Become an expert in chipping

A chip shot refers to a “loft-sided” shot which lifts the ball in the air for one-third part of it and rolls the rest two-thirds on the greens. The entire aim is to lift off the ball from the fringe of the green and put the ball on the putting green near the hole. Some top golfers also attempt to sink the ball in with their chipping. That is the reason that chipping clubs are precious and must be selected with care. A golf chipping club can make or break the game. After all, it is what decides how far the ball would move in the air and also on the ground.

How to choose golf chipping club?

While choosing a golf chipping club, one must try to practice and experiment with all the golf clubs so they can observe the movement of the ball, its direction and also understand the “feel” of the club in the hand. When a golfer constantly experiments with different sets of golf clubs then he/she would realize that different golf chipping clubs produce different ranges in shots. Thus, selecting the right kind of chipping clubs can make a great deal of difference. For example using the same length of swing, the shot played with a 5-iron will carry farther and also roll a longer distance. This can be compared with a pitching wedge that hits the ball higher into the air and also stop it quickly. You may also choose playing a chip shot with a 3-wood but not an iron club which might snag resulting in a fluffed shot.

Selecting the right club is easier but one must amalgamate and practice with the same club for getting the right impact on the ball. Using a chipping shot with a snandwedge cause the ball to fly in the sir and roll just 10% on the ground. Compared to this, the 3-iron club ensures that the ball rolls 90% on the ground and zips ahead of us.

Chipping club selection

Once you know what ratio of carry and roll one can expect with the clubs that one carry in the bag, the selection of golf chipping clubs get easier. All you have to do is to carry out a good and thorough research about this matter. Practice well to have an idea on this matter. You aim must be to choose a club that gives you lot of space in terms of distance control. If the ball is further away from the green, then you will need a more lofted club which will ensure that the ball flies to a distance and then begins to roll on the putting green.

One can also be greatly benefited by the chipping shot. Watch how the ball is rolling on the putting green. That would give a fair idea about the behavior of the ball and you can estimate how the ball would roll in the next putt.
