ADJUST
YOUR
CHIPPING
STROKE USING A
COAT HANGER
STEFANIE
DELGRECO
The biggest problem that I see people have around the
greens is that they try to lift the ball up into the air, and
so we see a lot of hinging with the wrists. This is a really
simple drill you can do with something that is right in your
closet.
Take a coat hanger and line it up along the side of
the club grip, and when you set up, lean the coat
hanger onto your leading forearm. Doing that
allows you to check through the swing if you can
maintain that angle as you follow through.
What you will see is if you use your hands and wrists too
much, the coat hanger will come over to the other forearm
instead of remaining along the leading side. It's a way to
get your hands and wrists out of your chipping stroke.
