The use of the word chipping often times gets misused. To me, chipping is when you use the front edge of the club to contact the ground at impact. You may use any club to chip with.
The set up in chipping is critical to get the proper strike on the ball. Narrow your stance and have it slightly open. Stand closer to the ball, similar to a putt and place the ball off the inside of your back foot. The club is going to stand straighter up and down at address as a result of this set up. Have your hands in front of the ball and lean your weight toward your front leg.
The motion of the chip should be similar to a putt with the handle of the club remaining forward of the ball at impact. The video below supports my teaching style of this shot. For more of my instruction videos go to: http://youtube.com/timcusickgolf
