Adam Bazalgette from Scratch Golf Academy demonstrates how to develop chipping feel through the 'Brush Marks' drill. He explains how to maintain soft but stable wrists to ensure the club brushes the grass rather than digging or 'chopping' into it.
Chipping success is heavily dependent on 'feel' rather than just rigid mechanics.
Practice making 'brush marks' on the turf to find the correct depth of the clubhead.
Avoid stiff wrists, but also refrain from excessive wrist cocking during the chipping motion.
A 'chopping' sensation usually leads to a 'chunked' or fat shot; aim for a smooth brush instead.
