No matter where you are , the climate might not always agree with you and you may not always have the sunny day to help practice your chipping. If you want to practice your chipping in a rainy day or you can't practice outside due to the winter season, well here are one or two drills you need to use to practice chipping indoors.
Equipment
The important thing you need to do is to be certain you have got the right equipment. When you are going to practice chipping indoors, you might want to pick up some soft practice balls. Besides, you wouldn't want to have damaged windows or holes in your wall now do you? If you have masses of room, you can actually use real balls and risk doing some damage by padding your target with a pillow or something soft, however if you're serious about your golf game, I think this is one investment worth making.
You also wish to ensure you can reproduce the conditions of the course. You won't be well placed to practice well if you go about chipping your balls on a hard surface. The trick here is to utilise a genuine flat carpet, the stuff that wears well if possible. Shaggy carpets do not always simulate the deep coarse; a better eventuality will be to buy your own mat to use to chip off of. This way, you don't wear a spot in the carpet from all the fictitious divots you would be taking.
What to Work On
The most vital thing you can do is to stand in front of a full-length mirror and work on your address. Position yourself with the ball two inches behind your center and ensure your hands are in front of the ball. Your body weight should be about 60% on the front and 40% on your back foot. Even though your just practicing indoors, make it a bit of a habit of setting up properly on every chip shot. So that next time you hit on the course, the good form will be ingrained in your subconscious.
Unless you live in a large house, you will be unable to work on long chip shots. That's fine. What you want to work on is to be certain you are doing is skyrocketing your shot through impact by following through longer than taking your club back. Do not hinge or flick and keep your wrists still and keep your lower body quiet.
Targets to Aim For
When you are absolutely prepared and you are set up properly for each chip shot, hit 1 or 2 balls toward a target. Learn what works for you whether you use solo cups or something completely different. Naturally you must also use your brains as the hole doesn't sit one or two inches off the floor, but so long as it works for you.
You may either work on landing the ball on top of your target, or merely making an attempt to make it stop close to it. You can make attempts to work on where the chip is going to land because getting The speed of your carpet down isn't going to help you once you're in the real greens. Once you have a feel of where your chip shots will land, then you can easily adjust for different green speeds and where your ball has to start rolling.
