"Use the Bounce of the club" means what in the shortgame???? (excludes bunker shots)

Bad chipping is a sign that there is something wrong with your full swing. A chip is a small full swing- Impact is Impact in both cases- the Geometry is the same. Solve your chipping problems by improving your Stroke with Basic and Acquired Motions.

Learn where the right arm has to live at impact, even against its will.

I do try but am still learning. The margin for error in chip shot is very frustrating when I get pretty much get to the green, or edge of, in regulation then mess up a little chip. For that matter so is putting. I am in my 3rd year from starting golf and have a lot to ingrain, and still make a lot of errors.
Thanks, I will check out Lynns videos again for the basic and acquired motions.

Learn how to execute a chip, pitch, and aquired motion with a flat left wrist and maintaining lag pressure. Once you have become comfortable executing these motions and have a good feel for that pressure. Then you can start experimenting with using the sole of the club or bounce with a slightly open face and the feel of sliding the club under the ball. So you are using less leading edge and much less forward lean on the shaft. This technique gives you a lot more versatility around the green, than just standard tgm chip motion.But it is important that one can execute a proper motion with 3 imperatives first. Does not work as well with someone who only knows how to throw the clubhead through impact. It is just a matter of controlling the amount of forward lean you have on the shaft, not every shot requires max compression.

I just watched Chris Riley hit shots all around our practice green, hes is a perfect example of someone who knows how to hit a wide variety of shots around the green constantly adjusting is alignments. He does it subconciously through experience. But I can tell you he knows how to use the bounce of the club. Excellent short game!
