matt,
my own philosophy has always been to chip with a sw, pw, or 9 iron. i vary the position depending on how much roll i want. i agree with not having to practice with too many clubs.

I pretty much agree. But in addition to lag pressure, it IMO is very important to control the (amount of) lag itself - and the more so the more lofted the club is. Hitting soft landing 10 - 30 yarders with a 60* can produce very reliable carry distances and roll distances. On my home course - which doesn't have PGA sized greens. I use PW until I need more loft. Then I move to GW, SW and eventually LW. On large green on a links course - and a lot of roll between me and the hole I may be down to a 6 iron - and out of my comfort zone I must admit.

The more I play, the more I buy into the fact that the above is the attitude I must have to produce consistency and precision. Conditions of greens and surroundings can change greatly, and I must have the flexibility to adapt. For example, damp, and therefore slower greens might present the opportunity to roll the ball with less loft to a tucked hole location (where you wouldn't want to take a chance of "flying" the ball over the hole).
Since learning lag and aiming point, I chip most of the time with a lob wedge, unless I need a significant amount of run. My chipping has never been better. I agree that with the proper technique, you can chip better with one club. If you are using a chip-putt, then it makes sense to vary the club selection.

Add some thrust knowledge and control distance with every club.
