Tips From The Tour: The Biggest Mistake on Uphill Chip Shots
Most greens are elevated. Which means most of your chip shots are uphill. But when the slope gets severe, most golfers make the same mistake…
They try to match their shoulders to the slope.
And that’s where everything falls apart.
What If You Didn't Have to Push Yourself Anymore?
Imagine waking up Monday being pulled out of bed — not needing to pushing yourself out of it.
That pull isn't motivation. It isn't willpower. It's what happens when Tony Robbins conditions a different identity into your nervous system. An identity doesn't wait, doesn't hesitate, doesn't negotiate with itself.
That's what Unleash the Power Within does. It’s not inspiration. It’s Conditioning. The patterns that keep you hesitating, shrinking, and circling the same problems — Tony interrupts them at the root and installs new ones. You don't leave motivated. You leave re-wired differently.
4 days. Virtual. March 12–15. 5 million people across 195 countries have done this. It’s your time.
Save $100 by getting a ticket before March 6th. After that the price goes up. But the real cost is another year pushing instead of being pulled.
🚫 The Common Mistake
When players tilt their shoulders to match the hill:
Their center of gravity falls behind the ball
They bottom out too early
They hit behind it
The ball comes out high and soft… and short
It feels right. But it doesn’t work.
✅ The Tour Adjustment
Instead of matching your shoulders to the slope… Keep your shoulders level to the horizon. Yes, even though you’re standing on an uphill lie.
Here’s what that does:
Keeps your pressure forward
Promotes clean, ball-first contact
Prevents the chunk
Controls the low point
Because you’re swinging level to the horizon, the club will naturally slow into the hill. The slope itself adds resistance.
You don’t need to help it. You just need to strike it clean.
