Worm burners, Matchbox Cars, and Darth Bladers!
Pitch shots that zip across green snail high and at a bottle rockets pace are the result of flipped club faces. In an effort to elevate short game shots armatures will turn the leading edge skyward at impact, in doing so they stop the grip end from moving and decrease the chances of the ball finishing anywhere near the hole. Chipping encourages the handle of the club to athletically continue past the ball before contact is made resulting in a descending blow that pinches the ball between the turf and face of the club - pro contact. Achieving pro contact in chip shots will teach the student the feel necessary to transfer pro contact to the rest of their bag.
A golfer who adopts a chipping short game methodology will find that in time they are creating more spin then ever before, once this sensation is observed the golfer can then meld pitch shots to their short game arsenal.
So, in time the art of spin control is best learned by learning how to play without spin around the green.
