Chip Shot — Bump and Run

Close to the green with no obstacles between ball and hole. Best for tight/fringe lies.

Grip

Grip lower on the handle (choke down). Light but firm. Wrists stay quiet — no flip at impact.

Very narrow. Feet close together. Weight 60–70% on front foot from start.

Back of stance (near right foot for right-handers).

Stand slightly closer to the ball than a full shot. Hands ahead of the ball at address and at impact.

Pendulum motion — shoulders rock, arms swing, wrists stay firm. Think: 'push, don't flip.'

Ball first, then minimal turf. Ball launches low and runs to the hole.

Flipping wrists through impact to 'help' the ball up. The ball doesn't need help — trust the loft.

Set up in your living room. Practice 10 chips with no ball, focusing on keeping wrists firm and hands forward at the bottom.
