I used to use a odyssey tank chipper, but now that I'm using XL halo irons, it's no longer required. You can use most of the xl halo irons as chippers because of the big soles.
What is you thought regarding the Cleveland Solo C 4.0?
I have the Chipr and LOVE it. one putting for the first time ever since I can get it so close when just off the green. But I think Ping would argue that long range chips is not what the club was designed for. I'd still opt for my vokey for flighting a 20 yard shot, but the Chipr comes out whenever I'm on or near the fringe. even now, in times I would putt on the fringe, I go to the Chipr now! excellent club and works exactly as advertised
Golf is NOT a Winner's Game – it is a Loser's Game – i.e. it's all about the asymmetry of your bad holes/shots and not about your good shots; that is, it's so much easier to Double Boggy than to get an Eagle. The ChipR is about eliminating the Double Boggy on your scorecard and converting it into a Boggy or potentially an up&down for Par. That is why, for everyone not on Tour, this type of club is almost a no-brainer.
Prefer to use a wedge for "higher" chips and a high-loft hybrid for "lower" bump & runs around greens – chippers take up one slot in the bag but only have limited use in my opinion.
Just ordered one (2⁰ upright and 1/2" longer). Not expected until the end of Oct. But really looking forward to it.
Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthhh.Online Brünette und eine anderes Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
Best club I have bought this year. It is almost impossible to miss hit. So forgiving and well balanced. It has saved me shots anywhere that height is not an absolute requirement, and can be used anywhere from 90 yards and in.
Your videos are always the best I do receive a notification each time you post a new video. We will have regrets for things we did not participate in. Investments should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life by the way thanks for recommending me to Mr Chris Klein the crypto expert whom you said has helped you a lot he has really changed my life I'm grateful.
As far as I know there is no left hand version, to bad… Ping has 7 and 9 woods as left handed but no left handed chipper come on guys…
Not for me, I just cannot get me head around the idea of a 55 degree chipper – but I grew up playing on links courses so got very used to trying chip and run shots with a variety of irons so still comfortable with that.
That Mazel just looks like a Square Strike knock-off. The whole idea of the Ping ChipR is to remove some of the negative stigma of a chipper because it's high quality and from a premier club maker. Defaulting to the Mazel just brings us right back to the old chipper stigma. Just sayin'.
Please tell me the chipr is in the bag now.
Ordered mine for release date but still not got it yet
I think the chip r could be great for getting out the trees and back into play as well as around the greens
I would just like to see a Chippr Hi with a loft somewhere between 48-52. I tend to chip with GW or PW due to fast greens.
I bought a 3 loft set for around $100. But I decided on carrying only the 45*. Seemed the most versatile for the courses I usually play.
I also like the bigger sole of the Mazel style.
Great video. I’ve had a chipper in the past but it was so clunky & although it definitely helped, I wanted to develop my game without it. Now I mainly chip with my 9i and become good at it. That being said, this Ping Chipr is on my radar as it looks great and is built for around the green bump n runs. I think most of us would benefit from this.
yep a chipper will help. I am old school, wedges and irons for me. It takes practice, practice, practice. However, a chipper would be good for those that cannot practice as much. I spend hours around the green with all my clubs so I know what they do and how I need to setup and strike them. Thanks Andy!
The Cleveland has a hotter face but has a lot wider sole which is nice for thick rough. I also like that with the wide sole I can swing down with impunity and not worry about hitting it fat. I was under a limb the other day and needed to go over a large bunker and was able to put the Cleveland in the back of my stance and “punch” it and it came out low and straight but when it hit the green it checked.
I think any of these clubs will be fine if you get used to the flight and speed it gives you.
Which club did you take out to put the chipper in?
Had mine for two weeks. Love it love it love it. It’s so easy to hit pure but looks like an iron. It has simplified my chipping I used to try and use an 8 iron, gap wedge, 54 and 60. Now I get to a chip and I say can I use the chipr or do I need loft? If it’s loft I go to my 60. Only two clubs. I then use my 60 the way Pete Cowen teaches upright like the chipr heel off the ground and use natural forces like a putting stroke. It’s simplified my short game which is making me get closer to the hole. Highly recommend this club to anyone. Oh and I’m a 5 handicap!
I have an ez roll chipper (bought recently )works well around the green, checks up nicely and I've used a chipper back in the 90's with same results @ well below the price ping is wanting
Ordered one because of your previous videos honestly 🙂 (ChipR)
And I looooove mine
Always been a bump-and-run player, so it just suits my eye and game very well 🙂
I have played the Smart Sole 2.0C since it came out back in the day. Great club from a variety of lies and situations and I loved using and playing that club
When I first saw the Ping ChipR – really loved how it looks like an iron and wanted to get one to try. Have been playing for a few weeks and I am loving as much as the Smart Sole 2.0C. The Ping does everything the Smart Sole 2.0c does and also looks really good in the bag.
Both are great and really can’t go wrong with either.
I have the mazel chipper in 45° and it rocks up to about 30 yards. You can full swing it from 100 yards and it’s still fairly accurate, but I’d rather use my gap wedge.
Here's my issue, I've had the ChipR now for 2 weeks and have been out to the range multiple times and played 2 rounds with it. I can't chip with it, not like I can a wedge. I'm really on using it to pitch. At this point I'm thinking about trading it in. Really frustrated.
Excellent video as usual Andy 👍 I have a ChipR and it’s great ✊ but I also carry my wedges 50 54 58 it’s at the top end I took my five wood put to get the ping in 🙌
Not for me thanks Andy, though interesting. Have always enjoyed the challenge of improvising for "feel" shots around the green. I bet a lesson with a pro could provide a sound basis for chipping without buying another bat. Cheaper too!
I enjoy your videos, good knowledgable content and very entertaining. As for a chipper, I say learn the correct method, hold the club upright more, using all your clubs that are already in the bag. If it is a shot that requires an 8 iron loft to get on the green and then roll out to the pin, use an 8 iron. otherwise you would need many more chippers with different lofts. The chipper works great for the one shot loft that is required but no so good for the other shots required. One question I have for you maybe its because I am a new member but when you talking about clubs can you please explain what shafts you are using, I would really like to know complete details, like flex, type, ect. and why? Are you all stift shafts ? or different shafts depending on the club? Thanks,
Started playing golf June 2021 at the age of 55. Lots of beginner frustrations obviously but by far chipping around the green was killing me. Bought a ping chipper partly after watching yours and other reviews. Overall I have to say that this club has changed my game around the green. Now this could be that I’m a novice and not able to get the best out of the wedges etc but it has made my game less frustrating and more enjoyable👍 Really enjoy your videos keep them coming.
I know you have a video testing the Cleveland Smart Sole4 Chipper. It would be interesting comparing to the Ping ChipR.
At 9.50 is that a Welsh lawn mower😂
Loving the ping. Now I’m trying to figure out whether I should upgrade from old PXG Forged to new.
I wonder of the ChipR can be bent 2 degrees weaker.
