Just to add onto these drills as well, try slowing it down a bit. If I recall correctly (and read your name 
) you're and off spinner, and the most common problem with offies is bowling too fast. Not sure if you do, but at club level slowing it down is never really a bad thing.
When you bowl too fast without the accuracy brought about through practice and experience as you roll your fingers over the ball you are more likely to drag it down. Intentionally slow it up and you can find it easier to pitch the ball fuller if you are struggling to do it (I was for quite a while, and still am). Also increases your flight and allows you to get your hand over the ball more for more top spinning dip.
