Hit a low draw chip to release up an upslope

On a chip into an upslope, the instructor warns that a higher shot would just dig into the slope and stall. Instead he plays a low, drawy chip so it spins a little then releases up the green. He sets up by shutting the stance slightly and closing the face - wrapping the toe over - with a 56-degree wedge.

Try it

  1. shut the stance a little bit, a little bit in
  2. wrap the toe over a little bit with the 56

Why this context matters

Chipping from below the green up an upslope, into the wind.
