DESCRIPTION

To encourage the players to maintain firm wrists throughout the stroke.

Encourage the player to prepare as normal for chipping

then slide the remainder of the handle under the cuff of a sweater or hold firmly against the forearm, of the arm nearest to the target

When making the stroke this relationship should be maintained

Many players tend to use the wrists to attempt to scoop the ball into the air rather than using a descending blow with the wrists firm.

Be sure to remember that this is a drill only and is illegal to use when playing.
