Understanding the Problem
The Issue: A chunk occurs when the club bottoms out too early, hitting the ground several inches behind the ball. This absorbs all the club's energy in the turf rather than transferring it to the ball, resulting in shots that barely advance forward.
Common Causes:
- Trying to scoop or lift the ball
- Weight staying on back foot
- Casting or early release
- Ball position too far forward
- Flipping wrists at impact
- Dropping the club from the top
