CHIP SHOTS Around the Green are SO MUCH EASIER with this Short Game Technique - (LIVE GOLF CLINIC)
PGA coach Kerrod Gray demonstrates how to hit easier, more consistent chip shots around the green by setting up taller and closer to the ball. By positioning the club more upright like a putter and maintaining an equal-sided back-and-through stroke, golfers can improve turf interaction and dial in distance control without forcing speed through impact.
Stand taller and closer to the ball to make the wedge shaft more upright, operating on a straighter arc like a putter.
Grip down naturally on the wedge so your arms hang freely beneath your shoulders.
Control chipping distance primarily through backswing length rather than forcing acceleration at impact.
Utilize a smooth, equal-sided pendulum stroke where follow-through length naturally matches backswing length.
Use practice swings to sense target distance while ensuring the clubhead only lightly brushes the turf.
