If you struggle with chunked chips, bladed wedges, or inconsistent distance control, you’re probably making one (or more) of these five common chipping mistakes. In this lesson, Coach Ed Schwent breaks down the biggest setup and technique errors golfers make around the greens — and shows you exactly how to fix them.

You’ll learn how your hands are supposed to hinge (and why “wristy” isn’t always wrong), why trying to create loft ruins contact, and how ball position controls trajectory and rollout. Ed also explains why most golfers set up incorrectly — open stance, open shoulders, too wide of a base — and how a square, narrow, level setup dramatically improves consistency.

Finally, you’ll discover the most important concept in chipping: focus on your landing spot, not the hole. When you control trajectory and landing location, distance control becomes much easier and your scores drop fast. Apply these five fundamentals and you’ll start hitting the best chip shots of your life.

  1. As always, great advice once again. AND it was nice to see you hitting a couple of balls 👍🇬🇧
    Thanks for sharing

  2. If the average golfer wants to be a better chipper of the ball, watch old film of Lee Trevino using different clubs. Stop trying to be Tiger or Phil using a 60 degree wedge on every shot. Take 3 balls and pick a hole on the practice green. Play the shot with different clubs (wedges thru 7 iron) until you can make the shot with every club. You'll be amazed how many strokes you save every round.

  3. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to golf season already here in upstate NY. Do you ever recommend toe-down chipping?

  4. Hi! If you are at 5 m to green and around 10-15 m to the hole in a standard situation what club would you use: PW, sw or 64'?
