I've bought a chipper.

Beaut's aren't they, got one myself, not that particular one though but a chipper all the same, use it when my chipping goes a bit wonky, soon gets you back up to speed again...:thup:

My personal views on these are well known and I don't know anyone at my club, or indeed anyone I've played with that has one. However, that said, AG and others stock them for a reason so they must sell them. If it works then why not but I'll persist with trying to utilise either the linear method or something orthodox

Perhaps you should try one,as we have all heard your short games rank and you chop and change methods regulary.
 
I've got a chipper in the garage think it was £8 from sports direct. Got it like years ago never got on with it really.

For past few years I was bumping and running with an 8 iron (to good effect) but now (touch wood) I'm not overcooking/ under hitting wedges in so don't need to and if I am on fridge I'll use a 46 degree and help it along a bit

more confident I get the less I go to the 8 iron

With your short game surely you don't need one of these....

The humble chip and run has always been a bug bear of mine. Often struggle with distance control and the ball checking when you dont want it etc. Strike is also something that isn't always a guarantee.

Chip and run is often seen as the safe route. I end up fuming when I try this and leave it 10 feet or more short when I could quite easily loft it in closer with a sand wedge.

I have nothing to lose with trying this club. Its 20quid and at worst I have quirky wee club to mess around with in practice.

I have used chippers in the past but didn't like them as they were too lofted and also had sharp leading edges. This meant you could still hit these fat. This one looks like its basically putting with x4 the loft of a putter. Ideal for bump and run. time will tell.

I played our local links this morning and could have used this clubs 7/8 times. On a course like this it would certainly be more useful than a lob wedge.

Been a while since I purchased any crap/ unusual/ pointless clubs but this little ditty caught my eye recently and I couldn't resist as it is essentially the golfing silly season.

At 16 degrees it is quite different to most higher lofted chippers. This looks like a proper little dunt machine. Cannot wait to give it a roll. Will likely drop the 60 wedge when playing links and get dunting.

Sure I could use my 3 wood, hybrid or iron but why bother when this has been designed for the job. Can't wait to try it.

How long/upright is the shaft? Just curious, as most chippers look like putters in disguise, but that looks more like a five wood...

Idiot.

I notice you use game improving irons. Too weak to game blades are ya? What a girl!

I used to play with John Letters Master Model bladed irons and got down to 6 handicap with them. Then took a 20 year break from the game. When I took it up again I found they were terribly unforgiving of any off centre hits. Therefore as many tour pros were by now using game improvement type irons, I decided to change to them, particularly as I was not as good as I had been as a teenager. My clubs since have been Titleist DTR, Titleist DCI, Ping ISI (smaller headed version), Ping i15, and now the Taylor Mades, which are fairly mid-sized. Please note that I have never used the real big shovels, such as the Ping G series. I did at one point buy a secondhand set of McGregor bladed irons, but was not very successful playing with them!

Hope it goes well.
It's always curious to see what people will do to try and knock shots of their h/c (fitted irons, new driver, hopping about astride a putt with fingers in the air, bookshelves of self help, special drinks/snacks etc etc etc) and what they would never do because it would be completely ridiculous (try a chipper)....
