Short Game Bible

It's been several weeks since I last posted a message to a forum. I went through a period of very inconsistent ball striking, which became so bad, that I thought about quitting the game. Now, thanks to help from a local pro, this has improved a lot.

I recently purchased a copy of Dave Pelz's "Short Game Bible". The technique which he teaches for pitching is something which I am trying to learn. The encouraging results, so far, have motivated me to put extra practise into this part of my game.

Unfotunately, I find his chipping technique (ball played off the outside of the rear ankle, using big muscles to control) very alien. Every club is delofted using this method. In effect a PW becomes an 8 iron.

Do any members use this technique, or have any comments for or against?

This is the absolute correct way. It prevents chille-dips!

Greg,

Thanks for your help. I guess I'll just have to persevere with this and allow for the extra roll when the ball hits the green.
