Phil Mickelson: 3 Laws of Chipping Good Golfers Won't Tell You

Legendary golfer Phil Mickelson explains his three fundamental laws of chipping to ensure clean contact and trajectory control. He breaks down the mechanics of hand position, weight distribution, and ball placement while sharing professional secrets for the lob shot and heavy rough.

• Maintain an 'inverse line' with your hands ahead of the clubhead throughout the chip to avoid blading the ball.
• Place 80-90% of your weight on the front foot for most lies to keep the leading edge down.
• Never play the ball in the middle of your stance; use the back foot for low shots and the front foot for high shots.
• For lob shots from tight lies, drive the club into the ground and allow the bounce to pop the ball up.
• When playing from heavy rough, accelerate aggressively through impact to prevent the grass from grabbing the club.
