That's some long range basic motion....63 yards with 2 feet back to 2 feet forward

In my defense, I am chipping on the frozen tundra, actually astroturf, so I do get alot of roll. (In summer, on a course, maybe I was hitting 50 yard shots.) My goal in doing all of the chips was primarily to perfect my overall swing. (The improvement in my ability to chip was only a valuable by product of my journey). When I hit the acqured motion shots using about the same force, they were landing 65 yards or so in the air, and then begining to roll down the hill. Couldn't see where they ended up.

I only carry the sand wedge to the range. During my journey, I have allowed myself a few full motion shots perhaps as a reward for a nice run of chips. Since I began working on this, I do think my overall distance has increased nicely. Because I needed them to get the results I desired, I finally have given myself the benefit of alot of valuable ingredients that make the golfing machine work so well.
