Hit chips with different clubs and try to land the ball on the towel. Notice how a 9-iron, pitching wedge, and sand wedge roll out differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Drill two: one club, three flights\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Use the same wedge to hit a low chip, a standard chip, and a softer higher chip. Change ball position and face angle slightly, but keep the rhythm calm. This teaches options without turning the motion into guesswork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Drill three: up-and-down ladder\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Drop three balls in easy, medium, and awkward lies. Chip each one, then putt out. Count your score. The drill becomes honest because a poor chip leaves a real putt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Putting it in focus\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>For chipping, the best feedback is often the difference between a crisp brush and a hurried stab. FocusGolf can record a short-game session from Garmin, Wear OS, or Apple Watch, using automatic swing detection and no club sensors to keep practice flowing. Later, video paired with motion data and session history can help you find the tempo and transition that produced your cleanest chips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Quick recap\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Chipping drills should train landing spot, club selection, and scoring. Practice with targets, then finish the hole so you learn what “good enough” really means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",217,{"slug":15,"title":16},"common-chipping-mistakes-and-simple-fixes","Common Chipping Mistakes and Simple Fixes",{"slug":18,"title":19},"how-chipping-affects-ball-flight-and-scoring","How Chipping Affects Ball Flight and Scoring",1782812354302]
