PGA Professional Georgia Ball provides a comprehensive guide to consistent chipping by treating it as a unique swing separate from full shots. She demonstrates essential setup adjustments, the Towel Drill for body connection, and how to utilize different clubs from a 60-degree wedge to a 7-iron to simplify short-game results.
Position the ball toward the back of your stance and lean 60% of your weight onto your lead foot.
Stand closer to the ball and grip down on the club to encourage a more vertical, putter-like stroke.
Keep the hands quiet and avoid wrist hinge; the movement should be driven by a rocking motion of the shoulders.
Utilize the bounce of the club by keeping the shaft relatively neutral rather than leaning it too far forward or back.
Experiment with lower-lofted clubs like a 7-iron for chips with no obstacles, as they roll more predictably like a putt.
