Do you chip with the “elephant trunk” motion—stiff arms and no wrist hinge? Cindy Miller explains why it leads to chunks and thin, topped chips. Try one small wrist tweak and start hitting your chips clean every time.

What is the ball position when using your wrists. Thanks. SM
Great advice
A promise is a promise- I’m holding you to it!
This is the soundest chip advice ever given. Why do so many PGA club and muni pros teach the elephant trunk? The wrist enables effortless contact. The mechanics are zen-like.
Being an elephant chipper (now former!!), I also had 75% of my weight on the front foot. With this small wrist tweak technique, is my weight forward or distributed evenly?
Thank you!
thank you
Thank you so much. I have wanted to chip as you suggest, like your 'hubby', but I was also told that was not correct. Yet when I tried your method, it turned out better than the 'elephant trunk chip'. I'm going to continue with your method.
Appreciate all of your tips!
You still need to have the hands leading the club head at contact, correct?
Great tip! Thank you
