| Chipping
and pitching from 60 yards and in make up well over 40% of the game.
However, this part of the game is mostly overlooked. This shot has its
own basic fundamentals. And they are Hands ahead of the ball at impact.
Accelerate |

through the ball. Do not allow your wrists
to roll over through the impact zone. And most
importantly Keep your wrists out of this shot. If your club head passes
your hands during this shot, you have "scooped" the ball. This scooping
action makes the ball go high and since you have added the extra angle
of the left wrist, makes for massive inconsistency. Scooping comes from
the belief that you have to help the ball in the air. That is false.

| The
proper pitch and chip impact position The club loft is what gets the
ball in the air. You do not need to help it anymore than the loft
itself. If you have a longer chip from across the green, simply use a
longer iron. Pick your club based on 2 factors. How |
 |
much
fairway or rough do I have to carry and how much green do I have to
work with. The Wristfirm takes care of the shot fundamentals. Hands
ahead at impact. Dead
wrists through impact (no rolling over themselves) . All you have to
think of after you have answered the 2 questions above is the amount of
acceleration, which when you get very proficient will be about the same
with every chip and pitch. The loft of the club will do the work.
