Most amateurs reach for a 60-degree wedge around the green, try to throw it in the air like the pros — and end up with a flub, a knife, or a bogey at best.

There’s a better shot. GOLF’s Maddi MacClurg works with instructor David Armitage to learn the bump and run: an 8-iron chip that keeps the ball low, takes the flop out of play, and turns a high-risk pitch into something closer to a long putt.

David breaks down the setup adjustments that make it work — choking down, standing closer, going toe-down with the shaft, switching to your putting grip, and getting your weight forward with the wrists locked. The result is a shorter, more repeatable swing with fewer power sources and far fewer ways to miss.
