Hot Golf Tips - How To Improve Your Chipping


When setting up for a chip shot, there are a few important things you should keep in mind.

To begin with, you should always keep your feet fairly close together. By keeping your legs open less than one foot, you will better distribute your weight between legs.

Once you have settled into a proper stance, remember to keep your hands ahead of the ball and make a short back stroke to allow for the follow through. Also make sure you do not decrease the tightness of your wrists.

In addition, you should keep your legs and upper body perfectly still. Only your arms and shoulders should move during the chipping stroke. If you do lose the tightness in your grips and try to use it to gain some extra loft during the stroke, you will more than likely de-loft your club and miss, hitting the ball, but not gaining extra height.

Some golfers see the chip shot and wonder about club selection. Like any golf shot, it is imperative to make sure you select the correct club. You can, of course, use almost any club in the bag to chip with, but it all depends on far you want the ball to roll. If, for example, you want the ball to roll about 4 feet after it lands, you should use the 7 iron. Each club downwards will roll an extra foot, so the 6 iron will roll 5 feet and the 5 iron 6 feet and so on.

When chipping, you will want to get the ball into the air and rolling softly onto the green to set you up for a nice putt. But who knows: maybe you wont even need to make the putt anymore; you can just chip the ball into the hole.
