Coach of World #1s Shows Me How to Practice to Fix My Chipping

In this short instructional clip, Jerome Rufin learns a professional chipping drill designed to fix a 'sharp' or digging impact. The technique involves using an alignment club on the ground to guide the swing path along the shaft plane while maintaining lead-side pressure and a stable handle position.

• Lay a club on the ground to create a visual 'yellow line' representing the shaft plane.
• Place the ball in the middle of your stance with the handle set slightly forward.
• Adopt a wider stance and keep your pressure shifted toward your lead (left) side.
• The club should move up and down the shaft plane, tracking through the height of your hands.
• Avoid delofting the face or taking the club too far outside on the takeaway.
