Honestly, as long as you keep a smooth tempo, why would you want to mess with ball position? The bottom of your swing in a chip is in the same place that it is in a full swing, unless you psych yourself out and cast the club down in a chip.
Smooth, relaxed tempo, SLIGHTLY back or center ball position, and swing. |
I play it under my right armpit. Too far? I was taught to play it back because the back spin will help get it in the air more easily as you are hitting more down on it, and I think that works better. And it gives me a lower trajectory as well so the ball will roll right into the cup (I almost did that twice today)
