Short Game · Technique

Draw a chip so it releases down a slope

To make a chip check briefly and then release down a slope, aim slightly right, let the plane move a little inside, and allow the toe to turn over through the ball. The first two bounces can check before the ball runs out instead of stopping against the slope.

Try it

  1. aiming a tiny bit to the right
  2. the plane starts to come a little on the inside
  3. letting it wipe over this way through the ball

Why this context matters

The shot is intended to negotiate a green that runs down and right toward a back pin.
