Swing Pastor Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Put an alignment rod in the butt of your wedge and hit chips. Amazing tool.

ChuckZ Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Have you considered seeing a PGA instructor a your local course. That is what I do when I have issues with my game. Less time to figure out the problem and they can change what you need to do on the spot. My only recommendation. Best investment. With respect. Actually saw mine this week regarding an issue I was having with my new fairway. Corrected it in less than five minutes. Hitting nice straight long bombs, now. Just saying. tdroma98 1 Quote Driver - TSi3 10.75* - Fujikura Speeder 661 TR Fairway - TSi2 14.25* - Fujikura Motore Speeder VC 6.1 Fairway - TSR1 17.0* - Fujikura Vista Pro 65S Hybrid - TSR1 19.0* - Fujikura Atmos Red Tour 75 Hybrid - TSR1 23.0* - Fujikura Atmos Red Tour 75 Irons - T350 (2023) - 5-48W - True Temper AMT Red 95g-107g Wedges - Vokey SM9 - 52.08F, 56.10S - True Temper AMT Red 94 ** GolfPride MCC +4 Midsize Grips (all woods/irons/wedges) Putter - 2023 Scotty Cameron Super Select Squareback 2 35" ** Superstroke 1.0 Pistol Grip Golf Ball - TITLEIST - Prov1 (2023) Golf Bags - TITLEIST - Cart 14 (black), Mid Size Tour (black/white) Golf Glove - FootJoy (StaSof), Shoes, Apparel and Outerwear Rangefinder - Bushnell Pro XE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beakbryce Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Take a hand towel and place it on the green where you want the chip to land.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I use an old chipper, grooveless bronze Don Martin Up-n-In. Practice practice practice on bad lies. Practice putting the ball on the collar or in front of a large clump (obstacle) and force yourself to hit down. Chipping with a regular length club is harder than chipping with a shorter shaft chipper.

korsmot Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I think a combination of listed above is great. You need to know the proper technique that you are trying to achieve or your specific problem that prevents proper technique. (wrists breaking down, weight staying back, not enough body rotation, too much body rotation etc ;)) Then you get the chipping aid that helps that problem. Example; A "chip stick" that help you stop breaking your wrists is pretty good. But you have to know your specific problem, so video or a lesson is great to figure that out.

H-Bomb Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Try Golf In Sync training aid. I have a pre-owned unit for sale if interested. It helped me get the correct feel for short game shots. See this video: Quote HW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godawgs Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I have the Orange Whip wedge and I didn't care for it. I also have the Orange Whip trainer and iron trainer and use them a lot. I use the trainer to warm up before each round including tournaments and league, I swear by those but the wedge used too much wrist action for me. I hope that helped some. Good luck and good golfing Brettyboy187 1 Quote Back in golf after a 25 year delay. Go Dawgs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdroma98 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I found Phil Mickelson's video - Chipping 101 - to be a great tool and offers great practice techniques. One thing that Phil advises & he is absolutely correct, never let the club head pass your hands when chipping. We amateurs like to flick our wrists when chipping. It's amazing the technique with being conscience of not having club head pass your hands is great and under any condition. Good luck!!

Godawgs Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I used James Sieckmann's Wedge Mastery and Fineness Wedge coarses on Performance Golf Scratch Club. It was good for me. Good Luck, it looks like you have a lot of good ideas. Brettyboy187 1 Quote Back in golf after a 25 year delay. Go Dawgs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lee Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 What's your main problem? or do you know your main problem? Are you chunking, thinning, just inconsistent all around? Maybe post a video and that would help us recommend training tools because it's not clear, at least from the post, exactly what in your chipping that you're looking to fix Quote Driver: Titleist TS3 3 Wood: Taylormade M3 5 Wood: Titleist 917 F2 3 Iron: Callaway X Forged Utility Iron 4i-Pw: Honma TW747v 49/54/60 Wedges: Titleist SM7 Putter: Odyssey Stroke Lab V-Line Ball: Bridgestone B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
