6 AMAZING Chipping Tips From Legend Lee Trevino
how to use various clubs from different distances using the same swing and letting the loft of the club do the work for you. I have a sand wedge here I'm about 40 ft away from the green I've got about 18 ft of green to work with using a putting stroke letting the loft of the club do all the work for you now we'll move up about five or six feet and we'll use a nine iron again using the same swing now your putting stroke Let The Loft do all the work for you then we'll move up about 20 ft away from the green and we'll go to an ad IR reason we want to go to an Adine is because it has less Loft the ball will come out lower and run H then as you get a little closer you can go down to the six iron again the ball will come out lower and run a little more one of my favorites is when I get around the green 3 or 4 feet away I like to use a very low lofted Club a 4 iron just using the little putting stroke it'll clear The Fringe and run to the hole here we go same swing with five different clubs are you guilty of doing that moving that head way before the club ever gets to the ball well we're all guilty of it sometimes well I'll tell you what you have to do if you keep missing these greens and you're having a difficult time getting the ball up and down you could be looking up on this ball let me see if I can help you with this first of all what you have to pick is the right club for that particular shot pick out a spot on that green very important that land the ball on that spot when you approach the ball and you're looking up to check for distance the last thing that you look at before the head comes back is that spot now what's very important is to keep your head down never look up and listen for the ball to land on the green it's not very difficult there only two things that you have to do keep that head down and aim at that spot I hate this shot I don't even want to show it to you flown the green I've got a very severe slope here chipping onto a very very hard green are you having a little problem with this shot Landing it too far short well chances are that you're using your old stroke hands in front of the club taking Loft off the club and balls hitting on the green and running too far what you have to do here when you approach the ball open up the blade and break your hands immediately away from the ball as you're coming back down into the stroke stop the left hand at the ball almost like there is a wall there this enables your right hand to break underneath and it adds Loft to the club let me demonstrate for you not bad for a guy that hates this shot oh you have to do is break stop the left hand you're going to get that ball a lot closer in the future and we got ourselves a tough one right here we've got us a downhill eye we've got a bunker to negotiate with here we've got a close- cut flag and we got us a little bass Pond over there well it's not that difficult of a shot you're dumping this ball in this bunker chances are that you're breaking a little too much when you're going to execute this shot you're hitting behind it you're dumping Into the Bunker there is an easy way to play shot and it's very simple open up the club face play the ball in the middle of your stance but the most important part is to keep the butt of the club and the forearm in a straight line all the way through the shot I broke a little bit on the way back but I held on through the swing and then you walk up on lies like this this is when I wished I was 6'5 it's not that difficult of a shot what I do is I take an eight iron I open up the blade wide open the reason is because I don't want the grass to catch on the heel and bring it over I make sure that I keep the butt of the club and the forearm again in one line I aim a little to the right of Target get in ball get in both shots are played approximately the same way don't be afraid of it you can do it of the things that bothers me probably more than anything is when I see an average player walk into a bunker with a 79 in his hand now there's nothing wrong with having a 79 in your hand but you have to have perfect conditions for a 79 one the bunker has to be very smooth and the ball setting on top of it two you have to have a very low lip on the bunker three you have to have a lot of green to work with now you're probably sitting in your living room and you're looking at o and saying hey that's what I use as a 79 but I don't have any Success With It problem probably is that you're using too much hand action and you're either hitting the ball fat or you're blading it into the lip now the correct way to do this is to actually use your not only your putting grip but also get closer to the ball and use your putting stroke now remember the most important thing in this swing is that your body is perfectly still [Music] and the great thing about it is you don't have to go to a bunker to practice it you can do it right in your living room
