Haunted by Happy Hips? Huh?
Elevated Grip How will you know? Two ways.

Painful way: Check if you hit fat or thin around greens—which drives you #@*&^!& batty! When demons start your hips a-swaying, it's Chunk City or Skull City, playing ping-pong across the green.

Painless way: Attend a TOUR Academy Short-Game School. Instructors will make you less hip and more accurate as a chipper with these tips:
  1. Ground the club behind the ball, then move the grip 2 to 4 inches away from your body, which lifts the heel of the club (see photo). This makes it difficult for the clubhead to dig into ground.
  2. Keeping heel of the club slightly elevated, step into your stance, which is narrowed, slightly open and weight favoring left foot. Shoulders are square to target. Butt end of club should point left of belt buckle.
  3. With small turning of shoulders—don't move the lower body—bring club back, as with putting.
  4. Swing is from the body's rotation; wrists stay quiet.
  5. Head is still through impact. "Have you ever lost a ball on the green?" asks TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass Instructor J.P. Guarneri. "Keep your head still—you’ll hear the ball hit the cup!"
