We may be used to seeing tour pros use lob wedges effectively around the greens, but how often do we actually get maximum performance from this? Golf chippers are a great alternative that can provide consistency and control for golfers struggling with their game around the greens. But also work as a great alternative to chipping with a less lofted iron if that isn’t something you feel comfortable doing.
Now is a great time to invest in a golf chipper as brands are bringing out new and updated models. Ping have just released a new chipper – or Chipr – as they are calling it.
They’re affordable, forgiving and might just become your new favourite club over time, regardless of your handicap.
In fact, can be far more player friendly than even the best wedges. They’re not the most versatile of clubs out there, but they’re great for what they’re made for: eliminating the most debilitating short-game misses.

Ping Golf Chipr
Welcome to the PING ChipR, a fully engineered chipping solution that combines elements of a putter and wedge to help golfers improve performance around the greens and lower their scores.
This club is aimed at golfers who lack confidence with their traditional wedge and frequently struggle with their chip shots around the green. Research indicates 1/3 of all golfers would greatly benefit from a PING ChipR.
This awesome bit of kit is recommended for shots within 40 yards of the green from the rough or fringe, golfers apply a putting-like stroke to achieve distance control and consistency without fear of chunking or blading their shots.
