On this 'golf tip online' page, I want to share one of the best chipping tips ever.
When I chip well, I eliminate the 'breaking' of my wrists during my follow-through. When the wrists 'break', it basically means that the hands stop leading the stroke, allowing the clubhead to lead. Allowing the clubhead to be in front of the hands, is a critical error, which can lead to all kinds of problems.
To have any hope of chipping well consistently, the hands must always lead the stroke, with the clubhead following into impact.
I use a really simple, but very useful chipping drill to stop my wrists from breaking, with the aim of forcing my hands to lead the stroke.
While gripping my wedge, I grip another club with its shaft extending past my left hip. I then practice chipping with my normal stroke, while the shaft extending past my hip, stops my wrists from breaking on the follow-through.
Try this drill out on the range, until you really get the feeling of your hands leading in your chipping stroke - this technique will dramatically improve your chipping.
