Are your chip shots flying too high and lacking consistency? You might be releasing the club too early. This video breaks down the cause and offers a fantastic drill to get your arms and club working together for a crisp, reliable short game.
Transcript
00:03good what i was seeing there when you were swinging um basically was a club that was
00:08releasing too much so there's too much release to the club that's what's sending the ball up
00:12in the air great if you need to do that but in this situation you don't need to
00:15and what we want to work on here is getting the ball position right you're a little bit
00:19more sharply until you get the chest in front of the ball but we really want to make sure
00:23that your club head is outside of your hands the other shaft is an extension of the arm
00:27yeah whereas you're in here yeah and that's out of sync that means it requires too much release to
00:32the club head to to return it really good drill for you to feel like if you take your right
00:35hand
00:35off the club all together yeah and just take it away with your left arm feel like you're pushing
00:39from the shoulder and less here yeah but this is the initiator yeah okay rather than the forearm
00:44there you go do you feel that definitely do it again that's good now if you should be able to
00:48hold that club there for a few minutes quite comfortably yeah because the weight of the
00:52club head is through your arm now if i do this for a second how's your wrist feeling now yeah
00:58it's
00:59more active that's for sure yeah and i should be really starting to hurt yeah i'm quite uncomfortable
01:02yeah now if i put it back on plane yeah it's a lot more comfortable it's easier because you're
01:06supporting the weight through the arm so this would be an excellent drill for you to feel where the
01:09backswing should be there we go now see that's gone lower hold the finish for me hold the finish
01:15right this is great technique love that so your chest the hands and the club head have matched up
01:21but if you look at this follow-through versus your old follow-through see how the club head
01:25is sort of at knee height yeah and the butter grips points on the left hip so that's release one
01:30right whereas before it was much higher right much too much release
01:34yeah
