null Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 The new Ping chipper. Seriously. Short game is a strong part of my game, but the weak part of my game is playing low running chip shots.

chisag Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 ... The new Ping Chipper looks interesting. I would hope you could get it in a package deal with a ball retriever and iron head covers. Juuuuust kidding of course because I do think the Ping Chipper is interesting and I would love to play a round using one. Never had a use back in the Midwest but most shots in the desert are tight, grainy bermuda and calls for bump and runs, not pitches or lob shots so it is a shot I am still working on to match the rest of my short game. ... One of the issues I have with chippers advertising, especially in videos, is they show someone using their wedge/iron attempting to execute a long wristy chip without moving down the grip and hitting it fat and thin. Then with the chipper in their hands they stand closer to the ball and use a putter like stroke with much better results. I have yet to see one Ad where the player using the wedge/iron uses that same putter like stroke with their wedge/iron. Of course this has nothing to do with performance of a chipper or whether or not the shorter shaft and squarer head gives the player more confidence. One of my high index pards falls into that category and had no confidence using a wedge/iron but hits his chipper with a completely different stroke and most importantly, more confidence. sirchunksalot, JohnSmalls, GaDawg and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

edingc Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thinking about the top of my bag for next season already. Currently have the Super Hybrid at 16 degrees and the Epic Flash 4 hybrid at 20 degrees. The Epic Flash is essentially a 6/7 wood, and I can expect reasonably struck shots to carry about 225-235 from the tee and maybe from the deck if I really catch one. I don't use the Super Hybrid much - I hit one tee shot with it every round at my home course and I've used it sparingly otherwise. This winter I was able to get 250+ carry out of it off the deck at times on the Mevo+, but realistically on course it's probably a 230-240 club. Those two clubs and my Cobra 4 Utility are now the only non-fitted clubs in my bag, so I'm thinking a top of bag fitting might be in order next spring. Not sure if I'd want to go to back to a wood or not, it's just so rarely used that I don't think I'd justify the money. Really tough to justify too much more money when the course I play most often just isn't long enough. It was a lot of fun getting out last week on vacation to a 6,800-ish yard course where a lot of different clubs got a workout. I'm no more accurate with the Super Hybrid than driver, so I never give up the distance except where I'm absolutely forced to. sirchunksalot, Nolan220, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 2 others 5 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 3.6 / Anti-Cap: 9.9 (Last Updated Sept. 1, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

I think overall it's a much more consistent result with the Motore X than the AutoFlex. I had a nice honeymoon period with the AF, but mishits seemed to be more penalized than with the Motore. I haven't been hitting my driver all that well this season, but ShotScope has my P-AVG at 278 yards (all Motore) and Arccos had my smart distance at 284 yards (mostly AF). A wet spring did not help overall distance and I also have done zero speed training work since the fall. I have managed a few 300-plus ones with a little wind or elevation help, but overall I still wish I was a more consistent driver of the golf ball.
