[Pro] Chipping: too hard or just broken?
My current player has a 9 on Short Game Accuracy and I miss 50 chips for every one I get. I know how to chip, I know how the game works, been playing every year since TW 07. Beads or not, the chips ...

This is not my experience with chipping. If you are using correct distance and angle, and accounting for rollout, I've never been more than 2-3 feet away on a chip. If your 10-20 yards off, you probably shouldnt have been chipping that shot....
As a rule of thumb, use about 50% rollout on a flat chip. Then adjust up and down for elevation like you would for a putt.

I think he is referring to hitting a driver off the tee box. He probably just got a little off topic.
I see this often... when I do get a PERFECT/PERFECT with what seems to be a perfect swing path only to see it go somewhere unexpected... well outside the dispersion zone, and sometimes against the wind.
But I totally agree with you. I only chip inside about 15 yards... and I'm usually well inside 3 feet. Outside 15 yards it's a flop shot.
Sorry for being off topic! I just wanted the OP to know that I didn't feel it was just on chipping that his problem was being observed. Thanks for the advice on the chipping,pitching and flop shot distances.
Lol no worries. I didn’t realize you were not specifically talking about chipping until it was pointed out 🙂!
