Think the leading edge chipping technique and using the bounce look the same? | Neo-E launch monitor
In this instructional video, PGA professional Aimee Cho (Golf with Aimee) compares chipping using the leading edge versus using the club's bounce. By analyzing real-time performance data on the Nvisage Neo-E launch monitor, she demonstrates how engaging the bounce creates more consistent launch and spin rates, supported by a step-by-step drill.
Digging the leading edge into the turf significantly increases the risk of fat and thin miss-hits.
Utilizing the bounce of the wedge allows the sole to slide across the grass, offering a much higher margin for error.
Launch monitor data confirms significant differences in launch angle, spin, and consistency between the two techniques.
Practicing shallow turf contact helps master distance and spin control around the green.
