1. OK so to chip successfully and accurately you need to obviously be able to control the distance of you shots, and just like many golf shots the distance of them is controlled by the speed of the club, but in chipping we're really trying to control a couple of factors. How long is the swing back, and through and at what pace or tempo are we going to do that. For example if I had a short stroke but a very quick tempo that might well send the ball a lot further than if I had the same length of stroke with a slower tempo. So the velocity of the club head will really affect the distance you're going to hit it. One big mistake that many amateurs make is that they'll get nervous on the shots, and will have a short back swing and then try and help it in the follow through.

We'll end up with this sort of stroke that looks quite jerking and sure and then a longer finish trying to elevate the ball or lift it it's actually more prudent to actually have a slightly longer back swing and then control the length of the finish. Almost like a hit and stop a bit like chipping a soccer ball if you popped your foot down it would jump up. It's the same here in golf that little pop here that crisp contact is definitely going to help you get more back spin on the ball and also a lot more control so don't try and help it with the length of you follow through. Gauging the length of your follow through really is important just like throwing a ball and there are how far your arms traveling and the speed it's traveling is definitely going to affect the distance. So I'd almost like you to think of is two thirds of the third something to do two thirds back thirds through two thirds back through you'll find. You'll get a much crisper contact with that theory rather than a short swing trying to lift it or elevate it so let's try one more. So two thirds then a third. I can really feel a nice contact and that's creating some lovely back spin on the ball.
