In this short instructional video, Jimmy Tropicana demonstrates how to stop chunking and blading chip shots around the green. He advocates for the 'Swing the V' technique, which uses a putting-like motion and a stable arm structure to improve consistency and contact.
Avoid taking excessively large swings with high-lofted wedges for short chips to prevent deceleration.
Form a stable 'V' shape with your arms at setup and maintain it throughout the stroke.
Treat the chipping motion like a long putting stroke rather than a full swing.
Focus on a clean 'tap' of the ball instead of trying to lift or scoop it.
