Chipping

The main concern when chipping is to ensure proper contact. This allows us to gain control of our distance for these shots. Most amateur players tend to lift the ball in the air by scooping upwards on the ball. All golfers would be better advised to have the ball back towards their right foot and their weight leaning forward. This will encourage a downward strike into the back of the ball, with the hands leading the clubhead. The ball then runs up the face and imparts the necessary lift and spin to enable us to have a good strike and better distance control.
