Katie Rule's Chipping Tips (Video)

A month or so returned I posted Katie's electricity tips. Today she seems at the alternative intense of the game -- her tips on higher chipping. While she says she's talking specially to women, her recommendations are accurate for any player.

Her first tip is some thing many gamers in no way reflect onconsideration on.

• Choose where you want the ball to land first.

Unless you do this first, you don't have a good frame of reference for choosing the best club for the shot. Pick your landing spot, give the area from there to the hole a quick study, and choose your club with that knowledge.

Her 2nd tip is all approximately setup.

• Narrow your stance so that you have only a clubhead's period among your feet, and place the ball off the big toe of your trailing foot.

This is narrower than many players ever consider, but this combination of narrow stance and ball position guarantees that you'll hit the ball first with a downward stroke. That's important from the rough.

And her very last tip in all fairness natural for most gamers.

• Grip down at the club, almost to the shaft.

A shorter shaft is easier to control, especially from the rough.

Simple suggestions, however we all need to remind ourselves of the fundamentals sometimes if we need to maintain our games sharp.
