( Tips from the Pros
Different Strokes
Although they seem similar,
putting and chipping strokes
are actually quite different.

T
he notion that chipping
and putting are similar
strokes has never made
sense to me. Personally, chipping
feels quite different from putting in
the set-up, impact and fi nish. Let's
compare these positions and explain
the differences-and why they
should be different.
s #HIPPING REQUIRES A MORE DESCEND
ing blow with a de-lofted clubface,
which is what makes these two strokes
different. With the ball back of center
and the shaft leaning slightly towards
the target, you can set yourself up for
this descending angle. Putter shafts
lie more vertical, with the ball positioned
slightly ahead of center.
s !T IMPACT THE SHAFT SHOULD RETURN
to its original de-lofted position to
insure good contact. The shaft needs
to return to vertical to impart the best
ROLL ! DELOFTED PUTTER FACE CAN MAKE
the ball bounce and roll off line.
s 4HE lNISH ALSO LOOKS AND FEELS DIF
ferent. In chipping, the weight stays
on the forward leg with the hands
ahead of the clubface. In putting,
the clubhead can swing past the
hands with the grip end pointing at
your center.
There are some characteristics common
to both swings, such as minimal
hand action, quiet body and a
still head. But don't think of chipping
as just putting with a lofted
club. Separating the two can make
you better at both.
