I've bought a chipper.

[snell]

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 out. Golf does require some dedication in order to improve. I I suggest our friend who is looking at a chipper spend some time on the range, working on the short game. The results will be most rewarding.

Not a bad 7 iron distance....nearly forum distances actually

185 yards has to put him in the top 5% surely.

We need less of these types of comments on this forum.

Don't get your panties in a twist

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 greater freedom. Difficult to put into words. And I swing one handed.

And I swing one handed.

I can swing both ways.....

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 find that swinging one handed gives me distances and control that matches category one long hitters.

I have been swinging both ways for ages. A lot of people are also surprised when they see it for the first time.
It's a talking point.

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.

To reach a wider audience you could film your swing and post it here then we could all see it

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 pages. I simply can't locate the portal on the edit page. Would be grateful for directions on that too.

 

[bobmac]

Its really simple. 1. Join Youtube, its free. 2. Upload your swing video into Youtube 3. Cut and paste the video link into a post or use the video link button at the top of the box you reply in

 

[one armed bandit]

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

Jeez. Why not wait a month or more before you get uppity. That was posted 27th March. It was called banter

Not feeling uppity, just feel a little sad whenever these things are said.

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.

Oh Gaz, I don't even know where to start 😩

Oh Gaz, I don't even know where to start ��

You could start by adding that to your watch list and wait for my feedback. :rofl:

 

[shivas irons]

I sold loads of chippers when I worked for AG,more popular than you think .

 

[HomerJSimpson]

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

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

i know a 2 hcap who has one and he is deadly with it.
if anyone takes the rise he just shows them his sweep winnings.
