It's not something that's going to take a lot of practice to learn and, while it's not the answer to every chipping and pitching situation - it won't help you out of deep rough, for instance - it's certainly useful in most of the common situations you're likely to find yourself in.Īnd one last thought: If you're going out to celebrate the New Year tonight, leave your clubs at home. By doing this, you "keep your hands in front of you" and keep a steady distance between you and the ball. You're hitting the shot by turning your upper body rather than relying on the little muscles in your wrists and hands. You keep your wrists relaxed and both upper arms touching your chest throughout the stroke. In a single sentence, it's just a chip or pitch shot that relies on connection for its consistency.
