Practice Chipping With A 5 iron

Cal on March 27th, 2007

To practice chipping for accuracy, you must be able to:

- catch the ball cleanly,
- get it into the air,
- get it rolling as soon as possible.

Instead of using a wedge, try practicing with a 5 iron. This will force you to concentrate on making crisp smooth contact and a smooth stroke, or you will not be able to hit the ball well at all.

Once you master chipping with a 5 iron, move onto a higher lofted club and you will find it becomes easier to handle.
