Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about using a couple of different clubs to chip and why that's so important. Here I have a 54 degree sand wedge and you can see when I set up in my chipping motion and I make my chipping motion. You can see this ball doesn't want to go very far and by using the same club the same stroke you can see that I have kind of an idea how far it's going to go so now if I change clubs and I grab a 7.

I do the same thing and I use my putting stroke type of motion. You can do that ball will go a lot further across the green with less effort and usually if you use the same type of stroke speed every time you'll find it your 7 will go a certain distance your lob wedge will go a certain distance your 2 iron will go a certain distance you're 9 so on and so forth. In that way you come up to the shot and you go that's a wedge that's a 9 that's a 7 you can to get that feeling. So remember when you're chipping use multiple clubs with you to see stroke speed let the club do all the work and you'll be a lot more consistent with how far your distances come and go.
