HOW TO HIT HIGH AND LOW CHIP SHOTS
There won’t be many positions you can’t get up-and-down from around the greens if you can play a high or low chip shot. You can do the
simplest version of both from the same set-up position with the feet quite close together, heels square to the target and ball just ahead of centre.
The only difference is where the hands and clubhead are in relation to each other at impact, as shown by the red box and green box respectively.
LOW SHOT HIGH SHOT
The hands should be ahead of the ball in the red box as the
clubhead passes through the green box and makes contact with the
ball. The clubhead should stay behind the hands in the follow-
through. This maintains the forward shaft lean that de-lofts the
clubhead and launches the ball lower with less backspin. The hands should be just behind or level with the ball in the red box as
the clubhead passes through the green box and makes contact with
the ball. The clubhead should continue to overtake the hands in the
follow-through. This leans the shaft back slightly to maintain the true loft
to launch the ball higher with more backspin.
