I watched a video where I think Dave Pelz advocated lifting the heel of the club on chips. I did some research looking at a lot of videos and reading a lot of tips on chipping and not one person mentioned this aspect. Seems to make a lot of sense although I always forget about it. Why don't instructors mention it?
