Use the bounce to release out of nestled Bermuda

When a greenside chip nestles down into Bermuda grass, the instructor says the key is to use the bounce rather than the leading edge: keep the attack shallow, let the clubhead pass your hands and release fully with the loft on so the sole (not the leading edge) works through the sticky grass. He calls it a 'release two'.
