WhyGolf explains how to master the bump and run chip shot in just 30 seconds by focusing on three essential keys. The video demonstrates using a towel under the armpits for rotation and a chipping plate to maintain forward weight distribution. These techniques help golfers achieve controlled outcomes and lower scores by reducing high-risk shots around the green.
Maintain relatively still hands through the entire swing to avoid flipping.
Keep armpits tucked (or use a towel) to ensure the body rotates as one unit.
Place the majority of your weight on your lead foot to ensure a crisp strike.
The bump and run is often more predictable than a high lofted chip, even for pros.
Consistent short game fundamentals help eliminate three-putts and lower total scores.
