It sounds like you're trying to hit the low checker - a 'one hop and stop' kind of chip.

There's two ways to do this, and your distance to the pin dictates which one to use.

Method one involves a clean lie and a real trapping of the ball to compress it well and produce tons of spin. A well compressed ball doesn't need a ton of swing speed to spin.

Method two involves fast hands. You hit a 'flip chip' where you slide the blade under the ball, producing a slightly higher trajectory and lots of spin. The best place to practice this is on the green (where you wouldn't dare hit down and try to compress the ball!)

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
