Just put a Cleveland SmartSole 4 chipper in the bag and I will say it’s an absolute game changer. Just amazing and so easy. Never chipped this well in 40+ years.

I bought the Cleveland smart sole chipper. I love it. 40 yards around the green my weapon of choice. Based on my shotscope stats i am hitting closer to the flag.

I gapped my wedges from 4 degrees to 6 so I could remove a club and make room for the Chipper. Previously had 46, 50, 54 and 58. Now I have 46, 52 and 58.

I like Mike’s no nonsense, straightforward way of sharing his thought.

I would love to see you do a "chipper off". a comparison between the Smartsole & the ChipR

I've been playing with a Cleveland smart sole chipper all year and loving it. I now play it for most chip shots and even many 50 yard and in shots. The upright lie and the thick sole (especially now that the grounds are hard and baked out) make it extremely accurate and more controllable. For some longer shots I can play it more on my front foot with a punch motion. It's been a great scoring tool. Thank you for your introduction to the product- I have you to thank

Got all 3 Cleveland Smart Sole 4, been life savers with chipper being the most used. Best money spent as I don't ever have second thoughts grabbing it out of the bag on different situations around the green. Never looking back.

I bought one - Cleveland SS4 - after seeing it on your channel Mark and absolutely love it. Thoughtless ease.

So pleased that someone has actually endorsed the use of a chipper; I have been so embarrassed about my ChipR that I have kept it under a head cover!

I'm a 18 handicapper and on average I score around the mid to high 80's. My biggest problem is GIR. I bought the Ping ChipR last week and my first round with it, I scored 77. This club took 6 shots off my score. Easily one of the best purchases I've made.

I took a forged blade 9i (42*), cut it to 34”, bent it 7* upright to 70* lie, put 10 wraps of grip tape and a tour velvet jumbo grip on, and gobbed 20g of lead tape on the back. I have chipped in once a round for my last 4 rounds of golf, before bagging my “chipper” I only chipped in once in the last year. I’m now using this thing for punching out, extreme ball above the feet shots, open faced chips. If you are afraid of chipper stigma, make a “franken-chipper”.

I have been using the chipR and the truth is that I like to have that iron in my bag, I use it in certain circumstances and it has helped me a lot

Ordered my Ping Chipr - being delivered tomorrow. I've currently got 14 clubs, but I don't use my 3 wood or 4 iron - so one of those will go to make a place for it. Looking forward to getting out on the practice ground with it this weekend.

Just got a second hand Cleveland Niblick 42 degree chipper. So much easier around the rough and before green. No problem taking a club out to allow for this. Confidence building. As someone who can't reach a long par 4 in 2 then this is a no brainer.

I have the odyssey act chipper and i couldn't get on with it until I had a putting lesson though the pro was impressed with my putting he change one thing and that was to lower my grip so my eyes were pretty much over the ball . I tried the chipper again with this knowledge and hey presto works every time.. I use it for around the greens where bashing the putter through wet grass isn't an option 😂

I picked up a Tour Edge HL4 chipper. It has changed my game around the green. It is a great feeling when I am practicing at my local course and people ask me what I am using.

I'm a pretty good chipper -- pretty good short game all around -- but your discussions about chippers prompted me to try something a little different on some shots: for short chips, use an 8 or 9 iron but with putting technique. So far the results are surprisingly good. This works especially well when I might be tempted to putt from off the green.

Just ordered one can’t wait. 53 years of age chipping is still massively inconsistent and I want to score better round the green and enjoy it more. Scores not ego!

Hi, After being away from Golf for five year`s ,I joined my local club 2 months ago, had lessons and will continue with lessons for a while yet. Ive never been what you could describe as a great golfer, my official handicap came through this morning 21.5.But on the topic of a chipper ,I bought the Ping ChipR from yourselves and after only 3 rounds practice i can say it was well worth every penny! I used to use a 9 or 8 iron, with around a 50 percent chance of actually chipping into the area i wanted! After using the chipR without any practice, i found it a lot easier and gave me more confidence! I am not saying for one minute it worked every time, as none of my clubs work every time! lol. And as for having to take out a club to make room, that was easy, cause there`s plenty of room in my bag! A golfer like me does not need a bag full of wedges! So my advice is this, if you struggle chipping get a chipR and enjoy your golf ! Im not planning on staying at 21.5 for long and my new chipR is going to make all the difference! Keep up the great videos and try and stay on the shorter grass! Shaun.

I got the ChipR three weeks ago and absolutely love it! ♥️ I have totally eliminated and fat or thin chip shots, and (as you say) now get it on the green! I can’t say I’m a poor chipper (with a wedge or 9-iron), but standing more upright and using more of a putting stroke is definitely easier. I have really only used it with 15-20 yards of the green, so the jury is still out using it from 80 or 100 yards. I haven’t holed out with it yet, but I’ve had several within inches of the cup. 👊🏻 As far a what club to TAKE OUT of the bag to make room for it … I took my 3-wood out. According to ARCCOS, my 5-wood goes as far as my 3-wood and is much more accurate (15% more fairways off the tee than using 3-wood); an easy decision for me.

I put the "Pirate" club ( The ChipArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ) in my bag and took out the 64 degree. The 64 was useful 1 or 2 times over the course of 2 or 3 rounds, whereas the ChipR is useful half a dozen times PER ROUND, so the swap was an easy choice. In addition to a portion of my chipping needs, I find the ChipR useful for emergency situations like chopping yourself out of a tree well or a side hill with the ball 2 feet above you ( 14 handicapper, reporting for duty! )

I play Ping G30’s so my irons are close to the chipper so I don’t have to spend extra money! My favorite chipping clubs are PW and 8 iron. Great video as always.

I’ve ordered a ChipR - I’m excited about using it. Feel it will massively improve my chipping as I’m never comfortable with a wedge or short iron. Fingers crossed.

At last, someone talking sensibly about using a specialist club for chipping. Personally, chipping around the green is a strength so I don't need a chipper, but if it wasn't I would defo get one, SIMPLE

If you are the creative type of golfer using a chipper like this then you don’t have to replace any club in the bag, because you are smart enough to already be playing about 9-10 clubs instead of 14.

2 rounds now with my Ping ChipR and I love it !

Very informative mark really great value btw I bought ping chpr and started using it last week so versatile and gets it close and your bad ones so much better

First round last Friday with the new Ping ChipR. It went really well and was used from 90 yards to on the fringe. The acid test - I generally got the ball closer. My only issue was which club to take out, but on my home course, the 9 iron yardage is seldom left, I removed that. It may change.

I've just added a ChipR to the bag. Lots of trees on my home course, perfect club for hacking it back onto the fairway as well as it's more common uses

This was timely (for me) and great advice!

Got one....love it ;0) Cleveland chipper 4

Just put the ChipR in my bag and it’s transformed my game (I only had 13 clubs before)

I replaced both my 56* sand wedge and 60* lob wedge with a single Cleveland Smart Sole 4 58* sand wedge which made room for a Cleveland Smart Sole 4 42* chipper.

Exactly right

I got a cheap off brand 8 iron for $2 from the thrift store that had a super wide sole cut it down to 35 inches and it works great from 100 yards in

Ordered ping chipr, fingers crossed. Great video

Excellent advice!!

I've just ordered P/S Cleveland as ping was massive delays to get one

i removed my driver; 3 wood, or 2 iron are enough to put me in the middle of a fairway, and as they say 'driving for show, putting & chipping for dough"

CLEVELAND smart sole. Hell with the mates, they'll be bitter and will eat into their game 🙂

I have one in my bag, some shots its just easier and low risk for me, I do enjoy chips with the SW though and mix it up. Spare slots in my bag only carry 12 clubs with the chipper so no pobleem.

If I’m finishing 18 less than 107 w/ my new ChipR replacing my 60 I’ll be 😆

Hi Mark, ive just got a chip r from you guys. I have my Driver, 3 wood, 3, hybrid, 4 hybrid, cobra irons 5 to Gw at 50 degree, a 56 degree wedge, and 60 wedge, what would you advise to take out. My Driver is about 270, 3 Wood 245, 3 hybrid 220, 4 hybrid, 200, 5 iron 185 so all decent gaps. If i remove a wedge ill have a big gap somewhere but i used my mates chipper and it was deadly from 40 yards in. Love my 56 for bunkers with fluffy sand and my 60 for lob shots when short sighted. The pitching wedge is 45 degree so if i take out the 50 degree there is a big gap to the 56. Help me please lol

I would like a chipper with no grooves . Sometimes the backspin can give a crooked bounce

Struggling to buy the Cleveland. Any idea when they are back in stock?

I like the idea of a chipper. Any you would recommend.

Hi Mark just received mine from the golfshoponline. I have a question to ask i have 5 to gw in the Mizuno 225 irons with the gw at 50 degrees. On top of that i have 2 more wedges a Vokey 56 and Vokey 60 degree. Would you say this combination is too many wedges or could i perhaps lose one of them. Total clubs in bag 14

Thinking about getting one. At least try it

Nice background #bigdimples

How do you think it compares with the Callaway chipper

I’ve had a chipper in my bag for more than 20 years and it’s NEVER coming out!!!

My question is what is the typical flight to roll ratio with a child?
