Chipping

Golf / Popular

Control low running shots around the green with a stable, simple motion.

What coaches agree on

  • Set up with a little extra weight on your front foot and your chest slightly ahead of the ball, so the swing's low point falls at or just past the ball rather than behind it.
  • Play the shot with your body — turn your chest and torso back and through — and keep your hands and wrists quiet rather than flicking the club with your arms.
Show more
  • Choose your club based on the trajectory and distance the shot calls for, then hit it with the same basic technique you use for every other club in the bag.

Common mistakes

  • A common mistake is letting your weight or upper body hang back away from the target through the shot, often while trying to help the ball into the air, which drops the swing's low point behind the ball and causes fat or thin contact.
