Set up for a bump-and-run chip

For the bump-and-run setup, the speaker chokes down on a nine iron with soft grip pressure so the strike is not too firm. She uses a super narrow stance with about five to 10% extra pressure in the front foot and keeps it there through the backswing for consistent contact, with the whole alignment slightly open to the target. She prefers the ball in the middle of the stance (it can move back up to a whole ball), because middle makes her shots more consistent.
