YJ - I actually started playing with pitches, chips, etc. I was too erratic around the green. I was reading here where someone said they use nothing but the Satin64 around the green full shot, and I tried it. I find I can control the end point a lot better with that, and it greatly reduces the reads on the green. It's played more like a super pitch. On the uphills I can hit it right at the pin with backspin or no spin and it will usually stick right by the hole, or if I hit it backspin on downhill pins, it rolls softer than a pitch or chip at the cup. I've chipped in from the rough at the front of BPB #15 by hitting it with backspin 5 yards past the cup and rolling it back down that hill.
I guess it's the same as with putting, whatever works best for you. I found the length of follow up putts I was attempting when scrambling around the green went down considerably, which helped my putting stats.
As far as the inconsistency of distance, it's not really. Yes, the clubs don't fly the % of listed length when you squelch down, but they do fly the same consistent length in the same conditions hit with the same strength. The only challenge was in learning what distances I'd get from what %. Right now, I feel like anywhere within 40-50 yards (depending on lie), I can hit it stiff with the 64.
