Hi all just wondering if it is worth having a chipper in my bug or is it just better/easier to stick with the pitching wedge? any thought, ideas? thanks in advance for the replys

A chipper is such a one dimensional club that I don't see any good reason for having one. I use different clubs for different situations around the green, so I use an 8 iron in the type of situation where a chipper would most likely be used.

If you do choose to get one anyway, don't get one of the 2 faced ones that can be used both left and right handed. They are illegal for use in any sort of competition. The only club that can have a hitting face on both sides is a putter.

ehh, not a bad club to have, but I would save that spot in your bag for another wedge

Depends on what you have now. What you normally try to do is keep a fairly consistent spread between the lofts. Mine are PW 45°, GW 50°, and SW 56°. I don't carry a 60°.

IMO, if a PW is all you have now in terms of wedges, then I would at least go with a standard sand wedge loft at 56*

i have a sand wedge but i use my 10 iron as a pitching it seems to be about the same loft as the guys i play with is this correct?

The 10 iron is a pitching wedge... I don't know why some brands decided to call it that. Looks like what you need is a gap wedge... something to fit in between the 10 iron and your sand wedge.

Fourputt....does he even have a standard loft sand wedge?? I don't think he does (do you Surtees?)

anyway, go with a 56* for your sand wedge and if you already have one then Fourputt is right...you shopuld go with a gap wedge (GW) 52* degree would be good....wouldn't you agree Rick?
