Blends in perfectly with the Miuras
I've got the Ping ChipR and I'm telling you, it's done absolute wonders for my score. I struggle with GIR, so having a chipper really helps, especially if you're struggling with consistency chip shots. If you're a mid to high handicapper, put your ego to one side and try it out
That Ping looks like a winner. I got a Cleveland and no way in hell is a chipper not in my bag.
It is the club that should be in Rick Shiels bag.
I was just going to comment that he should send this to Rick.
I've genuinely wondered why he hasn't atleast tried it in the bag for a bit just to see. Could easily take his 2 iron out. Can't even really remember the last time I've seen him use it in any of his break 75 videos
😂🤣😭
We probably all should...
@@bluestangGT2001 he no longer carry a 2 iron, he made a video about it
Awesome video. Your channel rocks. Great camera and editing! We do reviews on this club and it creates so much spin! I am able to use for every shot under 90 yards. Takes a little getting use to and then it becomes normal.
I got a chipper and on my first round with it I shaved 5 strokes off my normal score, yes you might get some funny looks but if it’s lowering your score who cares 😁.
Got a Cleveland smartsole 4 C wedge at the beginning of the summer, after seeing the Mark Crossfield review. I had reservations as I had a Cleveland Niblick chipper several years ago and never really got on with it so I gave it to my dad. I really gave the Crossy wedge a a fair shake and learned that like any club you still have to practice with it. It does make runner shots around the green very easy to execute but again you still need to practice to get consistent distance control. Through practice with the chipper I learned that it can be used in so many more ways than just those putting stroke style shots around the green. It's become my go to club from 90 yards in. Since the beginning of the summer when I was struggling to stay in the low 90s I'm now consistently flirting with breaking 80. Now this isn't all down to the chipper, as every facet of my game has improved this summer from tee to green. I will say that my play with the chipper is the most reliable part of my game.
I replsced my niblick with the smartsole C. Loved my old one but love my C even more. I feel I save strokes every round. Glad my friends are to proud to rock a chipper.
absolutely. when dialed in the distance a lil by playing it more and more this cleveland chipper is a great helper. Love mine!
John and Ashley at Stacked Golf love it
My first thought when I saw this pop up.
Nice to see the "cave bear" out of the cave and on the course! Well done, great video! I used to have a 2-sided chipper, I miss it.
I have one of these in 60 degrees and absolutely love it I use it differently than the manufactures want but I have a crazy great touch around the greens rolling up to the pin almost every time , thanks .
I've got a 50 G for 60-110yrd half to full shots, a 60/6 for situations like yours at the end of the video where I got to get the ball up quickly, and a 49deg chipper for the vast majority of my around the green situations. It has simplified my process and forced me to stop teetering on flop or bump n run when deciding on how I'll attack the lie.
Editing continues to be top notch! And of course you are pure entertainment!
Thanks mate 🙏
That was fun! Impromptu outer bounds! Good job Tommy. 👏
I love my cleveland smartsole 4 chipper. Doesn't matter which chipper you bag but most of us would benefit from one
Great video Al.Very informative.Love golf club tests,You do many but mores the better!Top Notch
Cleveland makes a chipper called the niblick and my set at the time had a pitching wedge or A wedge that was 49° which my Niblick was as well. Exact same set up in length just a different weight.
Alex i have the same context of club but it is double faced, as in you can hit it right or left handed.....mine is OLD but i think that InTech reintroduced it several years ago under the name Approach Chipper i believe.....i use it ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!!!!
Al needs to try the 55 degree square strike. It's just as easy as rhe 45 but with more loft.
Wouldn't a better comparison be with a pw or 9 iron? Get lofts more similar?
Quite expected to see Al, Bryson one from the tee box. Settle for that 150 attempt though. 👍🏼
I tried an old second hand chipper. It was not all that easy to use. Then I tried a Wilson Harmonized style ( look like the square strike) with more of a 8 iron loft ( 36 degree?) and it was easier to hit off tight lies, but i found distance control more difficult. I think the PW loft of the square strike would be easier to control run out maybe? Any way the chipper is now in my beginner wife's bag, but I sneak it into my bag for sand scrape green courses.
I love my chipper. Clevrland smartsole C
Did you put it in your bag? I had a chipper in the 90's. If you struggle with distance on chipping it is a great option. I see a lot of people using a hybrid these days to achieve the same.
I got a two pack off Amazon for $90, got the 45 & 55 degree for my son to help him approach and around the green. I started using them and damn I got to say they work really good. I use the 45 similar to a pitching wedge or to bump and run a bit further out from 100 yards in, and the 55 all around the green mainly short yardage. Luckily I can hit my wedges also but when I don’t feel confident I steal this club just in case! 😆
A much more efficient chipping tool, than a wedge!
I always liked the idea of a chipper. The Ping Chipr looks great. But I have one strange issue. I hit right handed, and putt left-handed. Its an eye dominance/alignment issue that putting lefty fixed... im much better for the change (going on 11 years now) but I do struggle with stuff like mid Iron chipping or a belly wedge cause i just dont have that movement right-handed. I either get too strong with a mid iron or not delicate enough with a belly wedge. Really sucks but oh well
Chip R putt L?? Golf is a unique sport.
It comes in a 55 and a 60 as well. I have the 55 and I use a true 58* wedge for sand and flops. But the square strike is a money maker. It’s a go to club for sure. Almost any thing 50 yards and in that isn’t a manipulated hit gets the square strike.
You clearly hit it closer with the square strike too, why wouldn't a lower handicapper use it to get even lower? ....
Time for a Toe 2 Toe: Square Strike Vs Ping Chippr
There is a video, I think the average golfer or mark crossfield did one
I had a Square Strike! It was alright, but it was too upright for me and it felt weird that I always gripped down on it. Now I have a random old club called the Equalizer. Bit more utility to it and it's probably just an old A wedge, but I love it. Taking it on the course this weekend, I'll let you know!
Few weeks on but how was it?
@@Never-you-mind I forget what course it was but it did pretty good. I had just swapped out my other wedges in my bag though so I did pretty bad
@@Never-you-mind not that you’ve cared over this large amount of time, but I’ve had a really love-hate relationship with chippers and my 52 wedge when chipping. I’ve put a Cleveland Niblick in the bag which has a more traditional golf club set up as opposed to the more upright square strike
Your editing skills are top notch . She. Your ready to come play Bethpage black come to New York and the round is on me
Al, apparently there is a Square strike set out there somewhere?
Have one not a big fan. Definitely need practice with it.
Great club for beginners. Now, what about that hat, where can I get one?
It would make a great tomato stake.
I have the 45° square strike. That's my go-to for 120 yards and in Love the club but definitely feel like I'm cheating lol
Wouldn’t this literally be the ideal wedge to have for a Scotland links golf trip? Lower trajectory, forgiving, putting stroke…🤷🏻♂️
Could work very well
I'm not a serious golfer, so I'm good with staying in my confort zone. This club stays in my bag because it helps my chipping game which I suck at. High Handicapper who consistently duffs my chip shots.
Idk. I just use an 8 or 9 iron when I want less loft and more run. Maybe the fat sole would help some people.
It will help many beginners to the game. 8/9 irons can be intimidating
@@alexetchesgolf That's fair. Confidence is everything. Whatever makes you comfortable.
I dont think its as simple as the fat sole. The weight of the head is way heavier (more like a putter) than an 8, 9 or PW so its more stable for its intended stroke. Shaft length is the same as a putter so around 34-35" so you dont need to grip down, and the lie angle is way more upgright to promote a straight back and through stroke. And of course like you mentioned, the sole has tons of bounce/"fat" to help turf interaction, especially from tight lies. It all depends on the golfer, their skill level/comfort around the greens, and especially cost/benefit of losing a club somewhere else in their bag to fit this in. Even a sub-10 handicap who has a lack of confidence around the green or has chip yips would be far better off playing this and two wedges, rather than your traditional 50, 54, 58. Im decent enough around the greens and i still am very tempted to try the ping chipr as it looks like point and shoot, but i cant bring myself to drop anything from my bag
I picked one up for $2, love it
Give you 3 for it.
I do a lot of thrift shop and second hand store shopping for golf clubs and golf balls, found the Square Strike @ Goodwill purchased for $2.49. Have yet to take it to the course to try out. Definitely would help in certain situations.
Me too. And I didn't like the club.
So its in the bag for good right?
Check out Ashley (and Jon) from Stacked Golf. Ashley has a love affair with chippers and Square Strike in particular.
Legend has it they bought a Ping ChipR for $3
Non golfer is much much better than me at chipping !!😮
Compare to Ping ChipR? :o)
This is Stacked Golf's favorite club.
You should have compared it against a pitching wedge around the green. There pretty much to same loft.
It was a 46 degree
@@alexetchesgolf oh, ok
This club is not a new development. I had one in my bag 40+ years ago and we called it a Texas Chipper. Mine actually had a face on both sides of the club so I could use it left-handed for those awkward lies.
Didn’t say it was Tim. You could argue all clubs aren’t exactly new developments? Thought this was good
I would use the Ping ChipR before I ever would use the square strike.
You do know that they make a 7,8,9 iron Right?
1st off how you just now doing a video on square strike. Lol 😂
Because I didn’t want to pay $300 for one? 😂
Golf is supposed to be fun. That’s a fun club Al. Hi-Toe my ass.
Have you seen the Muffin Man? REWARD $10,000
The muffin man?
My mate played with one of those. It suited our home course.. Hard and flat with minimal hazards. It definitely took a few shots off his handicap. 🇦🇺🏌️♀️
I've only seen 1 of the square strikes in the wild! My buddy gave his to another buddy who's much older and he still uses it! Stacked Golf on TH-cam loves this club!
🐊🏌🦅🇺🇲👍
