I LOVE YOU SHAWN! The key is for the head to be behind the ball. This has worked for EVERY stroke today and i shot a 78 (A PERSONAL BEST). THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

Could you post a video or explain how the downhill chip shot works, where to put the weight, where to position the ball, etc.? thanks

Hi Phillip;

Did you see the chip yips and downhill chip vid yet?

Shawn

[philippschi]

Yes, very helpful. I especially like that you mention the downhill swing path and the left shoulder/armpit connection. One thing I feel slightly different for myself though: Rather than "toss + fall", I don't let it fall but rather use more of a "shoulder back + forth" rocking movement (as when putting). Using/Feeling my shoulder gives me more control than just letting it "fall".

[clemshaw]

Yes, very good, this is how you want to go about it and I am sure you do it without interrupting momentum as this is the key; as long as the pushing through with your right shoulder does not feel jerky...Nice exchange Philip! Shawn

Every video says put your wieght on the front foot and it always seems like it is an uphill shot to the green which makes it hard to do.

I think it is way too easy to for the bogey golfer to stick the club in the ground behind the ball if he/she puts his weight on the front foot.

Go with plan B.

hey could you help me on a down hill shots

[CUnEll1]

what if the grass on the side of the green is around 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick and the ball is sitting up on top, or fluffed up, still on an uphill lie. I always play it like a normal pitch shot with the ball in the back of my stance because i dont know what else to do.

If you search it on youtube, many others have videos on the downhill chip.
