Golf Studio breaks down club selection for chipping by analyzing carry and roll ratios across different lofts. The lesson incorporates TrackMan chip data, the Rule of 12, and green factors like slope and speed to help golfers pick the ideal landing spot and club.
Different lofts (sand wedge vs. pitching wedge vs. 7-iron) produce vastly different roll distances despite landing on the exact same spot.
Pick your landing spot on the green first, then select the club that rolls the ball the remaining distance to the hole.
Factor in green speed, slope, and ball position when calculating how far a chip shot will roll.
Use the Rule of 12 as a framework to estimate carry-to-roll ratios for each club in your bag.
