Practice Drills for Better Chipping: Building Skill and Confidence
Regular practice with these drills helps improve chipping consistency and control.
I. Towel Drill • Setup: Place a towel a few feet onto the green. • Execution: Attempt to land chip shots directly onto the towel. This drill is effective for developing distance control and accuracy in the landing spot. II. Bucket Chip • Setup: Set a bucket a short distance away. • Execution: Practice chipping balls into the bucket. This drill enhances aim and trajectory control. III. Trail Foot Back • Setup: Position the trail foot (back foot) slightly behind the body. • Execution: This setup naturally encourages weight to remain forward on the lead leg and lean towards the target through the swing, promoting proper contact. IV. Shaft Extension Drill • Setup: Extend an alignment stick or a spare shaft through the lead side of the grip, pointing towards the lead hip. • Execution: This helps prevent excessive wrist movement through impact, contributing to a more stable club face and consistent strikes.
