I cannot engage the bounce if use much lag/shaft lean with chipping.

It’s a general tip but more for too much early release, beginner to intermediate handicaps… so yes do this too much and cld also pose a problem.

@Debbie D.

Thank you. For me anyway, the bounce is the most reliable sweep contact for a low spin, running chip, almost a mini-draw without any release. A vertical/no lag shaft to expose bounce, pre-set mini-closed face using 1 degree I>O rotation arc/zero hands, powered by connected chest rotation@spine angle, and minute passive hip rotation. I use even less lag here than for putting, but for both practice with a comb inserted in my watch band to prevent accidental wrist extension on impact. Bounce/ground contact brushes both sides of impact, not precise but required to avoid leading edge. Air time, etc. is determined by the face loft.
Sounds complicated, but familiarity takes care of that?

@David F.

Sorry, I forgot to add that a slightly reversed pivot spine angle, lhs down shape, opposite to all other shots, does seem to help with my above-described chip process.
Thanks.
