Thanks. Will do later in the day. Now, to go money hunting for today. Cheers. Post evening, I hope.

I'm still an Internet neanderthal. Have no idea how to get videos, post and all that. But am at the range this evening. Will get one of our pros to record some shots. But someone has to send me instructions on how to post videos. All of you chaps have your Club and golf set details on your...

I know a fellow who does that here. Swings right handed, putts left handed. Weird. Maybe we ought to convene a Weird Play tournament sometime in the future. The variety of strange playing styles and players would provide much amusement.

Not to worry. You're not the first to swing both ways. You're also not the first to express disbelief. I've had people who didn't believe the evidence of their eyes, even when they've seen me play. I'm yet to meet anyone whose game didn't disintegrate the first time I played with them. I simply...

On the subject of distance, I confess to adding an inch and a half length to all my clubs, without exception. My irons are Mizuno MP59 (PW to 6). I'm not sure if the additional length has anything to do with the distances I get. The clubs feel just right with the extension, and I swing with...

Let me expand my point. You have basically three types of shots you can play with an iron. A full shot, a half shot and a soft short shot. I'm using non-technical terms here, because a soft flop, short chip and short pitch shot are all feel shots I call soft short shots. Chippers assist with the...

Around the green, yes. But in my own case, I have limited space in the bag. Could not afford to drop another club. And couldn't hit a full shot with the chipper to the green from about 170 metres, which I do with the 7 iron. So I made the choice to improve my short game and drop the chipper cop...

I concede the point about the shaft position. But in the end, there's nothing the chipper does that the 7 iron can't do. versatility with the 7 iron is simply a matter of practice. I know, because I've been down that road. Unproductive duplication.

A chipper and a 7 iron have roughly the same loft. Cost of chipper unimportant. Both will run the ball in exactly the same way, the 7 iron giving you the additional advantage of enabling a full shot to the green. Duplication unproductive for the game. You end up with two 7 irons in the bag.

What's the point? You must already have a 7 iron. How does duplication help?
