| Chip
Everything I read says you have to hit down on the ball. However, when I am just off of the green and the ball is resting quietly on the grass almost as though there is a cushion of air under it I find I can get the club under the ball and bounce it gently on to the green. If I were hitting down on the ball I dont have as much control for these very shot chips.
Last week the ball was resting off the green on a very steep embankment I had to chip down to a green that sloped away from me. I thought, on that embankment I cannot get a proper stance So I angled my club under the ball and with my body way out of position I hit the ball very gently I thought I chickened out and it was too gentle the ball rolled about 30 feet down hill and into the cup
.
Hitting under the ball like this is it totally wrong and do you always have to hit down on it
