This tip, the Toe Chip from Mr. Short Game, is an absolute game saver. It’s designed specifically for those tough shots around the green where you find yourself short side in the 2nd cut to a downhill pin.

The Toe Chip

One of two things generally happens. You’re so afraid to fly one by the pin you chunk it six inches.

Or you rocket one by the pin and leave yourself with a thirty-footer back for par.

Mr. Short Game’s “Toe Chip” shot is perfect for these situations. You set up for a normal chip but intentionally hit it off the toe for a “dead shot.” Hitting off the toe results in a dampening strike with less energy delivered to the ball that will naturally come up short and not fully release.

The result is more pars and fewer bogeys.

WARNING: this shot does require practice to dial in how much energy you need to deliver.
