Alex Elliott demonstrates a versatile chipping system using a single 58-degree wedge to execute low, medium, and high shots by adjusting ball position and weight. He introduces the 'Tee Peg Drill' to help golfers master arc depth, effectively eliminating fat and thin strikes from their short game.
Use one high-lofted wedge (like a 58°) for all chips to build consistent feel and spin control.
Control trajectory primarily through ball position: back for low, middle for medium, and front foot for high shots.
Maintain a 70/30 weight distribution toward the lead side for all standard chips to ensure a clean strike.
The Tee Peg Drill fixes fat/thin shots by teaching you to 'flee' the club flatter to the ground for longer through impact.
For extra-high 'short-sided' shots, lower the handle and stand slightly further away from the ball.
