So i'm gonna show you how to make your chipping much, much better and we're going to
do this by understanding what clubs to use and when to use them. So I've got two scenarios,
I've got one where I'm going to have a little bit more green to carry.
So a bit more rough to get over and a little less green
I've got another one there where I've not got much rough to carry and a little bit more green
for this scenario a better club would be a more lofted one, something like a sand wedge
and roughly when using a sand wedge you're looking to land the ball about half way.
So a good routine would be when you're on the golf course, playing partners are doing their thing.
You're going to try and pick a landing point about half way and I'm going to put a ball to represent
where that would be, about here.
So now I'm using the flag in terms of my reference point where I'm aiming, but I'm going to
use that landing point
for my distance control.
So now I'm going to do some practice swings
and in my practice swings on trying to visulize and feel how much swing do I need
to land it about half way and then it'll roll the remaining half.
Let's give it a go.
Pretty good, landed about half way.
Roll towards the target, not too bad at all.
So that's a great shot to use when we've got a little bit more rough to carry.
Now I go over here
and I've got a little bit of rough.
Little bit of rough which means this shot is not really going to be the easiest one.
The easier one would be much more like an 8 iron.
For this I'm looking to land the ball about a third of the way.
Which again, looking at it from side on
that's about, there.
Ok, so much smaller swing,
a lot easier.
If I now do a practice swing.
Again trying to visualize how much length of swing I need.
Which is going to be a smaller one.
I'll land it somewhere near that spot.
It actually jumped over the ball which is quite handy.
And it rolls towards the hole, perfect. Ok, give that a go.
