Golf tip: All in the wrists
"To hit pitch and chip shots you must learn to hinge your wrists correctly. The days of stiff arms and wrists on short shots are over. What is 'hinge?' Put your hands together, palms facing, and point your thumbs up. Now point your thumbs toward yourself. You have just hinged your wrists.
"To use this hinge on short shots, swing the club low and around while allowing your wrists to hinge. This will reduce shoulder turn and allow the club to swing through the ball more aggressively without hitting the ball far."
- Jeffrey A. Cowell, PGA head professional, The Woodmere Club
