Stop Hitting the Ball Fat While Chipping

by Rick on September 19, 2008

Do you continue to hit behind the ball, also know as hitting it fat, while chipping?  In other words, do you hit the golf ball and it barely goes towards the green?

Bobby Eldridge over at PurePointGolf.com explains that the correct path that your chip shot’s supposed to travel on is just slightly, ever so slightly on the inside.

If you are hitting it the golf ball fat, then this golf tip on chipping is for you.  Your problem is typically due to your swing going too much outside, which makes the club go too vertical.

And the correction is you feel like you’re going to swing the club a little bit more inside, and then this will give you proper impact.  But this is not so.

You need to make sure you round out your backswing.  To do this you need to make sure that you let the golf club travel a little bit to the inside, a little bit, not much.

Try that golf tip on chipping the next time out around the practice green or even in your back yard.

I wanted to let you know that I purchased the Short Game DVD that you link to PurePointGolf.com took me and I love the DVD. In just a few days of watching the video and practicing at the range has made a huge difference in my short game.

Thanks!
