Chunking a chip It’s not fun. Parts is an equal part lost in the brain and ego bruised.
In my experience, there are five mistakes you can make to shred one: 1) a strong check, which invites the lead of the club to dig very early; 2) Shoulder title How to set to hit the driver – this can again cause a ball excavation; 3) shaking or off the ball; 4) swing too far from the outside; and 5) Unjust closure of the face on the back.
Fixing no. 1 is easy – get a slightly weaker check. The other two? Put it with even soup and hold your nose in front of the ball from start to finish. Last two? A sprashing station can help.
Catch a wedge and place one of your handcuffs behind the ball, pointing down your target line. Your goal: allow the club toe to “get up” to the sky as you swing again as you keep your swinging inside the club on the ground.
Feeling like you are going more than around? Then pull this trail on the way back down. Copy what you learned here and you will be Catch any fresh chip How many times.
