1 Great Fix To Stop Pulling Chip Shots…
When you stand over a chip shot there is a good chance you often say “I think I can make this”. You make solid contact only to look up and see the ball five feet left of the hole. The part that kills you is you had the right touch but the wrong direction.
When you pull your chip shots one of three things happens. You either addressed the ball with the club face closed, swung the clubhead out to in or rolled the toe closed in the downswing.
Today I am going to share with you how to make sure you start with the club face square at address. I have never seen an amateur address their chip shots with the club face too open, they either set it down square or closed.
The easiest way to make sure you are addressing the golf ball with a square face is to lay a straight edge on the ground aiming in the direction you want the ball to start. Place the ball about 3-4 inches away from the straight edge. Set the club down and make sure the BOTTOM groove or LEADING edge of the club face is perpendicular to the straight edge. (DO NOT TOE THE CLUB FACE IN)
I already know what you are going to say…The club face now looks OPEN…it isn’t…try it out and you just might start holing out your chip shots.
