If you want to save strokes use your putting stroke for chipping when you are around the green. This method will prove far more reliable as it is easier to learn and easier to repeat.
It is perfect for hitting the bump and run shot. Even better, once you dial it in you will know how far the ball travels with each club using the same stroke.
If you want to lower your scores then use your head when you are around the green and hit the shot with the best chance of success. Putt your chips!
