Less Lower Body. Less Hands. More Torso Rotation.
One of the most common mistakes amateur golfers make when chipping is using too much lower body, hand, and wrist movement.
Excessive lower body movement makes it difficult to maintain a consistent contact point and can add unnecessary power to the shot, making distance control more challenging.
Too much hand and wrist action can create similar problems, leading to inconsistent contact and unpredictable results.
The key to more consistent chipping?
✅ Stable Lower Body – Minimize unnecessary movement to improve contact and distance control.
✅ Quiet Hands & Wrists – Reduce excessive wrist action for more predictable club delivery.
✅ Torso Rotation – Use controlled upper body rotation to move the club through impact.
MOBILITY MATTERS!
To rotate your torso effectively while keeping your lower body relatively stable, you need the ability to isolate and control upper body movement independently of your pelvis.
Improving your thoracic spine mobility, rotation, and body awareness can help you develop better short game technique.
Better Movement → Better Contact → Better Distance Control → Lower Scores.
