Exaggerate tall-and-on-toes to feel the chip setup

A feel drill to ingrain the corrected chipping setup: exaggerate the bad habit (sinking into your heels and leaning back), then swing to the exact opposite (super tall, bent over, on your toes) and dramatically exaggerate that. The extreme contrast trains the feeling of the correct position, even though the real setup you want is just centered, a lot taller, and a little more bent over.

Try it

  1. do an extreme exaggeration of the bad habit
  2. the exact opposite is super tall bent over on your toes
  3. dramatically exaggerate it for the feeling drill part

Why this context matters

Exaggeration is only for the feeling; the actual setup is a moderate version.
