the good stuff, Bobby J. The fact that you’re not just picking up found balls, but testing them, puts you in a rare and commendable category: the “curious golfer.”

But let’s talk about that drop test.

The past few years, Scottie Scheffler has been on a dominating run of golf. In my opinion, it’s the best four-year consistently great stretch of golf we’ve seen since Tiger.

Here is what Scheffler has accomplished in just the past four seasons which encompasses 82 starts on the PGA Tour:

45 top-five finishes (55 percent of his starts)18 victoriesThree major winsTwo Players Championship winsOlympic gold medalOnly four missed cuts141 weeks at No. 1 in the world

This is stunningly good golf.

This is historically good golf.

There have been only three players in the post-World War II era to win three majors and 15 Tour events before the age of 29.

Twenty-seven players were added to the U.S. Open field Monday through the world ranking and qualifiers, but Sergio Garcia won't be part of the event for the first time since 1999.

When it comes down to it there are only a few simple things we can do to get longer off the tee and it truly comes down to physics. We can either be more efficient with the speed that we currently possess or learn to move the clubhead faster through impact. The following video addresses both elements and goes into greater detail…

We have the following important elements to tap into if we’d like to hit the ball longer off the tee, and yes, we all would…

Improved Efficiency

Impact Location

Use a powder based spray like foot spray or dry shampoo to get the feedback you need regarding where you are striking the ball on the club face. Practice with the spray on a regular basis to improve your strike quality and energy transfer from clubhead speed into ball speed.
