CHIPPING COIN DRILL
This chipping coin drill can be practiced from the comfort of your home. Challenge yourself to chip a coin. This will train you to make better contacts with your chip shots.
This chipping coin drill forces you to stay down (body tilt) through the chip shot in order to have better accuracy with your clubs. Place some coins on your living room carpet and try hitting these coins by sending the coins in the air.
Place a large bowl in the middle of the floor and try to chip the coins into the bowl. See how many coins you can get into the bowl.
Please note: If you can chip a coin with your pitching wedge, you should be able to chip a ball with your pitching wedge a lot easier. You may want to use an old wedge when practicing this drill. After a while the coins can start to make small dents in your club face.
FOOT POSITION – STANCE
The positions of the feet and the ball are part of the 5 elements of the set up. Although there are different schools of thoughts regarding feet positions, I will give you my advice on what is the most practiced method.
The positions of your feet is the foundation of your golf swing. Make sure your feet are well positioned with every club. What should we do to obtain a great address position? Try placing your left foot in an open position. For the right handed player, the toe of the left foot should be turned slightly towards the target. This will promote a better follow through, therefore, a better golf swing, as shown in the image above.
The back foot (right foot for right handed players) should be placed approximately perpendicular to your target line.The front foot (left foot for right handed players) should be placed so that your feet are parallel to the target line with the left toe pointing slightly towards the target (left foot is in an open stance).
Your weight should be evenly distributed between the heels and the balls of your feet.
Notice my feet are not as wide apart with shorter clubs. As the clubs get longer, you want more stability with a wider stance. I used a #3 wood, a #5 iron and a sand wedge in these examples. This was a lesson I received many years ago that improved my overall basic golf swings. The proper address position (stance) is a very important part of the basic golf swing so be aware of how you place your feet before you make your swing.
The width of your stance should also be proportionate to the size of your swing. The shorter the swing, the narrower your stance, as shown in the image above.
