Golf Digest’s No. 1 Teacher Mark Blackburn shares a simple way to eliminate chunked chips and make solid contact every time.
The key is keeping the club’s arc wide through impact instead of digging into the ground. Blackburn teaches players to shift left, then move up and around through the shot — extending the body toward the target to create a consistent strike and spin.
Set up with the ball centered, let the club’s toe brush the turf, and maintain width through the swing. With this motion, you’ll find clean contact, crisp spin, and stop chunking chips for good.
