With my chipping woes, I'm truly tempted.

Mine stays in my bag "permanently" you can pick em up for less than 20 on the "bay" posted and with a tiny bit 'o' practice you'll be wondering why you ever bothered with all those expensive wedges you've got in your bag !...:thup:
 
I played with someone today that hit a chipper from approx 70 yards over a stream - flag was at the back of the green and he finished on the back edge. He also tried it out of a bunker. He did have a reasonable lie but did not get it out.

I won 6 & 5
 
I have been using one for the last 4-5 years and tried a few before I settled on probably the best chipper ever, awesome club that saves me countless shots and I get some stick but I don't care what others say, normally they are from golfers I have just beaten in a match or the high handicapper wannabee pros who use a pro v1 and vokey wedges and wonder why they don't have a good short game. This isn't like your normal chipper though, its like a squashed down 8 iron, well constructed and comes with a true temper wedge shaft, ive used it for fringe shots and 100 yd bump and runs and in our 3 club comp went driver, chipper and putter and shot 36pts, highlight was the 185yd second shot on the first which left a 6ft putt! they take a bit of getting used too mainly with ground conditions and roll out but now I think nothing of 20-30yd chips to a dustbin lid distance.
if you buy a chipper, buy this one and thank me later, I have 3 to last me a lifetime...

Yes but I play golf for a bit of fun in these comps, my 24 hybrid is 230yds and 21 250yds so not an option, what about a 7 iron which is my club for that distance, oh hold on I have a 7-8 iron loft chipper capable of full shots, lets use that in this fun competition!
Off topic anyway, not getting dragged into these arguments by the masters at being obnoxious!
My input was to point out a good club to anyone struggling with their short game and hope they have a bit of fun which is what its all about.
From experience on the course with people who turn their nose up at chippers I am not surprised there are a few on here, have you been on the wrong end of a beating with someone with a chipper in the bag?

Bloody hell I thought my 225+ with a 15*/3 wood was good, anyway gotta agree matey although my chipper's not built for those kind of ranges it'll happily do anything from about 60-70yds out !...:thup:
 
Saw one yesterday in ag. Can't remember what make etc, but have been considering one for a while.

In all seriousness, are they;
1)useful
2) allowed?

As a 28 handicap that tries to use PW/SW from just off the green with 20-40 yds to go, I will either end up the other side of the green with another chip on, or got 1-2ft where I try to keep the power down.

They are mocked by many on this forum but can be very useful for a high handicapper who is struggling around the green (and lower handicappers going through a period of shanking). They are perfectly legal providing they have only one striking face and a normal iron grip. The mockers decry them, saying "practise using an iron or hybrid, you don't need a club which can only do one thing". I say to the mockers that it's nothing to do with them and it's up to each player to decide what's best.

By the way, I don't use a chipper but have done in the past and still have 3 in the garage for emergencies.
