Chip a nestled lie by striking the ball first
When the ball is nestled down into an indentation, alter the basic chip so you use the front part of the club to strike the ball first with no ground interaction behind it. Move the ball from just ahead of center back to the back of your stance, then move the shaft forward so it points at your lead armpit, which puts the front edge of the club on the ground.
