Strike cleaner chips and pitches
ALAN WHITE
Stick an alignment stick into the butt of your wedge. Address the ball normally, making sure there is a slight gap between your lead side and the stick. Hit chip shots with the stick in place. Your simple goal is to make sure you never let the stick touch your side during the shot. This proves your body is contributing to the strike through rotation. If your body stops and the hands flick, you’ll feel the stick against your side.
