Hit a high-spin chip off the trail foot

The speaker's go-to chip: set up like a chip with the ball off the inside of your trail foot, the handle pressed to the middle or outside of your lead leg, and about 80% of your weight on your lead side, slightly pre-closed. From there, let the face twist open a little and thump the trailing edge, which he says gives a basic little chip that has a lot of spin.
