Just got off the putting/chipping green. Thanks to all and to GPStyles for the visual. That action, with and 8 or 9 iron is soft and controllable now. I did zero out #3, but kept my normal grip. Thanks again to all, what a great place.

de nada
The thanks should be directed to Chuck really!
Have to admit that at first I didn't think it would work but jeez it is great.

I try to teach my players to land the ball on the green ASAP etc. The general tendency is that they make a motion that is a good deal longer than basic motion resulting in a little heavier compression...leading to a "scooter" So my recommendation is to make sure it is indeed a basic motion.
For those with longer than needed motions, I often get them to make a putt from the same place, then ask them 'how far did you have to move the putter to get the ball to go that far?" Now you have their attention to shorten up that chipping stroke with solid basic motion.
