SCOOPING
PROBLEM: Hitting behind the ball
or high on the ball when chipping.
This is caused by trying to get the ball in the
air by hitting up on it instead of down.
The upward motion results in the clubhead
passing the hands before impact.
This bottoms the club out before it reaches
the ball, resulting in either a fat or a thin shot.
To correct this problem, keep your hands
ahead of the clubhead at address and
through impact.

Don’t flip your right wrist.

| xxxxxxxxxxx Most of the time, scooping is caused by letting the xxxxxxxxxxx clubhead pass the hands coming into impact. To fix xxxxxxxxxxx this you need to keep a flat left wrist (right handed xxxxxxxxxxx golfer) through impact. Start with small shots trying to hit them low and work up from there.
