Simple Stock Shot Golf Chipping Technique (Learn at home)
Alex Fortey from The Art of Simple Golf demonstrates a reliable stock chipping technique designed to eliminate fat and thin shots. By maintaining a vertical shaft at impact and utilizing a simple rocking motion, golfers can achieve consistent low-point control. This method focuses on a lead-side weight bias and a neutral shaft lean to ensure clean contact every time.
Place 60-70% of your weight on your lead side and tilt your hips forward at setup.
Position the ball in the middle of your feet with the club shaft vertical.
Use a rocking motion with the shoulders rather than an intentional wrist flip.
Focus on returning the club shaft to the vertical 'center' position at impact.
Rehearse this motion at home on a carpet to build muscle memory for better contact.
