Chipping Setup Tips by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

Poor chipping setup leads to a lot of inconsistencies in your strike and your distance control. So let's get the chipping setup done perfectly. First of all, and it's going to help you hit better chip shots. So quick, easy way of doing it think about a really narrow stance, maybe on your couple of inches wider than the length of the blade of your wedge. If you keep the ball more central, it's easy then to feel leaning onto your lead side from here, you're going to make your angle of attack a little bit more downward, and that's going to help you with your strike.

From that point there, you want to keep the feeling that the center of your hips and sternum on top of each other, and they feel a fraction left side for me as a right handed golfer of the ball. My hands at a fraction forward of the golf ball at address, and I'm ready now to be able to make a movement, which is going to give me a nice downward angle of attack and a lovely contact. So play in that shot down towards the flag here I could go through the setup, narrow stance, leaning to the left sternum a little bit more targeted.
