Chipping - #3 Accumulator

[jim_0068]

i think it works pretty well but not as an "all the time" procedure.

I have used a variation of this (chipping with a putting setup) - shaft more vertical than lie (club resting on toe). Ball comes off softly with much less backspin allowing one to make a longer / firmer stroke without the ball jumping off the clubface. The hard part is knowing when to change the method back to basic stroke.

As a matter of interest,have u ever used a chipping stroke on putter ,I use it if there are longish mounds just in front of greens.Deadly accurate and u dont need to hit it hard

IYO, when would not be a good time Jim?

Very short chip shots were it makes more sense to chip it with zero'd out #3, open face, and firm stroke instead of trying to keep the #3 and play some kind of cut/lob/flop type shot.

Also works well out of heavy rough.
