Coach told me I had to turn round more rather move towards the target. I am a r/h - I have been working on bringing the r shoulder through and turning after impact. The butt of the club is pointing at my body. Does this make any sense?
It works and I have a higher ball flight.

I don't know about a chip for which I have very little body movement. I treat it more like a putting stroke. However a slide in a pitch shot is a killer. The first move forward should be a turn. You want to get your belly all the way around and facing the target in the forward swing. You want to pull your arms forward by turning your body rather than dropping your arms and letting the body follow. You should have more weight on your front foot than back at set up so you don't have to shift your weight in the forward swing. It is too short of a swing to shift your weight.
