The chip shot involves a very short swing and is designed to improve accuracy when close to the putting green.
Here are a few elements to help improve your score around the greens:
-
Hold the club near the bottom of the grip. (This will allow the ball to be closer to your feet and give you better control of the club.)
-
Place your feet slightly open (turned to the left ) to the target and position the ball approximetly opposite the left heel.
-
Maintain the majority of your weight on your left leg during the entire swing (there is no weight transfer).
-
Execute the stroke without breaking your wrists during the forward swing.
-
Even though this is a short swing you always want to accelerate through the ball.
