I got one for my wife, she was reluctant at first cause no one else used one but now it’s her favourite club in the bag.

A lot of snobbery in golf and i'm no tiger woods so as soon as i dropped my ego and got myself a chipper (Odyssey) 6 months back i saved 6-8 shots per round..no one cares how many clubs i have in my bag at my level, couldn't recommend enough

I am amazed that everyone doesn't carry a chipper. I have a Cleveland Niblick which I bought on ebay (mainly because I couldn't find a decent new branded club). I found I was often chunking my wedges for the more delicate chips from the edge of the green, especially in wet conditions, often costing me 3 or 4 shots a round. My chipper has been a revelation. I find I use this club maybe 10 times a round and I've never chunked it. Its also very helpful in those situations where the ball is in a hazard and you just want to get back on the fairway. After practice the results are consistently close and chip-ins are fairly common. It replaced my gap wedge which I rarely used. I still need the 60 degree for over bunkers etc.

I actually used this chipper for about eight months on the Amateur Tour I was on. I wasn’t confident with chipping and this club helped, but it also taught me the better mechanics of chipping that I was able to chip confidently with my other clubs that I was able to take it out of the bag. So I do think it can help someone, and the club I took out was my most lofted club. It worked for me.

Will always have my chipper in my bag!

My Odyssey Chipper completely altered my confidence around the green. I use it a few times a round. I've became surgical with that bad boy.

New golfer.... I hit my first up-and-down from about 25 yards last week with an old Fazer chipper I bought at a thrift store. I love this club! It has helped my score immensely.

Love that you took it seriously. Great review.

I borrowed my moms pitch putter. It's a 45 degree. I found straight shots and easy to control. Going to find me one tomorrow. Definitely going to improve my game. On the practice green I was getting close to sinking them. For us who struggle with chipping this is the ticket

I have used the Adams Idea chipper 37 degree for 10 years, I put an extra fat grip on it lovely. I do not have enough confidence around the green. BUT you need a lot of green to work with. Our greens are elevated so you cannot run up. Best on flatter approaches with a lot of green at least 20 feet as this baby will run. Putter stroke is best. My biggest problem is if I try to land before the green and run, that is tricky. You were just using this and found it easy to use, very accurate. If you used a lot you would love even more.

Love it I got a Cleveland smart sole chipper same thing. I call it the Chutter. Anyway good for me up to 130 yard shots 150 down hill. Very accurate at close ranges. If I'm hitting off of tight lies and not hitting my 56 or 60 well I break out the Chutter. Bump and run all the way. Also great for low ball flight keeps ball underneath tree branches and stuff. Lovee all your videos! Keep it up.

Great demonstrator. Keeping it real. I like how he talks to us and not at us!

I am a 5hdcp, from the midwest and now reside in the northwest, very good with short game around the green. However, I still struggle with bermuda grass especially into the grain in the south including Las Vegas and California. The big sole helps prevent digging, just no bite. I even think of putting this club in the bag when I travel for friendly tournaments.

Great point on picking one that most resembles your putter👍. Not for everyone, but if it is, probably makes the transition easier and confidence high.

Picked up a chipper last week, played with it today, and definitely has its benefits

Tried one for a season and did exactly what it said on the tin. The trouble was while it was great around the green , it wasn’t great at anything else so I couldn’t justify replacing another club in my bag.

I’ve used a chipper for a few years. It takes a while to master especially on longer pitches. The biggest thing for me was distance control. I’ve even used it out of shallow bunkers. Once you get used to it, it can be a useful club.

I took a cavity back 9 iron, filled the cavity with silver solder, smoothed it out and covered the solder in lead tape. I then mounted that head onto a graphite shaft to maximize swing weight. I was absolutely amazed at the shots I could stick close from almost any lie. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I've never used a chipper before, but I think I'll try it. I feel like I can do it. Thank you.

I love my chipper, I got the yips and it really helps me get up n down (sometimes more often than other :)

i use my chipper 50 yards out and under trees. Works great!😎

I've been golfing for years off and on I just picked 1 up yesterday and figured why not I get to use it tomorrow granted I'm the type of player that keeps track of how many balls I lose instead of strokes and I eventually want to start keeping score thanks for the intro to the club you've earned a subscriber

I have that club in my bag. I bought it last year. I used it a little, but sort of forgot about it. I think I’ll try it again.

I have used a chipper for over 10 years now. I use it mainly on low run out shots but it also comes in handy under trees when you just need to get back on the fairway.

My wife started using a chipper for all her chip shots a little over a year ago and I guarantee you she has shaved 4 to 5 strokes off her rounds. She uses it for everything from 15 yards and in as long as there is nothing like a trap in the way.

I’ve had terrible chipping yips the last couple months. I grabbed an old Cleveland halo 6 hybrid and my chipping has really improved.

I found one of these and played around with it in the yard. First thing I noticed was having to hold the handle high like you mentioned vs choking up like i normally would. It does work, honestly you would have to really screw something up to not chip with this. To me the flight is about what you would expect from an 8 iron, which i use a lot for chip n runs. If you struggle at all it would be worth trying a chipper, because it won't only help you in game, it will help groove in a nice technique. I can't play one though, no room in bag and I would just use an 8 iron to do the same thing. If I was going to remove a club it would probably be the 62*, but I carry a lot of wedges.

Great video great advice. I have one and if my short game is off it goes back in the bag. Otherwise I find that standing closer with the shaft upright and the heel of the club off the ground works really well. The British coach Pete Cowan advocates this method with great effect.

These do work.. Great for summer, imagine you've landed your shot just shy of the green on a rock hard fairway, short grass etc.. In that situation I'd take a chipper over a wedge all day 🤟🏻

Always use my chipper. Favourite club

Thanks for helping me get past the stigma. The comment about hybrids really helped me put it in perspective. Went and got a Cleveland smart sole 3.0 chipper after watching your video. The brand helps trick myself into thinking it’s legitimate lol. Been practicing with it and love it. Can’t wait to see what it does on the course tomorrow! Thanks for the videos!

Thinking of getting one. I’ve only played for 2 years and most of my approach shots end up off the green so I use the Texas wedge a lot. I think this could be a good transition

It works for me. If it's not taking a space for another club and it gives confidence, I say go for it.

I love how pleasantly surprised he is by the chippers performance

Yes they do , I teach a class with just these type clubs , I'd say 80% of the people that play need to carry one because they have no intention of ever truly practicing the hrs needed to chip the "correct" way , make a putting stroke off she goes , a hybrid can be used the same way as well .

I have the square strike wedge and i absolutely love it.

I was semi-Pro 23 years ago and was gifted one by my girlfriend at the time. She is no longer with us so that club means something special to me, but in regards to my game, I will always have it in my bag. I use it at least 4 times a round to this day and cannot express how valuable it is. Putting through fringe is unpredictable and a chipper allows you to go over it and roll with accuracy and confidence. I also hate baby chip shots with a wedge and a chipper allows me to avoid that. It doesn’t work with downhill roll out, but it gives you a significantly better chance to hole out within 12 feet off the green and with practice gives you a much higher percentage at saving par. Just think of how many pros wish they had one at Pine Hurst for the US Open🤔

Stumbled across this gem because I just purchased the Cleveland Smart Sole Chipper. From the comments I might be able to save 6 - 8 strokes per round and break 80. Great video and always do you.

I find my chipper so easy to use. I had a gap in length between my pitcing wedge and the 56 degrees. I even use it from 50 yards or so to the pin. Has saved me from annoying shanks.

My grandpa had an old chipper like that in his bag. I have it in mine now. I never knew how to use it right lol. Thank you for your videos. Gonna utilize it this weekend!

For those of us who play single length clubs, chipping with a 6 hybrid (30 degree) works as good or better because the sole on the hybrid is not flat. My putter length is 34 inches and my single length clubs are 37 inches in length, so if you choke up on the hybrid about 4 inches it is the same length as my putter which I choke up about an inch. You can then use a putting stroke. This way you don’t have to decide about what clubs are in or out of the bag.

I borrowed one in a round yesterday just to try it and I chipped in so yes it works to a degree

Good Info Matt. Never tried a chipper. But I may after watching your video. Thanks brother

I love my chipping putter. Its transformed my game. I have used that club from 30 yards off the green if I have fairway to roll on and pin is right in front of green. My scores immediately got better with this club. I suck at chipping with wedges and this club makes me feel like im cheating lol

I have a Cleveland smart sole chipper and it’s a great club. I use it a lot from 30 yards or less. Longer shots do depend on how much green you have to work with.

Chipping with a 7iron today, considering a real chipper for the future :D

I have a Square Strike. I love it.

I have the tank chipper from Odyssey. It’s really fun to hit. So easy and but hardly need it in a round. Thank you for checking out this type of club! Fun to watch

Really good advice, especially on getting the same type of chipper design as your putter. Helps me a lot on which one to get. Thanks!

Love my chipper. Zevo up and in, 34 degree. Around green out to 120. Flew a 125 par 3 yesterday. Know it’s not for everyone but for me I use it quite a bit. Also 14 clubs in my bag is too many clubs. 20 handicap

Great video, you are now my go to creator for golf content! SUBSCRIBED.

I would never use one of these clubs but I appreciate your open-mindset and humility. It would certainly help a lot of people who are just out for fun.

one of your more serious efforts, I was very surprised at how open you were to try one of these considering how great you are around the greens. I struggle a lot around 18 meters in from the green and have tried one of these but probably didn't give enough of a chance, I might try again. Love your content

The club encourages a bit of a putting stroke. The same can be done with an 8 iron, standing more upright and having the toe of the club be what passes through the grass. It's very effective, pretty much impossible to chunk it.

As the instructions say, "use your putter swing and grip". I do carry one, and took out my pitching wedge, my 9 iron and gap wedge can carry most of the difference. I usually track my fairways hit, G.I.R., and putts. Even though I am not a great putter, I rarely take more than 32, and that's less than a par number. Fairways come in at about 50%, not good! But, G.I.R. is about 5 of 18(Crap!) The chipper helps me take less putts by getting on the greens sooner and closer ; no brainer!!

How does tis guy talk "down" to you, but directly to you at the same time? Excellent tutorial. Makes me glad I just purchased a chipper.

I took out my 3-iron and replaced it with a chipper. Best thing i did for my game. I'm still learning what I can do with it.

I have a chipper in the bag. I like to use it when I'm just off the green to get over the fringe. I could probably just about get away with using a 9 iron/PW but I find them a bit hot off the face in that scenario.

I carry a Cleveland Niblick 42 instead of either a 60 or a 3 iron. I have zero doubt it saves me 2-3 strokes as an 8 handicap, particularly for tight lies and the sneaky use is the 100 yd sand trap. What cracks me up is the buddies who chuckle about it, then they chunk a shot and take 2 more to get down when I get up and down. Go ahead and chuckle while I take your money. Again.

5 handicap have the Odyssey chipper putter in my bag the last 5 years.You will use it more times than a long iron

Great timing I was looking at these today, maybe get one for fun,

I have an old Spaulding chipper that I found behind a play it again sports. It’s automatic 135.

I have a chipper from Tour Edge called the Bazooka. I took out my 3 iron b/c I can never hit that flat thing straight. I use the club every time I barely miss the green especially if the fringe is a long cut. Pops me right out all day. Never thought about using it from the trap though that’s pretty crazy but maybe worth a shot if the lip isn’t too high. Thanks for the video man ✌🏻

Thanks so much, I bought one that is a mallet type ..i had a blade on and didn't like it ..but i inherited that one ... Your video was super thorough ..it gave me a good idea when and where to use it

Might as well buy one of those wedges with the enormously wide bounces.

I know this is an older video but I recently bought a Dunlop chipper putter at Goodwill paid $3.00 for it. Still learning the roll out but I can also hit this club 170 yards. This could be one of my favorite clubs.

Perfect time for this review! Just ordered a Wilson Harmonized from Amazon. I’m decent from around the greens but want to use this for very short shots when I can . Why not make the game easier?

Used one yesterday and loved it. Now I own one.

Great video my friend! Thanks! I'm gonna order one this week. 😁👍

Knock off Cleveland chipper with a 3/4 swing average 145 to 150 with decent accuracy. Got rid of 8,9 and p wedge. Will use it this year in my clubs one club tournament.

I love my chipper. Anything within 6 feet off the green in the short stuff works great. Doesn't work so good from the rough.

Nice demo and liked the honest comments and sure not everyone will agree--that's life. Seriously, Matt, you could swing a mop and get good results.

Am a big fan of the chipper, it gives a lot more control for a high handicapper.

This is a good video in explaining what the product can really do and its value to the average or mid to hi-handicap golfer if he or she opts for a chipper club. I've read some decent reviews on Pinemeadow equipment and again, they provide good value for the customer/golfer.

I've had a chipper in the bag for years - found a very inexpensive one (£8 or $10) and thought it would be worth a try. I don't have to worry about dropping another club as I only have 12 in the bag. Other areas I find it to be useful, apart from around the greens, are from places where a proper backswing is hampered or there is an obstacle close to the ball, e.g. a tree. The control over the direction gives me more confidence that trying to hit a wedge or iron - I've managed to hit 60 to 70 yard shots out of the trees, and I'm not worried about damaging a more expensive club.

Thx MSG! Very cool that you actually would have a video on this as many feel its an illegal club. Coming back to the game after yrs and yrs...chipping is my only struggle spot left...this video helped a lot as I have a wicked case of the yips and its killing my score. Gonna give it a try,

I tried one for the first time today and I was impressed !

Always interesting material. My game I’m always around the green or green side bunker on my second shot. I usually use my 50 or 54 degree wedge sometimes good sometimes not so good. Your tips have got me back down in the low eighties, thank you. Be safe and check your camera before filming appeared to be some smudges or water on the lens but then being in Georgia in august it was probably sweat🥵 love ya brother

Today (03/30/22) I pulled out of my garage bag a Ray Cook Chipper. I must haven bought it 4-5 years ago and used once on the course with little or no practice with the expected poor results. This morning before seeing your video I did exactly everything that you did, even trying to hit over a bunker and out of a sand trap and my results were close to yours. I'm going to game it tomorrow and see if I can improve on my chipping/score?

Rick Shiels reviewed one similar and gave it to several seniors at his club to test. Told them to "use your putter swing" and NONE of them could do it. Even with him telling them what to do, they're mind just wouldnt allow it and they all swung it like a wedge... LOL... Was painful to watch....

I just took my new Cleveland smart sole 4 "c" to the range today. I think it's 42 deg loft and about as long as my other wedges. It was great! I was able to nail my targets from 100 yards and in, knowing it would roll out a bit. Closer in will be easy peesy :0)

Bought a cheap double sided chipper once, obviously only used it playing with friends because it's not legal. I wanted to know 2 things, if it was any use & if it was any good for left handed shots from a bad lie. It was a brutal club, I found it best used for getting out of rough or behind trees when there was a risk of damage to a club. I also found I could hit it straight as a die for about 150 yds & played a few holes solely using the chipper inc as a putter. It performed admirably, but like you say it had little "touch" to it. I think it's worth having one for wrong handed shots from a bad lie if you can get the appropriate hand, & they can be fun to use as a type of rough rescue.

This guy is awesome. So calm. Like Steve from Blues Clues

Hello again Matt! After waiting for my chipper about 2 weeks ago, it finally arrived yesterday😃. I took it out to try on the practice green on the course but didn't get to use it during the round yet. I found that most of the balls started on line and staying pretty straight like you shared here. It was really easy to chip with and i even had a friend who was having hard time chipping with his clubs tried it and he too was impressed by this chipper 😃👍. I am going to practice with it and also find out if it is legal to use in tournaments because i would love to keep it in my bag if i do no get DQ 😂. Let me know if you or anyone here who knows for sure if this chipper is legal for competition. Thank you all in advance and thank you so much for introducing this chipper here Matt! 🙏

My chipping was horrible so I decided to buy the square strike and my chipping has never been better. Even when I miss hit it the ball goes somewhat straight. Its lowered my score by 4 strokes.

Definitely need one, my wedge chipping has been awful and definitely a problem in my game

I found one by the green at my local course and nobody claimed it for a week so I took it and have “chipped” in multiple times this year with it

I bought a knock off square strike wedge from a Dunhams sporting goods store for $20 and I think I'll throw it in the bag for tomorrow's round! I don't really struggle around the greens but it may provide some fun and entertainment! 🇺🇸🐊🇺🇸🏌️‍♂️⛳🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

Use the Mr shortgame 10 video shortgame series, you won't need anything like this. I'm on video 4 and my chipping confidence has gone from zero to 80%. Ps like Mr shortgame I don't get anything for this😁

Maybe a video of 3 shots with that then 3 with 7 iron and see which wins 👍🏻 I like to bump on with my 3wood if needed, great video

I personally use it.Short low shots around the green,it’s perfect.Hey were all trying to lower scores.

I use a Square Strike wedge, it works. Saved a lot of strokes.

good review Matt...bought one...keep 'em coming.

Who is counting clubs just put it in the bag.

It's hard to take a spot in your bag with a chipper versus more versatile clubs. I love my 50, 54 and 58 degree wedges along with your instructional videos.

I have one and love it

MSG......thank you, this info on chipper was interesting and beneficial

If you're going to get a chipper, why not use the Cleveland Smart Sole C? They've made them for like 4 years and forgiving, game improvement clubs are what Cleveland does.

I use a 7 iron for most chip and runs , way more controllable , more like putting getting it rolling quickly and 51 for any other chips , 60 lb for high soft shots short sided or over bunkers , 56 sw for thick rough or very fluffy sand shots . But chipping can be done with any club , people over complicate chipping , finding a landing spot and trying to use the wrong club for the distance carry roll out ratio ,keep it simple this is the ratio , lob wedge 60 ratio 1/1 one yard carry 1 yard rollout , sw 1/2 1 yard carry 2 yards rollout , gap or 52 1/3 1 yard carry 3 yards rollout and so on down through the clubs . Go to a chipping green mark out 14 yards and start 1 yard off the green , with a 60 throw it halfway and see how far it rolls with your stroke , once you have this rollout figure you are set , now you can pick any landing spot and step it out from your ball position to the landing spot the to the flag , eg 16 yards to the flag you want to land it 8 yards on lob wedge is 1/1 throw it to the 8 yard landing spot it will roll the other 8 to the hole . Or 56 sw 1/2 throw it 4 yards on and roll 12 yards to the hole .

Hey Matt, just caught this video today. I'm using the Cleveland Smart Sole "C" wedge which a form of a chipper but is different. More upright like this one but shorter like the putter. Less offset as well. Give it a try, most interesting.
