00:02 - Hi, Dan Greave here,

00:06 head professional at Woburn Golf Club,

00:07 and this is a nice drill for you

00:08 to help you improve your contacts on the chip and runs.

00:11 One of the most common faults with a chip and run shot

00:14 is that the player will tend to back off onto the back foot

00:16 and attempt to try and help the ball into the air.

00:18 That makes the low point of the swing

00:20 too far behind the ball,

00:21 leading to fat and thin shots.

00:23 So, something that you can have a go at in practice

00:26 is you set up as normal

00:28 and then pull your left foot forward a bit

00:29 and bring your right foot right away back here.

00:31 So, you're right on the toe here.

00:33 And what you'll find is all of your weight now

00:35 is on the left side.

00:37 And then your goal is to make sure

00:38 that you stay in this position as you hit the shot,

00:41 and you just get some nice solid strikes

00:43 and start to get that feeling

00:45 of how that weight stays left as you chip.
