Have you ever been told you are too handsy when chipping?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe you are flipping the club through impact?<\/strong> Have you been hitting your chips fat and thin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Fixing an inconsistent chipping stroke is really quite simple and today we’re going to cover how to fix your chips once and for all.<\/p>\n

In the last couple of chipping videos we learned how having the proper chipping setup<\/a> and proper chipping technique<\/a> can help you shave strokes off your game from around the green.<\/p>\n

Now you can learn how using a device that you most likely already have can make these moves seem simpler than ever.<\/p>\n

The RotaryConnect!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I see people every day give up strokes by using an improper chipping motion. The RotaryConnect<\/a> will help you to use your arms and body as a unit and get rid of your flip forever.<\/p>\n

The mistakes typically made in a chipping backswing and full shot backswing are very similar. The most common mistake is to bend the right arm too early and over hinge the right wrist. This brings the club back too far to the inside and can lead to a lot of inconsistency and poor contact.<\/p>\n

With the RotaryConnect, you can cure this by keeping some pressure on the inside of the cuff during the backswing.  This forces you to get a better shoulder turn and less arm action, resulting in a much more consistent stroke.<\/p>\n

Check out the image below of me using the RotaryConnect and how it teaches me to keep my arms straight and relaxed while forcing me to make a quieter chipping stroke:<\/p>\n

\"proper<\/p>\n

You can see just how much simpler my chipping stroke looks when my arms aren’t folding at the elbows as the RotaryConnect forces me to rotate my shoulders rather than just swing my arms across my body.<\/p>\n

The RotaryConnect has a bar connecting the two cuffs and by moving that bar close to my chest like I talk about in this chipping video<\/a>, my stroke has been reduced to the absolute least moving parts possible – and that’s the key to consistency.<\/p>\n

What About Flipping?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about flipping? Well, when you flip your wrists or break down your arms (\u201cchicken wing\u201d) after impact, it means you’re pushing from the right side.<\/a><\/p>\n

With the RotaryConnect securely fastened to your arms, the chicken wing will feel very unnatural. By keeping some pressure on the cuff with your left arm in the follow through and not pushing so hard from the right, you will eliminate your chicken wing forever.<\/p>\n
