Master Golf Chips: Try This Cross-Handed Grip! #shorts

Shawn Clement from Wisdom in Golf demonstrates how adopting a cross-handed grip eliminates unwanted wrist breakdown on chip shots. Popularized on tour by Matt Fitzpatrick, this lead-hand low positioning locks the wrist to produce repeatable, crisp contact around the greens.

• Switch to a cross-handed (left-hand low for righties) grip to eliminate wrist flipping on chips.
• Align the lead palm securely against the handle to keep the wrist anatomically stable through impact.
• Use a rocking shoulder motion similar to a putting stroke for smooth distance control.
• This technique prevents common short game mistakes like fatting or blading chip shots.
