Do you golf? advice needed

The MOST important factor for pitching and chipping, is to MAKE SURE that your hands (those dangly things at the end of your arms) are in FRONT (closer to the target) of the ball and the clubhead at impact. This may seem to deloft the club, but you will not hit those "bladed" shots where the ball goes very low and hard over the green...ALSO, be sure to "finish" the shot by accelerating to a full or fuller finish position. Don't chop down, and stop directly after impact...accelerate to a nice finish.

If you can just do those two things, you will be able to get the ball up, and be able to hit it a consistent distance, and have it stop on the green. Then once you have that action, practice more full swings, or less full swings to regulate distance...

Good Luck, and please send me $50 for the lesson.

i'll practice today at the range and let you know how it works out.

yeah its more like trapping the ball than trying to make this long floppy type swing. Its almost a putter stroke with a closed club head that produces a pitch that land 3\4 of the way to the hole then runs like a put. get good at that before trying a Phil Mickelson flop shot. Also using a lower loft club like a 8 or 7 iron will keep the shot lower and more run. The idea is to get the ball rolling if possible first.

All good advise. But if you're trying to make the ball check, hitting down on it a bit will add spin and keep it from running too far. Just practice getting the feel of it and then you can tweak your shots.

yeah guys, I need to start off real basic here then fine tune.


So feeth in front of the ball.

hands in front of the club head.

hit the ball with the face of the head, not the front of it.

get under it with the head.

correct?

oh and feet together.. head down.. hands soft.

watch this little vid....keep your hands in front of impact, and just accelerate....you can lengthen this swing to hit it farther...
