Golf Chipping Tips

Accurate golf chipping tips are best effective when they come from a pro with years of experience practicing this facet of their game.  The following paragraphs are examples of the information we have taken from successful pros and combined to form a great resource for you as you improve your game.

Basically, here’s what happens when a Tour pro hits a golf ball:The right side of the torso coils around and behind and even a little forward, the arms are lifted up and away from the torso, resulting in a major rotational stretch of thigh and torso muscles.

Thigh and hip muscles fire snappily creating incremental stretch in mid-torso rotator muscles. The left hip rotates way around and behind and the rotating hips are pulled forward. Then mid/upper torso muscles fire, whirling the shoulders. Lagging arms and hands circle wildly, accelerating the whiphead to 120+ miles per hour in less than 0.3 second.

If your concept of the ‘swing’ is back-then-forth, encouraged by the face-on twodimensional views prevalent on tv screens and magazine pages, then during your ‘backswing’ your right hip may slide more sideways and back than rotate around, behind and forward. And, during your ‘downswing’, your left hip may slide more sideways and forward than rotate around, behind and back.

The primary moves by Tour pros are around and behind. The primary use of “back” and “forward” in published instruction is off by 90 degrees.  This game is played closer to the ground, more bent over, than most golfers realize.
