Chip with a straight arm and hands forward drill

Start with your hands slightly forward in the setup and take a little chip shot while keeping the left arm straight. Go through with the weight forward and the arms staying straight so the hands are forward at impact. Continue to emphasize this contact, and you will start taking little divots.
