Unlock Effortless Chipping: The Tempo & Soft Wrist Secret to Short Game Confidence (Stop Duffing Chips!)

Tired of those frustrating duffed chip shots that kill your score and your confidence around the green? Do you watch other golfers effortlessly pop the ball onto the green and wonder what their secret is?

Well, at The Art of Simple Golf, we believe in stripping away the complexity and focusing on what truly matters. And when it comes to chipping, the “untapped magic” lies in tempo and a soft wrist action.

Forget about manipulating the clubface or getting bogged down in technicalities. This easy chipping technique, perfect for everyone from beginners to senior golfers, will transform your short game by harnessing these two fundamental elements.

Why Tempo and Soft Wrists are Your Chipping Superpowers:

  • Consistent Contact: A smooth, consistent tempo naturally promotes better contact with the ball. No more jerky movements leading to thin shots or those dreaded chunks!
  • Effortless Distance Control: When your wrist stays soft and relaxed, your body can naturally control the length of your swing, leading to more precise distance control on your chips.
  • Increased Confidence: When you have a reliable technique that feels easy and natural, your confidence around the green will soar. Say goodbye to chipping anxiety!
  • Say Goodbye to the Duff: Duffing often happens when golfers get too handsy or try to force the shot. Focusing on tempo and a soft wrist encourages a smoother, more body-integrated motion, eliminating the main cause of those embarrassing misses.

The Simple Chipping Technique:

While we’ll be showcasing this in a video (stay tuned!), here’s a sneak peek at the core principles:

  1. Setup for Simplicity: Adopt a slightly narrower stance, with your weight favoring your lead foot. Keep your hands slightly ahead of the ball.
  2. The Power of Tempo: Think of your chipping stroke as a mini-swing. Focus on maintaining a smooth, rhythmic tempo throughout the motion. Imagine a pendulum swinging back and forth.
  3. Soft Wrists are Key: Keep your wrists soft and relaxed. Avoid any forceful hinging or scooping motions. Let your arms and shoulders control the swing, with your wrists acting as hinges.
  4. Trust the Technique: Focus on the tempo and the feeling of a soft wrist. Trust that this simple approach will deliver the results you’re looking for.
