PGA coach Dan Grieve breaks down the essential setup and swing mechanics for the chip and run shot. By leaning weight forward and maintaining quiet wrists, golfers can achieve clean contact and reliable green-side roll. This lesson simplifies short game technique to help improve distance control and consistency.
Set up with a narrow stance and favor 60-70% of your weight on the lead foot.
Position the ball middle-to-back in your stance with slightly forward shaft lean.
Use a pendulum-style swing controlled by the shoulders with minimal wrist hinge.
Allow the ball to land just onto the green and roll out predictable distances like a putt.
