What’s the one chipping trick that has stuck with you?

For me it was forward shaft lean throughout the stroke. My chipping still needs improvement though

Open stance, back foot position hit to a spot not the hole. I make some of the ugliest pars in the world.

Always putt if I can.

Chip if I can’t.

Pitch if I have to.

This is my main thought when chipping.

Also, learn to hit a bump and run with a PW OR 9 is very helpful. It’s a great shot to have when you have more green to work with

Close to the ball, get shaft somewhat vertical toe down. Keep it simple

I watched the Phil Mickelson YouTube video's and it has helped me tremendously. Weight forward, hands forward, low or high, low chip ball on back foot, high chip ball is on front foot. If you need spin, basically the same thing except you open you club face, align it to the target, open your stance to the left (right handed) or right (left handed) and complete the swing on the path of your stance.

#1 rule chipping and pitching is the chest has to turn to the target with quiet hands.

The Kevin Kisner video with Frankie and Barstool Sports changed my outlook on that. Look that one up if you are struggling.

I suck at pitching. I can’t get it high for whatever reason

The Kiz video. That's it. It will fix your chipping.

Similar to what I go with on chipping.

"Flop starts with an 'F' and so does Front Foot."

Seems like I generally end up on the wrong side of the green, faced with either getting over a trap or two, facing a green sloping away, or dealing with a limited landing area.
