Running Low

Problem

You have a hard time keeping the ball low while hitting a chip and run.

Cure

The key to this swing is to hit it more like a putting stroke or almost sweeping motion to help keep it low.

Therapy

To help avoid hitting down on the ball with too steep of a swing, setup with your trailing shoulder just a little lower than usual. Swing with just your trailing arm as you practice the shot. Instead of letting your forward arm to just hand there as you practice, let your forward hand to hold the upper portion of your trailing arm. This will also help you keep the ball rolling low.
