My question is why does deceleration in a chip shot result in hitting behind the ball, even when the flying wedges are maintained.
Thanks!
Matt

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
Lost Lag. Failed to reach aiming point. Club head was pre-maturely DOWN and the Low Point of the circle moved behind the ball.
So it could be said that overacceleration and deceleration (especially short game) are both demons!

I would say overacceleration is a definite yes . . . however intentional throwaway can be a deadly weapon . . . tune in on television and see it every week on the PGA Tour.
Bucket , when you meant throwaway, bent left wrist or early casting?
Both . . . I have seen David Orr use managed throwaway and casting (hand throw) to hit a 2 iron flop shot that would climb straight up over your granny's boo-font and drop softer than a pimp strutin' barefoot on hot black tar.

Deceleration is QUITTING- 3-F-7-B, one of the four snares. Slowing or stopping the hands changes the Down and Out clubhead path. Losing Lag not only adds to quitting- in your case from deceleration- but also corrupts rhythm. Bottom line- your machine needs tuning.
Over acceleration is another rhythm corruptor. When your hands “out pace” the same basic RPMs of the turn- components poorly spaced and released inaccurately.
The Pros throw-away because they are gifted ball strikers with exceptional eye hand coordination and can get away with driver throw-away. But many don't know anything about swivel or roll, either.
An open-faced club can be 'slid' under a ball and clubhead throw-away may be the only way it can be done when held very open with a hard outside to in cut.
