Chip cross-handed to stop the trail wrist flipping

For cross-handed chipping, the co-host finds it easier to maintain the wrist angle because his wrist naturally does not want to flip through the shot. He notes it takes a little practice and there is still a little scoop, but he feels his whole body squares the face up rather than him having to work to do it.

Why this context matters

Cross-handed here means the lead hand low on the grip for chipping.
