  1. Struggling with maintaining soft grip pressure and tempo on my chips and looking for a feel or pointers.

    Do not use hands, but rotate your chest going back and through the ball.

    The simplest and finest short game instruction I have found (for me) is in this video - it is literally the only lesson that has significantly helped my pitching and chipping - everything prior to this fell short - but this instruction really clicked for me, so here's hoping it contains something useful for you too. youtu.be/F4zq8oUm5yQ
  4. Thanks for the info!

    Hey Andrew - I recommend checking out this page. There are a lot of videos and demonstrations that have helped my game. It could be a set up correction or thought process. Give this a go.

    Grip pressure is often affected by anxiety. If you're struggling with chipping or get anxious in the process, I would recommend the "toe down" method until you have a certain level of comfort. It's simply standing closer until the shalf is somewhat vertical and the heel is off the ground (thus toe down) and using a putting like motion.

    That said, Richard is right, take your hands out of it and rotate your chest. If you do this properly, your grip pressure will be about a 2 on a scale of 1-10.

    As well as lessons from a coach, I recommend checking out Dan Grieves he provides some great tips on short game techniques.

    grip pressure, shaft lean, leading edge, bounce. So many factors!
    I agree with thethought of getting less hands involved and rotate through with chest following the ball down the line.

  9. soft hands
    dont use hands
    smooth tempe= coca cola ;)
    rotate chest
    believe in alignment & believe the shot
