Your Sign To Chip With A Different Wedge #golfnetwork #golf #progolfer #golftips #chippingtips

The moment I decided to start chipping with multiple wedges and not only my lob wedge was the moment I became way better around the greens, and here’s why. With the lob wedge, I would always resort back to the back foot bump, which limited the shots I was comfortable with and got the leading edge stuck in the grain when I had a difficult lie. Changing the club allowed me to change the chipping motion. I had less loft, so I would open the face up slightly and stay closer to the ball to use the bounce of the wedge and get the heel off the ground. In this position, I could lean the handle forward and hit a low shot with a little bit of spin. Or I could reduce the shaft and launch it a lot higher. I can also use the same technique with different clubs. When I have more green to work with, I would move down into my pitching wedge and get it to release a lot more. And if I had less green and needed the ball to spin, I would go back to that lob wedge. When I was only using the lob wedge, higher shots were difficult because I was always so set on this back foot stab motion. But now that I’ve changed up the clubs and technique, adapting to situations around the green and executing the right shot has become much easier.
