The Simple Pitch vs. The Simple Chip

david_pack · 10-23-2007, 06:11 PM

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

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.
