here is my chipping and pitching technique and i don't vary the thrust for yardage i just vary the club. Sometimes for a 40 pitch i might use the motion i descirbe below with an 8 iron depending on how i want the ball to "flight."

Setup with the ball towards the middle of your stance or even a little back. Setup your impact alignments and start from this position.

I use almost almost a pull swing but i use vertical hinging so the ball still goes straight.

I use no lower body movement and simply pick the club straight back (almost like a putting motion) and then use right arm thrust and hit the BACK of the ball but again since i use a vertical hinge with no roll the ball goes straight.

For a better description see my post in this section and how i describe my punch shot technique.....for me this is nothing but a complete right arm motion with a CONSCIOUS thrust through impact.
