Dave Pelz and His Foolproof Chipping Method

I've mentioned this in numerous beyond posts, however Dave Pelz has eventually completed a video describing why it's simpler to chip with a short iron than a wedge -- in this case, an 8-iron. This is a 4-minute video that may prevent numerous strokes!

I'm now not going to repeat everything in his video, but right here's the gist of it:

When you use a quick iron and circulate the ball again a piece in your stance, you remove unpredictable backspin (will the ball chunk or not?) and the possibility of flipping the membership, which causes a mis-hit. Dave places the ball off his trailing ankle and angles his toes towards the target, which makes it seem like the ball is waaaaay back in his stance. (That mechanically delofts the club, btw.) Then he uses his palms and shoulders to make a easy movement -- a deadhanded shot, which we have mentioned before.

Look, there are lots of ways to chip and pitch. Sometimes you want to use the soar and your hands a chunk to get backspin on a pitch (we've talked about that earlier than, which include in this Azinger submit) and from time to time you simply need a sincere chipping motion. This honestly is an almost foolproof manner to hit respectable chips with out traumatic approximately hitting them fats.
