A bump and run chipping technique is probably one of the most simple techniques you’ll ever see out on the golf course. A golfer very rarely does anything more than just that and that little technique there should bump the ball nicely and then run it down towards the hole and it look very akin to putting stroke. There’s not a great deal more involved in a bump and run than there is in a putting stroke and actually for a lot of golfers they might even consider using the putting grip and the putting stoke to hit that bump and run shot. So some golfers’ use their regular golf grip be it the interlinking or the overlapping type of grip but because we don’t really want the hand action that we would get in a normal chip or a pitch shot we can actually change to a putting grip.

So for golfers who have less wrist hinge in their putting stroke they might change it so one finger down, two fingers down something of that nature, that provides a more solid, more stable, less risky less handsy putting stroke. So golfers might actually feel more comfortable with using that for their bump and run shots. So if you are struggle with your bump and run technique and you tend to find you are a bot handsy in hitting it consider changing the one finger down, two fingers down changing to your putting stroke and then find that your hands are doing less work. Now I actually putt with my left hand below my right so I putt in this position, so it’d be leap of faith but you know you could chip the ball and certainly bump and run the ball like that, you might get a few questions on the golf course, a few people might sort of question why you’re doing it, what you’re doing it for? But if you feel that you’re really handsy in your normal chipping action, bump and run action crossing your hands over left below right and bumping it forwards like that, hey, this game’s all about results. It’s all about what works for you so don’t let anybody tell you it’s hard and its fast and it has to be like this or it has to be like this. You can experiment a little bit, you might stand to the side of the chipping green try 20 with your normal action, then try 20 with your putting grip, then try 20 with your left below right putting grip and see which one gives you the most consistent result. Because at the end of the day the hands and arms are actually doing very little in this bump and run chip shot action. So if you can later your grip to make sure your hands and arms are doing even less then that could give you positive results when you’re changing your grip for bump and run chip shots.
