A chip shot is a low running shot played primarily with the left hand. And a pitch shot is a high, soft shot played primarily with the right. To master the low running chip, practice with just your left hand. To master the pitch use just your right. You'll be amazed how good you are at both when you can use both hands. ******************************************************** ******************************************************** We're also on Facebook at http://bit.ly/s8GSkS. © Copyright National University System 2009
