I had similar chipping issues, thin, fat, occasionally correct strikes. My lesson a few months ago identified that I was moving lower body all over the place when chipping. The professional gave simple advice , legs still , chip with the arms. Made all difference to me.The way I read your post was that it's the contact with the ball that's causing the problems, not so much where it goes.
If that's the case, (correct me if I'm wrong) the clubhead isn't returning to the ball consistently.
That would suggest to me there is too much sideways body movement.
Do you feel you sway at all?
