Chipping...

You
will find yourself becoming a very good chipper
of the golf ball in PS. The reason being, you
are going to miss a lot more greens then you
were used to while using the click method of
playing LinksLS. That is inevitable and you will
just need to adjust to it. On the positive side,
the PS LW chip swing meter markings are the same
as the putting meter and the ball will travel
similar distances too. This simplifies chipping
considerably.
The chip meter is divided in units of 10 feet
just like the putting meter. The first unit
(which has the yellow dashed lines) is further
broken up into units of 1 foot each. The 10 foot
increments have half markings too. The first of
the three very large markings is the 50 foot
mark, the 2nd is the 100 foot mark and the 3rd
(last) is the 150 foot mark. So, for a 45 foot
chip, you would pull the club back to the half
mark right in front of the 50 foot mark and
smoothly accelerate through the snap mark. Make
sure to click at the snap mark but continue to
accelerate past it to the finish. I try to
'slap' the club head squarely against the very
front of the swing meter. Doing this seems to
help in two ways. One, it helps keep the swing
on plane as I'm trying to move the putter all
the way to the end and not just to the snap
point. Two, CHS is increased because I have a
longer swing (back to the distance I want and
then through to the very front of the meter and
not just to the snap mark).
Here is a small table showing the differences I
experience between the LW chip and the PW chip.
Remember, compare these to each other only. Your
distances will be different due to the
differences between yours and my CHS while
chipping. But, as long as your CHS is
consistent, then these comparisons, as a
percentage, should be valid for you too. I
haven't noticed too much difference between
fairway chips and chips out of the rough. A
little less loft and maybe a touch more roll is
all.

The left column are the chip meter
markings/distances and all calculations are in
feet.
As you can see, my LW chip distances are almost
perfect for the markings on the chip meter. This
might not be the case with you because your CHS
will not exactly match mine.
The PW chip carry averages about 125% of the LW
chip (a little shorter for the shorter distances
and a little longer for the longer distances).
The PW chip total footage averages about 145% of
the LW chip total footage (again, a little less
for the shorter distances and a little more for
the longer distances). You should be able to use
this information as a comparison to the
distances you find yourself chipping with these
two clubs even though your CHS will be different
then mine.
