Re: How-To "Backspin on chips"

The only 'more' I would offer is that, after playing a few rounds with my coach - this is how he warms up. He takes his 7 iron, and starts hitting these 80 yard shots with these tiny little swings until he's compressing the ball well. Then he starts hitting 115 yard 7 irons (swinging bigger while still compressing). Then 135, then 155, then he hits them at what feels to be a 3/4 swing. Then some drivers and some first tee clubs, some short pitches and chips and putts.

When I did this, I was carrying my 8i 140 yards before the drill. I found (and you will too) that it seemed that I was getting 90% of my normal carry yardage with what felt like a half swing - all due to good compression.

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.
