When chipping with a sand wedge, it’s essential to understand and utilize the club’s bounce effectively. The club’s low point isn’t at the leading edge but on the bounce.
Your goal is to land the back of the club on the ground before the front, similar to how a plane’s rear wheels touch down first during landing. This allows the club to glide through the turf and pop the ball into the air. With a wedge already lofted at 50-60°, there’s no need to help the ball up—trust the bounce to do the work.
