P.S.- Today I re- watched the sections on chipping on Ben Doyle's tape and Chuck Evans' DVD. What a difference in approach! Ben clearly uses a normal ball position and a body pivot when demonstrating chipping. Chuck advocates ball position at the rear foot and no pivot. Choices! I eagerly await Yoda's video (and Brian Manzella's "Confessions of a Former Flipper", which hopefully will arrive tomorrow).

It would seem to me that if the ball was played off the back foot one would could hit a "low runner" quite easily but would have difficulty hitting a high soft shot.

I'd say a true beginner may have an easier time making solid contact with the ball back but in the long run to become efficient with all sorts of shots the ball must be moved forward at some point.

Would be interesting to hear everbodies comments on the different ball locations (for chipping).


Thanks in advance
