Pitch Right

 

Pitch Right

 

If you want to control your shots more effectively around the greens, the best thing you can do is set up with a narrow stance and always remember to keep the shaft leaning toward the target. This setup position also helps to avoid flubbed chipped shots.

Use your left arm as a guide for how much lean is needed, and remember to keep the clubface square to the target.  During the stroke, maintain this forward-shaft lean position. You’ll see how easy it is to hit straight and accurate chips more often.

To chip with consistency, remember to keep your hands ahead of the golf ball. This will help you control trajectory and spin on shots around the green.
