Chip with a hybrid using a putting stroke

From just off the green, a lofted hybrid is a reliable bump-and-run option. Choke down to the bottom of the grip so the handle sits up, play the ball a little further back, and make a putting stroke without getting wristy. The hybrid's loft makes the ball skip, which helps it climb a slope.
