Men who use chippers!!

OK, I confess, I used to use a chipper when I first started out. Had an Inesis chipper bought from Decathlon for about a tenner. It helped me out until I had enough lessons to learn to use another club to do the same job. Still have it somewhere and all this talk tempts me to get it out again just to see how it goes.
 
. after this thread some golfers will only play in the dark from now on :D

There are only so many things one can feel ashamed of in life and you will find a lot of them on the golf course :D
 
Havnt read the whole thread but to the OP I couldnt give a stuff if someone had 14 chippers of differing lofts in their bag. What I would care about is what he's shooting and is he going to beat me with whatever clubs he's using.

Jeez theres so many differing types of club out there these days whats its matter what anyone else uses....sigh..
 
I'll be the one at the Belfry with a paper bag over my head!

I'll use the electric trolley, the bag will have a chipper, some hybrids and a K1 in it. The irons will have headcovers, and I'll be wearing a black glove!

That should just about cover it!! :D

You just described me :D :D apart from the leccy trolley ;)

I have come to the conclusion with this thread that chippers are not indeed the devils work, they are in fact a good tool in the right hands and save shots for higher handicapers as well as low ones.

I have in fact got one on "watching" on EBay :o

You leaving the Orange trousers at home then? ;)
 
Cleaveland do one that is sort of a cross between a chipper & a proper club.... Niblick I think. sort of a 9 iron/chipper cross I believe... Its butt ugly, but probably not quite as embaresing as the usual chippers me thinks. Which I supose wouldn't look too far out of place, especially if you happen to have gone for cleveland irons, it'd be hidden away amoungst the rest of the set.
 
You mean one of these. They come in two loft angles!!

Interesting that several of us have experimented with one, then relagate it to the broom cupboard.

I wonder if it's a 'confidence' club for beginners. That is until they get a bit handier with whatever club you use for chipping. Be it irons, woods or hybrids!

Normally I'd agree, but a member of my clubs scratch team uses one. He has no problem/embassasment using it as he often finishes under par with it.
Therefore I'd suggest that it doesn't matter what you use as long as it works.
 
My boss used one last friday, after the initial reaction (me rolling on the floor laughing) he proceded to duff every chip with a mixture of chipping/putting stroke......don't think we'll be seeing that club again!

When you come across someone who can use this tool well as I have, you may have different opinion, I doubt there are any chipping gurus who could beat him in a chipping comp. ;)
Myself, Im not keen on them. :(
