THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHIP AND A PITCH
U
nderstanding the differ-
ence between a chip
and a pitch and when
to utilize each of these shots is
one key to mastering your
short game.
The biggest difference
between the two shots is the
height and the roll out of the ball
once it releases on the green.
For a chip, the ball travels
lower to the ground after contact
and will release and roll out more
than a pitch. This is very
important to understand as you
don't want the ball to fly all the
way to the hole as it will end up
rolling well past. A chip shot is
best if you have a clear line to the
pin with no obstructions.
With a pitch shot, the ball will
travel higher in the air and have a
limited release because it lands
on the green at a steeper angle.
This shot is best utilized when
you have obstacles between you
and the pin, such as a bunker,
lake or mound.
