Tom Stickney on the Y Chipping Style (Video)

This is a cutting-edge tip just published on Friday. Many of you've got heard of 'wristless' chipping. In this video, Stickney offers you the basics.

One thing that caught my eye about this video is that Stickney gives you the range for this chipping technique -- from the edge of the green to roughly ten feet off the green. This is not a power chip, folks, so you don't want to use it when you're too far away from the putting surface!

The setup is simple. Just location the ball immediately in line with the huge toe of your trailing foot and lean the clubshaft ahead until your fingers are contrary your lead thigh.

And whilst you stroke, don't use your wrists. Instead, you make a setting stroke controlled by way of your shoulders. You need to maintain the identical wrist angle in the course of the stroke. This way, the gap is managed completely by way of the length of your swing.

In my opinion, the biggest advantage you gain by using this stroke is trajectory control. Inconsistency in the distance you hit chips is most often caused by hitting some shots high and others low. This technique eliminates most of that height variation.

If this stroke feels herbal to you, it is a automatically easy way to carry greater consistency in your brief recreation.
