Chipping was the hardest shot for me to learn playing on FL courses. Up north I was used to having a cushion of grass under the ball so I could hit down on it without worrying about chunking it everytime. Here, with so little cushion you have to sweep the ball more.
My best chips are when I keep my left arm straight and, most importantly, do not break my wrists.
Everyone is different.
My wrists are not as strong as most others. I have to rely on body turn and arms. Different strokes for different folks.
