The key here is to learn how far the club needs to travel in the back swing and through the forward swing to achieve the desired distance.

There are two areas in the golf swing which require feel or touch; chipping and putting. I’m going to talk about chipping. Chipping requires practice and I know that is a term so widely used that it is ambiguous in understanding. What do professionals mean when they say practice? It means you need to develop the feeling of touch; this comes from learning the technique of repeating the same motion over and over and getting the same results all the time. This method is taking the club back to a defined position and releasing the forward swing with the correct force to get the ball to land at the desired location. We can get into where and how to swing the club back and forth but that at this point is meaningless for you. By now you should know how to swing a club or you would not be interested in improving your short game. The key here is to learn how far the club needs to travel in the back swing and through the forward swing to achieve the desired distance. This is my tip for excellent chipping.
