Learning to chip with a wedge.
When using a pitching or a sand wedge:
- Make sure that you have a good grip on the club.
- Set up so that the ball is in between your feet. If on a slope the ball should be toward the back of your stance.
- Bend your knees slightly and keep your back straight.
- Extend the club back so that the club moves over your dominant arm. Meanwhile, keep your less-dominant arm straight.
- Move the club high enough to get the force to move the ball the appropriate distance (this will take time and practice, you'll have to get a feel for how high you need to raise the club in different situations.
- Keep your head down while swinging the club.
- Follow the same path back down to the ball, pivoting your dominant foot onto its toe.
