Hello Friends its Chipping Chewsday, innit!? If your your chipping stroke is the same length no matter your distance, and you control your distance with slower swings or less force for shorter shots. Then stay put because you’re making things much harder on yourself than you need. One very easy thing you can concentrate on to make sure you’re making consistent, crisp contact with your wedges is to always accelerate through the ball. Meaning your swing never slows down and as you transition from the end of your backswing down to impact with the ball. The ground is the only thing that slows your club is the ground, so how do we control our distances with that? The length of our backs swing! If I have a 20 yard pitch versus a 10 yard one, the only thing I’ll do differently for that 20 yard pitch is take my club to here instead of here and no matter where I stop my backs swing, try to create as club head speed as I can. A great way to gauge and replicate your distances shot to shot is to use the clock method, where straight down is 6 o’clock straight up is 12 and the time on your clock tells you your distances. Figure out your seven o’clock your eight o’clock all those “times” with your wedges, that’ll be a lot easier to replicate than using 5 or 10 percent your swing speed.
