- Reading  - Grip  - *For the left hand*, the club should run diagonnally across the **base** of the fingers (i.e., avoid placing in the palm). The left thumb should be right of the center on the handle. - *For the right hand*, the handle runs from the middle portion of the right index to the base of the pinky. The right hand 'v' should point up to the armpit. - The club should be held lightly to allow for plenty of wrist freedom - Address - For most clubs, the ball is in the center of your body. It moves forward in your stance toward your front foot as clubs get longer. - Arms hang just a hair outside of being completely vertical - Hands are always the same distance from your thoughts no matter which club is being used. - The butt of the club should point toward your belt line, slight left of center for me - Stance - Inside of feet align with outside of shoulders - Distribute weight evenly on the feet from the heal to the toe - Bend at the hips - Knees are slightly flexed  - Back Swing  - Take away the club so that midway through the backswing, the **club should be parallel with stance line** by swinging with shoulders, arms, and hands  - The right elbow points to ground; all in all, your arms make a triangle with the base parallel to the ground  - Weight shifts to right knees but knee remains flexed  - Left shoulder tucks under chin - Clubface is parallel to left forearm  - Left heel on ground  - On down swing shift weight to left side and let arms “fall” downward in front my chest  - Practice - A proper group should be able to: - Swing back and forth without the club moving - Be used for hitting multiple chips in a row without needed to re-grip
