Golf Tips for Chipping:

Chipping is not as complicated as so many make it. For most people the challenge is making sure that they catch the ball clean without hitting the ground first. Too many people flip their wrists trying to get the ball off the ground only to "chunk it".

The biggest key to chipping effectively is to keep your hands ahead of the club head, and keep them "firm" (do not break your wrists). You want to hit down on the back of the ball "popping" it forward. Putting the ball back in your stance can help ensure that you hit the ball first.

If you need to get the ball in the air to clear some hazard, use the loft of the club by hitting it the same way and letting the loft of the club get the ball in the air. The more you try to lift the ball with your hands the more likely you are to blade it.

Judge the distance of your chips by the length of your backswing and the club you use. Remember to keep your weight slightly more on your front foot to help ensure a downward swing. More Chipping Tips
