Article: Much of a good chip in golf revolves around proper stance and positioning. You should aim your body slightly ahead of the ball, with your sternum drawing a parallel line with the location of the ball. The sternum refers to the middle of one's chest. Keep your arms back and your chest up throughout the course of your swing. Arching your chest will result in a skewed chip because it will change direction of the club. If you're having any difficulty with achieving a proper stance, get someone else to watch you. Your feet should be planted firmly on the ground while you execute a chip. There should be a space between your feet roughly equivalent to one of your feet. Your feet should be parallel with one another, both aimed directly forward. A proper swing will disperse the exertion throughout your upper body, rather than packing the strain into one area. Letting your hip on the other side of the club move around will take some of the stress off your wrists.

What is a summary?
Align the ball with your sternum. Keep your chest up. Place your feet closely together. Open up your hip.
