You see that shot I just played? Well it was with a 54 degree wedge and why did I play that? Well because that's what I'm told to play, that's the shot that I would expect to play and that's the kind of club I would obviously reach for. Is that a mistake? You see last weekend well I was taught a proper hard lesson in golf because while I was playing all kinds of fancy shots from around the green, flop shots, chip and run one with a little bit of a check, never really succeeding in getting up and down. I played against someone who had a much more straightforward game. He had a real interesting product in the bag and he seemed to do this no matter what and that would stick that ball to within two fourths, three fourths anywhere in and around the green and made his up and down far more often than I did with a full bag of wedges. And after he duly gave me a good hide and I took a little bit of a closer look into his bag and the exact club he was using it was exactly the same club every time. No matter where he landed in terms of short of the green he would always reach for exactly the same club and play a number of different shots with it but ultimately get the ball very close to the hole virtually every time. Right. We need a bit of a cut here if we're going to get close but how brave can we be? That's a good line, you know? That's a real good line. Tonight I have took a wand up to my old stomping ground at Northup Golf Club in North Wales. It's just about seven miles from Chester. It's a parkland course. We're spending a bit more time here over the next few months so we'll be doing a little bit more filming here but it's a gorgeous evening but the question I have for you is before I make the reveal have you guessed what that club was that he had in his bag? Oh my word. Don't go in. And it nearly did. It's just run a little bit by that club that he had in his bag but it was one of these. It's a 45 degree chipper. Yeah, a chipper. Now we are all or most of us look at one of these things and well we think we're too good for it. I'm not sure we are. Oh my word. That's ridiculous. You see the thing is I've played this chipper from a number of different lives a number of different distances from the whole but essentially all around the green the type of scenario I would be taking all types of wedges to execute those shots. And as you've just seen this thing does one thing really, really well. That's not just hold it because that's a bonus. I've not played here for a while. I used to play a kind of like six iron maybe five iron or hybrid. Well a little bit. White T's are right at the very back another maybe 20 yards back. So I think I'll try six iron. Can we get one down the middle? Yeah, I think that'll do. Now don't go in again. Oh my word, you know what it nearly did but what it does so well is exactly what just happened there and on that previous hole where we chipped in and that's first of all it gets the ball rolling at the hole. But let's be honest, if you're going to hole a chip then that's the first thing you've got to do but it does it extremely easy and you'll see the stroke that I'm using is an extremely easy putting style chip motion which again is copycat of what this guy that I played with at the weekend he made it look so, so simple and that's all he continued to do. Chipper in hand, putting motion extended the length of that swing depending on obviously how far he was from the hole and he just got that ball rolling at the hole. So for all my fancy flop shots that's really difficult to judge length and distance for all the times where I was going to throw it in low and check it up and I thought it was such a clever little golfer doing that kind of thing I just couldn't get anywhere near a man and his chipper. You see the thing is, if you think about it for one minute what is the easiest club that you've got in your bag to use? There's your putter. Arguably you'd be struggling if you managed to duff a putt. So it stands to reason that effectively this is a putter with some loft on it. So you do nothing else apart from executing your putting stroke which we just said you can't seem to get wrong and all of a sudden you've got a club in the bag that assists you with a part of the game that can be quite tricky. It's a no brainer really. Now don't get me wrong we all know this club also has its limitations and faced with a shot like this not the greatest of lies well I'd much prefer to have other wedges in the bag but we'll give this one a go but also realise it with a bit of practice you could also castata execute maybe a bit more of a variety of a shot. Do you know what that's not bad either chase up chase up just a little bit short and you'll see a couple of shots that I played earlier on the previous screen all's not rosy in the garden this thing just doesn't make you a fantastic chipper all of a sudden a little bit of practice is needy and see these two just run on a little bit but the thing for me is it almost acts as a training aid in simplifying that chipping stroke so when you get used to this maybe you'd start to develop a move with a bit more confidence into those more lofted wedges Now the irony is this club I had in the garage that I reviewed well possibly two and a half maybe three years ago on the channel and I pretty much said exactly what I'm saying in this video as I did then but do you know what it's still never got in my bag and I pretty much stuck everything stiff as well that day we're weird people as golfers aren't we that is inches from going in again well yeah literally inches away right past the old again and that's what it does really well like I said at the beginning of the video so I won't repeat that getting that ball online simplifying the job in and look it's hard enough when you're faced with a 400 yard par 400 yard par you've got to execute a number of different shots to try and get that ball somewhere near the hole but when you get in and around that green and the last thing you want to do is mess things up when that short game goes astray so if you are struggling and looking for some solutions yes you need to work on technique but why not consider giving one of these ago because honestly it simplifies the stroke a huge amount it gives you plenty more options and can build some confidence and that can only be a good thing yet again three years on put the chipper in the bag and amazed just how well it's performed but as you know I'm still not sure it will ever get in my bag see you later
