Keep the trail heel down through impact
Change clubs, not effort, for a longer chip
Lead the hands to create downward delivery- Lead with the hands to control chip trajectory
Test every impact checkpoint from memory
Lead with the hands to stop flipping and fat shots
Set the driver ball forward to hit it on the upswing
Set single-plane alignments at address
Match your address and impact plane- Close the arm gap for open torso, closed shoulders
Lay up to a full wedge instead of forcing the green
Check arm-lock alignment with the back of your hand- Blend checkpoints before hitting shots
Keep the trail foot on the ground to stabilize
Don't consciously square the clubface
Use a neutral lead-hand grip that needs no manipulation- Consider how much a 3-wood shaft kicks
A mud ball curves to the opposite side of the mud
Set the trail hand non-rotational at address
Oversized grips can leave the face open and push right
Practice three-footers with six balls around the hole- Feel your 25-30 impact position
- Choose an overlapping grip over interlocking
Commit fully to the single-plane model
Start transition with the lower body
Check torso alignment separately from shoulders- Never practice two putts from the same spot
Build address before placing the trail hand- Skip-a-rock release: extension produces speed
Aim to become great, not to fix your game
