I think a chipper would be a really nice club to have on the tightly mown area around the green, so I have been strongly considering putting one in my bag and removing my 60 degree. I can hit almost every shot I need to hit around the greens with my 56 degree, so I don't think I'll miss the 60.

Another option would be to steal my Cleveland Niblick back from my wife. That was a really fun club to hit. If I did that, I might keep the 60 in the bag and remove the PW because the niblick is a really good full swing club, too.

I made myself one a couple of years ago with the advice of a guy on another forum....here's what he recommended:
1. Get a 7-8-or 9 iron, preferably one with an undercut sole (or at least a cavity back)
2. Cut the shaft down to the length of a wedge or putter (about 35 inches is pretty standard).
3. Bend the lie more upright to about the lie of a putter (most wedges are about 64, putters are about 70-71
4. Add weight with either lead tape or stick on lead weights to weigh what a putter or wedge weighs.

Presto! You have your own custom made chipper! I built one like this with an old Wilson Staff 7 iron that
worked like a charm, but eventually, I learned to chip the "right way" using the normal clubs. If you like
to tinker with clubs like a lot of guys here, this would be an easy project.

If not, this Square Strike wedge seems to make sense to me.....they've made a lot of the adjustments I
described above.....shorter, heavier, more upright, etc.

7 iron. Choke down, ball back in your stance, lean the shaft forward, almost a putting stroke......just a little wrist action.

puttnfool An "experimental" morning, today, I pulled my 4 hybrid to chip with. Used it probably 4 or 5 times today. It worked EXTREMELY well!!!! Carded a nice 77. Will need to spend some more time and see if it was a "one-off" or if this may be the beginning of the end of my chipping woes.

    For tight lies ill use a 3 hybrid around the green. Otherwise I'lI use my trusty 42* Cleveland Niblick.

    limpalong LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my 4i hybrid from the fringe and even further out if I have lots of green to work with...

    Bigborgel I'm always kind of shaky about infommercial golf clubs....

    Me too. I think Jack Hamm gave all infomercial clubs a bad reputation. They might be the real deal, but I am going to let someone else try it first. I am really skeptical of the wedge ads and the driver ads that are currently running (C3i and GX 7).

    sdandrea1 this looks like the took the mold for the driving iron/hyrid things that DeChambeau wanted made and sold it off as a wedge. I’m not saying it won’t work, but I’m saying I’m not buying it.

      I watched their full infomercial and the design actually has some good points. Something they don't show much of is using it for pitch shots away from the green. All of their shots are on or near the fringe. I think in general people have more trouble from 10 - 30 yards out than they do chipping from the fringe. I don't know if the Squarestrike was designed for that distance.

      That's one problem I have with forums, social media, etc. Sometimes you have to be SOOooooo careful
      about what you say and how you say it, so it won't be taken the wrong way. They need a "sarcasm button" or
      a "humor icon." I've almost lost a couple of friends b/c my intended sense of humor didn't come through in print......

        fatshot I just say what I want to say. If someone knows me, then they'll pick up on it. If they don't know me and get their panties in a bunch, it doesn't affect me in the least. Some people's skin is too thin.

        The "wink" πŸ˜‰ icon is my indication that I'm just messing with someone - which is usually most of the time.

          Bigborgel Don't sweat it Unc. We all just figured anyone who would game Ping Eye 2's would also play the new Square wedge, just sayin

          Screw that. I'm thinking of going all hickory. Golf is too easy with modern clubs. 😎
