STOP Chunking Chips – Head Position Secret
So this would be the standard pinch shot. Yeah. Hands leading the club. Hands leading is absolutely fine. What you mustn’t do if you’re going to play with the shaft leaning a lot is lean your head back because if you do that then you’ll take the biggest divot imaginable and you’ll think possibly that you were too steep because that could only be caused by a steep steep swing, couldn’t it? Well, actually, no. It’s caused by the head moving back, not because your hands were leading too much. If your head’s forward in the correct spot, like it is here, then the divot e although it’s quite deep. It’s off ground here today. Um, will be by the right heel, which is hopefully where you’ve put the ball. So, to say, oh, I was too shallow, is not right. Now, you see that’s actually a steeper swing, but the divot is less deep than it would be if I was back here. Here you can see the only difference really is the head position is not caused by the hands leading. Hands leading is absolutely fine. Hands leading lowish
Hands leading is correct for chipping, but only if your head position stays behind the ball through impact.
