Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

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.

club behind

To encourage the pupil to develop the correct angle of attack and contact

Encourage the pupil to set up ready to hit the ball then place another club shaft around a foot behind the object ball (1). This should encourage good ball contact, as the pupil will be required to strike downwards and discourage a ?scooping? action (2).

Drop the shaft

To encourage the pupil to address the ball in the correct position.

Encourage the pupil to prepare to hit the shot, then drop the club from their hands. The club should fall and hit the inside of the front thigh if the hands were positioned correctly in relation to the body.

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).

Point The Way

To encourage the pupil to check the clubface aim.

Lay a club shaft, or other straight line, parallel to the aim line and encourage the pupil to check that the bottom leading edge is at right angles to the ball to target line (1). When setting up with the ball towards the rear of the stance, many pupils tend to have the blade open (2).
