    Default The Simple Pitch vs. The Simple Chip

    I’ve read your article on the Simple Chip over and over again and it has helped me a lot.


    Is there a difference between a Pitch and a Chip with your method? What is it?

    Chipping is with the arms one backswing

    Was curious about one thing with chipping. There is no reference concerning the usage of the 6 or 8 iron for chipping. Any reason why?

    Thx

    I founded the 5-7-9 iron method of chipping years ago. This method is useful for all levels. You could be a scratch player and chip with the 5-7-9 irons.

    Once you have become confident and you want to fill the gap in then start using the 4-6-8 irons. Make sure you start with one club at a time.
