Wish I had seen this early, just spent some time on the practice putting green chipping. I seem to be making my swing too long, despite holding the club near the end of the grip. This means i am often decelarating coming in to the ball or over hitting it. Does anyone have a drill to try to limit the length of the back swing ?

If you have any young children, place one of them about 2 feet behind the ball.
That should help to shorten the swing.
Failing that, your golf bag
:D

Used the above around the greens today, but towards the front foot and saw improvement around the greens. Cheers Bob.

I used to have - teenager now - do you mean the golf bag standing up straight on its base or lying flat out ?

Bob,

Thanks for the vid. Was a good reminder for me of the way I chip best. Played after work yesterday and every chip was crisp, which hasn't happened for quite a while. :angry:

Surprised that it wasn't a V-Easy stretched across the baskets though, :D

I wonder if you are really better off selling them yourself Bob.

Thinking about it the other way, if other people are selling them at least they have to restock and makes the v-easy more popular to more people (shops).
