Hi all from OZ,the more I get into the "yellow bible"the more I learn reliable techniques,so much so I now practice using machine principles.
For instance,I used to say to myself "more R/hand,or hit down etc"the list goes on.Now I can use,pivot,accs and p/points and know what their applications are.
Today,I started a long chipping session using different accumulators and p/points etc,I never used to chip with any pivot at all,always just used hands,so inevitably I would mess-up and not really ever know what or where I was breaking down etc.
I can know practice using different "proper" procedures and actually know exactly what I am doing.(thats a real change for me)the pivot on the short chips has given me a whole new confidence that I never had before.Thanks again TGM and LBG.(2 weeks,2 wins at the local course)

Hi brownman
I have started chipping in a way I call chipping with everything! All about the pivot and really keeping the arms pretty passive. Really feel like I have more control over distance because I can much more easily rush or stop my arms, but my body movement is much more controlled.
Does that mean it depends on the person? In another post, it talk about how good chipping and pitching by using right arm only push stroke (hitting).
For extremely short shots which Homer termed Basic Motion, we limit ourselves to our Basic singular Power Accumulator. Putting or short chip shots say. The Hitter using his Actively extending right arm, from a Push or Punch elbow position. The Swinger using his Right Shoulder in a rocking type motion say. There are options.
For longer chip shots we need more power and so we "acquire" it by adding a pivot. This Homer termed Acquired Motion. We add another Accumulator to our Basic Motion.
Could someone please comment has to why my contact seems to be towards the toe when I am chipping. Thanks.
There are a few things that you may want to check in the yellow bible, if you have it. The Golfing Machine refers to Steering, Quitting, Bobbing and Swaying as the golfer's Snares--especially during Basic Motions (chipping).
