A chip shot is one from just off the green, where you need to fly the ball over an obstacle such as:\u003cbr\u003eSome fairway\u003cbr\u003eA bunker\u003cbr\u003eA hump or hollow\u003cbr\u003eA tier on a green\u003cbr\u003eA water hazard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will learn the Seven vital steps that you must repeat for you to hit great chip shots time after time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are four different techniques that this book covers which are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard Chip - a standard chip is a shot\u003cbr\u003ethat has the designated amount of energy the club’s loft dictates.\u003cbr\u003eWe are aiming to strike the ball with the true loft of the club without changing the amount of energy that each club produces to alter the shot. In other words, we are not going to de-loft or open the face at set-up or impact for this chip. The ball will not fly very high nor will it come out low and fast. This chip has a standard flight and roll which is dictated by the club’s loft alone. A 7-iron will fly lower and run longer than a pitching wedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning\/High Energy Chip - This chip or technique is designed to give the ball a lot more energy than the loft of the club would impart on its own. Using a pitching wedge for this technique will ensure the ball will run as much as it would do if you used a 7-iron and employed the technique for a standard chip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft Landing Chip -\u003cbr\u003eIt has a soft flight\u003cbr\u003eLands softly on the green\u003cbr\u003eHas a gentle low energy release towards the hole\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you have been told to make a putting stroke for your chip, this is the shot you are executing. This shot would normally be used when you have a very fast downhill chip and you need to carry the fringe or you have very little green between the edge of the green and the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLob Shot - I would like to see this shot renamed the ‘stop quickly shot’ or ‘very low energy shot’ as, rather than thinking you need to lob it up high, this is what you need it to do.Because it is called the lob shot, most golfers try to get the ball up high, which then makes the chance of failure much greater. You would normally play this shot when you are behind an obstacle, such as a bunker or a mound, and the pin is close to the edge of the green leaving you very little space in which to land the ball and stop it near the hole. A lob shot requires very low energy once landed on a green. The best way to create very low energy is to play the shot with as much loft as possible on the club. As a result, it’s odds on the ball will go up high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout landing the ball in the correct place on the green the above four techniques will not help. This book will teach you how to select a good landing zone and how to practice hitting your zone. Picking one and landing it there is two very different things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stuart Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072492093680,"sku":"2940046404814","price":5.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046404814_p0.jpg?v=1763693196","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046404814","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
