Chip Shot Golf Checklist

Chip Shot Golf Sequence

Basic Chip Shot Golf Tips

This step-by-step chip shot checklist helps to drill and improve chip shot techniques.

1. Take a 6-, 7-, 8- or 9-iron or pitching wedge out of your lady golf clubs set.

2. Use your normal grip for this chip shot.

3. Address the ball with a narrow stance; placed more towards back foot.

4. Open your feet and shoulders a little, not too wide.

5. Lean your body a bit to the left of the pin.

6. Keep your shoulders and wrists firm, like you should hit with a putter.

7. Hands ahead of the ball, inside your left thigh. Your left hand has to block the vision of your left knee. (Right hand for lefthanded golfers)

8. Lean your weight to your front foot.

9. Aim the face of your lady golf club towards the target.

10. Make a slow tempo swing with your arms and shoulders. Like you want to put. Your arms and shoulders move like a pendulum clock.

11. Touch the ground - before you chip the ball. Crisp the grass. Accelerate through the ball and hit it off the toe of the club. Keep your hand ahead of the ball at impact.

12. The follow-through of a chip shot golf should have the same length as your back swing, as mentioned before, like a pendulum clock. A short backswing will cause short distance chipping, a long one a longer traject.

13. The lady golf club lifts up the ball, high in the air. Practice on the driving range or at the pitching and putting area, and you can make a perfect chip shot on the fairway within a reasonable distance to the pin.

14. And: don't look up to early! I think that's my most important tip :-)
