Like the average golfer I often look at videos to seek help and improve my game. Every now and then I come across a tip or video which provides a mental or physical cue so clear, that it is very easy to identify with it. Some time ago, I had posted a video to fix the "coming over the top" problem with a similar cue.
A few days ago I came across a video made by the short game magician Phil Mickelson. Phil is big on the "hinge and hold" technique for chips and short pitch shots. This video provides a physical cue that is very easy to understand.
One can immediately see a big difference in how a chip shot "looks" when played by a very good player versus when it is played by a mid to high handicap club golfer. I think the key to this difference is the "hinge and hold".
