Chipping: Learn to Rotate

Posted by Golfer on January 1st, 2008 at 06:56pm

One of the major mistakes people make when they are chipping is they are forgetting to rotate and are using all arms in the shot. So I was taught a very helpful drill called the towel drill. In this drill you should put some towels underneath both of your armpits. Then, while holding the towels under your armpits, chip a golf ball about 25 feet. You will find that in order to do this, you must rotate your body and stop using only your arms because your arms are basically paralyzed in this situation. This drill will help you so much. Good luck!
