You wish to stop the ball quickly, and this must be done by means of fascinated to notice spin. I was how Bobby Jones plays chip shots. There seems to be no movement of the hands at all, certainly no move- ment of the body. There is just a flick with the head of the club.
A mistake to avoid is crouching over the ball.
The player who leans on the club cannot get the free wrist movement that is so essential. He will always be apt to bring his body into the shot. There is very little pivot, and the stance should be open.
