All About Golf Tips: the 7 Iron Chip

By Will Allen

The All About Golf Tips 7 Iron Chip which is THE BEST WAY for the majority of amateur golfers to get the ball close to the hole, is also sometimes referred to as the “chip and run.” The simplicity of this 7 Iron shot is the reason for it’s great effectiveness. Breaking the shot down to it’s basic, simple swing allows up to drastically lower the margin of error one would make using the classic chip shot. Here is the All About Golf Tips Strategy for hitting this simple shot: When the ball is in a position just off the green surface, get into a setup position exactly the same as you would during a full swing shot. Then choke down about two or three inches on the club. Move slightly closer to the ball to accommodate the choke. Make a stoke similar to a putting stroke only slightly harder. All About Golf Tips recommends that when you initally start using this shot you spend some time practicing it. All great golfers know that repetition is key to excellence. Also, All About Golf Tips knows that it takes practice to familiarize yourself with the distance control needed with different sized swings. Because the seven iron has much more loft than the putter it will be necessary to make a putting stroke. This putting stroke will be for a putt of the same length but only slightly larger than one used with a putter. This is a direct result of the energy of the stroke being used to hit the ball up (due to the loft) rather than 100% of the energy directed to forward movement as is the case with a putt on the greens surface. All About Golf Tips.com recommends that you only use this shot when the carry distance (or the distance it needs to travel in the air) is short enough to land the ball on the green (or the fringe). All About Golf Tips.com also wants you to remember when considering this shot that the ball will roll according to the flow of the green.

Does one use the same golf swing all the time except for putting?

I have just started hitting balls at a golf simulator. So far I am just on the driving range and do a full swing. Does the swing change when one plays golf on a real course as one gets nearer the green? What I mean is do you hit it with a less full swing or does changing the clubs take care of the differences in distances?

To be completely honeswt with you, your swing should be the same no matter what club you have. The only time your swing changes is with chipping, pitching, putting, and bunker shots. Your swing should be no harder with a driver then it is with a 7 iron. Yes you see the pros swinging a bit harder, but thats cause they are pros. I am a certified pro in Canada and the biggest misconception for people is the harder you swing the farther the ball goes. This is not true. When you swing harder you leave yourself open to changing your swing plane and therefore prone to hooks and slices. The best way to get better is to try and maintain the same swing speed with each club. Adjusting your swing for each club will make the game harder to learn, think of it this way. With 14 clubs in your bag, if you have 14 different swings how hard does that sound. Let the club work for you as thats why they have different degrees of loft. Around the green is where you will need to differ your swing. That just takes time to get used to your style. Remember, play your game, not anyone elses.

I need some help with my golf game?

Off the tee:

I usually hit 3 wood because I can hit it as far and more accurate than my driver. When I hit with my driver why doesn’t it feel like I hit the ball well?

Fairway:

My fairway shots are usually good, the odd time I will slice the ball as a lefty.

Approach:

My approach shots are decent, but I can’t stick the ball, so it sometimes ends up rolling to far.

Putting:

I had a 4 PUTT today! It was the first hole, so I didn’t have a feel for the greens, but it’s horrible. I seem to miss too many 3-4 footers. I feel so much pressure when i’m putting them trying to avoid a 3 putt.

Is it bad to have a baseball grip on my golf clubs?

Thanks.

1. most people would be better served hitting a FW off the tee- the higher loft and shorter shaft help make for a straighter shot. There could be a couple of things wrong:
A. you’re trying to kill your driver, but not the 3 wood. Swing them both the same way. Let the loft do it’s job.
B. Your driver just isn’t right for you. You may need to get fit for either a new one, or have your current retro-fitted.

2. An occasional slice stinks, but it isn’t something that can’t be fixed. Knowing where your misses go is a great strategical tool.

3. You are not alone. Make sure you’re making ball-first contact and take a divot on the target side of the ball. Urethane covered balls spin best; coupling that with clean, sharp wedge grooves and an accelerating attack into the ball will increase the amount of backspin put on the ball.

4. Forget the 4 putt. That’s done and over with now… it’s akin to a CB getting beat for a TD- you need to forget about it and move on, because you know that you’re better than that, and it was a fluke. You seem to put too much emphasis on those putts. Why? Will it cost you a million bucks if you miss? Will it give you a rash? No, that’s just plain silly… it’s just another putt, whether it’s a 3 footer or a 30 footer, you’ve done this before.

5. No, while rare, there have been professionals that have used it. Some people will laugh, or make you change it, but if you’re beating them… they’ll stop laughing. Jack Nicklaus himself, in his "Golf My Way" movie said interlocking, overlapping or baseball didn’t matter. It’s what you’re comfortable with. As long as it works, go with it.

Review of cobra golf club?

How is cobra driver LD F speed, and hybrid golf club?

I have an old cobra 460sz and am cosidering upgrading to a LD fspeed – i love my driver but the loft is too high. Other than that cant tell you anything about the LD F speed.

As for the hybrid – i have the new baffler and love it. I use that instead of my 5 wood – i can hit the baffler off the tee, out of rough, out of fairway bunkers, hard pan, etc.

FYI – a lot of shops are selling last years baffler for $99, and the old Fspeed drivers for $199.
