Lynn,

When watching Brian this past week I noticed when he chips the clubhead and stroke come to a stop almost directly after impact. You can also see Brian doing this in the Practice Round Videos at last years PGA in The Gallery.

Is Brian going to follow through on these shots or is he stopping prior to follow through? What are the advantages to stopping the clubhead so early?

Congratulations again and I look forward to your response in the mean time I'm going to try hitting some of these chips to see what happens.

With the ball positioned well back -- depending on the lie, sometimes actually outside his right toe -- and with such a delicate stroke, the club simply cannot descend all the way to Low Point (opposite his Left Shoulder). There is too much 'Mother Earth' to move. So, the club stops (or bounces out of the ground), despite the fact that Brian's Hand Motion never quits.
