My Swing (GolfLug)

You set up with the ball off the toe, and hit it off the toe.

Not gonna lie, I am obsessed with these little nippers. They are pure fun when you get them right. Anyway, bit more off the toe.

Go back to basics.

You know, I have to agree with you. I've made it much harder in my head then it should be. Thanks for the nudge.

I promise this will be my last post on chips for a while. I promise y'all. I mean, until tomorrow..😂 

Even my daughter noticed couple of days that my chipping looked like I was having some kinda spazzy neurological misfires and said I need to buy one of them 'chipping putter thingy' or something and she's not much of a golfer. Ouch. Can't have that. Nope. 🤣

Even for a teenager, that is brutal. Ouch.

I’m not going to comment on your technique since I can’t hit a chip if I stuck my wedge into a freshly opened bag of Lay’s but you’re hitting these shots rather quickly for a practice session, aren’t you?

Fair question. Two things:

1) I noticed I had gotten loosey goosey, so I am practicing firmer wrists (specifically right wrist) through impact. It is a simple motion with minimal angulation/de-angulation of shaft/wrists etc.  

2) Hyperfocus on smaller motions like chips and putts are counterproductive. I believe, tension/yips are result of overthinking mechanics when standing over the ball. I am not rushing for sure as you have to fully settle down, but unlike full swing motions, I think it important to not give chipping mechanics any more time and respect than it deserves. I literally am practicing that. 

And can't hit a chip through a bag of Lays??? That is flipping hilarious.. 🤣

Your own kid telling you you need a chipper. Ouch  😆

This on-plane aid is set at a safe distance but is a great visual aid for loopy arm and club head path I am prone to. Elbow still too low at A4 but will continue working with the swing extender to map it better.
