| Distance control is key to a chip shot, and one thing I have found that helps, is to stand next to my ball, and imagine throwing it underhand to the spot i want it to land, and then use the same feel when i hit my chip.
I also practice the ladder drill about 30 min a day (that's all this old back can handle).
I take 5 or 6 clubs, and lay them out about 1 yard apart. Then I go to about 10 yards from the 1st club, and chip balls to each gap between clubs, starting with the closest. I have to put a ball in each gap, in order, one after the other. If I miss, I have to start over. This gives good distance control, and as I get to the last couple of gaps, added pressure to make the shot (similates the pressure on the course)
