Depends on grass in front of me.
On a very tightly mown links I would probably putt it.
If it was a "fluffier" parkland I would bump and run an iron.

My own 'chipping style' is a textbook example of the perfect oxymoron.
It's another putter for me all day long from 5 feet but if there's something in the way I try an 8-iron bump and run with my eyes closed tight. If flying a bunker then I usually try a 60 degree lob wedge whilst gripping the living daylights out of the club, shaking, sweating and sobbing uncontrollably.
This exact scenario has been my fatal weakness for years but I've never done anything silly and gone and booked a lesson, you see I just know that some day I'll find the secret.

Straight forward to the hole and chip and run all day. Anything like a mound or bunker to fly and it's lie dependant

Depends entirely on the greens make-up......Its possible I would put if the fringe is short and if the green is flattish. If the green is more difficult it could be anything between my PW (Chip and run) my GW (most likely - looking to fly it 3/4 of the way) or SW (54) - looking to hit a low spinning chip, carrying most of the way, biting and running out a little.........I play various types of chips, with LW, SW and GW and what club and type of shot is entirely dictated by what is between me and the pin. Sadly no amount of describing can take into account all what lies in front of you in real life.

SW. hold the face open a little, nice shallow strike into the ball. Throw the ball 1/2 way, smidgen of check before rolling out hole side. 3hcp

Linear method???
Does that advocate loft or getting it running ??
Re the OP. 20yrds. Gap wedge usually. The issue l have is strike dependant. Strike to well and it may check up too early. I’m trying to use more of a pw/9 iron with mixed results.

Linear. The chipping method tends to give a running style so the ball will release. If necessary I can pitch it further and let it roll out

Mid iron, landing it on a flat spot. 4
During winter, chip and run all day.
During the summer, it would depend on when it arises. Chip and run always the safest option, but loft is fun.

roll out, I would say is what I struggle with. Does it advocate taking more club. Eg the shot in question. 9/8 iron 1/3 flight, 2/3 roll?
No real difference in flight/roll to a standard chipping method, just a way I find more comfy with and which with the bounce coming into effect feels as though I have more margin for error

Whenever I see anything to do with linear chipping, I always think it looks like the player is hooding the clubface.
Is that correct?

No, but aspects of the set up can differ with certain shots.

Looks like they aim right & hit left!?!
What is actually happening if I’m seeing that?

Without looking at the video, from what i can remember of garys method from the session i went too the clubface is neutral to the target.
He doesnt like you standing open for a few reasons and would rather your stance be closed than open, so it can appear hooded if you are thinking stance line as opposed to target.

56* wedge to half way or just beyond, slightly back from centre in my stance, just rock the shoulders.
