Block Out the Flag

You do not know how long the length of your swing should be when using wedges.

Curling Under

The ball flies unpredictably or bounces too much on the green while chipping because the trailing hand turns over the leading hand too quickly.

Rubber Band Chip

You flick your wrists while chipping which causes you to lose loft and the ball flies further than desired.

One Handed Chip

You have difficulty chipping and the ball flies left or right of the target.

Sand Weight Shift

You have difficulty swinging in the sand due to a poor weight distribution.

Wedge Catch

You lose power when pitching due to excessive hinging of the wrists. This causes your swinging arc to become too narrow.

Flop Chip

You are usually unsuccessful at chipping due to excessive wrist movements.

Short Pitch and Run

You are not comfortable pitching the ball onto a green with a low fringe from about 40 yards away.

Firm Wrists

You top the ball, hit it thin or fat when chipping due to an excessive wrist action. You might even notice the back of your forward hand collapse during impact.

Contact with the Sand

You normally make a good swing in the sand but you noticed on a new course that the flange does not move into the sand at the correct point, resulting in a flubbed sand shot.
