Do you want to improve your short game and hit better chips and pitches? One of the main reasons amateurs hit poor chip shots and pitch shots is due to too much tension in their arms and hands.  You will often see them make a jerky motion which results in a chunk shot or they skull the ball well past the pin.  When you address the ball, try thinking of the word “relax” and concentrate on removing all tension from your hands and arms.  Take a breathe and then make a smooth swinging motion.  You will start to hit better chips and pitches right away.
