Groove chip connection with the no-club drill

To build arm-body connection for chipping, the instructor has the player drop the club, put the thumbs together, and set the hands back as far as they go (like pushing a ball under water). Keeping the elbows in and connected, make a movement back and through without overthinking it.

Try it

  1. Drop the club and put your thumbs together
  2. Get your hands back pretty much as far as they go, as if pushing a ball under the pool
  3. Get your elbows nicely in and keep the elbows connected
  4. Make a movement back and a movement through, don't think too much about it

Why this context matters

A no-equipment feel drill the coach says can be done anywhere.
