A really simple golf chipping tip you’ll want to use to help improve the consistency of your chip shots is to keep your weigh toward your target.

On almost any shot you take in your short game you want to be sure to start with your weight forward and keep it there throughout the shot.

An easy way to get used to keeping your weight forward on your short chips is to move your back leg back behind you and lift your heel.

This will put all the weight on your front leg without you having to stand on one leg.

Practice hitting your short chip shots like this and you’ll get used to keeping your weight forward when you chip.
