Tip of the Week- How to chip the ball in the air

I see so many golfers struggle to get the ball in the air with chip shots because they try and ‘help’ it into the air.

As soon as you lift up trying to lift the ball the leading edge contacts the ball sending it shooting along the ground.

You have to remember the club has loft on it (angle on the face) and this is what pops it in the air. Try swinging down into the back of the ball clipping the grass as you do so and the loft on the club will now make contact with the ball sending it into the air.

CLUB SWINGS DOWN……BALL FLY’s UP!

Its that simple.
