Basic Chipping Drills
Without a Club
Take chipping stance without a golf club, place your palms together, and point finger tips away from your target. Pay attention to the angle created by your wrists. Swing your arms back and forth like you were chipping. As you swing maintain the angle created by your wrists. This drill encourages passive hands that are needed to perform the chip shot consistently.
One Handed Drill
With a club take your chipping stance. Now take your trail (bottom) hand and place it behind your back. This drill is performed using only the target (top) hand in the chipping swing motion. Our goal is to swing the club and maintain a straight line with our target arm and the shaft of the club. First, start without a golf ball to get the proper feel of this drill. Second, perform this drill with a ball. Done correctly this drill promotes a flat wrist in the target hand. Done incorrectly the target wrist breaks down and the palm of the target hand faces the ground.
