I am consistantly inconsistant when it comes to chipping,distance wise,the saying I remember is I think :the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing and the right hand will never tell:.....this old saying got me going a bit today...
I decided to have a concerted effort to establish some "proper" control of my chips,as a rule in the past,(others may be the same) I would be concentrating first up to hit the ball and worry about exactly where and why it ended up where it did distance wise later on "or blame the green or something" instead of being in total control and know whats going on in my chipping action.
With the explanation out of the road,I will get to crux of this post,, Today I begun "practicing" my chipping using one hand only,I mean put the unused hand behind my back and just hit 6 balls with L/hand....then ...r/hand.
Let me tell you,there was so many "shockers" until I really concentrated on WHAT the L/H ....HAD TO DO.....and what was required of the R/H in order to hit the chip properly and consistantly
I learnt more about the flail and frozen wedges than thought I could,lets not leave out alighnments.
I actually made a small contest out of it ,the one I thought would be hardest turned out to be easiest THE L/HAND won the day....After a lengthy session I discovered I was ACTUALLY to move around the green with different length chips(2 hands)and was so much more in control of the chips lengths..enough of my waffle now ,I just hope someone else enjoys success and learns a bit more what is involved in chipping,not just chipping to get on the green,but have MORE knowledge of how to gain control over your chipping.........CHEERS BM
