To encourage the player to develop the correct angle of attack and contact. Encourage the player to make a number of rehearsal swings brushing the grass opposite and forwards of the ball   This brushing of the grass should then be repeated with the ball in the way.

To encourage the pupil to get into a correct grip routine and technique for chipping. Pupils begin by holding their hands either side of the shaft and then clap the shaft with the palms facing one another. Slide the hand furthest from the target down, close the fingers with the thumbs pointing down the centre of the shaft, but ensure that the hands are still close together.

Pupils begin by holding their hands either side of the shaft and then clap the shaft with the palms facing one another (1). Slide the hand furthest from the target down (2), close the fingers with the thumbs pointing down the centre of the shaft, but ensure that the hands are still close together (3).

To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for controlling the length of the swing to control the length of the ball flight Encourage the pupil to imagine they are stood within a clock face and that they should swing their hands and arms level with 8o?clock ? 4 o? clock, 9 o?clock ? 3 o? clock etc (1). Pupils should monitor the consistency of the distance of ball flight.

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).

To encourage the pupil to check for a correct hold technique. Pupils begin by taking their completed hold of the club (1). Take a coin and place it between the pupil?s thumb and forefinger (2). The pupil should be able to hold a coin between the thumb and forefinger of both hands. The coins should point towards the rear shoulder (3).

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.

To encourage the pupil limit lower body motion when chipping. Following the stance drill, encourage the pupil to turn both feet so that they point 30% towards the target, or so the body turns to face the target more (1). This discourages weight shift in the swing and enables a better perception of the target (2).

To encourage the pupil to link hands to work as a unit. Place a ?5.00 note or a piece of paper between the lifeline of the upper hand and the thumb of the lower hand (1). The pupil should be able to complete a swing without the paper falling out if they are holding the club correctly (2).

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.

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).
