Jimmy Tropicana shares his essential advice for master chipping, emphasizing that short-game consistency is the key to saving par. He demonstrates a simple three-step method: maintaining a 'V' shape with the arms and finishing with a 'sheathe the sword' rotation to ensure a clean strike.
Form a 'V' with your arms at setup and maintain that structure throughout the chipping motion.
The 'sheathe the sword' follow-through is the most important part because it guarantees full body rotation.
Avoid staying 'stuck' on your back side; rotation is key to preventing chunked or thinned chips.
Mastering short chips allows you to recover from poor tee or approach shots and still save par.
