Pete Cowen's Basic Chipping Technique

I assume that maximum of who Pete Cowen is. He works with a variety of European pros -- Henrik Stenson is one you would possibly have heard of! -- and many in the golf enterprise don't forget him one of the two or three great teachers on this planet.

Today I've were given a brief video wherein Pete teaches you fundamental chipping method. This is clearly easy, oldsters, and I assume you may locate it very useful in case you're having troubles.

Let me call your interest to 1 particular point. Pete says your wrists can only hinge four methods. He demonstrates them quick on this video, beginning around the :12 2d mark. Here are the four ways (his terms for them are in parentheses):

1. Up (wrist cock)
2. Down (downcock)
3. Backward (hinge back)
4. Forward (hinge forward)

He says that, during a chip, your trail hand hinges BACKWARD ONLY (no up or down) and your lead hand just kind of goes along for the ride. (Although the lead hand is moving with the trail hand, the lead wrist doesn't really have to hinge to do it. Try it and see.) Just be sure to flow each palms collectively ; that will keep you from flipping your hands at impact.

This is a very traditional technique of chipping, and I suppose you may be pleasantly amazed at how easy it's miles to get top consequences this manner.

You're welcome. ;-)
