belly 3 wood?

[granters]

I was practicing my chipping the other night,and got my 3 wood out to try a few bump and runs.I was gripping right down,and the shaft was just about in my belly. So i tried a few shots in the same manner as you would use a belly putter. Immediately I noticed how much easier it was to control with the club being anchored.I'm fairly traditional and wouldn't dream of trying this in a comp, BUT is it legal out of curiosity?

I don't know for certain but I suspect it would be illegal

I wasn't aware it was illegal. Where did that come from?

 

[fundy]

perfectly legal. i chip occasionally with the hybrid but do everything not to catch the butt in the gutt so to speak lol

Yep, Ive done something like that before with the Rescue 'putt' / 'chip'
Just messing about, but yep, sure seems very controllable.
