Chippo sets are made of reinforced ABS plastic, artificial turf and nylon netting affixed to each of the three scoring holes To lower your handicap, you need to possess a solid short game that can rescue you from countless dropped shots. In this guide, you’ll find 9 golf chipping tips to help you improve around the greens. Like your putting stroke, a good chipping stroke will require your arms to stay relatively intact and quiet during the motion. Think about your arms and shoulders forming a triangle: Your goal is to keep that triangle intact while it moves throughout your motion. To start, grab 3 golf balls and drop them somewhere 4-10 yards away from the practice green, giving yourself a few yards of carry distance before the ball makes it to the green. Around the practice area, select 9 different chipping locations and pins/targets on the green. If playing with a partner or group, alternate who chooses the location. This chipping location becomes the “hole,” each with a par of 2. The object of the game is simple, complete the hole (chipping up and putting out) in as few strokes as possible, direct practice for getting up-and-down out on the course.Remember not to confuse a pitch and a chip shot. A pitch is a higher shot with more carry and is normally used from a greater distance. A chip is a lower flying shot that rolls further than it travels in the air.

This chipping drill has you targeting different flags on the practice putting green. It requires the club you use for your chip shots and 6 balls. The loft on the club changes, therefore changing the trajectory, which in turn affects the roll of the ball. Inconsistent distances will result. The best chippers out there hit shots with various clubs and ball positions to get the type of shot they want, so this game will have your clubs “compete” against each other to be the champion chipper. Then reverse it by chipping to the far hole, then the middle hole, then the closest hole and making all 3 up and downs in a row. In this video , Top 100 teacher Eric Johnson provides an example of the rule. He counts the paces from his ball to his target landing zone and onto the cup. He calculates 4 paces for flight and 12-paces for roll.It challenges you to control your putting distance so that you leave yourself room for each following putt to beat the previous. If you make the first putt from 80 feet away, you can’t really beat that! Learning how to improve chipping around the green requires practice and time. Employ the 9 chipping tips that we have provided, and learn how to read the speed and slope of the greens. What Club Do Pros Chip With?

Start by chipping to the short distance hole, then the medium distance, and then the far distance hole. Convert all 3 up and downs in a row. An up and down is when you successfully chip a ball onto the green and sink the following putt on the first try. No two putts. Pitch shots produce a lot of air time and little roll. Chip shots, on the other hand, are used when a golfer wants to fly the ball as little as possible and roll the ball as much as possible.We all want to chip it close, so this game rewards you for getting the ball to finish as close to the target as possible. Starting from a target spot on the practice green, take a roughly three-foot stride out and place a tee, then another, and one or two more. Four tees would form three-foot, six-foot, nine-foot, and twelve-foot rings for scoring. That concludes our lecture on golf chipping tips. You now have the knowledge. So you can go apply it. Instead of focusing on distance in your long game, spend more time on the chipping green.

Finally, take your lob wedge – or most lofted club – and place your marker some 75%-80% distance down towards the flag.

10 Short Game Drills for Improving Quicker

There are plenty of options when it comes to calibrating your distances. My preferred method is to learn one basic stroke size that you are really comfortable with, and to simply change the club. This will alter the distance due to changing flight-to-roll ratios. There are numerous reasons why your chipping is so bad. For starters, you may not be factoring in the gradient of the green and its speed. Or your rhythm is completely off. Instead of holding the club by the grip like you normally would hold it with your hands way down the shaft, just above the clubhead. The main center hole is the target to hit to, but they also have two small holes representing water and sand which you want to avoid! Since our goal in chipping is to roll the ball along the ground as much as possible, it is important to understand the air-time/ground-time ratios of chip shots hit with different clubs. The selection of the correct club is vital. You can chip with anything from a 3-iron to a sand wedge depending on the situation, but you must know the following formulas (also illustrated in the accompanying chart) to decide which club is required:
