The Simple Pitch vs. The Simple Chip

[david_pack]

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 1/3 air and 2/3 roll
Pitching is 2/3 air and 1/3 roll

Chipping is 5-7-9 iron
Pitching is pw-gw-sw-lob

Chipping is with the arms one backswing
Pitching has three different backswins

Is the article on simple chip available on the purepointgolf website? I would like to read it. Thanks.

If you go to youtube.com and search my name they have about 30 tips of mine.

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?

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.
