all right how you doing today it's gonna be beautiful look at this
awesome spot we're in uh we're gonna check out uh this guy today
let's go
well thanks for stopping by hope you like this video and that it
provides a little entertainment some light
some stuff that you may be looking for and uh make sure you hit that like
button subscribe to the channel too and hit the bell so you don't miss
anything now if you remember uh not too long ago i did a little like
90 degree wedge thing it was like a 68 degree but man that no
balance that was a pine meadow club well i was searching around the uh
interwebs and i found this guy by a pine meadow the other one did
pretty well i still use it sometimes fun club so i got this this is the pine
meadow look at that now non-sponsored they
don't give me anything i went on amazon and bought the thing
so this is a little hybrid chipper look at that thing
it's kind of got a fake little tailor-made rip-off logo right there
right look at that it's not a tailor-made okay
it's super shiny um it looks like a putter
but it's a chipper thing so what i'm gonna do is
i've kind of always been against these types of clubs
but we're going to put it to the test and see if it's uh
if it's going to be useful look at this watch this
here's my putter here's the chipper look at that
huh they're kind of similar this one just has 37 degrees of loft
this has four okay look at that pretty cool this is the odyssey
rossi stroke lab pine meadow it's uh that much longer than a putter
four inches no jokes right now how is it compared to a seven iron
length okay it's shorter than a seven iron okay so
it's more like a wedge length it's even shorter than a pitching wedge
huh so two it's probably 36 inches
i imagine because this is like a 32 inch putter
so about four inches longer okay so who is this
club for why would you even use this now at 37 degrees
it's the loft of either a seven or an eight iron depending on the types
of clubs that you have and if you're not comfortable chipping with the seven
or eight iron a lot of people aren't right it's just a
different longer club less control you gotta choke down and
people don't practice that so most people are chipping with some
type of a wedge however as you can see the sole on this
is pretty thin and a lot of times you're coming in
pretty steep let's see the average golfer so you would uh you might benefit
from something that has this type of soul on it huge
soul and it's got a little offset okay
from the face to the shaft so it helps you keep your hands in front of
that ball but we're going to put it to use and
then what club would you take out of the bag to add
this because it's really if it's a one trick pony but you miss a
lot of grains is it going to be worth it and
uh then we'll we'll see like what club would i take out of the bag if i were
gonna put this in and we'll put it to the test a little
bit um see how just it performs in a bunch of
different scenarios around the green all right
let's just start with the basics a little chip and run
and we'll go on from there come on
that went in ball stopped okay a couple things i'm noticing
one is i have to hold my hands a lot higher here like this
as opposed to this you don't want that club going like this at all you want to
have it pretty flat on the ground so you gotta hold it
upright which is a good technique even let's say with your seven iron or
something like that also like i would never chip this with a
seven or eight iron so i'm trying to get used
to the run out and the feel here uh but
it does go through the grass super easy that's pretty
that's pretty impressive uh like i haven't chunked one
which is good and i'm what i'm doing i'm using my putter grip
on here here not my full swing grip so it's hard to get
my hands up that high with a full string with a full swing grip
so i could use my putter grip
so never would i hit this shot uh i would never think to hit this shot
with a club like this but let's say you're not confident with your 60 or
your lofted wedge and you wanted to use your
chipper let's see how types of results you might expect
okay i'm putting it down there too
i like that
those are all in a line that's pretty crazy
it's just a putting stroke it's just a putt
even that ball down in this bermuda rough here
what's good is you you know you're not chunking down on the ball
those are pretty good i don't know can you see that line there
can you see the line that we've got that's not bad
in that situation
you know for something like this let's let's give it a little more
testing out like let's go a little farther
we got to know the truth going to know that it's full capabilities
okay 15 or so yards off the green uphill uh rough a little bit of rough
tighter lie let's see what we can do here
just kind of ball parking in on your
swing
one thing i'm noticing with this i certainly start the ball a lot
straighter on my line like consistently chipping
and go a little left little right because that face is rotating a little
bit you're taking a little more inside here it's just a putting stroke it's
easy to start those putts uh pretty much pretty online it's not
getting too far off so in terms of direction i've never like
chipped with that consistent uh starting line before
it's pretty pretty good all right let's see what it can't do
let's see if this can perform over the bunker here
and roll onto the green because that'll help you determine
which club to take out of the bag so let's see what we got
okay i mean that was pretty easy to get over be honest with you
now you better have a lot of green to work with in this
situation because you're not going to open that up can i open that up and take
a little swing
okay you can but it goes even farther so i would stick with uh the punting stroke
and you better not have to go too high okay
but this is certainly gonna run out pretty good
after the fact uh can it perform out of the trap though
because i know a lot of people struggle out of there that struggle with chipping
because there's a lot of similar uh things you're doing so let's see in the
bunker how pine meadow chipper does
the goal is to get out right can we get out with the chipper
oh i used a putting stroke that was easy and i hit it pretty clean
i wasn't hitting behind the ball at all i'm just trying to hit a a putt right
well that's pretty good go in
all right so a chipper club who is it for who's it not for
obviously if you're a great short game artist
then i would not use any type of chipper because it just limits your ability
to get creative with a number of different shots however
if you're somebody who struggles in the short game especially
around the green and you're chunking a lot of shots
something like this might benefit you and
i don't care what kind you get i got the pine meadow one and
i'll leave a link in the description below for this on amazon i get nothing
for it so it doesn't matter to me and the reason i
got this one is because it most resembled my putter so whatever
um one resembles your putter the most that's the one i would go with because
it's gonna be a putting stroke and that's how you're gonna use this thing
putting grip hunting stroke i would get the one that
looked most like the putter i used best and liked the most so that's why i got
this particular model and that's what i went with
now what club would i take out of the bag so if i struggle with my
chipping then i would uh take out my most lofted wedge sadly this is my
favorite wedge my 60 degree so i probably wouldn't use something like
this but i would if i struggled i would take out
the most lofted one and then out of the bunker i'd use
my 56 or 54 the next lofted one out of there
just transitioned to something different out of the sand trap and then i would
use this out of the trap if i didn't have much lip to go over and had a lot
of green to work with so you saw that and i would use this all the way around
the green pretty much everything especially if the less confidence i had
the more i used one of these and what i would do though is build
confidence by using a chipper and then slowly work back in some of my
other wedges around the green so that hopefully you know i could then
get rid of this because i do look at it kind of like a crutch but hey if you
need it and you have the yips then stick with it
go with what's going to get you the best score
and have you the best success around the greens because that's a very important
large percentage of your score so good luck to you
hope this is helpful this is kind of cool gotta get used to it though that's
for sure but it's easy to use love you guys see you in the next video
you
