I am a terrible golfer, especially chipping, but still love to play and always look for ways to improve. Fortunately, I ran across a used Ping Chipr that was heavily discounted and in near perfect condition, great for me as again I'm not great and a Ping guy. Picked it up and I absolutely love it! Having played golf for roughly 5-6 years, one thing I have never done is chip in a shot. First day of practicing with this club I was able to chip in 3 shots! Here's what I don't agree with that a lot of these golf channels have said. They all mention this club isn't that great in unideal lies. FALSE!! At first it was not the best option for rougher lies. But, after about 10-15 attempts you find the sweet spot for hitting this club in rough spots and it still works tremendously well! If I can hit it great out of a bad position, shoot anyone should too.

You stated it's a 42-degree iron, but it's actually 38.5 degrees loft with an 8-degree effective bounce. It can be ordered just like other Ping irons to change the lie using its color system. The black dot has a 70-degree lie. Depending on the color dot selected, it can add up to +5 or down -4 lie angle. The 35" length can be customized from -4" to +3" in 1/4" steps or furnished with a steel or graphite shaft. It also has three different grip thickness selections.

I put this straight in the bag with no practice for a quick last minute round. My fourth shot with it was a chip in from 35 yards for birdie. I’m not terrible at chipping but I found myself using my 9 iron around the green 4-5 times per round (my preferred bump and run club) and I had room in my bag so I gave it a shot. It’s become my favorite club. I think nearly all mid handicappers could benefit and definitely all high handicappers.

Great video, I have one and while not a bad chipper I'm definitely better with it. I've used it as far out as 91 yards dropping it 11 feet from the hole.

Most average golfers don't need 14 clubs, so there is room in their Bag for a ChipR. Considering that most of us weekend warriors haemorrhage shots around the Green putting this Club in play would seem like a no-brainer👍👍

If I’m short-sided I just open up my stance, swing along my toe line rather than target line (thus increasing the loft) and it’ll pop up and settle quicker. Also, before getting my chipper I was having to carry 4 or 5 different clubs from the cart to the green to make sure I had a club that was the best option. Now, it’s chipper and putter and go make whatever shot I need. Btw, I play my chipper with confidence up to 50 yards.

18.4 handicap and have it in my bag. Chipped in once 3 out of 4 rounds, have the space in bag so works for me

I didn't hear a word you said during that intro. I was just staring at that bag 😍

Depends on your course mine is a inland links so lots of chipping and running so if you have 9 8 pw sw etc you have to adapt to all of them. With this club it’s just the one and I can chip . If I’m in the rough I will use a sw simple . So I would say it’s a good buy

Great video indeed. I chip pretty darn good with my gi set gap wedge. For a golfer like myself that currently has their chipping honed in I am curious if you think the chipr would result in even better results and more holed chips?

Brilliant review 👌

Great honest review

Nice detailed review 👍🏼

That putter shot at the end is a lifesaver. But I still ordered a chipper

Thanks! Great content. What do you think carry vs rollout for this club is? 3:1? 2:1? I like Paul Runyun's Rule of 12 for chipping. Do you think this is more like a 9iron,PW or SW when using that rule? Thanks again!

Decelerates in the rough and duffs it. This club goes through the rough just fine. Even very well. The extra weight helps too. It is only limited by your imagination. Like all clubs really.

Could the different grip marks mean a longer/shorter chipping outcome? It would make sense to grip it higher for a longer chip, and lower for a shorter one, without changing the swing length.

Okay good with tight lies around the green, but what about in some thicker stuff (with a decent lie) near the green?

Great review ❤

If you'd be in light rough, you probably wouldn't be able to putt and it's easier to chunk or blade the 9 iron...

I can't help but wonder why these clubs don't have 45° of loft instead of the 38 they do. I think the major problem with reviews from scratch golfers and pro's regarding a club like this is that the elite golfers have such higher expectations. It's ok saying you need lift and speed from the rough but for high handicappers that generally means it's flying through the back of the Green at knee height. Higher handicap golfers would be better off just learning to be realistic to their skill set and just accepting that getting the ball out of its crappy lie and on to the green is a win.

why buy a rolex when a timex will do? because I wanted one. lol

Well I guess they did deliberately miss out the WE in ANSWER (ANSER), and that turned out ok for PING.

Sorry Ash, I'll give up before I use one of those...or any of those types of clubs 😳😳😳

dont worry about what you CANT do with the club....JUST CHIP BABY !!!!!!!

3.16 I would putt that...

James Robinson seems to have no problem hitting multiple types of shot with this club? Maybe it’s the Indian and not the arrow?! 🤔

I think these (reviews) are just a way to try and shame gullible golfers into needless and unnecessary golf lessons ....so go and get you some easy to hit clubs and have a good time out there because I have a life l got shit to do other than spend all my time pounding balls ...ps These kinds of clubs help with pace of play tremendously

You uk KZfaq (golfers) kill me... with your stuggles to find reasons or room in your bag for stress free chipping let's be honest almost no one uses all 14 clubs

Good video, but you said everything so many times. Would have been much more watchable if it was 5 mins.

You don't know how to use the club .It can do more than just bump and run.

Hell I like to play golf not practice
