Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher

Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about the impact alignments and impact quality on chipping. You know a lot of people when they set up you can set up correctly and they're all in the right place and all the sudden they hit their chip shot and they kind of breakdown something goes wrong and they get kind of the chipiping yips. A lot of times just giving somebody a simple thought of what it should look like post impact helps people understand how to achieve these goals.

So what you set up correctly with the ball back and here is the way forward we've only basically 2 ways you can foul this up. Number one you can back off and then move your low point backwards or number 2 you can use too much good action and break down this lowercase Y here right here. So if you set up correctly keep your head forward and keep this right wrist bent. All of a sudden now we're going to get much more solid impact alignments and we're going to hit the ball more consistently we'll have a chance to get up more often take a look and try.
