Description: A chip shot is played where you are lying so close to green that you can neither lift the ball nor you can go with a putter. Try out these tips and see good results yourself!
Many people confuse the term chipping with pitching, but in fact, they are two different shots. A chip shot is played where you are lying so close to green that you can neither lift the ball nor you can go with a putter. So a chip is a "type of" putt with an iron.
For chipping, you require to choose the club very carefully. The most important thing is to pick up a point where you want your first bounce of the ball. Depending on the type of green and slope, apply enough power to get the ball to the point you marked in your mind. That's all what good chipping is all about.
One very important thing about chipping is that do not limit yourself to just one club for chipping. Vary your clubs as required in different circumstances. Most of the golfers like to use 7- or 8-iron for this purpose but this just limits their choices as far as playing a chip shot is concerned. Try out 5-iron and you will see very good results as well.
