Tour Quality Chipping Tips

If you want chipping tips that will help you chip like the pro's then look no further than what's on this page.

To learn how to chip these are the steps below:

• Setup with a narrow stance with your upper center(shirt button) stacked over your belt, key here is to have no tilt to the right for a right handed golfer

• Weight is distributed with 60 percent of weight on the left leg and 40 percent on the right

• Ball placement is located in middle of stance or a ball or two further back

• Next is to practice with your hands moving along an imaginary tilted hula hoop

• Once you have this feel, you will then simultaneously bend the right elbow while taking backstroke and keep the hands moving along the tilted hula hoop

• The left arm should stay straight or slightly bent during back swing

• On the down swing left arm stays straight and then at impact the left elbow will start to bend slightly

• The left elbow bending allows the impact to be crisp and prevent the shot from being hit fat

• Be sure to keep hands going around circle to where your hands will finish resting beside your left hip pocket

• Finally, make sure you do not allow the shaft to go past the hands

To be able to execute this chip shot like the pro's you are going to have to focus on the importance of the left arm bending at impact.

This bending motion is evident in a lot of tour player's chipping techniques.

The following pictures will demonstrate:

If the left arm remains straight through impact your chances of hitting a chunk shot just multiplied. Vice versa if your left arm bends too quickly before impact your chances of hitting the ball thin will be increased.
