I bought the golf 'CHEAT STICK' from Sports Direct... for £14.99 

This is great advice. I am nearly scratch and I carry a chipper in my bag. I use it mainly to advance the ball out of the woods or bad lies after a bad drive. I don't mind breaking a cheap chipper but don't want to break an iron out of a rocky or rooty lie. These chippers are also very good for tight lies where my goal is to just get the clubhead on the ball and get out of trouble. I see many golfers carry 4 wedges; they'd be better off leaving one of them at home and replacing it with a chipper.

Thanks for watching guys! 1000 likes on this video would somewhat cure my anxiety from the last Trickshot 😂

You build a bag around the game you play or the course you play. If that means you use a 5 or 7 wood, a set of hybrid irons, a 70 deg wedge or a chipper then so be it.

These clubs are more versatile than what is shown in this video. Where these clubs really excel is from the rough and semi-rough around the green area. The extra head weight easily drives through the grass and I can guarantee you will save shots using one of these chippers. But a lot of people won't buy/use one as they are too proud to have one in the bag. I'm a 12 handicapper and one of the reasons I play to that handicap is because after struggling with wedges and lost strokes, plus countless hours of practice with wedges, I picked up a 37 degree Spalding chipper and within a few hours of practice am already saving shots over 18 holes. Why make the game harder when it can be easier and MUCH more fun and less frustrating when you chip another one close, or at least onto the green. For the record I use a 37 degree Spalding chipper and using one of these for me is a no-brainer.

I have been using a copper for years very useful has helped me go from 28 to 13 handicap

Oh my........... that effort ....😳 You deserve way more likes. ~!!!!!

Chippers work. Learned how to use one when I played par 3’s as a kid. Callaway offers one and actually has a decent video on its use

The bloopers here just encapsulate the struggle and frustrations of the everyday golfer, loved it!

Buy it left handed (or right handed if you are a lefty). It is such an AMAZING tool for those punch out shots and shots and are awkward in your normal stance. You won't regret it.

I choke down my 7 wood to do essentially the same thing. I do realize the lie angle is a bit different and the chipper is more upright as is a putter and shorter. The 7 wood works great and the ball gets slightly airborne and just rolls out as a putt. Really simple...

That comment about playing that chipper if you were playing for money really hits home Simon. I reckon I would be hugely more consistent with it than my wedges.

Idk man most of those you could just put anyhow and probably lag better too. I’m not sure how well it would work with a 50% rough and 50%or less green to pin distance. Great video new sub

Superb. Crossfield and Lockey are all over the chipper…….£14.99 is insane value

One of your most entertaining vids, great to throw in a quirky light hearted one now and then

I've got a 55 degree mazel square strike knock off in the bag and I love it for when I'm feeling a bit yippy with my wedges. Where I play I've got a creek in front of the green on the 2nd hole and I use it all the time for getting over that. That 2nd hole is also 500+ yards, dog leg right, has a pond, trees, stone wall, clubhouse, nightmares.

Simon...Im always jealous of the deals your able to find. Im in America and it seems like everyone does all their research. Im also not in a golf rich region of America so they arent always trying to get rid of their stuff all the time. I love your model of finding and fitting clubs to a golfer without spending a ton. My bag is currently under $700 and it's perfect for me until I can get better. Thanks for your videos!

Great video, all tips are welcome👍 I could watch an hour of your bloopers🤣🤣

Loved the ending! I actually loved the whole video! Thanks

off to sports direct.... got down to 12, playing 3 times a week, now due to change of circumstances.... once a month..... struggling hugely around green..... hopefully they have one..!!!

😂 Those bloopers are great.

Great video. That tough greenside shot is a five hybrid for me.

I use my Cleveland chipper around the greens all the time. 50 yards and in, it is money.

Brilliant bloopers. You have the patience of a saint!

Love the bloopers! 🤣🤣 Great video as always Simon 👍

I have a very old chipper, unbranded, and I like it a lot. It has horizontal grooves and can even spin the ball a little. I use it 50 yards and in. But I struggle to get it any farther than that consistently. Would you recommend upgrading to the odyssey? Thats what im considering. Would it potentially spin more than an old unbranded one considering the odyssey face? Would the odyssey insert allow it to be hotter, maybe making it easier to go longer with it, potentially? Would a new Amazon chipper from say, Mazel or pinemeadow, perform just as well for less money? Unfortunately there is no opportunity to try them. So I'm trying to have some info before I spend almost $100 Thanks!

I bought one of these about 10 rounds ago. I'm so much better around the greens it's ridiculous. Yes, it's one dimensional, but it's a dimension that most golfers will benefit from putting it in their bags. Take out a wood or long iron. This will help you much more. It's never coming out of the bag. My buddies can laugh at me all they want as I kick their asses with it. LOL

Love the effort taken to make it look effortless! Perfect for anyone who is twitchy over chips

I had the hands of a sturgeon when it can to chipping. One chip two putt. No strike constancy, low shots., limited distance control and the likes. Bought a cleveland chipper and used it for every short game shot for most of a season. The remainder of the year my chipping improved greatly and now seasons later short game is one of my strengths and I save a number of strokes per round. Don't make it harder because the game is hard already. Give it a try because you won't improve your short game execution with a $700 driver.

I’ve got a square strike and a Cleveland C wedge. Love both of them and carry one or the other.

Thank you for making me laugh at the end of a week of very few laughs.

I spent a tenner on a Texas Chipper and it has helped around the greens 😎

Those bloopers were class! 🤣🤣🤣 Subbed!

Crossfield and Coach Lockey love their chippers. Scorecard has no pictures. :D

As someone said to me recently 'if you need a handicap you can't play'! Use a big driver, hybrid, mazel, long/huge putter, chipper....whatever enjoy.

One of your best Simon. Great stuff 👍😂😂

I think chippers are coming back in fashion a little bit. Mark Crossfield currently uses one.

That is really good Simon and I thought you were a wizard around the greens

I've got a few of these lying around gonna have to take it out next time for the missis 👌👌

Great to see the trick shots again its been a while

I think that anyone with a 10+ handicap is allowed to carry one of these as an additional club. I dropped my driver last year for 3 months and put one of these in the bag. I shot the lowest scores I ever have.

I bought a cheap chipper for a bit of fun after seeing Mark Crossfield raving about his, I've got to say it's a great club to have in the bag, it's in and it's not coming out!

i bought one about a week ago and am still thinking through how to cover or disguise any Slazenger branding.

Had a £15 Jaxx "Texas Wedge" for years. Best club in the bag.

I already have one in my bag that doesn't waste a club Simon....its called a hybrid!!!

Hahaha! I was well on my way to go and buy a chipper immediately until the bloopers... Will still consider it though

Lol! Brilliant mate….. so funny I watched it twice! I used to have a Dunlop one of these…. It would chip from both sides so you could use it right or left handed… My mates used to rip the p*** out of me for using it so I didn’t bother in the end! Great vid mate… cheers… 👍

Can you do a video on the new mavrik 22 driver and see if it’s the same as the original mavrik ? Looks the same but about 45% cheaper from new ?

More more more ( my FAVORIT is still the putting video though - recommend it to all of my friends )

Having now watched the whole vlog, I am wondering why you are using this club for when the ball is less than a foot off the green and in still nicely cut dense lawn !? For me, in this instance, the Putter is the right club. I tend to use my chipper putter from 10 yards to 2 yards off the green or when I really do need to chip over something.

Using muscle back blades and using a "jigger" as well.

Very enjoyable content, cheers Si.

That’s a great one. How many bloopers. Love it. This is the way to show how you make the videos ⛳️

Not many golfers are going to have the hours to practice their wedge game and They are not playing in the Masters etc So get real and use a chipper Good on you Simon

👍😁👍 Really appreciate the hard work, man golf is hard, some of the time ain't it 🤗

I normally use my 7 to 9 iron, toe down upright shaft. Then I play the chip with a putter swing.

I have a chipper which comes out occasionally for confidence and l play off 16

These have been around for over 25 years. A 7/8 iron that looks like a putter.

See a lot of yanks use chippers missed a lot of shots long with it are they hard to use ?

Its not a training aid. It's just like a specialist 60 degree in a way. It's specifically designed to do a certain job on the golf course. The lie and design of the club is like no other. You just can't bring the technique for a chipper across to your wedges. They are poles apart. If you have chipping issues and you have room in the bag then why not give one a go? It could make golf much more fun. And spend as much as you like.

Love my chipper, used it for years. If your mates take the piss out of you for using a particular club, you need to find new golfing buddies.

2 things. Save yourself 15 quid and get your 8 iron out and do same thing. And I was open mouth shocked when I saw there was a chipper for over 100 pound. Who is buying that lol

Was looking at sports direct for a 12 set, but to expensive..

I see your a Newbury boy….good vid

Can we get a comparison to a hybrid in the same usecase?

Bad idea to give up one of your other 14 clubs for this one. Use your 8 iron swing if like a putter, same results and you haven't compromised your bag..

"Cheat stick?" Sam Torrance will sue you for copyright infringement 🤣🤣

I've been practicing my wedges at tge football park next to me. If my wedges are rubbish im buying one of these 🤣🤣.

3:24 at this point in the video, I expected him to make that.

I've had a £7 Donnay one of these from sports direct for about 15 years. Has always been a deadly club to which I'm always accused of cheating from my pals

I don't get the reluctance to put these clubs in the bag. As for being one dimensional. I bet it is more versatile than a 460cc driver. From memory, the cheat stick thing was also applied to the early hybrid clubs.

awesome video I have one of those chipped in about 20 times last year with it. guys thought I was cheating

Great video simon like to see more content like this

What a club 🤣

I had to sub after watching this one

I use my hybrid. It means i don’t have to carry an extra club

I wouldn't call it a "cheat" stick !! It's just another golf club that takes practice and skill to perfect consistency, just like any other club. You got a good price there though !!

Enjoyed Simon, the bloopers are not necessarily a good advert for the chipper. If it’s that hard for you, what about us mere mortals.

After watching this I bought one and the head snapped off before I got through my bucket of range balls. I wouldn't recommend buying one at all.

hi Simon what are your thoughts on the mizuno stz 3 wood brand new for £150. is it a good club for beginner/high handicapper golfer and what are the good things about it

Srixon making Dunlop/slazenger clubs is also a thing...

7 iron is what I use, same difference really.

Waste of bag space unless you're useless at playing simple bump & run shots. Saying that, I used the same chipper when I got back into playing and it did a decent enough job at the time

What a great video 👏

My friend bought a cheap cheat chipper like this one 3 or 4 years ago, it instantly took 10+ shots off his game, he never turned back, mind u he is dreful with wedges, I tried it once and hated it, each to their own, init.

My mate was lethal from 40-60 yards with the good old wankers wedge!!!

Can't hit greens so my chipper is about the most used club in my bag.

I had a v1000 cricket bat. Did well

Bought a Wilson Chipper a few weeks ago....Brilliant....Couldn't give a 'Castlemaine 4X' what anyone thinks about it !!

I use that exact club as my wedge play is utter dogshit regardless of how much I use them. It gives me that bit of confidence around the Green.

These chippers clubs have been getting a lot of traction on youtube recently with Mark Crossfield / Coach Lockey having them in the bag. I play off 9 and used to be a really good chipper but this year that's been the weakest part of my game so I bit the bullet and bought one for £25 ! The brand I bought also came with a headcover so I can hide it in my bag !! Haven't used it yet but we're venturing out on the course this afternoon. I'm ashamed of myself !!!!!

Haha, at least this is not yet another regular chipper video.

i picked up a club like this for $5, it was ok, but its really better to familiarize yourself with your wedges...Also, people will most certainly make fun of you...which can fuck your game up indirectly

Its teach you.

How about a trick shot video with this chipper next 😂

Crypto is gaining momentum in the payment space as well, with Mastercard, PayPal and Visa increasing crypto exposure over the past several months. 凸

Don't really care if it's popular... golf is a zero sum game. Did i hole it in less strokes? Then i won the hole... complain about my club all you want to... Love my chipper 😂

Simon how many takes for the intro?

I took a donnay chipper from my parents garage.

I would just use a putter from that position

I like the videos but I don’t understand the need to hole the shots for viewing purposes I think the majority of people are perfectly happy the shots you are showing us or club get you closer to the hole with less effort I think your creating a lot more work for yourself man
