In this instructional video, PGA professional Jason Day shares his go-to short game practice routine featuring the Towel Drill and the One Bounce Drill. Day emphasizes the importance of 'spot chipping' and ensuring that practice swing energy perfectly matches the requirements of the actual shot. He demonstrates how to adjust trajectory and hand position to control the ball's bounce and roll on the green.
Focus on a specific landing spot (spot chipping) rather than looking only at the hole.
Perform practice swings specifically to gauge the exact energy and speed needed for the landing spot.
Use the Towel Drill to build a baseline of landing accuracy and track your progress out of 10 balls.
Master the One Bounce Drill to understand how different trajectories (high/soft vs. low/firm) react upon hitting the green.
Adjust club shaft lean at impact (forward vs. neutral) to alter flight height and landing softness.
