Chipping is an important, but sometimes neglected part of the game. There’s nothing worse than setting yourself up perfect, then blowing it all with a poor chip shot. Follow these tips and stop costing yourself vital strokes from poor chip shots. These tip are sure to improve your accuracy and consistency.

  1. The ability to lead the clubface through impact greatly affects consistency.

  2. Focus on delivering a descending blow and not an upswing.

  3. Do not try to slide the clubface under the ball or scoop the ball up.

  4. You want the majority of your weight on your left foot, atleast 70%.

  5. Don’t get wristy. Let your whole body move the club, not just your wrists.

  6. You want your feet positioned fairly close together when setting up a chip shot.

  7. Keep your hands ahead of the ball during your swing.

  8. Lead to a controlled smooth follow-through on the swing.

  9. Choose the right club. Many golfers tend to use only one club for chipping; experiment.

  10. The clubhead should follow a straight line from the backswing to the follow-through.

Well that’s it for my golf chipping tips. I hope you find them helpful. Always try to think of chipping as more of an art than the rest of the game. Now get out there and put these tips to work.
