Keith Mitchell on margin for error in chipping for steeper players #golf #pgatour #golflesson

I have to be honest…. I'm a plus handicap that has always considered chipping a strength of mine, but trying the Short Game Chefs chipping techniques gave me some serious yips and lack of confidence in my chipping for at least 2 seasons. I have stopped trying his methods, and instantly my chipping is back to where it's always been.

I understand the concept of what he talks about. Less wrists and shallow swings will lead to more consistent chipping, in theory. The problem is how much practicing and rewiring of your brain that takes. I was constantly yipping chips, getting them not even half way to the hole, it just takes so much practice and requires someone to know exactly where the ball is going to land in order to make that chipping style work.

I use a little wrist action sometimes. Sometimes I'm steeper on my chips, sometimes i shallow it out and minimize my wrists….. chipping is more artistic than the rest of the game, and his method is WAYYYY too robotic and inconsistent for me personally
