Hi There,

You are correct in your assumption, if you could teach someone from chipping and then pitching they would get a better perspective of what is required in the full swing, especially at impact. It is also easier to achieve contact with the ball, thus gaining confidence.

The problem is no-one ever does because it's a macho thing, as soon as they see the long clubs it all goes wrong, more brawn than brains I'm afraid.

You could make a much better player from scratch to scratch with patients.
