THE HITTING CHIP

At address pre-select the amount of shaft lean for the given shot. For instance the higher the trajectory the less the lean, the lower the trajectory the more the lean.

So balance and ball position are set.

The right wrist should be bent and the left wrist flat at adjusted address. So you will begin from impact fix to minimize moving parts and to prevent you from needing or just using a float load.

From here the right elbow simply bends moving the lever assemblies away (back up and in) and then utilizing an arm throw (10-20-0) the right elbow pushes the lever assemblies down into impact. A true hitter's chip.

The right arm pitch is created again by controlling the lean of the shaft at address and opening the face. A pitch goes higher than a chip so less lean should be utilized at address. From here, for higher pitches around the green the face and the shaft must be manipulated to higher trajectory.
