Those little green side chips.

Easy one for you, ball position front foot, middle or back foot?

For me. Slightly forward.

I've recently started to hit them with the toe slightly down rather than a flat sole. Made a world of difference to the consistency and quality of contact.

I also use my hybrid quite a bit.

I do a lot of 8/9 iron chip and runs but I've been fatting chips that needs any sort of height recently. If it's a longer shot that requires wrist hinge I'm fine, ball near the front of the stance, weight more on the front foot, but a cute little stab over a bunker I'm fecked lol

Nice one, I'll give it a try ?

Open stance, ball level with back foot, lean on front foot, and swing my wedge just like a putter (no wrist break). This promotes hitting down on ball, and no flipping of wrists. I know others have different techniques, but this was a game changer for me when I had a lesson with a pro years ago. Best lesson I ever had.

That technique made me one of the better chippers at the club, well that is what I'm told. I don't need to worry about contact on the ball, and my full attention is on feel and distance control, just like a putt. Pretty easy to get used to once you know how the ball will react off your club face (I always use P Wedge, as I know it will be the same every time, and it is just about how hard to hit ball).

I'm glad I have this shot in my locker, as my ball striking on normal shots is horrific. As long as I do not get into too much trouble in the trees / water, my typical round would be low / mid 70's (Par 70 course), with usually no more than 4 or 5 greens in regulation and 21-28ish putts. Really honing in on it just takes practice though, I'm not chipping it dead as often as I'd like since returning from lockdown.
