Here are another series of drills and tips for those of you who are having trouble with chipping. Zachary Allen wrote an article in Golf Tips Magazine entitled "Chip Control" that shares some very useful information. I have always been aware of the usual chip shot tips like "placing the ball back in the stance, leaning the shaft and your weight forward, keeping your backswing shorter and accelerate through the shot" and so on. But some of these drills and tips like "looking at the target for the entire swing" instead of the ball, "hold[ing] the club in your right hand, place[ing] the ball in the middle of your stance, open[ing] the face and keep[ing] the shaft vertical" for hitting higher loft shots, keep[ing] [the right] elbow relatively stiff [to] limit the length of my backswing" I had not been familiar with. Take a look at his article Chip Control it could be quite useful in identifying some issues that his drills might rectify.
