Interesting topic. I have three clubs that i use around the green: a 54, 58, and 64. I try to hit them with the same motion and let the club do the work. For the sake of this discussion lets pretend we are on a level green that is raised up 4 feet. my standard club is the 58*. I try to use this most of the time because i can hit it within 10 feet of the pin and it will release close with a solidly struck shot. the 54* is used when lets say the pin is back and i mis-club and have to pitch from the front edge of the green. and finally the 64* is used when i short side myself and miss the green close the flag. i can hit the ball in the air and the ball releases a foot or 2. its a point and shoot club.
My struggles lately have been when im chipping across some break to a pin that is up on a shelf with a landing area the size of a rug. im hesitant to fly the ball close to the pin because if i come up short then i have a major uphill 20-30 foot putt and if i go long then im off the green and chipping back up. Now obviously i can chip left or right of the pin but when you chip it 15 feet to either side of the hole it defeats the purpose of leaving yourself a chance to make par.
