Ball Under Heel

To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for correct weight distribution

Encourage the pupil to set up ready to hit the ball then place a ball beneath the heel of the foot furthest from the target to encourage the pupil to place more weight on the leg nearest to the target (1). This position should be maintained throughout the stroke (2). If the pupil consistently struggles with this skill get them to raise the rear heel above the ball and keep it in this position throughout the stroke (3).

Peg in the top

To encourage the pupil to maintain firm wrists throughout the stroke.
Encourage the pupil to prepare as normal for chipping, keeping the tee as close to their leading wrist as possible.

This should assist the pupil from preventing them from scooping the ball rather than using a descending low with the wrists firm.
