I think the post was great enough to merit a reconstruction. Hope no one minds this rip from page 382 of said document. Would be good if the pics could be hosted on LBG...

We went out and chipped balls, single handed at first, then with
both for quite a while and it was well worth it. All of us heard
the loud compression on the ball - clack, clack, clack. It made a
few of us check our clubface a few times thinking we hit a
stone. We started each day, on our own with this drill. It not
only ingrained keeping the right wrist bent into impact, it
taught us to compress the ball like a pro. Give it a try
looks something like this:

Much better then Norman's secret.

Great photos, Hans. Thanks!
When using this Grip, first do a few short chips using the Right Hand
only. The idea is to keep your Right Wrist Bent throught the Stroke. It
must not Flatten! This Grip will add great structure to the Wrist
alignment and will really help you do that. Try it and see! You'll have
to swing your entire Right Hand and Club through Impact -- not just
the Clubhead -- for the Wrist to remain in its Bent condition. If you
Quit -- slow or stop the Hands -- the Left Wrist will Bend and the Right
Wrist will Flatten. Not good.
Once you've got this Feel, add your Left Hand. Feel that Pressure
against the tip of the Right Foregfinger -- our substitute #3 Pressure
Point? And Feel the Cup of your Right Hand welded against the the
Left Thumb -- the #1 Pressure Point? Feel that Bent, Frozen and
Motionless Right Wrist? Delicious, isn't it? You're learning to take both
Hands and the entire Golf Club through Impact. No more Flipping the
Clubhead in ahead of the Hands. This is Real Golf, and the Ball will be
the first to tell you.
And everybody else, too!
