Okay so the way the ball is sitting is going to determine the type of stroke you're going to make when you chipping. I've got a couple of scenarios here where the ball such nicely we can see one and the other one is sat down or it may even be deep in the rough. Well that's going to mean is I've got to play a different type of stroke in a different angle of attack to get the best results with the shots, and really are really like you to think of it as two scenarios a real simple way of remembering it is you either going to brush it or crush it. If the ball sat nicely you're able to make a brushing stroke you don't need too much distance on that shot to elevate it to loft of the club is going to do that for you. You may even use a straighter face club you're pitching wedge a nine iron or what have you. So when the ball sat nicely you can see the back of the ball and that case you can just make a nice brushing stroke picture the stroke like a dinner plate the base of the arc is going to be quite level quite parallel to the floor that's going to elevate the ball nicely.
Now of course it's a different scenario if the ball is in the rough or you couldn't see the ball or see the top of the ball. That's when you need to crush it so your angle of attack now is going to be a lot steeper think of this more bowl shaped of the shaped you need that club to descend on the golf ball to drive the leading edge underneath it that's going to create some friction and pop that ball up. In that case as well we're going to let the ball go back a little further in the stance I'm going to encourage you to break your wrist a little earlier and in that case you can jump down on it. So it's in the rough that's squeezing trapping crushing strolled down will pop it up so remember it is sat nicely you're going to brush it nice level stroke and if it's sat badly you're going to crush it that's going to pop it up and make the ball react. Use a club with a bit more loft when you squeezing it use a club with a slightly straight face when you're brushing it. If you try both those scenarios I think you'll find that you're going to elevate that ball and get a lot more accuracy and control with your chip shot.
