If you Struggle With Chipping, Just Do This Before Every Chip Shot

Struggle with chipping, fat chip shots or thin chips around the green?

In this Danny Maude golf lesson, you’ll learn a simple chipping technique that improves contact and distance control and helps you strike chip shots more consistently from tight lies, rough and higher shots around the green.

The big difference between consistent chippers and golfers who struggle with their short game is often the direction the body moves through impact. Good chippers tend to stay over the golf ball and move positively through the shot, while inconsistent chippers often fall backwards and hit the ground too soon.

Danny Maude shows you a simple setup using your most lofted wedge that encourages the clubface to square naturally through impact, helping you strike the golf ball before the ground without having to think about lots of complicated positions.

In this chipping lesson, you’ll learn:

• How to stop hitting fat and thin chip shots
• Why golfers often hit the ground before the golf ball
• How good chippers move through impact
• Why opening the clubface can actually make chipping easier
• How to use a 60-degree wedge around the green
• Why the clubface should reduce loft through impact
• How to create cleaner contact and more spin
• How to hit a low spinning chip shot
• How to hit a higher chip shot that lands softly
• How to chip successfully from deep rough
• Why leaning backwards causes inconsistent chipping
• A simple chipping drill you can practise before every round

If your chipping technique feels unreliable, the key isn’t necessarily adding more technical thoughts. This drill gives your body a simple problem to solve: start with plenty of loft and allow the clubface to square naturally as you move positively through the golf ball.

The same basic chipping motion can then be adapted for low shots, higher soft shots and difficult lies in the rough.
