Improve Your Chipping

The biggest problem I see with players who tend to chunk and skull chips shots is the tendency to hit these shots solely with the arms and hands.  As you will see in the following video clip, these shots are far more predictable when the body does most of the work.

Learn to use your practice swings to determine your intended finish position.  Leave your lower body turned through, i.e. feeling connected to that finish position in your set up. Then simply turn your chest away from and through to your intended finish to consistently hit your landing spot.  Note: with relaxed hands, simply allow the wrists to cock naturally in your backswing as you turn your chest back and through.  This motion will generate a steeper angle of attack, thus producing crisper shots with more backspin.
