does anyone have a view on the best tempo around the greens for chipping / short pitches. i've found that when i've hit a poor chip / short pitch it usually feels like i've been too quick, quick backswing, panic, quicker through swing, all over too soon and poor result. a few months ago i got a good lesson on wedge play (when to use bounce and when to use leading edge etc) and have been hitting almost all shots with one wedge (51 degree) since, varying how open / much bounce is used to suit the shot. anyway where i'm going with this is that i feel that i'm making a nice free swing but definately feels like i'm decelerating into the ball for some shots. this is working very well and feels great. still making solid contact and can 'feel' the ball on the clubface maybe a little longer ? most instruction i've seen is based on accelerate through the ball .... just wondering if anyone else has experimented with this thanks

i think you need to try different options to find a good fit. i used several hybrids and found them (probably through poor technique) to hook a bit .. or to travel too high recently changed to mizuno mp hybrids that are a little open, and centre of gravity a little higher and they are great. currently play a 17 degree and 20 degree, then 4 iron. dont carry any fairway woods at the moment, 17 degree is proving to be long enough

hi guys, poor quality video but would appreciate some feedback . thanks
