Ball back delofts the club, so take more loft

Playing the ball well back in your stance delofts the club: a 9-iron effectively becomes a 7, and a 7 becomes a 5 that comes off like a rocket. On a chip where you want to control run, account for this by choosing a more lofted club than you otherwise would.
