What Clubs To Use To Chip With?
A chip shot should be easy to hit. The golfer takes a short swing and does not need to get the ball in the air far. A chip shot obviously rolls farther than it flies in the air, so you simply have to get it started to achieve your objective of getting the ball close to the hole.
Some golfers make chip shots more difficult than they need to be. Instead of utilising the same swing to hit multiple shots, they make a decision to take a lofted club and get happy with it. By doing that they are making this hard on themselves by having to swing an alternative way on each shot, rather than putting for a repeatable swing and letting the angle of the club do the work.
That is the reason why when a person asks me what club to chip with, I recommend you use each iron in your bag. This way you can concentrate on getting a single swing down for roughly the green.
When you are faced with a lot of green in front of you, and the ball is going to run a ways before stopping you ought to use a long iron. This permits the ball to come out very low. If you’re faced with a short chip and not a lot of roll, then employ a higher lofted club like a pitching wedge.
The other variable you have to consider is what’s in front of the ball. You may have a longer shot but there is plenty of rough in front of you. In that case you want to get the ball higher in the air and a long iron might not work.
Whatever you do, ensure that you allow the club’s loft to change the flight path of the ball. This will allow you to work on one easy swing instead of modifying little variables for each shot.
