Chipping practice

[AMcC]

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

•weight forward
•hands forward
•hands at the bottom of the grip

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 ?

Either really. Whichever gets in the way of the swing. Probably the bag standing up

My friend wants to know if grandchildren will do, as his children keep moving?

Cheers Bob will give it a go.

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,

Shame

 

[Luulox]

Shame

Why? is it not yours?

 

[bobmac]

Yes it's mine but they get the profit.

 

[Luulox]

Very sorry Bob didn't know that, i guess i should have asked first m8 Have they copied yours?

 

[bobmac]

Never mind, you weren't to know. Hope it helps

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).
