3 Chipping Problems & How to Fix Them

- The 3 Biggest Chipping Errors we see in our schools are 1) too much lateral motion; aka leg drive, 2) loss of the radius; too much extension of the arms, and 3) too much forward bend for too long.
How do you fix these and maintain your radius?
Issue #1 - Too much leg drive
Add some rotation to your stroke. Allow the body to rotate both on the backstroke and thru stroke. Using only the arms often leads to too much lateral movement.
Issue #2 - Loss of the Radius
Allow the trail arm to bend and maintain that bend throughout the strokes motion. You don’t need to extend the arms for more width (a bad thing in chipping) Allow the arms to be soft with some bend and keep them that way the entire stroke.
Issue #3 - Too much forward bend for too long
Golfers are notorious for reading something and applying it incorrectly or overdoing it to an extreme. ‘Keeping your head down.’ Is one such thing. If you keep your head down too long in the forward stroke there won’t be any room for the club to contact the ball crispy. Change this by allowing your target side leg to straighten. This will push the left hip, torso, and head upwards as you approach impact and allow crisp, clean contact.
If you’ve tried these things and are still having trouble feel free to reach out to us for a private lesson when visiting the Hilton Head Island area or via online video.

What is The Golf Paradigm (Pair-a-dime)?
The Golf Paradigm is a theory that encompasses a Whole-In-One approach to improvement. It begins with the overall paradigm; i.e. the game of golf. Followed by two parts that are always to remain in balance; i.e. the golf yin/yang - ‘improving’ and ‘enjoyment’. Helping to maintain that balance are the 5 elements of the game; the swing, club fitting, health/fitness, mental, and integration. Knowing which area to focus on and how the other areas supplement that helps to form the golfers ‘recipe’ for improvement. As the golfer improves their recipe, or what is focused on, changes and this is what allows them to reach levels of play they never thought possible. It’s not magical, but it’s close.
