Palm It

Problem

You feel that you have the proper setup and swing mechanics to chip the ball. Yet, you are having difficulties chipping but cannot pinpoint the error.

Cure

Try altering your grip a little to help keep your wrist firm throughout your chips.

Therapy

If most of the strength in your grip comes from your fingers squeezing on the grip as it does with your longer clubs, it will allow you to move your wrists easily. However, if you place more of your grip in your palms as you do while putting, it will help restrict your wrist movement. So, try to move the grip of the club more towards the palms of your hands to help keep your wrists flat while chipping.
