Want to be a better chipper? A new philosophy

[okie]

I may not be imagining your scenario accurately, but I can share an approach that has been helpful to me when dealing with multiple tiers. I have found it helpful to pick a spot at the foot of the incline, seldom if ever pitching it into the bank. Essentially to get the ball rolling up the slope and guaranteeing a fairly predictable bounce. If the gradient is severe go to a lower hotter shot.
