For those of you that use a different grip for putting than you use for full shots, which grip do you use for those little chips from just off the green, the regular grip, your putting grip, or something else?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

When I'm chipping and pitching, I use the same grip I use for full shots.......an interlocking grip.

.........but I may use a putting style stroke depending on the shot.  IE......if it's a fairway lie and I intend to hit a chip and run......the stroke is very similar to a putting stroke, but I don't use a putting grip.........a putting grip will work, but I don't use it.

Putting grip.  The stroke is pretty much the same as a putting stroke, so using a putting grip makes the most sense to me.

I don't even change my grip for putting.  I'm in the simpler is better camp. :smartass:

I am sorry I misread the question... I chip with my normal interlocking grip, I do change my grip pressure... Thumbs are still extended down the shaft...

I'm going to try and start chipping and pitching with the reverse overlap! It feels so comfortable and I have so much more control, or feel like it anyway.. I'll report back on results.

To me a chipping stroke is pretty much the same as a putting stroke. Both are an "arms only" type stroke for me. With that, I use the same grip on both strokes. Heck, I even use the same grip, and stroke on longer chip shots that some folks might call a short pitch shot. The loft I might use is determined by the shot at hand. The only change I do make when chipping is that I raise the heel of club up of the ground a little to avoid it hitting the ground. Yes this puts the toe down a little, which again I don't let touch the ground prior to striking the ball. Actually when raising the heel up, the pitching club will sit some what level, just like the putter does. Only when I have a distance, shot, and/or ball lie that requires me to break my wrists in the back swing, do I change my  to the Vardon grip.  Just a few thing less to worry about.  You can google "Paul Runyon Chipping" for a better idea.

Chipping is all based off of feel, and I prefer not to think of it as a putting stroke... When I chip or work with someone on chipping a teach them to let the bounce of the club to do its job, and to keep there left arm traveling towards there target...

I mix it up on chips depending on the shot. If I'm only a pace or two of the green I'll use a reverse overlap grip but use an interlocking grip just as often on chips. I find I play my chips equally well with either grip so I don't worry about it much

I been using interlocking with a LW for most of my short game shots around the green.

For those " little shots" just off the green, which I define as within 15 paces of the hole, I generally will go to my putting grip which is reverse overlap ,

If the lie is in deep rough around the green within 15 paces to the the hole, I will ten finger grip and still use a putting stroke but hit it off the toe.

In the middle of the summer seems like the grass grows lush around the greens now and need to learn to play those tricky shots with rought around the greens.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.

      Thank you, currently I only had the 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons in the bag. I was never finding myself in a situation to use the 4 and 5 so I dropped those a while ago. The 60W is what I've been practicing with the most in the back yard, but that's only with short chipping. I don't think I've ever practiced hitting my wedges at 80% - 100% apart from yesterday. Maybe I should be doing that more. Generally I would be using a 9 iron if I was out about 75 yards or so. I am not really sure I understand your mention of the 60W and 3H. Aren't these going to be giving me completely different results? Unfortunately I am not able to adjust the loft on the hybrids I have. I looked into the Shot Scope H4 you suggested and this seems really neat and handy, however I am struggling to understand how it works. Am I correct in assuming it doesn't track the ball distance until you hit the ball a second time? Say I drive from the tee and walk up to my ball, tag the next club and hit the ball. Is it at this point when I tag my next club while standing next to my ball that is knows the distance? Thank you, I am going to give the local shop a call and check their prices and see what they can offer.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Do you know what their handicaps are? The handicap system isn't perfect and given the higher variance from higher handicaps, I think low handicap players would be expected to win maybe 60% of their matches? I'm not exactly sure what that number is and it will vary with the handicap difference, but if they're generally very low handicaps, then they might be at 60% likely to win a game. Given it's 16 vs 16, that's a lot of games to win. If it's 60%, then that's around an 80% chance that they'll win a given match. At 80% chance of winning, 21 wins in a row is about 1 in 108 times. Pretty unlikely, but not unheard of. It's pretty sensitive to what that individual win percentage is too. If it's 65%, then 21 wins is about 1 in 9. If it's 55%, then 21 wins is 1 in about 5,700. Clearly it's not as simple as this because that win likelihood is going to change match to match as they play lower handicap teams or higher handicap teams, but I don't think it's a "yes they're cheating" thing at all.

      I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!
