Restricted Chipper

Problem

You are having a hard time taking an easy swing while chipping the ball.

Cure

Take a shorter backswing instead of trying to control the speed your swing. An easy way to make a chip is to simply imagine that you are taking a slightly steeper and longer putt.

Therapy

Set the ball back in your stance so that it is set just before the bottom of your swing. Take note of how high you normally bring the club back during your backswing and do not plan on taking it back as far. Just remember to hit down on the ball and to make a long follow through so you can keep a good acceleration onto the ball.
