How-To "Backspin on chips"

Hey guys -

Please donīt explain why I donīt want backspin - I do.

I want to chip up on the green from 10-15 meters out, check, and stop. In other words, I want chip firmer shots to the green from further out, and use backspin to control my distance. Here in Norway we have a often get wet ground around the greens, so I want to hit the green, not try to run the chip onto the green (may stick, not bounce).

Iīll use Pro-V1īs, have the idea (pinching, wrist action for club-head speed).

But if I use my 60 degree, it tends to fly high, and if I use my P-wedge, it seems hard to hit it short enough.

How do you get greater clubhead speed without hitting over the green? I keep hearing "slice" or "cut" - maybe I just need some hours of practice to make it happen. For me, clubhead speed usually means "further from the hole on the other side of the green", or "popping the ball up into the air".

Hints from people who have learned?

(Please do not explain why I donīt want to do this....)
