BIGGEST GOLF CHEAT FOUND and ITS LEGAL 

Picked up a chipper from a local charity shop for £1. I cleaned it and used it last week. First time I ever scored an Eagle. It now sits comfortably with my 52° and 56° MP Series RAW Black Ox wedges. When it comes to personal enjoyment of Golf, I use every tool available to have fun

Golf stores around the world are going to be wondering WTF is going on with people coming in to buy chippers

Bought my smart sole Cleveland chipper a week ago with graphite shaft. Love it already. Looks great and the shaft flex helps launch the ball without effort. Just a matter of distance control now.

I bought the Cleveland chipper a couple of weeks ago since watching you guys having so much fun with it and I love it. I agree that’s it not necessarily “better” than a wedge but it is definitely a lot less thinking involved.

I've just started using the same Odyssey chipper and its brilliant. Using a putting stroke to chip makes some of these shots a lot easier than using a wedge.

I use my 7 wood for these types of shots, plus that gives me a club to use off the tee/fairway!

I like the bump 8 iron with a putting stroke. Gives me a similar result and confidence around the green.

For those of you making fun of people using chippers or for those of you who say chippers are for golfers with poor skill you are wrong. I have always had a decent short game but still wanted to improve. I bought the Callaway X-act tank 37* chipper a few years ago. I love it more and more every day! My putting is now averaging under 31 putts per round based on my last 80 rounds on 14 different courses. Last year at the World Amateur Handicapped golf tournament in Myrtle Beach, I won a $225.00 skin with a chip in birdie using my chipper. During my last 3 rounds of golf, I have had 5 chip ins! The golfers I play against might go 3 rounds without a single chip in. (64 year old golfer here).

I vote for the crossy wedge! Just bought one at a discount to help through the muddy offseason chipping. Turns out it was the black finish too. The Odyssey will not rescue me to literally get out of the woods. And I like it being 5 degrees more lofted

I love mine, I bought the ACT TANK as a brand new golfer! 37degrees, same as an 9 iron but the putting stoke makes so much more sense

Everything comes around! Forty years ago a chipper was the club to have!😊

The only thing I would say is with the chipper u were chip & running the ball would you be as good in longer rough around the greens

Here are some things to consider when buying a chipper, Double-sided head: Chippers with double-sided heads aren’t allowed in regulated golf. The USGA states that all irons must have a single-sided head to qualify. Putter grip: Using a chipper with a putter grip makes it illegal to use in regulated matches. Longer than a 7-iron: isn’t allowed in regulated play. Appendages that help with aim: Like irons, your chipper can’t have any arrows or other graphics that help with aim.

I have one and I absolutely love it. Mid and high handicap golfers should ALL take the 3 wood or your longest iron out of the bag and putt one of these in the bag. You will lower your scores. It's certainly not for every shot around the green but what it does, it does very well. No stigma to lower scores.

Good video Coach! It's pride that stops us amateurs using clubs like that. Exactly what Mark said about being green side in two and duffing chips and scrambling a 6 😭

Can't wait for the course vlog!

I bought the Cleveland Smart Sole 4 C, G and S wedges. Love them!! I am chipping near pins now (after practicing and dialing in the distance control), gapping from 120 yards without worrying about thinning it and getting out of the bunkers in 1 without even opening the face with S. These 3 clubs reduces 5-8 extra strokes per round for me over the past month. I am a 25 handicap so I need them. I know a scratch golfer that uses a chipper at my club - he uses it from between 10 - 120 yards. Amazing club but you need to practice the distance control!

I had a chipper in my bag for 2-3 years, loved it, it wasn’t an expensive one either, but boy did it save me shots around the green. I don’t care what people think, take whatever help you can get and don’t worry about the golf snobs. Use one if your chipping around the green is god awful😁👍

I have, and use, the Ray Cook Silver Ray Chipper for certain shots, and I use my 8 Iron for other shots...They both work well...And, both take practice!!!

Most golfers should have a chipper…the traditional wedge is usually a technique issue

Coach says “I just like that I don’t have to think” 😅 I know the feeling

I've been using the Wilson chipper for about 7 years. Will never take it out of my bag.

Tried those square strike chippers but they felt awful, so stumped up and got the Cleveland and it has transformed my short game, feels good, confidence has grown and therefore scores have come down, thought Coach would get one as well but has gone down Odyssey route.

Liked even more for Mark looking like he’s gone to England away 🤣

I initially bought a Tour Edge (cause it was half the price of the Cleveland) which is shaped much like the Odyssey Matt has. I was not happy with how it performed so picked up the Smart Sole. The turf interaction is so much better with the shape of the Smart Sole. I like how easy it is to pop the ball up even out of flat lies like they were doing. Does not replace my 56 when the ball is in some taller grass, but it is still a very versatile club and worth making room for IMO.

I have bought a chipper I love the child-like giggles, where it's like, we shouldn't like it, but we do. keep making great videos!

Yes, but you would not be seen dead at the club with the boys, with a chipper in your bag!!! 😂

Loved that. I used to have a chipper many moons ago when it was so frowned upon😅. Interested to know if you would carry it in Winter or rainy weather🤔. Would love to see a test on that for curiousity👍👍

I love my Cleveland chipper, even from 40 yards it’s fantastic

I’d love to try a chipper..my only hesitation is that most of the greens in my area are usually elevated

YES!! I would game a chipper Mark and Coach. I already game a smart sole sand wedge and have been on the verge of getting a Cleveland chipper for 12 months. But now Mark Parfield has gone and done a Delia (everyone sold out of Cranberries when Delia used them) and you can't get one for love nor money. Drat

Have a Cleveland Smart Sole Chipper 42* Great club that I can use from about 70 yds out. Had problems convincing friends to use chipper. Now they can't leave it behind & have fun

I like the simplicity and idea of a chipper, however I can play a 'chipper' shot with a 6, 7 or 9 iron depending on lie, what's between me and the hole, distance to hole etc

Love to see the chipper making an appearance in the coaches bag! Bring back the magic hands

I love my chipper. Probably, besides my putter, the most important club in my bag. And, stress-free!

I bought the Cleveland....it has a little more loft than the Oddessey does and I like that it pops up a little better.

I'd love to see the chippers compared to say, 7i or 9i with the same swing; it seemed that the low bump and runs that Mark was hitting with his chipper looked like the old-school 7i low bumps into the hillside. The wedge, hitting it higher and having it land soft is a completely different shot.

I got an old Dunlop chipper from a thrift store 5 years ago and have been using one ever since, I upgraded a couple years ago to a putter length and lie angle from Powerbilt at 32°

I like the look of the Cleveland, had one that looked like a putter before and it performed great.

Got a odyssey Tank chipper which i use all the time around the green and if i need to chip out around trees and bushes but looking to get a Ping ChipR to go with my Ping Irons. Must say it does annoy my playing partners when I chip straight in the hole.I also still use my 58 and 60 wedges if the ball is sat down in deep grass . The more you use it Coach the more confident you will become with it

Mark looking like a lad at a festival the Happy Mondays are headlining 😂

Thanks for the video! It’s two different shoots. Perhaps compare chipper vs 8 iron?

I bought a £15 slazenger chipper just to try it as I was shanking some of my chips !(horrible) It's just a long putting stroke and gives me more confidence! I'm a 10 handicap so not a beginner ill try any thing to make the game more enjoyable! Good luck with the channel Coach!

I've an Acer XR chipper 37° but I've never used it. Will give it a go this year

Another great video. Thanks chaps. I had the previous generation odyssey chipper for a few seasons. Bifs were really bad and a dime a dozen. It was good for 10ft or less shots from the fringe or green side rough. I sunk a few. Anything further away from the hole than that I would get more accuracy and better consistency from a stick with a rock tied to it. The face was so hard at impact. I think they need a putter insert in it. I traded that thing in for a box of titleist and a summer shandy. I recently found an Adam's chipper at a resale sports shop. The face is really hot. With the right touch my results are really good with that one. I find that a chipper is the right club in the right scenario just as you guys mentioned. Looking forward to the ping chipr because it has aggressive grooves for spin. Leave it to Ping.

I play a smart sole chipper thanks to Mark and his review

I use a 56 Sure Out 2 if I am in the bunker or need to get a hop over something, and I use a 45 mazel for anything inside 100 yards that can be bumped , I have the chip yips with wedges and it ruins my fun.

Bought the Ping Chip R soon as it was released, what a game changer ! Tried the Odyssey didn't like it bit clumsy looking for me

Great stuff guys!! Worth mentioning the Cleveland C is 42 degrees. The Odyssey is 37 degrees. The Cleveland you can hit full shots. Can hood it and hit lower ones. Can open it slightly/move it up and hit med height shots with some spin. The Odyssey is a putter with loft pretty much and even has the white hot face which is pretty soft especially compared to a wedge chipper like the Cleveland C. I have owned both. The Cleveland C is by far and away the better more versatile club. High cappers like 20 plus get the Odyssey. Mid cappers 14 or so get the Cleveland C. And enjoy it. Awesome club.

If you benefit with a chipper, use it. The game should be fun.

I am one putting much more often with my "Crossywedge". It's a no brainer for me. I think it is "better" in some situations, and equal more often than I dreamed. It's not like I'm taking all the lofted wedges out of my bag. Choose the one that's best situationally. For me, and I assume most amateurs, the directional control is definitely better - for you guys, that's not an issue.

Struggling to get hold of the cleveland chipper, sold out everywhere 😭

I have a 9 hybrid 37 degrees I use as a chipper and living in the desert (Las Vegas) you need a rock club so you don't mess up your irons it works great for both

Can't believe you've gone this route. I think ill wait and see how successfull you are with it over a season, if it stays in the bag that long!

Could've swore i commented here back when I watched it... Maybe I didn't hit the comment button or something, lol! But basically I wanted to mention that the Odyssey chipper is 37 degrees while the Cleveland chipper is 42 degrees. So they might not be as comparable for the situation as you think as I'd imagine the Odyssey would have a bit more difficulty in this scenario due to the lower loft. That being said, I seen chippers come in a pretty wide range of other lofts. Wilson has a 32er. Top Flite makes 45ers, Mazel makes a 45, 55 and 60er. etc... So chances are people can find ones for their style. It also wouldn't surprise me if people just switched out their wedges for said higher lofted chippers if they take a liking to chippers for different situations.

Yes I would and I do! Smart Sole Chipper. Had it for a couple years now it gets a ton of use. I feel very confident with it in my hand standing over the ball. I even use it from 40-50 yds out. It’s amazing. Mark in a bucket hat? Yeah baby!!!

Apparently USGA and R&A don't see chippers as illegal so why not. The only regulations is the chipper cannot be a two-way or be fitted with a putter grip.

Got the Ping Chipr (new one that’s been out a year). Less of a risky club but I still need to practice with it - I get spin off it which can be unpredictable

I have a MacGregor MacTech X chipper and it is a directional weapon. I use Clevland RTX ZipCore wedges 50 and a 56. I have forsaken the 60 to make room for the chipper. I sometimes tilt up my 7i or 8i and grip down to chip, but I never seem to get as close as with the MacTech X chipper. I started playing golf in 2020 and I am a 24 hcp. My goal is 15-10 hcp for 2023. The chipper might make that happen. :)

No chipper in my bag for the foreseeable future. I'll use wedges and short irons instead.

Just picked up a Cleveland chipper on eBay because of these recent videos. Can’t wait to try it! I’ve always struggled with shots around the green.

I will not, I prefer to have an extra wedge to tighten the gapping within scoring range, but I can see it being useful for golfers that have difficulty chipping around the green.

I bought my Crossy chipper about 3 days before y'all put out your video on them. I had a decent short game before I got it but now its much better. I think it not only has to do with the chipper but with the confidence I have in it. By the way, I'm an old geezer so nobody laughs when I pull it out and one of my buddy's ordered one himself!

Can you compare Rinky vs. Chippy Mark? The idea being to save a club. Both have the flat bottom to help anti-duff. The nice thing about the chipper would be putter length and softer feel/insert over a Hybrid, I just don't like giving up a club as irrational as that is especially if a chipper helps more with strokes gained in a round.

Significantly more accurate with the chipper in terms of start line and target for both of you guys. Most of the bump balls were with the chipper. I just wonder if this could be accomplished with an 8 iron.

got one 12 months ago, love it. ideal around Royal north devon.

I use a Ray Cook. The shaft is more upright allowing you to stand closer to the ball. Bevelled and heavier clubhead. Deadly accurate. I hit the flagstick at least once a round. Like chipping with any club, you have to practice a method that works for you.

Thought we had a guest appearance from golf sidekick, with Mark in that polo & bucket hat haha

Used my Cleveland chipper 4 times this weekend. 3 up and downs and a chip-in. Ridiculously good.

You could just use a hybrid or a 9 iron if you have a tough lye ...Hate to give up a club just for a chipper.

I had an old hybrid 3 lying around, shortened the shaft to length of a wedge, and using it as a DIY chipper. Works like a charm. And I can give it a good swing as well :-)

I use my 5 wood. Not enough space in the bag for a chipper.

The smart sole 2.0c has been in my bag since it came out. It is my go to club for pretty much ever shot up to 70 yards. It will need to be ripped from my cold dead hand.

my issue would be losing the spot in my bag: the chipper aint gonna help from ae bunker, nor am I likely to use it from 115yds. However, what if there was a compromise? I had an odd idea: what if I swapped my 9i for a SGI super wide soled PW (I'm assuming here that it would be the same loft as my current 9i) and had that at the same loft and lie as my current 9i. It would then be a fantastic all purpose club around the green with which I could still hit at stock 150 shot and maybe even a 140 yd knock down.

Had one in my bag for ages. Love it.

Would a better comparison for this shot be testing the chipper vs an 8 or 9 iron? It could be the chipper or it could be chipping with less loft. I know amateurs typically grab the most lofted club and perhaps you and Mark have made videos previously about bump and running it but that seems to be all that’s happening here. Less loft and getting the ball running sooner tends to give more consistent results. I don’t think people need a new club just an ego check. 👍

Just the fact that Marks went passed the hole means they had a chance of dropping in and I like that with my chipper and yes you don’t have to think about it…..👍. The funny thing is I talked my mates out of using chippers a few years ago! 😂

Got nothing against chippers but if you can hit a wedge that crisp, that must feel so much nicer?!

Am testing out a Chipper in my bag this week and wanted the Cleveland Chipper but could not get one here in Ireland so managed to find another one, Spalding SP Chipper, for a fraction of the price that looks pretty similar to the Cleveland. Up to recently I've been using my hybrid for bump and run shots where I'm not confident with a wedge, and hoping the chipper with a shorter shaft will work just as well, if not better than the hybrid which can be awkward to use with its longer shaft.

I have three CBX2 wedges in the bag and I’m considering putting a chipper in

These are no longer available from Callaway, what’s up with that?

I had an X Act chipper, older version than yours and it’s really good. I got rid of it because I got terrorised for using it. Ive been toying with getting another but I’ve got no room in my bag anymore

Since adding a chipper to my bag I am now gaining strokes in the short game category. 7.4 handicap

I might just have to go test this chipper business haha thanks for the vid! When are we going to see another swing speed video?! How’s the training coming?

Another superb vid guys you are both so likeable - best and most enjoyable golf content on YT 👍🏆

I purchased a Pinemeadow chipping club. Everyone used to laugh at my chipping. They don't laugh anymore. On 1st day out dropped my score 10 shots and I have been delivering some epic payback ever since 😎

Been using the Cleveland Marxman Xact for years, gets me on the green every time....

"Scared of going the thin..." yep that's me lol Lack of time to practice and its killing my short game. Hence the reason why I'm gonna try one of these chippers. Thanks for uploading.

It’s funny, got a Cleveland chipper a few weeks ago. Honeymoon period, hit a lot of good shots with it, like most around 6 foot with a couple of tap ins. But I missed every 6 foot putt. I took it out one more time, horrible results from bad technique. Old flaws creeping back in. Back to my old bag set up, don’t really have room for it. Maybe later…

I'm curious how chippers hold up on heavily undulating greens. I chip with anything from 7 iron to my 64 degree lob wedge depending on the slant of the green and distance.

"I want to be that good without having to have magic"......absolutely tickled me ! lmao

Waiting for Mark to send my chipper...don't be greedy bruh...help a fellow dad out! Ha

I play off 3 handicap but my chipping is not good. I bought a Cleveland chipper before the season and it is saving my 2/3 shots a round. Toooo much ego in golf. Buy the club's that will do the job .

Don’t make me start looking at chippers PLEASE!!! My wife complains I spend too much on golf as it is! LOL Keep up the great content mates! Cheers from the US!

I’m a 5-6 handicapper. Always struggled with chipping but just can’t bring myself to use one of these even though I know I would score better. But to see PGA pros trying and recommending the chipper it has changed my mind. Bring on making the game as easy as possible.

I still have my Chipper in the garage, I’ve resisted putting it in the bag for a few years. I use an 8 iron for those sort of shots. I do how ever use a Cleveland smart sole 56 wedge, which I would recommend 👍

Why does Mark look like Kevin from "Kevin and Perry go large" 🤣

I’ve played long enough, won enough tournaments (not bragging), and now old enough that my only goal is minimum pain with maximum fun which equates largely to using my chipper anywhere around the green from say 50-60 yards and in.

I had this exact Odyssey chipper keyed up on Ebay the other day and couldn't pull the trigger.

I put one in my bag after marks first video. It definitely has advantages! Haven't taken out a club. If I had to I would take out my 54 in replacement. I have practiced very little with it but I am usually always long and get to see the break of the putt coming back and the ball always has a chance to go in
