Brandel Chamblee on hitting chip-and-run shots with a 3-iron
In this video golf lesson, Brandel Chamblee demonstrates how to execute a successful chip-and-run shot with a 3-iron.

Spreading out the hands on the grip of the club allows for this extra wrist movement while keeping the hands relaxed. According to Chamblee, keeping the hands spread on the golf club is the most important factor in getting the desired results from this shot.
