If you like to strike your chips well it's really important you get all your components of the swing all happening together. One of the biggest issues with people chipping badly is when you try and scoop the ball or help it in the air. Inevitably for a right handed golfer this means the right hand is flicking lifting trying to help it or add a loft to the club. One little tip I want to show you is if I set up here with two clubs notice I'll put the shafts parallel I've lent them forwards. So now I've got a little kink in my trail wrist. What I'm going to do is practice swinging these two clubs together keeping them parallel that's retaining this angle in my wrist, and what that's doing is stopping me if I went like this you can see that this hand is dominating and passing my lead hand. So I'm trying to get both hands and our arms working together as a unit.
Notice how this angle stays the same I'm just carrying it with my pivot or my turn and that stopping me trying to scoop and bottoming out too early. So two clubs practice swing in them in harmony keeping them parallel this is really going to give you a feel of the correct chipping motion, and what they are and body are doing in the stroke when we felt that then. We can practice it with one club notice the angle in my wrist keeping it firm here. My body is just helping me pivot so I'm getting away from this desire to try to lift the ball and scoop it but I can keep this angle here that's going to allow me to really squeeze that golf ball keep the angles in tact that's really going to help you trap the ball with a nice descending blow you get a really good contact on it and a lot of control.
