With Phil posting a 60 on Thursday and leading the Desert Classic after Friday's spherical, it looks as if a terrific time to publish his micro-lesson on a way to play chip pictures.
Please be aware that Phil plays ALL his chips with a 60? Lob wedge. This isn't always what most instructors recommend but -- as with every things in golf and most things in lifestyles -- there is not simply one manner to achieve success.
Phil has three fundamentals, as outlined inside the video:
- Keep your weight on your forward foot
- Keep your hands forward
- Decide whether to hit the ball high or low
- Ball in front of back foot to go low
- Ball in front of forward foot to go high
Phil does NOT mention that his stance is slightly open. That reasons you to swing a piece out-to-in, that's why you open the clubface. (If you operate a rectangular clubface with this technique, you will pull all your chips.) Just watch the video and you'll see it. That's vital to this manner of chipping.
He makes use of the front edge of the wedge greater than the bounce, even though I should point out that it is a whole lot easier to apply the jump on a 60? Lob wedge with this approach than whilst you're using a wedge with much less loft (like a fifty six? Sand wedge). With Phil's approach and a lob wedge -- with the face open approximately 45? -- you are the use of the the front edge for the low shot and the bounce on the excessive shot.
Should you use this method instead of a multi-wedge method? It's all a count of what you experience snug with. Phil has been more a hit than many gamers together with his quick recreation truely due to the fact he uses the approach that he feels maximum comfortable with. That's a preference you can study from... And Phil's method is ready as simple to take into account as any.
You will need some practice to use it properly, of path. But is not that the case with everything in golf?
