Jimmy Tropicana demonstrates how to chip over green-side hazards with confidence and proper rotation. By creating an arm V and completing the finish with a 'sheathe the sword' motion, golfers prevent bladed or chunked shots caused by deceleration.
Ignore intimidating hazards like bunkers and focus solely on your landing zone past the hazard.
Maintain an arm V-shape through the backswing and downswing to preserve structure.
Finish the chip shot by 'sheathing the sword' across your torso to guarantee full body rotation.
Deceleration and lack of commitment are the primary causes of bladed or chunked chip shots.
