PGA coach Dan Grieve shares a highly effective drill to eliminate excessive wrist action in the short game. By tucking the elbows and moving the upper body and legs in unison, golfers can develop a more 'connected' and consistent chipping motion.
Excessive wrist action ('wristiness') is a common cause of inconsistency in chipping.
Tucking the elbows against the ribs eliminates 'daylight' and ensures the arms stay connected to the torso.
The power and direction of a short-game shot should come from the legs and upper body rotation, not flicking the hands.
Practicing without a club can help isolate the correct physical sensations of a stable pivot.
