I bought one of these a few weeks ago (before I'd even seen this video) and it's been a revelation. Several times I've almost putted it in from off the green. It's by far much more consistent for me, as a 20+ handicapper, than any other club around the green. Those who comment about the loft being the same as an 8/9 iron, so don't bother with a chipper, just learn to use existing club, are totally missing the point. Everything about the chipper is different to any iron and it produces better results, certainly for those of us with high handicaps.
I bought mine for £25 thinking if it is a waste, then I haven't spent much. It's turned out to be the biggest bargain to improve my results.
Try the Ray Cook Silver Ray Chipper... It's a 32* Chipper... Works Great!!!
I've used one of these for a few years now!....they were £19.95 then!,,,,It is my go to club around the greens...I can even get back spin on it when short sided!🙂🙂🙂
I had the Square Strike but the ChipR is the one for me.
The thing I like best about my chipper is the added weight, compared to an 8-iron. Also, the chipper goes dead straight whereas the iron can often go a bit left or right. And the big deal is I don’t recall ever chucking my chipper whereas I chunk my 8-iron about 10-20% 8:46 of the time I chip with it, which can be costly.
I got this exact club a couple of years ago after being frustrated by bad chipping, and it's stayed in my bag since. A common complaint as seen in these comments is the need to remove another club to put it in, but the standard of player looking to use a chipper is unlikely to be carrying a full complement of clubs anyway, and certainly not a full set of wedges!
Absolutely a voice of reason, many golfers get the game very confused and manage to over complicate it, glad it is working for you👍
Couldn't you do the same thing by choking down on a 7 iron/hybrid, and using a putting stroke?
Visually this is near identical to one thats been in my family for...probably more whole life lol that I dug out last year as Crossfield was talking about his Cleveland Chipper and I knew we had that one somewhere for me to mess around with. It is fun around the green but does feel very limited because of the general shape and size. I recently got the ChipR because I liked the look and slight more versatility of it compared to the Cleveland one but theyre both definitely the top 2 since they can be used from 50-100 even if the manufactures "dont advise" it. I suppose the Square Strike or that style one could be the happy medium of more affordable and a bit more options vs the lofted putter ones.
I’ve been gaming a smart sole C for 2 seasons now. I find if I can limit its use I am better off. Meaning for short chips I’m more accurate with a 56 or 60* wedge. But for chips that need to cover a longer shot I go with the chipper. I like that it stays on line. Sometimes when I chip long distances with a wedge it will have some funky side spin.
We have a Wilson chipper which is about the same price point. The missus is absolutely lethal with it. It is one dimensional. I don't know if i would pay more money for it. I did put a lamkin grip on it which does make a difference.
I bought one of those cheap chippers a couple years ago during the winter. Still havent tried it. After watching this I will put in the bag for a round
Good luck 🤞
Yep, let your ego at home and make less putts 🤔
I’m in my 2nd season of golf and have used this chipper , it gave me the confidence to chip round the green with the usual wedges which I now use .
For the average golfer, whatever works! Golf is more fun if you are getting closer to the hole. But if you have deep pockets and money is no object, the Ping has more prestige value. I prefer using equipment that helps me play better golf, and at the price of this chipper, this is what I would buy.
Why not just use your 8 or even 7 iron with a putting stroke 🤷♂️
You can. But an iron doesn’t have an upright lie like a chipper does. Also shaft length. Most people don’t choke down enough When chipping with an iron.
Chippers have more mass in the sole of the club.
I think the $25 chipper is more playable and I could see it as a handy club to have available in wet winter conditions, especially.
I recommend anyone at least try the Wilson Harmonized chipper. It works well for me and it is inexpensive and doesn't look obnoxious.
Hi Andy. I own both a ping chipper and a cheaper more traditional chipper. When using the cheaper version I got a lot of stick for using it, where as with the ping chipper nobody has even noticed. Both are good products . The solution is to practice your wedge game but I find I don’t have the time to fit it in my hectic work schedule. If you don’t mind the stick off your pals then go for cheaper option but you want to be sly and don’t mind spending the extra cash then the Ping is the route to go down.
Why are these frowned upon? The goal in golf is to get the ball in the hole in the least amount of shots rights? So if these legal clubs work for you them use them. Nobody mentions the mailbox sized driver you’re using, that’s ok I guess…but this chipper?Your pals won’t be laughing when they hand over their cash.
These are ok but don't seem any better than just using a normal club and bump n running it.
Save the extra cash and buy the cheap one. I care nothing about any stigma about carrying a chipper. I even call it my cheat stick. Let them laugh at you while you're taking their money. The point is to lower your scores and have more fun. Putting a chipper in my bag has done that for me.
Would it matter if you putting stroke is an arc type vs straight back style?
I wouldn’t think so
After 6-8 inches the club has to start travelling inside and you would be pushing the hands outside the line
I have one like this one from PowerBilt golf, but upgraded to an Odyssey Xact Tank Chipper. Both are great clubs, the only difference is price new. My Odyssey Chipper was $50.00 used with a Super Stoke grip. I also a few other chippers. The style in this video was original on a North Western Chipper back in 5he 80’s here in the States. A 7i or 8i works well also if folks are to proud to use a Chipper. Practice, practice, practice with the normal irons.
I have carried a Cleveland Launcher HB 9-iron as a "chipper" for about 3 years. I say "chipper", because I can hit it out of basically ANY lie successfully-- heavy rough, bare dirt, tight fairway, hard pan -- you name it. It is awesome out of cross bunkers from, say, 115 yards out (subject to your swing speed, obviously. I hit it the same distance as my Mizuno 9i). I like it so much that I am now testing a Cobra t-rail GW for most to the same reasons: versatility from 100 yards in and around the green. I don't think you have to restrict your thinking to a Chipper. The 2 clubs I mention have most of the same characteristics: lots of bounce; thick, forgiving sole; forgiveness across the face. I am 63 and play to a 6 to 8 HDCP. Shot 2 73s and a 74 last week with these 2 clubs in the bag.
Hi Andy I've been using one of these since you showed me thanks, BTW what is that navy half zip you are wearing?
I've had an XF Pro chipper in my bag for quite a number of years and find it invaluable and a confidence booster, I've lost count of how many times I've holed out with it. It's handy for use as a getting back into play club if your drive ends up in a tight spot where you can't make a swing with a larger club, can be a godsend.
Been using a Cleveland Smart Sole C wedge for 2 seasons now. Love this club. Use as a chipper and 50 -70 yard approach wedge. Very versatile.
Great rescue club as well, if your in the trees or need to shoot through a gap in the trees you need it to be dead on straight. This club will do it time after time
I couldn’t possibly care less about others opinions of what I carry. If it takes off strikes, I’m about it 😂
Think on Certain Course and during Winter Golf were lye is thin a Chipper is actually a good option for the Average Golfer. In Summer try to uses standard wedges..
Got one and I love it
Get the orlimor
Great video, I regret buying my Cleveland chipper now
Try and inesis chipper from decathalon. Decent as well.
If the product suits your game, a great buy
£ commonly known as Pounds Sterling
Like everything else in golf practice makes perfect
Take an 8 iron and swing it like you would swing a putter. Very effective.
Great idea but a chipper has quite a bit more upright lie. I bent an eight iron more upright and threw it in the bag.
Bump n run
I love my chipper 😂
I’m sure you do!
Good Show Andy and thanks for this tip...
Is this a usga r and a legal club?
You can replicate this by without buying another club by holding a something like a 9 iron with the shaft upright (toe more down -heel more up) and using a putting grip. It's not hard to master and removes the need to drop another club from the bag.
Use an 8 iron works fine
Just means taking out a club in the bag. Bit of practice with an 8 iron soon gets you chipping well... apart from a putter. Its the shortest swing of any club
Most people don't use all the clubs in their bag anyway, majority of courses it you can hit a decent drive won't leave you anymore than a 7 iron second shot so i would say the majority of golfers would have space in their bag
@@moore66 I play courses with 460-470yrd par 4s...par 3s from 135 to 220yrds
@@smartgolfer played golf for close to 30 years and you don't get many courses with par 4s that long, get the odd hole but not many. Especially when you dont play off the back tees which majority of people dont
I'm a nine HC with a pretty good short game, but I do have the shanks every once in a while. I put a 45 degree Square Strike and haven't looked back. It's my go to club from 30 yards and in. It just makes the mistakes smaller around the greens.
In the end, it's the same or close to loft as a 9-iron. Just learn the bump and run and learn which club is going to give you the distance roll you want. Not worth giving up another club in the bag for this. You already have it.
What's best a 37 degree or a 32 degree in this range I do tend to over hit my chips maybe the 37degree maybe better. I over hit chips and also top sometimes.
