FAVOURITE FIVE: The best golf chippers to help you around the greens
Struggle with a wedge in your hand around the greens? Then maybe one of these golf chippers might be the club you need...
Now they're not everyone's cup of tea, but golf chippers can be a great club to have in the bag if you're struggling to get that delicate touch you're looking for with a wedge in your hands.
They're also a great club for senior golfers, who may have lost a bit of mobility and a touch of feel. So if you keep chunking wedges around the greens, maybe on of these chippers could be worth a try.
Odyssey X-Act Tank Chipper
THE DETAILS:
By using Tank counterbalance technology in the X-Act Chipper Odyssey have been able to quieten your hands through your chipping stroke so that you make better contact with the golf ball. The X-Act sole design will eliminate poor connections with the golf ball especially on tighter lies for improved ball striking.
Odyssey have used a polymer insert for the face insert to ensure a soft feel for long and short greenside shots.
To make alignment incredibly easy Odyssey have used their Hi Def Marxman alignment system. A SuperStroke chipper grip has been used to further stabilise your wrists and hands through impact, and also allow you to get your hands into different positions so you can utilise the versatility of the chipper.
