I usually do not choke down, I have found that since my hands are very close to my body when chipping many times the end of the club handle gets stuck in my pants and redirects my chips shots.

find what works for you with practice. In a previous forum the questions was ask if you use many clubs to chip and use the same stroke or only one club and vary the backstroke to judge distance.

Main goal is to make solid contact when chipping, distance control and direction.

I started playing with the face of the club when chipping, square, closed and open. I have found this is helpful when I need to stop the ball over a bunker or run the ball on longer approaches.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      Nothing exposes low point control, and for that matter the general quality of ball striking like tight lies. Lol! I am at a crossroad. My days of playing with a super strong left hand grip are coming to an end it seems. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain proper face control through impact as the club face naturally wants to turn over. The quality of strike and ball flight difference when I weaken the grip is stark. Problem is a weaker grip is at odds with my poor sore left forearm which I have been nursing for last few days after 3 days of demanding golf. As of now I will continue my 'transition' to a weaker grip with woods and hopefully my forearm will condition as I go along. Maybe someday I'll get to a normal address with irons too.
