As for chipping, yes, hitting down gives you a much more predictable result, time and time again. Trying to scoop or slide is just asking for death. By death, I mean a bladed shot. |
I hit a flop by opening the face of the wedge, hitting a downward blow left of target with a high follow through and no hand action, just like a green side bunker, except the ball is centre of stance with the flop and forward in the sand.
Yes, I use a putter where I can but I said "Close to the green" depending on distance, the cut, how wet the ground, the lie, etc, a chip is often the better shot.
