Always try to select a club with enough loft to carry the fringe in
front of you. For Example: If you have less fringe to carry and
several yards to the hole, you should pick an 8 or 7 iron. If you
have more fringe to carry and less green to work with, select a 9
iron, or pitching wedge.
Reminders:
►
Feet close together slightly
open posture.
►
Long Running Chip: Position ball towards
back foot, hands slightly tilting (pressed) forward.
►
Short Chip: Position ball in mid-stance, hands even
or just slightly in front of ball.
►
Create a pendulum action with your shoulders and
arms, while using a dead hand action (no wrist break).
►
How much fringe to Carry dictates club selection.
►
Use a short rhythmic swing to bump the ball onto the
green.
For best results, I normally
try to take most of the guess work out of this shot by eliminating
any wrist action thru impact. Flimsy wrists can create too many
problems with timing and mis-hits, causing inconsistent results. For
the Bump and Run Shot Chip Shot, the position you start your hands
and wrists at address will remain the same through out the entire
motion of this shot. Let the club do the work for you and the loft
and ball position will create the results you are looking for.
