I went to a simpler technique as shown by Danny Maude and he plays off mud in the video. Joined Apr 6, Messages 14, Although I kinda see what he's trying to say it shows how easy it is to accidentally decelerate and flub a chip or two.
I prefer this video as you don't focus on swinging the club thru the ball, rather just worry about where you are going to stop I like it where he says "Put both hands right here..

I normally fancy myself to chip quite close.
If I mess up, it's normally because I've looked up too early which leads to a fatted shot. Doesn't need to be much, just a fraction of a second. You hardly notice it.
I guess I'm too keen to see the results. IainP Tour Rookie Jan 13, Joined Oct 26, Messages 3, Location Oxfordshire. The other thing that maybe hasn't been covered above is do you need to automatically grab the wedge. An 8 or 7 iron may automatically have you shallowing and shortening instinctively. Can work back up in loft once confidence returns.

For amateur golfers if you're playing a short iron or wedge the ball should be in the centre of your stance Fig. Have your hands in front of the ball. Added to having the ball too far forward in your stance, you may have your wrists behind the ball at impact Fig.
This gives you a wider swing path and increases the chance of hitting the ground first. PGA professional Sam Quirke has a great drill to get your hands forward of the ball at impact.
Finish in a balanced position. The follow-through is always important for any shot but especially when trying to prevent the duff shot. With a duff you might be hitting down on the ball too much without a follow-through so make sure you have a balanced high finish so you come up through the ball at impact. Strong wrists during downswing.
Have a looser grip but keep your wrists firm so your hands don't fall behind the ball at impact. At set up, lock your wrists in position ahead of the ball then try and hold this position throughout the swing.
Want any more swing tips and cures? One of the inherent challenges when it comes to chipping is hitting the ball solidly. Your mind will want to focus on things like the trajectory and distance of your shot, but you should first be thinking about the basic idea of hitting the ball solid at impact.
If you can avoid thin or fat contact when the club meets the ball, you should be fairly successful at getting the ball to stop close to the hole. Obviously there are other factors that you will need to consider eventually, but none of those factors matter if you can't hit the ball cleanly when you chip.
Learn how to put the ball on the center of the clubface with each shot before moving on to more advanced chipping topics. If you are currently hitting many of your chip shots either thin or fat, there are a number of potential causes that you will need to investigate in order to get to the bottom of the issue. The problems with your chipping could be physical, such as a flaw in your basic technique, or they could be mental.
Either way, reaching the ultimate goal of lowering your golf scores is going to require that you solve your chipping issues as soon as possible. All of the instruction that is contained below is based on a right handed golfer. If you happen to play left handed, please take a moment to reverse the directions as necessary.
The Causes of Fat Chip Shots. Miss-hitting a chip shot basically means one of two things — you either hit the shot fat, or you hit it thin. This section will deal with the problem of hitting the ball fat, and the following section will cover thin chip shots. Most likely, if you are struggling with your chipping, you have made each of these mistakes at least a few times throughout your golfing career.
Hitting the ball fat on a chip shot is frustrating because that mistake will often leave you facing another chip. Fat contact generally means the ball will come up short of your intended target — maybe even only a few feet in front of you.
If you hit a chip shot fat, you will basically have wasted a stroke while still facing the same shot yet again. Obviously, in order to lower your average score, you need to be able to mostly eliminate this mistake from your short game.
It is common for amateur golfers to hit fat chip shots from time to time, so you don't need to feel like you are the only one making this mistake. However, these poor shots can quickly damage your score, so it is in the best interest of your game to get to work right away on a correction.
Although this may be the main definition, a duff or chunked shot can be any bad shot where you have topped the ball by striking the ground first. This is because the low point of your swing is before you make contact with the ball, not an inch or so after inline with your left foot like it should be.
This causes you to hit the turf at this low point before the ball. Then the natural reaction is to flip up to try and correct your swing and get the ball airborne.
If you watch any professional golfer, they will keep this lag angle on the downswing. And most, if not all of them, will strike the ball with their hands in front at impact.
