I love it for just off the greens. Definitely much harder to chunk than a wedge or short iron, but also definitely not for every shot around the greens. I game one, but I also have a few other wedges.
Already carry a full bag and can’t see dedicating a chipper instead of my wedges. For short bump and runs from the fringe I just choke up on my 3 hybrid and swing like a putter - similar experience.
You could definitely still use a lower lofted iron, I just feel like this chipper didn’t get the leading edge stuck in the ground. Given I won’t actually be putting it in my bag, I thought it was an interesting comparison
For some reason I never use my 5 iron I’m always either a 6 or a 4 iron away I might take the 5 iron out for the Cleveland chipper. Another thought is to take out the 3 wood as my 3 hybrid goes a mile and straighter
I've been a user of cleveland smartsole 4 chipper since it was released and i can use it from 110 yards and below... I used to score 120to130 per game due to chunks, thin and shanks... but it went down to 100to105 when i bought the chipper.. When i learned how to use it 30,50,70 yards to 110 yards i can now score 85to88... Very useful club... The cleveland smartsole 4 chipper has 42 degree of loft, so i removed my 9i and pw, since my 9i has 40 deg, pw has 44...
What are your thoughts on chipper clubs? 👇

Legal game changers! Four strokes off my score on avg.
I have a Cleveland smart sole chipper in my bag and love it,,, it's even good in the sand...
I have 1 love it I’ve hit it from 15 yrds and great outta the bunker
Thanks to you I will never look at my Vokey's the same way again. LOL
Haha
Great video you should go in your dads bag more 😂, I love my chipper have you bought one yet or just kept your dads👍🏌️♂️
Would you not be aswell off to use a 9i? My SIM2 MAX 9 Iron loft is 39 degrees and the Odyssey X-Act Chipper loft is 37 degrees.

@@thatgolfgrind definitely good for mid to high handicappers though. Good shout and great content!
@@adrianoregan2531 thanks man! Appreciate the support!
If you've got space in the bag fair enough but I'm not taking clubs out to put a chipper in
I agree, it was definitely interesting and surprising to try out though

@@coreyvanular I can virtually guarantee that you will save more shots with that chipper than you ever would with a 3 wood.
Is it legal to have a putter grip on a chipper
No its not, its on the usga rules
@@amir3992 wow , I didnt know that. Thats interesting
i have fat putting grips on all wedges. 5 years now and the USGA has not said a word …
Just got the Cleveland smart sole c wedge arguably the best chipper ever made , LFG😂

..so 110yds with an upright club using a putting stroke, how is that possible?
I have a similar club, and I absolutely love it!
I used to have a similar club and now I’m sorry that I sold it.
I was really surprised how well it worked
