The New Chipping Technique Making Amateurs Look Like Tour Pros 4K
Golf coach James Ridyard highlights the chest position at impact as the single most critical factor for crisp chipping contact. He explains why opening the chest toward the target and pointing it down ahead of the ball prevents flipping and chunked chips. The video features a right-hand-only drill and a static setup option to make achieving clean strikes easy.
Ensure your chest is rotated open to the target and pointing down toward the ground ahead of the golf ball at impact.
Allow chest rotation to lead club delivery rather than relying on wristy hands or arm lifting.
Use the right-hand-only chipping drill to feel the chest lead the downswing dynamically.
If dynamic rotation is difficult, open your feet, hips, and chest at setup to make achieving the open impact position effortless.
