Descending blow, clean lie, urethane ball, and good technique all play a part.

I know it looks cool, but you will see just as many guys on tour hitting chip shots without much wrist cock and rolling the ball out because the ball is more predictable on the ground. When you introduce a lot of spin it can easily cause the ball to go left or right instead of straight.

Ditto. I play a course with really small greens, so I have to hit a lot of high shots, with a lot of spin if I want to place the ball. It is not a preferred shot. I would much rather chip the ball and let it run most of the distance. Even when I hit the high shot well, the spin will kick it left or right about 3 feet, and almost never straight.
