Chipping Can Lower Your Scores

Improved chipping takes strokes off your game and custom fitted wedges makes good chipping better.

Many golfers who want to improve spend many hours practicing hitting Drivers, Full-shot Irons, Fairway Woods and Hybrids, I am amazed how few spend as much time with the short game...particularly Chipping. A good estimate is that mastering the chipping skills could reduce at least 4 - 6 shots per 18 hole round. Regardless of how good a player you are, you'll eventually find yourself faced with a little chip ... First, start by choosing the proper club for the shot at hand.


The general rule of thumb is to select a club that will get the ball onto the green rolling much like a putt. Could be a 7 -8-9-PW, etc. A little practice will tell you. The proper Club is also the right Set of Clubs, particularly in the Wedges. They must be Fit for Loft, Lie & Length to increase the consistency of each Chip or Pitch shot.
