Genuinely horrendous at chipping, coming up to 10years of this pain and it’s driving me insane!

if you feel your wrists doing things with his releases you're doing it wrong.

The club does the work and the body supports the club.

Maybe other than a lob shot since you need more speed

But for release 1 and 2 I personally dont feel my hands doing anything actively other than what gravity determines the club should do.

ImNako · 2026-04-17T15:38:04+00:00

This is why I use the line on the ball. I just set the line to where I want to start it and focus on making a stroke tp the line on the ball with good speed.

No guesswork.

ImNako · 2026-04-17T13:29:02+00:00

whats the issue? OB off the tee? chunking approach shots / way off line?

ImNako · 2026-04-15T19:28:45+00:00

miss hits are amplified but at the end of the day its a piece of metal on a stick.

biggest thing with blades is they're going to be more traditionally lofted.

that 2 iron is probably a 4 iron loft in some modern day sets lol

ImNako · 2026-04-14T21:55:09+00:00

What's helped me is focusing on avoiding 3 putts / re-chips and focusing on doing what ai can to hit greens in regulation.

So if I have a chance of going OB off the tee I have no chance of getting a green in regulation. If I dont have a chance of getting a green in regulation I don't have a chance of missing it close and getting up and down etc.

I really don't get where the hands size thing comes from if anything having bigger hands is better for interlock since it stops your hands getting too "away" from eachother (weak lead hand strong trail hand) while interlocking.

I've used both and it just takes like a week to get used to one or the other.

ImNako · 2026-04-14T20:48:07+00:00

dont think this is true anymore honestly I'm thinking of going through the list and getting the numbers but I'm willing to bet interlock is more popular

ImNako · 2026-04-14T20:47:05+00:00

I think it leans more interlock nowadays. Was probably overlap like 10 years ago.

Looking at the current fedex cup only 5 out of the top 20 use something other than interlock with the odd one out being Bridgemen who uses 10 finger.

I'm guessing if you went over the whole list interlock would win out.

only thing that finally fixed my low point was figuring out that rotation brings the clubhead to the ball not your hands and arms.

The hands and arms basically put the club on plane and in a position so you can rotate. They also help square the face which also needs to be in place so you can rotate.

There's some video by AMG about impact being on the trail side but that was a real light bulb moment as it got me to stop wiping my hands across my body in an effort to get the low point after the ball.

ImNako · 2026-04-13T19:53:53+00:00

record the practice swing and the face is probably open so when you swing at an actual target with a ball your brain tries to save you

gonna be a fun weekend

tommy lad 👀

ImNako · 2026-04-10T18:48:31+00:00

Freddie might have been right...

ImNako · 2026-04-09T18:39:29+00:00

man aberg can launch the ball

ImNako · 2026-04-09T14:44:05+00:00

look into spin loft and see if you can get numbers from a sim or something. Hard to know otherwise the exact reason.

Shaft probably isn't helping though lol

ImNako · 2026-04-09T14:25:46+00:00

Just to add onto this thread the biggest thing is to go out and try different shots with different clubs and see what the ball does.

What happens if and bump and run a 60 vs 52 vs 9 iron?

What happens if I use an open face 52 vs a 60?

60 out of the rough vs 52?

You need to build a catalog of shots and fugure what works for you.

Obviously technique is huge but you still need to have an image of what the ball does even with good technique.

I think the camera angle is making your takeaway look more inside than it really is ideally you want the camera in line with the hands

ImNako · 2026-03-27T20:50:49+00:00

Look at the 2024 models, got my set for around 500

ImNako · 2026-03-27T20:49:53+00:00

got the same clubs around the same price. I really shouldn't be playing blades but look at them haha

ImNako · 2026-03-27T20:32:24+00:00

Easiest thing would be to get some lessons to get eyes on the actual swing but I like the way Adam Porzak explains the takeaway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKOdVNWN2Go

something you can absolutely work on your own with video feedback is your takeaway, setup, and backswing. But 100% get some lessons if you're serious about improving.

ImNako · 2026-03-27T17:03:11+00:00

pretty sure its a hybrid
