Problem: Article: Bring your club back further during your backswing and swing harder to put more power into your chip shot. Hitting the ball hard will result in a far shot that will get a lot of air. If you need to clear an obstruction that is 3–5 yd (2.7–4.6 m) long, use a longer backswing and put more power in your shot. If you need the ball to clear a smaller obstruction, reduce the distance of your backswing and put less power into your forward swing. Less power in your swing will also reduce the amount that the ball rolls after landing. If you need to clear an obstruction that is 1–2 yd (0.91–1.83 m) long, you may want to use less power and put less backswing on your shot. The grain of the green will affect how and where your ball rolls. Practice hitting a couple of balls in the center of the putting green, then work your way to the fringes of the course.  Practice chipping balls in the sand. Make sure to get out of the way if someone is golfing behind you. Find an area where you can set up cones or ribbons to indicate 30, 60 and 90 yd (27, 55 and 82 m). Set up the markers somewhere off the golfing green. Use these indicators to practice hitting balls a specific distance. You can also set up a practice range in your backyard if you don’t have access to a golf course. Practice hitting the ball to the 30 yd (27 m) marker at first. Adjust the power and angle of your swing until you get the feeling for the 30 yd (27 m) marker. Once you’re confident, move to the 60 yd (55 m) marker and then finally the 90 yd (82 m) marker. With enough practice and repetition you’ll be able to hit precise chip shots when golfing.
Summary: Use more power to make your shot travel further. Use less power if you don't need the ball to travel far. Practice putting the ball to get a feeling for the green. Set up indicators 30, 60 and 90 yd (27, 55 and 82 m) away. Try chipping to each marker.

Problem: Article: You can leave your bracelet plain, especially if it already has designs printed onto it. You can also take it to the next level by decorating it in one of the following ways listed below. Some toothbrushes have a hole in the base of the handle. If you have a toothbrush like this, you can add a charm to it. Get a pair of pliers, a large jump ring, and a pretty bead or charm, then do the following:  Hold one side of the jump ring with your fingers and the other with the pliers. Open the jump ring by pulling the two sides past each other (not away). Slip a charm or bead onto the jump ring. Slide one side of the jump ring through the hole in the toothbrush. Close the jump ring by pushing the two sides back towards each other. Pinch the jump ring shut the rest of the way, if needed.
Summary: Consider decorating the toothbrush bracelet. Add a charm if the toothbrush has a hole in it.

Problem: Article: Do not slouch your shoulders forward or hunch them up by your ears. Your posture should be relaxed and confident. Use your shoulders to slightly lift your chest up, making room for your lungs to take in more air. Think of Superman posing triumphantly.  Don't force this posture unnaturally. Simply focus on keeping your shoulders as far back as possible while still feeling comfortable. Lay on your back on the floor to let gravity do the work for you if you find yourself tensing up when trying to maintain the correct posture. Your chin should be parallel to the floor. This is essential for keeping the airway in your throat open – looking up or down will constrict your vocal chords and limit your singing ability. Do not bend forward or backward from the waist. Instead, stand up straight so that your shoulders are above your ankles and your back is relaxed. Your feet should be 6–7 inches (15.2–17.8 cm) apart, with one foot slightly in front of the other. This will keep your weight slightly forward as you sing. Keep your knees and elbows loose and slightly bent so that you are not standing rigidly in place. This helps more than just your posture – a relaxed, loose body helps you generate air and control your voice while you sing. If you feel tense, sway gently. Or, flop forward as you inhale, then straighten up to reset your posture. The best way to see your mistakes is in the mirror. Or, you can record yourself singing and watch the video to analyze your posture. Watch yourself from the side and from the front, fixing any mistakes as you see them. You can also practice against a wall—simply stand against it in bare feet, focusing on making your head, shoulders, butt, and heel touch the wall. Remember:  Shoulders back. Chin level with the floor. Chest out. Stomach flat. Joints relaxed.
Summary: Keep your shoulders back and down. Hold your head level. Straighten your abdomen. Stand with your feet slightly apart, one in front of the other. Relax your joints. Practice good posture in the mirror.

Problem: Article: Sit in a chair that is a comfortable height for the height of the table. Arrange the machine so that the needle end is on your left and the body of the machine is on the right. You will be checking a couple of things first and getting to know the machine a bit, so don't plug it in just yet. Many sewing machines have a built-in light, which is often a good way to tell whether there is power to the machine. The power switch will usually be on the right side or back of the machine, if there is one. Some machines don't have a separate switch, in which case they're turned on as soon as they're plugged in. Plug the pedal into the machine, too. Place the pedal in a comfortable spot under your feet.
Summary:
Place the machine on a sturdy table, desk, counter, or sewing cabinet in front of you. Plug the machine in and turn it on.
