Line-on-ball drill for square chip contact

A chipping practice drill: put a line on your golf ball (a triple-track) and aim the stripe at the hole. It gives you a visual for making the club attack straight and pop into the back of the ball. The feedback is built in - if you wipe across the ball and put left-to-right side spin on it, you will see the stripe spin away to the right.

Try it

  1. line the triple stripe up to the hole
  2. pop straight into the back of that golf ball
  3. if I wipe across it, I'll see that triple track spinning away to the right hand side

Why this context matters

Presented right after he wiped a chip and it drifted right off a muddy lie.
