Spin to Win

The other short-game drill Ganne does frequently is designed to manage spin and is easy to replicate. It uses a couple of alignment sticks – though you could just as easily use a club shaft – and the object is simple: Try to chip over the closer stick without the ball touching the far stick.

If the ball goes past or touches the far stick, you don’t advance the other stick. Otherwise the sticks are placed a little bit closer together each time. Take 10 shots and see how much closer you can get the two sticks to one another.

Rudolph likes this drill because it provides a way to measure progress, while Ganne says, “You can mimic those shots when you’re just off the green or you are short-sided. It also gets the competitive juices flowing really good.”
