Golf Chipping Lessons-Ball Position

Let’s talk in more detail about Part Four-The golf ball is in the Center of your Stance at address. As you walk up to the golf ball and ground the clubhead now is the time to make sure the golf ball is centered in your stance. The golf ball is equal distance between both of your feet.(#1)

The clubhead has to find the bottom of the arc in the downswing. If the golf ball is too far forward in your stance you will risk a shallow swing which will cause you to hit up on the golf ball.(#2)
If the ball is too far back in your stance your swing would have to be too vertical and you could not get the golf ball in the air.(#3)
It does not matter what the lie is, the ball is still centered in your stance. If you have a bare lie, thick rough lie or even an uneven lie, the ball position stays the same, in the middle of your stance. Addressing the golf ball in the middle of your stance will allow the clubhead to find the bottom of the golf ball.(#4)

If you address the golf ball too far forward in your stance, you will have a tendency to pull your chip shots; the clubface will be aiming left at impact. If you address the golf ball too far back in your stance, you will have a tendency to push your chip shots; the clubface will be aiming right at impact.

What you are trying to do is find the bottom of the arc. The leading edge of the clubhead has to swing DOWN into the ground in the downswing. By placing the golf ball in the center of your stance, this will provide you the best opportunity to do this.(#5)

Golf Chipping Lessons-Ball Position… the main goal in setting up properly is to not hit a fat chip. We know that`s a score killer and makes you feel stupid. I hope this helps.

My personal favorite is the Bridgestone E5. You can buy the E5 for about $25 per dozen. The E5 has the same playability cover, urethane, as the ProV1. Plus, it helps with launch for the moderate swing speeds. In summary, the E5 won`t break your bank, it will stop on the green for full shots or chips and the average golfer will be helped with getting the ball airborne. I hope the golf ball review 2012 helped!

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips… learn how to avoid the dreaded “chili dip”.

David explains how the pitch shot should be the same as the full swing. You must accelerate all the way through the pitch shot. Here is an excerpt from David`s advice.

First, if you are not familiar with David, here`s a Wikipedia introduction

David Leadbetter (born 27 June 1952) is a leading golf instructor, originally from Worthing in England. He began his career on the European and Southern African tours, but had little success as a player. Having an interest in the techniques, mechanics and psychology of the sport he soon moved into instruction and came to wide notice in the 1980s when he rebuilt the swing of Nick Faldo, who then went on to win six major championships.

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips

Whether it’s a short chip or a long drive, you have to accelerate the clubhead through impact on all golf shots. It’s an essential fundamental. Unfortunately, many amateurs fail to do this with their pitch shots, resulting in too much movement of the arms and upper body as they try to scoop the ball into the air (above, left). The pitching motion, even for a short pitch, should be fairly concise, though you accelerate through the strike. A good feeling from a fairly narrow stance is to put the breaks on with the body and arms just past impact. That snaps the clubhead through the hitting area like you’re whipping a towel. So, shorten up your follow-through but keep the clubhead accelerating past impact (above, bottom). Your pitches will improve dramatically.

David Leadbetter Pitching Tips… pretty simple abvice… makes sense. He taught two of the best ever in Greg Norman and Nick Faldo. It`s always good to go back to the basics and take in a good reminder!
