3 things you can take away from Jordan:
1) how close his feet are together when chipping – this is something better players do and higher handicaps don't
2) how square the clubface is in the sand – again, you don't have to stand wide open, with a massively open face & then swing way left
3) holds a massively weak lefthand grip yet plays a very soft draw with his irons
I can go into a huge dissertation about (3) but it is best seen by grabbing a club with your left hand and seeing it with your own eyes. With just your left/top hand on the club, grip the club with a weak to extremely weak grip – less than zero knuckles – such that the bones in your forearm (radius is the top bone in your forearm and the Ulna is the bottom bone) are positioned such that the top Radius bone is slightly closer to the target than the bottom Ulna bone in rotation). Once you have this grip, lift the clubface slightly off the ground and then slightly bow your left leading wrist towards the target – try only to do this and nothing else. Now, look what happens to the face of the club – assuming you have correctly positioned your Radius Bone slightly closer to the target than your lower Ulna bone – the face will slightly hood/close to the target line – this is what Jordan does on his downswing – he bows his left wrist slightly shutting the face and it also de-lofts. If you repeat the exact same exercise, but with a very strong grip, with the top Radius Bone rotated more away from the target than the lower Ulna bone, and then bow your wrist, you will see that the face opens significantly right of the target – it will also be de-lofted – making squaring the face to the target more work and likely less repeatable. Jordan's weaker left wrist has been used by some of the greatest ball-strikers in history (Hogan, Nelson, Trevino) and many others, as it requires little to no 'rotation/roll' through impact and it only requires the slightest of bowing to create a very stable repeatable face through the ball.
I wouldn't necessarily suggest that everyone hit their chips shots with as square a face as Jordon does, this is a bit more old-school with less bounce being used, but his feet being glued together is absolute money. This is a guy who couldn't hit a fairway for 5 years, but keep his PGA card because he was top 5 on the planet 50 yards and in.
Great video
