Chip with your putting stroke

BRINGING a putting-stroke feel into your chipping stroke extends to your wrist action. We need the wrists to be quiet for both shots, but that doesn’t mean you need to lock out your wrists as you chip. Locked or “dead” wrists simply add tension and rob your action of any feel, flow and rhythm.

Instead feel that, as you chip, you are simply maintaining the left-wrist angle you set at address. This “simple-wristed” approach keeps the wrists muted while allowing the action to flow.
