The chip shot is much the same in stance and set-up as a putt, in fact the key often times is to get the ball on the ground and rolling as fast as possible. Chip shots are often only used if there is a small obstacle in the way, such as a sprinkler head or light rough that you can't putt over, in which case you chip the ball over the obstacle and onto the green, getting it rolling as soon as possible. Many people chip with anything from an 8 iron to a pitching wedge, often the higher lofted wedges are not used at all because it takes too long of a swing to get the ball to the hole. The longer the swing, the more room for error, hence the use of the chip shot. Steve O.
