8 min
3 sets of 10 chips
Beginner
Demonstration video coming soon
Instructions
- 1Open the clubface slightly and set the handle only slightly ahead of the ball.
- 2Make a shallow, brushing swing that slides the sole along the turf.
- 3Feel the leading edge stay off the ground so bounce, not edge, meets the turf.
- 4Repeat from tight lies once contact stops digging behind the ball.
What to focus on
Letting the bounce interact with the ground instead of the leading edge.
Common mistake
Excessive trail-side pressure and a steep, digging strike that causes fat chips.
