One thing I like about the Cleveland chipper is that it has a little more loft than the Ping Chipper. I think 42 degs for the Cleveland versus 38 or 39 for the ping. Not a huge difference but mine seems to pop the ball up nicely like a wedge would and not as “bump and run”
@Alan_Edwards2 жыл бұрын
I agree. I also tried a Tour Edge chipper since it was half the price and it was more like a putter with an angled face. The sole on the Cleveland is what really makes it unique. The design just makes it easy to get some height on the ball quickly. With some practice you can pop the ball up from the dirt even. Love it.

I use it like a regular wedge a lot putting it in the front of my stance and hinging my wrists. It pops nicely out of any lie but still gets good roll. It may not be the best thing you can do but it’s very consistent which is generally worth more over a whole round rather than hitting 1-2 really good regular chips and a lot that land short or get bladed

I've made a lot of changes to my bag over the past few weeks to improve forgiveness and performance. One of the first things I did was to replace my previous wedges with the Cleveland Smart Sole 4 chipper, gap wedge and sand wedge as I'd been duffing many of my wedge shots w/n 100 yards. I also replaced my long irons with Srixon Z-U85 utility irons as my long irons were inconsistent in terms of both distance and accuracy. More recently, I've also added a high-moi face-balanced mallet putter (replacing my Ping B-60 putter) that better matches my pendulum putting style. At the moment, I'm shooting in the mid to high-80s and I'm hoping the changes in my bag will help me in my effort to get down to the low 80s/high 70s. I guess time will tell.

If it's a 50/50 between one of my wedges and my chipper, I go with the chipper. The putter length shaft makes for easier directional control. It's useful from 100 yards and in - also a great punch out option.

Excellent review Andy. Why not have a chipper and a sand wedge in this style of club? Chipper for the short chips/bump and run type shots and the smart sole sand wedge for getting out of and over bunkers. It still leaves you with a standard pitching wedge and gap wedge for those distance shots, whereas these 2 clubs would cover you from about 70 yards in.

Have been short chipping in house a lot this winter using Cleveland RTX6 46-58 wedges. I am good with the 46 and gets progressively worse down to the 58 which is poor compared to the 46. So many things often go wrong with the 58 compared to the 46. I also have a MacGregor MacTech X Chipper and it blows the wedges away. Much better directional and distance control compared to the wedges. The drawback with the MacTech X is that it has a sharp leading edge that snags into the carpet/grass. The RTX6 46 is much more for giving regarding snags because of its proper bounce. The Cleveland Smart sole Chipper seems to be the best of both worlds. I gladly trade away the 3W for a Chipper. A Chipper saves me more shots than the 3W.

I bought the Ping ChipR even though I am a pretty good chipper. My set was 44, 50, 54, and 58. Now it is 44, 50, 56 and ChipR. The 56 is my SW / LW. and I feel comfortable hitting over bunkers and out of rough with it. The ChipR is for around the greens and hitting bump and run shots with a lot of green to work with. I can still use my 50 for chipping too if I need a bit more loft. The reason it like the ChipR is because of the upright lie angle, shorter length and heavier weight. I think its made my bag more versatile.
@ronito8862 жыл бұрын
So my first time out with the ChipR didn’t fare well. I was tempted to return it but decided to invest time into how to properly swing it. I’m glad I did. After two 1 hour sessions around a green (I live on a golf course), I think I’ve got the feel down now. If I have a lot of green to work with and I’m hitting from the fairway or tight lie I can usually roll the ball to within 5-6 feet and often tap in distance. It just takes time getting to know it. There are plenty of shots where I’ll use my 56 or 50 to pitch or chip but I think the ChipR will be a great weapon too.

Nice comparison Andy. I already have the Cleveland chipper and the Smart Sole really sets it apart from others I have tried. It is a very versatile club for sure. You can get the chipper to pop the ball up with some practice but still need a some good wedges in the bag IMO. One thing the chipper excels at is getting the ball to pop up from a dead pan lie - not something easily done with a wedge or a 7 iron either, to you point. I am looking to get some game improvement irons but plan to go from PW up and then get some new specialty wedges startling with a GW. After watching this review, I am definitely going to check out the Smart Sole wedges. Nice job as usual.

I’m absolutely with you the Ping ChipR. That upright lie angle just helps keep the shot on target more than a regular wedge or 9 iron.

I have been using a Wilson Harmonized chipper while playing different courses, using a half set of clubs. I have a 56 wedge, and a 7 iron for alternative clubs near the green. The chipper needs practice on each green to work out the roll out amount. Using your putter stroke and aim at the hole, you can get a green read and possibly one putt if you get the distance pin high. The other use I have found is for chipping back into play, but hitting the ball harder makes the shot go higher, so delofting if under trees is needed.

You had said on another review that you'd not put the chipper in your bag because you didn't have the space. If you switched to all Cleveland Smart Sole Wedges (G,S,C) you could solve the problem. The sand wedge is 58 deg. It serves has a good sand wedge and can fit in for the seldom used lob wedge. I find the C wedge very versatile. I've used in for chip n run, approach and even out of the bunker. Finally, with the trio, you also get the gap wedge for those approach shots. Personally I don't care what other golfers say about my choice of clubs. It's the final score that counts.

Nice video and really interesting video as usual! Thanks! When I was young, maybe because of Seve Ballesteros, I was taught to use all irons to chip from 3-PW (the only real wedge was a sand-wedge a 56 degrees in those days). We used to do it depending on distance from the green with the putting stroke. The closer, the lower the loft, and as you got farther the higher the loft. I still do that. The chipper looks like a good all-around club, but your could do it using all irons being creative too. That worked with traditional lofts; don't know about power lofts. However, since speciality wedges appeared, I don't see much of the old-style of chipping anymore...

We use to use our 7 iron, our single wedge and putter for a whole range of different shops by manipulating loft. Golf has become almost too complicated by having too many different clubs.

I tried the Cleveland smart sole Chipper, the CBX2 wedges in 54 and 58, and the smart sole S wedge. Neither of the products improved my game in the long term. I would imagine if you are a 25-30 handicap, these might improve your game, but if you are below a 15 index, the only thing that will improve your game is actually learning to use a 54 to 58 degree wedge. Especially if you play greens that stimp at 11 to 12. You need to learn how to manage and use spin because you can't hit a chipper from decent rough and stop it on a stimp11 green. If you are playing old-style muni courses with very slow and hairy green; flat greens that have front run-ups, I can see a chipper being of some value. For the average person, the best option is to get a sandwedge fitted for the type of turf you play and then learn to hit 3-4 different style shots with it. Once you get the confidence your scores will plummet. The biggest mistake I see is most golfers not using the bounce on their wedges, you need to be about to throw the bounce into the ground and have confidence, once you can do that, you can pull off amazing shots around the greens. The chippers are a bit of a crutch to learning how to really hit shots around the green and I think Andy knows that, this is why you won't ever put a chipper in the bag.

Don’t quite understand why you choose to compare a chipper and a wedge rather than two chippers. Reduced the info I was looking for as I am looking at chippers only. The Cleveland C grind already has more loft than the Ping . My 2 cents

I didn’t compare them, I suggested they are two short game options

My hardest part of golf is from 200 yards to 20 yards from the flag.

For me the chipr as I tend to use a 7 iron a lot . Would of thought the chipr would not get the occasional blade in to the middle of the ball and it flies across the green like some wedge shots

Get them both. No one is counting clubs in your bag and everyone carries too many clubs anyway so take out clubs. Make it easy, golf is hard enough.

You can't have my Cobra LTD X LS driver nor my Cleveland smart sole chipper.......it ain't gonna happen. Chipper saves more strokes than any club in my bag from 50 yards and in .

Why didn't you test chipper against chipper? GW against chipper is two different shots.
