Crisp Approaches
March 11, 2010 by Admin

For short chip/pitch shots stand with a narrow stance, closer to the ball. In order to eliminate the likelihood of blading the ball, play the ball off of the toe of the club. Standing closer to the ball automatically raises the toe so that during the swing the sole of the club will not make full contact with the ground.
For better control, grip down on the handle which will make the shaft shorter. Hold the club in a delicate manner using light grip pressure.
