The NEW Padraig Harringtons BEST TIP of 2023! (BEST DRILL I HAVE USED)
Alex Elliott demonstrates a unique chipping technique popularized by Padraig Harrington that utilizes a wide stance and forward sternum position. The video highlights the 'Towel Drill' to ensure golfers maintain their weight on the lead side and avoid the common mistake of 'scooping' the ball.
Position your sternum on or slightly ahead of the golf ball to create a predictable strike.
Adopt a wide stance with the right foot on the tip-toe to force weight onto the lead side.
Place the ball forward in your practice stance to encourage forward shaft lean and discourage flipping.
Use a rolled-up towel 1-2 club heads behind the ball to train a steeper angle of attack and avoid hitting the ground early.
Keep your eyes on the impact zone and watch the club make a divot rather than looking up too early.
