The Most Effective Method To Stop Thinning Your Chip Shots
Thinning chip shots can really disappoint you. There is so much that you need to figure out so that you can stop making these simple yet costly errors. In most cases, you first of all need to understand the main reason why you are thinning your shots. By understanding the reason behind your thinned shots, it becomes easier for you to figure out what needs to be done to remedy the situation.
In most cases, players tend to forget simple instructions such as the position of the ball, their stance, the downswing and the backswing. These are some of the important things that will determine whether you get a good game or not.
If you fail to consider either of these alternatives, there is a good chance that you will basically struggle to enjoy a good game. Thinning shots will become something you do so often. To prevent this, we will look into some simple tips that will help you overcome these challenges once and for all. Try some of these tips and you should be good to go:
- Positioning
- Your stance
Positioning
Your position relative to the ball is one of the most important things that will determine whether you make a good shot or not. Look at the position of the ball and where you are standing. If you are standing too far from the ball, you will end up with an acute angle for your shot. As a result you will certainly thin the shot.
Therefore the first thing you need to do is to work on your angle. Remember that if you are too close to the ball, you will also end up with a sharper angle, hence leading to a fat shot. Try and work on this to make sure that you are standing just far enough from the ball.
Your stance
Your posture and stance almost go hand in hand for this task. Do not squeeze your body so much or straighten your back a lot on the downswing. This is one of the easiest ways of making a thin shot. Incredibly, it is very easy to make some of these common errors. At times players make these errors so often that you end up assuming it is okay. This kind of complacency needs to stop.
The most important thing however is for you to keep practicing. Do not give up even when you are not getting it right. It might take you a while, but in the long run you will get it right.
